 My Compound Extract of Sarsapariila, Lirer1cori, Pleurisy Root and Lgnam Vita is the result of this long experience, and not the medicine of an hours considerations merely got ap for humbug or deception Upon the responsibility ot my medical testimonials
 my great success as medical practitioner, and the sautary 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 proprietors of such medicines know too well if the public aware, that out of every ten pills they have swallowed. eight of them Mercnp- iheir trade was at end. have anaiiZed most Of the pills and other medicines advertised throughout the Unon and found them contain, either corrosive sub Hmate or Caismel. The reason is then obvious why ,s fell nt 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 telI medicine. 1 practice no such deception My medi- cine has stood the test of years-it IS recommended by the most eminent of the medical faculty, and what is of more importance than all, canddly and hon estly confess that my medicine Is combination o SarsapanLa, Liuetoort, Piemisy Root, Lignam Vita and one or two other ingredients. The only origin ality claim is in my peculiar mode of preparation It is true, it has often been the wonder and amaze ment of my medical brethren, the astonishing cures performed in that were considered not within the pow, 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 IL will moi however be matter of surprise that such wonderful success should follow the use of this medicine, when l state the principles upon which acted

 by number of organs 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 are frnisl- ed with numerabe blood vessels called arteries and veins, which have I common centre. The heart for propelling through them the blood or nritye 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 it is forced by the heart into the areres and after moist enin he nlOs mi is lly 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 anenta- " canal the skin lungs, such matters as is necessary
 for the nourishment of man, and to convey it to every part of the body for the purpose ofrepairing its waste and increasing it's growth. But if any efete, poson- ous foreign matter is carried into the blood several organs are provided the hvr, kidnsys, skin and lungs through which this poison is discharged from the blood in the form of pile, urine, precipitation and pulmonary exhaation. From this briof sketch oI mans formation the intelligent reader easily un- derstand, how fever and inflammation is produced by
 the suppression of preparation, for if precipitation be arrested in consequence of cold the persprable mat will mix with the blood and give rlse to infama- 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.

 Reader, did you but know how feal fully and wor,r. deriully you are constructed-llow beautifully the Creator of the universe has provided for your pre- servaton and existence, independent of your will then indeed would your admiration of the perfection of his mighty handiwork never cease. During sleep, when ynr mental faculties inactive. and your soul appears be in state of repose, then Is the wise provision and foreknowledge of the author of nature made manifest. The heart continues to pour its vital stream to every part of the body-the lungs perform their ofce-respraion is continued, and the blood decalbonzedtlie skin pouIs out from it's myriads or pores the poisonous matter of the blood-dgeston continues and the nutrtye particulars of food is carried into the blood for tee renovation of maa.- Were all the organs of the body, therefore, under the control of the will, when sleep, the heart would cease to pulsate, death would necessary uuence follow-the lungs would perform their oiiice-suiocaton 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 a healthy siate You will also place less reliance the pretensions of ig nolant and uneducated men, especially when they att tempt to meddle with diseases they know nothing of. You will likewise appreciate the services of the skill ful medical practitioner who has labored for IS years in the study of science through all it's mnutia, and who offers for your benefit the result of his long and arluous labors. 1 ask if you possessed watch
 
 you take it to tinker to have it set in order No; you would surely bring il to a good watch-naker.- How much difficult then is the putting in order of the human body when out of repair. A watch may stop it can be set going ayain-if mans machi- nery once stops, it stops forever. No human power again set 1t in motion.
 You may always expect fever and ill-health to follow the stoppage any of the secretions. If except, says Van Swienten, those who perish violent death and such exnguished by old age, all the rest die of inflammation, caused by suppression of one or the other of the secretions. Pny describes the the Romans had of this disease, and of their applications in the Temple of Faun for the removal of all obstuc- lions to the natural outlets of the body. Sickness therefore cannot unless other of those outlets obstructed, except in disease dependent upon SD sic coniagon, such smallpox, measles, Nenerea N. and these diseases only cured by in creasng the natural secretions. When you labor der disease, matter of what nature, whether malig nant otherwise, and you take Caomel from physician, does he not always ask you, are your bow els freeis perspiraton rees the secretion of urine abundant--or, f you have pala, what ask you are tions are duly performed. If they well perform ed then your doctor is puzzled to the nature of your disease. Iflhey are not duly performed, he then removes any obstruction. This is the great secret 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 medi- cnal articles calculated to remove instructions, and act al the same time upon all the secretions. There are many valuable articles in the matera medica that will upon the liver Administered alone, but when combined with others to act upon the kidneys, they become neutralzed. The concentrated eryact 0f Sar- saparia, Liueworh, Plsurisy, Root aud Ligmun Nta, prepared by me, is the only combination yet discovered that possessed this inestimable quality, which has been testified by most medical men in En- gland For full account of the properties of these plants must refor the reader to my prize Essay of 40 pages, published in the New England Medical and Surgical Recorder will enumerate few only of the diseases in which this medicine showed it's mira cuous powers-C Consumption arising from cold, or
