ADDRESS TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Fellow Citizens:-At time IKE me present.
when our country is literally flooded with nostrums
brought from foreign climes, you may perhaps
think it an Of temerity in us TO offer as can
didale for your favoor and patrnage, Meuiclhe
which is strictly AMERICAN. Common sense,
however, teaches US, that those herbs which spring
spontaneously from our native soil, must De peter
adapted to our constitutions than foreign medicines
however useful the latter may have been In the
countries to hich they belong The climate OF the
United States stands unrivalled for the production
of medicinal plants and very little investigation
will suffice to convince the most skeptca that our
oaom country is able 10 supply all our wants, Inde-
pendent of foreign assistance.
| Deeply impressed with the Importance of the a
bove mentioned facts venture to recommend the
INDIAN PURGATIVE to the patronage of our
fellow citizens in every section of the Union, as
natural remedy, applicable to our constitutions, ana
competent 10 every durable disease.
| In bringing q medicine before the public for the
first time it generally thought necessary to i'm
press the people with idea of the difficulties en-
countered in its discovery, or the antiquity al lis

OF THE WEST. One of the herbs is an expecto-

Its mode of curing is first 10 ncuraze all putrefae-
tive matter in the body second to cause the ex.
pulsion of the through the proper outlets,
pro vided bv nature for that purpose consequently
it's action is not confined TO the bowels, although
it is greatest there, but extends TO the nostrils,
throat saival glands, lungs, shin and kldneys
Each Of the above drains is intended by nature
for the discharge of an excretion or impury pecu-
liar tn itself, and although we may tor time com
pei the constitution to evacuate the whole whole
through one drain, such treatment cannot fail to
derange the mechanism of the body, aud utterly
ruin the health of the patient 1t is true that all
diseases on se from impurities of the blood, but II is
also true that nature has provided many different
channels for the discharge OF these impurities -
therefore we not likely TO benefit the patient
by trampng on the laws OF nature in bringing all
the different kinds of excretory matter through one
channel hence the evil Of attempting to cure all
diseases by of sweating or vomiting, or
ply sicing any other method which opens only
one class of excretores.
No medicine deserves be called UniUersal
Remedv unless its effects extend TO each and every
one of the natural drains and this power is
en- claimed by any medicine except the Indian Pur-
gative. La accordance with these several proper
ties the operation of the Indian Purgave is regu
lated by the state of the patients body. Thus, il

toned Every system of practice Is more O
less perfect, in proportion TO its power of acting
the different excretories and the Indian system
claims pre-emnence only because IL possesses III
power of opening, and keeping open all the natura

The inestimable value of medicine whic
will act on all the excretories, at one and the sam
