XTHERE IS THE SCIENCE OF MEDI.

w cine :--In the last thirty years in the cities
of New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, fifty thou
sand persons died of consumption. In Great Br-
tain duringthe same period the mortality Of con-
sumptive persons amounts TO sixty thousand.
Caomel, of course, killed every one of them.
There is no blessing like that of health, particu-
lary when you're sick.
IMPORTANT SOURCES OF BODILY VlGoR-Exer-
cise temperance in eating, pure air, frequent bath
ing, abstinence from stimulant luxuries and the
abuse of sexual passions, pure and nutritious
diet.
Patent medicines will do for rats but for men
undo. The Greeks made Socrates swallow hem
lock, because in that time there was not poisoned
patent medicines.
Daily Morning Draughts to be taken early by
every person with pulmonary consumption, or in
nammaton in the lungs and take walk without
fatigue.
She asses milk one pint Peruvian bark, fine
ly powdered, one dram Mucage of gum Traga-
cant, one dram. Mix, and take them all at once.
At noon, Spirit of MindireIio, one fluid dram;
Tincture of Gentian, one dram Spirit of Castor
one scruple Paregoric, dram; Spirits OF
Nitre, half dram; Port wine, half ounce; su-
gar or Honey, one scruple. Mix for dose,
At night, going to bed Exract Of Iceland moss,
one scruple; Opium, half grain to one grain or
instead of Opium, add TO the Iceland moss, Do
ver's Powder, ten grains; Gum, quantum suf-
fcit Dose, six pills.
This of course will not cure consumption in the
last stage, but is the best treatment (by part for
that disease. Woman's breast milk is recommend
ed in the Island of Madeira, and at Malta, and is
very beneficial.
Physc, for the most part, is nothing else but the
substitute OF exercise or temperance. The sick
without hope, with old chronic diseases, that other
Physicians have never been able TO cure, who
actually suffering, especially those attacked peri
odcally with Chils and Fever, Rheumatic, Gout,
Swellings, Coughs, Habtua running, &c, will

their fraudulent designs, the circulars stamped in
