 Upon the responsibility of my medical testimonials

 my great success as a medical practitioner and the saluary and beneficial effects of my medicine stand or fall seek to deceive the public with an ar tice of whose component parts they are ignorant. What do the public know of the poisonous and de- suctive ingredients contained in the various pills and panaceas advertised throughout the Union The proprietors of such medicines know too well if the public were aware, that out of every ten pills they have swallowed, eight of them are Mercury, their trade was at an end. have analized most of the

 and otla adv thronohnnf the Unon and found them to contain, either corrosire sub,

 Endts or Calonlei. The reason is then obvious why these base imposers will not tell the component parts of their medicines. They pretend that they have dis covered the philosophers stone, and that you may live through countless ages, if you but swallow their medicine. l practice such deception My medi cine has stood the test of yearsit is recommended by the eminent of the medical faculty, and what

 is of more importance than all, canddly and hon. estly confess that my medicine is combination of

 Sarsapa,iHa, Lipesoort, Plet1isy Root, Lsnum Vifa, and one or two other ingredients. The only origin alty claim is in my peculiar mode of preparation 1t is true, has often been the wonder and amaze ment of my medical brethren, the astonishing cures performed in cases that were considered not within the powe of medical aid The whole mystery con- sisted in my using the medicine and this alone to the exclusion of all others and of the correct principles upon which diseases ought be treated It will not however be matter of surprise that such wonderful success should follow the of this medicine, when state the principles upon which ac.ed.

 The human body consists of solids and fluids. The former long structure is about one-fth. The lat ter or soft part five sxths. Man is linked together by number of organs so beautifully as to form per feet chain in the animal economy One link of which when of order diseased is sufficient to destroy the harmony of the whole These organs furnisi- ed with inumerabe blood vessels called arteries and veins, which have common centre The heart for propelling through them the blood nuirtve fluid to

 forced by the heart into the arteries, and after moist ening the most minute fbrss, it is received by the veins and brought again to tie heart, and performs again the round of the body, and so in succession The use of the blood is to receive from the amenta " canal the skin lungs, such matters is necessary for the nourshment of man, and to convey to every part of tic body for the purpose of repairing its waste and increasing it's growth. But if any efete, poson- foreign matter is carried into the blood several organs are provided the ivu, kidneys, skin and l4ags through which this poison is discharged from the blosd in the form of pile urine, precipitation and pulmonary exhalatiOn From this brisf sketch or mans formation, the intelligent reader easily derstand, how fever and inflammation is produced by the suppression of preparation, for fl perspration be arrested in consequence of cold, the perspirabe mat ter will mix with the blood and give TO inhama tion In like manner, if the discharge of bile be ar rested in it's flow from the liver it is taken into the circulation and gives rise to Jaundice, yellow fever, &c. All diseases have therefore one common origin, (not impurty of blood for that is only an eect) but

 in the obstruction of other of those three great outlets or common of the body, the bowels, skin and kidneys. .r'- ai zOi..a - l

 Reader, did you but know how feal fully and woun. derfully you are constructed-how beautifully the Creator of the universe has provided for your pre- servation and existence, independent of your will, then Sndeed would your admiration of the perfection of his mighty handiwork never cease. Dnring sleep, when yor mental faculties are nactiye and your soul appears to be in state of repose, then is the wise provision and oreknowlcdge of the author of nature made manifest. The heart continues to pour it's vital stream every part of the body-the lungs perform their oice-respiraton is continued, and the blood decarbonized-the skin pours out from its myriads or pores the poisonous matter of the blood-digestion continues and the nutritve particulars of food is carried into the blood for tee renovation of man. Were all the organs of the body, therefore under the control of the will, when we sleep, the heart would cease to pulsate, death would necessary conse- quence followthe lungs would cease to perform their office-suocation and death be the consequence, or digestion be interrupted, the effects which would be perpetual disease.

 who now offers for your benefit the result of his long and arduous labors. ask if you possessed watch of five dollars value and 1t was out of repair, would you take it to tinker to have it set in order No you would surely bring it to good watch-rnaker.-l How much more difficult then is the putting in order of the human body when out of repair. watch may stop, it be set going again-if mans machi nery once stops, it stops forever.
