AD VER TISEMENT.

* '

THE author would notify the purchaser that heputs the price of one dollar on this book of advice,well knowing that 75 cents would be enough for thecommon price of a book of its size. He is consciousthat propriety, perspicuity and brevity will be foundmarked on every piece—and if so, the shorter thebetter.

But those who do not chuse to allow him 25 centsfor his advice, may desist from the purchase. Heconceives that these advices are calculated to assistevery citizen in the preservation of his health, andhis recovery if diseased; so that by attending tothem, he may easily receive 30, 60, or an 100 foldfor his dollar: by which he may also meet thewished for assistance set forth in simples and prepara-tions, that will be in his own power.

Besides, if a physician must be employed, theboss, or head of the family, ought to know so muchabout the work he hires his artist to do, as to beable to estimate the value of it. He claims this 25cents as a small compensation for the labor andobservations of fifty years, without having made hislabor an emolument of advantage heretofore to him-self or family.

The author is well aware that the public mindhas been long impressed with these ideas: viz." The natives of our own country are in posssession ofcures, simples, &c. that surpass what is used by ourbest practitioners." He conceives this publication willgratify such generally, whose minds remain undersuch impressions.
