| WWT HEREAS. il is now an absolute and well
! wv known fact, that every disease, whether
il be in the head or feet, in the brain or meanest
member, whether il be an outward ulcer or an
inward abscess. are all, though arising from many
causes, reducible 10 this one grand effect namely
impurty of the blood For on the healthy or un-
healthy condition Of the Stomach and Powels en-
tirely depends the rure or impure state OF the
blood, ard consequently the healthy or unhealthy
state Of The body
II hath been clearly proved in former advertise
ments that the stomach and bowels are the sover-
eigns Of the body, and that by them lie or deaii
is propelled 10 its remotest extren'i'es The head
with its master organ, the brain. being IN no wise
more distinguished than the foot in this particular.
How can we then deny the great and leading
truth, that there is reciprocal influence between
mind and body! The fact is evident-whetheI
the one is only modification Of The other will
always continue mystery in this state of exist
encc but our comfort, our repose, nay, even our
social and domestic happiness depends upon the
state Of our hillary and digestive organs-and the
mana cement and cure of the disorders OF the mind
must be made by application to the body.
II Werc we content TO follow nature, TO assist hei
in her manifest struggles, what mighty results
might she not effect : Every thing would arrange
itself in order it were Of course, aud the whole
work is half done soon as il be once undertake
EN-. 'Purge out the old leaven that you may
become new lump" is the language Of script
urc-a figure applied spiritually by some, but
how could it have any force unless sanctioned by
practical experience in the body Of matter? In
stinct, n more unerring guide than our much
boasled reasoning faculty, prompts the horse to
eat ihorns, lhistles, sc. &c. for the purpose OF
purgation. In like manner, the dog, the cat, and
III a h.,l.. ha
noticed, wander through the fields when cosive,
making selections Of those herbs which are suiia-
BILE to open their bowels and purify their fluids
DO we not observe that the ieathercd tribe, hose
stonachs act by mechanical force alone, without
the solvent fluid Of the gastric juice, require the
swalowing aud retaining Of stony particles in pro-
portion to their bulk, to promote digestion and
produce healthy tone in their fluids, by evacua-
tion'
These animals Of the brutal race, by thus as
ssting nature, secure themselves from epidemic
conta gion-ihough they are under similar laws ia
those which govern the human economy. Purga-
ton, which is n word Of equivalent value will
purication, appears then 10 be n Fundamental
principle Of nature. Are not the tides the daily
and periodical purifiers Of the ocean: Are moi
the ten,pests and tornadocs tho pursatves nnd
purifiers Of the air DO we not habitually re-
mark that if this principal Of commotion ceases
for a time TO operate, both water and air become
stagnant' And If the circulation Of thy blood, q
Man, should become languid, should the humors
accumulating in thy sluggish channels Of life, pre-
vent the healthy current, where is Thy remedy
They must be driven down by the bowels, OF il
not removed IN time, they will soon choke up the
veins, the arteries, and every passage Of health
and vigor.
| From such unqucslonabic facts a. these. tho
all important necessity of watching diligently tha
condition Of the stomach and bowels becomes
self evident and also the infinite value Of a me.
