ADDRESS TO THE AMERl CAN PEOPLE.


in to ifer, as candidate for your tavor and pat
rnnage,a Medicine which is strictl AMERICAN
Common sense, however, teaches us, mat those
herbs which spring spontaneously from our o""
native SOIL, must he better adapted to our cohs'u
tons Than foreign medicines, however uSei"i .he
latter may, have been in The countries to winch
hey belong. The climate Of the United Statos
stands unrivalled for the production OF medicine
plants, and very little investigation Will suihce as
convince the most skeptca that our oSch coun'fyol

0rcisn assistance.
Deeply impressed with the Importance OF The
above facts, we venture to reconmondthe iNDLfN
PtRGiiTiE 10 the patronage OF our fellow cit
Zrns III every section Of the country, as natura-
remedy, appl cable to our constitutions, and conipe-
tent To the care of every durable disease.
In brir 81 9 "A medicine before The public Tor the
first time, il is generally thought necessary 10 i'm
press the people with idea of the difficulties en-
countcred in It's discovery or tie antiquity Oh It's
origin; II Us one tells that his medicine is
newly discovered chemical compound tic rcsuof

FATHLR, Sc. Now ms the success If medicine
must dcnend on its intrinsic merits and not On III
time or manner of its discovery; we cannot see the
nsc of fasiiying, for the purpose of investigating
its origin wiih Ecticons antiquity. Such auxll'
iaries not needed on the present occassoI, ms
single dose Of the Indian Pnrgativr will suffice to
for impartial vcrdcD that lis curative effects are in
calcaably superior 10 those ofanv other medicine
now in use Proud this superiority, We scorn
iecticious aid but give if TO the world for what Is
SIMPLY compound OF FouR SIMPLE HERS, used
for the cure ofdiscasco by the COPPER COLOR.

herds is an expecorant ono n sodorfc, one dur
attic, and catllartic. The proper combination .
the above forms an antputrcsent and de"bstruenl
medicine, of such efficacy and power as has been
hitherto unknown in the arr of healing. Its mode
cf caring is first to ncurae exc all putrclacyn mat
Ter in the body second to cause the expulsion q
the same through the proper outlets prnoidcd by

is true that all diseases arise from impurities OF tie
blood, but it is also true that nature has provided
many channels for the discharge 81 these impure

to cure all diseases by course of sweating, or ply
