COMMUNICATIONS

Every individual is interested in speedily pro-
curing public application OF my discovery,
(Which Tor more than year past have solicited
IN every manner that my Imagination could sug-
ges) in order that il the use OF my panacea iails 10

that he must either have taken 1T too late, or ne
elected to follow my prescriptions, which neverthe-
less extremely simple.

well my and attention, gratis 10 all the pa
tients who may be entrusted 10 my charge. until
have convinced the world that am very far from

In order to proceed with sufficient caution, ! re-
quest that commission may be appointed, com
posed OF respectable and reliable men, to test the
truth OF my assertions can produce sufficient
number Of cures in New York and its enyirons to
convince these gentlemen of the Importance Of my
discovery, and induce them TO report iavoraby as
to the expediency Of public trial.
If any one does me the injustice of surprising
that l am speculator on the public health, can
enter into an engagement to leave the United
States Immediately after convincing humanity that
have placed the greatest of all blessings within
its reach. Should society think proper 10 testify
its gratitude for the boom will show TO whom it 10
due, by revealing the name of the estimable and
venerable man to whom we owe this happy combi-
nation Of which ii is composed, the virtues and the
mode of application OF which he never understood.

The problem of a panacea is solved. can prove

was one of the greatest blessings that could be con
ferred on humanity, that the employment OF steam
as a motive power applied to machinery would b.
of incalcuable value TO society, the propounder
of these theories were denounced as heretlcs, POI
soners FOOLS men destitute of common sense, ant
void of the least idea of science Oh, poor humanity
withdraw the bandagc that obstructs thy vision
and see who it is that deceives thee.
