In ca-esol General Dvliif.y, whether the result ot acute disease or of the continued d.minulioo of nervous and muscular energy from chronic con points, one trial of this restorative has proved snc ces.Mti! to an extent which no d scriprion nor writ t n attetration would lender credible. Invalids so ibns bed-ridden as to have become lot gotten in their own neighborhoods, have suddenly re-apfceared in the Illicit UVIJ/1 •' i--i - - .. • - sanguineous exhaustion, critical changes, and tout complication ot'nervous and dyspeptic aversion to atr and exercise for which the physician has no , name. In jVnvous Affections of all kinds, and for reason familiar to medical men, the operation ofihUprepa ration of lion must necessarily be salutary, for, un like the old oxides, it is vigorously tonsc, withou being exciting and over-heating t arid gentiy regut iariy aperieui, even in the most obstinate cases of costiveness, without ever beni£ a gastric purgative, or it dieting a disagreeable sensation. It is this latter property, among others, which makes it so reinafxably effectual and permanent a remedy for I't/es, upon which it also appeals to ex ert a distinct and specific action, by dispensing tt.o local tendency which forms them. In ]>v'>,epsia, innumerable as are its causes, a sing'e box of these Chalybeate Pills has often suffi ced for the most habitual cases. In unchecked Dtarrltera, even when advanced to Dystentery, confirmed, emaciating and apparently malignant, the effects have been equall decisive and astonishing. In the local pains, loss of flesh and strength, de bilitating cough, and remittent hectic, which gene rally indicate Incipient Con.iumption, this remedy has allayed the alarm of frier. Is and physicians, in several very gratifying and interesting instances. In Scrnfitlotts Tuberculosis, this medicated iroC has had tar more the good effect of tne most cau tiously balanced preparation* of iodine, without any of th°ir weil-krrown liabilities. The attention of females cannot be too confident ly invited to this remedy and restorative, in the ca ses pecu'iarly affecting them. in Rheumatism , both chronic and inflammatory, in the latter, however, more decidedly, it has been invariably well reported, both as alleviating pain and reducing the swelling., and stiffness of the joint* 3nd muscles. In lutemut'enl Fevers it must necessarily be a great remedy and energetic restorative,'and its pro gress in the new settlements of the West, wili pro bably be one of high renown and usefulness. No remedy has ever been discovered, in the whols" hi-tory ot medicine, which exerts such prompt hap py and fully restorative effects. Good appetite* complete digestion, rapid acquisition of strength, with an uriusuai disposition tor active and cheerful exercise, immediately follow its use.
