An Ode to all Mankind.
BY J. C. YOUNG, M. d.

All ye 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 the BOWL
To end his misery by the potent spell
Of deadly poison, or the polished steel.
Yc who have writhcd and groan'd 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,
Hoping 'twoud quench the flames that mady burn'd
In evry vein, as If your blood were turn'd
To molten lava I!
To him who hath felt this,
/ need not speak, as he knows what it is.
But such only feel the incpient 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 ahliction's hour
Where to apply to one who has the power
To their pain, so prompt they'd think my hand
Must surely grasp Necromancer's wand,
Like good Genii of the olden 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 was to the n shield
Stronger than that which Achilles of yore,
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 q 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 note what say.
My motto always is-NO Z CURE NO PAY.
I'm found with ease, my names ev'ry tongue.
The sutf 'rers' friend, and yours too.
