 A there are many Medicines of a useless and in- l n jnrious nature already before the public, 1t Is difficult 10 the prejudice existing in the mnds ol intelligent and enlightened individual against any article introduced hrough the means oi an advertise IRent, no matter how great it's merits may be, or how high it's founder may stand a medical man. Noth- ing but the interpretation of Providence can save the Elves of those persons who day after day amper with the poisonous and deadly compounds bazoned forth the world through the public press by gnorent men who have abandoned other calling, art assumed the title of doctor, without having ever received the east medical instruction. know the difficulty have m persuading the public tatan advertising doctor Is or can be a regular physcian but as l address my self only to the respectable and intelligent portion of the community the following testimonials of my med Ieal attanments will be deemed sufficient to convince the skeptical.

 Upon the responsibility of my medical testimonials my great medical practitioner, and the saluiary and beneficial effects of my medicine stand or fall seek not to deceive the public with an ar ticle of whose component parts they ignorant. What do the public know of the poisonous and de- structive 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 have swallowed, eight of them are Mercury, their trade was at an end. 1 have analized most of the pills, and other medicines advertised throughout the Uon and found them to contain, either corrosine Sub lpnate or Calomel. The reason is then obvious why these base mposters 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 hut swallow their medicine l practice such deception My medi- cine has stood the test of years-it 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 combination oi Sarsapariia, LiratOort, Pieurisy Root, Lg,,um Vita and one or two other ingredients. The only origin ality claim IS m my peculiar mode of preparation 1t is true, 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 usng the medicines and this alone to the exclusion of all others, and of the principles upon which diseases ought to be eated It will moi however be matter of surprise that such wonderful success should follow the of this medicine, when l state the principles upon which l acted.
 
 ormer long structure is about oneifth. The lat ter or soft part five sixts. Man is linked together by number of organs so beautifully to form per feet chain in the animal economy. One link of which when out of order diseased is sufficient to destroy the harmony of the wlole These organs furnish- ed with numerabe blood vessels called arteries and veins, which have common centre The heart for propelling through them the blood or nutrtye 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 nest minute flores, it is received by tine veins and brought again to the heart and perform: again the round of the body, and in succession The of the blood, is to receive from the alimenta ry canal the skin ungs such matters is neccessar, for the noushnent of man, and to convey it to every part of the body for the purpose of repairing it's waste and increasing its growth But if any efete, poison foreign matter is carried into the blood seyera organs are provided the Huer, kidneys, sk1n ant lungs through which this poison is discharged iron the blood in the form of pie urine, perspiration pulmonary exhaation. From this briaf sketch O mans formation the intelligent reader easily un derstand how fever and inflammation is produced b, the suppression of perspration for if persprtion bt arrested in consequence of cold, the perspirabe mat ter will mix with the blood and give rlse to iRfama 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 Jaundce, yellow fever &c. All diseases have therefore one. common origin (not inpury of blood, for that is only efect,) bu in the obstruction of or other of those three grea ,tlcts or common sewers of the body, the bowels | and kidneys.

During sleep when your mental faculties inactive, and your sou 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 its vita ',tream to every part of the bodyhe lungs perform heir ofhce-respraton is continued, and the blooC decarbonized-the skin pours out from its myriads o pores the poisonous matter of the blood-digestion continues and the nutrtve 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 will, when we sleep, the heart would cease to pulsate, death would a necessary quence folow-he lungs would cease to perform their otfce-sufocation and death be the consequence, or precipitation digestion be interrupted, the effects which would be perpetual disease.
 Reader you 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 preensions of ig- norant and uneucated men, especially when they at tempt to meddlc with diseases they know nothing of. You will likewise appreciate the services of the skill

No human power can again set 1t m motion.

If except, says Van Swienen, those who perish violent death, and such as exngushed by old age, all the rest die of inflammation, caused by suppression of one the other of the secretions. Pny describes the the Romans had of this disease, and of their applications in the Temple of Faunum for the removal of all obstuc tions to the natural outlets of the body. Sickness therefore cannot unless one other of those outlets a obstructed, except in disease dependent upon sIA sic contagion, such smallpox, measles, venerea Ae and these diseases only cured by in- creasing the natural secre1ons When you labor un- der disease, matter of what nature, whether malig- .lant or otherwise, and you take Caomel from a physican does he not always ask you, are your bow els free-is perspiraton ee-s the secretion of urine abundant-or, if you have pain, what l ask you are those enquiries, but merely to ascertain if the secre- tions are duly performed. If they arc well perform el then your doctor is puzzled as to the nature Of your disease. Ifthey not duly performed, he then removes any obstruction. lhs IS the great secret Of our profession, and thus define reputation when we only assist nature in restoring the natural tons, the great difficulty in the practice of medicines was the proper application of combination of medi- eina articles calculated to remove obsnuctions, and act at the same time upon all the secretions. There are many valuable articles in the mater ia medica that will act upon the liver Administered alone, but when combined with others to act upon the kidneys, they become neutrazed. The concentrated erract of Sar- saparlia, Lvsw,rth, Piewisy, Root, and Lgmun Vita, as prepared by me, is the only combination ever yet discovered that possessed this inestimable quality,
