The reason is then obvious why these base imposers 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 eminent of the medical faculty, and what is of more importance than all, candidly and hon- estly confess that my medicine is a combination of Sa,sapariiia Lire,oor, Piemisy Root, Lisnu,n Vita, and one or two other ingredients. The only origin aity 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 considered not within the power of medical aid. The whole mystery con- sisted in my using the medicine, and this alone the exclusion of all others, and of the principles upon which diseases ought to be treated It win however be matter of surprise that such wonderful should follow the of this medicine, when state the principles upon which acted.
 The human body consists of solids and fluids The former or long structure is about one-fth. The lat ter soft part five sixths Man is linked together by number of organs 50 beautifully to form per- feet chain in the animal economy. One link of which when out of order or diseased is sufficient to destroy the harmony of the whole These organs furnsl- ed with inumerable blood vessels called arteries and yeins which have common centre. The heart for propelling through them the blood nutrye 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 course. That it is forced by the heart into the arteries, and after moist enng the minute flores, it is received by the 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- " canal the skin lungs, such matters is necessary for the nourshmen of man, and to convey it to every part of the body for the purpose of repairing it's waste, and increasing its growth. But if any efete, poison- foreign matter is carried into the blood several organs are provided as the hpe, kidneys, skin and tungs through which this poison is discharged from the bloed in the form of pile urine, precipitation and pulmonary exhakon. From this brief sketch or mans formation, the intelligent reader can easily un- derstand, how fever and inflammation is produced by the suppression of preparation, for precipitation be arrested in consequence of cold, the perspirable mat
 ter will mix with the blood and give to inhama- tion In like manner if the discharge of bile be arr rested in it's flow from the liver it is taken into the circulation and gives rise to Jaundice yellow fever, Sc. All diseases have therefore common origin, (not mpurity of blood, for that is only effect but in the obstruction of other of those three great outlets of the body, the bowels, skin and kidneys.
 Reader, did you but know how feai fully and woun- deriully you constructed-liow 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 During seep when your mental faculties inactive, and your soul appears be in state of repose, then is the wise provision and foreknowledge of the author of nature made manifest. The heart continues to pour it's vital stream to every part of the body-the lungs perform their oice-respraton is continued, and the blood decarbonized-tle skin pours out from its myrads Of pores the poisonous matter of the blood-digeston continues and the nuritve particulars of food is carried into the blood for tee renovation of man. all ha. control of the will, when sleep, the heart would cease pulsate, death would as a necessary conse- quence ollow-the lungs would cease perform their ofice-suiocation and death be the consequences or precipitation digestion be interrupted, the effects or winch would be perpetual disease.
 Reader, you 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 the preensions of g- norant and une,ucated men, especially when they at- tempt to meddle with diseases they know nothing of You will likewise appreciate the services of the skill tnl medical practitioner who has abored for IS years m the study of science through all it's minua, and who offers for your benefit the result of his long and arduous labors. ask if you possessed watch of five dollars value, and il out of repair would you take it a tinker to have it set in order No you would surely bring it to good watch-naker.- How much difficult then is the putting in order of the human body when of repair. A watch may stop, t can be set going again-if mans niachi- nery once stops, it stops forever. No human power can ever again set it in motion.
 You may always expect fever and il-heath to follow
 the stoppase of any of the secretions. If we except says Van Swenten, those who perish violent death, aad such extnyuished by old age, all the rest die of inflammation, caused by suppression of one or the other of the secreons. Plny describes the terror the Romans had of this disease, and of their applications in the Temple of Faunum for the removal of al obstc- lions to the natural outlets of the body. Sickness thereforr, cannot unless or other of those outlets obstructeI, except in disease dependent upon SD, ,c conagion, such smallpox, measles, yenereal, N, and these diseases only cured by in- creasng the natural secretons. When you labor un- der disease matter of what nature whether malig- nant or otherwise, and you take Calomel from a | physician, does he always ask you, are your bow els ree-is precipitation free-is the secretion urine abundant-or, if you have pain, what ask you are l those enquiries but merely to ascertain if the secre tons duly performed. If they are well perform ed, then your doctor is puzzled the nature of | your disease Ifthey are duly performed, he then removes any obstruction. This is the great secret of profession, and thus we define reputation when we only assist nature in restoring the natural secre- tions, the great difficulty in the practice of medicines was the proper application of combination of medi- cnal articles calculated remove Instructions, and act at the time upon all the secretons. There are many valuable articles in the materia medica that will act upon the liver if Administered alone, but when combined with others to act upon the kidneys, they become neutralized The concentrated ertracf of Sar saParila LipeOorth Pieurisy, Root, and Ligmun Hfa prepared by me, IS the only combination ever yet discovered that possessed this nestnable quality , which has been testified by most medical men in En- gland. For full account of the properties of these plants, must retor the reader to my prize Essay of 40 pages, published in the New England Medical and | Surgical Recorder. l will enumerate a few only of the diseases in which this medicine showed it's mira culous powers-Consumption arising from cold or where hereditary disposition existed hper complant. yeiioo evor, 1anndiee indigestion, torpid iactps -Ts al. .I. aT.sfnf af
