STATE BOTANIC INFIRMARY.
MONTPELIER, VT.

nOCTOR BENJAMIN THOMPSON,
~ proprietor Of the Concord Botanic Iniir-
mary, feeling deep interest in the cause OF
suffering humanity, and feeling determined TO
use his utmost eXertions TO complete that re-
form in Medical practice which has already 80
gluriousy commenced, has opened large cs-
tabishment in Montpelier, at the house of
Seth Kmball, on State Street, few rods east
Of the Pavilion.
The unparalleled success that has attended
his practice in New York, Boston, and Con-
cord, in which places he has had several thou
sand patients under his care, (moro probably
than any other practitioner in the civilized
world in the same time.) will be sufficient
guarantee oflho confidence of the intelligent
citizens Of Vermont. Those who are acquain-
ted with the 1'hompsoniun System Of practice
/ from personal knowledge need no CommCndu-
. ton gifts truly wonderful virtues. TO such il
is the anchor of hope-the most invaluable Of
earthly blessings. But with those who have
never had an opportunity OF witnessing its
health preserving and restoring influences, il is
I the part OF common sense and discretion, can.
diJly TO examine its claims, and not las has
too often been the caso) condemn the Botanic
Physician, unseen and unheard. The udvo-
Gates Of the system seek not to hide themselves
from public scrutiny, but solicit free and fails
ic with the Mineral practice. "IIe who en-
CAGES canddly in the investigation OF the sys.
tom will find its theory Of disease simple, ye-
supported by sound reasoning-its praciice
based upon, and in accordance with that thco-
nv, simple yet ciitcual, and the success that
has attended it is wonderful, beyond any thine
which as'preceeded it in The history Of med,
cine"
