dcine will cure all diseases, is not, and can be
true and he who asserts it, is either fool or inn

that co5inuers of medicine may be formed from the
VEGETABLE KINGDOM, that will act universally on
the SYSTEM when tax seasonaby, and in udicous pro
portions AS cure, nine out OF en all diseases
within the reacl, and power Of medicine.
From the well known and established reputation of
CaiomeL it has long been employed by the empire,
and scientific physician as one OF the most powerful
agents for the removal OF disease. BY the former al
most every land has been deuged with nosrums that
their Authors claimed specifics in every disease incl
dent to the human family. The folly of these preten
sions needs no comment, for accurate chemical nvest
cation has shown that the base of most Of the Panaces
Caholicons, &c. which have been trumpetted before
the community with much assurance, is Caomel
mercury in some form. Now, if this potent articlee

and entirely beyond the control OF art; undermining tn,

Humane Physicians deporc the sad evils resulting
from the mercura practice, and will gladly hail the in

to and in free action the whole glanular system,
and it being ndispens,by 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
subjectng the patient its delee,1ous results Such
dcstetatum is believed has at length been obainel

The propretors of this article keeping in view the
fact that aud Jeneroien Being, has placa with

cident to the climate they inhab; and knowing ike
wse that most of the diseases of the South and Hest
based upon organic functional arrangement OF
the liver; directed their attention those articles which

After long, labOrlous, anti expensive research they
have succeeded in extracting substance from the To-
MATO, which, from its peculiar effect upon the hepa
tic hillary organs they have denomnated Lcbutine.
1t is medicine that will produce all the beneficial
results of Calomel in both acute and chronic diseases,
without the possibility of producing the leerousde tcon
sequences common to that article.
Its action upon the constitution is universal, part
of toe 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

other diseases in which torpdy or congestion OF the

NILES TOMATO MEDICINE.
The virtues OF the Tomato, not only rs delicious
vegetable for the table but also medicine, have for
considerable time past, attracted no little attention. 1t
has been believed possess ant-blous qualities which,
ii they could be etectally extracted, separated from
the superiluons ,ater would be invaluable. This has
been characterized bilious country A large portion
OF the M seases arise from dsorLcred veIs, from de-
engagements in the ganular system. This is especially
the in the west, and still more 30 a, the SOUTH II
remedy easy, safe, eiectal i" its operation and leav-
ing the constitution unimpaircd could be discovered for
bilious complaints, this would unqnesonably be among
| the most healthy climates in the world
| Calone has been the almost universal remedy for
diseases of this character. But it is remedy which
nothing but necessity should induce the Of 1t may
be considered esassng the province OF another
profession speak ot this, yet may be permitted to
express our strong conviction that Calone cannot be
used without injurious and lasting effects upon the sys-
TEN, greater Or less, according to the quantities taken
and the frequency OF its use, and the constitution OF the
patient substitute for this, therefore, from the
getable kingdom is a desi'leratum in this country.
We believe this desideratum has been discovered in
he Tomato. Dr. Miles, Of this city, and his associates
with much labor and expense as we understand, have
succeeded obtaining such extract from this regeta
bic as, it is hoped, will be found etecua substitute
We have ken m tn ulrn onlD
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
have been able to learn, has produced the desired
effect operating to produce healthy action Of the liver,
procuring bilious discharges when needed, and III some
Instances breaking up evers. with more certainty
ant, in shorter time than calomel: For sick Or bilious
headaches, 1t has been found good remedy. hose
who have used say that it does produce the debli
tang effects of most other kinds of pugative medicines
that there is increased danger rem colts after Its
use and where large doses of calome would be needed
this operates without any danger Of the distressing and
injurious effects of calomel when producing salvation
AS we have reason to hope from our investigation,
his extract of the Tomato will prove subslbtlte TO
aomel in great variety OF cases, cam o
