 l My compound Extract of Sarsaparilla, Liverwort l Pleurisy Root and Lignum Vita is the result of this long experience, and the medicine of m hours consideration, merely got up for humbug deception. Upon the responsibility of my medical testimonials my great medical practitioner, and the sal utary and beneficial effects of my medicine stand or fall seek not to deceive the public with an ar ticle of whose component parts they are pnorant-- 1 What do the public know of the poisonous and de- stractye ingredients contained in the various pills and panaceas advertised throughout the Union2 The pro pretors of such medicines known too well if the pub lie aware that out of every ten pills they have swallowed, eight of them arc Mercarv their trafle | was end. have analysed most of the pills and other medicines advertised throughout the Union and found them to contain either corrosice snJlinate or Cal0mel.

 The human body cosists of solids and fluids The former or long structure is about one 6ffh- The latter or soft part five .sxths. Man is linked to-. l gether by number of organs so beautifully arrane. ed as to form perfect chain in the animal economy One link of which when outof order is sutHe;en, io destroy ihe harmony of the whole. These organs are furnished with inn;merabe blood vessels called arteries and veins, which have common centre.- The heart for propeiling through them the blood or nutrilive fluid to all parts of the system -he- | ing furnished with valves which are all m one di- reciion, tho blJoJ ouy flow in u corresnondi no course Thus it is forced by the heart into the arte ries, and after moistening the most minute ibres it is received by the veins and brought again to the ea und performs again the round ofthe body and so on | in succession.

 Reader, did you but know how fearfuly and won. derllly you are econstructed-how beanlilullyhe Gre tor of the universe has provided for your preserva- | ton and existence, independent of your will then in. deed would your admiration of the perfection of his | mighty hand work never cease. During sleep when your mental faculties inactive, and your soul ap pears to be in of repose, then is the wise pro- vision and fore knowledge ofthe author ofnature made malfest. The heart continues tO pour it's vital stream to every part of the body-the lungs perform their oice-respiration is continued and the blood decarbonized-the skin pours out from it's myriads of pores the poisonous matter of the blood-diees- ton continues and the nuritive particles of food are carried into the blood for the renovation of man. Were all the organs of the body therefore under the l control of the will, when slept, the heart would cease to pusate. death would necessary conse- | quenee follow-the lungs would cease to perform their oce-suilocation and death be the consequence or perspiraton digestion be interrupted the effects of which would be perpetual disease.

No human power can | ever again set il i'll motion.
