The reason is then obvious why
 these base mposters will not tell the component parts of 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. l practice no such deception My medi- cine has stood the test of yearsit Is recommended by the most eminent of the medical faculty and what Is of more importance than all, candldIy aud hon estly confess that my medicine is a combination of
 SarsapariLa Lreriout, Pieurisy Root, Lignum Fitd, aud one or two other ingredients. The only origin ality claim is in my peculiar mode of preparation. 1t is true, it has often been the wonder and amaze Inent of my medical brethren, the astonishing cures performed in cases that were considered not within the powe of medical aid. The whole mystery con sisted in my usIng the medicine, and this alone to the exclusion of all others, aad of the correct principles upon which diseases ought to be treated. It will not however be matter oi surprise that such wonderful success should follow the of this medicine, when l state the principles upon which l acted.
 The human body consists of solids and fluids. The former oi long structure is about one-ffth The lat ter or soft part five sxths Man is linked together by number of organs so beautifully as to form per- feet chain in the animal economy. One link of which when out of order diseased IS sufficient to destroy the harmony of the whole These organs furnish ed with numerable blood vessels called arteries and veins, which have T common centre. The heart for propeng through them the blood nutritive fluid to

But if any efiete, poison foreign matter is carried into the blood several organs are provided as the iuer, kidneys, Skn 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 or mans formation, the intelligent reader can easily derstand, how fever and inflammation is produced by the suppression of perspaton, for fl perspraion be arrested in consequence of cold the perspirabe mat ter will mix with the blood and give rise to inama- ton. In like manner, if the discharge of bile be rested in it's flow from the liver 1t Is taken into the circulation and gives rise to Jaundice, yellow fever, &c. All diseases have therefore one commoaorigin, (not mpurity of blood for that is only eiect) but in the obstruction of other of those three great OutttS Oi Cohlsoh sCNcioNo UT uO DoNJ1 t'o coNSio5 skin and kidneys. . #8s,.,3 s.. .4
 Reader did you but know how feal fully and woun- derfuly you are constructed-how beautifully the Creator of the universe has provided for your pre- seryation and existence, independent of your will then indeed would your admiration of the perfection of his mighty handiwork never cease. During sleep, when ynnr mental faculties are inactive, and your soul appears to be in state of repose, then is the wise provision and foreknowIedge of the author of made manifest. The heart continues to pour its vital stream to every part of the body-the lungs perform their ofice--respiration is continued, and the blood decarbonized--tsc skin pours out from it's myrads pores the poisonous matter of the bood-digestion continues and the nurtive particulars of our 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 pusate, death would as necessary conse- quence follow-the lungs would cease to perform their office-sufocation and death be the consequence, digestion be interrupted, the effects which would be perpetual disease
 Reader, you now know perhaps, better than you ev- CT knew before the vast importance of keeping these organs so necessary to life in healthy state. You will also place less reliance the pretensions of ig norant and uneducated men, especially when they at tempt to medde with diseases they know nothing of You will likewise appreciate the services of the skill full medical practitioner, who has abored for IS years in the study of a science through all its mnutia and
 
 and arduous labols. ask if you possessed watch of five dollars value, and it was out of repair, would you take it to tinker to have it set in order No you would surely bring 1t to a good watch-naker.- How much more difficult then is the putting in order of the human body when out ofrepair. watch may stop, it can be set going again-f man smach nery once stops, it stops forever No human power can ever again set 1t in motion
 You may always expect fever and -health to follow the stoppage of any of the secreons. If we except says Van Swiente, those who perish violent death, and such as are exngushed by old age, all the rest die of inflammation, caused by suppression of one or the other of the secretions. Pny describes the terror the Romans had of this disease, ,and of their applications in the Temple of Faunum for the removal of all obsuc lions to the natural outlets of the body. Sickness cannot occur unless other of those outlets a obstructed, except in disease dependent upon SD viic contagion, such sall-poX, measles, yenerea N. and these diseases only cured by in creasing the natural secie10us. When you labor un- der disease no matter of what nature, whether malig aant or otherwise, aud you take Calome from a physician, does he not always ask you your bow els freeis precipitation ee-is the secretion ofurine abundant-or, if you have paia, what l askyou are those enquires but merely to ascertain If the tions are duly performed. If they well perform l. then your doctor is puzzled to the nature oi your disease Ifhey are not duly performed, he then removes any obstruction. This is the great secret of our profession and thus define reputation when we only assist nature in restoring the natural secre- tions the great difficulty in the practice of medicines was the proper application of combination of nedi- cinal articles calculated to remove obstructons, and act at the same time upoall the secretions! There are many valuable articles in the materia medca that will act upon the liver if administered alone, but when combined with others to act upon the kidneys, they become neutrazed.
