"DEAn SIR-Agreeableto your request I have with
difficulty procured and now send you by the ship Jason,
Capt. Robertson, a few pounds Of Poladelphis, or what
generally goes by the name OF India Extract, q medi.
cine universally esteemed among the people of India,
for the cure of Rheumatism. Was ] to inform you Of the
number of people who are daily relieved and cured by
this valuable remedy, it wouldrequire more paper than
| am able to purchase, and more time than am able to
bestow. Indeed, the effect of this Medicine is so i'm.
mediate, that in RHEUMATISM you would in some cases
suppose it acted almost like a charm in removing that
painful disease. The difficulty, however in procuring
the Extract, will, for many years, retard its general cir.
c~ulation. 1t being obtained from a Shrub growing OH
the Mountains of TIBET, in the BermanE Empire of India,
and held in so much repute BY the Notires, that to part
with il, is like parting with their existence" The usual
mode oftaking' it sin the form Of Pills. I shall use
all my endeavors to send you a constant supply.
Since the proprietor has received the above Medicine,
he has put it up il boxes made for the purpose, con-
tanning sixty pills, with a bill Of directions and a certif.
cate Of its being genuine, signed in his own hand writ
iny-and in order to show its vast importance, has
thought proper to submit for public inspection, a few
out Of a vast number of Certificates from people who
have been cured by it in Europe and America.

Extract of q Letter from a respectable Physician in Bed
ford County, State Of Pennsylrania, to the aget Of
the proprietor.
There is inmy neighbourhood a gentleman who has
been heavily afflicted with Rheumatism for many years.
He has been using the Panacea, to the amount of six or
seven bottles without any effect; on seeing the PoladeL
phis advertised, he got friend. to call ut Mr.. Desilver's
book store, in Market street, for a box ofthe pills which
he is using, and receiving much benefit from it; and l
am of an opinion that one or two boxes more will pro-
duce a radical cure. l believe it to be valuable medicine.
