ADDRESS TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

1
Literally flooded with nostrums brought from iorclgn
climes, you may perhaps think II an act OF temeffy
in us TO 1fer, as candldate for your avorand pat
ronage,a Medicine which Is street. AMERICAN
| Common sense, however, touches us, That those
! herbs which spring spontaneously from our own
native soil, must be bctlor adaptedto cur corsiin-
lions than torcig1l medicines, however usenl the
latter may have been i'll tie countries 10 which
they belong. The climate OF the United Statos
stands unrivalled for the production of medicine
plants, and very little investigation will suffice as
convince the most skepcal that our countryoll
able to supply all our Waits independent if
foreign assistance.
! Deeply impressed with the importance of the
above facts, We venture recommend the LNDLiN
! PUHG.13!I,E 10 the patronage OF our fellow clti-
lens in every section of the country, ns NATURAL
remedy, appl cable 10 constitutions, and compc-
tei tothe c;:rc Il every rnrahio disease.
In bril gig a-ncdicinc before the public for the
first lime, it is generally thought accessory to i'm
press The people with an idea of tho difficulties
couutcred in lis discovery or the Antiquity Of lis
origin; Il Us one tells that lis medicine is "a
newly dscoyet,d Chcni a compound tie result OF
many wears intense study aud scientific research
ana another asc;Lcs honor 10 somebody's GEASD
fATulR, &c. Nov rs The success of Il medicine
must depend Oh lis in'rin ,c merits, and not on III
time or m'nnrr Gf is discovery; we cannot SEQ tb1
usc Of tisliying, fir the purpose Of investigating
its origin ith iaclcioIls antiquity. Such auxil-
ares not needed on the present occasson, as Il,
Siilne t)S' Oh tIlC VIII Sulllce
convince every invalid (and te such only we look
for impartial vertc0 that its curative effects in
calcalably superior 10 those olany other medicine
, now in use. Proud of This superiority, scorn
fictitious aid, but give ii to the world for What ii is
-SIMPLY co npound OF FOUR SIMPLE HERBS used
for the cure of diseased by the COPPER COLOE-
ED WARRIORS OFTHE " EST. One of1Ie
herds is an expeclorant one sodorlfie one dur
ATTIC, and one cathariic, The proper combinuiin o
the above forms an nn.iputrcsent aud deobsrutni I
medicine, of such efficacy and power has been
4 hitherto unknow in the art OF healing. Its mode
CT curing is first to nouraeze all lutrclactiye nial
Ter in tie body; second To tic expulsion q

mot canfincd TO the bowels. aitl'oogifit is gnealer
there, but extends TO the nosglls, throat, s;disa

Each Of The above drains is intended by nature for
( the Fischagco ian excrption pecullnr 10 itself, and
l.al,hougiiw we may for time compel the constitution

body and utterly ruin tho health oil the patient. Ii
IS true that all diseases arise from impurities Of II e
blood but it is also true that nature has provided
many channels for inc discharge Of these impure
lties therefore mot likelyo benefit the pa
tieni by trampiing otlic laws Of nature, in bring
Ling al The diiicront kinds of cxcretory matter
Through o,Ie channel: hence the evil Of attempting
to cure all diseases by course OF sseaiingor ply,
! scing or any other method which opens only one
i -
class OF cxcretories.
| No medicine deserves to be called Universal rem
ely unless its effects extends oas'l, and every enc
] of The natural drains and this Ia.yer is not even
I claimed by any medicine except the Indian Par,
gavc. In accordance with these several properties
tho operation Of tire Indian Pnrgatvc is regulated
BY the sfaa ct the patients boby. T.isiithe OBJ

it will induced copious splitting, if the cells oltlc
cellular membranes or excretories ofe skin, gem

under every combination of circumstances, il viii
act more or less calhariic. Here il is proper
to remark that alihaughth purgative always in
duo ca an increased number Of alsme excavations,
aud is capable Of overcoming the most obstinate
cases Of costivencss, it does not raise hurlcane =
in the bowels, waste Tie healthy juices by ever
evacuation. lis effects extend to evnlv part of the
SYSTEM and fer that reason not liable to over
| action in any one part
No disease ever WIS ever will be cured unless
lby medicines which produce the effects above men
toned Every system Of practice is more or less
pericct in proportion 10 It's power of acting on the
different exctetories; and the Indian system claims
preemuence only because ii possesses tho power
of opening, and keeping open all the natural drains
| The iucsmable value of the medicine which
vil ACT on all the cycretolie@. at one aud al The
| same lime, is inoreApparcii When We reject That
| teh humln body is complicated machine,
consisting of uumberess different and distinct
! nemhers, all of which are so intimately. connected
! injured without producing corresponding degree
ofiniurv every oil er part; therefore any Of the
body cannot he discussed and another part iaatliy;
neither can one part be cured while another remas

flows To cucrv part Of the system must become more
OF less diseased disease is cured unless Tie cause
is removed, and to remove the must restore
the blood 10 healthy state and if the blood is
made healthy, every pnrl CT The body must be the
same.
We have now illustrated the natural or Indian
system of practice and The more it is Investigate d
the moro reasonable il appears regnrcs its ruth,
have only 20 to reflect that it was taught by Ma
,ure, and therefore must be true When the body
stands in need Of noarishing, We arc impeod by
hunger 10 cat. and when il is diseased, we are I'M
peod by instinct TO medicine; and there canno,
he doul that if lived in state of nature,
this instructive feeling would always direct Ia
the PROPER MEDi CINE; hence the superiority
of the Indian System The art of healing was first
learnnd in the woods aud TO this day the untutored
savage is the best medical teacher; for The Indian
practice is the only one which is consonant to these
eternal and imnutabh laws which govern the amin
al economy.
/ Having already proved that the Indian Purgative
4 acts in direct accordance with the LAWS OF Ma
TURE, and is therefore equal TO the euro Of every
lcurabe disease, we viii now enumerate few OF
the complaints for which it has been tried, and
