ADDRESS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Fellow Ctizens:-At a time like the present,
when country is literally flooded with nostrums
brought from foreign chimes, you may perhaps
think it act of temerity in TO offer as can
ddale for your iavoor and patnage, Medicine
w hch is strictly AMERICAN. Common sense,
however. teaches u.s. that those hel bs which spring
spontaneously from our native SOIL must be better
adapted to consti uons than foreign medicines
however useful the latter may have been in the
countries to which 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 skepical that our
o,Cn country Is able 10 supply all our wants, lnde-
pendent of foreign assistance.
Deeply impressed with the Importance of the A.
bove mentioned facts we venture 10 recommend the
INDIAN PURGATlVE to the patronage Of
fellow citizens in every section of the Union, as
natural remedy applicable TO oar constitutions, and
competent to cure every durable disease
In bringing medicine before the public for the
first time, it generally thought necessary to I'M
press the people with an idea of the dsDcuHtes en-
countered in its discovery or the dnttqHty of lis
origin thus tells us that his medicine IS "a
newly discovered chemical compound the result or

Grandfather, &c. Now, as the success OF medI-
cine must depend It's own intrinsic merits, and
not the time or manner IN wnich !! was 9iscoV-
cred we cannot see the use OF classifying, for the
nurpose of inv esng its origin with fictitious anti

FOUR SIMPLE HERBS, used for the cure of dis

pulson of the same through the proper outlets, I

its action is not confined to the bowels, although |
it is greatest there, but extends to the nostris,

through one drain, such treatment cannot fail to
derapgo the mechanism of the body, aud utterly |
ruin the health of the patient. 1t is true that all
diseases arise from impurities OF the blood, but it is
also true that nature has provided many different
channels for the discharge of these impurities 81
therefore we are not likely to benefit the patient
by trampIing the laws oil nature in bringing all |
the different kinds of excretory matter through one
channel hence the evil of attempting to cure all |
diseases by course of sweating, or vomiting, or
hysicing, any other method which opens only |
one class of excretories.
No medicine deserves to be called Uaioersat
