when efforts are made to use the press as strings
by which designing proprietors and propellers Of
"patents" hope to create demand and sales for
their article when they pull the string that brings
forward some almost useless compound" the
public (that portion Of at any rate, who are SUBJ
scribers to weekly journals and who possess think
ing mnds,) would be very far from being satisfied,
as regards its virtues, by my or any ones else
simple ipse dizet or assertion, unsupported by any
farther proofs as regards its curative properties.
very well knew that the people had been to often
deceived by printed statements of retailers or pro-
prietors that their "compound' was Q cure-all and
sovereign remedy that had been ''proven in their
own midst and found to be just what it had been
represented" &c., &c. I very well know that q
thinking people would not be satisfied with any
such bare assertions as these, which, like certif
Gates, are easily msnufacted, and by which they
have been so often deceived And, lest the Creme
dy" should meet the same fate that those other
compounds" have met with, which have had on
ly mere assertions without proof to sustain them,

Of the preparation, would give at the same time,
reasons why advised it, together with those views
as regards the true cause of the disease, which
conceived to be correct, and to trace out, from
cause to effect for the invalid's especial benefit
that he might know how and ,chy the Remedy
might be expected to cure him. very well knew
that had thinking minds to deal with, and was
willing to yield to them that which they had
right to demand, viz: reasons, good and sabstanti-
al reasons, so far as was able to give them, and
then leave the public to decide, from the reasons

This course, although expensive to me, has en-
abled the people at once to distinguish between
the claims of the Remedy" and the many "com-
pounds" that are "got up" solely for purposes Of
gain by those who, by accident or stealth, come
in possession of some half-hedged 'formula," and
desirous of stepping out of their pegged brogans,
and slipping out Of their clothes that looked as
though they were thrown on with pitchfork, and
of leaving the plowhandle, and their rustic valley
where the stage horn toots forth its melody to
awaken the echo Of the hills, and although pos
sessed Of "nary red," yet, by dint Of untiring
perseverance succeed in negotiating the loan Of o
dollar, and, forthwith, q compound" comes forth,
advertised to the world as cure-all and attested
to by 'walking certificates" without number; and
too, advertised as though it was an understood
thing with all creation, when, probably, not
before. I say advertised to the world" but
how? Why, in the very smallest possible COM
pressed space, showing at once the penDy-calcula-
ting disposition Of peddlers of tin ware, which is
enough to send a chill to the heart Of any ''prin-
ter" as he looks around among his "friends" for
an extry job, which his parental affection Graves
for the purpose of endeavoring to add to the per-
sonal appearance of some half.dozen, or more,
half clad urchins, who, in making their toilet,
find it is total impossblity to prevent disclosure
Of the fact that "Capt. White is out Of Jaip'-a
disposition very far from that which should be
shown by gentlemen charged with the advance
ment of of science which ameliorates the condi-
ton Of suffering humanity-a dog-in-the manger
them from helping "the printer" to an extra shil-
ling, or making glad the hearts Of the sick and
suffering, who are always on the watch for some
description of their disease and the means Of get
ting rid of it, makes them growl like bear with
a sore head if any one else comes forward with
"Remedy," and with philanthropc spirit goes
to the expense of using 1.-TWO or three columns"
in explaining to suffering invalids the cause Of
their malady together with true indications Of
treatment.
In placing "BL1sS DYSPEPTIC REMEDY"
before the people, did so in good faith, knowing
full we'll that if taken closely according to direc-
tions and its use persevered in, it acould not fail
to remous every vestige Of any disease for ,chich
