 my great success as a medical practitioner, and the sauiary and bcaeicial effects of my medicine stand or fall 1 seek not to deceive the public with an ar tcle of whose component parts they are ignorant. What do the public know of the poisonous and de- structive ingredients contained m the various pulls and nanaceas advertised throughout the Union ! The nroprietors of such medicines know too well if the nnhlic were aware, that out of every ten pills they have swallowed, eight of them are Mercury, their trade was at an end l have anaized most of the hills and other medicines advertised throughout the
 non and found them to contan either oorrosine st6- Hmafs or Calome The reason is then obvious why these base imposters will not tell the component parts of their medicines. They pretend that they nave dis- covered the philosophers stone, and that you may live through countless ages,h you but swallow their ,n.Jc;,e | nractice no such deception My medl- c;oc has stood the test of years-t IS recommended h ,l most eminent of the medical faculty, and what I nf r,ore importance than all, candidly and hon estly confess that my medicine IS comOnafion ol S,,sonopffa LiraiUort, P9earisy Root, Lignam Ina, and ne or two other ingredients. The only origin
 i;,T claim is in my peculiar mode of preparation I|is true ii has often been the wonder and amaze. ment of my medical brethren, the astonishing cures nerfnrmed in cases that considered not within the power of medical aid The whole mystery con- sisted in my using the medicine, and this alone to the exclusion x all others, and of the correct principles nnon which diseases ought be treated It will moi however be a matter of surprise that such wonderful success should fnlow the of this medicine, when state the principles upon which ac'ed
 The human body consists of solids and fluids. The form:r or long structure is about one fifth. The lat fer 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 winch when out of order or diseased is sufficient to destroy the harmony of the whole. Ihese organs are furnish- ed with inumerabe blood vessels called arteries and ,eins which have T common centre. The heart for propelIing through them the blood nutrtiye 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 1t is forccd 6y the heart the arteties, and after moist .n;ng inc 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 on in succession
 The sse of the blood, is to receive from the amena- " canal the skin lungs, such matters as is necessary for the aourisment of man, and to convey ii every part of the body for the purpose of repairing its
 and increasing it's growth. But if any efet. poison. ous or foreign is carried into the Diood several
 orsans are provided the hper, kidneys, skin and fusgs through which this poison is discharged iron the blood in the form of pile urine, persplraton And uulmonary eyhalatop, From this brisf sketch 0 mans formation, the intelligent reader can easily un derstand, how fever and inflammation IS produced D. the suppression of persPiration for perspration n
 arrested in consequence of cod the perspirabie mat ter will mix with the blood and give to iDfama tion In like manner, if the discharge of bile be ar rested in it's flow from the liver it is taken into thu
 circulation and gives rise to Jaundice, yellow lever Ec All diseases have therefore one common orig lnot inpurty of blood for that is only eect) bu in the obstruction of other of those three grea outlets or common sewers of the body, the bowels skin and kidneys. ,
 Reader, did you but know how feal fully and woun derully you are constucted-how beautifully tn 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 Iiandiwork never cease, During sleep ,vhen your mental faculties are inactive and your sou appears to be in state of repose, then is the wis provision and foreknowledgc of the author of natur, made manifest The heart continues to pour its vita nf tho hody llmu their ofce-respration is continued, and the bloot decarbonzed-tlfe skin pours out from it's myriads pores the poisonous matter of the blood-digestior continues and the nutrve particulars of eur food carried into the blood for tee renovation of maa,- Were all the organs of the body, therefore, under the control of the will, when we sleep, the heart would cease to pulsate, death would a necessary conse- quence follow-he lungs would cease to perform their offce-sufocation and death be the consequence, or precipitation digestion he interrupted the effects which would be perpetual disease.
 Reader, you now know perhaps, better than you ey- 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 norant and uneducuted men, especially when they att tempt to meddle with diseases they know nothing of You will likewise appreciate the services of the skill fu medical practitioner, who has abored for IS years in the study of science through all its mnutia, and who now offers for your benefit the result of his long and arduous labors. ask if you possessed watch of five dollars yalue and it was out of repair, would YOU take it to a tinker to have it set in order No you would surely bring it to good watch-maker.--- How much more difficult then is the putting in order of the human body wbcl out of repair. A watch may stop. it can be set going again-if man nach- nery stops, it stops forever; No human power can eyer again set 1t m motion.
 lou may always expect fever and -healb to follow the stoppage of any of the seeretons If we except says Van Swienten, those who perish violent death l. of inflammation, caused by suppression of one or the other of the secreons Piny describes the terror tile Romans had of this disease, and of their applications in the reme of Faunum for the removal of all obst.uc lions to the natural outlets of the body.

The concentrated extract of Sar- saparia, Lueacoh, Pieurisy, Roof, and Lgmua Pita, as prepared by me is the only combination ever yet discovered that possessed this nestimabIe quality which has been testified by most medical men in En- gland.
