MONTPELIER. VT.
'CTOR BENJAMIN THOMPSON,

nOCTOR BENJAMIN THOMPSON,
~ proprietor of the Concord Botanic mfr
mary, feeling deep interest in the cause Of
suffering humanity, and feeling determined to
use his utmost exertlons 10 complete that re-
form in Medical practice, which has already so
glorously commenced, has opened large es-
tablishmont in Montpelier, at the house OF
Seth Kimball, on State Street, a 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 timc,) will be sufficient
guarantee ofthe confidence of the Intelligent
citizens of Vermont. Those who are acqualn-
ted with the Thompsonian System Of practice
from personal knowledge need no commcnda-
ton ofits truly wonderful virtues. To such it
is the anchor Of hope-thc most invaluable Of
earthly blessings. But with those who have
never had an opportunity OF witnessing its
health preserving and restoring influences, it is
the part ofcommon sense and discretion, can.
didly TO examine its claims, and not las has
too often been the case) condemn the Botanic
Physician, unseen and unheard. The advo-
Gates Of the system seek not to hide themselves
from public scrutiny, but solicit free and fails
discussion, and fair comparison OF the Botanr
ic with the Mineral practice. Gle who en-
cages candidly in the investigation OF the sys-
ten will find It's theory of disease simple, ye-
supported by sound reasoning-its practicet
based upon, and in accordance with that theo-
ry, simple yet efirctual, and the success that
has attended it is wonderful, beyond any thing
which has'preceeded it in the history Of med-
cine"
