useless and injurious nature already before the pub lic it is difficult to remove the prejudice existing in tho minds of intelligent and enlightened individuals against any article introduced through the means of an advertisement nc matter how great it's merits may be, high the founder may stand m sdical nun. Nc thing but the Interpretation o Pro idence save the lives of those persons who day after day tanper with the poisonous and deadly compon ds binzoned forth to the world through the public p ess by ignor- ant men who have abandoned some other calling, and assumed the title of doctor, without having re- ceived inc least medical instruction. l know tie difficulty have in persuading the public that nd vertsing doctor is can be regular Physician bit as address my self O fly tothe respectable and intel

 Ireceived the degree of Doctor of medicine anu Su geon in the College of Phyisians and Surgeons New York-am member of the New York State Medical Socety-Fellow of the Massachusetts Med cal So,i ty, and Lncentate of the medisal Board of the State of Louisana and for the last eighteen general practitioner of Medicine.
 My compound Extract of Sarsaparilla, Liverwort, Pleurisy Root and Lisnum Vita is the result of this long experience, and not the medicine of m hours consideration merely got up for humbug deception, Upon the responsibility of my medical testimonials my great success medical practitioner and the sa utary and beneficial effects of my medicine, stand or fall. seek not to deceive the public with an ar ticle of whose component parts they are ienorant- What do the public know of the poisonous and de- sructve ingredients contained in the various pills and panaceas advertised tlrougho the Union The pro pretors of such medicines known well if the pub lie were aware that out of every ten pills they have swallowed, eight of them Mercury, their trade was nt an end. have analysed most of the pills and other medicines advertised throughout the Union and found them contain, either c0rosire sublimate Cdlomel. The reason is then obvious why the SC base imposors 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 countlssa if you but swallow toir medicine. Ipracteo no such deception Nv meG; cine hns stood the test Of years-it is by the most eminent of the medical facul " and Lo, is of more impo tance than all, canddy and honestly confess that my medicine is a combination of Snr,,n arilla, Liverwprt, Pleurisy Root Lignum Vita. and ore or two otker ingredients. The only origin,ltv
 claim is in ny peculiar mode of preparation. Ii is tue it has oltsn been the wonder and amazt ment of
 my medical brethren the astonishing cures performed in that considered not within the power d dmedical aid. The whole mystery consisted in my
 rsing this medicine, and this alone to the exclusion
 If all others and of the correct principles upon
 which diseases ought to be treated It will not however he matter of surprise that such wonder. fu success should follow the use of this medicine when state the principles upon which acted
 The human body cosists of solids and fluids The former or long structure is about one filth The latter soft part five sixths Man is linked to- geiher by number of organs so beautifully arrang- ed as to form perfect chain in the animal economy One link of which when outof order is sufficient to destroy the harmony of the whole These organs
 ar, furnished with innumerable blood vessels called
 areres and veins, which have common centre-
 The heart for propeing through them the blood
 q nutritive fluid to all parts of the systen-be- ng furnished with valves which are all m one di- lrection the blood only flow in a espond ng course Thus it is forced by the heart into the arte- res and after mostening the most minute ibres it is received by the veins and brought again to the heart and performs again the round ofthe body, and so on in succession. The of the blood is to receive from the aimentary canal the skin lungs, such mat Is necessary for the nourishment of m an and to convey to every part othe body for the purpose of reparlng It's waste, and increasing it's growth.
 But ii any effect poisonous foreign matter is car red into the bloud several organs provided as the liver kidneys skin and lungs through which this poi son is discharged from the blood in the form of bile urne,perspigatonan pulmonaryexhalation From this bre sketch oman Sormation,t the inelligentreadercan easily understand how fever and inflammation is pro- duced by suppression of precipitation, for fperspira ton be arrested in consequence of cold the oerspra be matter will mix with the blood and give rise to
 inflammation. In like hummer, ifthe discharge ofbile be arrested in it's flow from the liver it is taken into the circulation and gives rise to aundice, yellow fe yer, &c. All diseases therefore have one common origin, mot impurity of blood for that is only an eff fect but in the obstruction of one other of those three great outlets common sewers ofthe body the bowels, skin and kdnies.
 Header, did you but know how fearfully and won deriully you are consruced-how beaulifullythe Gre
 tor of the universe has provided for your preserva- ton and existence, independent of your will then in decd would your admiration of the perfection of his mighty hand work never cease. During sleep, when your mental faculties inactive and your soul ap- pears be in of repose, then is the wise pro vision and fore knowledge ofthe author nature made maifest The heart continues to pour it's vital stream to every part of the bodythe lungs perform their oflice-respration is continued and the blood decarbonzed-the skin pours out from its myriads of pores the poisonous matter of the blood-dges- ton continues and the nutrtive particles of food carried into the blood for the renovation of man. Were all the organs of the body therefore under the control of the will when we slept the heart would cease to pulsate, death would necessary conse- quence follow-the lungs would cease to perform their ohce-suffocaon and death be the consequence or precipitation digestion be interrupted the effects of which would be perpetual disease
 Render, you now know perhaps better than you ever knew before, the vast importance of keeping these organs necessary to life in a healthy state You will also place less reliance the preensons of ignorant and uneducated men, especially when they attempt medde with diseases they know noth-
 ing of You will likewise appreciate the services of the skifu medical practitioner who has abored for 13 years in the study of science through all its mi nute, and who offers for your benefit the result of his long and arduous abors ask if you possessed
 watch of five dollars ralue and it of repair would you take it tinker to have it set in order No; you would surely carry it to good watchmaker How much more difficult then is the putting in order of the human body when out of repair. A watch may stop, II can pc Set gong dbdlH-u Hldn mucnnery once stops, it stops forever. No human power can again set il in motion.
 You may always expect fever and illhealth to fol- low the stoppage of any of the tions. If we ex cept, says Van Sweton, those who perish by violent death and such extingushed by old age, allhe rest die of Inflammation caused by suppression ofone or other of the Pny describes the terror the Romans had this disease, and of their supplica tons in the Temple of Fanum for the removal of all Instructions to the natural outlets ofthe body. Sick therefore cannot occur unless one other hose outlets obsructed except 1t be disease depend ant upon specific contagion, such small pox mea. slea, veneria &c. and these diseases only cured by increasing the natural secretons. When you labor under disease matter of what nature whether ma lignant or otherwise, and you take Calomel from Physician, does he not always ask you, your bow els ree-is precipitation reeis the secretion of urine abundant--or, if you have pain what, ask you, those inquiries, but barely to ascertain if the score tons duly performed. lfthey are wellperformed, then your doctor is puzzled the nature of your disease. Ifthey not duly performed, he then re- moves any obstruction. This is the great secret ofour profession, and thus we define reputation when we only assist in restoring the natural secreons The great difficulty in he practice of medicine was the proper application of combination of medical ar ticles calculated Instructions and same time upon all the secretions. There are many valuable articles in the materia medca that will act upon the liver administer ed alone, but when coInbn- ed with others to act upon the kidneys, they become neutrased The concentrated extract of Sarsaparil. la Liycrwort, Peursy Root and Lignum Vita as pre- pared by me is the only combination ever yet dis. covered that possesses thisinestmable quality which has been testified to by most of the medical men in England. For fullaccount ofthe properties of these plants, must refer the reader to my Prize Essay of 40 pages, published in the New England Medcaland Surgical Recorder will enumerate few only of the diseases in which this medicine showed its mirac- ulous spowers-Consumpion arising from cold, or where hereditary disposition existed, liver com plaint, yellow fever, aundice, digestion. torpid inactive state of the bowels papitation of the heart pleurisy, scrcfula mercurial eruptions cuaneous disease arising from any cause secondary consttu- tiona efects arising from the venera disease, such as blotches on the skin. throat, ucerated nose and painful affections of the bones termed nodes.
