MILES, TOMATO MEDICINE.
Tie virtues of the Tomato, not only delicious
vegetable for the table, but also medicine have Tor
considerable time past attracted little attention. 1t

the supcrhnors natter would be Invaluable. This has
been characterized bilious country. large portion

the case in the west and still more the south. Ii
remedy, easy, safe, ciIcctual lis its operation and leav
ing the constitution unmpared, could be discovered for
bilieus complaints, this would nnVucs'ionaby be among
the most healthy climates III The world.
Caomel has been die almost universal remedy for
diseases OF this character. But II is a remedy which
hoti nut Necessity should lNuuCc c use o. IL may
be considered as treSassng the pro, nce of another
profession to yak Ut this, vet may he permitted TO
express our strong conviction that Calonel cannot he
used without injurious and lasting effects upon the
TEN, greater or less according to the quantities taken,
and the frequency OF its use, aud the constitution itbe
patient. A substitute Ior this, therefore, from the
gctablc Kingdom is desideratum ia this country.
Webelieve this dcsdcrat,m has Lecn discovered in

with much labor and expense UNDERSTAND have
succeeded in obtaining such extract from this yese,

We have taken some pans to enquire among medical
and others who have used this medicine, TO its
effects, and we feel well satisfied that it will prove
most valuable remedy in bilious comp ainIs. SO .
we have been able to learn, IT has produced he desired
