l PRODUCTION Of 4 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-
tion IS a complicated one; and to understand
the functions Of each organ, requires the study
Of years! But to understand that certain
remedies produce certain impressions upon
these organs may be learned BY experiences in a
short time. II is by observation in watching
the effects Of various medicines. that We are
enabled to increase the number Of curative
agents, and when we have diseovereda new med

bring it before the public, 50 that the benefits to
be derived from it, may be more generally diff
fused, but have no right to hold back remedy
whose powers are calculated to remove pain,
and to alleviate human suffering and disease

medicine we are aware that we should write
TRUTH-that we should make no statements
that cannot be proved. We have the witness
Ies-crowds of them, who will testify in terms
stronger than we can write them, to the eff
