An Ode to all Mankind.
BY J. C. YOUNG, NJ. D.

All ye who suffer, ponder whilst you read,
AS Ills your case alone, not mine, plead.
Ye who have felt, or feel them, Know the pangs
Mans doomed to bear, when the remorSeless fangs
OF dire disease is fastend in his soul.
When he would seek the dagger or the "Bowl,"
To end his misery by the potent spell
Of deadly poison, or the polished steel.
Ye who have wrthed and groand from night to morn,
Cursing the hour that ever ye were born!
Seeking your pillow thinking to find ease,
Then wildly rushing forth to court the breeze,
Hopinr 'twould auench the flames that madly burn'd
In ev'iy vein, as if your blood were turnd
10 molten lava
To him who hath felt this,
need not speak, he knows what it is.
But such as only feel the incpient spark,
Should read this DER, and evry sentence mark!
Upon the tablets of their memory,
AS none may tell how he'll tomorrow be.
But all should know, i'll dark aftiction'S hour,
Where to apply to one who has the power
To their pain, so prompt. they'd think my hand
Like some good Genii Of the oden time,
Whose cv'iy act bespoke his power sublime.
Within this city-throughout all the State,
In ev'ry town and hamlet. small or great
Some can be found who know the power wield.
Having tried it--know it was to the a shield
Stronger than that which Achilles of yorc.
Upon Scamanders banks, in battle bore.
They know it sav'd them from the blush of shame,
Preserved their health. and dearer far their name,
For who d confess the pain that spoiled his rest
Sprang from a source impure, to say the least.
Ye suffering thousands who may read this o'er,
REMEMBER, ALONE can you restore
To health and usefulness.
That you may know
/ have the means and power for doing so,
| here will state Let each what say.
My motto always is-NO URE NO PAY
I'm found with ease. my names on ev'ry tongue.
The suff rers' friend, and yours too.
