ADDRESS THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Fellow CiliZens:-At II time like the present,
when our country is literally flooded with nosrums
brought from foreign climes, you may perhaps
think it act Of ,e,neriIy in us TO offer as can
dida,e for your favor and patronage, Medicine
which is strictly AMERICAN. Common sense,
however teaches us, that those herbs which spring
spon ianeousiy from our native sol must be better
adapted to our constitutions than foreign medicines
however useful the latter may have been VA the
countries which they belong The climate of the
United States stands unrvallcd for the production
of medicinal plants, and II very little investigation
will suffice to convince the most skeptIcai that our
country is able III supply all our wants, inte-
pendent of foreign assistance.
Deeply impressed with the importance Of the "a
bove mentioned facts ven tire 10 recommend the
INDIAN PURGATlVE to the patronage of our
fellow citizens in every section OF the Union, as n
natural remedy, applicable 10 constitutions, and
competent t" cure every durable disease
In ging medicine before the public for the
first time it Is generally thought necessary to i'm
press the people with idea of the difficulties en-
counlered in its discovery, or the antiquity al It's
origin thus tells US that his medicine is {" a
newly discovered chemical compound the result of
many wars intense study and scientific research'
and anoth ascrihes the honor to S0meb0dyS
Grandlathev, &c. Now, as the success Of med-
cine must depend on It's own intrinsic merits, aud
not on the time manner in which il was discov
cred we cannot see the of alsiiying for the
purpose of Investing it's origin with fictitious anti
guilty Such auxiliaries are not needed on the
present occasion as single dose oil the Indian fur
gallve will suffice To convince every invalid (and
To snch only look for an impartial verdict) that
It's curatioe effects Incidentally superior those
of any other medicine now in use. Proud of this
superiority, scorn fictitious aid, but give 1t to
the world for that il is, SIMPLY A compound OF
FOUR SIMPLE HERBS, used for the cure of dis
ease, bv THE COPPER COLORED WARRIORS
OF THE WEST. Que of the herbs is an expecto-
rant, one sudorfc, one duretc, and ii cath
tic The proper combination of the above forms a
medicine, of such EFFICACY and POWER as
has been hitherto unknown in The art of healing.
It's mode Of curing is first TO neutraliZe all puireac
tive matter in the body second TO cause the +.
pusion of the through the proper outlets,
provided by nature for thai purpose consequently
its action is not confined to the bowels although
it il grentest there, but extends to the nostrs,
throat, saliviai glands, lungs, shin and kidneys.
Each OF the above drains is intended by nature
for the discharge of an excretion impurty peCu-
liar To ITSELF aud although may for time com.
| pei the cons tuition 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 ali
Diseases :se from impurities oi the blood but ii is
also true that nature has provided many different
channels for the discharge of these impurities -
| thereto not likely to benefit the patient
BY ,rampIng the laws oi 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, vomiting, or
physicng, any other method which opens only
one class of excretoTies.
No medicine deserves to be called UaicersaL
Remedy unless its effects extend TO each and every
one of tho natural drains and this power il not ev-
en- claimed by any medicine except the Indian Pur.
gatve In accordance with these several proper
Ties the operation of the Indian Purgative il regn-
lated by the state Of the patients body. Thus if
the obstructing matter is lodgoI in the urina ex.
ial vessels pulmonary excretories, it will induce
expsstoraionI If in the cells Of the cellular NOM
