We understand that very large edition of this
work has been sold and that the demand for it is in
creasing. It may not be out of place to remark
here that Isaac W. Bliss the publisher of the work
has been known for many years by number of
our citizens having once been resident of this
city, ard citizen Of the State for twenty years.
Though personally unacquainted with him, we have
good authority for stating that he is an honest and
respectable man and perfectly sound on the slavery
question. Being himself STAKEHOLDER, no fears
need be entertained that he will interfere with the
domestic institution of the South. He has
been engaged in publishing and selling
books OF Southern prooucuon anu niano'@e
ture, and none other, ever since he came to
this State. Had every Southern man followed his
example, and pstronized Southern manufactures
alone for the past twenty years, the North would
long before now have felt their dependence on the
South and yielded to our rights; and instead OF
the present state Of chaos and confusion the Union
would to-day have been 3 unit.
Mr.. RLIss has had few Northern men with Sotah-
ern hearts employed as agents to sell the Medical
Adviser but to "avod even the appearance of evil"
these, we understand have been discharged SO that
now the entire corps of agents are Southern men.
As Mr.. Bliss has the exclusive control Of the
Medical Adviser, sells exclusively by subscription,
ana the work can only be had through him. it is but
fair to suppose that any one having the book for
sale is a regularly authorized agent and good
