An Ode to all Mankind.
BY ]. C. YOUNG, NJ. 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 writhed and groand from night to morn,
Cursng the hour that ye 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'd
In ev'ry vein, as if your blood were turn'd
To molten lava !!
To him who hath felt this,
need not speak, as he knows what it is
But such as only feel the incipient spark,
Should read this Ger, and evry sentence mark!
Upon the tablets of their memory,
As none may tell how he'll tomorrow be.
But all should know, in dark affections 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 olden time,
Whose ev'ry 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-znow it was to them 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 confess the pain that spoiled his rest
Sprang from source impure, to say the least
Ye suffering thousands who may read this oer,
REMEMBER, ALONE can you restore
To health and usefulness.
That you may know
[ have the and power for doing so,
There 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 suff rers FRIEND and yours too.
