man in digging deep into the bowels of the
earth in search of curatives when all the best
and safest antidOtes to disease grow upon the
surface. The inspired writers, who must be
supposed to have derived their knowledge
directly from the Fountain of all Truth,
recommend none other than vegetable RENEE
dies. "The tree" we are told, "was made for
the healing of the nations" When King David
lapguished, it was the Balm of Giead' that
renewed his strengths "poultice of figs"

the Syrian olive) was poured into the hurts of
the wounded man by the wayside; hyssop,
myrrh and aoes were purgatiyes Of the pro-
phetic age; and the pure, fermented Juice Of

ated) was taken by Timothy for his stomach's
saker If the NINE as well as the TREE had
been made for the healing of the nations, is it
likely that the VIRTUES q Of Mercury would
have been hidden from the patriarchs!
The instincts Of the brute creation teach
them how to doctor themselves, and they in
variaby stick to VEGETABLE MEDICATION. The
mong Dose, when bitten by deadly serpent
eats of certain herb, and thereby neutIalizes
the virus injected into its veins; the sick dog
eats grass and many other animals, guided by
that faculty which serves them in the place Of
reason, find balsams for their injuries and all
ments in the woods and fields.
These indications that the Vegetable King
dom is the true MateIia Medica arc conoboT-
ted by daily experience, and the time is not
far distant when this fact viii be universally
admitted.
Without dspaTagcment TO other botanical
remedies, it may be fairly claimed that the
combination Of vegetable preventiyes and
