substantial basis for its future support. II has OBJ
taned its present great distinction by the extraor-

been searched in vain for its parallel its discov-
cry is one Of the most sacred boons that can be
afforded to the unfortunate martyr of disease and
it is most sincerely hoped, that the sympathy OF
the public will be aroused to the promugation Of

its usefulness as general restorer of health, the
city Of Philadelphia alone could furnish thousands
of witnesses, 10 contradict the base and malicious
fabrcations which daily emanate from the jealous.
What, we would ask, can be stronger proof Of
great utility, than its success in the PENNSYI-
VANIA HOSPITAL, PHILADELPHIA AIMS

YORK PENlTENTIARIES, and in other pubs
institutions alike serviceable, where the eminent
skill which presides over them had been exhaust
in vain ; "Ihese facts speak trumpet tongued,
and cannot be gansam. 1t is much TO be lam
ented that there are so many spurious mixtures
manufactured in imitation Of this invaluable medi-
cine, some assuming to possess equal virtues, and
vended under the samo title others under differ
ent ttes-some have gone the daring extremity Of
reflling the old bottles with the labels on-whilst
others, to flch the public, have published for their
benefit the very certificates which the proprietor
Of the genuine Cathoiicon had obtained from
those who were cured by his medicine, Of various
distressing diseases.

Envy, Jealousy, and Fraud and thereby pre-
vented extending the usefulness of this great and
