poster. But it is fact demonsablc bv experienc
that combinations of medicine may be formed from Il
VEGETABLE KINGDOM, that will act so universally
the system, when taken seasonably and in utcious pr
portions to cre i'll nine out OF ten, all diseas
within the reacl. and power of medicine.
+, From tine well known and established reputation
l Caiomei, it has long been employed by the empir
and scentific physician, as one OF the most powarf
agents for the removal of disease. By the former,
most every land has been dclugct with nosrums, TN
their authors claimed specifics in every disease inc
dent to the human family. The folly of these prete,
sions needs comment, for accurate chemical inves
gaton has shown, that the base of most Of the Panaceas
Catholicons, &c. which have been trumpetted befor
the community, with much assurance is Calomei O
mercury in some form. Now, if this potent article
even in the hands of the most sku ply scian, treque
ly exerts influence the human system, unforeseen
and entirely beyond the control OF art; undermining til
constitution and bringing premature old age, tseas
and death, what result should be expected when pre-
seribed by the ignorant! Could their many thonsan
victims speak, voice from the tomb would ds,,e
he specific delusion that now SWAPS the minds of III
living.
Humane Physicians deplore the sad evils result,n
from the ncrcural practice, and will gladly hail the in
PRODUCTION of an article that safely be substituted TO
calomel. They feel, and that kesnly. the unceraint
OF ITS primary operations they cannot say whether it viii
be favorable untavorable They also k7,0lr and feel
that its is continued forany considerable time,
curious secondary consequences must follow But ,hc
must choose the least of two evils they know othc
article that will arouse torpid h1er, remove obstrlc
|
and it being indispensaby necessary to do this, the,
continue its use, Notwithstanding the evil consequences
which follow.
They have long desired and sought an article ,,a
would produce the good effects of this drug, wtlou
sujecting the patient to its deietelos results. Such
desideratum it is believed has at length been obtane
in the article now presented to the public.
The proplieors of this article keeping in view the
fact that mise aud beneuoient Being, has placed with
in the reach of ALL remedies adapted to the diseases u
cident to the climate they nhabit and knowing like
wise, that most of the diseases of the South and Ues
are base, upon organic or functional arrangement OF
the liver; directed their attention those articles which
act more especially on the hillary organs.
After long, laborous, and expensive research, they
have succeeded in extracting substance from the To-
MATO, which, from its peculiar effect upon the hepa-
tic or hillary organs they have denomnaed Hbat1e.
1t lisa medicae that will produce all the beneficial
results of Calomel in both acute and chronic Diseases
without the possibility of producing the eeriousde
sequences common to that article.
Its action upon the constitution is universal, no part
OF the system escaping its influence. 1t is, however,
upon the organs of secretion and eXcretion, that its
great power is particularly manifested hence ii is pc
culiarly adapted to the treatment of bilious ues and
other diseases in which torpidty congestion of the
liver and Portal circle prevail.
1t is admissible in all cases, where it is necessary

and other glandular vicera of the abdomen Being diff
usable iii its operation it produces free circulation
IN the vess.s on the surface OF the body accompanied
BY gentle persprtion 1t does not exhaust like ils-
tic purgcs still, its action is more universal and may
often be repeated merely with safety but with greas
ben, tit This becomes ndispensably necessary in case
OF long standing for in them intense temporary impress
slons made by strong medicines, seldom, il ever, do
good; but tend to njure the of the constitutions
1t is cleansing and purifying to the system, in
perfect harmony with the known laws of life, and is
undoubtedly OF the valuable articles offer
ed for public trial and inspection.

MILES, TOMATO MEDICINE.
The virtues of the Tomato, not only as delicious
vegetable for the table, but also medicine have for
considerable time past attracted no little attention Ii
has been believed to possess at-bilious qualities which,
they could be efcctuay extracted, separated from
the supertuons matter, would be Invaluable. This has
been characterized as bilious country. large portion
OF the d seases arise from disorered lives, from de-
engagements in the glandular system. This is especially
the case in the west, and still more the south. If
remedy, easy, safe eectua in its operations and leav
ing the constitution unimaired could be discovered for
bilious complaints this would unquestiolably be among
the most healthy climates liz the world.
Calomel has been the almost universal remedy for
diseases OF this character But 1t is remedy which
nothing but necessity should induce the OF. 1t may
be considered trespassing the province of another
profession TO speak OF this yet may be permitted 10
express our strong conviction that Caomel cannot be
used without injurious and lasting effects upon the sys
tenn, greater or less, according To the quantities taken,
and the frequency of its USE and the constitution the
patient. A substitute for this therefore, from the
getabie kingdom is a desderstum in this country.
Wcbelieve this tlesidcratum has been discovered in
he Tomato. Dr. Miles, of this city, aud his associates
with much labor and expense, as understand have
succeeded in obtaining such extract from this vegea
bic as it is hoed will be found an eecual substitute.
We have taken some iains to enquire among medical
u,In thor. rl,n ,.,1.,
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 produce healthy action OF the liver,
procuring bilious discharges when needed, and in some
Instances breaking up fcyers with certainty
and in shorter time than calomel: For sick or bilious
headaches, it has been found good remedy. Those
VINO have used 1t say that it does not produce the debili-
tatIng effects OF most other kinds Of pugve medicines
that there is no increased danger rem colts after its
use, and where large doses OF caome would be needed
ms operates without any danger OF the distressing and
injurious effects of caome when producing salvation
AS we have reason to hope from our investigation,
his extract OF the Tomato will prove Substitute 10
aome in great variety OF cases, we cam
ard it as blessing to the human family.
