A SUBSTITUTE FOR cALoMlI.
| fHFlE doctrine promul gated with so much ass,lranc,
u by many empires of The present day, that 0n- me
d'cine will cure all diseases, is not, and never can b,
true; and he who asserts it, is either a fool or an i'm.
postor. But it is a fact demonstrate by experience
that combinations Of medicine may be formed from the
VEGETABLE KINGDOM, that will act so umiversallay or
the system, when taken seasonably and in judicious pro
portions .as to cure, Ill nine cases out Of ten, all diseases
within the reael. and power of medicine.
From the well known and established reputation of
Calomei, it has long been employed by the empire,
aud scientific physician, as one oil the most powerful
agents for the removal Of disease. BY the former, al
most every land has been deluged viii, nostrums, that
their authors claimed as specifics in every disease Incl
dent to the human family. The folly of these pretcn
sions needs no comment, for accurate chemical investi-
CATION has shown, that the base of most of the Panacess,
Catllolicons, &c. which have been trumpetted before
the community, viii, so much assurance, is CahmeL or
mercury in some torin. Now, if this potent Mrticiee
even in the hands of the most skilful physician, freuueut-
ly exerts an influence on the human system, Unforeseen,
and entirely beyond the control OF art; undermining til,
constitution, and bringing on premature old age, disease
aud death, what result should be expected when pre-
scrlbed by the Ignorant Could their many thousand
victims speak, a voice from the tomb would soon disuel
he 'sbecifc' delusion that now sways the minds of the
living.
Humane Physicians deplore the sad evils resulting
from the mercuriai practice, aud will gladly hail the in-
PRODUCTION of an article that can safely be substituted for
calomel. They feel, and that keeuiy, the uncertainty
OF ITS prlmar, operation; they cannot say whether it will
be favorable Or mtavorable. They also knov, and feel,
that il It's use is confined for any considerable time, in
FURIOUS secondary consequences must follow. But they
must choose the least OF two evils: they know no other
article that will arouse a tortid Huer, remove obstrtc-
ton, and set in free action the whole glandular system,
aud it being indispe's,bly necessary to do this, they
continue its use, Notwithstanding the evil consequences
which follow.
They have long desired and sought an article that
would produce the good effects of this drug, without
snhjectlng the patient to its detetetoHs results. Such a
desideratum, it is believed, has at length been ohtalne.'

wise, that most of the diseases of the South aud Hest
re based upon organic Or functional arrangement of
the liver; directed their attention to those articles which
act more esp tcrally on the biliar, organs.
Alter long, laborions, and expensive research, they
have succeeded in extracting a substance from the To-
MAlO, which, from its peculiar effect upon the hepa-
lie or hillary organs, they have denominatel HebaHHe.

results of Calomel, i'll both acute and chronic diseases,
