The virtues OF the Tomato, not only " delicious
vegetable for the table but also medicine, have ior
considerable time past, attracted no little attention. Ii

remedy, easy, safe eectua in its operation and leav-

bilious complaints this would unqucstirnably be among

Calomel has been the almost universal reIntd y for
diseases OF this character But it remedy which
nothing but necessity should induce the Of 1t may
be considered trespassng the province of another

express strong conviction that Caomel cannot be
used without injurious and lasting effects upon the sys-

We believe this desideratum has been discovered in

with much labor and expense, as we understand, have
succeeded in obtaining such extract from this Nege'a-
bic as, it is hoped, will be found etfectua substitute
We have taken some pains 10 enquire among medical
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
we have been able learn, it has produced the desired
effect operating produce healthy action of the liver,
procsrne bilious discharges When needed, and in some
instances breaking up fcyers. with more certainty
and in shorter time than caome: For sick or bilious
headaches, it has been found good remedy. hose
