the case how necessary becomes that every having

with this necessity Dir. YOUNG feels called upon

OuINIINN
An Ode to all Mankind.
BY ]. C. YOUNG, M. 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 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 writhed and groand from night to morn
Cursng the hour that 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 burnd
In ev'ry vein, as if your blood were turnd
To molten lava
To him who hath felt this,
need not speak, as he knows what it is.
But such as only feel the incipent spark,
Should read this oer, and ev'ry sentence mark!
Upon the tablets of their memory,
AS none may tell how he II tomorrow be.
But all should know, in dark aflictions hour,
Where to apply to one who has the power
To ease their pain so prompt they'd think my hand
Must surely grasp Necromancer's wand,
Like some 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 q 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.
I'm found with ease, my names on ev'ry tongue.
The suif 'rers' friend, and yours too
