What do the public know of the poisonous and de- sructe ingredients contained in the various pills and panaceas advertised throughout the Union The proprietors of such medicines know too we'll If the public were aware, that out of every ten pills they have swallowed, eight of them are MgeWy, their trade was at m end, l have analized most of the pills and other medicines advertised throughout the Unon and found them to contain, either eerrosipe sub Innate or Caionel, The reason is then obvious why these base imposters will 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. 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, 1 candidy and hon estIy confess that my medicine is combination of ,Sa,sapariHa LiDescort, Plewisy Root, LignWn Vita, and one 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- nent of my medical brethren, the astonishing cures the DOW. of medical aid. The whole mystery con- sisted in nysng ihe 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 use of this medicine, 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 at- 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 out of order or diseased is suicientt destroy the harmony of the whole. These organs are firnish
 ed with numerable blood vessels called arteries and veins, which have common centre. The heart for propeng through them the blood nuritive fluid to all parts of the system from the heart being furnished with valves which ali in direction, the blood can only flow in corresponding course. That it is forced by the heart into the arteries and after moist enng the nest minute flores, it is received by the veins and brought againto the heart, and performs again the round of the body and in succession The use of the blood is to receive from the amenta ny canal the skin lungs, such matters is necessary

From this briaf sketch mans formation, the intelligent reader can easily derstand, how fever and inflammation is produced by the suppression of perspration for perspiration be arrested in consequence of cod the perspirabe ter will mix with the blood and give rise to infama- tion In like manner, if the discharge of bile be ar rested in it's flow from the liver it taken into the circulation and gives rise to Jaundice yellow fever, &c' All diseases have therefore one common origin, (not parity of blood, for that is only an eect but in the obstruction of one other of those three great outlets or common sewers of the body, the bowels, skin and kidneys.i ,iagiaii ,,in~l i.hiiH'-
 Reader did you but know how feal fully and woun. derfulIy you are corstructed--how beautifully the Creator ofthe 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 ynr mental faculties inactive, and your soul appears to be in state of repose, then is the wise provision and oreknowedge of the author of nature made manifest Tho heart continues to pour its vital stream to every part of the bodythe lungs perform their offce-respiration is continued, and the blood decarbonzedthe skin pours out from its myriads Of pores the poisonous matter of the blood-dgestion continues and the utve particulars of our 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 we sleep, the heart would cease to pulsate, death would a necessary eonse- qlence foow--the lungs would cease to perform their sffice-suRocation and death be the consequence, precipitation or digestion be interrupted the effects or which would be perpetual disease. 5i0 lafas
 Reader, you now know perhaps, better than you ey- CT knew before the vast importance of keeping these organs so necessary to life in a healthy state. You will also place less reliance the pretensons of g norant and educated men, especially when they at- tempt to meddh with diseases they know nothing of. You will likewise appreciate the services of the skill ftl medical practitioner, who has abpred for Syears
 in the study of science through all its mnutia, and who now offers for your benefit the result of his long and arduous labors: I ask if you possessed watch of five dollars value and it out of repair, would you take it to tinker to have 1t set in ordera No you would surely bring ii to agood watch-nmker:- How much more difficult then the putting in order of the human body when out of repair.
