Cause and Effect.

WHAT'S the average weight Of the human body2
One hundred and fifty pounds.
What proportion do the solids beeTto the fluids2

Are the solids formed from, and by, thee fluid
Yes: The great originator of life is he circulas
ing huid,by which every part of the system Is built
up, nourished and sustained.
Does ths heal;hfullness of the solids depend
on the healthfulness of the fluids?
| Certainly, In the same manner that the quail
ty Of building depends on the quality Of the
materials OF which il is built.
What cause tends to produce diseuse in the
fluids?
These are of two kinds predisposing and
Immediately.
Explain.
The prcdispnsingcaus are improper food, and
AIR, too little or too much exercise, mental

prevalent than any other cause in the Western
States.) absorbing deleterious gases, the produc
ofdecaying vegetation. These predisposng caus-
es induce torpidity Of the excretory organs, which
last is the immediate cause of all Dur complaints.
Please to illustrate.
This circu atIng 6uid iamifes to every part OF
the system; it penetrates the bones, it sicUiates

| is constantly surrounded by the sanguine fluid;
hence when worn out atom loses its affinity fol
the fbres to which il formerly belonged, it IS
ried eff by the blood, and its place supplied by
| new atom from the same fluid. In health these
| worn out particles are carried by the blood to
| the several enunctories, and there discharged
| from the body.
What do you mean by the emunctory?
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 he considered one of the
emunctores, for all though itdischerges itself in
TO the bowels, yet, as the secretion which it sep

worn out atoms, and disease issure to follow the
shutting up Of Its outlet, tits certainly inter

illustrate, you please, the more immediate
| cause OF disease?
When the above mentioned outlets are obstruci-
| ed. the decayed aud WON out atoms Of matter,in
stead of being evacuated, are thrown by the blood
on some of the vitalorgans, producing in his man
| ner every variety of human malady.
| What organ is most liable TO arrangement in
| the western States?
The Liver. 1t is the peculiar business of the
liver separat e from the blood substance cal
led gall or bile. This is undoubtedly an impurity
| Itself, although in the economy Of nature it is
| made to subserve the evacatInn of other impuri-
ties by stimulating the bowels to discharge Their
feculent contents. A reservoir for the deposition
Of bilious matter is provided in the gall-bIadder
from which it should be regularly discharged: bu
| when not so discharged its contents became acrio
| and poisonous. This state OF the bile IS the IN
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.
| Ii is a matter ofindiference what kind Of med.
icine we use, provided they nre vegetable?
By no means; nature has provided medicines
| in every country suitable for the cure of such
disease as are cideDt To that county.
What popular remedy is best fitted to nee.
| these indications i'll 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 wastern diseases.
Will these pills cure all diseases?
Purgatioh. with proper medicine fitted By
natural affinity to our constitutional IRREGULARITIES
can lone cure amy disease, and if iosorte II in
time, would cure every disease.
| Will isolated or occasional doses of the Grea
| Western Pillsremove the cause of our western
| fevers2
Occasional doses during health will prevent
the accumulation of the cause in the ll-bladder
out when the accumulation is already effected /;
| they must be taken regularly every night, until
| the poisonous bile is all evacuated.
| Will not this steady purgng induce weakness.
| TrIe weakness in caused by morbid smatte
obstructng the free circulation of the life-givna
current; the Pills, by removeing this morbid
! matter, actually imparts strength by taking away
the CAUsEof WEAKNESS.
In what pa rticular are these pills superior to
| al others that have ever been offered TO the
public?
/ That, instead reproducing copious watery
stools, which debilitate without corresponding
benefit, thcy carry off nothing save bile and
| other impurieties.
How shall we ascertain this to be the truth
BY taking when indisposed twocr three doses
and examining the appearance ofthe stools.
| How shall we satisfy ourselves that there is no
calomel in them!
By weighing dose of the Pills. when it will be
evidentthat their whole weight OF calomel would
not move the bowels at all, Furthermore. The
