I practice such deception My medi- cine has stood the test of years-lt 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 a combination of .Sarsaparilla Liuewort, Plsmisy Root, Lignnm Nta, and one or two other ingredients. The only origin ality claim is in my peculiar mode of preparation 1t islrue 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 con sisted in my using the medcine 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 matter of surprise that such wonderful success should follow the of this medicine, when state the principles upon which acted.
 The human body consists of solids and fluids. The former or long structure is about oneffth. The lat
 
 by a number of organs beautifully as to form per feet chain in the animal economy. One link of which when out of order or diseased is sufficient to destroy the harmony fihe whole. These organs are furnish- ed with numerable blood vessels called arteries and yeins which have T common cenre The heart for propeng through them the blood or nutritve fund to all parts of the system from the heart being furnished with valves which are all direction, the blood can only flow in corresponding course. That 1t IS forced by the heart into the arteries, and after moist ening the minute flores, it is received by tine veins and brought again to the heart, and performs again the round of the body and so in succession The use of the blood, is to receive from the amena- ry canal the skin lungs, such matters as IS necessary for the nourisment of lan and to convey n to every part of the body for the purpose of repairing its waste and increasing it's growth. But if any eifete, poson- ous or foreign matter is carried into the blood several
 organs are provided as the iver, kdneys, skin and lungs through which this poison is discharged from the blood in the form of pile, urine, perspration and pulmonary exhalation. From this brsf sketch or mans formation, the intelligent reader can easily dersand, how fever and inflammation is produced by the suppression of preparation, for if precipitation be arrested in consequence of cold, the persprabe mat ter will mix with the blood and give rise to inama- 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, Sc. All diseases have therefore one common origin, (not mpurity of blood, for that is only efec,) but in the obstruction of other of those three great outlets or common of the body, the bowels, skin and kidneys
 Reader did you but know how fea, fully and wour~ dertully you are constructed--how Beautifully the Creator of the universe has provided for your pre- servation and existence independent of your will, then indeed would your admiration of the perfection of his mighty handiwork never cease. During sleep, when yo mental faculties are inactive and your soul appears to be in state of repose, then is the wise provision and foreknowedge of the author of nature made manifest The heart continues to pour it's vital stream every part of the body-the lungs perform their oilce-respiraton is continued, and the blood decarbonzed-the skin pours out from its myriads oi pores the poisonous matter of the blood-digestion continues and the nutrve 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 wil when we sleep, the heart would cease to pulsate, death would as a necessary conse quence folow-tle lungs would cease to perform their oice--suifocation and death be the consequence, precipitation or digestion be interrupted the effects which would be perpetual disease.
 Reader, you now know perhaps, better than you ey- CT knew before the vast importance of keeping these organs so necessary to life in healthy state. You will also place less reliance the preensions of ig noranl and uheducated men, especially when they at teanpt to meddle 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 study of science through all its minutia, and who now offers for your benefit the result of his long and arduous 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 set in order No you would surely bring it to good watch-maker.- How much more difficult then the putting in order of the human body when out of repair. 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. -N'
 You may always expect fever and ill-health to follow the stoppage of any ofthe secretions. If except, says Van Swienten, those who perish violent death, and such as are extngushed by old age, all the die of infamaton, caused by suppression of one or the other of the secretons. Pny describes the the Romans had of this disease, and of their applications in the Temple of Faunum for the removal of all obstc lions to the natural outlets of the body. Sickness therefore cannot occur unless other of those outlets obstructed, except in disease dependent upon sp sifc contagon, such as smallpox, measles, venereal and these diseases are only cured by in creasng the natural secretions. When you labor der disease no of what nature, whether malg nant or otherwise, and you take Calomel from physician does he not always ask you, your bow els free-s precipitation frees the secretion ofurne abundant-or, if you have pain, what l ask you are those enquiries, but merely to ascertain II the secre tons are duly performed. If they are well perform ed, then your doctor is puzzled as to the nature of your disease Ifthey not duly performed, he then removes any obstruction. This is the great 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 med- cnal articles calculated to Instructions, and act at the same time upon all the secretions There are mauy valuable articles in the materia medica that will act upon the liver if administered alone, but when mad, ofh tn aefu hp ftpv
