Never could this be said with more truth,
than it now applies to this remedy, for afec-

learning and power acknowledge its supreme
cy, while both the little and the great can feel
its benefits. The liberal-minded among those
skilled to cure, are free to own its mastery
over distempers which have baffled their art
Those of exalted stations are not ashamed to
testify to its virtues, but deem it duty and a
pleasure to thus hold out the lamp of their ex-
percnce to their suffering fellow men.
