The only origin ality claim is in my peculiar mode of preparation. 1t is true, it has often been the wonder and of my medical brethren, the astonishing cures performed in cases that were considered not within the powc of medical aid. The whole mystery sisted in my using the medicine and this alone to the exclusion of all others, and of the correct principles upon which diseases ought to be treated. It will not however be matter of surprise that such wonderful success should follow the use of this medicine when state the principles upon which acted.
 The human body consists of solids and fluids. The former long structure is about one-fth. The lat ter soft part five sixths. Man is linked together by number of organs so beautifully to form per feet chain in the animal economy. One link of which when out of order or diseased is sufficient destroy the harmony of the whole. These organs furnish ed with inumerable blood vessels called arteries and veias which have T common centre. The heart for propelling through them the blood nuritive fluid to all parts of the sysem from the heart being furnished with valves which are all in direction, the blood can only flow in corresponding course. That 1t is forced by the heart into the areres and after moist ening the most minute ibrss, it is received by tine veins and brought again to the heart, and performs again the round of the body, and in succession. The of the blood, is to receive from the almenta y canal the skin lungs, such matters is necessary for the nourshment of man, and to convey to every part the body for the purpose ofreparng it's waste and increasing it's growth. But if any ef1ee, poson- foreign matter is carried into the blood several organs provided the iver, kidneys, skin and lungs through which this poison is discharged from the blood in the form of pile, urine, precipitation and pulmonary exhalation. From this brief sketch 6 mans formation, the intelligent reader easily derstand, how fever and inflammation is produced by the suppression of preparation, for if perspration be arrested in consequence of cold the perspirabe mat ter will mix with the blood and give rise to inaama- tion In like manner, ifthe discharge of bile be ar rested in it's flow from the liver it is taken into the circulation and gives rise to Jaundice, yellow fever, Sc. All diseases have therefore common origin, (not mpurity of blood, for that is only effect, but bi outlets or common sewers of the body, the bowels, skin and kidneys. A l.lsi l..ll.4-l is 4-'l ..al

During sleeps when your mental faculties are inactive, and your soul appears to be in state of repose, then is the wise provision and foreknowledge of the author of nature made manifest The heart continues to pour it's vital stream to every part of the bodythe lungs perform their ofce-respiration is continued, and the blood decarbonzed-the skin pours out from its myriads or pores the poisonous matter of the buod--dgestion continues, and the nutritive particulars of food is carried into the blood for tee renovation of man. Were all the organs of the body therefore, under the control of the will, when we sleep, the heart would cease to pulsate, death would necessary conse quence foow-the lungs would cease to perform their offce-suiiocation and death be the consequence, precipitation digestion be interrupted the effects which would be perpetual disease. Reader, you now know perhaps, better than you ey- knew before the vast importance of keeping these organs so necessary to life in healthy state.
