ed with nostrunis brought from foreign chimes,
you may perhaps think il an act Of temerity in
| us to offer. rs candidate for your favor and
patronage, a Medicine which is strictly AMER
IcAN. Common sense, however teaches us,
that those herbs which spring spontaneously
from our native soil, must be better adapted TO
our constitutions than foreign medicines, how
ever useful the latter may have been in the
counties 10 which they belong. The climate
OF the United States stands unriynlled for the
production of medicinal plants, and very little
/ investigation will suffice To convince the most
skeptical that our otrn country is able 10 sup
ply all our wants, independent Of foreign as
sistance.
In bringing a medicine before the public for
the first time, 1t IS generally thought necessary
10 impress the people with an itlea OF the diff
cuities encountered in its discovery, or The am
tiquiiy of lis origin; thus one tells US that his
medicine is "a a neoiy discovered chemical
compound, the result Of many years inienss
study and scientific researck;" and another
ascribes the honor 10 somebody's GRAsDrA-
TIER, &c. Now, as the succrss ola medicine
must depend on lis own intrinsic merits, and
not on the time OF manner in which IL was dis
covered we cannot see the use of classifying, for
the purpose Of investing It's origin with ficti-
tous antiquity. Such auxiliaries are not need
ed on the present occasion, as single dose OF
the Indian PufRatve will suffice 10 convince
every invalid (and TO such only we look for an
impartial verdicf) that IFS curGtire effects are
intellectually superior 10 those 81 any Other med
icine now IN use. Proud Of this superiority,
we scorn fictitious aid, but give il to the world
! for what il is,SiPMLY A compound Of FOUR
SIMPLE HERBS, used for the cure of dis
ease, by THE COPPER COLORED WAR
RiORS OF THE WEST. One of the herbs
is an erpeeforGni, one swdorife, one dit-
r'efie, and one eofhortie. The proper com
binaton Of the above forms medicine, Of such
EFFICACY and POWER as has been hith-
erto unknown ia the art Of healing. Its mode
OF curing is first to neutralize all putreisctivs
matter in the body; second to cause the expul-
sion OF the same through the proper outlets,
provided by nature for that purpose; conse-
quently its action is not confined TO the bowels,
although il Is creates; there, but extends TO the
nostrils, throat, saival glands, lungs skin and
kidneys.
Each ofthe above drains Is intended By ID.
! ture for the discharge Of IN excretion or impu-
rity Peculiar TO itself, and although we may for
time compel the constitution to evacuaie the
whole through one drain, such treatment can
not fail % derange the mechanism of the oody,
and utterly ruin the health ofihc patient. II
is true that all diseases arise from impurities Of
the blood, bal II is also true that nature has
provided many different channels for the dis
charge Of these impurities; therefore we are
on the laws of nature, in bringing all the dii-
ferent kinds of excretory matter through one
channel; hence the evil oi attempting 20 cure
all diseases by course of sweating, or vonit
ing, or physicing, or any other method which
opens only one class OF excretories.
No medicine deserves To be called Unirer-
sal Remedy unless its effects extend to each and
every one of the natural drains, and this pow
er Is not even claimed by any medicine except
the Indian Purgative. In accordance with
these several properties, the operation of the
Indian PUrgRtive is regulated by the state of
the patients bdy. Thus, if the obstructing
matter IS lodged in the urinal excreiories 1t
viii act as a diuretic: If in the bronchial YES
sells or pulmonary excretories, il will induce cx-
pectoration; lin the cells Of the cellular mem
bIane or excretoTes of the skin, gentle and ef
irctual persliration will he kept up; and, under
every combination OF circumstances, IL will oct
more or less as a cathartic. Here il is proper
10 remark, that although the purgaiive always
induces an Increased number OF alyine evacua
lions, and is capable of overcoming the most
obstinate cases OF cosiiveness, il does not raise
hurricane" in the bowels, nor waste tho
healthy juices by over-action. Its effects ex
tend TO every part Of the system, and for that
reason are not liable TO over action in apy mart.
The incstimable value of a medicine which
VIII act on all the excretories, at one and the
same time, is more apparent when we reflect
e'"' 'he huulun bouy Is complicated machine.
consisting of numberess different and distinct
members, all Of which are 50 Intimately con-
necled, and mutually descendant, that no one
part, can be injured without producing cor
responding degree of injury on every other
part; therefore, one part of the body cannot he
diseased, and another part healthy; neither can
one part be cured while another part remains
diseased. Disease begins in the blood. md "a
the blood flows to every part OF the system.
every part OF the system must become more or
less diseased; no disease is cured unless The
cause Is removed, and 10 remove the cause we
must restore the blood 10 a healthy state. and
y the blood is made healthy, every part ofaie
body musi be The same.
:. we have now illustrated the natural or IN
dlan system Of pacice, and the more Il Is in
vesugated the more reasonable il appeafs. IA
regards It's truth, we have onlyt 10 reilectthatit
was Taught by NATURE, and iherefsre snuSf Be-
true. When the body stands in need Of nopr
'shment, we are impelled by hunger 10 eat; and
when u IS diseased, we are impeed by instinct
to use medicine; and there cannot be Doubt
That y We lived in state of nature this, ill.,
s SUI. feeling would always ditsct Us to,the
PkUpEk MEDICINE: hence the SUPERIOR
" OF the Indian System. The art Of healing
was FIRST learned in the woods, and 10 ihisiay
the untutored savage is the hest mcdicaEteack-
cr; Tor the Indian practice is the only one which
Is consonant to those eternal and immutabe
laws which govern the animal economy.
