EXTRACT OF TOMATO.

l Ia N L
MAJ L feel il duty we owe to the pub
Wv lie to again call their attention 10
Ibis valuable medicine, and this we do Tor
the sake and benefit of our fellow creatures
Ilaboring under disease. The writer OF this
Ihhs suffered much from the free use OF cal
omel. lie believes 1t has been the mstrn-
ment ofsaving his life, intwo cases at least
but life is hardly worth preserving with DIS
ease and pain and suffering entaled upon
| il, through the self same instrument which
prolongs it; such has been his misfortune.
lie firmly believes the Tomato Medicine
contains the good properties OF the calomel
diyested of its deIeterons ones, and that 1t
NAV he relied upon 1T has been used by
himself and in his family for the bowel com
pIaint and riscerdl oJstructions, and with the
fullest success. Some physicians have as
serted. who by-the-by had not tested the
fact, that calomel is the prominent arilcl at
last, but this idea is losing credit very last;
The proprietors have offered one thousand
dollars reward to any one who will "proye
that Miles Compound Extrac: of Tomato
contains onc particle ofcalomeI or mercurl-
al preparation whatever" Persons familiar
with calomel know how to test it 10 GER
tainty. tELry
The Louisville Herald of July 8, has the
following remarks:
"ToMATo This vegetable which now
forms in its season one Of the greatest lllxu
ries that can be brought on1a table, has been
known as vegetable for only few years.
lis culture for culinary purposes was frst
commenced in this country, by the French
Hupuenot Refugees, by whom it was called
Pom de Amour, or Love Apple Besides
lis excellence for the table, it possesses
great medical virtues, particularly the small
uellop kind, an extract from which, ,prepar'
ed in peculiar manner, is said to produce
all the good effects of calomel and none ol
its evils, and as a medicine has been highly
recommended by eminent practitioners. Fol
ourselves we are decidedly opposed tC
ouackery and secret nostrums of all kinds
and believe that day has gone by when a
scientific practitioner Of medicine can with
propriety prescribe or recommend a medI
cine, the component parts of which he doe:
not know; when however medicine is pre-
sented, scientifically prepared, the compo
nent parts of which are freely made known
to all medical men and the medicine itsel
is recommended by men of science and pro
fessional skill, as discovery calculated tc
benefit mankind, It may with safety and
propriety be commended to the public--such
a medicine is Miles Compound Extract Of
Tomato which is now common prescription
given by many practitioners of high stand
ing. We have of late observed many no
tees of it.
