 The human body consists of solids and fluids. The former or long structure is about oRe6fth The lat ter or soft part five sixths. Man is 1ked together by number of organs beautifully as te form per feet chain in the animal economy One link of which when out of order diseased is sufficient to destroy the harmony ofthe whoe.i These organs furnish ed with inunerable blood vessels called arteries and veins, which have common centre. The heart for propellng through them the blood nutritive fluid to all parts of the system, from the heart being furnished with valves which are all in direction, the blood can only flow in corresponding course. That it is forced by the heart into the arteries and after moist ening the mast minute flores, it is received by the veins and brought again to the heart, and performs again the round of the body, and n succession The of the blood, is to receive from he alimenta " canal the skin lungs, such matters is necessary for the noursment of man, and to convey it to every part of the body for the purpose of repairing its waste and increasing its growth. But if any efete poison

 Reader, did you but know how feaI fully and woun. derlully you are constructed-how beautifully the Creator of the universe has provided for your pre- servaton 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 are inactive, and your soul appears to be in state of repOse, then IS the wise provision and foreknowledge of the author of nature made manifest. The heart continues to pour its vital stream to every part of the bodythe lungs perform their ofice-respiration is continued, and the blood decarbonized-the skin pours out from it's myriads pores the poisonous matter of the blood-ligestion continues and the nutftive particulars of food is carried into the blood for tee renovation of man. Were ali the organs of the body, therefore, under the control of the will, when sleep, the heart would cease to pulsate death would as necessary coIlse- auence follow-the lungs would cease to perform their oihce-suAocaion and death be the,cplisequence, or precipitation digestion be interrupted, the effects which would be perpetual disease. 4sis.-,
 Rssier, you 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 ig- norant and uneducnted men, especially whenthey att tempt to meddle with diseases they know; aothing of. You will likewise appreciate the services of the skill fu medical practioner who has labored for IS years in the study of science through all it's mIuta, aud who nnw offers for your benefit tie result of s long and arduous abors.

 You may always expect fever and illhealth to follow the stoppage ofany ofthe secretons. If we except, says Van Swenten those who perish violent death, and such as are extingushed by oage, all the rest die of inflammation. caused by suPgession of one or the other of the secreons PIiny describes the terror the Romans had of this dsease, and of their applications in the Temple of Fanuhor tiereoval of all pbstuc- tions to the iiaaal outlets of tve body. Sickness therefore cannot occur unless one or other of those outlets obst,,cted, except in disease dependent upon 3D. sific conagiom, such small-pex, measles, yenereal e and tbese iseises are only cured by n- creasng the natural secre tons.
