200 Literary Intelligence. 



To the Physicians of the United- States. 



The Subscriber, anxious to be instrumental in pro- 

 moting and diffusing the knowledge of the medicines 

 of this country, will give thirty acres of good land for 

 that purpose, on the following terms : 



Any gentleman who will write the best and most 

 simple account of all the means of giving tone or 

 strength to debilitated persons, without the aid of Peru- 

 vian bark, wine, or foreign medicines, shall have deeded 

 to him twenty acres. 



And he who will write the best and most simple ac- 

 count of the substitutes for foreign Cathartics, found in 

 this country, with the means of preserving and exhibit- 

 ing them, shall have ten acres. 



It is desired that the papers on these subjects may be 

 sent to this place (postage paid). The names of the 

 candidate may be sealed in a note, which shall only be 

 opened in the cases where the prizes are adjudged. 

 Doctors Rush and Barton, of Philadelphia, and Dr. 

 Miller, of New- York, with the subscriber, will in the 

 course of ten months, announce to whom the land 

 shall be given — taking care that plainness in the writing, 

 and truth in the statement of facts, be very necessary 

 qualities in the papers examined.
