part of the country. A remedy for
this disease has come to our knowledge,
and one which we have proved by nu-
rnerons experiments to be etfectual !;
and we deem it duty which we owe
TO the community to make it as public
as we can. We have no particular
knowledge in the healing art, nor do we
pretend to be the discoveries ofthis rom
edy. but having tried it in various ca
ses, and experienced its beneficial eff
fects, we do not hesitate to recommend
it, with confidence, to such of our fel.
low citizens as may be afflicted with
this tedious and disagreeable COM
plant; and if the prescription is prop-
erly pursued, we will venture to pro-
mise cure, after one days use Of it, or
two at farthest.
Take one portion of powdered rhu-
barb, and two equal portions of the
best Peruvian bark. and mix them in
French brandy, or good old whiskey,
to the consistency of thin cream-bran-
dy, is preferable, Take as much as
the patient can bear, from the third of
wine glass to full glass according
to the age of the patiently four or five
times day. For child it should be
diluted with water. A little spice may
be added to make it more palatable. Ii
the bark should act too powerfully on
the bowels, diminish the quantity.
The best bark should always be pro
cured-there is great difference in
the quality, as well as the price of this
