ANITIPHLOGISTIC 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
if ANY medicines offered for sale are accom•
parried by doubtful certificates (their chief
value) and claim to he 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 imposittons, lie has resolved
that it shall go forth to the world like the pure
gold dollar, wit' no otherpassport 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; subdues 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 convictim that the Antiphlo
giatic Salt, which he now has the happiness to
present to the Americanpublic, was a
PERFECT SUBSTITUTE
for Bloodletting, Leeches and Blisters, his
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.
eration, like that of the virus in vaccination,
could not be explained upon any known princi
ple. How, in what way, it so effectually sub
dues inflammatory diseases and no others, was
at first wholly inexplicable; but on further ex
periment it was 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
u grudeal decline of inflammation as indicated
by the pulse which soon resumes its natural
state, 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 ()sill dipi.edi
n a solution of it to aflect.the
entire system—but must be instantly used to
prevent decomposition, and secure its full vir
tue. Three quills in acute, and two in chronic
disease every 24 hours, till the heat and fever
have subsided and a perfect cure is elk.cted.—
When it takes the place of leeches, stimulating
ointments and blisters in local inflammation,
as Brain Fever, Croup, Toothache. Pleurisy,
Sc., its mode of administration is two-fold.
(See 'Erections for dissolving, Sc.)
*"The peculiar excellence of this Salt is,
that without the useless loss of blood and
strength, it effectually cures inflammatory dis
eases (no others) by producing an equilibrium
of all the fluids of the body and a consequent,
uninterrupted circulation. The following dif
ferent forms which the unbalanced fluids as•
some and many not here mentioned, that have
more or less fever and pain, are ns perfectly
subdued by the Antiphlogistic Salt, as fire is
extinguished by water.
I—Cases where the unbalanced fluids affect
the Bead and Throat—to wit: Brain Fever,
Headache, Fits, inflamed Eyes r Ears and Nose
Canker,Neuralgia, Erysipelas, Bronchitis, Se.
2—ases-wheie the unbalanced fluids affect
the Chest and Abdomen—to wit: Pleurisy,
Asthma, Inflamed Lungs and Liver, Colic,
Heartburn, Coughs. llyspepsiu, Gravel, Gonor
rhea, Venereal, Sto.
• _
Gout, Scrofula, Chicken and Small Pox, Salt
Rheum, and all Itching and other Cutaneous
Eruptions.
This Salt greatly alleviates the iinflammatory
pains peculiar to married ladies (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 this) infirm..
tory disease, attended with heat or febrile symp
toms.
Persons whc have a tendency of blood to the
head and heart, and who lend inactive lives, or
breathe the impurd air of manufactories and
the poisonous'fumes of metals and minerals, or
live in unhealthy climates are exposed to a pe
culiar riiation cf the fluids of the body, which
one dose, without interfering with diet or bust.
ness, once in 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
States or foreign countries. Its prime cost to
the discoverer is $1,50 per drachm—price $2
per drachm—and is put up up in drachm „pack.
ages for acute disease (with directions, &e.) at
$1 ; three drachms do., for chronic cases, $5;
and 5 drachms do. for families, sB—a net profit
of fifth cents on each package.
NVhile many nostrum makers victimize the
good-natured and pill-ridden public by ordering
from six to a dozen box or bottles to cure any
malady, no matter what, the undersigned is
happy in being able to state that the severest
forme of recent inflammatory disease are over
come by one acute package, and the most obsti
nate and long standing cases by one Chronic
package. Although thirty days have not elap
sed since this new medicinal agent became
partially known to the citizens of Boston and
few neighboring towns, yet such have been the
results of its trial that, during the past week
nearly 400 packages were sold in this city, anti
orders received by mail and express for 163
Family, 347 Chronic, and 385 Acute packages.
In one instance six persons clubbed together
and wrote for six packages of the "Little Gi
ant, as they called it,) to be forwarded to one
address, thereby saving expense to themselves
and the proprietor.
SW - Letters front chubs or individuals with
money (if over $10) should be registered at the
post office where mailed, as it costs but five
cents, and will insure their safe arrival.
* * *The discoverer now humbly subunits his
Perfect Substitute for the lancet, leeches and
blisters, to the tribunal of an intelligent public,
reiterating that it does just what it claims to
do—no more, no less: subdues inflammatory
disease (no others) whatever he its form or lo•

more fatal to their victims than the song of the
Syrens to the mariner Ulysses, blighting their
most brilliant hopes of anticipations, rendering

Young Men,

Married persons, or young men contempla

This disease is the penalty must frequently
paid by those who have become the victim of
improper indulgencies. Young persons fire 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 thoseSalling 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

Dr. Johnston,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons,

Colleges of the United States, and the greater
part of whose life has been spent in the first Hos
pitals of London, Paris Philadelphia, and nice.
where, has effected some of the most astonish
ing cures that were over known, many troubled
with ringing in the head and ears when asleep,
groat nervousness, being alarmed at sudden
sounds, and bashfulness, with frequent blushing
attended sometimes with derangement of mind,
were cured immediately.
Certain Disease,
When the misguided and imprudetit 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 discovery;
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
progressing with frightful rapidity, till at last
the palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose
fall in, end the victim or this useful disease be
comes a horrid object of commiseration, till
death puts a period to his dreadful sufferings, by
sending him to "that Winne from whence no
traveller returns," To such, therefore, Dr.
Johnston pledges himself to {.reserve the most
inviolable secrecy, and from his extensive prac
tice in the first Hospitals of Europe and Anhui
ea, lie 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 deadly poison Mercury, ruin the cons.i
tutioN and either send the unfortunate suilcrer
to an untimely grave, or make the residue of his
life mit erable.
Wake Particular Notice,

themselves by improper indulgencies.

effects produced by early habits of youth, viz
Weakness of the Beck and Limbs, Pains in the

fudge what is the cause of their declining health.
Losing their vigor, boconting weak, pale and
emaciated, have singular appearance about the

of the organs is speedily cured and full vigor re

effects of which are nightly felt, even When a

snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of
life by the consequence of deviating front the path
of nature and indulging in a certain secret habit
Such persons before contemplating"
Marriage,
should reflect that a sound mind and , ody are
the most necessary requisites to promote connu

mind becomes shadowed with despair, and tilled
with the melancholy reflection that the happiness
of another becomes blighted with our own.
