TO SEAMEN.

Thousands of unfortunate seamen are render
cd useless to their country by the ravages of a
devouring disease, to which they are more SUBJ
iect than any other class of -,en. The case of
an unfortunate sailor who either embarks in a
diseased state, or finds himself so, on long
voyage, must be truly deplorable; and it may
not, perhaps, be improper to suggest the pro-
priety of always including the Catholicon in
the medicine chests Of the Navy and Mer
chants service, it being sovereign remedy in
the disease alluded to.
TO SOUTHERN PLANTERS.
The Vegetable Catholicon is peculiarly adj
apted to those diseases which are prevalent "a
mong the colored population OF the south. In
that disease which is called laws, 1t Is sure
remedy; single trial of it will convince plant
ers of its superior efficacy to any remedy OF a
similar nature in the United States. They
should never be without it.
