The only orlgln- alty claim is in my peculiar mode of preparation it is true, has often been the wonder and amaze rnent of my medical brethren the astonishing cures performed in that were considered not within the pow, of medical aid. The whole mystery con sisted in my using the medicine and this alone to the exclusion of all others, and of the correct principles npon which diseases ought to be treated.
