sore throat diseased nose, nocturnal
pains in the head and limbs, -dimnsss of sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms,
blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro-
crossing with frghtful rapidity, till at last the
Dnlate of the mouth or the bones of the

TENDERS, who, by the use Of that deadly
Poison, Mercury &C., destroy tho Icon cGpnstutiona
