MILES, COMPOUND EXTRACT OF
TOMATO.
A SUBSTITUTE FOR cALoMEL.

by many empires of The present day, that one me-
dicine will all diseases, isno and be
true; and he who asserts it, is either fool m-
postor But it is fact tlemomtrable by experience,
that combinations of medicine nay lie formed from the
VEGETABLE KINGDOM that will act universally on
the ystem when taken seasonabl, and in udcious pro
portions to cure, in nine casesout OF ten, all diseases
within the reach and power Of MEDICINE.
From the well known and established reputation of
Calomek it has long been employed by the empric,
and scientific physician rs one Of the most powerful
agents for the removal of disease. BY the former, al
most every land has been deuged with nostrums, that
dent the human family. Tie folly of these preten
sOns needs comment, for accurate chemical nvesti
cation has shown that the base Of most OF the Panaceas
Catholcons, sc. which have been trumpetted before
the community with SO much assurance, is Cdfoet or
mercury in some form. Now, if this potent articlee
in the hands Of the most skilful physician, frequent
ly influence the human system, unforeseen,
and entirely beyond the control OF at undermining til,
constitution and bringing on premalure old age diseases
and death, what result should be expected when pre-
scribed by the Ignorant Could their many thousand
victims speak, voice from the tomb would soon dspel
he specific deluson that now sways the minds Of the
living.
Humane Physicians deplore the sad evils resulting
from the mercural practice, and will gladly hail the in
PRODUCTION of article that safely be substituted for
clomel. They feel, and that keeniy. the uncertainty
OF its prma operaton they say whether it will
be favorable untavorabe. They also ko1v and feel,
that il its is continued for any considerable time, in
furious secondary consequences must follow But they
choose the least of evils: they know other
article that will arouse torpid liver remove obstruc-
ton, and set in free action the Wilde ganduar system,
and it being indspens>bly necessary to do this, they
continue its use, notwithstanding The evil consequences
which follow.
They have long desired and sought article that
would produce the good effects of this drug without
sujectns the patient its deleteous results Such
deslderatum it is believed has length been obtaineus
in the article now presented to the public.
The proprieors Of this article keeping in view the
fact that wise and beneu0lent Being has placed with
in the reach Of ALL remedies adapted the diseases in
ci'ent to the climate they mhabt aud knowing, like
wse that most of the diseases Of the South and Hest
are based upon organic Or functional arrangement OF
the liver; directed their attention those articles which
act esp ycialy Oh the hillary organs.
After long, laborous, and expensive research, they
have succeeded in extracting substance from the To-
MArO, which, from It's peculiar effect upon the hepa-
tic or hillary organs, they have denominated Hebatne.

results of Caome, in both acute and chronic diseases,

diseases of this character. But 1t is remedy which
nothing but necessity should induce the use Of 1t may
