Advice to those in Search of Health
BY DIR. PRICE.

The peculiar character Of diseases, in the var
lous localities through which we have passed,
could not fail to strike an attentive observer. In

aud unnatural exctaton of the excreting organs,
the skin, bowels, and kidneys--prevailing to a
great extent Irregular diaresis, proiuse morbid
perspiration, perspiraton at all, and u loose
or constipated state OF the bowels tOget er with

liver, the most important organ Of the body, was,

to raise the seige at once, and by Applying such
remedies as viii reach the cause Of the disease,
