Cai0Mlel, it has long been employed by the empric
and scientific physician as one of the most powerft
agents for the removal of disease. BY the former, al
most every land has been dcuged with nostrtlms, tn.
their authors claimed specifics in every disease Incl
dent TO the human family. The folly of these preten
sions needs comment, for accurate chemical investi
cation has shown, that the base OF most of the Pances
C;tholicons &c. which have been trumpetted bcior
the community with so much assurance, is C0lome,, o
mercury in some form. Now, if this potent article
in the hands othe most skiltu physician, frequent

and entirely beyond the control OF ar undermining tn
constitution, and bringing premature old age diseas
and death, what result should be expected when pre-
scrbed by the Ignorant Could their many thousan
victims speak, voice from the tomb would soon dispe

| Humane Physicians dcplore the sad evils resulting
from the mercuria practice and will gladly hail the in

They have long desired and sought an article tina

dcsideratum it is believed has at length been obtaeu
IN the article now presented to the public.

Alter long, aborous, and expensive research, they
have succeeded in extracting substance from the TO
MAIO, which, from its peculiar effect upon the epn
tic or hillary organs. they have denomnatcd Wbatine
1t sa medicine that will produce all the beneficial
results of Caomc in both acute and chronic diseases
without the possibility Of producing the iecrousdc tcon

MILES, TOMATO MEDICINE.
The virtues Of the Tomato, not only as dci'e'nus
vegetable fer the table, Int also medicine, have fol-
considerable time past, attracted no little attention 1t

il they could be eituelily extracted, separated from
the supertinDrs natter, would be invaluable. This has
been characterized as bilious country large portion
OF the d eases arise from sovcre, lives, from de-
rongcnens i'll TIC gladulr system. This is especially
the in the west, and sill more the south II
remedy easy, safe, cectua ia its operation, and leay-
in, the constitution unimaircd could be discovered for
bilious complaints this ould unqucstonably be among
the most healthy climates in the world.
Caloncl has been the almost universal reno dy tm
diseases OF this character But it is remedy whicl,
nothing but nccessit, should induce the Of 1t may

express our strong conviction that Gaome cannot he
used without injurious and lasting effects upon the sys-
tenn, greater Or less, according TO the quantities taken,
and the frequency OF its use aud the constitution the
patient substitute for this, therefore, from the We
getable kingdom is a deslderatum in this country.
Nebeeye this desidera,nm has been discovered in
he Tomato DR.. Miles, of this city and his associates
with much labor and expense, we understand, have
succeeded in obtaining such extract from this yesela-
bic as, it is hoped, will be found cectua substitute.
We have taken some pains TO enquire among medical
men and others who have used this medicine, as to its
effects, and feel well satisfied that it will prove a
most valuable remedy in bilious complaints. So far as
we have been able to learn it has produced the desired
effect operating to produces healthy action OF the liver
procuring bilious discharges When needed, aud III some
instances breaking up fcvers with certainty
and in shorter time than caioncl: For sick or bilious
headaches, it has been found good remedy. Those
who have used it say that it doesno produce the debil-
tng effects of most other kinds OF purgat>e medicines
that there is increased danger iren colds after ITS
use, and where large doses of caomc would be needed
this operates without any danger Of the distressing Ahd
injurious effects OF caomc when producing salvation
AS We have reason TO hope from Investigations
his extract of the Tomato will prove sulslbtllle IL
aome in a great variety OF eases,
ard it as blessing to the human family
lnV PERFECTLY safe and free lrom all miner is
that we speak of it, aud we trust that iisurpno
fully tested by families. We have every asal subt
