NJ thing but the inerpnsiton of Pro gidence save he lives of those per who day after day tamper with tic poisonous and deadly compoul ds blazoned forth the world through the public ess by ignor ant men who have abandoned some other ealing, and assumed the title of doctor, without having ceiYed the least medical instruction. l know the difficulty have in persuadiug the public that an ad vertsing doctor is can be regular Physician, but as address my self fly the respectable and nlel ligent portion of the community, the following tesli monials of my medical attachments will be deei.ed sufficient convince the most skeptical.
 received the degree of Doctor of medicine q 1G Su geon in the College of Phyisians and Surgeons New York-am member of the New York State Medical Society-Fellow of the Massachusetts Ned ica y, and Lincentate of the mediaal Board of the State of Louisiana, and for the last eighteen years q general practitioner of Medicine.
 My compound Extract of Sarsaparia, Liyerwort Peursy Root and Lignum Vita is the result of this long experience, and not te medicine of III hours consideration merely got for humbug or dece pton Upon the responsibility of my medical testimonials | my great medical practitioner, and the sa utary and beneficial effects ol my medcine stand
  cle of whose component parts they are gnorant- What do the public know of the poisonous and de- | strucve ingredients contained in the various pilsand panaceas advertised throughout the Union? The pro pretors of such medicines known well if the pub | lie aware that out of every ten pills they have swallowed, eight of them Mercuy, their trade i was end. have analysed most of the pirs | and other medicines advertised throughout the Union and found them contain, either o0rr0sire subliuote or Caiomef. The reason is then obvious why ,hs se base impostors will tell the component nars nj 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. Ipractice no such deception My ,nedi cine has stood the test of years-it is recomnended by the most eminent of the medical facn y and bat IS ot more impo ance than all candlly and honestly confess that my medicine is a combinations of arsan arila, Liverwort Pleurisy Root Lignum Vita an1 or two other ingredients The only oroinaltv claim is in my peculiar mode ofpreparatinn. lis true il has often been the wonder and amaz, nent of my medical brethren the astonishing cures nertnr,ned in that considered not within inc nn,,,sr ofmedical aid. The whole mystery consisted in my using this medicine, and this alone 10 the exclusion of all others, and ot the correct principles upon which diseases ought be treated Ii will not however he matter of surprise that such wonder. tul success should follow the use of this medicine when state the principles upon which acted.
 The human body cosists of solids and fluids
 The former or long structure is about one.ffih- The latter soft part five sixths Man is linked to- gether by number of organs so beautifully arrang- ed as to form perfect chain in the animal economy One link of which when outof order is sufficient to destroy the harmony of the whole These organs are furnished with innu umerable blood vessels called arteries and veins, which have common centre- The heart for propelling through them the blood or nutrilive fluid all parts of the svstem-be- Ing furnished with valves which all m one di- rection, the blood only flow in Il correspondinq course Thus it is forced by the heart into the arte- ries, and after moistening the minute flores ii is received by the veins and brought again to the heart and performs again the round ofthe body, and so Tn succession. The of the blood is to receive from the alimentary canal the skin lungs such mat ters as IS necessary for the nonrsemt of man. and to convey it every part of the body for the purpose of reparing it's waste, and increasing its growth
 But any effect poisonous foreign matter is car red into the blood vera organs are provided as the liver, kidneys, skin and lungs through which this poi is discharged from the blood in the form of bile perspiratonand pullnonaryexhalation From this briefsketch oiman sormaion the ntelgentre adercan easily understand how fever and inflammation is pro- duced by suppression of precipitation for ifperspira- ton be arrested in consequence of cold the perspira- ble matter will mix with the blood and give rise to inflammation. In like manner, ifthe discharge ofbe be arrested in it's flow from the liver il is taken into the circulation and gives rise to aundce yellow fe- yer, tSc. All diseases therefore have one common origin not mpurity of blood for that is only an eff
 ect but in the obstruction of one or other of those three great outlets common sewers oflhe body the bowels, skin and kidnies.
 Reader, did you but know how fearfully and won. derully you ar structed-how beaulifulvthe Gre tor of the universe has provided for your preserva ton and existence, independent of your will then in deed would your admiration of the perfection of his mighty hand work never cease. During sleep, when your mental faculties inactive, and your soul ap pears be in of repose then is the wise pro- vision and knowledge ofte author nature made maifest. The heart continues pour its vital stream to every part of the body-the lungs perform their ofice--respration is continued and the blood | decarbonized-the skin pours out from it's myriads | of pores the poisonous matter of the blood-dges- tion continues and the nuritive particles of our food are carriedno the blood for the renovation of man. Were all the organs of tn body therefore under the control of the will, when slept, the heart would | cease to pusate, death would necessary conse- | quence follow-the lungs would cease to perform their ohce-suiiocaton and deathb the consequence precipitation digestion be interrupted the effects of which would be perpetual disease.
 Render, you now know perhaps better than you ever knew before, the vast importance of keeping these organs necessary to life in healthy state
 You will also place less reliance the pretensions | of ignorant and uneducated men, especially when
 they attempt meddle with diseases they know not- ing of You will likewise appreciate the services of the skifu medical practitioner, who has labored for
 Is years in the study of science through all it's mi nutim, and who offers for your benefit the result of his long and arduous lebors ask if you possessed a watch ef five dollars "alue, and it of repair would you take it to tinker to have it in order No you would surely carry it a good watchmaker. How much 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 machinery | once stops it stops forever. No human power can | ever again set il ill notion
 You may always expect fever and iheath to fol-
