 What do the public know of the poisonous and de- structve ingredients contained m 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 are Mercury, their trade was at end. l have analzed most of the pills and other medicines advertised throughout the Unon and found them to contan either corrosine sb Hmcte or Cal,mei The reason is then obvious why these base nposers 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. 1 practice such deception My med- cine has stood the test of years-it IS recommended by te eminent of the medical faculty, and what is of importance than all, candidly and hon. estly confess that my medicine Is combination of Sarsapa1la, LiUaiu5r, Pieurisy Root, Lignu,n Vaa, and or two other ingredients. The only origin ality claim is in my peculiar mode of preparation. It is true, it has often been the wonder and amaze ment of my medical brethren, the astonishing cures performed in that were considered not within the pow, 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 to be treated. It 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
 The human body consists of solids and fluids. The
 
 ter or soft part five sixths. Man is linked together by number of organs beautifully as 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 1hese organs fllrnish ed with numerable blood vessels called arteries and veins, which have common centre. The heart for propelling through them tle blood nutrtive fluid to all parts of the system, from the heart being furnished with valves which are all in one direction, the blood can only flow in corresponding course. That it is hy haorf infnf fhe aft st- ening the most minute flores, 1t IS received by tine veins and brought again to the heart, and performs again the round of the body, and in succession. The of the blood, is to receive from the amenta ry canal the skin lungs, such matters is necessary for the nourismen of man, and to convey it to every part of the body for the purpose frepairng it's waste, and increasing its growth. But if any elete, poison- foreign matter is carried into the blood several organs provided the hper, kidneys, skin and lungs through which this poison is discharged from the blood in the form of pile urine, precipitation and pulmonary exiaation. From this bri9f sketch oI mans forlnation the intelligent reader easily derstand, how fever and inflammation is produced by the suppression of perspiratlon fur pcrsira.io- a arrested in consequence of cold the persprable mat ter will mix with the blood and give rise to nlana- ton In like manner, if the discharge of bile be rested in it's flow from the liver it is taken into the circulation and gives rise to Jaundce, yellow fever, Sc. All diseases have therefore one common origin, (not mpurty of blood for that is only efect) but in the obstruction of one other of those three great outlets or common sewers of the body, the bowels, skin and kidneys.
 Reader, did you but know how fea fully and wouI> derfully you are cohstructed-iiow beautifully the Creator of the universe has provided for your pre- scryation and existence, independent of your will, then indeed would your admiration of the perfection of his mighty handiwork never cease. During sleep, when y"ur mental faculties nactiye and your soul appears be in state of repose, then is the wise provision and fpreknowledge of the author of nature ll.- .,...l stream every part of the body-the lungs perform their oficerespiration is continued, and the blood decarbonized-tle skin pours out from its myriads pores the poisonous matter of the blood-digestion continues and the nutritiye particulars of food is carried into the blood for tee renovation of maa.- 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 ollow-the lungs would cease to perform their oiice-suiocation 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 necessary to life in healthy state. You will also place less reliance on the pretens0ns of ig nor;nt and uneducated men, especially when they at tempt meddle with diseases they know nothing of You will likewise appreciate the services of the skill fu medical practitioner who has abored for IS years in the study of science through all its mnutia and who offers for your benefit the result of his long and arluous labors. ask if you possessed watch of five dollars value, and it out of repair would you take it to tinker to have it set in order No you would surely bring il to good watch-maker.- How much more difficult then is the putting in order of the human body when out of repair. A watch may stop, it be set going agan-if mans machi- nery once stops, it stops forever. No human power can again set il in motion.
 You may always expect fever and ilhealth to follow the stoppage any ofthe secretions. If except, says Van Swienten those who perish violent death and such extingshed by old age, all the die of inflammation, caused by suppression ofone the other of the secreons Plny describes the terror the Romans had of this disease, and of their applications in the Temple of Faun for the removal of all obstuc lions to the natural outlets of the body. Sickness cannot iless one other of those outlets obstructed, except in disease dependent upon SD yic conagion, such as smallpox, measles, N. and these diseases only cured by n creasing the natural secretions. When you labor der disease, matter of what nature, whether mag- nant or otherwise, and you take Calomel from a physician, does he not always ask you your bow els free--is precipitation free-is the secretion ofnrine if you have pain, what ask you are those enquiries, but merely to ascertain if the secre- tions are duly performed If they are well perform ed then your doctor is puzzled to the nature of your disease. Ifthcy not duly performed, he then removes any obstruction. This is the great secret of our profession, and thus define reputation when only assist nature in restoring the natural secre- lions, the great difficulty in the practice of medicines the proper application of combination of medi- ,inal articles calculated to remove obsructions, and lct at the time upon all the secretons.
