CITIZENS OF POTTER COUNTY

A Re YOU SICK are you troubled with
IN symptoms of Ineipient Consumption Pa
ralysis, with Nervous Debility, with Neuralgia,
with Rheumatism, with mucous and nervous
Indigestion, with Scrofula, with Eraptive Dis
ease in any form? And are you seeking for
Health7 If so, we beg of you to throw away
those Drugs, they viii do you no good their
effects are evil, and evil only We have had
charge of an Institution for the relief of the
sick, in the Eastern part of New York, for the
past ten years. During that time, we have
prescribed for thousands, with success for
which we feel truly grateful and the contem-
plation of which affords us much pleasure
We have not doubt but one-half of the
Chronic Diseases which have been brought to
our notice, were induced by the swallowing
of too many drugs. Be cautious how you
seek for salvation from disease, then, at
the hands Of the drug vender The Faith
ers and Professors Of the Allopathic
School are ready to testify, land many have
already done SOL to the evils resulting from
the drug system of Practice. DR.. BAILLIE,
whose reputation as Physician and Surgeon
was as unlimited as the disease, sickness and
death of humanity, declared, after many long
years of practice, 'that he had no faith in
drugs" and expressed as his firm belief, "that
he had no faith in Physic, that if he could on
ly know that his drgs had not killed more
than he had been the means of restoring to
health, he shonld feel more at peace, and
could die happy" Such is the languag ge of
many of those Professors, who first taught as
the principles and practice of the Allopathic
School What better evidence do you ask of
the ineficiency of drugs to cure disease, and
of their poisonous influence upon the human
cvSfapo9 phXSiciapc ub h,,
been accommodating wisdom from many years
practice and experience-and from such
fountain of knowledge and wisdom comes the
assurance, and there is no safety, no virtue,
no health, to be found in taking drugs Will
you listen to their teachings or will you con-
tinue to burden your stomach, and poison
your strength, because you fear you may of
fend the dignity of some Esculapian. Who
cries humbug humbugl at every advance in
Medical Reform2 We can assure you from
bitter, well-earned experience, that there is
better, a far more pleasant road to the haven
of health than to travel in that pathway
which is strewn with drugs, or poisonous
weeds, We will lead you along, by the run
ming brook, which comes bubbling down the
side ofyour Allegany Mountains; it willquench
your thirst, allay your fever, and when right
ly applied, cleanse and purify your whole sys-
tenn, and restore you to the full enjoyment of
health. 1t is natures remedy, and one she
always calls for and demands, when Inflama-
nation, Fever, or disease of any kind, threat
ems the destruction of our physical frame
We desire then to meet with all those that
are suffering from disease Of the Lungs, Acute
or Chronic disease in any form; We are conf
dent we can do them good. We have been
sick too long and suffered too much ourselves
to have any desire to humbug the sick, to
trhe with their confidence end happiness
We trust all who have been sufficiently
druggcd, and desire a better practice, will
call and make our acquaintance, and test our
skill; we have hundreds of names and certii-
Gates of cure from some Of the most infiuen-
tial citizens Of New York and adjoining States
which we shall he pleased to have all who
are in pursuit Of health, call and examine.
DR.. CURTIS will spend portion Of his time
the coming season with his friend CHAMBER
LAIN, at Ellisburg. Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN keeps a
Public House, where those of our sick friends
who may desire it, can attain bOaId on most
reasonable terms. To be sure, Mr.. CHAMBER
LAIN's house will not compare with the Astor
,Ouse Of New York, BAGG's Hotel of Utica,
or Stanwix Hall, Rome. Nor would the bus
mess of that portion Of the State support any
such costly arrangements. But you will find
a q an house, a clean bed, and Il good cook,
and what the house lacks in fnery, fashion
and beauty, is more than made up in that
spirit Of conteAtment and chaerfulness which
is ever being thrown out from the large, warm
and sympathetic hearts Of our host and host
ess. Good attendants, whose business it shall
be to give treatment, and wait upon the sick,
may be found here that will cheerfully do
everything in THAR power for the comfort of
the sick. We shall be ready a all times to
visit the sick i'll any part Of the country. If,
on examination Of the patient, we do not find
the best of evidence that we can cure or great
ly benefit them, we shall hold out no induce
ments for thcm to spend their time or money
in pursuing our treatment. We shall endeav-
or at all times to give a candid opinion in re-
lation to the disease Of our patient.
