The GOLDEN REMEDY, or ELECTRIC
PILLS AND LINlMENT, for Chronic diseases,
and Scrofulous affections only.
| In Scroiula, and all chronic diseases, there is
want Of vitality, and nervous energy, in consc-
quence Of n deficiency Of the vital principle,
which is moi generated in a sufficient quantity to
counteract that general tendency to decay or
disease, which exists in the human system, caus-
ing the dis0rganizaon or destruction Of organs,
or parts For disease olthis class, all intelligent
and candid ply sicians acknowledge that no eili-
cient remedy can be found in the books yet il
has been shown by numerous experiments, with
which most medical men are familiar, that the
vital fluid and the galvanic fluid are identcally
the same, or that the latter would etlectually
supply the place Of the former, in keeping up
the natural and healthy action in parts Of the
body, where the nervous communication had
been entirely cut or For some yeals past, no
pains or expense has been spared in endeayorng
to render the knowledge Of these facts, available
and Of service in curing disease. until the COL
DEN REMEDY, or Electric Pills and Linnenl
were found to be triumphant.
| These Pills are composed Of articles that con
tain large portions Of latent electricity, OF dis
similar qualities Gas zinc amt cOpper) which
ARE perfectly mild, simple and harmless in their
nature. The positive Pills are put up in boxes
coated over with red and the negative with yel-
low sealing wax, which prevents the escape of
any Of their electric forces. One Pill from each
box, is always to be taken at time.
The Pills, instead Of acting on the stomach or
general system, are acted upon by the gastric
JUICE, which is always acid, in such a manner,
as TO evolve or set free their electricity in the
stomach, by steady, gentle flow Of galvanic
currents, which is conducted through the medium
of the nerves, 10 every part Of the system, pro-
ducing an agreeable, slightly tranquilizing SEN
sat'on, attended with faint glow Of warmth
over The whole body, for about SIX hours in dura-
lion after they are taken.
by thus generating in the stomach necessary
quantity Of he vital principle, the very seeds of
the disease are oradicaed and permanent cure
elected, even in cases where all hopes Of relief
from other sources have been abandoned.
Each box contains sevcnty-two pills, which is
enough to cure all ordinary forms Of Chronic
disease but when the case is obstinate, or has
been Of very long standing. one box will not be
found sufficient to make perfect cure.
In Tie yellow box, containing the negative
Pills, which are smaller than the positive, will be
found small compound substance, about the
size OF nutmeg, which must bo taken from the
box and pulverIzed, or grated fine, then mixed
with hall pint Of sweet oil, (but fresh butter
or STfd cream rW serve as substitute for
the oiD this forms the LINIMENT. This is an
external application, which being non conduct
ing substance, prevents the electricity from pas
sing of from the surface Of the body, wherever /
il is applied.

II will be seen that this is not a remedy for all
diseases, but for such only as are characterised
by debility, and a want Of general, or local ac-
ton, hom deficiency Of the vital principle. lu

Crude Of typhus, ia which The aboce remedies

not applicable, because in this form Of disease,
The vital principle is in excess, producing too
much action.
Physicians having cases Of Chronic, or Scroru-
ous diseases, under their charge, where all the
usual remedies have been tried, and failed To
give relief, are respectfully invited To make trial
Of the above as il is believed that they will no,
