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

All We who suffer, ponder whilst you read,
AS tits 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 fasten'd 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 wthed and groan'd from night to morn,
Cursng the hour that ever We were born
Seeking your pillow thinking to find ease,
Then wildly rushing forth to court the breeze,
Hoping twould quench the flames that madly burn'dj
In ev'ry vein, as if your blood were turn'd
To molten lava
To him who hath felt this,
I need not speak, as he knows what it is.
But such as only feel the incipient spark,
Should read this o'er, and ev'ry sentence mark!
Upon the tablets of their memory,
AS none may tell how he'll tomorrow be.
But all should know, in dark af1lction's hour,
Where to apply to one who has the power
To ease their pain, prompt. they'd think my hand
Must surely grasp Necromancers wand,
Like some good Genii of the oden time,
Whose evry 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 WELD.
Having tried it-know it to the a shield
Stronger than that which Achilles of yore
Upon Scamander's 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 source impure, to say the least
Ye suffering thousands who may read this DER,
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 note what say.
My motto always is-NO CURE NO PAY.
Pm found with case, my names on ev'ry tongue.
The sutf rers' friend, and yours too.
