there are many Medicines oi useless anu 'i- 3A jurious nature already before the pubic, It IS difficult to remove the prejudice existing in the minds of intelligent and ghened individuals against any article introduced through the means of an advertise inen, matter how great it's merits may be, or how high its founder may stand n medical man. Noth- ag but the interpretation of Providence can save the lives of those persons who day after day amper with the poisonous and deadly compounds biazoned forth t the world through the public press by gnorent men who have abandoned some other calling and assumed the title of doctor, without having ever recelyed the east medical instruction. Iknow inc difficulty have m persuading the public thatan advertising doctor IS or can be a regular physician, but as address my self only to the respectable and intelligent portion of the community, the following testimonials ot my med Teal attanments will be deemed sufficient convince 7he skeptical. .

What do the public know of the poisonous and de- suucve ingredients contained in the various pills and panaceas advertised throughout the Union The prOpretors of such medicines know too we'll if the public aware, that out of every ten pills they have swallowed, eight of them are Mercury, their trade was at an end. l have analized' most of the pils and other medicines advertised throughout tlf Unlon and found them to contain, either eoffosiDe sub Lnate or Caloulel. The reason is then obvious why these base mposters will tell the component parts of their medicines They pretend that they have dis covered the philosophers stone, and that yo1 may live through countless ages, if you but swallow their medicine. l practice such deception My med- cine has stood the test of years-it is recommended by the most eminent of the medical facuty and what is of more importance than all, candidy and hon- estly confess that my medicine is combination of Saysaparilla, Lipooort Pleurisy Root, Lgnun, Vita, and one or two other ingredients. The only origin alty claim is m my peculiar mode of preparation. 1t is true, it has often been the wonder and rnent of my medical brethren, the astonishing cures performed in cases that considered not within the pows- 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 correct principles upon which diseases ought 10 be treated. IL will not however be matter of surprise that such wonderful should follow the of this medicine, when l state the principles upon which ac'ed.
 srhe human body consists of solids and fluids. The former long structure is about one-fth The lat ter soft part five slxths. Man IS linked together by number of organs beautifully as to form per- feet chain in the animal economy. One link otwhich when out of order diseased IS sufficient to destroy the harmony of the whole. These organs are furnish ed with numerabe blood vessels called arteries and yeins which have common centre. The heart for propelling through them the blood or nutrve fund to all parts of the system, from the heart being Furnished with valves which are all in Trecti0nS the blood can only flow in corresponding course That It Is
 forced by the heart into the arteries, and after moist
 enng the most minute fbrss, it. is received by the veins and brought again to- the heart, and performs again the round of the body, and On,in succession. The use of the blood, to receive from the alimenta
 ry canal the skin lungs, such matters is necessary for the nourshment of man, and to convey to every part of the body for the purpose of repag its waste, and increasing it's growth. But if any eiete, poison ous or foreign is carried into the blood several organs are provided the iuer, kidneys, skin and
 ungs through which this poison is discharged from
 the bood in the form of pile urine, precipitation and pulmonary exhalaten: From this brief sketch man formation, the intelligent res1sF can easily derstand, how fever and inlabation is produced by
 the suppression of persPratIon for if precipitation be arrested in consequence of cold the perspirabe mat ter will mix with the blood and giverise infama tion. In like manner if the discharge of be 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 common origin, (not mpurty of blood, for that is only effect but n the obstruction of other of those three great outlets common sewers nf the body, the bowels,

The heart continues to pour its vital uream to every part of the body-the lungs perform heir office-respraion is continued, and the blood decarbonized-the skin pours out from it's myriads pores the poisonous matter of tlle bloof-dgestion continues, and the nutrve particulars of n, food is carried into the blood for tee renovation of man.

 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 on the pretensOns of g- norant and uneducated men, especially when they at tempt to medal. with diseases they know nothing of You will likewise appreciate the services of the skill f medical practitioner, who has abored for IS years in the study of science through all it's mnutla, and who now offers for your benefit the result of his long and arduous labors. ask if you possessed a watch of five dollars value, and it was out of repair, would you take it to tinker to have it in order F.

 You may always expect fever and illhealth to follow the stoppage any of the secretions. 1T except, says Van Swenten, those who perish violent death, and such extnguished by odage, all the rest die of inflammation, caused by suppression ofoae or the other of the secreons. Plny describes the the Romans had of this disease, and of their applications in the Temple of Faunun for the reoval of all obstfuc tions to the natural outlets of the body. Sickness therefore cannot unless or other of those outlets obstructed, except in disease dependent upon sp silic cOntaglon, such as smallpox, measles, yenerea and these diseases only cured by in creasing the natural secre6ops.

If they are well perform ed, then your doctor IS puzzled as to the nature of your disease Ifihey not duly performed, he then removes any obstruction. This is the great secret of our profcssion and thus we define reputation when we only assist nature restoring the natural secre tions the great difficulty in the practice of medicaes was the proper application of combination of medi cina articles calculated to remove obsuctions, and act at the same time upon all the secretions.
