II INV HEREAS, il is now an absolute and wei
II w known fact, that every disease, whether
it be in tho head or feet, in the brain or meanes
member, whether il be an outward ulcer or ar
inward abscess, are ALL though arising from many
causes, reducibe TO this one grand effect, namely
impsrity Of the blood. For on the healthy or un-
healthy condition Of tho Stomach and Bowels en-
tirely depends the pure or impure state Of tho
blood. md consequently the healthy or unhealthy
state Of the body.
Il 1t hath been clearly proved in former advertise.
ments that the stomach and bowels are the sover-
cigns Of the body, and that by them life or death
is propelled TO its remotest extremities the head
with its master organ, the brain, being in wise
more distinguished than the foot in this particular
How can we then deny the great and leading
truth, that there is reciprocal influence between
mind and body? The fact is evident-whether
the one is ronly modification Of The other will
always continue mystery in this state Of exist
enco ; but our comfort, our repose, nay, even our
social and domestic happiness depends upon the
state Of our hillary and digestive organs-and the
management and cure Of the disorders Of the mind
must be made by application to the body
\ Were we content 10 follow nature, to assist her
/ in her manifest struggles, what mighty results
might she not effect Every thing would arrange
itself n order as it were Of course, and The whole
work is half done as soon as it be once undertake
en- s.Purge out the old leaven that you may
become a new lump" is the language Of script
Urea figure applied spiritually by somo. but
how could il have any force unless sanctioned by
practical experience in the body Of matter? In
s,inct, more unering guide than our much
boasted reasoning faculty, prompts the horse TO
eat thorns, thistles, SC. sc. for the purpose Of
purgaiion. In like manner, the dog, the cat, and
all our domestic animals, whose habits can he
noticed, wander through the fields when costve,
making selections Of those herbs which are suita-
BILE to open their bowels and purify their fluids
DO we not observe ,ha, the fea,hered tribe, whose
stomachs &C, by mechanical force alone, without
the solvent fluid of the gastric juice, require the
swa wallowing and retaining Of stony particles in pro-
portion TO their bulk, To promote digestion and
produce n healthy tone in their fluids, by evacua-
ton
| These animals Of the brutal race, by thus "a.
sisting nature, secure themselves from epidemic
contag agion-ibough they are under similar laws TO
those which govern The human economy. Purga-
ton, which is a word Of equivalent value with
publication, appears then to be fundamental
principle Of nature. Are not the tides the daily
and periodical purifiers Of the ocean, Are not
the tempess and tornadoes the purgaives and
purifiers Of the air DO we not habitually re-
mark that if this principal Of commotion ceases
for time 10 operate, both water and air become
stagnant! And if the circulation Of thy blood, o
Man, should become langud, should the humors
accumulaing in thy sluggish channels Of life, pre-
vent the healthy current, where is thy remedy /?
They must be driven down by the bowels, or if
not removed in time, they will soon choke up the
veins, the arteries, and every passage Of health
and vigOr.
Il From such unquostionable facts rs these. the
II all important necessity Of watching diligently the
CONDITION Of the stomach and bowels becomes
II sef-evident and also the infinite value of a me-
| dcine, which will carry off all obnoxious accu-
mutations from them, without weakening the sys-
tenn, and such a ono is-Brandeth's Vegetable
| Universal Pills, which in England and America
have stood the test Of trial, and have performed
cures upon thousands of helpless persons after the
usual scientific skill Of physicians had consoled
| them with the assurance that they could do no
more. Their properties an antibilious and
| aLerient medicine are unrivalled all who use,
| recommend them their virtues surpass all eulo-
gy, and must be used to be appreciated. The
weak and delicate will be strengthened by their
use, not by bracng, but by removing The cause
Of weakness, the gross and corrupt humors Of the
body. They require no change in diet or care Of
any kind. Plain directions accompany each box
SO that every one is his own competent physician.
