 A s there are mnnv Medicines of a useless and in- IA jrous nature already before the pablc, it is difficult 10 remove the prejudice existing in the minds of intelligent and enlighene individuals against any article introduced through the means of an advertise ment no matter how great it's merits may be, or now high it's founder may stand as medical man. N"th- ing but the interpretation of Providence can save the lives of those persons who day aer day tampef witn the poisonous and deadly compounds ba2oned lorth the world through the public press by gnorent men who have abandoned some other calling, a|i assumed the title nf doctor, without having ever received ihe

 Upon ihe responsibility of my medical testimonials
 my great success as medical practitioner, and the saluary and beneficial effects of my medicine stand or faI I seek not to deceive the public with tice of whose component parts they are ignorant. What do the public know of the poisonous and de- sructiye ingredients contained in the various pills and panaceas advertised throughout the Union The proprietors of such medicines know too well if the public were aware, that out of every pills they have swallowed, eight of them are Mercury, their trade was al end. l have anazed most of the pills and other medicines advertised through the
 Unon and found them to contaln either corrosive S6- limate or Cai0nld. The reason is then obvious why these base imposers 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 their medicine. 1 practice such deception My med- cine has stood the test of years-it is recommended by the most eminent of the medical faculty and what is of more importance than all, candidy and hon estlv confess that my medicine is combination of .SarSapariua, Ldpnsoorf, PeGrsy Root, Lignum Vnd, 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
 nent of my medical brethren, the astonishing performed in cases that were considered not within the pow, of medical aid. The whole mystery con sisted in my using the medcipe 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 should follow the of this medicine, when l state the principles upon which acted.
 The human body consists of solids and fluids The former long structure is about e-ffth. The lat ter or soft part five sixtiis Man is linked together by number of organs so beautifully form per- feet chain in the animal economy. One link of which when out of order or diseased sufficient to destroy the harmony of the whole. These organs firnish ed with numerabe blood vessels called arteries and veins, which have common centre The heart for through them the blood nldrve fluid to all parts of the system, from the heart being furnished with valves which all in one direction, the blood can only flow in a. corresponding course That 1t IS forced by the heart into the arteres and after moist enng the msst minute fbrss, it is received by the | veins and brought again to the heart and performs again the round of the body and so on in succession The of the blood, is to receive from the amenta " canal the skin lungs, such matters is necessary for the nourishment of man, and convey it every part oft the body for the purpose repairing its waste aud increasing it's growth. But if any eete, poson- Dus or foreign matter carried into the blood several organs provided the iuer, kidneys, skin and lungs through which this poison is discharged from the blood in the form of pile, urine, precipitation and pulmonary exhaltion. From this brief sketch or mans formation, the intelligent reader can easily un derstand, how fever and inflammation is produced by the suppression perspiraton, for fperspiraton be arrested in consequence of cold, the persprable mat ter will mix with the blood and give rise to nhama- tion In like manner, if the discharge of bile be ar rested in its flow from the liver t is taken into the circulation and gives rise to Jaun1ce, yellow fever, &c. All diseases have therefore one common origin, (not impurity of blood, for tatis only eeet) but in the obstruction of one other of those three great

 Reader, did you but know how fea iily and woun- derfully you are constricted-how beautifully the Creator of the universe ls provided for your pre- seryaton and existence. independent of your will, then indeed would your admiration of the perfection of his mighty handwork never cease. During sleep, when yh mental faculties are 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 pourits vital stream to every part of the body-the lungs perform their ofce--respiration is continued and the blood decarbonized-te skin pours out from it's myrads or pores the poisonous matter of the bood-digestion continues, and the nitiye particulars of food is carried into the blood for tee fenovatoi of man Were all the organs of the body therefore, under the control of the will when we sleep, the heart would cease to pulsate, death would as necessary conse- sIuence follow-the lungs would cease toperom their oilice-sufocaton and death be the consequence, or precipitation digestion be interrupted, the effects which would be perpetual disease.

 Reader, you now know perhaps, better than you ev- CT knew before the vast importance of keeping these organs necessary to life in healthy state. You will also place less reliance the pretensions of g- norant and uncdncated men, especially when they at tempt to meddle with diseases they know nothing of You will likewise appreciate the services of the skill fu medical practitioner, who has abored for IS years in the study of science through all it's minutia, 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 out of repair, would you take it to tinker to have it set in order No you would 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 agan-if mans machi- nery once stops, it stops forever No human power ever again set t Tn motion ai.H ,liail uwi ya-
 You may always expect fever and l-health to follow the stoppage of any oftle secfetons If we except, says Van Swienten, those who perish violent death, and such as arc extinguishedby old ae all the rest die of inanation, caused by suppression of one or the other of the secretions. Pny describes the terror the Romans had of this disease, and of eir applications in the Temple of Faunum for the removal fall obseuc lions to the natural outlets of the body. Sickness therefore cannot occur unless oter of those outlets obstructed, except in disease dependent upon SD tc contagion, such smallpox, measles, venereal :, and these diseases areony cured by in creasing the natural secre1ons. When you labor der disease, no matter of what nature, whether mag .,ant or otherwise, and you take Calomel from physician does he mt always ask you are your bow els free-is perspration freeis the secretion Of urine abundant-or, if you have pain, what ask you are those enquries but merely ascertain if the secre tons are duly performed. If they are well perform ed. then your doctor is puzzled as to te nature oi your disease Ifthey not duly performed, he then removes any obstruction This is the great secret of our profession, and thus we define reputation wien we only assist nature in restoring the natural
