PRODUCTION Of new Medicine, to the notice
Of the public, that something should be said in
relation TO its powers, in healing disease, and
the manner in which it acts. Mans organiza-

I TESTEDi About ons year ago it was placed
before the public as A REMEDY OF WON
DERFUL EFFICACY, Every one not ac.
quainted with its virtues, doubted its healing
properties. The cry OF humbug was raised
against it. 1t had some friends. Those that

cured Some Of them live in our midst, and
can swear for themselves. In writing about
medicine we are aware that we should write
rRUTH--that we skould MAKE no statements
that cannot be proved. We have the witness
es-erowds of them, who will testify in terms
stronger than we can write them, to the eff
