The preceding figure is given to represent
the INSENSiBLE PRESERVATION 1t is
the great EVACUATION for the impurities
Of the body. 1t will be noticed that lex
cloudy mist issues from all points Of the sur
face, indicates that this respiration flows
uninterruptedly when in health, but ceases
when we are sick. Life cannot be sustained
without it. 1t is thrown off from the blood &
other juices of the body, and disposes by this
means, of nearly all the impurities within us.
The language of Scripture is, In the BLOOD
is the Life Ifit ever becomes impure it may
be traced directly to the stoppage ofINsENSI
BILE PERSPIRAT1ON. 1t neuer requires any
internal medicines to ceanse it,asit always puri-
fes itself byits own heat and actor. and throws
off all the offending humors, through the IN
OiINSlDLEL LhSI INA lON nus we
see, that all that is necessary when the blood
is stagnant, or infected, is to open the pores
and it relieves isel from all impuritv instantly.
! Its own heat and vitality are sufficient, with
out one particle of medicine, except to open
the pores upon the surface. Thus we see
| the folly of taking so much internal remedies
The Thompsonian. for instance, steams, the
Hydropathlst shrouds us in wet blankets, the
Homopathst deals out infntissimals, the All
opathist bleeds and doses us with mercury, &
the clustering Quack gorges us with pills.
To give some idea of the amount of IN
SENSIBLE PERsPIRATION. we will state
that the learned DR.. Lewenhock, and the
great Boerhaave, ascertained that five-eighths
of all we receive into the stomach, passed off
by this means. In other words. if we eat and
drink eight pounds per day, we evacuated
five pounds Off by the lnsensible Perspira,
ton This is none other than the used up
particles of the blood and other juices, giving
place to the new and fresh ones. To check
this, therefore, is to retain in the system five
eighss OF all the vrulent matter tina: nature
| demands should leave the body. The blood
is of so active principle that it determines
| those particles to the skin, where they form
| scabs, pmples ulcers and other spots. BY a
sudden transition from heat to cold, the pores
are stopped, perspiration ceases, and disease
begins at once to develop itself Hence, a
stoppage of the flow of the juices, originates
so many complaints. 1t is by stopping the
pores that overwhelms mankind with coughs,
colds aud consumptions. Nine enths of tie
world die from diseases induced by a stoppage
of the INSENSIBLE PERSPlRATION-
Let me ask now, every candid mind, what
course seems the most reasonable to pursue, to
unstop the pores of the skin, after they are
closed Would you give physic to UNSTOP
the pores Or would you apply something
that would do this upon the surface, where
! the clogging actually Isl Would not this be
common sense And yet know of no ply
sician who makes any external application to
affect it. The reason assign is, that no med
icine within their knowledge is capable of do
! ing it. Under these circumstances, present
~ physicians, and to all others, preparation
that has this power to its fullest extent. 1t is

has POWER to restore persplraton on the
feet, on the head, around old sores, upon the
chest, III short upon any part OF the body,
| whether diseased slightly Or severely. 1t has
POWER to cause all external sores, scrofulous
humors, skin diseases, poisonous wounds, to
discharge their putrid matter AND then heals
them. 1t is a REMEDY that sweeps off the
whole catalogue OF cutaneaus disorders, and
restores the entire cuticle to its hesltey func-
tons. 1t is a REMEDY that forbids the ne
! cessity of SO many and deletersous drugs taken
into the stomach. 1t is REMEDY that nei
Their sickens, gives inconvenience, or is dam
gerous to the intestines. 1t preserves and de-
tends the surface from all derange ment of its
functions while it keeps open the channels
for the blood to void all its impurities and
dispose of all its useless particles. The sur
face is THE outlet of FIVE eighths of the bile
and used mp matter within 1t is pierced with
MILLIONS of openings to RELIEVE the in
testines. Stop up the pores, and DEATH
knocks at your door. l have used for it the
last fourteen years for all diseases ofthe chest,
Consumption, Liver, involving the utmost re-
sponsIbility and danger, and declare before
Heaven and man. that not III one single case
has it failed to benefit, when the patient was
within mortal means. l have had physicians,
learned in the profession; have had ministers
Of the Gospel, Judges on the bench, Alder
men and Lawyers, gentlemen of the highest
erudiion and mu'titudes ofthe POOR use it
in every variety Of way, and there has been
but one voice, saying, 'McAlster, your Oint>
ment is GOOD
For Consumption and Liver Complaint
there are no Balsams, Syrups, or other inward
remedies half as good The same is true in
cases of ScrgfulaErgsipelas, Salt Rheum, Dys-
pepsia Bronchitis, Clumsy Sore Throat: Piles,
Old Sores, Seedlings. Broken Breast, Sore
Nipples, Sore Lips. Chapped Hands, sc. For
Burns it has not its equal in the world.

will do little good. This salve if rubbed on
the temples Will penetrate directly into the

perspiration will be created and the disease
will soon pass off to the surface.
