THE LlVERWORT.
0fths National htelEgeneer:

cula,on 10 important discoveries made in the
healing art. | beg your indulgence TO state,
for the good Of the public, that, since the win
ger of lS24-5, I have had three violent attacks
of an information of the liver, each suisse
auent attack worse than the former; that have
thrice undergone salvation; 10 the manifest IN
Jury Of my constitution; that, soon after the
effect of the third salvation was wearing OH,
had an addition 10 my Affections, Of the most
painful kind, viz. bleeding from The lungs; to
che the progress Of which, the first remedy
resorted TO, was that recommended by the
Immortal Doctor Rush, swallowed as niue h
fine sal, as nv situation would admit OF. This
generally checked the bleeding for season.
/ also has recourse 10 blood letting from the
arm, TO the apple alton Of leeches on my breast,
and 10 cupping: all of which, | know, by expe-
rience, TO be serviceable for time. ! have al
SO submitted 10 blisteriag, which afforded some
relief In fine, from my first attack, till recent
", was under the full impression that the
breas, or lung consumption had taken fast hold
on me, Notwithstanding my family physician,
Doct Jones, assured me To the contrary, repeat
ediy, 70 whose opinion | now gladly assent.
AS soon as | saw Doctor Hereiord's publica-
ton of the bens6eial effects produced by the
drinking of the Liverworttea, determined to
give the Liverwor' fair trial in my case, & ac-
cordingly procured supply which have ased
for near three months as my only drink noarish-
ing liquids excepted. Since | commenced
drinking the Liyerwort tea, | have had no
return Of splitting Of blood, and my strength
has rapidly improved. When call 10 mind
my former situation, as before described, under
- the operation of salvation, blistering, the use
Of the lancet, and all the accompanying attend
ans Oh debiitated constitution, not the least
of which was the danger Of suanghug, from
the great quantity OF blood issuing from the
lunqs--to relieve ne Of which thirty eeches
have been applied TO my breas, at one time,
and thiI,y-niue incisious made On my breast
TO- ,he use ofthe cuppiug MISUNDERSTANDING
experienced all this distress, and infinitely more
than can describe, during the pas, Spring and
Spmnsrn Gas stisH s ae T asPddhn IS,
and now 10 find myself free from this alarming
visitor, and all the other evils brought in ITS
train, such as ieeches, cupping, Sc.-the whole
benefit resulting from the use Of the Liverwort
tea, Qor period but little over two moaths, J
with my health and strength greatly improv-
ed--impalts 10 me felicity truly gratifying
and which | desire TO make known, for the be-
neft Of all who may be similarly sfected. All
such exhort 10 give The Liverwort tea a fair
trial, and be attentive 10 their diet: tor have
the best ground for believing that it was re-
served for the LiverwoIt. through he bies ing
of Divine Providence, 10 do for me what all
other expedients had failed to effect And,
from the experience have had Of this healing
plant, am Of the opinion tina, all those afflrct-
ed with tina, distressing complaint, the ob,truc-
lion Of the urinal passages, should drink freely
of the Liverw0rt tea: for il acts powerfully on
the kidneys and those passages. They certain
ly would find it to their id, an,age. In conclu-
sion, would observe, that have, for The las
sixteen months, rigidy adhered TO milk diet.
i have drank the Liverworl tea IN its cold state,
as advised by Decor Hereford, and have abs
stained from all teas and cofftes in warm state,
and all other stimulating draughts, Of every
kind. JOHN CONNELL.
