EXTRACT OF TOMATO.

NNZ Il feel il a duty we owe to the pub
w lie to again call their attention [,
this valuable medicine, and this we do fo
the sake and benefit of our fellow creature,
laboring under disease. The writer of tbi.
has suffered much from the free use of cal
omel. He believes it has been the instru
ment of saving his life, in two cases at least
but life is hardly worth preserving with dis.
ease and pain and suffering entailed upon
1t, through the self same instrument which
prolongs IT; such has been his misfortune.
lie firmly believes the Tomato Medicine
contains the good properties of the caomel
d'Vesied OF us deIeterious ones, and that it
may be relied upon. 1t has been used by
himself and in his family for the bowel com
plant and riSceral ObSfructions, and with the
fullest success. Snme physicians have as
serted, who by-the-by had not tested the
fact, that calomel is the prominent article at
last, but this idea is losing credit very fast.
Inc propuetors have offered one thousand
dollars reward to any one who will "prove
that Miles Compound Extrac; of Tomato
contains on particle ofcalomel or mercuri-
al preparation whatever" Persons familiar
with calomel know how to test il 10 a GER
taintv.
The Louisville Herald of July 3, has the
following remarks:
"FoMATo This vegetable which now
forms IN lis season one Of the greatest luxu
rIes that can be brought on a table, has been
known as a vegetable for only few wears.
lis culture for culinary purposes was first
commenced IN this country, by the French
Huguenot Refugees, by whom it was called
rom dc Amour, or Love Applo. Besides
IT'S excellence for the table, it possesses
great medical virtues, particularly the small
yeHo~ KIND, an extract from which, prepar.
ed IN peculiar manner, is said to produce !
all the good effects of caIome and none ofl
Its evils, and as a medicine has been highly
recommended by eminent practitioners. For
we are decidedly opposed to
quackery and secret nostrums of all kinds.
and believe that day has gone by when a
'cientlhc practitioner Of medicine can with
oroPnety prescribe or recommend medi-
'lne, the component parts Of which he does
not know; when however medicine is pre-
'enied, scientifically prepared, the compo-
lent parts OF which are freely made known
o all medical men and the medicine itscIfI
$ recommended by men of science and pro-
essonal skill, as discovery calculated to
'eneht mankind, IT may with safety and
'roprlety be commended to the puhlic--such
medicine is Niles Compound Ertrdd of
onlGfo which is now a common prescriniion
'lven by many practitioners of high stand
ng' We have OF late observed many no
ices of it.
