ADDRESS TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Fellow Citizens:-At a time like the present.
when country is literally flooded with nostrums
brought from foreign chimes, you may perhaps
think it an act of temerty in 10 offer as can
didaie for your favoor and patrnage, Medicine
which is strictly AMERICAN. Common sense,
however, teaches us, that those he which spring
ontnneously from our native soil must be better
adapted to our constitutions than foreign medicines
however useful the latter may have been in the
countries to which they belong. The climate of the
United States stands unrivalled for the production
OF medicinal plants, and very little investigation
will suffice to convince tho most slcptcal that
oaon country is able 10 supply all our wants, indie
pendent of foreign assistance.
Deeply impressed with the importance of the a.
bove mentioned facts we venture to recommend the
INDIAN PURGATlVE to the patronage Of our
fellow citizens in every section of the Union, as n
natural remedy applicable to our constitutions, and
competent to cure every durable disease.
In bringing medicine before the public for the
first time, it Is generally thought necessary to i'm
press the people with an idea of the difficulties
countered in its discovery. or the onti0uu of It's
origin thus one tells 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 someJodys
Grandfather, DC. Now, the success of medi-
cine must depend on Its own intrinsic merits, and
not on the time in which it was dscov-
cred, we cannot see the of falsifying, for the
purpose of investing lis c.isin with fictitious anti
auity. Sucn auA,, ,...es are not needed the
present occasion, single dose of the Indian Pur
gative will suffice to convince every invalid (and
to such only we look for an impartial verdcD that
its carane effects are intellectually superior TO those
of ann other medicine now in use. Proud of this
superiority, 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, by THE COPPER COLORED WARRIORS
OF THE WEST. One Of the herbs is an expecto-
rant, one sudorhc, one diuretc, and cath
tic The proper combination of the above forms
incidence of such EFFICACY and POWER as
has been hitherto unknown in The art of healing
Its mode Of curing is first to neutraze all purefac-
tive matter i'll the body second to cause the
pulsion of the same through the proper outlets,
provided by nature for that purpose consequently
its action is not confined to tho bowels, although
it is greatest there, but extends to the nostris,
throat, salivial glands lungs, shin and kidneys.
Each of the above drains is intended by nature
for the discharge of excretion or impurity pecu-
liar to ITSELF and although may for a 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 a:se 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 are not likely to benefit the patient
by trampling the laws oil nature in bringing all
the different kinds Of excreory matter through one
channel hence the evil of attempting to cure all
diseases by course of sweating, or vomiting, or
physicing, or any other method which opens only
one class of excretories.
No medicine deserves to be called DnigerSaL
Remedy unless its effects extend TO each and every
one of the natural drains and this power is not
en- claimed by any medicine except the Indian Pur-
gatve. In accordance with these several proper
ties the operation Of the Indian Purgative is regu
lated by the state of the patients body. Thus if
the obstructing matter is lodged in the urina ex.
cretories, 1t will diuretic ifin the bronch-
ial vessels or pulmonary excretories, it will induce
expectoraton; if in the cells of the cellular men,
fnrin Of fhn obj Sla
tual perspraton will be kept up; and, under every
combination of circums tances, it will act more or
less as cathartic Here tits proper to remark,
