Healthy and Impure Blood.
BY DR.. PRICE, }N


Among all the fluids of the body, there is none
of more Importance than the blood. It'll this fluid
which produces all the other fluids Of the BODY
which, when separated from the blood, are as con-
stantly expended to form the solids, which solids,
are constantly decOmpoSing and wasting away
TIE blood is that fluid which gives life md vitality
to every rtOn of amin ted natures and will like
wise diSsem mate the seeds OF dlseass, whenever
it shall become charged with morbid matter, and
likewise be the cause directly or Indirectly ofpro
ducing death therefore, upon its purity or impur-
ty, depends tie preservation Of health. the ex-
istence of disease The blood consists of two
parts the one watcry, serous, or thin part,--the
other the thick part, clot, when the thick pirt
abounds 1t requires to be attenuated; and when
the thin p1rt abounds, it requires consistency. A
free use of animal food charges 1t with humors,
and an entire vegetable dict renders it weak and
watery.
The substances produced by the decomposition
of the human body are lime, carbon, ammonia
mucous, hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbo ic acid gas
with several others, as water, bile. &c. In order
that these useless materials, which have subserv-
ed their Office in the animal economy, should be
properly eliminated from the system, the great
Architect of our organization has constructed US
with numerous cxcrctory organs, the skin,
lungs. bowels, kidneys &c. The healthy condit-
ion OF all these cxcrctory organs is OF much great
er importance than many imagine for the moment
they become inefficient in their action, torpid, irri
tated, or of an inflmatOry character, be assured
that disease has commenced in some location and
teuuires attention, or gradually must the health of
he system become undermined.
From various causes, the blood may become so
dcpraved that it becomes impossible for it to pro
ducc healthy solids; and although solids may con-
tinuc for time TO be formed from such blood. the
individual system throughout becomes weak,
sickly. ana iIc plble of acquiring vigor Or energy,
attended with nervousness, assitude, depression Ot
spirits, pains, rheum itisn, &c.
If one or5In Of tn b)dy be weaker in structure
thm 4, other, that orgln would be most likely o
become seriously diseased, in consequence OF its
inability resist the influence of diseased action,
particularly as tie Hood containing this morbid
matter OF course crcu!ates more sluggishly
through diseased and debilitatci Crgln. than
thr1u IN one which is healthy and sound, WHEREBY
time would be given for the bio ID 10 deposit in
such wcakeEc organ any morbid matter with which
it might be charged. 1t the blood he charged
with carbon and the lungs the weakest organ,
they would become inaamed. followed by deep
eated abcesscs, ulcers or vonica. Just so with
the kidneys. heart. or any portion Of the system
which was the weakest; let that weakness arise
from what cause it might. 1t the blood be too
highly ch ,rged with lime. and the lungs the weak
est, tuberces would form in them, rs tuberclcs in
the lungs are formed from carbonate and phos-
plate of lime, glued together by mucous. If the
liver weakest, hillary caIculi would form, and
in the kidneys, urinary calcuf. The same condi-
tons may take place from bile, ammonia, or o:her
improper articles charging the blood and the
symptoms in each one of the cists be precisely
alike. yet the conditions Of the disease, and the
remedies rcoi ircd for relief are as differen: in
evcrv respect it Is possible TO imagine. If the
blood is capable CT being charged with lime. car
bon. bile, mucous, &c. producing disease in the
weakest organ, hOwis it possible to compound any
one preparation capable OF subdung, benefiiinr,
even relieving these various conditions from which
disease may arse! Will an elect cease until
the cause is removed, and is it possible that all
these causes can be eradicated by the came

Os knowing what subst Ince chlrges the blood that
renders it impure. The ellitic man-he who by
analysis and other IN ans has rendered himself
familiar with the constituents OF the blood, knows
what lis constituents should be to render it healthy
and Can determine Immediately, by the tongue
itself what the morbid matter in the blood may be
which renders it Unhealthy. and If sufficiently
versed in chemistry, he would rs quickly perceive
what agent 10 make use Of, to expei the carbon,
from the blood, and the paIien. would quickly be-

toD far exhausted for TesuscitItion. We cannot
attach TOO much importance 10 the blood, as il
forms the entire humrn organization il is
able to conclude that If i. cIhtan only those con-
sttuents in their due proportion which all parts
OF the system require for their growth and susie
nance there can be no disease. On the contrary,
suppose the blood to be charged with foreign sub
stances, with putrcscent or etfete matter, or pos
sess some of its constituents in undue propotcn
what possibility would there be for such impure
blood to produce healthl The only medicines
that should be employed in any chronic disease
whatever, are thIse which will reach the primary,
or first cause. Tnat cIuse exists in the blood 4.
and no where else. Having ourselves anal wed
all the fluids and solids ofthe human body, both
in stale ofheith and disease, il is by no m ans
difficult for Us to understand when an organ is
diseased, and what that unhealthy condition of the
blood is which produces il. We arc thus prepared
TO select that article capable of char gng that con-
dtion of the blood and rendering IL healthy. The
blood will then impart the invigoratng and nutri-
tive principle to all parts of the system-and es
pecially to the affected part-and health rs a
