 What do the public know of the poisonous and de- srtctye ingredients contained in the various pills and panaceas advertised throughout the Union The proprietors of such medicines know too well fl the public were aware, that out of every ten pills they have swallowed, eight of them are Mercury, their trade was at an end. I have anazed most of the

 aad fhrnuuhnut the Unlon and found them to contan either corrosire sub- Innate or Caiomd The reason is then obvious why these base inposers 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 ther medicine. 1 practice such deception My medi- cine has stood the test of years-t is recommended by the most eminent of the medical faculty, and what is of more importance than all, candidly and hon. estly confess that my medicine is a combination of Sirsapariaa, LireiOort, Pleurisy Root, Lsnum Vita, and one or two other ingredients. The only origin aiitv claim is in my peculiar mode of preparation. 1t Is true, it has often been the wonder and amaze meat lf my medical brethren, the astonishing cures performed in cases that were considered not within the pow, of medical aid. The whole mystery con- sisted in my using the medicne and this alone to the exclusion of all others, and of the correct principles upon which diseases ought to be treated. It will not however be matter of surprise that such wonderful

 

 I state the principles upon which ac.ed

 The human body consists of solids and fluids. The former or long structure is about one-ffth. The lat ter or soft part five sixths. Man is linked together by number of organs beautifully to form per- feet chain in the animal economy. One link of which when out of order diseased is sufficient to destroy the harmony of the whole These organs firnlsh- ed with inumerabe blood vessels called arteries and veins, which have common centre. The heart for propellng through them the blood nutrtlye fluid to all parts of the system from the hear; being furnished with valves which are all in one directon the blood can only flow in corresponding course. That it is forced by the heart into the arteries, and after moist enng the most minute fbrss, it is received by the yeias and brought again to the heart, and performs again the round of the body, and so on in succession The use of the blood, is receive from the almenta " canal the skin ungs such matters as is necessary for the nourshmen of man, and to convey il to every part of the body for the purpose of repairing it's waste and increasing its growth. But if any effete, poison foreign matter is carried into the blood severa organs are provided as the iper, kidneys, skin anr lungs through which this poison is discharged iron the bosd in the form ofpile, urine, precipitation anc pulmonary exhalation. From this brief sketch o mans formation, the intelligent reader can easily un derstand, how fever and inflammation is produced by the suppression of preparation, for precipitation bt arrested in consequence of cold, the perspIrabe mat ter will mix with the blood and give rise to infama. ton. 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 mpurity of blood for that is only an eec) but in the obstruction of other of those three great outlets or common sewers of the body, the bowels skin and kidneys.

 Reader, did you but know how feai 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 indeed would your admiration of the perfection of his mighty handiwork never cease. During sleep, when ynr mental faculties inactive, and your soul appears to be in state of repose, then Is the wise provision and foreknowledge of the author of nature made manifest. The heart continues to pour its vital stream to every part of the body-the lungs perform their oice-respiration is continued, and the blood decarb0nized-the skin pours out from its myrlads 0l pores the poisonous matter of the bluod-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 de control of the will, when sleep, tbe heart would cease to pulsate, death would as necessary conse- quence ioow-the lungs would cease to perform their stice-sutfocation and death be the consequence, precipitation or digestion be interrupted, the effects which would be perpetual disease.

 Reader, you now know perhaps, better than you ey- CT knew before the vast importance of keeping these organs SO necessary to life in healthy state. You will also place less reliance on the pretensions of g norant and uneducated men, especially when they att tempt to medde with diseases t,ey know nothing of You will likewise appreciate the services of the skill

No human power can ever again set it in motion.

 YoI may always expect fever and ihealth to follow the stoppage ofany ofthe secretions If we except, says Van Swienten, those who perish violent death, and such as are extngushed by old age, all the rest die of inflammation, caused by suppression of one or the other of the secreons. Plny describes the terror the Romans had of this disease and of their applications in the Temple of EaIn for the removal of all obstuc- tions to the natural outlets of the body. Sickness therefore cannot occur unless one or other of those outlets a obstructea, except in disease dependent upon sA siRc contagbn, such smallpox, measles, venereal and these discusses are only cured by in- creasing the natural secre0ons. When you labor un- der disease, no mattersf what nature, whether nalg nant or otherwise, and you take Calomel from a physician does he not always ask you, your bow els free-is precipitation frees the secfetion ofurne abundant-6r, if you have pain,, what ask you are those enquiries but merely to ascertain if the secre- lions are duly performed. If they well perform ed then your doctor is puzzled as to the nature Of your disease. Ifthey not duly performet he then removes any obstruction. This is the great secret of our profession, and thus we define reputation when we only assist nature in restoring the natural lions, the great difficulty in the practice of medicines VAS he proper application of combination of medi- eiaa articles calculated remove instructions, and
