Notice.
For Public Consideration.
OMn no Instance has a prevalent infatuation been productive
of more deplorable couiciueiicea. than the blind conceslun that
the members of the medical profession alone are competent to
adtnlnUter remedirr for dueasc. The general countenance which
Is given to ilils prepoiterous pretension of an Interested elms. Is
one yf the most proline source of disease sutferiof and early
death. How many thousands of persons there are. at tills mo.
oient surrendering their constitutions to the Insfdiom inroads of
almost every variety or iiuumn malady from their reluctance to
Incur the expense of consulting a physician and from their silly
prejudice agalnstthe most simple medicfntf.onleM sanctioned by
Ihemjsiic authority of a pretendedly learned prescripton. If
lliey could see that prescription in plain Kngllsh.they ouj find
in a vast majority of cases that It ordered nothing In the world
but a little rhubarb.or senna or jalap or aloes mixed with surar
and water.and mystified with a little peppermint or some other
scented drug; and a simple cathartic like this Is generally efflca
clous. But the druggist keeps the precrlption; and when the pa-
tient eti III again he ha again lo consult the physician Inciead
of procuring for himself at a mere fraction of the original expend
tlii wonderful remedy which had relieved him. It Is thus that a
majority of the population of every civilized country surter dls
cacto work Its luldtous ay Into theij system because the re-
lief they derive from medical aid sat oneeeipensive transitory
and difficult of acecu; and thus Is exeiopl fled the memorable
CO..O..IU.I of an eminent phy.lcian that Prescriptions In the
Uonun lancuazc have indirectly killed more people than all the
Roman armies "
A medicine io compounded that it will cleans the alimentary
