 Upon the responsibility of my medical testimonials my great success as medical practitioners and the sautary and beneficial effects of my medicine stand or fall seek not deceive the public with an ar tlCle Oi WnOSe CDHpoHeit l'hts uiSg thS What do the public know of the poisonous and de- structive ingredients contained in the various pills and oanaceas advertised throughout the UnIon The nroprietors of such medicines know too well Il the public were aware, that out ot every ten pills they have swallowed, eight of them are Mercury, their trade was at an end. l have analized most of the pills, and other medicines advertised throughout the Umon and found them to contain, either coToSipe Snb- Ii1nate or Cdlouel The reason IS then obvious why these base imposters 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 thelr medicine. l practice no such deception My medi, cine has stood the test of years-lt Is recommended by the most eminent of the medical faculty, and what
 is of more importance than all, canddly and hon. estly confess that my medicine is combination of
 Sarsapariia, Lioasoort, Pieurisy Root, Lgnu1a paa, and one or two other ingredients. The only origin ality claim is in my peculiar mode of preparation
 1t is true it has often been the wonder and amaze ment of my medical brethren, the astonishing cures performed in cases that were considered not within the DOW, of medical aid. The whole mystery cons sisted in my usne the medicine, and this alone to the
 exclusion of all others, and of the correct prnclpes npon which diseases ought to be treated It will not
 however be a matter of surprise that such wonderful
 success should follow the of this medicine, when
 l state the principles upon which ac.ed.
 The human body consists of solids and fluids. The former or long structure is about one-ifth The lat
 ter or soft part five sixts. 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 diseased Is sufficient to destroy the harmony of the whole These organs are ftrnish- ed with numerable blood vessels called arteries and yens which have common centre. The heart Tor propelling through them the blood or nutrtive fund to all parts of the system, from the heart being furnished with valves which are all in direction, the blood can only flow in corresponding course. That 1t IS forced by the heart into the arteries, and alter moist ening the most minute fbrss, it is received by tine veins and brought again to the heart, and performs again the round of the body, and on in succession The use of the blood, is to receive from the anena- ry canal the skin lungs, such matters is necessary for the nourishment of man, and to convey it to every part of the body for the purpose o repairing It's waste and increasing its growth. But ii any eiete, poson- ous or foreign matter is carried into the blood seveca organs are provided the huer, kidneys, shin and lungs through which this poison is discharged from the blood in the form of pile, urine, precipitation and pulmonary exhaation. From this brisf sketch or mans formation the intelligent reader easily un- derstand, how fever and inflammation IS produced by the suppression of perspIatlon for if precipitation be arrested in consequence of cold the persprable mat ter will mix with the blood and give rise to inflama- tion In like mauner if the discharge of bile be ar rested in it's flow from the liver it is taken into the circulation and gives rise Jaundce, yellow fever, Sc. All diseases have therefore one common origin, (not impurity of blood, for that is only an eect) but
 in the obstruction of or other of those three great outlets or common sewers of the body, the bowels, skin and kidneys. .. -..l l....
 Reader did you but know how feal fully and woun, derfully 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 yn mental faculties are inactive, and your soul appears to be in state of repose, then Is the wise provision and foeknowedge of the author of nature made manifest. The heart continues to pour its vital stream to every part of the b0dy-the lungs perform their ofce-respiraton is continued, and the blood decarbonzed-the skin pours out from its myrads or pores the poisonous matter of the blood--digesion continues and the nutrtve 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 sleep, the heart would cease to pulsate, death would necessary conse quence folow-the lungs would cease to perform their ofice-su1ocation and death be the consequence, or precipitation or digestion be interrupted the effects which would be perpetual disease. tS
 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 the pretensions of ig norant and uneducated men, especially when they at tempt to medde with diseases they know nothing of. You will likewise appreciate the services oi the skill
 l medical practitioner, who has labored for IS years in the study of science through all it's mnutia, and who now offers for your benefit the result of his long and arduous labors. l ask if you possessed watch of five dollars value, and it ont of repair, would you take it to tinker to have it set in order No you wond surely bring it 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 can be set going again-if mans machi merry once stops, it stops forever. No human power can ever again set it in motion. iffIl
 You may always expect fever and ilI-health to follow the stoppage of any of the secretions five except says Van Swienten, those who perish violent death, and such as are extnguishedby old age all the rest die of inflammation, caused by suppression of one or the other of the secretions Pny describes the terror the Romans had of this disease, and of their applications in the Temple of Faunum for the removal of all obstfuc tons to the natural outlets of the body. Sickness therefore cannot occur unless one other of those outlets obstructed, except in disease dependent upon 8 sp ,ifc contagion, such smallpex measles, yenerea N. and these diseases are only cured by n- creasnq the natural secretions. When you labor der disease no matter of what natre whether malig nant or otherwise, and you take Calomel from a phvscjan does he not always ask you, your bow els ree-s precipitation ree-is the secretion ofurine abundant--or, 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 yo doctor is puzzled as to the nature oi your disease. Ifhey not duly performed he then removes any obstruction. This is the great secret of our profession, and thus deiae 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 medl- cinal articles calculated to remove obstructons, and act at the same time upon all the secretonst There
