The GOLDEN REMEDY, or ELECTRIC
PILLS AND iINlMEN1, for Chronic diseases,
and Scrofuous affections only.
II In Scroiula. and all chronic diseases, there is
a want of vitality. and nervous energy, in conse-
queuse Of a 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 disOrganizaton or destruction Of organs,
or parts For disease ofths class all intelligent
aud candid ply ysicians acknowledge that no eili-
clent remedy can bc found in the books yet il
has been shown by numerous experiments, with
which most medical men are familiar, that the
vital fluid aud the gavanic fluid are idenicslIy
the same, or that the latter would eiectually
supply the place Of the former, in keeping up
the natural and healthy action in parts of the
body, whore the nervous communication had
been entirely cut oil. For some yeas past, no
pains or expense has been spared in endeaNoring
to render the knowledge Of these facts, available
and of service In curing disease. until tie COL
DEN REMEDY. or Electric Pills and Linimcnt
were found to be triumphant.
These Pills are composed of articles that con-
tam large portions Of latent electricity, of dis
similar qualities (ds zinc opd 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 yell
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.
! Tho Pills, instead of acting on the stomach or
general system, are acted upon by the gastric
Juice, which is always acid, 10 such II manner,
as to evolve or set free their electricity in the
stomach, by steady, gentle flow of glvanlc
currents, which is conducted through the medium
Of the nerves, 10 every part of the system, pro-
ducing IN agreeable, slightly tanquiIlzng sem
sation, attended with faint glow Of warmth
over Tie whole body, for about SIX hours in dura-
ton after they are taken.
BY thus generating in the stomach n necessary
quantity of lie vital principle, the very seeds of
the disease are erad.cated, aud permanent cure
effected, even in cases where all hopes Of relief
from oIher sources have been abandoned
! Each box contains seventy 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 he
found sufficient to make a perfect cure.
! ln'the yellow box, containing The negative
Pills. which are smaller than the positive, will be
found snail compound substance, about the
size Of n nutmeg, which must bo taken from the
box and puverzed, or gated fine, then mixed
with half pint of sweet oil, (bm fresh butter
or SUtet cream UW serpc as a substitute for
the oiD this forms the LINIMENT. This is an
external application, which being a non-conduc-
ing substance, prevents the electricity from pas
sing OIL from the surface of the body, wherever
II Is applied.

| II will he seen that this is not remedy for all
diseases, but for such only as are characterised
by debility, and want Of general, or local ac
lion, lion deficiency of the vital principle. Ia
acute diseases, aud all feycrs, (ercept the iO,o
Crude oftyphus, IN rhich The dbOue remedies
are snguid,iy CHcaciouS,) these remedies
not applicable. because ia this form Of disease,
the vital principle is in excess, producing too
much action.
| Physicians having cases of Chronic, or Scrolu-
lous 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, IA it is believed that they will not
fail in eflcc,ing care in all ordinary eases, Of
tencr than idosyncrasy or some peculiarly Of
constitution is found to occur.
