ADDRESS TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

climes Won may perhaps think it AN act Of emerty
in us TO offer, candidate for your tavor and pat
ronage "A Medicine which is strict AMERICAN
Common sense, however, teaches us, that those
herbs which spring spontaneously from our own
native soil must be better adapted to our c0nstltu-
lions than foreign medicines, however useful the
latter may have been in tie countries 10 which
-hey belong. The climate OF the United Saios
stands unrivaIcd for the production Of medicine

must depend on lis intrinsic merits, and not on The
time or manner Of It's discovery; cannoi sec the
use of fasiiying, for Tire purpose of Investigating
its origin with lilcclous antiquity. Such auSil-
iares are not needed on the present occasion, as
