cation and responsibility, alone befriend him.
| He falls into the hands of ignorant and designing
pretenders, who, incapable of curing, fitch his
pecuniary substance, keep him trihing month
after month, as long the smallest fee can be
| obtained and with despair leave him with ruined
health to sigh over his CALLING disappointment, or
by the use of that deadly poison Mercury, hasten
