REMEDY
Per the Difficulty of Hear-
ing.
Dr. D. GREEN
: AKES this method of letting society
know that he has discovered a new
and easy way of assisting those who are
hord of heering, quite a new way.
Knowing that Providence has permitted
‘a remedy to grow for every disease he
has made it his study, this number of years
‘past, to try to find out this remedy.
At length he flaiters himself of being
successful, more so than any man yet
‘The remedy generally gives help ex-
cept to very old people, ‘who began to
loose their eye-sight about the time that
the hearing becomes weakned. To all
‘others it as yet, has seldom failed of re-
storing that great blessing of hearing.
Directions can be sent to the patient
by post or otherways, to any place how-
ever distant. At the same time, it may
be some-what sattisfactory to those dis-
tressed to know that they may pursue
their usual business, and to eat and drink
what tastes best.
The preparing transmission, &c. of the
remedy, will" come to about five dollars.
One great object is to defuse its bene-
fits as far as possible, therefore, all prin-
ters who will give the above an occasion-
al insertion, shall receive its advantages
for themselves, or relatives in thus assist-
ing te place it ‘within the reach of the
distressed.
Mr. Editor, :
Many people in letters to me, express
a wish to have the principle, of cure
explained to them. This I cheerfully
will do.
Principle of cure is to invigorate the
‘whole system, for
« Whatever has a tendency to strength-
en the whole nervous system, necessarily
will strengthen any weak part.
Dr. Rush's Lectures.
This doctrine we have been taught in,
his lecture roomi-—and on this doctrine
my method of cure is founded. Now as
hard hearing is nothing more than a
weakness of the ears—it of course fol-
lows, that by strengthening the ‘whole
nervous system ;==this weakness wil
strengthened at the sams time ; conse-
quently, hearing returns
Farther—Perhaps it may not be amiss
to make known, that the ‘remedy 1s not
to be: put into the ears.
No—not even the least particle of it.
Putting things into them bas been the
ruin of thousands.
On the contrary, the reader will be
pleased to take notice that my principle
of cure goes quite the contrary way, al-
together so—and thus, by this contrary
way by this new way, (if we may ex-
press ourselves) a cure is perfected—and
that too, without any kind of danger to
the ears, and with very little trouble to
the patient,

IN June 1816, the Subcriberissued pro-
posals for a splendid, and in all respects

He advertised that the size of the pa-
per should be 36 by 24 inches; of the
best quality that Mr. Amies could man
ufacture.
The design in bas relief, encircling the
Declaration of Indepencence would be the
work of Mr. BriprorT. It was to be
surmounted by the Arms of the United.
States, and adorned with medallion Por-
traits of General Washington, John Han-
cock and Thomas Jefferson. The Arms
of the Thirteen United States in medalli
on, encircled by characteristic ornaments,
was meant to form the remainder of the
ordon.
The whole design was to be engraved
