THE DAILY UNION
sAppINGroN ON FEYERs.



This work is now offered to the public for sale.
l. The author hatters himself with the belief, that
when 1t shall have been attentlvely examined, and
the system of practice therein recommended fully
and fairly tested, it will be found to so far ex-
coed that of any other system that has hitherto
been offered to the public in the cure of feyers as
to obtain for decided preference in the estimation
OF every practical man This work is intended to go
TO the families and fresides of the community at large
Ito the great body of the Arserican people.
The author entertalns no doubt, but that the
farmer or mechanic, by carefully reading it over a
few times, will fully comprehend the meaning of the
author, and be enabled to carry out the practice
cessfully in his own family, if he has confidence in
HIMSELF and thus enable him to be his own physician
in the cure of evers, which constitute nine-tentbs
of the bodily pain, suffering and mortality ofthe hu-
man family.
The author himself has bestowed much time and
reflection on it; he has also spared pains or ex-
pense to employ competent persons TO assist him in
preparing this work, and in making il as clear and
as acceptable to all classes of the community as
possible. But he is aware, with very few excep-
tions that there is one class 1.-THE doctors) whose
sanction to work Of this kind cannot be obtained
for the reason that it conflicts materially with both
their principles and their interests therefore he does
not except their appreciation to it.
We have carefully contrasted this with mos
other theories and treatments, particularly the de-
pletve one, and feel well assured that the public
wise than pronounce decidedly in its favor; for
whilst under this treatment, all the remedies tend to
restore the lost balance to the circulation by acting
mildly and uniformly upon all the secretions and
excretions and at the same time they also sustain
the general system. The depletive practice (espe-
cially on very many occasons) not only adds to the
general functional arrangement of the system, but
superadds prostraton and debility when there is
already too much of both.
So far as we conceive bleeding, puking, or purg-
ing necessary, or even admissible, we have in all
cases clearly pointed out the times and circumstances
under which we think they should be used
Although we have mentioned variety of sudor-
fcs oTdiaphortics, such the saline diaphoritics
of the super-carbonates of potash or Soda we have
also mentioned variety of vegetable diaphoritics,
which familiar to every one, and which, too,
are equally efficacous.
Under the head of anodynes we have mentioned
Dover's powders, paragoric elixir, laudanum, &c.
Laudanum being the most common and familiar
preparation Of opium, in almost every instance, if
not In all, 1t answers every purpose where either of
those preparations is required.
One chapter is devoted to what may be called Ma
terra .Medica giving description of the different
tcles Of medicine recommended in this treatise, with
the manner Of mixing them, whether in the liquid or
other FORMS with the size of the dose and their eff
fects upon the human system. "A

For the satisfaction of those persons at distance
and unacquainted with my character and standing
as physician, have thought proper to attach TO
the work several letters and certificates from gen.
tlemen Of the first responsibility in this State, who
have been personally and intimately acquainted
with me for more than twenty years, and could have
obtained thousands Of others had deemed it neces-
sary.
have also attached many letters and certificates
to the work, speaking of the unrivaed efficacy Of
my Ani-Fever Pills, wherever they have been SENT
and for the last ten years they have had circular
western States of the Union.
The retail price per box of twenty-four small!
pills being dollar and fifty cents, if this was not
the most prompt and effcacious remedy ever used
in the cure offevers, can any one believe for mo-
ment tina. they would have sold at that apparently
high price, and to largely upward of million Of
boxes' Certainly they would not.
A full disclosure of the component parts of these
pills is given in this work, together with directions
for making and using them on all occasions.
The ingredients of which these pills are COM
posed, can be obtained at most of the stores in the
country, and at, perhaps, every drugstore.
There also mentioned IN the wor ~ herbs,
which grow q believe) in every part o.. & United
States, and consequently can be obtained with
by every person, in abundance, that considered
admirable substitutes for the preparation Of which
the pills are made,
the retail price of which being only two dollars per
copy, will, doubtless, be found to be the cheapest,
and to contain the simplest and most useful remedies
ever offered to the public at any price. Indeed
consider it more donation than sale. |
If this book and the facts unfolded by it do not
awaken the people from the mesmerlc, or some other
almost unaccountabe sleep, that they have been
in for centuries past, confess know not what will
have repeatedly said, and unhesitatingly repeat
it now, crash and vain as the expression may APP
pear } that any common observer, under this plan,
especially when aided by the book can treat fevers
scientific physician can upon the common plan,
even if he were to sit all the time by the patents
bed side.
To those States and Territories where the medi-
cine has been sent, arrangements have been made,
and it is confidently expected that an ample supply
of the books for the demand will be sent and kept
up; but if this should not be done, the author has
made contracts with Messrs. Thomas Cowpathwait
s. Co., of Philadelphia; Messrs. Na6o e. Cornish, of
New York. and Messrs. Gushing e. Brother, of
Baltimore, book merchants in those places, where
merchants and others residing in those States and
Territories, well as in all others, can, and it is
hoped will, be supplied upon terms calculated to in
duce purchases.
