HEALTHY AND IMPURE BLOOD.

HEALTHY AND IMPURE BLOOD.
Among all the fluids of the body, ther.
is none Of more Importance than ths
blood. 1t Is this fluid which produces
all the other fluids of the body, which
when separated from the blood are con.
stantly expanded to form the solids,
which solids are constantly decomposing
and wasting away. The blood is that
huld which gives life and vitality to
every portion of animated nature; and
Will otherwise disseminate the seeds of
disease, whenever it shall become cha7 Se6i
with morbid matter, and likewise be the
cause directly or indirectly of producing
death; tn srefore, upon its purity or i'm
purity depandsth the preservation OF health,
or the existence of disease. The blood
consists of two parts one watery,
serious, or thin part, the other the thick
part or cloth. When the thick
part abounds, it requires to be attenuat-
ed and when the thin part abounds, it
requires consistency. A free use of ami
NAL food charges it with humors, and an
entire vegetable diet renders it weak
and watery.
Inc substances produced by the de-
composition OF the human body are
lime, carbon, ammonia. mucus, hydro
gen, nitrogen und carbonic acid gas,
WITT seveal others, as water, bile, etc.
In order that these ueeless materials.
which have subserved their office in the
animal economy, should be properly
eliminated from the system, the great
archlctect of our organization has con-
structed us with numerous excretory
organs, as the skin, lung, bowels, kid
neys, etc. The healthy condition of all
thess excretory organs is of much greater
Importance than many imagine, for the
moment they became inefficient in their
action, torpid initiated, or of an iuham-
matory character, be assured that disease
has commenced in some location. anG re-
qulres attention or gradually must the
health of the system become under
mined.
From various causes, the blood may
become so depraved in character that it
become impossible for it to produce
healthy solids; and although solids may
continue for time to be formed from
such blood, the individual system
throughout becomes weak. s.ckly and in
capable of acquiring vigor, or energy,
attended with nervousness, laesitude,
depression of spirits, pains, rheumatism.
etc
Ii one organ of the body be weaker
In structure than another, that organ
would most likely become seriously dis
eased, In consequence of it's inability
TO resist the influence of deceased action,
particularly as the blood containing this
morbid matter of course circ1lstes more
singgishly through a diseased and de-
bilitated organ, than through one which
Is healthy and sound, whereby time
would be given for the blood to deposit
IN such weakened organ any morbid
matter with which it might be charged.
Ii the blood be charged with carbon
and the lungs the weakest organ, they
would become infamed, followed
by deep-seated assesses, ulcers or
vomina. Just so with the kidneys,
heart, or any portion OF the system
which was the weakest, let the weakness
ARISE from what cause it might. If the
blood be too highly charged with lime,
and the lungs the weakest, tubercles
would form from them, as tubercles
In the lungs are formed from carbonate
ana phosphate of lime glued together
by mucus.
Ii the liver was weakest, hillary cal
Gull would form and in the kidneys,
urinary calculi. The same conditions
nay take place from bile, ammonia or
'ther improper articles changing the
blood. and the symptoms in each one of
he cases be precisely alike, yet the con-
1ltlons of the disease and the remedies
'equired for relief are as different in
'very respect as it is possible to imag-
ne. Ii the blood is capable of being
charged with lime, carbon, bile, mucus,
'tc, producing disease in the weakest
'rgan, how is it possible to compound
my one preparation capable OF subdu-
ng, benefiting or even relieving these
'arlous conditions from which disease
nay arise? Will an effort cease until
he canse is removed and, is it possible |
hat all these cases can be eradicated by
he same agent? 1t is utterly impos-
lole, and contrary to we'll understood
natural law. None bat tie most ienor-
mt quack, or dishonest, avaric:c,4s medi- |
al speculator could conceive of such a
probability for one moment No person
an prescribe a remedy that will purify |
he blood unless he is capable of know
ng what substance charges the blood |
hat renders it impure. The scientific
nan he who by analysis and other
means has rendered himself fam liar with |
he constituents of the bood-knows |
What its constituents should be to rem
ier it healthy, and can determine imme-
iiately, By the tongue itself, what the
morbid matter 10 the blood may be
which renders it unhealthy; and il suffi
'iently versed 10 chemistry, he would |
IS quickly perceive what agent to make
Use of, to expel the carbon, lime, bile,
nucus CT other deleterious property
rom the blood, and the patient would
lnickly begin to recover from his disease,
De it what 1t might, unless the system
had previously become too far exhausted
,or resuscitation. We cannot attach too
much Importance to the blood; as it
forms the entire human organization, it
Is reasonable to conclude that il it con-
tain only these const tuents in their due
which all parts Of the system
require for their growth and sustenance,
there can be no disease. On the con-
trary, suppose the blood to be charged
with foreign substances, with putrescent
Or effete matter, or possess some OF it's
constituents in undue proportion, what
possibility would there be for s1ch i'm
pure blood to produce health? The only
medicines that should be employed in
any chronic disease whatever, are those
which will reach the primary or first
cause. This cause exists in the blood,
and nowhere else Having ourselves
analysed all The fluids aud solids of the
human body, both in a state OF health
and disease, it is by no means difficult
for us to understand when an organ is
d. eased, and what that unhealthy con-
dition OF the blood is which produces it,
We are thus prepared to select that
article capable of changing that condi-
tion OF the blood and rendering it
healthy. The blood will then impart
the invigc"ating and nutritive principle
to all parts of the system, and especially
