 difficult to remove the prejudice existing in the minds of intelligent and enlightened individuals against any article introduced through the means of advertise inent matter how great its merits may be, or how high its founder may stand as medical man. Noih-

What do the public know of the poisonous and de- structe 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 end. l have analized most of the pills and other medicines advertised throughout the Unlon and found them contain, either corrosiue Sub Imate or Calomti. 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 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, l candidy and hon- estly confess that my medicine is combination of Sa,SapariHa, Lrernort, Piewisy Root, Lgnum Vua, and one or two other ingredients. The only origin alty claim is in my peculiar mode of preparation, 1t is true, has often been the wonder and amaze ment of my medical brethren, the astonishing cures performed in that considered not within the pow, 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 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 l state the principles upon which ac'ed. >s The human body consists of solids and fluids. The former or long is about one-ffth The lat ter or soft part five sixths. Man is linked together by number of organs beautifully to form per- feet chain in the animal economy. One link of which when of order diseased is sufficient to destroy the harmony of the whole. These organs furnish ed with inulnerabe blood vessels called arteries and veins, which have common centre. The heart for propellng through them the blood nutritve fluid to all parts of the system, from the heart being furnished with valves which all in direction, the blood can only flow in corresponding course. That it is forced by the heart into the arteries, and after moist enng the most minute ibrss, it is received by tine veins and brought again to the heart, and performs again the round of the body, and on in succession The of the blood, is to receive from the amenta " canal the skin lungs, such matters is necessary for the nourishmen of man, and to convey it to every part the body for the purpose of repairing its waste d increasing its growth. But if any elfee, poison ous foreign matter is carried into the blood organs are provided the iper, kidnsys, skin ant lungs sugh which this poison is discharged iron the bloed in the form of pile, urine, precipitation ant pulmonary exhalation. From this briaf sketch O mars formation, the intelligent reader easily un derstand, how fever and inflammation is produced b, the suppression of perspraon, for if perspration bt arrested in consequence of cold, the perspirabe mat ter will mix with the blood and give to infama ton. h like manner, If the discharge of bile be ar rested In it's flow from the liver lt is taken into tIt circulation and gives rise to Ja,indice, yellow fever .Sc.

During sleep when yn,lr mental faculties inactive and your appears to be in state of repose, then is the wise provision and foeknowedge of the author of nature made manifest The heart continues to pour it's vita dream to every part of the body-the lungs perform heir ofice-respiraton is continued, and the booC decarbonized-tlie skin pours out from its myriads pores the poisonous matter of the bluod-digestlor continues and the nutrtye 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 pusate death would necessary conse. quence follow-te lungs would cease to perform heil oifce-sufocaton and death be the consequence, or precipitation digestion be interrupted, the effects o which would be perpetual disease
 Reader, you now 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 on the pretensOns of lg- norsnt and uneducated men, especially when they at- tempt to meddlr with diseases they know nothing of. You will likewise appreciate the services of the skill fa medical practitioner, who has labored for IS years in the study of science through all its minutia and who now offers for your benefit the result of his long and arduo,is 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 in order No ; you would surely bring il to good watch-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-f mans machi- nery once stops, it stops forever No human power can ever again set it in motion.
 You may always expect fever and il-heath to follow the stoppage of any of the secretions. If except, says Van Swienten, those who perish violent death, and such as are extnguishedby old age all the rest die of ntialnation caused by suppression ofone or the other of the secretons 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 iions to the natural outlets of the body. Sickness therefore cannot occur unless one other of those outlets obstructed, except in disease dependent upon 3D. sfc coutagion, such smallpox, measles, yenereal As and these diseases only cured by in- creasina the natural secretions. When ysu labor der disease no matter of what nature, whether malig- aant or otherwise, and you take Calome from physica does he not always ask you, are your bow els free-s precipitation free-is the secretion of urine abundant-or, if you have pain, what ask you are fhose enquiries, but merely to ascertain ii the secre- tions are duly performed. If they are we'll perform el then your doctor is puzzled to the nature of your disease fibey 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- eiua articles calculated to remove obsirlctions, and act a ibe same time upon all the secretons, There
