White Ash Leaves a Cuke for
Rattlesnake Bites.—We take the
following from the Tennessee Quid
N unc. It would be well for all to
preserve it, as well as to keep con
stantly on hand a good supply of
the'white ash leaves :—“A little
girl of this vicinity was cured of a
rattlesnake bite recently by the
use ofastrodg decoction of white
ash leaves, taken intemaliy, and
also applied to the wound. The de
coction was not used until the day
after she was bitten. Had it been
used immediately after receiving
the bite, there would probably have
been no swelling at all. There is a
species of black snake (not poison
ous) which always fights the rattle
snake when he meets him, and al
ways kills him. But in the encoun
ter he generally receives many
wounds from the fangs of his poison
ous antagonist. These he cures
by chewing white ash leaves and
applying his saliva, charged with
their pulpy juice, as a sort of lini
ment. The instinct of the reptile
suggested the remedy to man.
A Good Husband.—When you
see a young man modest and retir
ing in his manners, who cares less
about dress than his moral charac
ter, depend upon it, ladies, he will
make an excellent husband. Ifyou
get the one who is kind and atten
tive to his mother, affectionate to his
sister, industrious in his habits, and
economical in his business, rest as
sured you have found one of whom
you will never be ashamed. The
ball room is no place to find a hus
band, the fashionable assembly is no
place, it is in the retirement of home,
the place of business, where you can
study character and disposition; and
"'here the best is not put on for ef
iect or display.

TO THE
MOUNT VERNON FUND.
We propose to the medical faculty ami
manufacturers of medicine throughout the
United States to raise the sum of twenty-fivt
thousand dollars for the benefit of the Mount
\ Vernon Fund, bv a trial of skill in the cura
1 tive art. under the following stipulations, and
to which we pledge ourselves, h»'irs and as
signs, to be governed, and to fully discharge
the same:
1. We propose to test the qualities, medici
nal virtues and curative efficacies of our sys
tem of treatment of disease with our Kadway’s
Ready Relief, (Regulating Pills) and Reno
vating Resolvent, against all other treatments
or medicines employed for the cure of the sick,
either under the supervision of physicians of
the regular practice, or the medication of
Medicines manufactured as specialities, com
monly called patent medicines, in a given
number of cases, and if our Ready Relief, Re
solvent and Regulating Pills do not prove the
most efficacious and successful in the treat
oftho said disases in which they are employed,
and more speedily and effectually cure the pa
tients than the medicine and treatment of our
opponents, we will pay over to the Treasurer
of the Mount Vernon Fund the sum of twenty
five thousand dollars, on or before the 1st day
of January, 1860, on condition that those wh >
accept our challenge will pay tile same
amount, on or before the above date, if our
remedies prove victorious in this trial of skill.
We invite all physicians within the United
States, either in hospitals or private practice,
to compete with us in testing their system of
medical treatment, against the efficacies of our
three remedies—the Ready Relief, Renovating
Resolvent and Regulating Pills—ami we give
to any physician who desires, the trial to be
made iri public, the privilege of selecting any
hospital in New York, Boston, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Charleston, New Orleans, St. Lou
is, Cincinnati, or Chicago, in which said
hospitals one-half of the patients are to be
given over to our charge, ami subject only to
the treatment of such of our Three Remedies
as we may deem appropriate for the nature of
the disease of said patient; the remaining half
to be under the charge only of any three phy
sicians that may be selected for the same.
2. We invite all pill manufacturers to a
test of the curative virtues of their pills
against the medicinal efficacy of Railway's
Regulating Pills, in the treatment of all dis
eases for which they recommend their pills
as possessing superior and extraordinary vir
tue.
There are several spirited, liberal-minded
and skillful gentlemen engaged in tile manu
facture and sale of pills who have not only
realized great wealth, but have been highly
successful in curing the sick with their pills.
The most successful and popular of these pills,
however, are made after the recipe of a gen
tleman who flourished about 1U8 years since,
and as medical science has progressed rapidly
during the present century in other branches,
we see no reason why a great revolution and
improvement should not take place in the
manufacture of pills.
For ourselves, we know that we have made
the greatest improvement in the art of com
pounding pills, and that our Railway’s Regu
lating Pills are the best, most perfect, thor
ough. mild and effectual medicine in the form
ot pills known to the world; ami, as an evi
dence of their superiority, we earnestly invite
the learned, skillful and celebrated grandson
of thp noble patriarch of 17.'>3.as well as oth
er pill manufacturers, to a public test of their
medicines against Radway’s Regulating Pills,
pledging ourselves to use only half the num
ber of our Regulating Pills in any disease,
however severe, that are used by our oppo
nents.
3 We invite and challenge physicians, ami
all others, to produce a lotion, liniment, or
other preparation that will relieve or slop
pain, and protect those exposed to the insid
uous influences of malaria against its effects,
either in the form of fevers, cholera, dyseu
terry, croup and other diseases incidental to
malarious poisons, with the same speed and
efficacy as Kadway’s Ready Relief, if there
is a remedy in the known world that will ease
mankind of the excruciating tortures of pain,
either acute or inilamatoi y, or caused by ex
ternal or internal injuries or internal derange
ments, as speedily, effectually and with as
much safety to the general health of the sys
tem, as Kadway’s Ready Relief, tire public are
entitled to the information; and if so proved,
on a fair trial, we will cheerfully withdraw
our remedy and pay the forfeit.
4 We invite all physicians, laymen and
others, to produce a medicine for tlie effectual
cure of chronic, scrofulous and constitutional
diseases, against Radway’s Renovating Resol
vent. We care not how long tire disease may
have been established in the system, or through
how many generations it may have run—
whether the disease is syphillis, bronchitis,
consumption, ulcers, fevers, sores, scorbutic
eruptions, fits, or any other disease transmisi
ble from sire to son—we invite and challenge
all inhaling physicians, homoeopathists, allo
pathists, and patent medicine manufacturers,
to a trial of skill against our Renovating lie
Resolvent.
We do not deem it necessary to make an
apology in publicly giving out this challerge.
It is a well known fact that, as a society,
there is no body or class of men so illiberal
in their sympathies and opinions in medical
matters as that obinjxious cliquo that custom
calls “regular physicians.”
For these past ten years we have called in
vain upon this medical oligarchy to give us a
fair trial to test our remedies—in the hospit
als and private practice under their supervi
sion—and if our remedies were found worthy
to receive their indorsements. As the com
pletion of the Mount Vernon purchase is dear
to every American citizen’s heart, we make
this offer to raise a fund of $25,000 by a trial
of skill in the curative art. Other scienees
have generously coine forward and contribu
ted their share to this glorious enterprise, and
we see no reason why the medical fraternity
should not make the sacrifice of a little of its
false dignity, and test its right in the eyes of
the people to the position it assumes; and if,
after due trial and strict examination, it shall
be found worthy to occupy its position over
the theory we advocate, and the treatment we
practice with our Ready Relief, Renovating
Resolvent and Regulating Pills, then this
medical fraternity will Mve achieved the
great and good work of securing to the Mount
Vernon Fund the sum of $25,000.
