To the Homespathists Of the United
LIZ

In the treatment of Yellow Fever in past
epidemics, as in the present scourge which is
d'cimating our city, the Homeopathic prac.
tice has shown highly favorable results, and
hence. for humanity's sake, should be more
literally extended to our present suffering peo-
pie. We are dong all in our power in the
emergency, but our means. limited to local
sources, are sadly inadequate to meet the dis
treesiLg demands daily increasing.
General contributions from abroad sent to
other associations are applied to the sick
through Allopathic practice, those of the
afflicted desiring Homeopathic treatment de-
irving little benefit therefrom. To reach, to
aid, and to save some of the many who desire
and solicit the latter treatment, we especially
appeal to the kind charity and generous benev.
olence of the physicians, associations and
friends of the practice. hoping and believing
that we shall receive such immediate attention
and assistance as this most worthy of causes,
fully merits.
Remittances, made through any public chan.
mel to the undersigned officers at the associa-
ti0n rooms 1872 Canal street will be promptly
acknowledged and judiciously applied.
