NOTHING is of more Importance tina
the preservation OF health--this common laCep
remark however is TOO OFTEN FORGOTTEN
whilst we are active and strong--and pre-
vention of pain, which is superior to its cure,
is not sufficiently attended toby any descripti-
ON Of persons. Among those disorders which
REQUIRE the most early and unremitting eifo is
70 eradicate and oyerC ONE, none have strong
er claim upon our notice than the Govt, Rheu
matism, Lunlbago, Weakness of the Joints,
snrains, elects, the Stone and Gravel, the
Cramp aud every species Of Rheumatic Pains
from whatever cause they may have original
ed--and hence every relief which can be adj
ministered is too valuable to be forgotten.--
Those persons whose avocatlons peculiarly ex-
pose them to colds, &c. cannot be too anxious
always to possess immedla aid. Sea-tarlng
persons, travellers, &c. ought constantly to
carry with them that medicine which will
countcract the unpleasans effects OF their peri
Ious duties, and especially those pains to which
their situation must expose them. 10 those
who reside in or visit the West Indies, and
Their warm climates, theywill be found upon
trial to convey the most lasting service and
will gradually destlo, all tendency to disease
in the human frame, and preserve health and
vigor. Although a great variety OF prescrlp-
,ions have bee published to cure the dlsor.
ders enum Grated above, none has yet equalled
the GOUT AND RHEU MAIlC DROPS ot
DR.. TISSOT, which are ceIebrated through
