Noih- ing but the interpretation of Providence can save le Lives of those persons who day after day tanpcr Wlh the poisonous and deadly compounds blazoned forth to the world through the public press by lgnnrent men who have abandoned some other calling, and assumed the title of doctor, without having ever received the

 Upon the responsibility of my medical testimonials
 my great success medical practitioner, and the sauiary and beneficial effects of my medicine stand or fall. l seek not deceive the public with tcle of whose component parts they are ignorant. What do the public know of the poisonous and de- strucive ingredients contained in the various pills and panaceas advertised throughout the Union The proprietors of such medicines know too well if the public were aware, that out of every ten pills they have swallowed, eight of them Mercury, their trade was at an end l have anazed most of the pills and other medicines advertised throughout the Union and found them to contan either corrosiu Sb Innate or Calomi. 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 years-it is recommended by the most eminent of the medical faculty and what is of more importance than all, candidly and hon esty confess that my medicine is a combination of SarsapaYiila, Liue1oort PieuriSy Root, Lignum Vna and one two other ingredients. The only origin ality claim is in my peculiar mode of preparation. It is true, has often been the wonder and amaze ment of my medical brethren, the astonishing cures performed in 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, and of the principles upon which diseases ought to be treated. It will not however be matter of surprise that such wonderful success should follow the of this medcine when l state the principles upon which acted.
 The human body consists of solids and fluids The former long structure is about one-ffth. The lat ter or soft part five sixths. Man is linked together by a number of organs beautifully to form per feet chain in the animal economy. One link of which when of order diseased Is sufficient to destroy the harmony of the whole. These organs are furnish ed with inumerable blood vessels called arteries and veins, which have T common centre. The heart for propelng through them the blood or nuritive fluid to all parts of the system, from the heart being furnished with valves which all in one direction, the blood can only flow in corresponding That it is forced by the heart into the arteries, and after moist enng the most minute flores, it is received by tine veins and brought again to the heart and performs again the round of the body and m succession. The use of the blood, receive from the alenta- ny canal the skin lungs such matters is necessary for the nourishmen of man. and to to every part of the body for the purpose ofreparng it's waste, and increasing its growth. But if any efiete, poison- foreign matter is carried into the blood several organs provided the iper, 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 or mans formation, the intelligent reader can easily derstand, how fever and inflammation is produced by the suppression of preparation, for if perspration be arrested in consequence of cold, the perspirabe ter will mix with the blood and give rise to infana- tion. In like manner, if the discharge of bile be ar rested in it's flow from the liver it is taken into the circulation and gives rise to Jaundce, yellow fever, &c. All diseases have therefore one common origin, (not impurty of bood for that is only an efect) but in the obstruction of other of those three great outlets or common sewers of the body, the bowels, skin and kidneys.
 Reader, did you but know how feaI fully and woun- derully you are constructed--how 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 never cease. During sleep, tal fuc appears be in state of repose, then is the wise provision and foreknowedge of the author of nature made manifest The heart continues to pour its vital stream to every part of the body-the lungs perform their ofice-respiraton is continued, and the blood decarbonized-the skin pours from its myriads or pores the poisonous matter of the blood-digestion continues and the nuttve 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 pusate, death would necessary uuence follow-the lungs would cease perform their effice-sufocation and death be the consequence, or precipitation 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 g norant and uneducated men, especially when they tempt to medde with diseases they know nothing of. Il full medical practitioner, who has abored for IS years in the study of science through all it's mnutia, and who now offers for your benefit the result of his long and arduous abors. l ask if you possessed watch of five dollars value, and it of repair, would you take it to tinker to have it set in order No you would surely bring it to a good watch-maker.- 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 agan-if mans machi- nery once stops, it stops forever. No human power can ever again set it in motion.
 You may always expect fever and health to follow the stoppage of any the secretons If except, says Van Swienten, those who perish violent death, and such as are extngshed by old age, all the die of inflammation, caused by suppression ofone the other of the secretons Pny describes the the
 Romans had of this disease, and of their applications in the Temple of Faunum for the removal of all obstuc lions to the natural outlets of the body. Sickness therefore cannot unless other of those outlets a obstructed, except in disease dependent upon sp silc conagion, such smallpox, measles, yenereal and these diseases only cured by inc creasing the natural secre1ons. When you labor un- der disease no matter of what nature, whether maig aant or otherwise, and you take Calomel from d physcian does he not always ask you, your bow els free-s precipitation free-is the secretion ofurne if you have pain, what ask you those enquiries but merely to ascertain if the ions are duly performed. If they are we'll perform ,d then your doctor is puzzled as to the nature oi your disease they not duly performed he then removes any obstruction. This is the great secret of our profession and thus we define reputation when we only assist nature in restoring the natural secre ons the great difficulty in the practice of medicines was the proper application of combination of medi- t.I chs and
