harvest TO the discoverer.
We commend the fortunate and enter
prising proprietor, DR. F. Coggswcl, for his
wisdom in sending forth his new discovery
withom certifcotes-so common with the
nostrums of the day--and with no other
backcr than its real value and his own rep
utation. AS he may be unknown to the
community abroad, we take great pleasure
in stating that he has long occupied prom
inent position in the profession, and receiv-
ed (about thirty years ago) his collegiate
and medical education at two popular col
leges in New England.
twill be seen that the doctor has recent
ly refused liberal proposition for an equal
partnership in his discovery. from medical
gentlemnn who has experimentally proved
its efficacy. ttf
Publishers of newspapers and periodicals,
at home and abroad, will be interested in
his communication and advertisement.

ANTIPHLoGIsrIo SALT-A Perfect Sub
stitute for the Lancet, Leeches and Blistersl
Of its intrinsic vdlue the enlightened com
munity, and not tie discoverer, must be the
judge.
When the undersigned, after long Sc
ries of laborious and costly experiments, be-
came fully confirmed in his conviction that
the Antiphlogistic Salt, which he now has
the happiness to present to the American
public, was an effectual substitute for blood
letting, leeches and blisters his mind was SO
agitated that he could not sleep for many
nights. The cause of his agitation was the
striking fact that the manner of its opera
tion, like that of the virus in vaccination,
could not be satisfactorily explained on any
known principle. How, IN t0hat way, it so
perfectly subdues inflamatory diseases and
no others, was at first wholly inexplicable
but on further experiment, it was proved
that by its power over the VEINS arteries
and glands, itequalizes the fluids ofthe body,
the want of an equilibrium in which, is the
sole cause of inflammation. Such is its po-
tency that, like the vaccine matter, it re-
quircs merely what adheres to the point Of
a quill dipped into solution of it, to effect
the entire system-but must be instantly
used to prevent decomposition and secure
its full virtue. Three quills in acute and
two in chronic diseases every "a hours, till
the febrile action has subsidized and perfect
cure effected. When it takes the place Of
blisters and leeches in local affections, as
brain fever, Group, pleurisy, &c, its mode Of
administration is two-fold. (See directions
for dissolving, &c.)
The discoverer has withheld it from the
public till now, by the advice of judicious
physician and valued friend whom he con-
sulted--a gentleman known and felt in the
medical world--and who desired to submit
it to the test of experiment. After witness
ing, under his own scrutinizing eye, its sig
nal triumph over both acute and chronic
infammdtory diseases none others) in re-
peated and re-repeated trials, he made a lib
eral effer to come in as special and equal
partner in the recipe for its manufacture,
but the proposal was rejected, Though en-
couraged by the zeal and good will of his
medical brother, he does not expect its ready
acceptance either with the public or the pro-
fession; for great error long sanctioned
by high authority, is but partially removed,
The disuse of the lancet and blsters, is de-
manded both by humanity and science
Is it not a mistake, to suppose that kettle
of boiling water (the inhamed blood will
cease to boil, by dipping out a part of it,
or cask of bad cider (mpurc blood) be
made good, by drawing off portion of it
Is it not mistake to suppose that blisters
and rubefacients will remove inflammation,
when they virtually superadd one inAama-
ton to another? The late Dr. B. Water.
house of Harvard University said-"I am
sick of learned quackery." One of the most
eminent physicians in New England ac-
knowledged just before his death, that she
had been doubling for many years whether
blood letting and blsters did not aggrauatt
rather than arrest disease" Some who
stand high in the old and new school, have
quite lately cspoused his views and now
openly confess, they believe the lancet, sc.
tons, leeches and stimulating ointments in
jure ten where they benefit one. They
think there is meaning to Deut. l2, l3--
Gen. 8, 4-and Levitt. II, 14-that "THE
BLOOD IS THE LIFE" 1t is not the excess Of
blood, (there never is too much) that causes
disease, butt want of balance between
the fluids and solids.
The special excellence of the Antiphlogis.
tic Salt is that without the useless loss Of
blood and strength, it effectually subdues in.
fammatory diseases (no others) by produc
ing an equilibrium of all the fluids and &
consequent uninterrupted circulation. 1t ex-
erts, like the vaccine matter, an eXtraordina
influence over the veins, arteries and glands
resulting in gradual decline of inhama
ton as indicated by the pulse, which sooT
resumes its natural state as the heat, feve
and pain disappear.
Many medicines offered for sale, are ac
companied by doubtful certificates, (thei
iefvirtuc,) and claim to be universal rem
edies, curing all maladies-a burIesque oil
common sense. As the discoverer of thi'
Salt solemnly protests against having j
placed in the category of frauds and impo
sitions he has resolved that it shall g
forth to the world, like the pure gold dollar
with no other passport than its own true
value. If the public find it genuine, they
viii receive it-if spurious they will rejec
and condemn it. ltdoes just what it claim
to do--no more, no less--equalizes the f,t
ids, by removing from the system all arte
rial, venous and glandular distractions. :
