An Ode to all Mankind.
BY ]. C. YOUNG, M. D.

All We who suffer, ponder whilst you read,
As it's 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.
Yc who have wrthed 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 'twould quench the flames that madly burn'd
In evry 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 affections 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 some good Gen of the olden time,
Whose cvry act bespoke his power sublime
Within this city-through ghout all the State,
In ev 'ry town and hamlet, small or great,
Some can be found who know the power WELD.
Having tried t-know it was to the n a 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 source impure to say the least
Ye suffering thousands who may read this o'er
REMEMBER, ALONE you restore
To health and usefulness.
That you may know
I have the and power for doing so,
| here will state. Let each note what | say.
NV motto always is-NO CURE NO PAY.
I'm found with case, my names on cv'ry tongue.
The suff rcrs friend, and yours too
