 from a very reduced state of health, to the measure 

 of it I now enjoy ; and I know others who have de- 

 rived material benefit from it. I have, however, been 

 diflident of publishing it, not because I have any 

 doubts of its virtue in certain cases, when properly 

 used, but because I am no friend to encouraging an 

 indiscriminate use of any medicine. I would there- 

 fore say, that those who have not experimented the 

 use of the mustard seed would do well to take coun- 

 sel of a physician with respect to the nature of their 

 disease and the state of their system, before they 

 commence it. Being unacquainted with the science 

 of medicine myself, I can suggest no rules to govern 

 them respecting it; and if I could, I know that peo- 

 ple are prone to be enthusiastic in this matter, and 

 undertake to judge for themselves, very often in a 

 way which proves extremely injurious to them. This
