ing upon the Turkish empire or Egypt, I beg of them to
have propagated, free of expense, in those countries, as I
have not the least doubt that it would cure the plague and
most other inflammatory complaints, if applied in its early
stages. Not having seen the plague, I can give no certain
rules for its use, tit is always best to begin with washing
the crown of the head, and if the throat and mouth are
sore, gargling the throat and washing the mouth, as well as
filling the ears one after the other, and letting it remain
for fifteen or twenty minutes in each ear. The patient ought
to drink two table spoonfuls, diluted with hot water, every
two or three hours, or even oftener, as the case may require,
and also the parts discoloured or inflamed should be fomented
with it. _ _ _

For those countries where inflammatory fevers and cholera
are prevalent, the same method of treatment will do. Sore
throats and inflammation of the brain are often the accom-
paniments of such disorders, and the administration of the
remedy should be prompt and incessant in all possible ways,
and if professional gentlemen are not at hand, no one ought
to be afraid of administering it, as they may be sure it will
do no harm.

ADDRESS TO MISSIONARIES.

Missionaries ought to get a knowledge of it. I have not
.he least doubt that.if all missionaries had a good knowledge
of it, and applied it without divulging its component parts
and the manner in which it is made, it would enable them to
make a great many conversions, and with greater facility ; it
is so very prompt in its operations, as to have the appearance
of a miracle, particularly ►n acute complaints, such as in-
flammation either in the brain or bowels ; with this in one
hand and the gospel in the other, I have not the least doubt
but that in time, the iron hound empires of China and Japan
will be entered, and even the monarchs converted by its in-
strumentality. But care should be taken that none but men
of high courage and talent should be employed in the work,
and not till they have got a perfect knowledge of its capabi-
lities, which can only be had by experience; but no one
should be afraid of using it.
Omissions in former publications—l neglected, when I first

published an account of this remedy to explain that it ought to
be used perfectly clear; that after the component parts were
put together they ought be well shaken for several minutes,
and after left to clear; but let them always remain in the
same bottle. The clear part only should be applied, as the
particles of salt cause pain and irritation ; when clear it gives
no pain except upon open sores, and that is only momentary.
METHOD OF MAKING THE REMEDY.

Fill a bottle three-quarters full with brandy, after which
add as much salt as will fill the bottle for corking; shake it
together ten minutes before it is used ; let the salt settle to
the bottom, and be particularly careful to use it when clear—
the clearer the better. Many persons have made a great
mistake in shaking it up before it is used. The efficacy is
not near so great, and to open sores the application is much
more painful from the particles of salt which are not dissolved
in the brandy, but the salt and the brandy should remain to-
gether, and when all the brandy is used off, more may be
added to the salt. Though it is ready for use in. twenty
minutes after it is put together, it is good at any time after,
and it is a perfect medieinP rare aualipv of
,medclous for either internal or externa ap-
plication.
In conclusion, I beg to say to all, that this address is made
for no other purpose than to do good. I should wish it not
to do injury to any man, or any class of men, but as it is
calculated to be of great benefit to the mass of mankind, I
hope that it will be considered in that light.
I am sincerely their servant,
WILLIAM LEE.
