What do the public know of the poisonous and de- structyc ingredients contained in the varlous pills and panaceas advertised throughout the Unlon :! The proprietors Of such medicines know too well 1t the public were aware, that out ot every ten pills they have swallowed, eight of them are Mercury, thelr trade was at an end. l have analized most of the pills, and other medicines advertised throughout the tmon and found them to contain, either corrosire S- H,nate or Caion,ei. The reason is then obvious why these base nposters will tell the component parts uf their medicines. They pretend that they have dis covered the philosophers stone, and that you may live through countless ages, if you but swallow their medicine. 1 practice no such deception My med- cine has stood the test of years-t is recommended by the eminent of the medical faculty, and what is of more importance than all, candidly and hon estly confess that my medicine IS n combination of .SarSapauHi, L're,oot, Picurisy Rot, L'gaam Vaa, anl one two other ingredients. The only origin ality claim is in my peculiar mode of preparation. It is true, it has often been the wonder and aiaze- memt of my medical brethren, the astonishing cures performed in cases that were considered not within the pow. of medical aid. The whole mystery con sisted in my usng 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 of tins medicine, when 1 state the principles upon which ac'ed
 The human body consists of solids and fluids. The former long structure is about one-hith. The lat ter or soft part five sixths. Man is linked together hy a number of organs beautifully AS to form per- feet chain in the animal economy One link of which when out of order diseased s sufficient to destroy the harmony of the wlule. Iheas organs are furnish ed with numerable blood vessels called arteries and veins, which have common centre. The heart for propelling through them the blood nutritse fluid to all parts of the system, from the heart being furnished with valves which are all in one direction, the blood can only flow in corresponding course. That it Is forced by the heart into the arteries, and after moist ti,o a.aIh veins and brought again the heart, and performs again the round of the body, and in succession. The of the blood, is to receive from the aliinenta " canal the ski lungs, such matters as IS necessary for the nourlshment of man, and to convey to every part of the body r the purpose ofreparing it's waste, and increasing it's growth. But if any efete, poison- ous foreign is carried into the blood several organs are provided the Huer, kidnsys, shna and lungs through which this poison is discharged from the bood in the form of pile urine, precipitation and pulmonary exhaation. From this brisf sketch mans formation, the intelligent reader easily derstand, how fever and inflammation is produced by the suppression m persplaton, for Il perspiraton be arrested in consequence oi cold, the persprble mat ter will mix with the blood and give to iniama- tion. In like manner, if the discharge of bile he rested m it's flow from the liver il is taken into the circulation and gives rise to Jaundice, yellow fever, &c Ali diseases have therefore common origin, (nut ilnpurity of blna, for that is only eec,) bu in the obstruction of other of those three great outlets or common oi the body, the bowels, skin and kidneys.
 Reader, did you bu, know how fea, fully and woun, derfuy you are constructed-low beautifully the Creator of the universe has provided for your pre- servation and existence, independent of your will, then indeed would your admiration of the perfection of his mighty handiwork cease. During sleep, when ya,lr mental faculties inactive, am, your sou appears to be in state of repose, then is the wise provision and f,rcknowledge of the author of nature made manifest. The heart continues pour its vital stream to every part of the body-the lungs perform their oihce-respiration is continued, and the blood decaibonized-tie skin pours out from its myriads pores the poisonous matter of the bood-digestiOn continues and the nutritiye 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 sleep, the heart would cease to pulsate, death would necessary conse- quence toow-the lungs would cease to perform their oice-suilocation ana death be the consequence, or precipitation digestion be interrupted the effects or which would be perpetual disease.
 Reader, you now know perhaps, better than you ev- knew before the vast importance of keeping these organs necessary to life in healthy state. You will also place less reliance on the pretensOns of i9 norant and uneducated men, especially when they tempt to medle with diseases they know nothing of You will likewise appreciate the services of the skill ful medical practitioner, who has abOred for IS years in the study of science through all it's Innutia, and who offers for your benefit the result of his long and arduous labors. l ask if you possessed watch of five dollars value, and it out of repair, would you take it to tinker to have it set in order No you would surely bring it to good watch-lnaker.- How much difficult then is the putting in order of the human body when out of repair. A watch may stop, it can be set going again-if mans mach nery stops, it stops forever. No human power can ever again set 1t ih inotion

Sickness therefore cannot ulless other of those outlets obslructed, except in disease dependent upon a SD sc contayion, such as sliapo measles, yenerea N. and these diseases only cured by in creasing the natural secreions When you labor ui- der disease, matter of what nature, whether malig nant or otherwise, and you take Calomel from a physician, does he not always ask you, are your bow els free-is perspra..on freeis the secretion ofurine abundant-or, il you have pain, what 1 ask you those enquiries but merely to ascertain if the secre- tions duly performed.
