The proprietors of such medicines know well if the public aware, that out of every ten pills they have swallowed, eight of them are Mercury, their trade was at end. have analized most of the pills and other medicines advertised throughout the Union and found them to contain, either crrosDe sb- Innate or Cdlouae. The reason Is then obvious why these base mposters will nut tell the component parts of their medicines. They pretend thattley 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 inedi- cine has stood the test of years-it is recommended by the most emindni of the medical faculty, and what is of more importance than all, canddy and hon esty confess that my medicine is combination of .Saysapariiia, Lpesuor, Pieurisy Root, Lgnum Vita, and one or two other ingredients. The only origin ality claim is n my peculiar mode of preparation. it is true, il has often been the wonder and amaze ment of my medical brethren, the astonishing cures performed in cases that considered not within the pow, of medical aid.

 The human body consists of solids and fluids. The former or long structure is about one-iffh. 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 when ont of order or diseased is sufficient destroy the harmony ofth whole. These organs are furnish cd with nllmerable blood vessels called arteries and yeins which have common centre. The heart for propelling through them the blood or nutritve fluid to all parts of the system from the heart being furnished with valves which are all in dlrecIion the blood can only flow in corresponding course That it is. forced by the heart into the arteries and after rnost ening the nest minute flores, 1t 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 tte anenta ry canal the skin ungs such matters is necessary

But if any efete, poson- ous or foreign matter is carried into the blood several organs provided the hrsr, kidneys, skin and lHsgs through which this poison is discharged rem the blood in the form of pe urine, perspratioh and pulmonary .exhalation. From this brisfi sketch or mans formation, the intelligent reader can easily derstand, how fever and inflammation is produced by the suppression of persprtion fur if precipitation be arrested in consequence of cod the perspirable ter will mix with the blood and give r,se to niama- 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, Ste. All diseases have therefore common origin, (not impury of blood, for that is only eect) but
 in the obstruction of other of those three great outlets or common sewers of the body. the bowels, skin and kidneys. A 3al gU.ll3 f.V i.+ tAiNA A Reader, did you but know how flea, fully and woun- derfully you are coIsfructed-how beautifully the Creator of the universe has provided for your pre- sersaton 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 foreknowedge 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 ofice-respiraton is continued, and the blood decarbonized-the skin pours out from it's myrads or pores the poisonous matter of the boo,l-digestion continues, and the nutrve particulars of bur food is carried into the blood for tee renovation of man. We're all the organs of the body therefore, under the control of the will, when sleep, the heart would cease to pusate, death would as unnecessary conse- qaence followthe lungs would cease to perform their eihce-sufocilion and death be the consequence, or precipitation digestion be interrupted, the effects which would be perpetual disease. t.iy .-..,n
 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 of the skill in medical practitioner, who has aberefor IS years in the study of science through all its minntia and who now offers for your benefit the result of his long and arduous labors. 1 ask if you possessed a watch of five dollars value and 1t of repair, would you take it to thinker to have it set in order No !; you would surely bring il to good watch-maker.- How much more difficult then is the batting in order of the human body when out of repair. A watch, may stop, it can be set going againif mans machi aery once stops, it stops forever. No human power can ever again set 1t in motion. ilYs fiet. fe4,
