 Upon the responsibility of my medical testimonials
 my great medical practitioner and the saatary and beneficial effects of my medicine stand or fall. l seek moi to deceive the public with
 ticle of whose component parts they ignorant. What do the public know of the poisonous and de- strucive ingredients contained in the various pills and panaceas advertised throughout the Union The propretors of such medicines know too well if the public were aware, that out of every ten pills they v,
 trade was at an end. l have analized of the pills, and other medicines advertised through bout the
 UnIon and found them to contain, etier corroSine Sb
 Iimate or Calomel. The reason is then obvious why
 these hase mpusters 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 hut swallow their medicine. l practice no such deception My inesli! cine has stood the of yearsit is recommended hy the most eminent of the medical faculty, and what
 Is of importance than all, l candidly and hon estly confess that my medicine Is a combination of 'SaysapariHa, Lpsr,out, PieuriSy Root, Lgnum Naa, and one two other ingredients. The only origin ality claim is in my peculiar mode of preparation.
 1t is true, it has often been the wonder and
 nent of my medical brethren, the astonishing cures performed in cases that considered not within
 the pow, of medical aid. The whole mystery con
 sisted in my uslng 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 a matter of surprise that such wonderful
 success should follow the use of this medcine when
 l state tle principles upon which acted.
 sThe human body consists of solids and fluids The former long structure is about one-fith. The lat
 ter or soft part five sixths. Man is linked together
 by number of organs beautifully as 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 furnsh- ed with nunerable blood vessels called arteries and veins, which have common centre. The heart for propellng through them the blood mtrve 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
 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 so in succession. The of the blood, is to receive from the alenta

But if any effee, poison- ous or foreign matter carried into the blood several organs are provided the hue, kidneys, skin and lungs thrsugh which this poison is discharged from the blood in the form of pie urine, precipitation and pulmonary exhalation.

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 medl- cnal articles calculated to remove instructions, and act at the same time upon all the secretions Tbere are many valuable articles in the matera medlca that will act upon the liver if administered alone, but when combined with others to act upon the kidneys, they become neutfazed The concentrated extract of Sar- saparilla, Lue,Ooh, Piemisy, Root, and Lgman Nta, as prepared by mes the only combination ever yet discovered that possessed this inestimable quality, which has been testified by most medical men in En- gland For full account of the properties of these 1lants must refor'the reader to my prize Essay of 10 pages, published in the New England Medical and Surgical Recorder l will enumerate few only of he diseases in which this medicine showed its mira ,ulous powers Consumption arising from cold, or where hereditary disposition existed ,pr complaint,
