principles have been united, is an apparatus cx-
qalsltcIy contrived to receive and transmit impI es-
SONS from external objects, and it is this vcr y sen
sliivcness which is the source also of much agony.
All the elements of disease and death may find
tnelr way into the system by innumerable agen-
clcs, and through every avenue Of sense. Among
the most attlictive and most common complaints
are eruptions, ulcers, rbeuinatism, general feeble
ness, dyspepsia, bilious affections, and a number of
others which hnd their way to their locations in
the system through the hood. In looking. for a
remedy, then, we must enhcavor to find something
that viii act upon this fluid. We have Sands Sar-
