4 VALUABLE WoEK.-Dr. Gums New
Domestic Physician, or, Home Book of
Health, is new, ami valuable work, on dis
cases incident to men, women and children
by John c. Gum, M. D., of Louisville Ken.
tucky. DR.. Gum is a graduate OF the Med
ical Colleges at Philadelphia, London, and
Paris; and has been successful practicing
physician for nearly forty years, and is still
successfully plying his vocation. Thirty
years ago he published a work on medicine,
called "Gunn's Domestic Medicine" which
was justly popular work, and one tha &C.
quired large circulation; but the later
discoveries in Medical Science rendered an
Improved Domestic Medical work desirable,
and Dr. Gum has again become the instru-
ment Of good to the people, by bringing
within their own means, and TO their very
doors, the knowledge how to preserve their
health, or, if health is already impaired, how
to restore it. The new work gives many
valuable suggestions for avoiding diseases,
and prolonging lifa it also. (and in this is
its principal merit,) treats on all diseases
now known to the human family, pointing
out, in familiar language the causes and
sy mptoms and giving very minute directions
for the treatment; so that, if any person is
suddenly, or otherwise taken ii, with a dis
ease that he knows nothing about, he has
only to turn to Dr. Gunn's book, compare
symptoms, and when the disease is found
answering exectly to the symp toms of the
patient, he can turn to the treatment and doc
tor himself as safely as though he had a
physician at hand. Il
The work contains very full and com
ple.e treatise on the Passions and Emotions
such as Love, Hope, Joy, Affection, Anger,
Jealousy, Grief, Fear Despair, Avarice,
Charity, Checrsu!ness. Religion, &C., show
ing the influence CT the mind on the body,
as cause of hea lth of disease. Show
ing which Of the passions it is best to cult
vate, and which it is best (for the healthy to
subdue. 1t also contains complete list Of
all the principal remedies used in the troat
ment Of diseases, including nearly three
hundred medical plants, herbs, and Vegetable
remedies, with description of each, and di
rections for preparing and using them
That persons may be enabled to collect use
lul herbs themselves, without making mis-
take, the book contains large number Of
tuc sinaite cuts or representations Of the
plants. We should not forget to mention
also, that it contains treatise on nursing
tho sick, and the management OF the sick
room, which alone is worth ten times the
price Of the work. Where is the family in
all the land that does not, more or less frc-
quently, have one room in the house devo-
ted to the sick yet how few there are who
know tho first principles about the nursin z
Of the suffering ones. 1.-The spirit is will
ing but the flesh il wssk." In this work
the Diptheria, that modern scourge that has
hurried thousands to an untimely grave, is
fully treated Of, and remedies given. which
have been thorough; tried and proven to be
remedies.
e. B. Goodrich Esq is now in Red Wing,
canvassinS for the work. Those who de-
sire it had better subscribe at once, as they
may no; get a chance again, in long time.
Remember this book can only be had Of the

Der, or the first of November, but if there

till then, he has few now at Lowater's
Book Store, that he will supply them with.
