sAPPINGTON ON FEVERs.
eto Theory and Treatment of Fevers

't1lo Work 10 now offered 10 Tie puoic toI saic.
Il The author fauers himself with the belief, thai
when il shall have been siientiyely examined, and
the system OF practice therein recommended fully
and fairly tested, IL will be found 10 so far ex-
coed that of any other system that has hitherto
been offered 10 the public in the Of feyero,
10 obtain for It decided preference in the estimation
Of every practical man. This work IL intended to 20
10 the families and freaides Of the community at large
to the great body of the American people.
The author enlertains doubt, but that the
farmer or mechanic, by carefully reading il over a
few times, will fully comprehend the meaning Of the
author, and be enabled to carry out the practice
eessfully In his family, If he has confidence in
himself and thus enable him to be his own physician
in the Of feyers, which constitute nne-te nhs
Of the bodily PAIN suffering and mortality of the hui
man family.
The author himself has bestowed much time and
reflection on il; he has also spared pains or ex-
pense 10 employ competent persons TO assist him in
preparing this work, and in making it clear and
as acceptable TO all classes Of the community as
possible. But he Is aware, with very few excep-
tons, that there is class (the doetors) whose
sanction 10 work Of this kind cannot be obtained,
for the reason that 1t 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-
pletiye one, and feel well assured that the public
mind is not much biased that it cannot do other
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
excreuons, and at the same time they also sustain
the general system. The depletiye practice (espe-
cially very many occasons) not only adds TO the
general functional arrangement of the system, but
superadds prostraton and debility, when there il
already too much Of both.
30 far az 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 a variety of sudor-
ihcs otdsphoritics, such the saline daphoritics
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 eficacious.
Under the head Of anodynes we have mentioned
Doyers powders, papgoric elixir, laudanum, DC.
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.
One chapter Is devoted TO what may be called Ma
terra MsdieG, giving description Of the different ar
uces 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 ef
fects upon the human system.
This book contains also:
LIST. The authors reasons why he has departed
from the practice Of the od-school physicians, and
I'd. A short outline Of the animal economy, &c;
Sd. The authors views and opinions in relation
TO the Inconsistency and irratonalty Of attempting
to cure feyers 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;
It'll. Common bilious, or bilious remitent fever;
6th Cholera infantum, &C.;
9th. OF yellow fever
10th. OF influenza;
18th. or mild typhus, or nervous fever;
18th. or cold plague, or spotted fever;
18th. OF scarlet fever;
l4th. OF measles;
18th. OF chid-bed, or puerperal fevu;
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.
emen 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 unrivalled efficacy Of
my Anu-Foyer Pills, wherever they have been sent;
and for the last ten years they have had circular
ton cOeXtensve with all the southern and south
western States of the Union.
The retail price per box Of twcnty-four small
pills being one dollar and fifty cents, if this not
the most prompt and efiicacous remedy used
in the offcvers, can any one believe for mo-
ment that 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 c-?m-
posed, can be obtained at most of the stores in the
country, and at perhaps, every drugstore.
There are also mentioned IN the work two herbs,
which grow q beleve) in every part Of the United
States and consequently can be obtained with ease
by every person, in abundance, that are 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 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 a donation than SALE
If this book and the facts unfoded by 1t do not
awaken the people from the mesmeric, or some other
almost unaccountable sleep, that they have been
in for centuries past confess know not what will
have repeatedly sad and unhesitatingly repeat
il now Trash and vain 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 were 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 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
& Co., of Philadelphia; Messrs. Nafo & Cornish, of
New York, and Messrs. Gushing &, Brother, Of
Baltimore, book merchants in those places, where
nil N those StateS
Territories as well as in all others, can, and IT rs
hoped will, be supplied upon terms calculated to in
duce purchases.
