ADDRESS TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Fellow Citizens:--At a time Like the present,
when our country is literally flooded with nosrums
brought from foreign chnes, you may perhaps
think il an act Of temeryin us TO offer as can
dida,e for your favor and patronage, Meoie'he
which is strictly AMERICAN. Common sense,
however teaches us, that those herbs whch spring
spontaneously from our native SOIL must Dc cel'er
adapted constitutions than ore'Sn 'heoo'.e
however useful the latter may have been IN tne
countries TO which they belong The clii"ate ol!he
United States stands unrivalled for the production
OF medicinal plants, and avery hiile inves',sh'o'l
will suffice TO convince the most skeptcal that our
oaon country is able 10 supply all our wahls, Hue-
pendent of foreign assistance ,Fr.
Deeply impressed with the importance OF me a.
bove mentioned facts we nture1o recommend the
INDIAN PURGATIVE to the patronage oil our
fellow citizens in every section of the Union, as
natural remedy, applicable to our constitutions, ana
competent to cure every durable disease
In bringing a medicine before the public Tor the
first time il Is generally thought necessary to I'M
press the people with idea of the dsbIcuft'eS en-
countered in its discovery, or the Antiquity al lis
OF gin thus tells us that his medicine is "
newly discovered chemical compound, the result OF
many years intense study and scientific research;'
and another ascribes the honor to somebody's
Grandfather, DC. Now, as the SUCCESS OF medi-
cine must depend on It's own intrinsic merits ana
not on the time manner in which twas dscov-
cred, we see the of ialsifying, Tor the
purpose of investing its origin with fictitious anti
| guilty Such auxiliarles are not needed on inc
present occasion, single dose OF the Indian FUR
aatve will suffice to convince every invalid (and
! to such only look for an impartial verdlcD that
its curatDe effects Incidentally superior TO those
of any other medicine now in use Proud OF this
superiority, scorn fictitious aid but give 1t TO
the world for what il is, SIMPLY compound OF
/ FOUR SIMPLE HERBS, used for the cure of dis
ease by THE COPPER COLORED WARRIORS
mi nua tIah HARRIS is pxn 10
rant, sudorific, one diuretic, and one cath
tic. The proper combination of the above forms a
medicine, of such EFFICACY and POWER as
has been hitherto unknown in The art OF healing
It's mode of curing is first TO neutralize all putrefa;-
tive matter in the body second to cause the ex
pulsnn of the same through tho proper outlets
provided by nature for that purpose consequently
its acton.is not confined to the bowels, although
it is greatest there, but extends 10 the nosrIls
throat saivial glands, lungs, shin and kidneys
Each Of tho above drains is intended by nature
for the charge of an excreton impurity pecu-
liar to itself, and although we may for 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 also from impurities OF the blood, but 1t is
also true That nature has provided many different
channels for the discharge of these impurities =
therefore are not likely TO benefit the patient
by tramphng on the laws oil nature in bringing all
the different kinds of excretory matter through one
channel hence the evil of attempting to cure all
Iphyscing, any other method which opens only
one class OF eXcreores.
No medicine deserves to be called Untoersat
pemedu unless its effects extend TO each and every
one oc tho natural drains and this power is not ev
EN- claimed by any medicine except the Indian Pur-
gative. In accordance with these several proper
ties the operation of the Indian Purgatve is regu
lated by the state OF the patients body. Thus, d
the obstructing matter is lodged in the urinal ex
cretores 1t will act as a diuretic il in the bronch
ia vessels pulmonary excretories, il will induce
expectoratiop; if in The cells of the cellular mem
brane or excreiories of the skin, gentle and efiec
tua perspiraion will be kept up; aud, under every
combination of circums tances, II will act more or
less as n caihartic. Here III proper TO remark
that although the purg1tve always induces an In
creased number of alvine excavations, and Is capa
bic of overcoming the most obstinate cases OF
costiveness, il does not raise "hurricane IN the
bowels nor waste the healthy juices by overaction
Is effects extend 10 every part of the system, and
for thai reason are not liable to oPeractlon in any
part.
No disease ever or ever will be cured unless
by medicines which produce the effects above men
toned. Every system of practice is more oil
less perfect, in proportion TO its power of acting on
the different excretories and the Indian system
claims pre-eminence only because i. possesses The
power Of opening, and keeping open all the natural
drains.
! The inestimubIe value of medicine which
will act on all the excretories, one and tho same
time is more apparent when we reflect that The hui
man body is complicated machine, consisting OF
numberess different and disiinc, members, all OF
which intimately connected, and mutually
dor endant that one part can be injured without
producing corresponding degree Of injury onev-
cry other part; therefore, one part OF the body
cannot be diseased, and another part healthy 3
neither part be cured while another par,
remains diseased Disease begins in The blood, aud
as the blood flows every part of the system, eve
ry part Of tho system must become more or less dis
ed no disease is cured unless the cause Is removed
and To remove the cause we must restore the booo
to healthy state, and if the blood is made healthy
every part of the body mast be the same
l. We have now illustrated tue natural or Indlar
system of practice and the more il is investigated
the more reasonable it Appeals /; as regards IT
truth we have onlyto reflect that il was taught b,
NATURE, and therefore must De true, When th'
body stands in need of nourishment, we are lmpel
led Ivy hunger lie cat and when il is diseased W.

: cannot be doubt that if lived in state OF ma
ture this instructive feeling would always direct u
to the PROPER MEDICINES hence the superior
