DR. JAcKso N.-We take much pleasure in
saying to our readers that DIR. JACKSON, the
celebrated Reform Botanic and Indian Physi-
Thursday, July 10TH The DIR. reputation
stands deservedly high, and tho afflicted will
do we'll 10 avail themselves Of this opportunity
of consulting HIN. But we prefer letting him
speak for himself. In his circular he says /:
Nature is the great physician. The prov
ince of Medicine is simply to assist her opera
5tions ; ard where NO assistance is required,
where nature is perfectly competent to throw
off disease, the use of Medicine is not only un-
necessary, but many times positively injurious.
The complicated machinery of the. human
frame, we are aware, is liable to become derapg-
ed from7a thousand causes it nevertheless
possesses generatlya vital energy-suficient
to effect its own repairs. There are, however,
many cases where nature seems incompetent
to throw of disease. Here we must resort tc
the ire of such means as experience teaches
US afford the most prompt and %effectual relief.
/ do not pretend to be q cure all Doctor, but
claim to treat successfully all durable diseases.
L have now travelled over six years, and in
that time have prescribed for over $1,000 per-
sons, with what success / leave the public to
Judge. / also have at the present time some
2,200 patients in the forty counties which /
visit. In no instance have ] ever found pa
tients to fail of being relieved-evcn when
they could not hope to be radically cured.

money in gathering from the Red man the
knowledge which enables them to combat dis

Remedies which will build up and fortify the
constitution against the fell destroyer, aid and
assist nature in overcoming this terrible dis
ease. In this way only can consumption be
successfully treated and cured. e-e93f e =,
In other diseases I know of no pills, pow
ders or syrups, patent medicines or nostrums,
which will cure in all cases. The physician
must prescribe for his patients as he finds them,
and not as they might be. Discriminating
closely between patients is the difficult part in
prescribing medicines. The strength Of con-
stitution, habits Of life, temperament, &c. &C.,
make 1t absurd to think that one compound or
medicine will cure all cases, even supposing
all have the same SYMPTOMS or diseases. Much
also. depends upon the patient. Few persons
have had occasion to treat chronic diseases
more extensively than myself-and with the
most gratifying results-yete every day conyin
ces me more andsmore of the importance of
the intelligent cooperation of the ratient with
his physician. I am always happy when in
my power to afford relief to the sick, but can
only DO so by pointing out the way, and furn-
ishing proper remedies, and unless the patient
is willing to incur the necessary trouble and
tic follow instructions perseverir g y, I cannot
be answerable for results. / also claim in all
cases to prescribe remedies which are calcula-
ted to remove the original causes of disease,
and do not doctor symptoms, but make use of
the proper course to remove the cause Ibis
done, the SYMPTOMS mus t necessarily cease,
