Saxton & Miles, Publishers, and dealers in Books in every department of
Literature, at very reduced prices for _cash_.
S. & M. publish the following Book, which should be in every family in
the United States: GUNN'S DOMESTIC MEDICINE, or the Poor Man's Friend.
Among the many publications of more than doubtful utility, with which
our presses groan, it is pleasant to offer to the public one which,
while it can not injure the mental and moral powers, is capable of
improving our health and prolonging our days. It is now about ten years
since this work was first published, since which time it has passed
through many large editions, and the astonishing number of _one hundred
thousand_ copies has been sold in the southern and western states, and
the demand is increasing.
It has just been revised and corrected, containing 900 pages, and
executed in superior style. People may be disposed to smile when we
tell them that they can save money by purchasing this book, but we
think we can satisfy them that such is the fact, In every family more
or less is paid yearly for doctor's bills. A child is taken with a
fever, or some other complaint, and from ignorance nothing is or can
be done effectually to check it. The physician is called, and a large
bill is contracted; whereas, had GUNN'S DOMESTIC MEDICINE been on
hand, a remedy could easily have been found which would have checked
the disease in its first stage, and not only have saved the purse, but
perhaps the life.
