AMLYZATIOK;
Or, What are Mortals Made of .
AS SUNG BY MR. BURTON.
Iv’e travelled over the natidn,
And every gradation,
And can t«-ll what mortals are made of.
What are lawyers made of, made of’
Os clients and lees, of eri ors and pleas,
Os courts of King's bench, where bills they
retrench,
Ix>ng, brief, and a terrible ease,
Tax, cost, and a very wry face;
And such are our lawyers made of, made off
And such are our lawyers made ot.
What are old maids made of, made of?
What are old maids made ot!
Os throw away sighs, and crow’s feet eyes,
Os sprigs of rue, and vinegar too,
Long tongue, and faltering walk,
Chit chat, and slander to talk ;
And such are old maids made of,
And such are old maids made of.
What are the ladies made of, made of?
What are ladies made of?
Os puffs and frills, their beaux for to kill,
Os their heaving a sigh till they make the men
die:
They marry the man that comes from afar,
And their children soon cry,mamma,and papa;
And such are the ladies made of,
And such are the ladies made of?
What are the dandies made of. made of?
What are the dandies made of?
Os padding and puff, of whiskers and snuff,
Os a glass to the eye, when a female is nigh,
False collar, and calves head hair,
Stays, lace, and a head like a bear,
And such are dandies made of,
And such are dandies made of.
What are our actors made of, made of?
. What are our actors made of?
Os Forrest and Cooper, and Booth— indeed,
Os Scott and Barnes, and Mr. Placide,
Os Murdoch and Oxley, and .Mr. J. Sefton,
And Billy Burton, who is inferior to none;
And such are our actors made of,
And such are our actors made of.
What is a steam boat made of made of?
What is a steam boat made of?
Ofboiling hot water, mamma her daughter, ;
A bell and a ringer to call yen to dinner,
The sum, half a dollar, —not dear at the price, |
For roast beef and mustard, potatoes and rice;
And sueh is a steamboat made of,
And such is a steamboat made of. j
Laughable Anecdots. — La Fayette made i
me laugh with a story which h > said the i
English officers had loid him of General Kny
phauseu, who commanded the Hessian mer
cenaries in 1776 This officer, a rigid
martinet, knew nothing of the sea, and not
much more of geography. Ou the voyage
between England and America, lie was in the
ship of Lord Howe, where he passed some
uncomfrotable weeks, the fleet having an
unusually long passage, on account el the
bad sailing of some of the transports. At
length Knyphausen could contain himself no
longer, but, marching stiffly up to tne admiral
one day, he commenced—“My lord, I know
it is the duty of a soldierto be submissive at
sea, but, being entrusted with the care of the
troops of nis Serene Highness, my master, 1
feel it my duty just to enquire if it be not'
possible that, during some of the dark nights
we have lately had, we may have s ided past
America!” — Cooper's Residence in France.
The svm of human happiness.— “ Were I
offered the choice,” said Byron, “either to
live over again, or to live as many yeais more
onward, I should certainly prefer the first; yet
mv young days have been vastly more un
happy than I believe those of other men
commonly are. I once attempted to enumer
ate the days I had lived which might* accord
ing to the common use of language, be called
hajipy. I could never make them amount to
more than eleven, and I believe I have a very
distinct remembrance of every one. I often
ask myself, whether, between the present time
nnd the day of my death. I shall be able to
make up the round dozen.” Such is the sum
total of tinman happiness!
An Arabian caliph, who wrote his own life,
assures us that he had fourteen days of happi
ness. Gibbon tells the story after him, and
boasts that he had exceeded the commander
of the faithful —he does not state how much,
perhaps bv double.
Were I to choose my lot in life, I would
not be a poet, though it is possible for a poet
to get through life tolerably easy—yet the
chance is against him.
After all, r. bustling man of business, one
who has not leisure to think of the ids of life,
nor any great acuteness of sensibility to ex
pose him to their attacks—such a man has
the best chance of happiness.
Some Frenchman, I forget who, has stated,
that t® enjoy this world, one must have a good
stomach and a bad heart. I think a man
may have both, and be very miserable- To
be happy, be devout.
Plain Dealing.— During Sir Robert Wal
pole’s Administration, when bribery was com
mon, if not universal, there was one particular
question which he wanted to carry in the
House of Commons, to which he knew there
would be violent opposition, and which was
disliked by some of his own dependents. As
he was passing through the Court of Requests,
he met a member of the opposite party, whose
avarice, he imagined, would not reject a large
bribe. He took him aside, and said, ‘Such a
question comes on this day. give me your vote,
and here is a bank bill of 2000Z.,’ which he
put into his hands. The member made his
answer—“ Sir Robert, you have lately served
some of my particular friends; and when my
wife was last at Court the King was very
gracious to her, which must have happened
at your insta: ce. I should therefore, think
myself very ungrateful (putting the Bank bill
into his pocket) if I were to refuse the favor
von are pleased to ask of me.— Book of Tabic
Talk.
A merchant, a few miles from Petersburgh,
Viu, on opening a hogshead of hardware, and
comparing its contents with the invoice of it
found a hammer less than was charged there
in. This he mentioned to a young Irishman,
his assistant, who immediately exclaimed,
“och, my honey, don’t be after bothering your
head about that, didn’t the negar take it out of
the hogshead to open it withl”
A foreigner just arrived observed an owl,
twh'ch a farmer had brought in for sale. “Pray,
what do you ask for this turkey?’’ said the fo
reigner. “Why, sir, this is an owl.” “I don’t
care how ould it is—only tell me your price.”

On Preserving- Vegetables.
. The preservation of vegetables for future
i use is effected by destroying or rendering dor-
I mant the principle of life, and by warding off.
; as tar as practicable, the progress of chemical
, decomposition,—When vegetables or fruits
. are gathered for use or preservation, the air
fol the atmosphere which surrounds them is
i continually depriving them of carbon, and
| forming the carbonic acid gas. The water
j they contain, bv its softening qualities weakens
i the affinity of their elements; and heat produ-
J res the same effect by dilating their parts, and
j promoting the decomposing effect, both of air
j and water. Hence, drying in the sun or o
ve-:s, is one of the most obvious modes of ore
serving vegetables for use as a food, or for oth
er purposes, but not for growth, if the drying
process is carried so far as to destroy the prin
> c:p!e of life in seeds, roots, or sections of the
shoots of ligenous (woody) plants. Potatoes,
turnips, and other esculent roots may be pre
served from autumn to the following summer,
by burying them in perfectly dry soil which
shall be at the same time at a temperature but
a few degrees above the freezing point- Corn
[grain] maybe preserved many years by first
drying it thoroughly in the sun, and burying
in dry cool pits, enclosing these so as effectu
ally to exclude the atmospheric air. In a
short time the air witbin is changed to carbo
i me acid gas, in which no animal will live, and
I in which, without the addition of oxygen or
j atmospheric air, no plant or seed will vegetate.
; The corn is thus preserved from decomposition
I from insects, vermin, and from vegetation, in
■ a far more effectual manner than it can bo in a
, granary. In this way the Romans preserved
I their corn in chambers hewn out of dry rock,
I the Moors in the sides of hills, the Chinese at
I the present time in deep pits of dry soil, and
I the aboriginal natives, in earthen vessels her-
I metrically sealed. The origin of these prac
i eices are all obvious imitations of what acci
j' dentally takes place in nature, from withered
| grassy tussocks to the hedge hog’s winter store;
| and hence, the origin of herb, seed, and root
i roomsand cellais, and packing and plants and
! seeds for sending to adistance,— Enc. of Agr
Taking- carco? Cattle in Winter.
As the Farmer is designed to be the vehicle,
I through which we “Lords of the soil” may
communicate our ideas to each other, and be
lieving it is due to ourselves to improve the
means provided for us, I thought it might not
be inappropriate to say a word upon taking
care of cattle during the winter months. Con
sidering that they are dependent upon man for
their supplies of food and comfort, during our
long and severe winters—and, as the object
of keeping a stock of cattle is for profit, we
ought to study the most economical mode of
keeping them—not that i would wish to keep i
them in such a manner, that it is with tin’ ■
greatest difficulty they can climb “May Hili” ■
—that would be to use one of Mr. Holmes’
ideas, “saving at the spigot and pouring
at the bung.” But the ways and means should
be devised, of keeping them in good health
and spirits the whole year.—And, as the win
ter is the most important season, I give you
my ideas of what I conceive to be a good me
thod of managing them during the cold weather,
We will suppose, that every prudent farmer
has secured his cattle from the winds, by
stopping the cracks of his barn, &c. If not,
I would recommend, that it be done immedi
ately—and, instead of permitting the cattle to
remain about the barn, and nossibly in the
highway, to the inconvenience of the traveller,
or they may have strolled to some of the neigh
bors’ barns and houses, where they may get
a sound beating for their trespasses.—l should
recommend, that they be watered in the morn
ing and tied np till night, when they should
be again watered as before.—They may be j
fed in the dav with straw or other coarse food, j
as is usually fed them in the yard, which they
will eat much cleaner than when they run
over it with their feet, as is the case when fed
m the yard. And they will not have so craving
an appetite for hay, as when they have been
standing in the cold ali day with the same a
mount of food out of doors. And I think that
any one will give in, that they must have been
more comfortable. I have adopted the afore
said plan, and am convinced, that, in a small
stack of cattle, say 18, I shall save one ton of
hay this season —besides, my cattle never
looked so well before in the winter, and the
cows yield more milk.— Alaine Farmer.
On the employment of Cats in the preserva
tion of fruit from Birds. — “Robert Brook, Esq.
of Melton Lodge, near Woodbridge, in Suf
folk, has four or five cats, each with a collar,
and light chain and swivel, about a yard long,
with the large iron ring at the end. As soon
as the gooseberries, currants, and raspberries
begin to ripen, a small stake is driven into the
ground, or bed, near the trees to be protected,
leaving about a yard and a half of the stake
above ground; the ring is slipped over the head
ofthe stake, and the. cat, thusfethered in sight
of the trees, no birds will approach them.
Cherry treesand wall-fruit trees are protected
in the same manner as they successively ripen.
Each cat, byway of a shed, has one of the
largest sized flower-pots laid on its side, with
in reach of its chain, with a little hay or straw
in bad weather, and her food and water placed
near her.
“In confirmation of Mr. Kendall’s state
ment, it may be added, that a wall of vines be
tween 200 and 300 yards long, in the nursery
of Mr. Kirke, at Brompton, the fruit of which
m all previous seasons had been very much in
jured by birds, was last year completely pro
tected in consequence of a cat having volun
j tardy posted himself sentry upon it.”

Orchard Grass and the yellow Bird. — A per
son who is fond of nature’s music and her
“winged flowers,” cannot do better than to
I sow a quantity ofthe orchard grass for the ac
commodation of the cheerful and beautiful
vellow bird. From the time that its seeds arc
1 fairlv out of the blow until they are fallen ofl
or devoured, a patch of this grass will be fre
quented by these little birds in troops, singing
and eating alternately from “morn till dewy
eve.” In getting the seed it displays a tact
quite amusing, lighting on the, tail stems of the
grass, it gently sways them down, and gener
ally some ofthe heads in this process ol set
j fling will come within reach. Should none
I be convenient, for picking from, it will draw
! one ofthe heads to it, as it sits perched on the
1 stem, and holding it with one of its feet, finish
the seed at its leisure. So fond is this bird ol
the orchard grass, that where a person has but
a small quantity, and is anxious to save it for
seed, it will be necessary to cut it as soon as
the seed is sufficiently matured for giowing,
which will b:: when flic stalk and head b«i-
CJme partially dried, and brown. G.
PROPOSALS
For publishing in the Town of Washington,
■ (Geo.) a weelily periodical, to be. devoted
to the cause of the Botanical System
of Medicine, entitled
Th© Sotasloal
! In launching forth upon the world, and as
i suming the responsibility of such a design, we
I are aware that many obstacles will naturally
| arise as obstructions to this great undertaking;
| and that we shall subject ourselves to the con
tempt of some, and the ridicule of others. But
believing as we do, that not only our own inter
est, as well as the interest of many of our fellow
beings, is involved in the promulgation of cor
rect knowledge upon the subject of this per
secuted system of Medical Reform, we are de
termined to bear the reproach that may be heap
ed upon us, looking lor a reward in the success
which may attend our exertions.
This publication is designed tor the dissem
ination of truth in support of the Botanical Sys
tem of Medicine; and such ottier information
upon the treatment and cure of diseases, as
may be for the general good of its readers.
| With this brief and comprehensive view of
tne subject, we shall leave the design with the
I friends of the cause in Georgia. It is (the
I system) evidently increasing both in interest
and numbers; but, cannot flourish to any great
extent, unless assisted by the circulation of a
well conducted periodical. And we do hope,
that the friends of the cause will not cease their
efforts until the storm olprejudice and persecu
tion has subsided, and a copy of this work is
found in every family.
The work shall be issued, as soon as 800
subscribers are obtained. It shall appear on
superior medium paper, containing 16 octavo
pages per week, at $5 per annum, payable on
the reception of the first number. Thus mak
ing a volume of 832 pages per year.
The services of a gentleman of tallents and
medical attainments will be secured as editor
of the above work. And we assure the public
generally, that.no pains shall be spared to make
it both useful and interesting.
We request that subscription papers may be
returned to us at Athens, Geo, by the 20th
of December next.
oO”Editors in thia, and the adjoining States,
are respectfully solicited to give the above a
few insertions.
PRICE & LANCASTER.
Induced by the extraordinary sale of his beau
tiful edition of MARRYATT’S NOVELS, the
Publisher of those works will, on the first day ol
July, commence in the same faultless style, an
edition of the celebrated
12 siliteNovels 9
Comprising— Pelham, Devereux, Disowned, Eu
gene Aram, Rienzi, Paul Clifford, Last Days of
Pompeii, Falkland, Pilgrims of the Rhine,
Making an uniform edition of nearly 1500 pages
—four hundred more than Marryatt. They
will be published in semi-monthly numbers,
each of which will contain one complete work,
with title-page and cover. The whole series
will be completed in eight numbers, and will be
furnished to Subscribers at the extraordinary
low price of three dollars and fifty cents, paya
ble in advance. They will be sent by mail,
carefully packed, to any part of the U. States
or Canada.
Three complete sets may be had for ten dol
lars, by directing orders to that effect, enclosing
the cash (postage paid) to “ Office of Republi
cation of Popular Novelists.”

Popular Novelists." (
NOTICE.
The publication of the above, as stated, will
be commenced in July. The trifling delay, that
took place in the regular publication of the
Marryatt Novels, and which was occasioned by
the frequent reprints of the early numbers, and
the uncommon severity of the winter, which
prevented the making and transporting of pa
per, need not be expected in the Bulwer. No
vels. The Subscriber did not anticipate the
very favorable reception that Marryatt would
meet with. He thought the sale would be large
—but not enormous—and is now better able to
judge what number of copies it will be neces
sary to print; added to which, the pub ea ion
will be commenced and concluded before lue se
verity of winter commences.
In another point, the experience of the pre
vious publication has suggested an improvement
in a future. Where more than one Subscriber
resides in a place, the numbers will be sent flat,
and not folded. They will then be received by
the Subscriber in as good order as if taken im
mediately from the Proprietor’s Office. This
will be a great improvement.
In January next another republication of some
celebrated modern Novelist, will take place, eith
er James, Cooper, Irving, or some other of e
qual repute. It is determined by the present
Publisher, that the American public shall be
furnished with the most beautiful, and at the
same time cheap, edition of modern Novelists
extant.
As soon as an authenticated Portrait of
Captain Marryatt can be obtained, the Subscri
ber will have it engraved for his edition of the
Jfarryatt Novels.

The work commenced with “St. Petersburg,
Constantinople and 'oqioli Di Romani,” by Ba
ron Von Tietz, which maybe had complete, ei
ther in numbers, or tllbound, forming vol.
I. of Foster’s Cabinet Aliscellany. It is follow
ed by a “Steam Voyage down I ;.e Danube, with
Sketches of Hungary, Vv ailacdia, Servla, Tur
key, &c.” By Michael J. <. .tiin, author of a
‘Visit to Spain,’ Ac. The first part of which
has already appeared. Both these works have
been noticed by the reviewers of England with
unqualified praise.
The proprietor oftlfis we •?< is impressed with
the opinion that intiiz?tiy ot abstruse .md
learned treatises, tin :; is an .iple demand, on
the part of the reading public frn- literary matter
of a higher denomin. Jmn than the new works
of fiction which are a’ present so prodigally dis
seminated among tire.-.:, and for books that shall
have, a higher ami l.’u n the mere amusement
and gratification oft!.. i de; he feels assured
also that, with a modi rate degree cf care and
research, selections ma', easily be made among
the literature of the de v,' which shall not be de
ficient in rational am;t.--m -nt, even while they
are serving the nohl t purposes of informing
the mind, or improving tm- experience. With
this opinion and as; :ir:>uc•• he has been induced
jto commence the pres,mt series, in which he
will endeavor to <‘m:.odv subjects worthy ot
being collected and retained, tor the purpose ol
re-perusal, reflection, or reference, and which
may not deteriorate the character of a gentle
man’s library.
Mr. Constable, cf Edinburgh, was the first to
discover that a signal service might be perform
ed to the world, by cmla dying, in a. cheap and
compact form, a sei ’-s of publi-ations that
should have utility as tb.e.ir primary object, but
rational amusement in the maimer of their con
coction. By issuing asm ill poitioti at a lime,
and in frequent sueee.wsion, lie conceived that
he should impel the generality of his readers—
not the studious or the literary ones, of course
—to keep up with the publication, and not allow
their reading to run in arrear. By a well-timed
and well-judged selection of articles it is believ
ed that he accomplished, not only this ostensi
ble object, but a secret and more important one.
Gradually a desire for more solid reading in
creased in society, and that which originally
began in the hope of amusement, was continu
ed in the wish for information. Useful matter
was published at a comparatively cheap rate, it
was continually accmnulatiug, yet the expense
was hardly felt. Encouraged by his success,
the enterprising publisher began to insert new
matter m fiis selections, and the public in return
rewarded his exertions and expenses by en
larged patronage.
Were Constable's Miscellany current in the
United States, perhaps th;- publisher of the pre
sent series would not have found it expedient
to commence the l.itt. r work. But, be it re
membered, that in speaking ol' the cheapness of
(’’ou- • !4c, it i» but. ;• •..'/<■•“/// t»s coni pet reel with
the publications in Great Britain generally,
which is dearur than that of any part of the
world. Constable’s Miscellany is published at
about half the English rate, but the present v. ork
purposes to be at one-thjrd even ot Constable.
The object then of Foster’s Cabinet Miscella
ny may be easily explained. It is to introduce
to the reading public, a series of works that
shall blend entertainment with information—
that shall take off the edge of the voracious ap
petite for mere fiction, which has been brought
on by too great a profusion of works of shat de
scription—that shall gradually form a collection
of writings which may be referred to with sat
isfaction at a future day, whether to elucidate a
doubtful point, to refresh the memory, or to
compare with a more recent writer; that may
be an ornament to any private
tion; and that shall be
been issued.
The works collected in Foster’s Cabitiei Mis
cellany, will be in every range of pe lite litera
ture. It is intended to suit, as much, as pos
sible, every taste, and by an agreeable variety
of subjects as well as styles, to keep up a heal
thy excitement for rational entertainment.
Works of great length, of severe and deep in
vestigation, and of the more abstruse sciences
will, of course, find no pliee here. 11 is of the
cheerful, elegant and easy writings of the dav,
that the selections will be made: always keep
ing in view, that only substantially ;;ood works
will be introduced: in order to wb/ch the pub
lisher will use every means to satisfy himself,
before he commits a work io press.
It is trusted that the Cabinet Miscellany will
be a melange of all that is valuable in modern
literature; it will assuredly be t’he medium ol
introducing works which would hardly find
their way to the American pubbic generally,
through any other source. It w ill present them
at prices varying from one-fourth to one-sixth,
and in some cases even one-eighth of the Eng
lish cost; and the execution, it is hoped, will
meet with geneial approval.

OF THE
EGUTESS*? BBVIEW.
i ryW be published at Washington,quarterly, in
i Al an Bvo. No. of 275 to 300 pages, price $5
par annum, payable in advance. The place
is chosen, not only forks facilties of information
literary and political, but as that at which the
Southern State can be united upon the under
taking, with the greatest ease, and with the
I coinnletest exemption from all State or Party
jealousies.
Os the matter 1 three-fourths (say 225 pp.)
shall consist of regular Reviews; making about
9of 25 pp. each. These must,as literary works
at least, return as a general rule, somewhat to
wards that older method, now almost forgotten
anil give a regular analysis of the book reviewed,
lititbe of any merit. In Politics and upon Oc
i casional Topics, there may be a greater liberty
i of deviating into mere disquistition.
In this portion of the Review, there will be
I given, in each No. a paper historical of the
Politics and general events of the day; to
i serve as a Historical Register. Its execution
' will alway be committed to the strongest hands
. only; and its purpose, to give a unity and c.on
! sistency to the Public Doctrines ol the Review
I sueh as can scarcely be so well effected in any
i other manner.
Occasional Retrospective Reviews will also he
: emboLied in this part of the plan, with a view
j offavoring, in a certain degree, the more curi
.l ous studies; or to revive the knowledge of im
portant books, forgotten in the contusion of
. . modern learning.
! AVriters will be led, of regnla.i purpose to give
| their papers, wherever the subject will permit,
i the form of a Series; in older not only that they
i may thus afford a completer body ofinformation,
: serve, also, to re-print apart, for popular circu
lation; a method that will much augment both
i the reputation and usefulness of the Review.
A body of some 5(1 pp.) will
form the' subordinate and more amusing part
lof the Journal. Its contents will be somewhat
various; but will, for the most part, consist ot
j short Literary Notices; Bibliograpical Articles;
' , a critical list of iVeto Publications, foreign and
' domestic, and general Literary, Intelligence.
In Communications, the most compressed
; mode of writing will be every where required.
! Papers, in which the works do not bear a just
proportion to the information conveyed or the
! effect intended, will be either rejected, without
I scruple, or abridged, without iiihcj.
To warrant this exaction- the usual rate of
; compansation to writers will Le advanced to
2 1-2 dollars per printed page; a price that will
offer fair remuneration to th- talents and labor
j which we wish to secure.
Os this revival of a Review ot the South, the
: purpose is, to give once more to our region, (now
I eminently needing it) an Interpreter and a De
j fender; the common Representative of our In

' and of rescuing the country.

Where Reform is hopeless and even useless,

through itself to confer upon us the blessings of
i well-ordered Liberty, expected in vain from the
I Federal Power: from the delusions o’ Party

j have often raised petty States into noble and
■ prosperous Commonwealths; to attach men, i
iif possible.to their birth-place,and convert them, 1
! from wandering and selfish adventurers, ini'
; citizens, the lovers of civilization: to re-animate j
public spirit, anil give it purpose, as well as j
| energy; to hold, over Parties and Politicians, the I
; tribunal of a Public Opinion far different from !
- that idle and corrupt one. of which the News- j
: papar Press is the voice; for these purposes, to j
diffuse through the land sound nnd well eon
j sidered public doctrines, with Knowledge and
Taste, their natural allies such will be the gen
eral aim of that literary league, amorg the best
talents of the country, which has been set on
foot, in the present undertaking.
Os its critical purposes,it is not necessary to
speak so minutely. In general, it will of course,
strive to guide the popular taste towards the
best sources, in Knowledge, and the truest
models in Elegant Letters. Its judgments will
however, found themselves upon dent of his
temporary renown, nor that of his birth on
this or the other s ide of the Atlantic. Towards
the few good writers, that want of cultivation
has yet permitted us to have, in America, it will
know how to be respectful. But in Literature, I
as lately in Trade, we shall insist that no man’s
bad commodity be forced upon us, under pat
riotic pretences. Upon all that school of wri

Concentrated Sarsaparilla,
for the cure of Scrofulous, Mercurial, Syphi
litic, and other diseases, which depend
upon a Scrofulous habit of body,
IS prepared by a new process, without boiling,
and is warranted to contain, in a concentra
ted form, the active principles of the root, ob
tained from the most approved species of ami
lax.
Its efficacy has been repeatedly tested in pri
vate practice in the successful treatment ofthe
worst forms ofthe diseases, for the cure of which
Sarsaparilla is recommended, after other pre
parations of that medicine, the Panacea, tec;
had been used without effect. A number of ca
ses of extensive ulcerations, and affections ot
the bones, in simple scrofula, and in Mercurial
and Syphilitic diseases, have been permanently
cured by its use in three months, without any
other treatment, except the most simple appli
cations to the parts diseased. A trial of two or
three bottles, in similar cases, will prove the ef
ficacy and importance ofthe preparation.
It has been found particularly useful after cal
omel, where that medicine has been given too
freely in scrofulous habits, or in cure of a cer
tain disease. It is admirably calculated, in such
cases, to remove all disease from the body, and
restore the usual vigor of the constitution; and
may be taken with safety and advantage when
the system is mercurialized. The use of one
or two bottles, on ordinary occasions ofthe kihd 1 ,
will prove an effectual security agamst secon
dary diseases; and in recent cases, will effect a
perfect cure, after three or four doses of calomel,
of five or eight grains each, night and morning,
have been taken, followed by salts, and the usu
al local treatment.
