When our praries and mountains catch on fire,
and the inhabitants behold the devouring element
sweeping towards their devoted homes, what do
they do? Do they vainly endeavor to stop its

which rush forth to meet the approaching torrent
of fame, and by exhausting its food, put STOP to
its ravages or turn it out of its course. Now this
is precisely what we are trying to do The coun-
Ter fire which we are kindling consists in present
| ing 10 the public, Medicines, which are prepared

ed from regular physicians of high standing in the
medical profession. They are prepared from the
best of drugs, under the superintendence OF reg
nlar physician.

ment of the various diseases for which they are re.
commended, zoe ,couLd refer TO the choie medical
