It would be preposterous in a writer for the
readers of such a journal as the Courier, to
address their prejudices, passions or super
stitions. Good common sense should at least
be possessed by the readers of this pap, r , and
those possessed of such, and those only, do
we care to attract. We will now assert, in
the most unqualified terms, that an innocent
remedy has been found, that will absolutely
cure Rheumatism and stiffness of joints, if of
twenty years' standing. The assertion is so
broad, that it will hardly obtain credence, we
are aw .re, unless supported by uncommon
testimony. Now the testimony given to so
many worthless quackeries is so abundant.
