 -my great success a medical practitioner, and the sautary and beneficial effects of my medicine stand or fall seek not deceive the public with an ficle of whose component parts they are ignorant What do the public know of the poisonous and de- structye ingredients contained Tn the various pills and panaceas advertised throughout the Union The propretors of such medicines know too well if the public aware, that out of every ten pills they have swallowed, eight of them are Mercury, their trade was at an end. l have anaZed most of the pills, and other medicines advertised throughout the Unon and found them contain, either coTrosre SEb Innate or Caiond. The reason is then obvious why these base imposers will 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. 1 practice such deception My medi- cine has stood the test of years-t is recommended by the eminent of the medical faculty, and what is of more importance than all, l candidly and hon estly confess that my medicine is combination of Sarsapanila, LineTtDort, Pleurisy Root, Lgnum lnd, and one two other ingredients. The only origin ality claim is in 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 considered not within the pow, of medical aid. The whole mystery sisted in my using the medicne 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 ac.ed.
 Srhe human body consists of solids and fluids. The former or long structure is about one-hh The lat ter or soft part five sxtls. Man is linked together by number of organs so beautifully as 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 whole These organs furnish- ed with inumerable blood vessels called arteries and veins, which have a common centre. The heart for propeling through them the blood nuritive fluid 10 all parts of the system from the heart being furnished with valves which ali in direction, the blood can only flow in corresponding course. That 1t IS forced by the heart into the areres and after moist
 tba io al hu inc veins and brought again to the heart, and performs again the round of the body, and in succession. The of the blood, is to receive from the almena " canal the skin lungs, such matters is necessary for the nourishment of man, and to convey il to every part of the body for the purpose ofrepairg it's waste, and increasing it's growth. But if any efete, poson- ous or foreign is carried into the blood several organs are provided the iper, kidneys, skn and lungs through which this poison is discharged from the bloed in the form of pie, urine precipitation and pulmonary exhalation. From this briaf sketch oI mans formation, the intelligent reader easily un derstand, how fever and inflammation is produced by the suppression of perspration, for if precipitation be arrested in consequence of cold, the persprable mat ter will mix with the blood and give ndama- tion 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 Jaundice, yellow fever, Sc. All diseases have therefore common origin, (not impurity of blaod for that is only an eect but
 m the obstruction of other of those three great outlets common nf the body, the bowels, ar's and kidnevs
 .-steauei, uu you how feai fully and woun- nerfully you are constructed-htw 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 During sleep, when yor mental faculties inactive, and your soul appears to be in state of repose, then is the wise provision and ioreknowedge of the author of nature made manifest. The heart continues to pour its vital dream to every part of the body-the lungs perform heir office-respiraton is contnued and the blood decarbonzed-the skin pours out from it's myriads pores the poisonous matter of the bood-digeston continues, and the nutritive 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 sleep, the heart would cease to pulsate death would a necessary conse- quence folow-the lungs would cease perform their offce-snliocation 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 necessary to life in healthy state. You will also place less reliance the pretensions of g- norant and une,lucated men, especially when they at tempt to medde with diseases they know nothing of. You will likewise appreciate the services of the skill fu medical practitioner, who has labored for IS years in the study of science through all it's minua, 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 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 is the putting in order of the human body when out of repair. watch may stop, it can be set going agan--if mans machi- nery once stops, it stops forever. No human power can ever again set 1t m motion

Plny describes the terror 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 other of those outlets obstructed, except in disease dependent upon 3D. sifc contagion, such smallpox, measles, venerea As. and these diseases only cured by n creasing the natural secretons When you labor un- der disease no matter of what natire whether maig- lant or otherwise, and you take Calome from d | physician does he not always ask you, are yonr bow els ree-s precipitation free-is the secretion ofurne abundant-or, if you have pain what ask you are those enquiries, but merely to ascertain the secre- tions are duly performed.
