What do the public know of the poisonous and de- stctiye ingredients contained in the various pills and panaceas advertised throughout the Union I! The propretors 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 an end l have analized most of the pills, and other medicines advertised throughout the Unon and found them to contain, either corToSine Sub- Lmats or CaioD,ei. The reason Is then obvious why these base mposters will not tell the component parts of their medicines They pretend that they have dis covered the philosophers stone, and that you may

 4s The human body consists of solids and fluids. The ,rmer or long structure is about one-fth. The lat ter or soft part five sixths. Man is linked together by number of organs so beautifully form per feet chain in the animal economy. One link of which ulscdSeu the harmony of the whole. Ihese organs flirnish ed with inumerable blood vessels called arteries and veins, which have 2 common centre. The heart for propel,ing through them the blood nuritiye 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 a corresponding course. That it is forced by the heart into the arteries and after moist ening the nest minute flores, it is received by tine veins and brought again to tic heart, and performs again the round of the body, and on in succession. The use of the blood to receive from the alimenta- ry canal the skin lungs, such matters is necessary for the noushnent of man, and to convey it to every part of the body for the purpose oreparing it's waste, and increasing it's growth. But if any eete, poison- ous or foreign matter carried into the blood several organs are provided as the hpr, 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 brsf sketch oI mans formation the intelligent reader easily un- derstand, how fever and inflammation is produced by the suppression of perspaton, for If perspration be arrested in consequence of cold the perspabe mat ter will mix with the blood and give rise to infiama- tion In like manner, if the discharge of bile be rested in its flow from the liver it is taken into the circulation and gives rise to Jaundice yellow fever, &c. All diseases have therefore common origin, (not mpurty of blood, for that is only efect) but
 n the obstruction of other of those three great o ,t. Is or common sewers of the body, the bowels,

 k.aur, uu you Dm kiiow how feai fully and woun- oerfuly you are constructed-how beautifully the Creator of the universe has provided for your pre- seryation and existence, independent of your will, then indeed would your admiration of the perfection of his mighty handiwork never cease. During sleep, when yonr mental faculties inactive, and your soul appears to be in a state of repose, then is the wise provision and foreknowedge of the author of nature made manifest. The heart continues to pour it's vital ,tream to every part of the body-the lungs perform
 heir offce-respiration is continued, and the blood i'm, from sla pores the poisonous matter of the blood-digestion continues, and the nutiitve 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 seep the heart would cease to pulsate, death would necessary conse- ouence foow-the lungs would cease to perform their office-sufocaion and death be the consequence, or precipitation digestion be interrupted, the effects or which would be perpetual disease.
 Render 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 pretensons of g norant and uneducated men, especially when they at tempt to meddlc with diseases they know nothing of You will likewise appreciate the services of the skill fl medical practitioner, who has lbored for IS years in the study of science through all it's mnuiia and who now offers for your benefit the result of his long and arduous labors. ask if you possessed a 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 naker.- How much more difficult then is the putting in order of the human body when out of repair. watch may stop, it can be set going again-if man 'smach- nery once stops, 1t stops forever. No human power can again set 1t in motion.
 Ton may always expect fever and ill-lealth to follow the stoppage of any of the secretions. If except, says Van Swienten, those who perish violent death, and such as are extnguished by old age, all the rest die of inflammation, caused by suppression oi one or the other of the secretons Plny describes the terror the Romans had of this disease, and of their applications in the Teinple of Faunum for the removal of all obstuc tions to the natural outlets of the body. Sickness therefore cannot unless one ar other of those outlets obstructed, except in disease dependent upon s sifc contagon, such as smallpox, measles, yenereal and these diseases are only cured by n- creasing the natural secre1ons. When you labor un- der disease, no matter of what nature, whether malg aaut or otherwise, and you take Calomel from a phvsician does he not always ask you are your bow els fee-s precipitation frees the secretion oi urine abundant-or, if you have pain, what ask you are those enquiries, but merely to ascertain Ii the secre tions are duly performed. If they well perform ed, then your doctor is puzzled as to the nature Of your disease If,hey not duly performed, he then removes any obstruction. This is the great secret of our profession and thus define reputation when we only assist in restoring the natural secre- tions, the great difficulty m the pracce ol meaicnes was the proper application of combination oi nedi- cna articles calculated to remove obstructions and act at the same time upon all the secretons. There are many valuable articles in the matera 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 ertract cf Sar saparilla, Livsuorth Piemsy, Root, and Ligmua Nta as prepared by me, is the only combination ever yet discovered that possessed this nestimabe quality, which has been testified by most medical men in En- gland For full account of the properties of these 1ants must refor the reader to my prize Essay of 40 pages, published in the New England Medical and Surgical Recorder. will enumerate few only of inc diseases in which this medicine showed it's mira
