The GOLDEN REMEDY, or ELECTRIC
PILLS AND LINIMENr, for Chronic diseases,
and Scrofulous affections only.
In Scrofua, and all chronic diseases, there is
a want Of vitality, and nervous energy, in conse-
quenee Of a deficiency Of the vital principle,
which is no, generated in a sufficient quantity to
counteract that general tendency to decay or
disease, which exists in the human system, caus-
ing the disorganization or destruction OF organs,
or parts For disease ofthi class, all intelligent
and candid physicians acknowledge that no etii-
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 galyanic fluid are idcntically
the same, or that the latter would eileciually
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 of. For some Yeas past, no
pains or expense has been spared in endeavoring
to render the knowledge Of these facts, available
and Of service in curing disease. until the COL
DEN REMEDY, or Electric Pills aud Linimeni
were found to be triumphant.
These Pills are composed Of articles that con-
tain large portions Of latent electricity, Of dis
similar qualities (as zinc anu 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 Gegative 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 tho 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 a steady, gentle flow Of galvanic
currents, which is conducted through the medium
Of the nerves, to every part Of the system, pro-
ducing an agreeable, slightly tranquilizing SEN
sntion, attended with a 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 eradicated, and permanent cure
effected. even in cases where all hopes Of relief
from other sources have been abandoned.
Each box contains seveniy-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 the 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 be taken from the
box and puverzed, or grated fine, then mixed
with half pint Of sweet oil, (buf fresh butter
or street. cream tDiH serpe as a substitute for
the oily this forms the LINIMENT. This is an
external application, which being non-conduct-
ing substance, prevents the electricity from pas
sing oil 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 characterized
by debility, and a want Of general, or local ac-
lion, Gom deficiency OF the vital principle. IL
acute diseases, and all fevcrs, (ercept the lo,c
Crude of typhus, in Which the above remedies
are singuiariy e6icacious,) these remedies are
not applicable, because in this form Of disease
the vital principle is in excess, producing too
much action.
Physicians having cases Of Chronic, or ScrOfu-
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, as it is believed that they will not
fail in eflecting cure in all ordinary cases, Of
tcner than idosyncrasy or some peculiarly OF
constitution is found TO occur.
These Remedies arc for sale, with directions
for their use, at X. u. HAZARDS, Sign Of the
