 A there are many Medicines of useless and in IA jurious nature already before the public, Il | fculi to remove he prejudice existing in the mind ol intelligent and enlightened ndi, ,iduas against am article introduced through the of an advertise msnt, no matter how great its merits may be, or how high its founder may stand medical man. Noth ing but the interpretation of Providence can save the Elves of those persons who day after day amper wll the poisonous and deadly compounds bazoned iortl tn the world through the public press by gnoent men who have abandoned some other calling, aHi assumed inc title of doctor, without having ever received the east medical instruction l know the difficulty have persuadng the public thaian advertising doctor IS can be a regular physician, but as address my self only o the respectable and intelligent portion of the community, the following testimonials of my med lal attanmests will be deemed sufficient to convince the skeptical.

 Ny Compound Extract of SarsapayiHa, Lrewort, PiewiSy Root aud Lignum Ntd is the result of this gong experience, and not the medicine of an hour s consideration merely got up for humbug or deception. aSUpon the responsibility of my medical testimonials
 my great medical practitioner, and the santary and beneficial effects of my medicine stand fall. seek not 10 deceive the public with an ar tcle of whose component parts they are ignorant. What do the public know of tue poisonous and de- sructye 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 ten pills they have swallowed, eight of them are Mercury, their trade was at an end. 1 have analized most of the pills, and other medicines advertised throughout the Unon and found them to contain, either corOsne s,b lirnate or Calomel The reason is then obvious why these base imposters 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 no 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 a l candidly and hon. estly confess that my medicine IS a combination of Sarsapariiid, LUerwort, Pleurisy Root, Lgaum Vna, and one two other ingredients. The only origin ay claim is in my peculiar mode of preparation. 1t is true, it has often been the wonder and amaze Inen of my medical brethren, the astonishing cures performed in cases that considered not within the powc 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 ot 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 ormer long structure is about one-fth. The lat ter or soft part five sixths. Man is linked together by number of organs so beautifully as to form per- feet chain in the animal economy. One link of which when out of order or diseased is sufficient destroy the harmony of the whole. These organs are furnsh- ed with inumerable blood vessels called arteries and veins, which have a common centre. The heart for propeng througl, them the blood nutrtive fluid to all parts of the system, from the heart being furnished with valves which all in one direction, the blood only flow in a corresponding course. That it is forced by the heart into the arteries, and after moist ening the most minute flores, it 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 receive from the alimenta- " canal the skin lungs such matters is necessary for the nourshment of man, and to conveyt every part of the body for the purpose ofrepairng it's and increasing its growth. But if any efee, poson- foreign matter is carried into the blood several organs provided the iUer, kidneys, skin and lungs through which this poison is discharged from the bosd in the form of pile, urine precipitation and pulmonary exhalaton. From this brief sketch ol mans formation, the intelligent reader easily derstand, how fever and inflammation is produced by the suppression of preparation, for if precipitation be arrested in consequence of cold the persprabe mat ter will mix with the blood and give rise to iniama- tion In like manner if the discharge of bile be rested in it's flow from the liver it is taken into the circulation and gives rise Jaundice, yellow fever, Sc. All diseases have therefore common origin, (not impurity of blood for that is only eect but

 keaue, tiiu you Du, know how feal fully and woun nerully you are constructed-how beautifully the Creator of the universe has provided for your pre- servation and existence, independent of your will then indeed would your admiration of the perfection of his mighty handiwork never cease. During sleep, when yair mental faculties nactive and your soul
 z .r alx h. provision and foreknowledge 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 heir offce-respiration is continued, and the blood decarbonzed-tle skin pours out from it's myriads ol pores the poisonous matter of the blood-digestion continues, and the nutrtive particulars of 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 sleep, the heart would cease to pulsate, death would a necessary conse- quence foow-the lungs would cease to perform their offce-sufocation and death be the consequence, or precipitation digestion be interrupted, the effects which would be perpetual disease.
 Rsader, 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 uneducaed men, especially when they at tempt meddlc with diseases they know nothing of. You will likewise appreciate the services of the skill
 
 in the study of science through all it's minuta 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 tinker to have it set in order No; you would surely bring it to good watcli-maker.- 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 mans machi- nery once stops, it stops forever. No human power can ever again set 1t m motion.
 You may always expect fever and ill-heath follow the stoppage any ofthe secretions. If except, says Van Swenten, those who perish violent death, aud such as are extngushed by old age, all the die of inflammation, caused by suppression ofone or the other of the secretions. Pny describes the terror the Romans had of this disease and of their applications in the Temple of Faunum for the removal of all obsuc- tions to the natural outlets of the body. Sickness therefore, cannot occur unless one other of those outlets obstructed, except in disease dependent upon SD. sifc contagon, such smallpox, measles, venerea As and these diseases are only cured by in creasins the natural secre1ons. When you labor der disease, matter of what nature, whether malg- Iant or otherwise, and you take Calomel from uhyscian does he not always ask you, are your bow els ree-is precipitation fee-is the secretion ofurne abundant-or, if you have pain, what ask you are those enquiries, but merely to ascertain If the secre- 1ions are duly performed. If they are we'll perform el, then your doctor is puzzled as to the nature Of your disease. Ifthey not duly performed, he then removes any obstruction This is the great secret of our profession, and thus define reputation when we only assist nature in restoring the natural tons, the great difficulty in the practice of medicines was the proper application of combination of medi- cinal articles calculated remove obstructons, and act at the same time upon all the secretions. There are many valuable articles in the materia medlca that will act upon the liver if administered alone, but when combined with others act upon the kidneys, they become neutrazed The concentrated frtract cf Sar- saparla, Lipe,corh, Pieursy, Root, and Lgman Vita, as prepared by mes is the only combination ever yet discovered that possessed this inestmable quality, which has been testified by most medical men in En-
