guilty. Such auxilIares are not needed on the
present occasion, single dose Of the Indian Pur-
gative will suffice to convince every invalid (and
to such only look for an impartial verdic) that
its curat0e effects are intellectually superior 10 those
of any other medicine now in use. Proud of this
superiority, we scorn fictitious aid, but give it to
the world for what il is, SIMPLY A compound of
FOUR SIMPLE HERBS, used for the cure of dis
ease, by THE COPPER COLORED WARRIORS
OF THE WEST. One of the herbs is an expecto-
rant, one sudorifc, one diuretic, and a cath
tic. The proper combination of the above forms

tive matter in the body second to cause the ex.
pulson of the same through the proper outlets,
provided by nature for that purpose consequently
its action is not confined to the bowels, although
it is greatest there, but extends to the nosriIs
throat salivial glands, lungs, shin and kidneys.
Each of the above drains is intended by nature
for the discharge of excretion 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
deraDge 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
therefore we not likely to benefit the patient
by tramping on the laws OF nature in bringing all
the different kinds of excretory matter through
channel hence the evil of attempting to cure all
diseases by course OF sweating, or vomiting,
| physicing, any other method which opens only
one class of excretores.
| No medicine deserves to be called UniUerSdL
Remedy unless its effects extend to each and every
of the natural drains and this power is not ev-
! en- claimed by any medicine except the Indian Pur-
gave. In accordance with these several proper.
ties, the operation of the Indian Purgative regu.

that although the purgrtive always induces an IN

bio of overcoming the most obstinate cases of

bowels, nor waste the healthy juices by overacon.
Its effects extend 10 every part of the system, and

No disease ever was or ever will be cured unless
by medicines which produce the effects above men,
toned. Every system of practice is more or
less perfect, in proportion to its power of acting on
the different excretories and the Indian system
claims pre-emineuce only because it possesses the
power OF opening, and keeping open all the natural
drains.
will act on all the excretories, at one and the same
time, is more apparent when reflect that the hu-
man body is a complicated machine, consisting of
numberless different and distinct members, all of
which are SO intimately connected, and mutually
ependant, that no part can be injured without
producing corresponding degree of injury on ev-
cry Otncr part therefore, one part OF tne DOQy
| cannot be diseased, and another part healthy -
neither can one part be cured while another part
remains diseased Disease begins in the blood, and
as the blood flows to every part of the system eve
ny part OF the system must become more or less dis
ed no disease is cured unless the cause is removed
and to remove the cause must restore the blood
to healthy state, and if the blood is made healthy
every part Of the body mast be the same.
We have now illustrated the natural or Indian
system of practice, and the more it is investigated
the more reasonable it appears as regards its
truth, we have only TO reflect that it was taught by
NATURE, and therefore must be true. When the
body stands in need of nourshment we are impel-
led by hunger tie eat and when it is diseased, we
are impelled by instinct to medicine and there
cannot be doubt that if we lived in state of ma
ture this instructive feeling would always direct
TO the PROPER MEDICINE hence the superior
ity OF the Indian System. The art of healing was
first learned in the woods, and to this day the best
medical teacher for the Indian practice is the only
one which is consonant to those eternal and immu-
table laws which govern the animal economy.
Having already proved that the Indian Purgative
acts in direct accordance with the LAWS OF MA
TURE and is therefore equal to the cure Of eoe,y
durable aiscaSe, will now enumerate few of
the complaints for which it has been tried, and
found certain cure among the Indians ana Wnl'e
settlers of the Far West. These are Intermittent,
Remtent, Nervous, inflammation of this Brain, of
the Throat, of the Stomach, of the Lungs, of the
Liver, of the Inestines, the Kidneys, and the Bad
der; Rheumatism, both Acute and Chronic, Spit.
ting and Vomiting of Blood DiarrhGa, Dysenterys
and Coles; Syncope, Apoplexy, and Paralysis;
Dyspepsia and Hypochondriasis; 'tetanus Epliep-
sy, Hooping Cough, Asthma and Palpitation of the
heart, Incpent Consumption, and Marasmus; Drop
sy ofthe Head, the Chest, the Abdomen and the
Limbs; Scrofua, Scurvy, and Syphilis; Broncho-
cele and Cancer, Gravel and Strangury, Loss Of APP
petite, Costiveness, Sick headache, Flatulency,
pains in the Stomach, pains in the Back and Side,
and other complaints of the Kidneys and Liver,
Ulcers and sores ofevery description; Hystericks;
Weak Nerves and Lowness of Spirits, as we'll as
Leucorrhoea, Menorrhoea Suppression and other
delicate female complaints. Besides the above, it
has been found invaluable in the diseases of in.
fants, so that in the new settlements of the Far
West, where the inhabitants keep 1t constantly be-
side them, the children brought up in good
health, without any assistance from Medical men.
To sum up the character of the Indian Purgative in
few Words it is only necessary to state, that it pos
sed by medicine, viz. the power of opening and
keeping open all the natural drains ofthe body; g.
sesses every curative property that be possess
therefore, if persevered with reasonable time
