 A $ there are many Medicines of a useless and in- "A arious nature already before the public, it Is difficult to remove the prejudice existing m the minds o intelligent and enlightened individuals against any 1iele introduced through the means of an advertise lRent, no matter how great its merits may be, or how high its founder may stand a medical man. Noth ing but the interpretation of Providence save the Elves of those persons who dnv after day tamper with the poisonous and deadly compounds blazoned forth the world through the public press by ignorent men who have abandoned some other calling, and assumed fhe title of doctor, without having ever received the east medical instruction. know the difficulty l have ,n persadng the public thatan advertising doctor is ar can be a regular physician, hut as I address my self only to the respectable and intelligent portion of the community, the following testimonials of my med acal attainments will be deemed sufficient to convince the skeptca.

 My Compound Extract of ,SarsapariHa, Liuerport, PieurSy Root and Lignam Fta is the result of this ong experience, and not the medicine of an hours Consideration, merely got up for humbug deception. aSUpon the responsibility of my medical testimonials my great success as a medical practitioner, and the saluary and beneficial effects of my medicine stand or fall l seek not to deceive the public with tice of whose component parts they ignorant. What do the public know of the poisonous and de- structive ingredients contained in the various pills and panaceas advertised throughout the Union l? The proprietors of such medicines know too well if the public aware, that out of every ten pills they have swallowed, eight of them Mercury, their trade was at end l have analized most of the pills, and other medicines advertised throughout the Unlon and found them to contain, either Sub Inmate or Caomel. 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 philosophers stone, and that you may
 live through countless ages, if you but swallow their medicine. l practice no such deception My medi- cine has stood the test of years-it is recommended by the eminent of the medical faculty, and what is of more importance than all, candidly and hon estly confess that my medicine is combination of Sarsaparilla Lipatoort, Pieurisy Root, Lgnum Efd and one or two other ingredients. The only origin ality claim is in my peculiar mode of preparati0n 1t 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 sisted in my using the medicine, and this alone 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 the of this medicine, when state the principles upon which acted.
 SIhe human body cenSlss or solids and flulds. The furmer or long structure is about one-ffth. The lat ter or soft part five sxths. Man is linked together by number of organs beautifully to form per- feet chain in the animal economy One link of which when out of order or diseased is sufficient destroy the harmony the whole. These organs are furnish ed with numerable blood vessels called arteries and veins which have a common centre. The heart for propelling through them the blood nutrtive fluid to all parts of the system, from the heart being furnished with valves which are all in one direction, the blood can only flow in corresponding course. That it is forced by the heart into the arteries, and after moist ening the most minute flores, it is received by tine 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 alimenta " canal the skin lungs, such matters as Is necessary for the nourishment of man, and to convey it to every part of the body for the purpose ofeparng its waste, and increasing its growth. But if any efete, poisol- ous or foreign carried into the blood several organs provided the hre, kidneys, skin and inags through which this poison is discharged from the blood in the form of pie urine, precipitation and pulmonary exhalaton. From this brisf sketch or mans formation, the intelligent reader easily derstand, how fever and inflammation is produced by the suppression of perspration, for If precipitation be arrested in consequence of cold, the perspirable mat ter will mix with the blood and give to infama- ton In like manner, if the discharge of bile be rested in its flow from the liver it is taken into the circulation and gives rise to Jaundce, yellow fever, &c. All diseases have therefore one common origin, (not npurity of blood, for that is only eect) but m the obstruction of other of those three great O itiets or common of the body, the bowels, K,r and kidnevs '..I
 k. a,lr. aia yoa pm know how fea fully and woun- aerf,ly you are constructed-how beautifully the Creator of the universe has provided for your pre- seryation and existence, independent of your will, then indeed would your admiration of the perfection of his mighty handiwork never During sleep, when your mental faculties nactve and your soul appears be in state of repose, then Is the wise provision and foreknowledge of the author of made manifest The heart continues to pour it's vital tream to every part of the body-he lungs perform heir ofice-respiration is continued, and the blood decarbonized-the skin pours out from it's myriads pores the poisonous matter of the blood-digeston continues, and the nutrtye particulars of our food Is carried into the blood for tee renovation of 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- luence foow-the lungs would cease to perform their oice-sufiocation and death be the consequence, or precipitation digestion be interrupted, the effects or which would be perpetual disease.
 Reader, you now know perhaps, better than you 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 preensions of g norant and uneducated men, especially when they at tempt to meddlc with diseases they know nothing of. You will likewise appreciate the services of the skill fl medical practitioner, who has abored for IS years in the sudy of science through all its minutia, and who now offers for your benefit the result of his long and arduous labors. ask if you possessed a watch of five dollars value, and ii was out of repair, would you take it to tinker to have it set in order No; you would surely bring it to good watcll-maker.- How much more difficult then is the putting in order of the human body when out of repair. watch may stop, it be set going agan-if mans machi- nery once stops, it stops forever. No human power can ever again set it in moton .
 You may always expect fever and l-heath to follow the soppage of any of the secretons. If we except, says Van Swienten, those who perish violent death, and such extnguished by old age, all the rest die of inflammation, caused by suppression of one or the other 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 obstfuc lions to the natural outlets of the body. Sickness rherefore cannot occur unless other of those outlets obstructed, except in disease dependent upon sT sifc contagon, such as smallpox, measles, venereal As and these diseases only cured by in creasing the natural secre1ons. When yeu labor der disease, no matter of what nat,ire whether malig ;lant or otherwise, and you take Calomel from a physician does he not always ask you, are your bow els sfree-s precipitation frees the secretion urine abundant-or, if you have pain, what ask you are those enquiries, but merely to ascertain if the secre tions are duly performed If they well perform ed, then your doctor is puzzled to the nature of your disease. If they not duly performed he then removes any obstruction. This is the great secret of our profession, and thus we define reputation when we only assist nature in restoring the natural secre tions, the great difficulty in the practice of medicines was the proper application of combination of medi- cina articles calculated Instructions, and act at the same time upon all the secretions There are many valuable articles in the materia medlca that will act pon the liver Administered alone, but when combined with others to act upon the kidneys, they become neutrazed. The concentrated extract ef Say- saparila, LvsD,rth Plsurisy, Root, and Lgmun Nta, as prepared by me, is the only combnatiop ever yet that possessed this nestimable quality,
