 v the most eminent of the medical faculty, and what is of more importance than a l candidly and hon esuly confess that my medicine is combination of Sarsapariiia, LueUoyf, Pieurisy Root, L,snnm Vita, and one or two other ingredients. The only origin aty claim is in my peculiar mode of preparation. II Is true, has often been dile wonder and amaze ment of my medical brethren, the astonishing performed in cases that were considered not within the power of medical aid. The whole mystery con sisted in my usng the medicine, and this alone the exclusion of all ohers and of the correct principles upon which diseases ought be treated. It will however be matter of surprise that such wonderful success should follow the of this medicine, when I 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 sixths. Man is linked together by number of organs beautifully as to form per-
 
 when out of order diseased is sufficient to destroy the harmony the whole. Ihese organs furnish- ed with inumerabe blood vessels called arteries and veins, which have common centre. The heart for propelng through them tie blood ntritiye fluid to all parts of the system, from the heart being furnished with valves which all in one direction, the blood only flow in corresponding course. That it is forced by the heart into the arteries, and after moist ening the most 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 use of the blood, is receive from the alimenta " canal the skin lungs, such matters is necessary for the nourishment of man, and to convey every part of the body for the purpose ofreparing its wase and increasing is growth. But if any efete, poison ous foreign matter is carried into the blood several organs provided the hue, kidneys, skin and lungs through which this poison is discharged from the blood in the form of pile urine, precipitation and pulmonary exhalation From this brief sketch or mans formation, the intelligent reader can easily un- derstand, how fever and inflammation is produced by the suppression of perspraton, for if precipitation be arrested in consequence of cold, the persprabe mat ter will mix with the blood and giperIse to iniama- ton. In like manner, if the discharge of bile be ar 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 impurity of blood for that is only an efect but
 in the obstruction of other of those three great outlets or common sewers of the body, the bowels, skin and kidneys.
 Reader did you but know how feaiilly and wou,- derfully you are constructod-how beautifully the Creator of the universe has provided for your pre- servation and existence, independent of your will, then ndeed would your admiration of the perlection of his mighty handiwork never During sleep, when your mental faculties are inactive, and your soul appears be in state of repose, then IS the wise provision and ioreknowedge 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 ollce-respraton Is continued, and the blood decarbonzed-the skin po,irs out from it's myrlads Of pores the poisonous matter of the bloDd-digestlon continues, and the nutritse particulars of food is carried into the blood for tee renovation of man. Were all the organs of the body, therefore, uhder the control of the will when sleep, the heart would cease to pulsate, death would a necessary conse ,uence follow-he lungs would cease 10 perform their ollce--suiocation and death be the consequence, or precipitation digestion be interrupted, the effects which would be perpetual disease.
 Reader you know perhaps, better than you ey CT knew before the vast importance of keeping these organs necessary to life in a healthy state. You will also place less reliance the pretensions of ig norant and uneducaed men, especially when they at tempt to meddle 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 minutia and who now offers fur your benefit the result of his long and argluous labors. ask if you possessed watch of five dollars value, and il 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 can be sei going agaln-if mans mac- nery once stops, it stops forever. No human power Can ever asain set 1t m motion,
 lou may always expect fever and ill-heath to follow rhe stoppage of any ofthe secretions. If except siys Van Swienen, those who perish violent death and such are extguished by old age, all the rest die of inflammation, caused by suppression of one or the other of the secretions. Piiny describes the terror the it in the Temple of Faunum for the removal of all obstfuc lions to the natural outlets of the boiy. Sickness therefore cannot occur unless one or other of those outlets ol,slructed, except in disease dependent upon SD sc contayion such as smallpox, measles, yenere ~. and these diseases are only cured by in creasing the natural secretions. When you labor der disease no matter of what nature, whether malig nant or otherwise, and you take Calomel from a physician, does he not always ask you, are your bow els reeis perspiration irees the secretion oi urine abundant-or, if you have pain, what ask you are those enquiries but merely ascertain if the secre tions are duly performed, If they well perform ed, then your doctor is puzzled to the nature oi your disease. lftey not duly performed he then removes any obstruction This IS the great secret of our 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- cina articles calculated to remove obstructons, and act at the same time upon all the seeretons, There are many valuable articles in the materia medca that will upon the liver Administered alone, but when combined with others to act upon the kidneys, they become neutralized. The concentrated ertyact of Sar saparitla, Lipe,c1th, Peunsy, RoOt, and Lgmua Ka, as prepared by me, is the only combination ever yet discovered that possessed this nestnable quality, which has been testified by medical men in En- gland For full account of the properties of these plants must reior the reader to my prize Essay of 40 pages, published in the New England Medical and Surg Recorder. will enimerate few only of the diseases ia which this medicine showed its mira cuous powers-Consumptioa arising from cold, or
