In the green fields of Palestine,
By its fountains and its rills,
And by the sacred Jordan's stream,
And o'er the vine-olad hills,
Once lived and roved the•fairest child,
That ever blessed the earth ; •
The happiest, the holiest,
Thai e'er had human birth.
How beautiful his childhood was!
Harmless and undefiled ;
- 0; dear to his young mother's heart,
Was this pure, sinless' child.
Kindly in all his deeds and words,
And gentle as, the dove :
Obedient, affectionate,
His very soul was lOve.

Children'of human birth,
That once: the Saviour wits a child,
And lived upon the earth?

Man is .a pilgrim • here. He has no abid
ing .place.; but acts -for a little season on
the .world's busy theatre, and then +passes
away.. •His l days are as a shadow
,*that de-.
elineth. They are as a sleep; they are like
grass which growetll,lw ;, in thn Au?Fning
it flourisheth and groweth Up; in the event
lug it is out down and Withereth. It seems
to be the one great utterance of universal
nature, there is a time to die. What yes
terday was bright and beautiful, has no pow
er to charm to-day.
The deceased could not put off disease,
nor the' death-chill. He, too, must realize,
that it is appointed unto all men once to die.
Having completed his course of preparation
for the Gospel ministry, he spent the earlier
part of life in the South, where his labors
were abundantly blessed. Returning to
Pennsylvania a few years since, he was set
tled as pastor over the church of Fannetts
burg. Here he labored for'about two years.
The pastoral relation having been dissolved,
and receiving a united call from the church
es of Landisburg, Center and Upper, he
immediately entered on his new field of la
bor. Within the past year, two of these
churches were, favored with the special man
ifestations of God's.presenee; 'his Spirit was
poured out, his own people quickend, and
many, secure in , were heard anx
iously inquiring, what must we do to be
saved? •
During these seasons the devoted pastor
labored above measure. His restless spirit,
longing to be free, was wearing out the
clay tabernacle gradually, but surely. In
the evening of life he was like an angel , visit
ant, going from house to house, warning
everyman, night and day, with team, anx
ious to have his great work accomplished,
and to be ready for the coming of his Mas
ter. He was called suddenly. He died at
his residence in Landisburg, Pennsylvania,
on the 7th of May, in the fifty-first year of
his age. He died as he Jived, a witness for
Jesus. His warm heart, andYearnest man
ner won the, esteem of all who knew him.
Asa minister; he was gifted with more than
ordinary purPit powers. The style of his
discourses was figurative. None desirous of
instruction `could hear him without profit.
He lichored Gad; he feared not ,man; he
spoke as a dying man to. dying men. At
times he seemed as one who had looked be
yond the veil--:-Penetrated the . "' eternal future.
While his memory will be dear to his be
loved people, many of his brethren in the
ministry mourn his departure. Over his
grave they, too, would .mingle their tears
and their prayers. They, too, feel, that in
him they have lost a friend and brother.
To be called away in the midst of the in
gathering of a great harvest, is an event
mysterious to its; but God's time is always
the best. He only foreseei the future. He only
is capable of harmonizing the dark and mys

his own glory and the good of his chosen.
The Lord gave such a minister, and the

For the Preebyterlan Banner and :Advocate
Creek Presbyterk—Narrative of the State
of Religion.
KOWETAII, °BEEN. NATION,
March 23d, 1857.
The Comrhittee, of the Creeh Presbytery,
now in Session at this place, appointed to
give an account of the State of . Religion
within the bounds 'of this Presbytery, report
as follows
First, During the
. past year,
.the Gospel
has been more extensively ipreached tham
formerly, there being four regular places of
preaching in the vicinity of the Tallahassee
church, two in that oniowetah, and three
in the region of the Seminole church ; be
sides many other places which have been
occasionally visited, and the Gospel preach
ed. In many places the attendance on
Divine worship has been large, and in some
quite solemn. Some who sat in heathenish
darkness, have heard the Gospel. Some
who were opposed to Christianity, have had
their prejedices removed, and are now either
seeking, or have already found peace in be
lieving on Jesus. In the vicinity of the
Seminole church, a precious revival is at
this time going, on.,
Second, Sabbath Schools are kept up at
the different mission stations, and many
children are instructed in: Divine truth ;
much useful instruction is also. imparted at
the Boarding• Schools within our bounds.
Also, many adults 'are learning to read in
their own language.
Third, Temperance prevails; but little
if any, 'drunkenness is seen among us. The
laws of the three Nations within our bounds,
viz., the Creeks, Seminoles, and Cherokees,
prohibit whiskey, and all other intoxicating
liquors, being brought into their respective
territories, and their Light .Horse officers;
enforce the law, by spilling all they can find,'
and exacting heavy fines per .gallon for all
thus found and spilt. ._
_Fourth. Still, some formidable diffieulties
stand-in our way in preaching the Gospel
ISt; Want of interpreters. 2d, Heathenish
customs. 3d; and 'worst of all, ignorant
and.opposing preachers. This last has led
to a public discussion within the last year,
On the mode and subjects of Baptism. In
which discussion, Bro. Loughridge, of this
Presbytery, gained a complete victory over.
Mr. Buckner, the leading white Baptist
preacher in this region,.and that, too, after
letting him have his own way of debating,
in English, without interpreters; although
he 'well-knew that norone•tenth part of - the
people could understand it.
It is hoped that the discussion has done
good; by convincing some that we are right,
who formerly thought that nothing could,be
said on - theffide of sprinkling ; by removing
doubts from `their minds, and confirming
our own members in'the faith, and by seaion
ably precipitating our boastful opponents
from that eminence of arrogance, to which
their extreme, ignorance and grasping proie
lytisur had elevated' them.

Three ,years after •the death of Sarah,
Land in'the one hundred and fortieth year of
the life of Abraham, arrangements are made
for a journey to4fesopotainia, to seek a
suitable, companion for Isaac, the acknowl
edged heir of his father's wealth, and or.
the covenant blessings promised from God.
The eldest servant, the steward of the
house, is called by Abraham, and put un
der oath. He readily expresses his sense
of duty and fidelity, by putting his hand
under the thigh of Abraham, by making
the needful inquiries as to the principles of
selection, and by immediate efforts to ac
complish the desire of his master Though
nearlY iiitY 'Years hive been bunibered since
Eliezer of Damascus is favorably noticed
as a servant in high favor, (Gen. xv : 2 ;)
yet, as servants then, as now, had lives equal
to those whom they served, (Gen. xxxv :
8, 18,) we s can hardly think of any other
than the aged and pious Damascene, as the
one intrusted with this important mission.
The "principles named by Abraham, ex
clude the Canaanites, and point out his na
tive country and his kindred. No doubt
the descendants of Nahor, from whom Abra
ham hai recently heard, are named, and
from among them a wife for Isaac must
be selected. Perhaps Rebekah is spoken of
as the one to be brought, (v : 5,) the
choice being made from the report of her
beauty and her excellence. Isaac sponsent,
as he was now forty years of age, may have
been heartily given for the journey to Meso
potamia. We cannot, tell whether or not
there may have been any mixture of in
firmity shown in the arrangements of Abra
ham, but it is evident that the feelings of
an aged man, for a son on whom Centres his
warm affections, are made prominent. His
son must not take the journey. The wife
must be from the home of his youth, and
from among the daughters of the friends
and associate of early years. The feelings,
however, may have been guided by wisdom
and,by.-Pieq.,, A w4:9, : fro:that far off land
would entangle his son in no civil or social
jealousies with the petty kings of Canaan.
The religion of his brother's,house, though
not such as God approved, may have been
viewed as nearer the truth than that of any oth
er family which could be named. The damsel
who would intelligently accept , the offer of
a residence in Sarah's tent, as the wife: of
the promised son of Abraham, would, from
that land, become more fully identified with
her husband's family, than if her' father's
house was - near. Also, A.braham might
hope that some of her friends would follow
her, and profit by the blessings God had
promised to his house. '
Eliezer, with ten camels laden with pro
visions for the journey, and with gifts for
theintended - bride, arrives at the - > city of
Nahor. This, to us, seems to have been in
Ur, where Terah left his second son (Gen.
xi : 28,) when he came' toward Canaan, and
built Haran, (Gen. xi : 21,) which was now
known by this name, and was occupied by
Laban ninety-five years after this, (Gen.
xxix : 4.) The pious servant of Abraham,
partly that he may see God's faitlifulnesa
to his master, and partly that he may have
a key with which to open the heart of the
selected damsel, now resolves, in the use
of appropriate means, to appeal to God for
a striking sign of approval of the chosen
companion for Isaac. But, though an appeal
is made to a prayer-hearing God, and:a sat
isfactory sign of an answer is specified, - yet
there is no neglect of the use of the best
means within reach. He knew that the
daughters of pastoral princes came to the
wells to draw water, as well as the maidens.
He might perhaps know them by their dress
or ; appearance. His prayer was, let the
damsel to whom I shall speak, be the one.
Still farther, it was - the damsel who would
show a heart full of kindness to a wealthy
traveler. Yet more, his% inquiry after the
name of the damsel, who showed the kind
ness he wished to see in the future wife of
Isaac, his worship of God when he hears
her name, and his course to gain the con
sent of the parents and brother, and of Re
bekah herself , show that he did not blindly
,
trust to an omen, as the heathen often *do,
but
,to the leadings of Providence, in
prospering a chain of means , consisting of
many links.
W. B.C.
The camels being unloaded, and taken by
Laban and , his servants to a place for
provender, Rebekah having retired to her
mother's tent or chamber with her rich
presents of rings and bracelets, and the feet
of the weary travelers being now washed,
Eliezer, before he will sit down to the pro
vided supper, calls a family counsel. .Laban
stands most prominent among the assembled
group. Bethuel is present, but the in
firmity of years, as he may have been as
old as Abraham, or custom, has led him to
trust himself, as a child, and all he has, to the
counsel and direction.of his favorite son. He
does no more than express his feelings of
piety in the belief that the band of God is in
this whole affair. Also, the more youthful
mother, who is not named, comes to the
family meeting. There may have been
others, but these are the ones who stand
most prominent among those to whom the
pious traveler tells of his master's wealth,
and of his master's wife; of the son of her
old age, made heir of all his father's estate,
and of the object of his journey; and how
the Lord seemed thus far to have prospered
his mission. He then asks for a definite
answer to the proposal that Rebekah shall
accompany him to Beersheba to be the wife
of Sarah's only son.
The father and the brother at once give
their consent, and the pious Bliezer bows
himself to the earth, and worships the Loyd.
Though the mother and the daughter, true'
to woman's natural affection for home and
frieids; and true to theme:ode:4 of
Wei and: well I cultivated disposition, do. , not
• .
express their assent; yet, as they accept' of
the jewels, and raiment, and 'other precipus
things, from a distant and worthy admirer
of the family, and from a proposed husband
for the lovely and beautiful Rebekah, the
servant of Abraham can joyfully eat and
drink, and quietly and calmly rest for the
night, knowing that the whole transaction is
as fairly closed as if the words of accept
ance had dropped from the lips of the in
tended wife of Isaac. The result in the
morning was as he had hoped. A mother's
and brother's affection prompts to the effort
for detention for ten days or more ; but his
desire to depart is no greater than that
which now lies nestling in the heart of
Rebekah. When called to decide whether
she would go at once, or detain a few days,
she yields to the importunity of Eliezer, to
set, out immediately for the home of his
pious and generous-hearted Master.
Thus, without the customary feast at : the
bride's house, as when, the bridegroom
self, and his companions 'are,Preseng but,'
with a nurse, and. the maidens which
tom, required as the dower of the daughter
of a king, or of a wealthy pasteranprince,'
Rebekah receives the - parting blessing of
the loved ones:of her father's house, bids a
final farewell to her native land, and hastens
to her - new home 'upon the far off. borders
of Canaan. ".
Meanwhile, Isaac has been waiting' for
the return of the trusty leader and his com
pany, sent by" his father to the city of
Nahor. He is in the field at eventide, in
meditation, when he sees, in the- distanee,
his father's camels and servants, and' with
them a company of maidens. Soon, ,one
alights off a camel, and, covered with a veil,
approaches him on foot. It is the fair dam
sel, come from a distant land as his be
trothed, who thus him modest defer
ence as her future husband. Having heard
from .Eliezer a brief rehearsal of the won
derful incidents of the journey, Isaac con
ducts his lovely bride to his mother's tent;
and, perhaps, in the presence of joyful
friends, gives the affectionate kiss of ac
ceptance, (Cant. i : 2,) the only marriage cer
emony required in this primitive age.
The youthful and the beautiful Rebekah
seems at once to have assumed the position,
and the responsibilities of the .deceased
Sarah. For, whether Keturah was a con.
cubine or wife of Abraham after this or not,
she was not allowed to dwell in Sarah's tent.
Isaac is now recognized as the heir ; and as
his wife, Rebekah has the deference of all
the thousands of servants or subject&
Never has she reason to regret the adieu she
gave her native country and early friends.
Long is she permitted to remain the hon.
oreand only wife of a man greatly blessed
of God. 'Almost a century hence, we find
her still alone in the affections of her hus
land. Of this she might'be proud, in, an
age when great, and even good men, led by
tyrant and sinful custom, broke so univer
sally Jehovah's• law of marriage, given to
the fathers of the race. Like Eve, and like
the wives of the four patriarchs of the
Deluge, Rebekah was an only wife. This
fact, recorded of her as the wife of : the son
promised of God to Abraham, as the consti
tuted father of the visible Church, the wife;
of the son made an eminent type of Christ,
(Gal. iii 16; Rom. ix : 5-7,) and thus,
in a sense, the first of the sons of the
Church, as separated from the world, is an
added testimony, powerfully confirming, it to
be the will of God, that marriage should
still have the stamp of Eden uponit.„,

liromen vs. SewbigMacthes.
We have been very much interested,
says an exchange paper, in =the question of
employments for women, and proper te
muneration for them. In this respect, the
question of the effect of sewing machines
upon their prospects has become important.
We have nowhere seen so full an account of
the matter as in the following article from
the Journal of Commerce, and we ask for
it an attentive perusal ;
"Women are not yet wholly superseded,
being extremely useful, in their appropriate
place, in fact, absolutely indispensable ; yet
the improvement attempted in the sewing
machine has exerted an important influence
upon the social state. Besides 'this, the
machine, though of but five years' existence,
has effected great mechanical results.
" The sewing machine is being intro
duced*into general uje, with a rapidity of
which few have any conception. It has
already been introduced to such an extent,
that some calculation may be made of its
effect, as a social element. It was predicted
that its use would bear, with peculiar hard
ship, upon the sewing girl, whose oppressed
condition has long excited the sympathies of
the philanthropic ; but it is evident that this
has not been the result, and the strong preju
dice, which for several years resisted the in
troduction of the sewing• machine, has been
gradually overcome. There are now three
firms shich manufacture, on an average, two
thousiltd machines in a year, and eight or
ten, in all, that are well'established. Many
other parties are experinienting, with, various
success.
" Sewing machines are very extensively
used by manufacturers. Douglas & Sher-
Wood, manufacturers of ladies' skirts, in
Broadway, have not less than one hundred ,
and fifty machines, costing $1 . 5,000,-which,
is believed to bki thC largOst 'number any
where employed by a single , firm.. Each
one is calculated to do the work of 'ten Ordi
nary sewers. The uses to which they are
applied' are exceedingly curious; and per
sons of an inquisitive disposition, who are
not satisfied to judge simply by externarap
pearances, may derive, much satisfaction
from the, opportunity here afforded for
minute investigation arid scientific research.
Threelundred hands are employed, and the
execution done may be inferred from;the
following statistics There are cut up
weekly, two hundred and seventy-five pieces
of muslin, or one hundred and forty-three
thousand per year; do. two thousand : d A pounds
of jute cord, or one hundred and four thou
sand per year; six hundred dozen spools of
cotton per week, or thirty-one thousand two
hundred per year. For the single item of
round whalebone, (boiled in oil, and per
fectly flexible,) the enormous , sum of $6,000
is paid every week. Besides, there are
twenty-five looms'in the city Constantly em
ployed in the manufacture of hair cloth, for
the inflation of ladies' garments, making
three thousand yards per week, and one
hundred looms engaged on other fabrics.
With these facilitits, the force employed
turns out three thousand skirts per day, ex
clusive of woven goods 1. Piled up in the
lofts of the factory, they form a barricade
almost as formidable for dimensions as Gen
eral Jackson's cotton bales. It is to be
hoped that this department of enterprise
may meet vith such ericouragement, that
the cumbrous • materials forinerly in use, with
such destructive physical effects,. (accordirig
to medical testimony,) may become obsolete..
The new skirt,= for which 'the sewing machine
is doing. such wonders, weighs but four
ounces and a half.
"Another subject worthy of notice is the
great improvement which has taken place
in the quality of sewing silk, twist thread,
&c.,. made necessary by the rapid and accu
rate movement of the sewing machine. We
now produce thread in• this country which
far exceeds any of foreign importation, in
strength and evenness of texture. If the
foreign and domestic are looped together
and jerked asunder, the former, even of
the best description, has been found to vield
in the greatest number of instances: -Sev
eral thread factories have recently been
started, or are contemplated, to meet the in
creased demands.
• u There is a large silk factory in Florence,
Mass., the *real sales of which are now
estimated at $1,000,000, and another at
Newark, N. J., is doing a large business.
" The celerity of the sewing machine in
its various movements is almost incredible.
IN''Om'an's powers, whatever their cultiva
tioni arexinable to compete, either in rapid
ity, precision, or finish. From one thousand
to two thousand stitches per, minute, ac
- cording to the description of work, is not
unusual. On shirt-bosoms the number
• per
minute, is about one thousand five hundred;
in cording and binding umbrellas, two
thousand. Fall- one half of the machines
now made; are sold *to ihe laborious class of
people known
,as needle women, sewing
girls, and employees in manufacturing con
cerns; though' very many are made for
family sewing, several families often uniting
in the purchase of machine, and passing
it around as Deeded. As ,some ~instruction
is desirable, the& are Placa on BrOidway
where ladies gather each day to receive, les
sons ; and among them are often seen those
of affluence and the highest respectability.
Sometiiiies a womanbuys a machine, for
gaiter Work, for instance; hires female fit
ters in sufficient number to keep her con
stantly employed, and pays them four or
five dollars per week, often leaving a hand
some profit. A: woman has been known to
make as high as sixty dollars per . week with
two fitters. .
" Sewing machineg are getting to be ex
tensively employed in making mantillas, hat
and nap making, Svc. Machinery has
already done much to emancipate men from
exhausting toil, has developed the indus
trious arts, and 'quickened the 'wheels of
commerce, so that, instead of depriving the
laborer of his. means of support, he is only
enabled to apply his power to the greatest
advantage. The sewing machine promises
permanent relief to the wearisome bondage
of the needle women."

The following is sent to us, confirmatory
of the distinct physical character of the hu
man blood, as different from otherblood:
The medical testimony introduced in the
trial of George Knight, of .Portland, Me, for
the murder of his wife, has developed some
highly interesting facts, going to show that
Science can readily distinguish between
human and animal blood. The evidence of
several physicians was taken upon the question
whether the blood found upon a certain
knife came from a sheep or a human being,
and it was decided that it was human blood.
Dr. A. A. Hayes was examined as an ex
pert in the matter, and he testified that the
blood,• 4 was- human. The Portland Adver
tiser gives the following synopsis ef the pe
culiar facts developed in relation to the sub
ject
G. W. S.
"The blood of man, it appears, does not
differ much from the blood of other animals
in its chemical properties and constituents:
But when subjected to the microscope, it at
once reveals important physical differences.
To understand this, it should be premised
that blood is not, as it appears when fresh
drawn, wholly;fluid, but consists of two or
three distinct bodies, of which one class is
know); as globules. Instead of being round,
as one would suppose, these bodies in the
higher animals have the form of discs, circu
lar, thick at the edge and thin in the mid
dle, like two watch crystals placed back to
back. The shape'of the globules ig; retained
after the blood has coagulated, and their
size is capable of measurement by Microscop
ic apparatus.
"It is the size of these masses which is
said to afford the test between human and
other animal blood—they being in the blood
of some animals larger, and in others smaller,
than in the blood of man. Dr. Hubbard
stated that the elephant ranks just above
man, and the monkey just below, as regards
this point of size. In the same species of
animals the globules vary in dimensions with
in a small range of some two or three per
cent; and the same variation is observable
in a person in health and sickness.
"But in comparing human blood with
sheep's blood—which was particularly with
in the scope of Dr. Hayes' testimony—it
would seem that the difference of size is
such as to allow no ground for confusion, it
having been recorded in the tables of sev
eral microscopic observer& To show the ex
treme nicety of these observations, we quote
from Dr. Hayes : "If you t divide an inch
into ten ;thousand parts, the length of one of
these measurements will be covered by three
,thousand two hundred or three thousand
four hun dre d of the blood discs of human blood.
Using the same measures the average number
'of 5300 of the discs of sheep blood will be re
quired to.fill the same length of the scale.
This measurement made in different coun
tries, " by different observers, corresponds
closely!'

Amy, Or How to Take Medicine.
Little Amy was sick. She tried all day
not to be sick, because she did not like to
take medicine. But by four o'clock, she
'laid her head in her Mother's lap, and said,
"I sick, mother." Her mother bathed her
head, warmed her feet, and put on her little
new night-gown. Then she placed her in
Sarah's arms, while she went down stairs.
" Has she gone to get some medicine, do
you think, Sarah ?" asked Amy.
"0 yes," said Sarah, "nice, good doctor's
stuff, not bad at all to take, Amy."
Amy, laid , her bead on Sarah's shoulder,
wishing what §arah said was true. Present
. ly her mothei came back, with a wine-glass
in her hand.
" Is it bitter, very ?" asked the little girl.
" No," cried Sarah; " it, is sweet—it is
g00d. 17
"Mother, is it bitter, and bad to take ?"
asked Amy.
"Yes my child, it is bitter.; but not bad
to take if you make up your mind to take it,
like a good child."
Amy had, rather, ,know the truth .than be
deceived: All children do.
Sarah, it is wicked to call bitter sweet,"
said she:
Her mother took her in her arm, and held

the glass. She did not coax or threaten, or
promise her pretty things; she wanted her
little child to be willing to take it for the
sake of getting well.
" Wait a minute," said Amy; and dup
ing her little hands together, she shut her
eyes, and said, "0 my Saviour, will you
help a poor little child take her medicine,
and be well? Will you please give Amy a
mind to do it ? Amen',
Amy opened her soft blue eyes, and
stretching out her hand, took the glass and
swallowed the medicine; Sarah gave her
water to rinse her mouth, when she sweetly
smiled saying, "How much little girls can
do if they try; and, mother, hasn't the Lord
Jesus promised to help them ?" The moth
er kissed her darling.
A child's Example. -
"O! dear grandmother," said a little
boy as he kissed his new-born sister that lay
in her arms, I must never be naughty any
more, now we've got this baby. For you
know, if I am naughty, she'll learn to be
naughty of me, and that will be bad for
mother."
The good grandmother, perceiving the
force of the argument, strove to deepen it in
the child's mind. He gazed earnestly at
the face of the babe, and wonderingly felt
its tiny hands and feet, till its beauty and
helpleamess seemed to call forth an over
flowing tenderness. When his mother ap
proached, he ran to meet her, and, clasping
his arms around her knees, exclaimed, pas
sionately,
Mother, Nether, give me that baby .for
my own ?"
Not immediately comprehending his state
of feeling, she made some inquiries. But
all the answer she Could obtain was the repe
tition,
"`O, mdther I say it shall be my baby I
Will yon give it to me for my own baby,
always ?"
Moved by his tears, she answered in the
affirmative.
Then a great happiness and a singular
sense of responsibility entered into him. To
watch over the child seemed his business
and pleasure. When he saw his mother -so
patient in nursing it, so attentive to its little
ailments, he never failed to thank her for
taking care of his baby. When any sudden
wilfulness of childhood came over him, he
would check it by saying,
" Baby sees me. Baby hears. It will
not do.'
So, between hls desire of being an edu
cator, and his heightened, gratitude to his
mother for her care over Ms ch,ild, a wonder
ful change came over the boy, who had for
merly been quick-tempered and selfish; as
if the strong brotherly love, coalescing with
the grace of God, had given him a new heaxt,
and power to lead a new life.

ASSOCIATE 07
DR. CALVIN N. PITCH,
will remain at the ST. CLATE. HOTEL, Pittsburgh, Pa., till
SATUItDAY.DVENING, JULY 18th, where he may be con
sulted by those: wishing to avail themselves of Dr. 0. M.
Fitch'e system of treatment.
The combindttion of remedial measures adopted by Dr.
Fitch and Dr. Sykes hem been so amply tested, and so abund
antly proved to be in practice all that it claims to be in
theory, that its originators do not hesitate to assert. that by
their system, relief may be obtained in all Cation not abao
lately beyond the, reach of remedies.
By this plan of treatment, the advantage of Medicinal
and Sthenotrophic Inhalations is added to that of appropri
ate internal remedies, to renovate and sustain the strength `
of the general system, and these with such mechanical
means as the case may indicate, joined to proper attention
to exercise, diet, bathing, friction, &0., Etc., will not only
afford more or leas relief in almost all eases, but will effect
permanent cures in many cases, in which only partial and
temporary relief could be obtained from any one of the
above measurea singly. But although many otherwieefatal
cases of consumption may be thus relieved, there are still
many which have passed beyond hope; and thosewho are
in any way inclined to a disease so insidious and so feariti
ly fatal aa consumption cannot be too care f ul ' to give their
cases timely atkntiOn. The delay even of a few weeks may, •
in many cases, turn the scale against the patient.
Where it is.possible, we always prefer to make a personal
examination, and thus ascertain the precise condition of the
Lungs as we wish to undertake no case where we have not
a chance of doing good ; and we wish no one to consult TM
who is not ready to bear the truth.
Those unable to visit us will, in writing, be careful to
state their cases fully, answering, at length, our published
list of questions, which will be sent to any requesting it;
and the necessary remedies, as well -for diseases of - the
Lungs and Stomach, as for Female Diseases, maybe sent by
Express to almost any part of the United States.
Consultation Free. Office hours, 10 to 4 o'clock daily.
