ING April l6.-The middling class OLA merican has

nam have been taken on speculation 2l70 Ameri-
can, 270 Pernam, and 60 Madras for export. The

II .Nep Theory and Treatment of Ferers,
BY DIR. JOHN sAPPNGroN,
or Saline county, Missouri revised and corrected b,
f. Stiih, NJ d., Of Franklin, Tennessee.
HNHlS work is now offered TO the public for sale
j. The author faiters himself with the belief that
when il shall have been attenuvely 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 10 the public in the cure of fevers,
to obtain for it decided preference In the estimation
of every practical man. This work is intended to &c
the families and fresides of the community at large
Ito the great body of the American people.
The author enerains no doubt, but that the
farmer or mechanic, by carefully reading IT over q
few times, will fully comprehend the meaning OF the
author and be enabled carry out the practice sue
cessfuy in his own family, if he has confidence IN
himself, and thus enable him TO be his own physician
in the of fevers, which constitute nine-tenths
of the bodily pain suffering and mortality of the hui
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 it as clear and
as acceptable to all classes of the community as
possible. But he is aware, with very few excep-
tons, 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 conrasted this with most
other theories and treatments, particularly the de-
pletve one, and feel well assured that the public
mind is not much biased that it cannot do other
wise than pronounce decidedly in its favor; fol
whilst under this treatment all the remedies tend Ia
the lost balance to the circulation by acting
mildly and uniformly upon all the secretions ant
excretions, and at the same time they also sustain
the general system. The depletive practice (espe-
cally very many occasons) not only adds to the
general functional arrangement of the system, but
superadds prostration and debility, when there il
already too much OF BOTH
So far as we conceive bleeding, puhing, or purg.
ing necessary even admissible, have in al
cases clearly pointed out the times and circumstances
| under which we think they should be used.
Although we have mentioned variety of sudor.
ifcs diaphoritics, such as the saline diaphortcs
of the super-carbonates Of potash soda, we have
also mentioned a variety Of vegetable diaphorcs
which are familiar to every one, and which, too
are equally efficacious.
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, il
not in all it answers every purpose where either Of
those preparations is required
One chapter is devoted to what may be called Ma.
feria .Medica giving description Of the different ar.
ticles Of medicine recommended in this treatise, with
the manner of mixing them whether In the liquid OF
other forms, with the size of the dose and their eff
fects upon the human system
This book contains also:
LIST. The authors reasons why he has departed
from the practice of the old.schOol physicians and
all others, in the treatment and cure of fevers;
I'd. A short outline of the animal economy, &c.
Sd. The authors views and opinions in relation
to the inconsistency and irrationaty of attempting
to cure fevers principally by depletion;
4th. The authors practice and treatment in the
| cure Of fevers;
5th. The authors views on the subject of the uni
ty of fevers;
9Th. OF intermittent, or ague and fever;
7th. Common bilious, or bilious remittent fever;
9Th. Cholera infantum, &C.;
9th. OF yellow fever;
10th. OF influenza;
|
18th. Of cold plague, or spotted fever;
18th. Of scarlet fever;
18th. OF Measles
| 18th. OF chid-bed, or puerperal fevrr;
18th. An alphabetical arrangement of the articles Of
medicine used in this work.
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.
tlcmen 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 unrvalled efficacy Of
my Anti-Fever Pills, wherever they have been sent
and for the last ten years they have had circula
ton cocxtensive with all the southern and south
western States Of the Union.
The retail price per box Of twenty-four small
pills being one dollar and fifty cents, if this no
the most prompt and effcacious remedy ever USED
in the cure offevers, any one believe for mo-
ment that they would have sold at that apparently
high price, and TO largely upward of million o.
boxesi Certainly they would not.
| 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, be obtained at most Of the stores in thu
country, and at, perhaps, every drugstore.
There are also mentioned in the work two herbs
which grow q believe) in every part Of the Unitet
States and consequently can be obtained with cas-
by every person, in abundance, that considered
admirable substitutes for the preparation Of which
the pills are made.
The treatise here offered to the public on fevers
the retail price of which being only two dollars pc
copy, will, doubtless, be found TO be the cheapest
and to contain the simplest and most useful remede
ever offered to the public at any price. Indeed,
consider it more donation than sale
i If this book and the facts unfolded by it do no
awaken the people from the mesmeric, or some othe
almost as unaccountable sleep, that they have bee
in for centuries past, confess know not what will
i have repeatedly sad and unhesitatngly repee
it now, Trash and vain as the expression may ap
pear, } that any common observer, under this plar
especially when aided by the book, can treat fever
more successfully than the most experienced an
scientific physician upon the common plar
even il he were to sit all the time by the patient
4 bed side.
4 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 KEEP
