Notice to the Sick and
Diseased.
DR. JnIlTHH@N9a
FROM BOSTON,
WOULD give notice, that he

w has made arrangements to tarry in
scarborough few months, for the accommo-
dat'on of those who wish to avail themselves
OF an opportunity to procure relief from pain
and disease. DR.. f. has acquired knowl-
edge of the practice of the celebrated DR..
SMITH, and will cure many OF the most formi-
dable diseases that exist, by the use of vege-
tables only. The Public are likewise inform
ed that he is authorized to use DR.. JENNINGs's
Patent Warm and Hot .Alcolic Yapour Bath.
This invention has been tried in the army and
navy, and in several of our hospitals, with un-
parallel1ed success, and is strongly recon-
mended by several of the greatest Physicians
IN the Union, by the Hon. Thomas Jefferson.
James Madison, the President of the United
States, and by thousands who have expert
enced its beneficial effects. DIR. Mitchell. of
New York, in letter to DR.. Jennings, saws.
Considering torpor of the skin to be a
cause or accompaniment of many diseases, and
that heat is the best of all excitants, am well
satisfied that your method of applying caloric
to stimulate the cuticular surface is happily
calculated to give relief in such cases, and
produce extensive advantages to the sick and
disabled in many other malades. have con-
sidered the spurious decomposition chemical
ly; have examined the metallic apparatus
mechanically; and have witnessed the &C
ton of the rariied yapours remedially. For
chllls, torpors, and that apathy and langour of
the cutlcular surface, it is preferable to any
other mode of applying heat. The warm
bath, warm lamentations, and the vapours of
hot water, are very inferiour to it. The pa
TENTS IN our hospital are exceedingly pl ased
with it, and, for myself, explain it, order it,
and recommend it, &C."
From the use of the bath, have not
doubt but that it will remove more diseases
than all the drugs exhibited by the Faculty
1t is most intalllble relief for any paln cspec-
tally that of the govt and rheumatism, and it
is so easy that people often fall asleep under
its operation. Those of the diseased who are
considered BY physicians as incurable, are in
vited to call and satisfy themselves respecting
the probability of being cured, as they can be
referred TO thousands who have been relieved
IN the most desperate cases.
Patients can have an opportunity Of
consulting DR.. Smith occasionally at my resi-
dence-where will be prepared and kept for
sale the following MEDICINES.

date relief in tooth-ache, pain in the stomach
