ADDRESS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Fellow Citizcns:-At n time like the present.
when country is literally flooded with nostrums
brought from foreign chimes, you may perhaps
think il an act OF temerily in US TO offer as can
dida,e for your favor and patronage, Medicine
which is strictly AMERICAN Common sense,
however teaches us, that thqse herbs which spring
spontaneously from our native SOIL must be Deter
adapted to our constitutions than oreign medicines
however useful the latter may have been IN the
countries to which they belong The climate OF tho
United States stands unrivalled for the production
OF medicinal plants and very little Investigation
will suffice convince the most skePtical that our
oaon country is able 10 supply all our wants, inde-
pendent OF foreign assistance
Deeply impressed with the importance of the n
bOve mentioned facts venture 10 recommend the
INDIAN PURGATlVE TO the patronage of our
fellow citizens in every section of the UnIon, as a
natural remedy, applicable 10 our constitutions and
competent to cure every curabe disease.
In bringing n medicine before the public Tor the
first tune it is generally thought necessary To i'm.
press the people with idea Of the difficulties en-
counlered in lis discovery, or The antiquity al lis
origin thus one tells us that his medicine is " a
newly discovered chemical compound the result OF
many years intense study and scientific research;
and another ascrbes the honor to somebody's
Grandfather &c Now, as the success of medl-
cine must depend on ats own intrinsic merits, and
not on the time in which il was discov-
cred, we cannot the of talsitying, for the
purpose of Investing its origin with fictitious anti
guilty. Such auxiiaries 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 verdict) that
lis cur0tice effects are Incidentally superior TO those
of any other medicine now in use. Proud of this
superiority, we scorn fictitious aid but give 1t To
the world for what it is, SIMPLY A compound OF
FOUR SIMPLE HERBS, used for the cure Of dis
ease, bv THE COPPER COLORED WARRIORS
OF THE WEST. One of tho herbs is an expecto-
rant, one sudorifc, diuretic, and one cath
tic. The proper combination of the above forms
medicine of such EFFICACY and POWER as
has been hitherto unknown in The art of healing
It's mode Of curing is frs, TO neuraze all putreia
tive matter in the body second TO cause the
pusion of the same through tho 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 nosrils,
throat, salivial glands, lungs, shin and kidneys.
Each Of tho above drains is intended by nature
for the disc hargc of excretion or impurlty peCu
liar to itself, and although 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 Use from impurities OF the blood but it
also true that nature has provided many different
channels for the discharge Of these impurities -
therefore not likely to benefit the patien,
by trampllng 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
diseases by u OF sweating, vomiting, or
physicing, or any other method which opens only
oAA class of eXcretulies.
No medicine deserves to be called Unioersai
Remedy unless its effects extend to each and every
of the natural drains and this power is not
en- claimed by any medicine except the Indian Pur-
gative In accordance with these several proper
iies the operation of the Indian Purga,ive is regu-
lated by the state of the patients body. Thus, if
the obstructing matter is lodged in the urinal ex.
cretories, twill act diuretic il in the bronch
ia vessels pulmonary excretories it will induce
expeetoration if in the cells of the cellular mem
brane excretores of the skin, gentle and efiec
tual perspration will be kept up and, under every
combination of circums tances, it will act more or
less as cathartic Here il is proper to remark
that although the purgative always induces an IN :
creased number of alvne excavations, and is capa.
BILE of overcoming the most obstinate cases of
costiveness, il does not raise "hurrcane'' in the
bowels, nor waste the healthy juices by overactlon
It's effects extend TO every part Of the system and
for that reason are not liable to oyeraction in any
part.
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 excretores; and the Indian system
claims pre- -eminence only because il possesses the
power Of opening, and keeping open all the natural
drains.
The nestimable value of medicine which
will act all the excreories, one and the same
time, is apparent when we reflect that the hu-
man body is complicated machine, consisting of
numberless different and distinct members, ali of
which are intimately connected, and mutually
dependant that no one part can be injured without
producing corresponding degree of injury on ev-
cry other part therefore, part OF the body
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
ry part of the system must become more or less dis
ed no disease is cured unless the cause is removed
and to remove the must restore the blood
to healthy state, and if the blood is made healthy
every part Of the body mast BE- the same.
