 My compound Extract of Sarsap~ rilla, Liverwort, Peurisy Root and Lignum Vita is the result of this long experience, and not the medicine of hours merely got up for humbug or deception. Upon the responsibility of my medical testimonials my great medical practitioner and the sal utary and beneficial effects of my medicine I stand or fall seek not deceive the public with an ar. ticle of whose component parts they are enorant- What do the public know of the poisonous and de- structve ingredients contained in the various pills and panaceas advertised throughout the Union The pro pretors of such medicines known too well if the pub lie aware that out of every pills they have swallowed, .eght of them Mercury, their trade was at an end. nave analysed most of the pills. and other medicines advertised throughout the Union and founf 9 to contain, either corrosipe s1blirata or Calod.s.

 The human body cosists of solids and fluids

 The former or long structure is about one .ffth- The latter soft part five sxtbs Man is linked to- gether by number of organs so beautifully arrang- ed to form perfect chain in the animal economy One link of which when outof order is sufficient to destroy ihe harmony of the whole. These organs are furnished with inn; merable blood vessels called arteries and veins, which have common cenre.- The heart for propeiling through them the blood nCtritiye fluid all parts of the system-be- ing furnished with valves which are all m one di- reclion, the blJo can only flow in u core espondi ne Thus it is forced by the heart into the arte- ries, and after mostenng the minute fbres it is received by the veins and brought again to the heart and performs again the round ofthe body, and so on in succession The use of the blood is to receive from the anentary canal the skin, lungs such mat. tcrs is necessary for the nourshment of man. and to convey to every part othe body for the purpose of reParng its waste, and increasing its growth. But Ii any effect poisonous foreign matter is car ried into the blood several organs are provided us the iver kidneys skin and lungs through which this poi is discharged from the blood in the form of bile urne,perspirailena and punonaryexhaation Frointhis brief sketch ofman sornation the eintegentreaderca easily understand, how fever and inflammation is pro- duced by suppression ol precipitation, for iperspira-

 Reader, did you but know how fearfully and won. deruly youare econstructed-how beauiifullythe Gre tor of the universe has provided for your preserva ton and existence, independent of your will then in deed would your admiration of the perfection of his mighty hand work never cease. During sleep when your renal faculties inactivc and your soul ap- pears be in of repose, then is the wise pro- vision and fore knowledge ofthe author onature made maifest. The heart continues to pour it's vital stream every part of the body-the lungs perform their ofice-respiraton is continued and the blood decarbonized-the skin pours out from its myriads of pore the poisonous matter of the blood-diges- tion continues, and the nutrtve particles of our food carried into the blood for the renovation of man. Were all the organs of the body therefore under the control of the will, when we slept the heart would cease to pulsate, death would necessary conse- quence follow--the lungs would cease to perform their oiice-sufocaton and death be the conseuuence or perspration digestion be interrupted the effects of which would be perpetual disease.

 Reader, you now know perhaps better than you ever knew before, the vast importance of keeping these organs necessary to life in healthy state You will also place less reliance on the pretensions of ignorant and uneducated men, especially when they attempt meddle with diseases they know noth- ing of.
