SMALLPOX.

The following article by DR.. Sylvester Ora.
ham, with whom many of our readers are &C.
quain,ed. was, we beieve, published in one Of
the Northampton Mass,) papers. The advice
i, contains is invaluable. ED. jour.
Mr.. Editor IL perceive, by the papers gen.
orally, that the smallpox is unusually preva-
lent in the country at this time: and it is still
spoken of as "that dangerous, alarming, and
fatal disease," and the negligence Of the peo
pie in not having had their children vaccnated,
as preventive measure, is seriously reprehen-
ded. All this is well enough, SO far as it goes
But there is something better; and that which
effected by the advent ofthe evil itself. II is
that mankind may, by thoroughly correct habits,
well nigh. ifnot entirely, put themselves be-
yond the reach Of that foul offspring Of foul
source. But leaving that point, to attend to the
present emergency, say with that full conf
dence which rests on perfect knowledge Of the
thing of which speak, that there is no more
necessary danger from the Small Pox than
from common itchs and except in cases Of ex-
uemely rutrid diathesis resulting from excess
sivey bad habits. no person would die from
Small Pox ifproperly treated. And very rare
ly indeed need person be laid up with that dis.
case, or confined to the house a single day,
Let any one who has been exposed to the
Small Pox or Varioloid, or any one who has
the premontory symptoms Of that disease; or
who has the full evidence of the disease. upon
him, at once commence bathing his body all o.
yer in cold water, applying the water with
coarse towels and with as brisk and hard rub
bing ss he can endure. When thus thoroughly
bathed, follow the operation by dry rubbing e.

Through the whole sickness and indispositon,
let the patient drink nothing but pure cold wa
ter; and let him drink that freely, and particu-
Iarly on an empty stomach; increasing the guam
tity as the febrile symptoms increase.-At least
once in the twenty. four hours let free injec-

water-nothing solid but simple, plain food as
above prescribed.-Let the patient be abroad as
much as he comfortably can, and when within
doors, let him keep off from the bed as much as
possible, and avoid hot room and confined air;
and industrously cultivate cheerfnlness.

NO CURE--NO PAY
DR. Ill

OF all the remedies ever discovered
for the safe, certain, and efl'ectual cure
of the Ague and Fever, or ChiIIs and
Fever, none have more merited and re.
ceived the appreciation Of the public
than these Pills. Upwards OF Eighty
Thousand Boxes have been sold in only
six States, within the last twelve months
and over twenty thousand of these in the
state of Alabama alone. The Proprietor
has never known single instance where
these pills have failed 10 cure the ChilIs
and Fever, where they have been used.
strictly according to the directions accom-
panying them. One box of these Pills is
generally sufficient to cure two common
cases Of ChiIs and Fever. Judging from
these facts, the Proprietor has the most
satisfactory reasons for supposing that
upwards OF one hundred thousand persons
have been restored from sickness 10 health
by using this important medicine, and
that, TOO, in the brief space Of twelve
months. Indeed, no language can de-
scribe, no tongue can express, and no
pen can portray the vast amount of sick
ness and suffering which these Pills have
and the joy and gratitude of
hose who have been restored to health
~ using them.
