TNIIE doctrine promulgated with much assurance
Il by many empires of The present day, that me-
dicne will cure all diseases, is not and never can be
true; and he who it, is either fool or an i'm
poster. But it is fact demonstrate by experience
that combinations of medicine may be formed from the
VEGETABLE KINGDOM, that will act so universally on
the system, when taken seasOnably and IN udcious pro
portions as cure nine cases out OF ten, all diseases
within the reacl, and power OF medicine.
From the well known and established reputation of
Caiomei, it has long been employed by the empric,
and scientific physician, as one OF the most powerful
agents for the removal of disease. BY the former, al
every land has been deuged with nostrums, that
their authors claimed specifics in every disease incl
dent 10 the human family. The folly of these preten
sons needs comment, for accurate chemical investi
cation has shown that the base of most Of the Panaceas,
Catholicons &c. which hate been trumpetted before
the community with much assurance, is Calomei,
mercury in some form. Now, if this potent articee
in the hands of the most sku ply scian frequent
ly exerts an influence the human SYSTEM unforeseen
and entirely beyond the control Of art; undermining ill.,
constitution and bringing on premature old age, disease
and DEATH what result should be expected when pre-
scribed by the ignorant! Could their many thousand
victims speak, voice from the tomb would dispel
he specific delusion that now sways the minds of the
living.
Humane Physicians deplore the sad evils resulting
from tue mercural practice, and will gladly hail the in
PRODUCTION of article TIM safely be substituted for
calomel. They feel, and that kesnty the uncertainty
of its prmars operation; they cannot say whether it Will
be favorable unavorabe. They also knorr, and feel,
that il use is continued for any considerable time, in
furious secondary consequences must follow But they
choose the least of two evils; they know other
article that will tsrid huer, remove obstruc-
tion and in free action the whole ylandular system,
and it being inspensably necessary to do this, they
continue its use, Notwithstanding the evil consequences
which follow.
They have long desired and sought an article that
would produce the good effects of this drug, without
subectng the patient to its deletef0s results. Such
esderatum it is believed has at length been obtaneus
in the article now presented to the public.
The proprie,ors Of this article keeping in view the
fact, that wise and beneuoen Being, has placed with
in the reach of ALL remedies adapted to the diseases in
clen to the climate they nhabt; and knowing, like
wise, that most of the diseases of the South and Hest
.re based upon organic or functional arrangement Of
the liver; directed their attention those articles which
act more esp, cialy on the bliar, organs
After long, laborous and expensive research, they
have succeeded in extracting substance from the To-
MAIO, which, from its peculiar effect upon the hepa
1t is a medicine that will produce all the beneficial
results of Caomc in both acute and chronic Diseases
without the possibility of producing the leerousde tcon
sequences common to that article
lis action upon tie constitution is UNIVERSAL no part
of tue system escaping its influence. 1t is however,
upon the organs of secretion and eXcretlon, that its
great power is particularly manifested hence it is pc
culiariy adapted to tie treatment OF 6iHous f1es and
other diseases in which torpdty congestion OF the
liver and bortut circle prevail
1t is admissible in all cases. where it is necessary
cleanse the stomach and bowels 1t removes ebstruc-
tiOn and exctes quick and healthy action of the liver
and other glan,uar ,iccra of the abdomen. Being diff
tusable in operation, it produces free circulation
in the vessels the surface of the body accompanied
by gentle perspiltio 1t does not exhaust like dras
tic purges; still, its action is UNIVERSAL and may
often be repeated, not merely with safety but with greas
benefit. This becomes dispensably necessary in
of long standing; for in them intense temporary impress
sions made by strong medicines, Seldom if ever, do
good; but tend to njure the stamina of the constitution.
