      tendons , and ligaments—nervous matter to the brain and nerves—cells to the lungs—linings to all the cavities ; parenchymatoua and investimg substances to the viscera ; coats , coverings , &c , to all the vessels ; hair to the head—nails to the fingers and toes ; urine to the kidneys ; bile to the liver—gastric juice to the stomach ; sinovial fluid to the joints—tears to the eyes ; saliva to the mouth ; moisture to the skin—and every necessary fluid to lubricate the entire framework of the system ; to preserve it from friction and inflammation . Now , if this important fluid becomes corrupt or diseased , and the secreting organs fail to relieve it of the morbid matter , the whole s \ stem feels the shock , and must sooner or later sink under it , unless relieved by the proper remedy . When this virulent matter is thrown to the skin , it shows its disorganizing and virulent influence in a multitude of cutaneous diseases , as salt rheum , scald head , erysipelas , white swelling , scarlet fever , measles , smallpox , chicken or kine pox , superficial ulcers , boil ? , carbuncles , pruritus or itch , eruptions , blotches , excoriations , and itching , burning sore 3 over the face , forehead , and breast . When thrown . upon the cords and joints , rheumatism in all its forma are induced ; when upon the kidneys , it produces pain , heat , calculi , diabetes , or strangury , excess or deficiency of urine , with inflammation and other sad disorders of the bladder . When carried to the bones , the morbid matter destroys the animal and earthy substances of these tissues , producing necrosis , i . e ., decay or uleeration of the bones . When conveyed to the liver , all forms of hepatic or bilious diseases are produced . When to the lungs , it produces pneumonia , catarrh , asthma , tubercles , cough , expectoration , and final consumption . When to the stomach , the effects are inflammation , indigestion , sick headache , vomiting , loss of tone and appetite , and a fainting , sinking sensation , bringing troubles and disorders of the whole system . When it seizes upon the brain , spinal marrow or nervoud system , it brings on the tic doloreux , or neuralgia , chorea , or St . Vitus' dance , hysteria , palsy , epilepsy , insanity , idiocy , and many other distressing ailments both of body and mind . When to the eyes , ophthalmia ; to the card , ottorrhasa ; to the throat , bronchitis , croup , &c . Thus all the maladies known to the human system are induced by a corrupt state of the blood . With no general remedy on which implicit reliance can be placed ss a purifier of the blood , disease and puttering , and consequent want , stalk unchecked and unsubdued in every hind in all the world . If there is arrest of action in any of the viscera , immediately they begin to decay ; if any lluid ceases to circulate , or to be changed for fresh , it becomes u mass of corruption , and u malignant enemy to the living fluids and solids . If the blood atugnateg it spoils ; if the bile does not pass oft ' , and give place to freah , it rota ; if the urine ia retained il ruius body mid blood . The whole system , every Bccretion , every function , every fluid depend for their health upon action , circulation , change , giving and receiving—and the moment these cease disease , decay , and death begin . In thus tracing the causes and manifestations of disease , we see how wonderful and mysterioiiB are tho ways of Providence in adapting the relations of cause und effect , of action and reaction , of life und death . All nature abounds with the truth tliut every active uubbtancc haa its opposite or corrective . All poisons huvo tlmir antidotes , and ull dincuBcu have their remedies , did wo but know them . Upon this principle wim Dr . Townaend guided in tho discovery of hit ) medicine . Prepared expressly by the old Doctor to act upon the blood , it is culculuted to cure a groat variety of diseases . Nothing- could bo better for all dim-imca of children , uu iiicuhIch , croup , hoopingcough , umall , chicken , or kino pox ; mumps , tjuiiiHy , wormu , scarlet fever , colds , coativeueBH , and feven » of ulf kiuduund , being pleuttuut to the tun to , thoru cun ha no difficulty in fretting- them to hike it .

      HEALTH WHERE 'TIS SOUGHT . HO LLOWAY'S PILLS . —Cure of a Case of Weakness and Debility , of Four Years' standing-. Extract of a Letter from Mr . William Smith , of No . 5 , Little Thomas-street , Gibson-street , Lambeth , dated Dec . 12 , 1819 . " To Professor Holloway , " Sir , —I beg to inform you that for nearly five years I hardly knew what it was to have a day ' s health , suffering from extreme weakness and debility , with constant nervous headaches , giddiness , and sickness of the stomach , together with a great depression of Bpirits . I used to think that nothing- could benefit me , as I had been to many medical men , some of whom , after doing all that was in their power , informed me that they considered that 1 had some spinal complaint beyond the reach of cure , together with a very disordered state of the stomach and Hvlm-, making my case so complicated that nothing could be done for me . One day , being unusually ill and in a dejected state , I saw your Pills advertised , and resolved to give them a trial , uioi'u perhaps from curiosity than with a hope of being cured , however I soon found myself better by taking- them , and sol wont on persever : ; ij » ii tneir use for six months , when I am happy to 8 ;» y they effectett a perfect cure , ('¦ Signed ) " WTLLIAM SMITH , " ( frequently called EDWARD ; .

      OtD BB . JACOB TOWKSEND'S C \ ENUINE OBIGINAL UNITED STATES ' \ J 8 AB 8 APARILLA . —In submitting this Sarsaparilla to the People of England , we have been influenced by the same motives which dictated its promulgation in America . This Compound Sarsaparilla of Old Dr . Townsend has " nothing in common with preparations bearing the name in England or America . Prepared by one of the noblest American Chemists , having the approbation of a great and re « pectable body of American Pbysicians "* nd Druggist * , universally adopted by the American people , anH forming a compound of all the rarest medicinal roots , seeds , plants , and flowers that grow on American soil , it it may truly be called the "< 3 rrfca ^ and Good American Bemedy . Living , as it were . amid sicknes % itnd disease , and studying its multitudinous phase ? and manifestations in Hospitals , Asylums , and at the bedside of the sick , for more than 40 years , Dr . Townsend was qualified , above all other men , to prepare a medicine which should perform a greater amount " N > f good than any other man now living . When received intoHhe stomach it is digested like the food , and enters into the circulation as the nutriment part of our aliment does . Its first remedial action is upon the blood . J . and through that upon every part where it is needed . It is i j tlhis way that this medicine supplies the blood with constituents which it needs , and removes that which it does not need . In this way it purifies the blood of excess of bile , acids , and alkalies , of pus , of all foreign and mar bid matter , and brings it into a healthy condition . In this way it quickens or moderates the circulation , producing coolness , warmth , or perspiration . In this way it is that this medicine is conveyed to the liver ,. where it allays inflammation , or relieves congestion , removes , obstructions , cleanses and heals abscesses , dissolves gummy or thickened bile , and excites healthy secretions . In this way , also , is this medicine conducted to the lungs , where it assuages inflammation , allays irritation , relieves cough , promotes expectoration , dissolves tubercles , and heals ulceratjons . In like manner it acts on the stomach to neutralise acidity , remove flatulence , debility , heartburn , nausea , restore tone , appetite , &c . In the t the uterus

      , , game way it acts upon the kidneys , on the bowels , on the uterus , the ovaria , and all internal organs , and not less effectually on the glandular and lymphatic system , on the joints , bones , and the skin . It is by cleansing , enriching , and purifying the blood that old Dr . Townsend ' s Sarsaparilla effects so many wonderful cures . Physiological science has demonstrated the truth of what is asserted in Holy Writ , that " the Blood is the Life . " "Upon this fluid all the tissues of the body depend for their maintenance and repletion . It carries to and maintains vitality in every part by its circulation and omnipresence . It replenishes the wastes of the system , elaborates the food , decomposes the air , and imbibes vitality from it ; regulates the corporeal temperature , and gives to every solid and fluid its appropriate substance or secretion—earthy and mineral substance , gelatine , marrow , and membrane to the bones—fibrine to the muscles , f " '
