however useful the latter may nave oeeh IN ti'e
countries to which they belong. The climate OF tho
United States stands unrivalled FOR the Prouuc,ion
of medicinal plants, and very little investigation

That although the purgative always induces an IN =

Its effects extend every part of the system, and
for that are not liable TO oTeraoton IN any

No disease ever was or ever will be cured unless
by medicines which produce the effects above men
toned. Every system of practice is more or
less perfect in proportion to its power OF acting on
the different excretories and the Indian system
claims pre- emnence only because 1t possesses Inc
power of opening, and keeping open all the ha'urai
drains.
The inestimable value Of a medicine which
will act on all the excretories, at one and the same
time, is more apparent when we reileCt ti tno III
man body is complicated machine, consisting OF
numberless different and distinct members, all OF
which are SO intimately connected, and mutually
der endant, that part can be injured without
producing corresponding degree OF INJURY on ev-
cry other part; therefore, one part OF the body
cannot be diseased, and another part healthy ;
neither part be cured while another part
remains diseased. Disease begins in the blood, and
as the blood flows to every part of the system, eve
ny part of the system must become more or less dis
ed disease is cured unless the cause is removed
and to remove the cause must restore the booo
to healthy state, and if the blood is made healthy
every part of the body mast be the same

system of practice and the more it is investigated
the more reasonable it appears as REGARDS us
