/ wv lIEREAS, il i. now an absolute and well
/ w known fact that every disease, whether
il be in the head or feet, in the brain or meanes
member, whether it De an outward ulcer or an
inward abscess, are all. though arising from many
causes. rcducible To this one grand effect namely
impury Of the blood. For on the healthy or un-
healthy condition Of the Stomach and Bowels en-
tirely depends the pure or impure state Of tho
blood. aud consequently the healthy or unhealthy
state of The body.
| II hath been clearly proved in former advertise
ments that the stomach and bowels ars the sover-
cigns Of the body and that by them life or death
is propelled TO its remotest exiremities the head,
with its master organ, the brain, being in no 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 eyidcnt-whethcr
the one is only II modification Of The other will
always continue u mystery in this state Of exist
encc /; 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 TO follow nature, TO assist her
in her manifest struggles, what mighty results
might she not effect Every thing would arrange
itself in order. as il were Of course, and the whole
work is half done rs soon us il be once undertake
en-. 'Purge out the old lcaven that you may
become new lump" is the language Of script
urea figure applied spiritually by some, but
how could il have any force unless sanctioned by
practical experience n the body Of matier' In
stinct, more unerring guide than our much
boasied reasoning faculty, prompts the horse to
eat thorns, ihistles, &c. &C. for the purpose Of
Purgaiion. In like manner, the dog, the cat, and
all our domestic animals, whose habits can be
noticed, wander through the fields wheh cOstive,
making selections Of those herbs which arc suta-
bic to open their bowels and purify their fluids
DO We not observe that the feal,ercd tribe, whose
ston,achs act by mechanical force alone, without
the solvent fluid Of the gastric juice require the
swallowing and retaining Of stony PARTICLES in pro-
portion to their bulk, to promote digestion and
produce Il healthy tone in their fluids, by evacua-
tion
These animals Of tho brutal race, by thus rs.
sis,ng nature, secure themselves from epidemic
cOnta asion-ihough they are under similar laws 10
those which govern the human economy. Purga-
ton, which is q word Of equivalent value with
publication. appears then to DO a fundamental
principle Of nature. Are not the tides the daily
and periodical purifiers of the ocean, Are moi
the ieInpesis and tornadoes tho purgatives and
purifiers Of the air DO we not habitually re-
mark that If this principal Of connotion ceases
for a time 10 operate, both water and air become
stagnant! And if the circulation Of thy blood, q
Man, should become anguid, 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 tho bowels, or il
not removed in time, they will soon choke up the
veins. the arteries, and every passage Of health
and yigOr.
From such unqucs,onable facts as these. the
all important necessity Of watching diligently the
condition Of the stomach and bowels becomes
sclf.evdent and also the infinite value Of a me-
dicine, which will carry of all obnoxious accu-
mutations from them, without weakening the sys-

weak and delicate will be strengthened by theil
use, not by bracing. but by removing the cause
of weakness, the gross and corrupt humors Of the

any kind. Plain directions accompany each box,
