VN1 iIEREAS, il is now an absolute and well
i w known fact. that every disease, whether
il be in tho head or feet, in the brain or meanes'
member, whether IL oe an outward nicer Or, MI
inward abscess, are all, though arising from many
causes, reducible to this grand effect namely
impurity Of the blood. For on the healthy or un-
healthy condition Of the Stomach and Bowels en-
iirely depends the rure or impure state Of the
blood and consequently the healthy or unhealthy
state of the body.
Il hath been clearly proved in former ADVERTISE
men,s that the stomach aud bowels are the sover-
egns of the body, and that by them liis or death
is propelled 10 its reInotest exfrenties, the heao
with its master organ, the brain, beng 10 no wise
more distinguished than the foot IN Tins particn,ar'
How can we then deny tho great ana leading
truth, that there is a reciprocal influence between
mind and body' The fact is eydent-whelher
the one is onIy a modification Of The other will
always continue mystery in this state oil exist
encc bu, our comfort. our repose, nay, even our
social aud domestic happiness depends upon the
state Of our hillary aud digestive organs-and me
mana cement and cure OF the disorders OF the mind
must be made by application 10 the body.
II 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 in order as it were Of COURSE aud the whole
work is half done as soon as il be once undertake
en-. .Purge out the old leaven 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 in the body Of matter In
stinct, a more unerring guide than our much
boasted reasoning faculty, prompts the horse 10
eat ilorns, thistles, &c. &C. Tor tho purpose OF
purgaton. In like manner, the dog, the cat, and
k..t. .ssS m
noticed, wander through the fields when costive,
making selections Of those herbs which are sulia-
BILE 10 open their bowels and purify their fluids
Do we not observe that the feaihercd tribe, whose
sto,nachs act by mechanical force alone, without
the solvent fluid Of the gastric juice, require the
swall owing and retaining Of stony PARTICLES IN pro.
portion to their bulk, Ia promote digestion and
produce healthy tone in their fluids, by e'acua-

These animals Of the brutal race, by thus as
.stinc nature, secure themselves from epidemic
cona sion- though they are under similar laws 10
those which govern the human economy. Purga-
lion. which is a word Of equivalent value with
publication, appears then 10 be n fundamental
principle of nature. Are not the tides the daily
and periodical purifiers of the ocean Are not
the tempests and tornadoes tho purgatives and
purifiers of the air DO we not habitually re-
mark that if this principal Of commoton ceases
for time TO operate, both water and air become
stagnani! And if the circulation Of thy blood, o
Man, should become languid, should the hunors
accumulating in thy sluggish channels Of life, pre-
vent the healthy current, where is thy remedy !!
They must be driven down BY the bowels, or IL
not removed in time, they will soon choke up the
veins. the arteries, end every passage Of health
and vigor.
From such unqucstonable facts as these. the
all important necessity Of watching diligently the
condition OF the stomach and bowels becomes
self evident and also the infinite value Of me-
dicine, which will carry of all obnoxious accu-
mutations from them, without weakening the sys-
tenn, and such a one 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 as an antibilious and
a. .ericnt medicine are unrivalled all who use,
recommend them (; their virtues surpass all euo-
gy, und must be used TO be appreciated. The
weak and delicate will be strengthened by their
use, not by bracing, but by removing the cause
Of weakness, the gross and corrupt hulnors Of the
body. They require no change in diet or care oi
any kind. Plain directions accompany each box,
so that every one is his own competent physician.
