debilitated
they can with confidence offer a restoration of the

Proper remedial course, will renovate general health, and re-

It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to this
horrid disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men,

dimness of sight, noise in the ears, deafness, obstinate glees,
codes on the shin bones, ulcerated sore throats, diseased nose,
with nocturnal p:tilis in the head and limbs, till, at length, a
general debility end decay of the constitution ensues, and a me-
ancholy death r uts a period to their dreadful sufferings.
