II DR. MILEs's ExTRAcT OF ToMAro.-This
medicine is rapidly gaining ground in all parts
Of our country, where ii has been introduced,
from it's positive effects IN various complaints.
| Many physicians have expermented with it.,
but from not understanding its therapeutic
effects, and observing It's searching opera
|itions in diseases Of the glands, liver and other
viscera liable to arrangement, suppose TINT
il contains mercury, and therefore use it with
caution. A few unwilling TO believe the
statement SO ohen reiterated, that it performs
/ the functions Of mercury without any of its
/ dangerous tendencies, have attempted to
decry it, But borne down with overwhelm.
ing testimony in opposition 10 this opinion,
they have resorted to the other extreme,
Eienher from avarice or to discTeda the medi.
cine, by fabricating u counterfeit of it, which,
L To make its effects q more close imitation
| probably does contain that mineral. TO re-
move this difficulty, il is said that the pro.
| prietor, DIR. Miles, has offered a reward of
h $1,000 to any chemist who would detec. the
least particle Of mercury, however small, in
his pills, sold BY himself or his agents. | am
also informed that this reward has been many
months before the public, and is kept up as
when first offered. but that no one has bee
able to claim it, though hundreds upon hnn-
dreds have vainly tried TO secure the pre-
MUM. This affords the strongest possible
evidence that the medicine is all that it is
| rcprescntcd-A SUBSTITUTE FOR cALomEL.--
because from the lips Of its de,ractors we
have the proof That it does perform the func-
ions of calomel, and yet If ii did contain
calomel, any tyro in chemistry has tests c.
nough at hand to detect il. The facts stated
have forced the conviction of many to the
beliel:-which hundreds of physicians in the
South and West are ready to prove
/ ]. That the tomato medicine of Dr. Miles
| contains no calomel.
H =. That its effects upon the liver. gandular
| system, and the visccra Of the abdomen gen.
orally, are the same as mercury, but without
its dangerous results.
II 3. That from its scdative and searching
| operations, and its anti dyspeplic qualities
its effects upon the nerves and the ornen,a-
ry organs are intellectually favorable.
| 4. That its benefits in the sick headache
are grcuter than any medicine known-prob
ably from the cause last stated.
/ ). That this medicine is never drastic oI
weakening, but always leaves the bowels il
a healthy and natural condition, being mil,
aperient.
6. That in diseases of the skin, being
powerful diaphoretic, its effects are highl,
beneficial in removing scorbutic and oihe
hunors in producing healthy action OF
the cuticular morbific tendencies, where con
gestion and the torpidity of the extreme YES
sells are to be overcome, and by producing
change in tho system, softncss Of the skin
and a mild pcrspiIation.
II z. That it is q universal stimulant, ever,
vessel, nerve and fibre Of the body being
+ brought under its influence, and also that j
Is les. liable TO induce debility and irritabili
ty than any active medicine known.
3. That II protuces no salvation, howeve
exciting it's power on tho glandular system
or whatever its energy Oh the disordcred vis
