 Upon the responsibility of my medical testimonials my great success as medical prartiiioner, and the saluiary and beneficial effects of my medicine lsand or fall seek not to deceive the public with an ar tcle of whose component parts they are ignoraln What ,o the public know of the poisonous and de strucye ingredients contained m the various pills and panaceas advertised throughout the Union The proprietors of such medicines know too well if the nublic were aware, that out of every ten pills they have swallowed, eight of them are Merchry, their trade was at an end. have analized most of the pills, and other medicines advertised throughout the Union and found them to cona, either corostue sHb- Hnnafe or Caiomei. The reason is then obvious why these base mposters will tell the component parts of their medicines They pretend that they have dis covered the philosoplier's stone, and that you may five through countless ages, if you but swallow thelr medicine. practice no such deception My medi- cine has stood the test of yearsit 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 SaTsdparilla, Lpowort, Pleuisy Root, Lsnum Vstd, and one or two other ingredients. The only origin alty claim is in my peculiar mode of preparation It 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 powe of medical aid. The whole mystery con- sisted in my using the 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 tue use of this medicine, when state the principles upon which acted.
 The human body consists of solids and fluids. The former or long structure is about one-fth. The lat ter or soft part five sixths. Man is linked together by number of organs beautifully as to form per feet chain in the animal econony One link of which when out of order or diseased is sufficient to destroy the harmony of the whole. These organs are furnish ed with inumerable blood vessels called arteries and veins, which have ! common centre. The heart for propelling through them the blood nutrtye fluid to all parts of the system, from the heart being furnished with valves which all in one direction, the blood a., .., inn hat ia forced by the heart into the arteries, and after moist ening the most minute fbr:s, it is received by the veins and brought again the heart, and performs again the round of the body, and so on in succession. The use of the blood, is to receive from the smenta ry canal the skin lungs such matters is necessary for the nourshmen of nan and to convey it to every part of the body for the purpose ofrepairng it's waste, and increasing it's growth. But if any efete, poison- ous or foreign matter is carried into the blood several organs are provided as the iuer, kdneys, skin and lungs through which this poison is discharged from the blood in the form of pile, urine, precipitation and pulmonary exhahtion. From this brief sketch of mans formation, the intelligent reader easily , derstand, how fever and inflammation is produced by the suppression of preparation, for fperspraton be arrested in consequence of cold, the persprable mat ter will mix with the blood and give rise to htlama- tion. In like manner, if the discharge of bile be rested in it's flow from the lverit is taken into the circulation and gives rise to Jaundce, yellow fever &c. All diseases have therefore one common origin, (not impurity of blood, for that is only efect but

 Reader, you know perhaps, better than. you ey- CT knew before the vast importance of keeping these organs so necessary to life in healthy state. You will also place less reliance on the pretensions of g norant and uneducated men, especially when They tempt to meddle with diseases they know nqthing of You will likewise appreciate the services ofthe skill fu medical practitioner, who has labored fer IS years in the study of science through all it's ninuta and who now offers for your benefit the result ofhs long and arduous labors.
