BEWARE OF CouNrERrEIrs,

A LMOST every system of medicines that die
- world has ever produced-and there have
Deen many OF them-has proved less beneficial
than the practice which leaves to nature the per.
torrance OF cure. The true philosophy of dis
ease, and its treatment, seem never 10 have been
discovered by the legal1eG pSofesson or legalized
emplrlcism. But, they have allowed the most
beautiful and important science which the human
mind can cultivate 10 lie buried under acrude and
undlgested mass OF materials, collected Through
many centuries by superficial observers and WIS.,
ionaIy theologists. The language of medicine
mas been vague and inaccurate, often used to OBJ
scure the most simple truths, and 10 give to mere
fiction OF the imagination the appearance ofreality
so mysterious has been the practice of physic in
all ages, that even philosophers of reputation have
regarded medicine as deceitul art, the empire of
wnlch was founded. and its existence continued
solely on the credulity and weakness of man. They
tell us that nature has placed in all her works the
means OF restoring order, and when these means
are Inefficient the pretended resources of medical
men are wholly useless. The secret springs of the
human frame are, say these philosophers, entirely
too much yelled from our view 10 ascertain the trne
causes OF their arrangement. Opinions like these
| have heenspread abroad among INTELLIGENT men,
| They were the natural result THE system of En-.
pircism that existed in the profession. Some en-.
cine in much the same light
THE BRANDRETH PILLS are the longest
known, have been most considered and are the
best understood Of all the medicines of the day
neT aCtloh llaTIAonlzeS WIN the condition OF the
| body II the bowels are merely .cestiye-if it is
tnly irreguarity of diet that reouires correc
ton, two three four pills. taken at night, or any
time during the day, will seldom be felt after they
are swallowed, until they produce their own effect
But should there be crude matters lin the circu.
lation, or any nndgested food in the bowels, or
putrid, acrid bile in the region of the. heart or
liver, or in any part of the viscera, then the pills
of DR.. Brandreth may occasion some slight incon.
venience; but nothing in comparison to the great
good they do in removing the Death. principle out
of the.system. For when we are born. we bring
into the world our Life principle, ana also that
which must terminate our being.

PHILOSOPHY OF FARMING.

Here is the secret of good tarming.-You can
not take from the land more than you restore to it
IN some shape or other, without running it, and so
destroying your capital. Different soils may re-
qulre different modes Of treatment and cropping :;
but In every variety of soil there are golden rules
70 attend to. Drain until you fad that the water
that falls from the heavens does not stagna.e the
soil, but runs through it and off it freely. Turn
it up, and till the land until your foot sinks into
loose, Powdery loan mat the sun and air will
readily pass through. Let no weeds occupy
