tor in almost every part of the globe tor their ex-
traordinary and immediate power OF restoring per-
feet health to persons suffering under nearly every
kind of disease to which the human frame is liable

sufferers from the very verge of an untimely
grave, after all the deceptive nostrums of the day
had utterly failed and to many thousands they
have permanently secured that uniform enjoy
mont Of health, without which life itself is but
q martial blessing So great, indeed, has their
efficacy invariably and infallbly proved, that it

tracts from rare and powerful plants the virtues
of which, though long known to several Indian
tribes, and recently to some eminent pharmaceu-
teal chemists, are altogether unknown to the
ignorant pretenders to medical science and were
never before administered in so happily etiicacious
q combination.
The first operation is to loosen from the coats
of the stomach and bowels the various impure
ties and crudites constantly settling round them
and to remove the hardened fRces which collect
in the convo]utions of the small intestines Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind to produce habltual
Costiyeness with all its train OF evils, or SUI 1den
Diarrhaa with its imminent dangers This fact
is well-known to all regular anatomists who ex-
anime the human bowels after death; and hence

the ouack medicines of the age. The second
