WALTER S. WELLS, M. D.,
To BE COMPLETKD IN FiVE PaRTS AT SI EACH:
(PARTS ONE AND TWO NOW READY.)
Bound in Two Volumes, in Sheep, SO 50.
From the I'reface.
“The design of the author, in presenting to the Pro
fession an Epitome of “Braithwaite’s Retrospect of
Practical Medicine and Surgery,” is to enable the Prac
titioner^ refer af onee to the modern treatment of all
varieties of disease—to refresh his memory in cases of
emergency—and to speedily acquaint himself with such
specific applications as would otherwise involve con
siderable research to acquire from the original volumes. '
“Reference to the part and page of the original vol
ume of which the article is an abstract is appended for
the convenience of those who may wish to refer in
detail.”
Extracts from Testiinoniah-
From Prof. Willakd Pakkkr, College of Physicians anl
Surgeons, N. Y.
“W’. S. Wells, .M. D., has submitted to my inspec
tion his Epitome of Braithwaite’s Retrospect. I am
very, very much pleased with the result of his labors.
He has conferred a great favor upon the Profession.
Braithwaite’s Retrospect has become voluminous, and
of itself makes quite a library. Dr. Wells’ Book not
only furnishes us with a summary of the whole, but
enables us to refer, without loss of time, to any special
subject in the forty volumes.”
From JdUN W. Francis, M. D., LL D., Xew York.
“Few Journals devoted to Medical Science have been
so eminently distinguished, for a series of years, as
Braithwaite's Retrospect of Pratical Medicine and Sur
gery. It may well be deemed ^uite librarj' of the
great moilern improvements in the noble art of healing.
I cannot hesitate to say that your undertaking will be
an acceptable service to all readers, and widely diffuse
the most wholesome knowledge for the beuefit of Prac
titioners in general, and the cultivators of profitable
and saving wisdom. Your labor deserves the pation-
age of the Profession.”
From Prof. Valentine Mott, I'uirersity Mtdica/ Col
lege, Neir York.
“You have rendered an essential service to the Prtj-
fession by your Epitome of the extensive Retrospect of
Braithwaite. Tlie alphabetical arrangement of the sub
jects, makes it more easil3' availalle to Practitioners of
the City and Countrj* who have but little leisure for
reading. 1 welcome it as a valuable present to the
Physician and .Surgeon.'’
From Prof. R. Ookk.n DoREMfs. Xiw York Mulical
College.
“It atl'ords me great pleasure to offer my cordial com
mendation of your laborious undertaking, to present to
the Profession an Epitome of Braithwaite's Retrospect.
“You may feel assured that your Condensation and
Tabulatitn of this voluminous work will be appreciated."
From ISurgfoit B. F. Bache, I’nitfd Stales -Vyc)/, uuJ
I>ir«ctr,r of the Xanil I.>thoratvrg.
“I have read with great interest the volume of your
Epitome of Braitliwaite's Retrospect.
“The value of the Retrospect lo the Profession ha«
long been settled, and you have, b^’ condensing it into
a portable form and arranging its subjects alphabeti
cally so as to facilitate finding all the information it
contains on any point, largely augmented its worth.'’

Engagement between the Minnesota and Miss
issippi, Almost.-A. thrillingincident of a kind rarely
experienced in these times of national peace, occur
red on board the United States steamship Mimssip-
^(‘during her recent cruise on the coast of Japan. On
the 7th of October, 1858, the frigate arrived oflP
the entrance of the harbor of Nagasaki. Before
leaving Hakodadi, intelligence had been received
of the difficulties between this country and Eng
land, growing out of the course of the English
cruisers in boarding American ships in the Gulf,
and so strongly convinced were the officers of
the Mississippi that war existed between the two
nations, every preparation was made to meet the
ships of the enemy, supposing any might be
lurking about the harbor of Nagasaki, awaiting
their approach.
At 9 o’clock in the forenoon, a sail was discov
ered standing out ol the harbor, in fighting trim,
under top-sails and jib—running before the wind.
The strange sail was at once conjectured to be an
English frigate standing out to give battle, and
in a moment all was commotion on board the
Mississipj)i. The crew were called to quarters,
the guns were cast loose, loaded with round shot
and shell, and trained upon the supposed enemy;
the boarders were armed with pistols and cutlass
es; the decks were covered with sand, to drink
up the blood of the dying; cots were brought up
to receive the wounded, and the surgeons were
in readiness to operate, in case their services were
required. Powder boys ran hither and thither,
and everything on board wore a warlike appear
ance.
The strange sail—a much larger ship tlian the
Mississipjii—approached rapidly. Every man
stood by his gun. The lock-strings were drawn
taut, and the men awaited in breathless silence
the approach of the stranger; determined, if she
was a belligerent, to give her one broadside at
least. The flag of the approaching vessel being
concealed behind her topsails, it could not be
made out, but as she neared the port bow of the
Mississippi, it was found to be the stars and
stripesi Every man drew a long breath. ]?ut
just then the flag was hauled down, which in
duced the fear that the stranger had played a
ruse (le guerre upon the Mississippi, in order to
take her. f^very man sprang to his gun, obedient
to the order—“Train the guns upon herl” But
the American flag was again run up, and it was
soon discovered that the vessel was the U. S.
steamship Minnesota, bound for home. From
her they learned that the expected war had all ended
in smoke. The retreat was beat, the masiazines
were closed, and after interchanging greetings,
the frigate stood on for her anchorage at Nagasaki.

Oot’r 6, 1859
Dr. Bronson having been so far reduced by consump
tion, as to be considered beyond all hope of recove*'y by
the most eminent of the medical profession, and also by
himself—a regular physician of twenty years practice
—as a last resort, conceived the idea of .\N.\LYZING
THE BLOOD, and applying the subject of physiology
to the more immediate connection, and effect of the
state of the blood upon the health and system. The
result has been the proluction of this “BLOOD FOOD,’
from the use of wliich Dr. Bronson was restored to per
fect health. Within six months after its introduction,
over two fhousaml consumptives were eflTcctually cured
by it. If you have any complaints of a consumptive
tendency. Cough, Cold, Head-ache, Palpitation of the
Heart, Loss of Appetite or Pain in the Side, lose no
time iu procuring a bottle of the “BLOOD FOOD.” If
you are suflering from Nervous Debility, or your sleep
is broken and disturbed, if your Spirits are I>epressed,
or your Organs Relaxed, j'ou will find in this an un
failing remedy, by commeacing with ten ilrops. If
your Liver is torpid or diseased in any maimer what
ever, one or two V>ottles will be sure to invigorate, and
bring it into lively and healthy action. In the most
inveterate cases of Dyspepsia, the patient can here find
the most eflicient an«l grateful relief. A benefit is al
ways experienced after taking only one bottle. In Male
or Female Complaints and Weaknesses, the sufferer,
after trying other remedies in vain, may rest assured,
that a certain cure will result from the use of two or
tl ree bottles. The ‘‘BLOOD FOOD” is effectual in all
CJ.ses of Eruptions, Salt Rheum, Scrofula and other like
comj>iaints. Pale and emaciated children and adults
are immediately benefitted by its use. It gives strength
to the body, ami color and beauty to the skin. Phy
sicians of all schools are using it with wonderful success.
For full directions, see circulars. Price §1 per bottle.

The subscriber, proprietor of these newly erected
Mills, takes pleasure in announcing to the public,
that one pair of Burrs is now in successful operation.
He is aware that public confidence as pertaining to the
Milling business in some places, is a very sickly sub
ject, which requires skillful Doctors, proper treatment
and good nursing to restore to desired health and
strength. He hopes his connection with the business,
however, may by no means in the least contribute to
the present enfeebled state in which he fcnds it. Hoping
this, he deems it not inexpedient in putting forth his
Card to the Public to inscribe upon it the following
■MOTTOES, which, like the laws of the Medes and Per
sians, are to be preserved inviolable and unchanged.
First—That only out of Corn which never comes into
his possession, will more than an honest toll be taken.
Second—That a just toll having been imposed on Corn
coming into his possession, the remainder will be made
into the best meal and hominy the quality of the corn
will justify, subject to the order of the owner.
The Flouring Mill is expected to be in operation by
the first of June next, when he hopes to see farmers
from all quarters bringing their loads of Wheat, either
to dispose of at liberal prices, or to be converted into
flour, designed not to be surpassed.
P. S. A good article of Corn for bread wanted.
