always bitterly opposed every mediGial
offered to The public under the prot50eoa
of secrecy or patent. Indeed, have arc
ways had a mortal hatred Of what We
termed 'Quack Medicines, Patent Nos<
trums,' &c, and have uniformly discourd
aged their use among my patients aud
friends. But one of your agencies tougs

began to spread extensively among the
reople. There being no other Doctor in
the place, could not attend TO half the
sick-and%the result was that hundreds
were compelled to make trial of your Pills

cry one, that ~ asinduced at last to make
trlaI of them IN my practice-and the re7
suit has been TO convince me, much against
my prejudiceS, that they possess SPE-
ClFIO CONTROL over Fever and Ague
aud other Bilious diseases, not known t.
any other medicine belonging to the mto
terra medica,
SO convinced am ! of their great virf
tues, that think you ought; in justice &c
suffering humanity, TO make public the
recipe from which they are made--or at
least, to furnish your pill mass to physic-
ians in small jars, to be used in their
practice. Your Anti bilious p ills are Ger
tain to take the place of Calomel, and
Tonic PiNs the place of Quinine, very
soon in the Agnes and Fevers of the South
