 Upon the responsibility of my medical testimonials my great medical practitioner, and the saluiary and bcaeiical effects of my medicine stand or fall. seek not deceive the public with an ticle of whose component parts they are ignorant. What do the public know of the poisonous and de- structve ingredients contained in the various pills and panaceas advertised throughout the Union! 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 an end. I have anaized most of the pills, and other medicines advertised throughout the Unon and found them to contain either corrosne Sb Innate or Caiomei. 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. l practice no such deception My medi- cine has stood the test of years-t is recommended by the most eminent of the medical faculty, andwhat Is of more importance than all, candidly and hon- estly confess that my medicine is combination of lsarsapayiRa, Lbesooyt, Piewisy Ioot Lignsm Eta, and one two other ingredients.

 state the principles upon which ac.ed.
 The human body consists of solids and fluids. The former or long structure is about one-ffth The at- ter or soft part five sixths. Man is linked together by a number of organs so 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 furnisl- ed with inumerable blood vessels called arteries and veins, which have common centre. The heart for propeng through them the blood or nlritiye fluid to all parts of the system, from the heart being furnished with valves which 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, 1t is received by the veins and brought again to tie heart, and performs again the round of the body, and in The use of the blood, is to receive from the alimenta " canal the skin lungs, such matters as is necessary for the nourshment of man, and to convey to every part of the body for the purpose ofreparng it's waste, and increasing its growth. But if any eiete poison- ous or foreign is carried into the blood several organs are provided the live, kidneys, shin and lungs through which this poison is discharged from the blood in the form of pile, urine, precipitation and pulmonary exhalation. From this briaf sketch or mans formation, the intelligent reader easily un- derstand, how fever and inflammation is produced by the suppression of perspaOn, for if precipitation be arrested in consequence of cold, the perspirabe mat
 ter will mix with the blood and give to infama- tion. In like manner if the discharge of bile be ar rested in it's flow from the liver it is taken into the circulation and gives rise to Jalndice, yellow fever, &c. All diseases have therefore common origin, (not impurity of blood, for that Is only eec) but in the obstruction of other of those three great outlets or common sewers of the body, the bowels, skin and kidneys. 1l all.l a'QGA.lHOt A fru.
 Reader, did you but know how fearially and woun- derfnlly you 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 cease. During sleep, when your mental faculties inactive, and your soul appears to be in state of repose, then is the wise provision and foreknowledge of the author of nature made manifest The heart continues to pour its vital
 stream to every part of the body-the lungs perform their ofice-respiraton is continued, and the blood decarbonized-the skin pours out from its myriads 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 .e control of the will, when sleep, the heart would cease to pulsate, death would as necessary conse auence follow-the lungs would cease to perform their eiice-sufocation and death be the consequence, or precipitation or digestion be interrupted, the effects which would be perpetual disease .s.rl,ss -....
 Reader, yon 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 preensons of ig nOrant and uneducated men, especially when they att tempt to meddle with diseases they know nothing of You will likewise appreciate the services of the skill m medical practitioner, who has abored for IS years
 in the study of science through all it's mnutia and who now offers for your benefit the result of his long and arduous labors. I ask if you possessed watch of five dollars value, and it out of repair would take II tinkef to nave U set III oru6r NO YOU would surely bring ii to good watch-maker.-. 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 again-if mans mach- nery once stops, it stops forever. No human power can ever again set it in motion. rl .l-lrlifl qi. z You may always expect feyerand illhealth to follow the stoppage of any ofthe secretions. If except says Van Swienten those who perish violent death and such as are extingushed by old age rest die of inflamation caused by suppression of one or the other of the secretions Pliny describes the the Romans had of this disease, and of their applications in the Temple of Faunum for the renoval of all otstuc tions to the natural outlets of the body. Sickness therefore cannot occur unless one other of those outlets a obstructed, except in disease dependent upon st sfc contagion, such snla-pex measles, venerea Ns and these diseases only cured by in- creasing the natural secre6ons. When you labor un- der disease no matter of what nature, whether malig aant or otherwise, and 4 you take Calomel from a does he not always ask you are your bow els eeis precipitation free-is the secretion ofurne 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 are well perform ed then your doctor is puzzled as to the nature of your disease Ifthey are duly performed, he then removes any obstructon. This is the great of our profession, and thus we define reputation when we only assist nature in restoring the natural secre lions, the great difficulty in the practice of medicines was the proper application of combination of medi- ,ina articles calculated to remove obstructIons, and act at tle same time upon all the secfetions. There are many valuable articles in the materia medica that will act upon the liver if administered alone, but when combined with others to act upon the kidneys they
