The excitement of "the chase" has always

down the constitution, debilitates the frame,
and shortens life. We mean the headlong,
unintermitling hunt after 1.-The almighty dol

unnecessary to name) which precipitate the
tate of thousands. There is, however, poss
sibilitg of recovery from the prostration pro-
duced by these causes, long after their victim
has ceased to hope for it. IF we are rightly
informed, the most astonishing cnres of what
is called general weakness and deblitg which
have ever been known in this eouutry, have
been effected through the agency of Doct OF

etons of men, ont of whom the very princi-
pie of vitality seemed to have been drained
have beea restored to health and vigor by the
operation Of the Pills; and of the Ointm ent
in case of paralysis, rheum atism, &c, we heai
an eqnally favorable account. If meu viii
