ANTIPII LOGIS TIC SALT.
A PERFECT SUBSTITUTE
For the Lancet, Leeches and Blisters !
OF ITS INTRINSIC VALUE THE EN
LIGHTENED COMMUNITY AND
NOT THE DISCOVERER
MUST BE THE JUDGE I
HANY medicines offered for sale are IiCCOM
IVI ponied by doubtful certificates (their chief
value') and claim to be universal remedies, cu
ring all maladies—a burlesque on common
sense. As the discoverer of this Salt solemnly
protests against having it placed on the catego
ry of frauds and itnpositions, he has resolved
that it shall go forth to the world like the pure
gold dollar, wit no other passport than its own
true value. If the public find it genuine they
will receive it—if spurious they will reject and
condemn it. Instead of its being a panacea for
all ills it has control over but one ill—has but
one aim and accomplishes but one thing, to
wit ;subdoes inflammatory diseases—whatever
be their form or locality, whether in the head,
throat, chest, abdomen, extremeties or skin.
When the discoverer, after a long series of
laborious and costly experiments, became fully
confirmed in his conviction that the Antiphlo•
glade Salt, which he now has the happiness to
present to the Americanpublic, was a
PERFECT SUBSTITUTE
for Bloodletting, Leeches and Blisters, bin
mind was so agitated that he could not sleep
for many nights. The cause of his agitation
was the striking fact that the manner of its op.
erasion, like that of the virus in vaccination,
could not be explained upon any known rinci
ple. How, in what way, it so effectually sub
-1 dues inflammatory diseases and no others, wee
I at first wholly inexplicable; but on further ex.
periment it wan proved that by its power over
the veins, arteries and glands, it equalizes the
fluids of the body, the want of an equilibrium
in which is the sole cause of inflammation. It
exerts like the vaccine matter, an extraordina•
ry influence over the circulation—resulting in
a gradual decline of inflammation as indicated
by the pulse which soon resumes its natural
ewe, as the pain and heat disappear. Such is
its potency, that like the virus just mentioned,
it requires merely what adheres to the point of
a quill dipi ed in a solution of it to affect the
entire system—but must be instantly used to
prevent decomposition, and secure its full vir.
tae. Three quills in acute, and two in chronic
disease every 24 hours, till the heat and fever
have subsided and a perfect cure is efETted.—
When it takes the place of leeches, stimulating
ointments and blisters in lucid inflammation,
as Brain Fever, Croup, Toothache. Pleurisy,
&c., its mode of administration is twofold.
(See 'Erections for dissolving, &c.)
IWThe peculiar excellence of this Salt is,
that without the useless loss of blond and
strength, it effectually cures inflammatory dis•
eases (no others) by producing an equilibrium
of all the fluids of the body and a conseqeent
uninterrupted circulation. The following dlr.
ferent Arms which the unbalanced fluids as•
some and many.not here mentioned, that have'
more or less fever and pain, are as perfectly
subdued by the Antiphlogistic Salt, us fire is
extinguished by water.
I—Cases cohere the unbalanced fluids affect
the Head and Throat—to wit: Brain Fever,
Headache, Fits, inflamed Eyes, Ears and Nose
Canker, Neuralgia, Erysipelas, Bronchitis, &c.
2—Cases where the .. unbalat'iced fluids affect
the Chest and Abdomen—to wit:
.Pleurisy,
Asthma. Inflamed Limps nod Liver, Colic',
Heartburn, Coughs. Dyspepsia, Gravel, Gonor•
rhea, Venereal, &e.
3—Cases where the unbalanced fluids affect
the Extremeties and Skin—to wit :Rheumatism
Gout, Scrofula, Chick.: and S null Pox, Salt
Rheum, and all Itching and other Cutaneous
Eruptions.
. . . . . . -
This Salt greatly alleviates the 'inflammatory
pains peculiar to married Indies (before and at
the time of confinement) and many Female
Complaints and is very efficacious in Fevers,
Ague, Wounds, Nervous and Spinal affections,
and any other forms of (mark thin)
tory disease, attended with heat or febrile symp.
toms.
Persons who have a tendency of blood to the
head and heart, and who lead inactive lives, or
breathe the impure air of manufactories and
the poisonous fumes of metals and minerals, or
live in unhealthy climates are exposed to a pe
culiar citation cf the ftttide of the body, which
one dose, without interfering with diet or busi•
nem, once its three months, would invariably
prevent. It is believed to afford protection a.
gainst infectious diseases ;• and therefore, it is
recommended to travellers, sailors and sol.
diers.
To protect the community from imposition
by counterfeits, the proprietor will employ no
Agent, and has made such arrangements that
he can send the medicine in any quantity, by
mail or express, to any part of the United

Constitutional Debility, Impotency, Weakness
of the Back and Limbs, Affections of the Kid—
neys, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Ner
vous Irritability, Disease of the head, Throat,
Nose or Skin ; and all those serious and melan
choly disorders arising from the destructive
habits of Youth, which destroys both body and
mind. These secret and solitary practices are
more fatal to their victims than the song of the
Syrens to the mariner Ulysses, blighting their
most brilliant hopes of anticipations, rendering
marriage, &c., impossible.
Young Men,
especially, who have become the victims of Sol
itary Vice, that dreadful and destructive habit,
which annually sweeps to an untimely grave,
thousands of young men of the most exalted
talents, and brilliant intellect, who might oth
erwise hove entranced listening senates with
the thunders of eloquence, or waked to eestacy
the living lyre, may call with all confidence.
Marriage. •
Married persons, or young men contempla
ting marriage, being aware of physical weak
ness, organic debility, deformities, &c.;should
immediately consult Dr. Johnston.
Ile who places himself under the care of Dr.
Johnston may religiously confide in his honor no
a gentleman, and confidently rely upon his skill
as a physician.
Organic Weakness.

This disease is the penalty most frequently
paid by those who have become the victim of
improper indulgencies. YGung persons are too
apt to commit excesses from not being aware of
the dreadful consequence that may ensue.—
Now, who that understands the subject will pre
tend to deny that the power of Procreation is
lost sooner by those falling into improper habit
than by the prudent. Besides being deprived
of the pleasure of healthy offspring, the most se
rious and destructive symptoms to mind and bo
dv arise. The system becomes deranged , the
physical and mental powers weakened, nervous
debility, dyspepsia, palpitation of the heart, in
digestion. a wasting of the frame, cough symp

Certain Disease.
When the misguided and imprudent votary
of pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of this
painful disease. it to too often happens that an
ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of d iseovery,
deters him from applying to those who from ed
ucation and respectability, can alone befriend
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms
of this horrid disease make their appearance,
such as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose,
nocturnal pains in the head and limbs, dimness
of sight, deafness, nodes on the shin bones, and
arms, blotches on the head, face and extrmites.

the palate of the mouth or the bones of the nos°
fall in, and the 'Victim of this awful disease be
comes a horrid object of commiseration, till
death puts a period to his dreadllti sufferings, by
sending him to "that bourne front whence no
traveller returns," To such, therelhre, Dr.
Johnston pledges himself to preserve the most
inviolable secrecy, and from his extensive prac
tice in the first Hospitals of Europe and Ameri
ca, he can confidently recommend a safe and
speedy cure to the unfortunate victim of this hot
rid disease.
It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall vic
tims to this horrid disease owing to the unskil
fulness of ignorant pretenders who by the use of
that deudly poison Mercury, ruin the cons-i
-tution. and either send the unfortunate sufferer
to an untimely grave, or make the residua of his
life mit emble.
Take Particular Notice,

By this great and important remedy, weakness

eflitcts of which are nightly felt, even when a-

country, anti the darling of his parents should be
snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of
life by the consequence et deviating from the path
of nature and indulging in a certain secret habit
Such persons before contemplating
Marriage,
should reflect that n sound mind and l'ody are
the most necessary requisites to promote connu
bial happiness. Indeed without these, the jour
ney through life becomes a weary pilgrimage,
the prospect hourly darkens to the view; the
mind becomes shadowed with despair, and filled
with the melancholy reflection that the happiness
of another becomes blighted with our own.
