" known fact, that every disease. whether
il be in tho head or feet. in the brain or meanesi
member, whether il bo an outward ulcer or an
inward abscess, are all, though arising from many
causes, reducible to this one grand efiect, namely
impurty Of the blood. For on the healthy or un-
healthy condition Of the Stomach and Bowels en-
tirely depends the pure or impure state OF the
blood. and consequently the healthy or unhealthy
state of the body
II hath been clearly proved in former advertise
ments that the stomach and bowels are the sovor-
eigns Of the body, and that by them life or death
is propelled TO its Temotest extrenities, the head
with its master organ, the brain, being In no wise
more distinguished than the foot in this particular
How can we then deny the great and leading
truth, that there is u reciprocal influence between
mind and body! The fact is evident whether
the one is only a modification Of the other will
always continue mystery in this state Of oxist-
encc but our comfort, our repose, nay, even our
social and domestic happiness depends upon the
state Of our hillary and digestive organs-and the
man agement and cure Of the disorders OF tho mind
must be made by application to the body.
Were we content 10 follow nature, to assist her
in her manifest struggles, what mighty results
might she not effect , Every thing would arrange

stinct, a more unerring guide than our much
boasted reasoning faculty, prompts the horse to
eat thorns, ihistles, SC. sc. for tho purpose OF
purgation. In like manner, the dog, the cat, and
all our domestic animals, whose habits can be
noticed, wander through the fields when costlve,
making selections of those herbs which are suiia-

Do we not observe that the feathercd tribe, whose
sto,nachs act by mechanical force alone, without
the solvent fluid Of the gastric juice, require the
swallowing and retaining Of stony PARTICLES in pro.
portion TO their bulk, TO promote digestion and
produce a healthy tone in their fluids, by evacua-
ton!
These animals Of the brutal race, by thus as.
sisting nature, secure themselves from epidemic
contas asion-ihough they are under similar laws TO
those which govern the human economy. Purga-
ton, which is a word Of equivalent value with
publication, appears then to be a fundamental
principle Of nature. Are not the tides the daily
and periodical purifiers Of the ocean: Are not

From such unquestionable facts as these. tho

condition Of the stomach and bowels becomes
sclc- evident aud also the infinite value Of me-

TEN, and such a one is-Brandeth's Vegetable
Universal Pills, which in England and America
have stood the test Of triu, and have performed
cures upon thousands OF helpless PERSONS after the
usual scientific skill Of physicians had consoled
them with the assurance that they could do NO
more. Their properties as an ambitious and
aberient medicine are unrivalled all who use,
recommend them their virtues surpass all eulo'
gy, and must be used to be appreciated. The
weak and delicate will be strengthened by theiI
use, not by bracing, but by removing the cause
Of weakness, the gross and corrupt humors Of the
body. They require no change in diet or care o
any kind. Plain directions accompany each box
so that every one is his own competent physician
