TNHlS work Is nov offered TO the public for sale
4 The author hatiers himself with the belief, that
when II shall have been attenuyely examined, and
the system of practice therein recommended fully
and fairly tested, it will be found 10 80 far ex-
coed that OF any other system that has hitherto
been offered 70 the public in the cure OF feyers, as
70 obtain for decided preference in the estimation
Of every practical man. This work is intended 70 90
70 the families and hresdes Of the community at Large
to the great body of the American people.
The author entertaIns no doubt, but that the
farmer or mechanic, by carefully readingit over a
few times, will fully comprehend the meaning Of the
author and be enabled TO carry out the practice sue
eessfuly in his own family, II he has confidence in
himself and thus enable him 10 be his own 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 IT. he has also spared no 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 claaa 1.-THE doctors) whose
sanction to work of this kind cannot be obtained,
for the reason that II conflicts materially with both
their principles and their interests therefore he does
not except their appreciation 70 it.
We have carefully contrasted this with mos
other theories and treatments, particularly the de-
pletye one, and feel well assured that the public
mind is not much biased that il cannot do other
wise than pronounce decidedly in its favor; for
whilst under this treatment, all the remedies tend 10
restore the lost balance TO the circulation, by acting
mildly and uniformly upon all the Becretions and
excretions, and at the time they also sustain
the general system. The depletiye practice (espe-
eially very many occasions) not only adds TO the
general functional arrangement Of the system, but
superadds ptosuuuon and debility, when thereis
| already too much OF both.
SO far as We conceive bleeding, pukins, or purg-
ing necessary, or even admissible, have in all
clearly poinsd out the times and circumstances
| under which we think they should be used
Although we have mentioned a variety OF sudor-
ikes OF diaphoritcs such the saline daphoritics
Of the super-carbonates Of potash or soda, we have
also mentioned variety Of vegetable diaphorltics,
which familiar TO every one, and which, too,
are equally efhcacious.
Under the head Of anodynes we have mentioned
Doyers powders, paragonc elixir, laudanum, DO.
Laudanum being the most common and familiar
preparation Of opium, in almost every instance, II
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 Nsdiea, giving description Of the different
tces Of medicine recommended in this treatise with
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-sehoo ply scians, and
all Others in the treatment and cure Of fevers;

10th An alphabetical arrangement of the articles OF
medicine used in this work.
For the satisfaction of those persons at distance
| and unacquaintsd with my character and standing
az physician, have thought proper to attach to
the work several letters and certificates from gen
tleen of the first respcctability in this State, who
have been personally and intimately acquainted
with 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 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 one dollar and fifty cents, if this was not
the most prompts and efficacious remedy ever used
in the offevers, can any one believe for mo-
ment that they would have sold at that apparently
high price, and to largely upward of million of
boxcsa 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 are also mentioned in the work two herbs,
which grow q believe) in every part of the United
States, and consequently be obtained with ease
by every person, in abundance, that are 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 uDfolded by 1t do not
awaken the people from the mesmerc, or some other
almost as unaccountabe sleep, that they have been
in for centuries past, confess know not what will
have repeatedly said, and unhesitatingy 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 tevers
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 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 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 Compartment
s. Co., of Philadclphia Messrs. Na6o e. Cornish, of
New York, and Messrs Gushing g. Brother, of
Baltimore, book merchants in those places, where
merchants and others residing in those States and
Territories, well in all others, can, and it Is
hoped will, be supplied upon terms calculated to in
duce purchases.
