| f. Stin, M d., Of Franklin, Tennessee
lyrHlS work is offered TO the public for sale.
Il The author haters himself with the belief, that
when II shall have been attentiyely 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 Of ieyers
10 obtain for II decided preference in the estimation
Of every practical man. This work is intended to 60
To the families and resdes of the community at large
to the great body of the Anerican people
| The author entertalns doubt, but that the
farmer mechanic, by carefully reading ii over
few times will fully comprehend the meaning of the
author, and he enabled to carry out the practice sue
eessfully in his family, il he has confidence in
himself and thus enable him to be his physician
in the cure Of feyers, which constitute nine-tenths
Of the bodily pain, suffering and mortality of the hu-
man family.
| The author himself has bestowed much time and
reflection on IL; he has also spared no pains ex-
pense to employ competent persons 10 assist him in
preparing this work, and in making II as clear and
| as acceptable to all classes Of the community as
possible. But he is aware, with very few exccp-
lions, that there is one class (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 IL.
| We have carefully contrasted this with mos
other theories and treatments, particularly the de-
pletiye one, and feel well assured that the public
mind 10 not much biased that il cannot do other
wise than pronounce decidedly in its favor; for
whilst under this treatment, all the remedies tend to
restore the lost balance 10 the circulation by acting
mildly and uniformly upon all the secretions and
excretions, and at the time they also sustain
the general system. The depletive practice (espe-
eisy on very many occasions) not only adds TO the
general functional arrangement of the system, but
supersdds prostration and debility, when there is
already too much Of both.
So far az we conceive bleeding, puking, or purg-
ing necessary, or even admissible, VIC 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 oIdaphoritics such as the saline diaphoritics
Of the super-carbonates Of potash soda, we have
also mentioned variety Of vegetable diaphoritics
which are familiar to every one, and which, too,
| are equally efhcacious.
Under the head of anodynes VIC have mentioned
Doyer's powders, paragoric elixir, laudanum &c.
| Laudanum being the most common and familiar
preparation Of OPIUM in almost every instance, if
not in all, II answers every purpose where either Of
those preparations is required ...f
| One chapter is devoted TO what may be called Ma
tra nsdiea giving description of the different ar
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.
| This book contains also:
LIST. The authors reasons why he has departed
| from the practice Of the od-school ph yscians 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 nationally of attempting
to cure feyers principally by depletion;
cure of fevers;
5th The authors views on the subject Of the uni
ty of feyers;
9th. OF intermittent, or ague and fever;
7th. Common bilious, or bilious remient fever
9Th Cholera infantum, &c;
9th. or yellow fever
| 10th. OF Influenza
| llth. OF mild typhus, or nervous fever;
18th. or cold plague, or spotted fever;
| 18th OF scarlet fever;
18th. OF measles;
| 18th. Of child-bed, or puerperal fevrr;
10th. 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.
tlemen Of the first respectabilty 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 il neces-
| sary. ...
have also attached many letters and certificates
to the work, speaking of the unrivalled efficacy of
my Ant-Fever Pills, wherever they have been sent;
and for the last ten years they have had circular
ton coextensive with all the southern and south
| western States of the Union.
The retail price per box Of twenty-four small
pills being dollar and fifty cents, if this not
| the most prompt and efficacious remedy used
in the cure offevers, can any one believe for
ment that they would have sold at that apparently
| high price, and to largely upward of million of
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 oom-
posed, be obtained at most of the stores in the
country, and at, perhaps, every drugstore.
There also mentioned in the work two herbs,
which grow q believe) in every part of the United
States, and consequently can be obtained with
by every person, in abundance, that are considered
admirable Substitutes for the preparation Of which
the pills arc made.
The treatise here offered to the public on fevers,
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 mcsmeric, or some other
almost unaccounable sleep, that they have been
in for centuries past confess know not what will
have repeatedly said, and unhesitatingly repeat
1t 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
more successfully than the most experienced and
scientific physician can upon the common plan,
even if he to sit all the time by the patients
bed side.
To those States and Territories where the medi-
cine has been sent, arrangements have been made,
and it is confidently expected that 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 Cowpah wait
& Co, of Philadelphia; Messrs. Nafo Il Cornish, Of
New York, and Mcssrs. Gushing & Brother, Of
Baltimore, book merchants in those places, where
merchants and others residing in those States and
Territories as well in all others, can, and it is
hoped will, be supplied upon terms calculated to in
duce purchases -
