Cause and EffeCf.

WHAT'S the avEage weight Of the human body
One hundred and fifty pounds.
What props rtion do the solids besrto the fluids?
AS one to four, or thirty pounds of the former
10 one hundred and twenty pounds of the LATER.
Are the solids formed hom, and by, ,hs Auids
Yes: The great orginiatoI of life is he circula-
ting fluid, by which every part of the system I'D,
nourished and sustained.
Does tbs heal;hfullness of the solids depend
on the healthfuIness of the fiuidsa
Certainly, In the same manner that the quail
ty Of Q building depends on the quantity of the
materials Of which il 10 built.
What cause tends 20 produce disease in the
fuidse
These ore Of two kinds: predispositing and
Immediately.
Explain.
The prcdispnsing causes are improper food, and
AR, too Iitte too much exercise, mental GnSs-
ETY., and last, though not least, (as being more
prevalent than any other cause in the Western
States.) absorbing deleterious gases, the product
OF deeaying vegetation. These predisposing caus,
es induce torpidty Of the excretory organs, which
last is the immediate,cause Of all our complaints.
Please 10 illustrate.
The cireu aIIng fluid families to every part Of
the system; 10 penetrates the bones, it sicuIates
in the nerves, il peTvades the brain,--in fact,
every fibre of every muscle, ligament and tendon,
from the sole of the foot to the crown ofthe head
hence when a worn out atom loses its affinity for
the fbres TO which it formerly belonged, il Is
ried eff by the blood, and its place supplied by
new atom from the me fluid. In health these
worn out particles are carried by the blood to
the several emuhctories, aud there discharged
from the body.
What do you mean by the emunetory?
The several outlets Of the system, thro' which
its decayed parts evacuated; the principle of
| these are the skin, the kidneys, and the bowels.
The liver might we'll be considered one of the
emunctories, for all though il discharges itself in
10 the bowels, yet, as the secretion which it sep
araIes from tho food is evidently composed of
worn out atoms, and disease is sure to follow the
shutting up or its outlet it is certainly inter-
nal emunctorY.
Illustrate, if you please, the more immediate
| cause of disease!
When the above mentioned outlets are obstruci-
| ed, the decayed and WON out atoms, instead of
being evacuated, are thrown by the blood on some
of the vital organs,producing in ths manner every
| variety of human malady.
! What organ is most liable 70 arrangement in
| the western States!
The Liver. 1t is the peculiar business of the
liver to separate from the blood substance cal
led gall or bile. This is undoubtedly an impurity
itsalf, although in the economy Of nature il is
| made to subserve the evacation Of other impuri-
ties, by stimulating the bowels discharge their
feculeut contents A reservoir for the deposition
of bilious matter is provided III the gall-badder,
from which it should be regularly discharged: but
when not so discharged it's contents became acrid
| and poisonous. This state of the bileis the I'M
MEDIATE cause Of all our western diseases.
Is there no method of Obviating this state OF
things?
Frequent purgations, with vegetable medicines
| is the only remedy.
1t is a matter of indifere what kind of med.
icine we use, provided they are vegetable!
By no means; nature has provided medicinss
| in every cou ntry suitable for the cure of such
disease as are incident to that Country.
What popular remedy is best fitted to meet
\ theOe indications in these western States?
The GREAT WESTERN or COMPOUND
MANDRAKE PILLS, as they are a happy
combination of western herbs, prepared expressly
| for the cure of western diseases.
viii these pills cure all diseases?
PurgatioI, with a proper medicine fitted by
natural affinity to our constitutional IRREGULARITIES
can lone cure any disease, and if escorted to in
time, would cure every disease
Will isolated or occasional doses Of the Great
| Western Pills remove the cause of our western
fevers?
Occasional doses during health will proven,
the accumulation of the in the gall-bladder,
but when the accumulation il alseady Effected
| they must be taken regularly every night, unit
| the poisonous bile is all evacuated.
viii not this steady purging produce weakness
True weakness in caused by morbid matter
obstructing the free circulation OF the life-gvng
current; the Pills, by removeing this morbid
matter, actually imparts strength by taking away
the CAUsEof WEAKNESS.
In wha1 particular are these pills superior to
al Others that have ever been offered 10 the
public?
That, instead Of producing copious watery
stools, which dsbilitate without corresponding
benefit, they carry off nothing save bile aLt
other Impurities.
How shall we ascertain this TO be the truth
BE- taking when ndisposed two CT three doses
and examining the appearance ofthe stools.
How shall! we satisfy ourselves that there is nc
| calomel in them?
By weighing dose Of The Pills. when 10 will b.
evident that rlsir whole weight Of calomsl woulC
not move the bowels al all. Furthermore, lht
Proprietor agrees to pay $500 to any chemis
who can prove by aualization that there is in tn
pills the smallest portion Of any mineaal what
ever.
