The preceding figure is given to represent
the INSENSiBLE PERSPIRATION 1t i.
the great EVACUATION for the impurite,
of the body. 1t will be noticed that tlick
cloudy mist issues from all points of the sur

when we are sick. Lite cannot be sustained
without it. 1t is thrown off from the blood 8,
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

be traced directly to the stoppage ofINSENSI-
BILE PERspIRATION. II merer requires any
internal medicines to ceanse it,asit always puri.
fes itself by its own heat and action, and throws
off all the offending humors, through the IN
SENSIBLE PERSPIRATION. Thus we
see, that all that is necessary when the blood
is stagnant, or infected, is to open the pores
and it relieves itse!f from all impurity 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
Hydropathist shrouds us in wet blankets, the
Homopathst deals out infnitissimals, 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 PRESENTATION, we will state
that the learned DR.. Lewenhock, and the
great Boerhaave, ascertained that five-eighths
of all we receive into the stomach, passed of
by this means. In other words, if we eat and
drink eight pounds per day, we evacuated
five pounds of it by the Insensible 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 virulent matter that 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, pimples. ulcers and other spots. By a
sudden transition from heat to cold, the pores
are stopped, pers?iraton ceases, and disease
begins at once to develop itself Hence. a
stoppage of the Aow Of the juices, originates
SO many complaints. 1t is by stopping the
pores that overwhelms mankind with coughs.

world die from diseases induced by stoppage
Of the INSENSIBI.E PERSPlRATlON.-
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 doeAhis upon the surface, where
the cloggng actually is 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

feet, on the head, around old sores, upon the

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 REMEDY that sweeps off the
whole catalogue of cutaneaus disorders, and
restores the entire cutice to its healtey func-
tons. 1t is a REMEDY that forbids the ne
cessity OF so many and deletersous drugs taken
into the stomach. 1t is a REMEDY that nei.
