The reason is then obvious why these base nposters willnt 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 h, the most eminent of the medical faculty, and what is nf more importance than all, l candidy and hon esy confess that my medicine is combination of .SlrsapariHa, LurWrt, Ple,uisy Roof, Lisnun Fnd, and two other ingredients. The only origin ality claim is in my peculiar mode of preparation. Ii is true, it has often been the wonder and amaze ment of my medical brethren, the astonishing cures performed in that considered not within the power of medical aid. The whole mystery cons sisted in my uslng 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 this medicine, when state the principles upon which acted.
 The human body consists of solids and fluids. The former long structure is abont one-hith The lat ter or soft part five sxhs ilan is linked together by number of organs beautifully to form per- feet chain in the animal economy. One link of which when out of order diseased is sufficient to destrey the harmony of the whole These organs are furnish ed with iuumerable blood vessels called arteries and veins, which have common centre. The heart Tor propelling through them the blood nutritve fluid to all parts of the ssstem from the heart being furnished with valves which all in directions the blood only flow in corresponding course. That 1t IS forced by the heart into the arteries, and after moist eming the most minute fbres it is received by the veins and brought again to the heart, and performs again the round of the body, and so on in succession The of the blood, is to receive from the alimenta- " canal the skin ungs such matters as is necessary for the nourismen of man, and to convey it to every part of the body for the purpose reparlng it's waste, and increasing it's growth. But if any elete poison- ous foreign matter carried into the blood several organs are provided the Grer, kidneys, sktn and iungs through which this poison is discharged from the blosd in the form of pie urine, precipitation and pulmonary exliaaton. From this bri9f sketch Oi mans formation the intelligent reader easily un- Sderstand, how fever and inflammation is produced by inc suppression of perspraon, for if precipitation be arrested in consequence of cold, the persprable mat ter will mix with the blood and give rise to nflana- iion In like manner, if the discharge of bile be ar rested in its flow from the liver is taken into the circulation and gives rise to Jaundice, yellow fever &c., All diseases have therefore one common origin (not mpuriiy of blood, for that is only effect but in the obstruction of other of those three great outlets al, common sewers of the body, the bowels, skin and kidneys.
 Reader, did you but know how feai fully and woun, derfiy 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, when your mental faculties inactive, and your soul appears to be in state of repose, then Is the wise provision and ioreknowledge of the author of
 made manifest. The heart continues to pour its vital stream to every part of the body-the lungs perform their ofce-respiration is continued, and the blood decarbonzed-the skin pours out from its myrads or pores the poisonous matter of the blood-,iigeston continues, and the nutritye particulars of food is slx.
 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 fonw-the lungs would cease to perform their oice-suiIocation and 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 ey- 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 g- norant and nneducated men, especially when they att tempt to medde with diseases they know nothing of. You will likewise appreciate the services of the skill ful medical practitioner who has labored for IS years in the study of science through all it's minuta and who offers for your benefit the result of his long and arduous abors. I ask if you possessed watch of five dollars value, and it out of repair, would you take it tinker to have it in order No you would surely bring 1t to good watch-maker.- How much more difficult then is the putting in order of the human body when out of repair. watch U nery once stops, it stops forever No human power can ever again set 1t m motion.
 You may always expect fever and l-health to follow the soppage any of the secretons. If we except, says Van Swientea, those who perish violent deaih and such extnguishedby old age all the rest die of inflammation, caused by suppression ofone or the other of the secretions. Ply describes the terror the Romans had of this disease and of their applications in the Temple of Faumm for the removal of all ostuc- lions to the natural outlets of the body. Sickiiess therefore cannot unless other of those outlets obslructed, except in disease dependent upon s. sifc contag zion, such sIna- -sx, measles yenereal ,. and these diseases only cured by in- creasng the natural secretons. When you labor un- der disease no of what nature, whether malig- nant or otherwise, and you take Calomel from |; physician, does he always ask you your bow-i els fiee-is perspraon free-is the secretion ofurine abundant-or, if you have pain, what ask you are those enquiries, but merely to ascertain if the tions duly performed. If they we'll perform- ed, then your doctor is puzzled to the mature oi your disease lfthcy are not duly performed, he then removes any obstruction. This Is the great secret of profession, and thus we de6ne reputation when only assist nature in restoring the natural secre- ons, the great difficulty in the practice of medicines was the proper application of combination of nedi- cinal articles calculated obstructions, ana te same time upon all the secretions. There many valuable articles in the matera nedica that will act upon the liver if administered alone, but when combined with others to act upon the kidneys, they become neutralzed. The concentrated erfracf of Sar- sapariia, Lveloorh, Pieurisy, Rot, and Egmua Kta as prepared by me, is the only combination yet discovered that possessed this inesimable qualify which has been testified by most medical men in En- gani For full account of the properties of these plants, must refor the reader my prize Essay of 40 pages, published in the New England Medical and Surgical Recorder.
