(j^OU have a strong constitution, large brain, and vitality enough to sustain [5gg§ it. You are organized for health, and long life; having descended from a substantial, healthy, vigorous and long-lived stock. In many respects you have the organization of your father—your intellect especially, is of the masculine form. There is not more than one person in ten thousand, of either sex, so strongly inclined to reason logically. Most persons do not reason logically; they follow their perceptions and intuitions, and when an argument begins to bring upon them and their statements a logical grip, they take the wing3 of imagination and intuition and fly over the enclosure. You are willing to stand by logical facts, and to follow out a plan or the purpose to its legitimate conclusions, and judge of its merits or demerits accordingly. You appreciate philosophy, and persons having a philosophical cast of mind. You would have admired Daniel Webster much more than Henry Clay, so far as the intellects of the two men were concerned. You relish wit, and readily perceive the ridiculous, and if you cannot carry the argument by direct logic, you use the " Reductio ad Absurdum," and show the unsoundness of the opposite proposition by disclosing its weakness. You have the power of comparison and of analysis, but more so the power of synthesis; you are good at classifying, better at discovering. You can invent better than you can appropriate the inventions of others; and you never feel satisfied to follow in other people's footsteps,—although with your large imitation you are capable of adapting yourself to the forms, usuages and customs of society. You are not inclined to adopt other people's thoughts. You have large ideality and constructiveness—which gives imagination and originality; you are never better satisfied than when pouring over some new problem, or following out some faint hint to its legitimate and logical results. You are fond of the beautiful and the new, and are inclined to make combinations of ideas, words, and thoughts; are not easily puzzled with complications, but have a faculty of unravelling them. Your Spirituality is large, which tends to elevate the mind into the i*egion of the unseen and unknown, and to give faith in the future, and the belief that the world is not half finished, nor the discoveries all made. You are inclined to look forward and upward ; not to be a conservative, con- tent with the venerable past, and inclined to keep the old edifice of affairs in repair. You owe to your excellent health much of the enjoyment which you have. You promise yourself only so much happiness, or success, as you really work out: for the rest, you trust to Providence. You love justice, and have a profound respect for people who are honest and just. You value property as a means, and would spend it freely. You have strong social feelings; are capable of loving as a friend, wife and mother; and if understood you would feel at home in the domestic and social circle. In character and disposition you are pre-eminently womanly. In your intellect and tendency to reason and plan, you are decidedly masculine. You have a good memory of facts and principles, but the strength of your intel- lect lies in the reasoning department; and your real power comes from C ausautt, Ideality, Constructiveness, Spirituality, Imitation and Mirthfulness. ])&■ The Phrenological Chart of every being depends on inheritance and culture. MRS. M. G. BROWN'S METAPHYSICAL DISCOVERY. ■*-*■ CHAPTER L ^^feSf W0NDERING WHY. •UW^ have been led to wonder f$H$§ why I call my Discovery tp^JM "Metaphysical." They ask what relation medicine sus- tains to Metaphysics. These questions are answered in this Pamphlet. Allow me here to express sincere regret, and offer deep sympathy for the people, who are in such a state of inscience as not to discern the indissoluble connection be- tween soul and body; not having ac- quired the art of constructing thought, whereby they could unite the seen with the unseen, the visible with the invisible. METAPHYSICS DEFINED. BY WEBSTER. Webster defines Metaphysics as " the science of the conceptions and relations which are necessary to thought and knowledge—science of the mind." BY PLATO. Plato defines Metaphysics a3 "the science which treated of the one Real Being and the Real Good. It embraced inquiry into the nature of the Good and the Beautiful, and expounded the Eter- nal Ideas which have been in or before the Divine Mind from all eternity, to the contemplation of which man's soul could rise by cogitation, because it had been formed in the Divine image, and in which the sensible universe participated, thereby having a stability in the midst of its mutability." ■>-4- BY ARISTOTLE. According to Aristotle, " the First Philosophy treats of entity, so far forth as it is entity, and of quiddity, or the nature of a thing, and of that which is universally inherent, so far as it is in en- tity." He argues that "if there were not some substance other than those that exist in nature, then Physics would be the first science, but if there be an eter- nal and un movable substance, the:"', there must be a prior science to treat of it, and this is to be honored as the first and highest philosophy. But the inquiry into entity is, in fact, an inquiry into causes, or what makes a thing to be what it is;" and he shows that such an investigation "conducts to four causes:—(1) The Formal; (2) The Material; (3) The Efficient; (4) The Final" BY THE WOLFIAN SCHOOL. In the Wolfian School " Metaphysics was asked to deal with three grand topics —God, the World, and the Soul—(If the Wolfian School had defined the word 'World,' showing it to embrace the Phys- ical; and had it added a fourth topic, namely, 'The Devil,' I would not be com- pelled to do so. Metaphysics—nor indeed any thing else—can no more be under- stood apart from the Devil, than the play of Hamlet without Hamlet)—and should aim to construct a Rational Theology, a Rational Physics, and a Rational Psychol- ogy." I would add a Rational Union, and Practical Working of both Soul and Body to accomplish the great work for which they were so closely united. BY THE REV. JAMES M'COSH, LL.D. Professor of Logic and Metaphysics, Belfast. In his excellent work, " The Intuitions 6 MRS. M. G. BROWN'S of the Mind," thus defines Metaphysics. " The science which investigates into the original or intuitive convictions of the mind, with the view of generalizing and expressing them, and also of determining what are the objects revealed by them." He also says:—" Like every other science which has to do with facts, it must be conducted in the Inductive Method, in which observation is the first process, and the last process, and the main pro- cess throughout; the process with which we start, and the process by which we advance all along, and at the close test all that is done; but in which, at the same time, analysis and generalization are employed as instruments, always work- ing, however, on facts observed. " It is true that Metaphysics reach truth which is independent of any observation of ours, but it is truth which we can dis- cover only by induction." BY DESCARTES. Descartes represents Philosophy as a tree, of which Metaphysics is the root, Physics the trunk, and all the other Sciences the branches that grow out of this trunk." CHAPTER H. METAPHYSICS MADE EASY, BY MRS. M. G. BROWN. METAPHYSICS is an open book and they who run may read. It is designed by God that everything upon which the natural eye rests should serve as a schoolmaster, to guide the eye of the mind from the visible to the invisible. This is Observant Teaching, and should begin with the dawn of infancy; it is the Divine plan for shaping and unfolding the mind. This mode of Teacning requires Pa- rents to be conscious of the Mine of Wealth intrusted to them and their Chil- dren respectively, by a just God, who will not seek where He has not strewed, but will at least demand what He has intrusted, with usury. This Mine of Wealth is the Talents, or mental faculties, thirty-six in number, which in a great measure lie dormant from generation to generation, few having over two or three workable, some but one, others apparently none. The Talents are to every being what tools are to a workman. A cabinet- maker might have a ship-load of black walnut, but if he had no tools to work it, the black walnut would only be lumber in his way. This is the case to a great extent with the masses. Humanity is dangerous lumber without the cultivation of the Talents, or intellectual powers. A Metaphysical education should com- mence with the infant mind ; it is simple, practical and inspiring teaching. The pioneer talents or tools—Observation, Comparison and Construction—are to the child what the Hammer, Saw and Plane are to the carpenter, and should be put into its hands as soon as it is able to discern. The consequence would be a general revolution in the Physical, Social, Mental and Moral Condition of the Race. By a combination of these Four Great Principles, they become a Mighty Force, and this mighty force will march onward to the Evangelization of the World. Only through a Metaphysical educa- tion can the happy epoch be reached when the Peoole will See " Eye to Eye." METAPHYSICS THE ONLY CHANNEL THROUGH WHICH THE CAUSE OF DIS- EASE CAN BE DETECTED, OVERPOWERED AND KEPT AT BAY. MY DISCOVERY IS WELL NAMED META- PHYSICAL^ For had I not inherited a Metaphyseal mind (a mind which makes the connec- tion between the Natural and the Super- natural), which led me to trace effects to their causes, leaving no cause underlying another until I arrived at the first and primary cause of all Moral, Mental, Physical and Social suffering, the world would never have received through me what I call a Metaphysical Discovery. Had I read every book printed on the METAPHYSICAL DISCOVERY. 7 Science of Medicine and Surgery ; had I attended every Medical Lecture delivered since the world began; had I visited everj Dissecting-Room and become per- fect Mistress of Anatomy; had I been made acquainted with every Symptom and Species of Disease ; had I had access to every Sick Chamber and Dying Couch since the beginning of time, all these varied and well-beaten paths could not have given me to understand, or behold, the Insulted Law, which sends from its Mouth flames of Disease, Agony, Tor- ture and Death—Mental, Moral, Social and Physical. IN MY SEARCH AFTER TRUTH I ha7e gone far beyond the mind of man, even to the Author of that mind—God, the Source of all truth and righteousness. This high and holy Being is our Father by creation (but only by first creation, " Ye must be born again.") The Gospel is pregnant with invita- tions for us to come and get acquainted with God, learn His requirements, &c. God wishes us to know Him, to under- stand the heights, depths and grandeur of the Divine plans and purposes. In becoming acquainted with God, you will necessarily learn about the1 Devil; "Lucifer, Son of the Morning," (meaning from the beginning) his Char- acter, Power, Resources, &c. This knowledge leads to Great Discoveries, namely, the Circumstances which made it Necessary to Create a World, to Call Forth a Trinity of Three Distinct Per- sons, causing God to divide Himself into three parts; the Objec; in view, and the Laws by which the Divine plan was accomplished. The War in Heaven and Fall of the Angels ; the creation of tie world (which was countless ages in cotrse of prepara- tion for man, though but six days were necessary to arrange for his inaugura- tion) and Introduction of our First Pa- rents -, their Creation and Marriage by Deity; the Entrance of tie Devil into the world ; his Capture of loth Man and Woman, and Usurpation of he Marriage Institution, through which Channel he maintains a Recruiting Oftce, to rein- force armies to Wage continual War against God ; the Elect and who they are, the Law by which the Devil entered and Holds the World (though redeemed); the Law which causes the Marriage In- stitution to be one of Incongruity, Car- nage, Agony and Death ; the Law which Perverts the Mind and Darkens the Un- derstanding, which Binds the body with Disease and Consigns it to the Humilia- tion and Disgrace of Death and the Grave—a Humiliation to which Christ Himself submitted, that we might be Delivered from such a Terrible Calamity : these questions, with their train of con- nections, are Cardinal Points, and the Metaphysical student can elucidate them and in due time connect the two worlds in the use of the Talents with which the soul is endowed, "because that which may be known of God is manifest, for God hath showed it. The invisible things from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead."—Rom. i. 19, 20, The mental faculties, which are an eman- ation from God, can go beyond the crea- tion of the world. All Science and constructing of Earth- ly Material into practical mechanism, no matter how useful and valuable to man, will Sink as it were into nothingness, when once compared to the Great and Glorious Results to be reached by Unit- ing Heaven and Earth. METAPHYSICS EMBRACES EVERY PARTICLE in Heaven, Earth and Hell. There is nothing in the Domain of the Highest which Metaphysics does not Reach, De- fine and Label. Metaphysicians in all ages have studied mind as djstinct from its visible garb, the body; hence need it be wondered that Metaphysics have ever been dry and un- productive of practical application 1 On the other hand, Physiologists and Phys- icists have studied the body without ref- erence to its Maker ; consequently have been ignorant of the object for which it was made, and the laws by which it works; therefore the body has been de- 8 MRS. M. G. BROWNS ranged, distressed and destroyed, down to the present day. Mind can never be understood in the abstract, nor can the body, disconnected from mind. They are united for a pur- pose, and acquaintance with God their Author, must precede a knowledge of the purpose for which they were so mysteri- ously joined. IMPORTANCE OF METAPHYSICS. How different would the condition of the people be, had the study of Meta- physics been introduced into the Schools and Colleges Centuries ago. The Mental, Moral, Social and Phys- ical condition of the race would have been so exalted as to attract the atten- tion of Angels—yea, of God Himself. When the people are thus educated, it will be so, for God declares, " His Tab- ernacle shall be among men, and He himself will dwell with them." Rev. xxi. 3 CHAPTER HI. THE CONSEQUENCES ATTENDANT ^PON the Neglect of a Metaphysical £%£> education are fearful to contem- plate ; no substitute will answer its pur- pose. The Seen and Unseen must be connected. The Non-Inculcation of these First Principles has made the world one mass of confusion, thronged with people, many of whom are not even on a level with the brute—their Talents or Mental Fac- ulties being unavailable, Latent, Inactive from generation to generation. Thus they are without Knowledge to Discrim- inate between Right and Wrong, impo- sing, and exposed to imposition on every side. IF THE PEOPLE WERE METAPHYSICAL they would be Logical, as Metaphysics is the Ground-work and Pillars of Logic, and Logic is simply Intelligent Common Sense. Metaphysics provides the mind with a basis to start on. Every struc- ture that stands the Stormy Blast must have a solid Basis. The masses who are left to grow, and not thus educated, become a p^ey to false Teachers, Sorcerers and Quacks, who themselves are Spiritually, Morally, Socially and Physically blind. "When the blind lead the blind, both fall iuto the ditch." Matthew xv. 14. TALENTS INDISPENSABLE. To acquire a knowledge of Metaphys- ics it is necessary to call into active service the powers of mind which art ca- pable of concreating, such as the talents of Observation, Meditation, Analyzafion, Comparison, Construction, Decision, &c. Observation is the Pioneer and Coad- jutor of the Talents, thirty-six in lum- ber, which are almost extinct in the masses, for want of that kind of exercise intended by God, the Sublime Author of talents. Parents who fold their talents "in napkins," may expect their offspring to be reckoned with the number who^ "will seek to enter in, and shall not be able." Luke xiii. 24. This is one of the doors through which the " sins of the parents are visited upon the children unto the third and fourth generation." Exod. xx. 5. The undying truth of the above de- claration stands so prominent before ev- ery eye, and lies so hfiavy on many suf- fering hearts, that parents may with safety conclude, that in the same channel, and to the same dtgree, they use their talents, their children will be able to use theirs. Thus Ignorance is sin, and be- longs to the categ#ry of the Works of Darkness. Through no other process ean the human mhd become acquainted with the great programme of the Visible and the Invisible; than that of Designa- ting, Naming, Numbering and Keep- ing in Constant Use, the whole alphabet of Talents, whch are in reality Tools furnished to us by Deity for the purpose of acquiring al' knowledge. TO A METAPHYSICAL MIND which has tra-ed the forces of Good and Evil far beyo»d the Dawn of Creation, through all tie varied channels of their Fierce Anta/onism, and made the study of Satan's (frigin, Subtle Devices, Strat- METAPAYSICAL DISCOVERY. 9 egy and Workings a Specialty—I say with his Plans and Purposes Prominent, it is an easy matter to trace the Intro- duction of Disease into the Human Body ; its progress and workings there, through the ignorance of all ages, as to the one and only plan of God, moisture. THE DEVIL IS THE FATHER OF IGNORANCE DISEASE AND DEATH. Read of the woman in the Gospel "who had an issue of blood twelve years and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse." Mark. v. 25, 26. Is not this the experience of all ages down to the present time—are not the generations deteriorating ? READ ALSO OF THE WOMAN " which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together and could in nowise lift up herself. And when Jesus saw her he called her to him, and said unto her, woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity ;" saying unto those around, " ought not this woman, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond ?" Luke xiii. 11, 12, 16. "HE WHO MAKES THE WORLD AS A WILDERNESS. And destroys the cities thereof, and opens not the house of his prisoners," Isai. xiv. 17. He "who has the power of death, that is the Devil, shall be destroyed," Heb ii. 14. The de- struction of the Devil means, that his power to " deceive, bind and kill the peope," shall cease. He will be detected and his sorceries shall explode ; thus will his resources be cut off, and Satan's hos- tilities to God and man cease forever. DISEASE, THE EFFECT OF AN INSULTED LAW. The Cause of Disease is not disease, but a law which begets and sustains it. It is this law which is to be dealt with. It is angry; it is raging. It makes a demand. Yea, it reasons with Human- ity. It tells you to observe the Sunken Eye, the Discolored and Blood-Streaked Ball. It speaks to you of the Dim Vi- sion, the Weak Eye. It takes you a step higher, and shows you the Dead Scalp, the place from which the salt Fountain allotted for the sustenance of the flesh— should ever flow. It points you to the Dandruff, the Bald Head, the Dry and Blanched Hair. It points you to the Stoppage of the Avenues in the Head, whereby every change in the weather gives you a fresh cold. It points you to the Decay of the Teeth and Gums for want of sustenance. It points to you by the Clogging up of the whole System with Mucus Matter, which works Death in a Thousand Ways. It points to you definitely through every one of the Thirteen Hundred Diseases which sub- ject the human family to Decay and Death. It points to you through the Loss of Memory and want of Power to Construct Thought, so necessary for every business man to insure success. It points to the Poverty of the people, who are Mentally and Physically incapable of prosecuting the daily avocations of life. It points to the Suicide, who, through failing health, inability to meet his De- mands, or Fevered Brain, (for Want of Moisture,) takes the Fatal step. Many more departments of reason, this law offers, as a plea for a supply of mois- ture, but to no purpose. Humanity is Blind, and Deaf, to the Demands of this Law, which turns about with Terrible Retribution, slaying both old and young on every side. Observe the incalculable number who Die about Fifty. My Metaphysical Dis- covery would have saved them from filling untimely graves. THE FLESH WARRETH AGAINST THE SPIRIT. God and the Devil cannot work in the same body, except as antagonists. The Apostle Paul declares that the soul and body are at war, and of course where war exists, desolation follows. This war cuts off the salt fountain, lo- cated in the head, preventing its flow through the countless avenues of the hu- man system, deprived of which the flesh softens, or turns into matter; thus the 10 MRS. M. G. BROWN'S llood is made impure or scrofulous, from which arises disease in varied forms. WniLE THIS CONFLICT CONTINUES Suitable moisture, as found in my Dis- covery must be supplied to the body through eyes, ears and scalp—or, disease and death will ensue. THE REIGN OF TERROR. The Reign of Disease is a Reign of Terror more awful and devastating than the reign of the Jacobins, or any bloody reign that ever cursed the earth. The Hairs fall from the Scalp, the Gums for- sake the Teeth, the Eyes Sink, the Ears Deafen, the Flesh Softens and withers, the Blood becomes Scrofulous, the Body Paralyzes, the Lungs Congeal with mat- ter, and the Patient Heaves on a Sea of Distress; the Functions Refuse to Work, and the Body becomes the Habitation of Creeping Things, while the Soul is Tram- meled unable to Expand its Heaven-Born faculties. And who would dare " reproach God" for such a state of things'? None but the "foolish," who "lack understanding." Disease Makes Paupers, Creates Infidels Causes Suicides, Transforms Humanity into Objects of Commiseration, Scatters Households to the four winds, Transmits the Fatal Seeds from generation to gen- eration, slaying all Classes and Ages as it sweeps along on its Hellish mission of Suffering, Sorrow and Death. It is written " fools die because they have no wisdom." CHAPTER IV THE CAUSE OR ROOT OF DISEASE ^fS the same in every human being f*ri (though there are many handmaids which strike on the grand cause, known as Colds, Fevers, Falls, etc., considered by unthinking people the cause) but the effects are diversified in kind and degree, as the hereditary tendencies, habits or customs of the person may be. Many feel no pain, nor even difficulty in breathing, until they drop suddenly into the arms of death. There are thou- sands of people walking about, perform- ing their daily duties, who have good frames and strong muscles, but have not a pound of living flesh upon their bodies. The flesh is almost entirely dead, and they are passing away slowly, liable any moment to attacks cf disease, which may terminate life in an instant, a day, or a week's sickness, as the case may be. When the flesh is dead with a good frame-work, it takes from three to five years to get a new coat of flesh, using the Metaphysical Discovery, more or less during that time. The Discovery will cost less than the Funeral, if the flesh is dead, one or the other must be forthcoming. Indications of the sure approach of death are, as a general thing, Sunken Eyes, Thin Hair, poor Circulation, Cold Feet, Nervousness, Dullness of Hearing, Vertigo, etc. Many persons have all these signs; others but a few. WITHIN THE PAST YEAR, I knew two ladies, each about forty-five years of age, who never complained of disease, but were to all appearance, in the most perfect health, strong and robust. They had just returned from a tour in Europe. One fell down suddenly, lived a few days, but never rallied ; and after death, her flesh was so corrupt, that the odor from it was most offensive, demand- ing immediate burial. The other, the wife of a most eminent physician, suffered long and severely from a tumor. For some time previous to her death, she was f tion to follow Christ in his mission, and see what value He put upon the body. 12 MRS. G. M. BROWNS Every act of the Divine Redeemer daz- zled with logic. His programme was to get the body first, and if it was so tightly held by the Devil and his agents as to make its rescue impracticable, in the dark ages—He at least left on record that he began his work logically, in the ri^ht place, at the right time, and for the right thing. Thus did Christ wlien twelve years old—enter the Temple and dispute with the Doctors for the human body. A dispute is a fight. THIS IS THE FIRST PROCLAMATION of war about to commence. The Heaven ly Champion is now on the field of bat- tle, waging war against the Doctors. At that time, the doctors of the soul were doctors of the body also. The sinless and unclouded intellect of the Lord Jesus Christ well understood the preliminary steps for the restoration of the world lying in ruins. Many have wondered why Jesus left his parents so abruptly, as they journeyed from Jerusa- lem ; why he should seem so reckless of parental restraint as to remain behind without their consent or knowledge. Here is a temporal and spiritual problem, which demands solving. The Heavenly Visitant descended to earth to " bear witness unto the truth" and to " destroy the works of the Devil," and his reply to the anxious inquiry of his mother, when she entered the Temple looking for her son, was, " wist ye not that I must be about my father's business 1" He, as God, knew the vastness of his mission, and the necessity of being " instant in season, out of season." The Great Antagonist exhibited to us in Eden, as bruising the Messiah's heel, was ever before His eyes, as one to be conquered. The value of the human body, as shown by Christ in His first innovation, is a sufficient basis for action ; and if the Plan of God for the Body were Comprehended and Practically Carried out, as it is in the earth, according to the law of moisture, then indeed a Founda- tion is Laid upon which to rear a World of Healthy Inhabitants—Healthy Fathers, Healthy Mothers, and Healthy Children. THEN, AND ONLY THEN, WILL THE great faculties of the soul grow and expand, when the people see that God has a Plan, a simple, pleasant plan for the human body (which confirms the declaration, " My yoke is easy, and my burden is light,") to preserve and keep it in perfect health during ts abnormal condition: then, and only lien, will the people have faith, and go nt Yy "nquiry and research, after God ; thus faith will take root downwards, strike out side- wards, and ascend upwards. Yea, the faith of the people will outstrip the tops of the mountains, the result being—dis- appearance of disease from the Land. DISEASED, FEEBLE BODIES NOT MUCH USE TO GOD OR MaS. It is evident to a thinking mina that the purposes of God can never be ac- complished through a diseased, dilapi- dated, dying race of people, whose souls and bodies never come to perfection, their whole life a struggle for existence, and at length dropping off', like untimely fruit. What would the neighbors of a farmer say, who cut down his field of corn while green ? would they not pro- nounce him a fit subject for the Luna- tic Asylum ? Thus is God reproached daily by a " foolish people," who think he calls away their friends, neighbors, and children, from " the evil to come," while in fact they die •' through lack of knowledge." DEATH IS NO PART OF THE PLAN OF GOD--IS ANTAGONISTIC TO HIM. The sufferings of mothers through the death of their children reaches the throne of God, and the irreparable loss of children consequent on the death of parents, and the ofttimes distressing cir- cumstances following, vibrates in eternity, and excites the sympathy of the Heaven- ly world! Do not think it is in the programme of God to have Coffins made, Graves dug, or Loved Kindred torn asunder, and the Human Form tortured and wrecked with disease,—languish and die,—committed to the grave midst METAPHYSICAL DISCOVERY. 13 heart-rending tears and sighs,—to be food for worms f Jesus wept at the tomb of Lazarus, in sympathy with humanity ; he mingled his tears with those of Martha and Mary over the grave of their brother. Jesus groaned in spirit, because he, as God, knew that suffering and death were con- sequent on Satan's having dominion over the body, by an inductive law, introduced into the race through Eve, by the strat- egy of the Devil, which law Christ has put within reach of the race to nullify ; When the people wake up to under- stand this law and its connections, and draw upon the forces which are in Christ, then indeed " there shall be n» more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." Rev. xxi. 4. LAMENTATION OVER THE IGNORANCE OF THE PEOPLE. Think you God would have a Fixed Law for everything in heaven, and on the earth, even to a blade of grass, and the countless pebbles on the ocean shore, and have no law for the preservation of the body, the house of the soul ? That would Un-God the Deity. Do you remember whose voice it was that uttered the sentence which will rise up in judgment against a stupid world ? " Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgot- ten before God ? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered : (does this numbering of your hairs look as if God neglected the laws of your body ?) ye are of more value than many sparrows." Luke xii. 6, 7. " The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib, but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider." Isaiah 1. 3. CHAPTER VI. GOD'S PLAN FOR THE HUMAN BODY. LOOK, BEHOLD ! SEE ! FEEL ! ^fjlfHAT G"od has aPPointerl a Plan tjJf^f for the human body in its Ab- normal state, whereby it may be pre- served from disease, and that law is, moisture of a three-fold charac- ter ; the very same law by which the earth is preserved in its abnormal state, and of which the human body is part and parcel. God calls you to the con- sideration and elucidation of this com- bined law of moisture. God has been Telling the World of this law for the past six thousand years—yea, exhibiting the law before their eyes—it has been sounding in their ears, but Stupid Hu- manity could not " hear the voice of the charmer, charm he never so wisely!" GOD'S PLAN FOR THE PRESERVATION OF THE HUMAN BODY. HEAR, AND UNDERSTAND TT ! And now, my reader, let me invite your attention to the wondrous plan of God for the sustenance and preservation of the human body in all its simplicity and grandeur. Your Talents of Observation and Comparison are here brought into requi- sition. First you will observe, that before God formed man of the dust of the earth, he caused a mist to rise—as there had been no rain—whereby the whole face of the earth was moistened. After the ground was well watered, God formed man out of it. The principle holds good forever, that man is of the earth, earthy; and the flesh that was made from the earth must be sustained by the same undying law which sustains the earth, namely, suitable moisture. When God changed the dust of the earth into a human body, He did not change the principle; but only changed the material, for the time being to serve a great purpose. This fact is already demonstrated by His own declaration, "Dust thou art, and unto dust thou shalt return." Behold this earth on which you dwell, then ask yourself, have you understood the purposes of God in making the earth, the circumstances which called forth its existence, and then sustained and gov- 14 MRS. M. G erned that existence. Understand that God made the earth and all its furni- ture, knowing it would fall into the hands of the devil. He knew from all eternity that it would fall into the hands of the destroyer; and the divine wisdom and skill exercised in the creation were governed by this cardinal point. MANY WONDER WHY THE SEA WAS MADE. And to those who view the sea in the abstract it has always been an enigma. The sea can only be understood in its grandeur and magnitude, in connection with the parts to which it belongs. The earth was teeming Avith life before the fall. There had been no rain, for the reason that none was required until the curse came. Then life became extinct, and the reign of death universal ensued. God could not have carried out His pur- poses had He not sustained the earth in opposition to the reign of death. For this object He made the sea, from which to supply the earth with moisture during its abnormal condition, and by this Divine process He sustains every living creature that moves upon the face of the earth. When Christ descends to claim and receive the kingdoms of this world, " then there will be no more sea." Rev. xxi. 1. It is written, "My Father worketh hitherto and I work." From this remark we may with safety conclude that it took the combined forces of the Godhead to save and redeem the world, physically and spiritually. THE WATER-SPOUT. Now observe, that the sea is taken up by the water-spout into the clouds, the laboratory of the earth, and there pre- pared by Divine skill into moisture of a three-fold character; the dew-drops, which God's industrious hand supplies every night, preparing the earth for the bursting forth of the sun; the rain, which penetrates the heart of the earth, clearing obstructions ; the frost and snow, which act as a tonic, producing immedi- ate circulation, bidding the dead earth leap into life. My Metaphysical Discovery is a three-fold moisture. . brown's dew-drops. No. 1 is the Dew-Drops, entering in at the eyes, found in Poor Richard's Eye Water, which corresponds with the tear. It penetrates through eight thousand tubes and glands around the eyes, open- ing the Mucus Membrane in the Head —the Avenue to the Life of the body. RAIN. No. 2 is the Rain, entering in at the ears, found in the Ear Preparation, which passes into every avenue of the head and trunk, dissolving mucus, and removing all obstructions—carrying them off through the appointed channels of the body. frost and snow. No. 3 is the Frost and Snow, entering in at the Scalp, found in the Scalp Reno- vation, which acts as a tonic to the Scalp, moving the forces underlying it. Namely, the Salt Fountain; same as supplies the tear which corresponds with the Sea. This Fountain issues forth when moved upon, through ten thousand chan- nels, carrying fife to every part of the system; it is the pioneer to both mind and body; the life of each follows in its train as in its course, it produces ventil- ation and circulation. Having these, the whole machinery works harmoni- ously. OH, WONDEROUS WISDOM ! Man has never comprehended the stu- pendous plan of God in the workings of the earth, and which is so inseparably allied to the laws which govern the body. Every law except the law of moisture has been tried, to meet the re- quirements of the machinery of the body ; but signally failed—for the very good reason they were in direct opposition to the Divine plan. CHAPTER VH. THE FARMER A CO-LABORER WITH GOD. ^tLLOW me to call your attention to £§^ the fact that God supplies moisture METAPHYSICAL DISCOVERY. 15 to the earth knowing man could not do this ; but declares that man shall till the ground—thus is a man a co-laborer with God. How anxiously does the husbandman look for the early and latter rain. What farmer would plant his seed in the ground did he think God would fail to send even the frost and snow which give circulation to the earth ? Behold, God changes His programme with the body, which is of the earth, earthy. God works it by fixed laws, but requires man to supply suitable moisture through the proper doors; there is no alternative, moisture must be supplied by the human hand. If food could be obtained without till- ing the soil, man would not till the soil; but it is part of the wise plan of God, that man—during the abnormal condi- tion of the race—shall till the ground, or die. The Divine declaration is, and the ex- perience of all ages proves, that the human body perishes through lack of knowledge. Sad facts stand forth by millions, pro- claiming the countless, diversified means hitherto resorted to by humanity, to ward off disease and death—" broken cisterns, that can hold no water." It is evident God intended the people to use their intelligence, their heaven- born mental faculties, to discover and compreliend His wondrous plan, made in wisdom for the proper working of the physical machinery. Alas! alas! they have not^been observing God—though working with Him—preserving the earth from disease and death, from which the body was taken, but have sought out " many inventions," powerless to heal, powerless to save. Now it is time to awake and behold God working with the farmer, and the farmer working with God. Beautiful thought, bringing us so near to God! Yes, God desires the race to be intelli- gent co-laborers with Him, in the care of the human body as well as in the care and culture of the ground. CHAPTER VOL THE HUMAN BODY IS A TEMPLE, RESIGNED by the Great Architect dUg as a habitation for the soul, and the principles which govern their connec- tion are measurably similar to those exist- ing between landlord and tenant—God is the landlord, the body the house, and the soul the tenant. The Divine Landlord endowed the tenant (the soul) with gifts and talents; the first and leading one is the power over the Will, so that in the use of the will, we are tenants at will; can remain in the body or go out, as we please, there being many channels whereby the soul may leave the body. Holy Writ furnishes us with the sad intelligence that man, by a certain act, (which act, hitherto veiled in mystery, and unknown to the world; with its ter- rible consequences will be fully elucid- ated at a future time) took another ten- ant into the body (the house of the soul), that foul fiend, the Devil, and he, like all other bad tenants, makes a wreck of the building, and consigns it, through strategy, to utter desolation. Every eye has seen, and every heart felt, the sad effects of the Destroyer's power in the destruction of the human body. When Satan entered the body, he took control of the mental, moral, and physical of man. This was the only channel through which he could continue to wage war against God. Man, being a free-will agent, had power to renounce his allegiance to God, which he -------- did, and at the same time took part with the Devil, as the Fallen Angels had done before him. This should convince the most skeptical of the power of the Devil. God warned our first parents that if they "ate of the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil," they would " surely die." Gen. ii. 17. By and through God alone does life come and remain in the body; death came, and ever comes, through the Devil. A father would say to his child, " Willie, my son, if you put your hand in the fire you will be burned." Thus 16 MRS. SI. G. BROWN S did God say to our first parents, " In the day that ye eat thereof (or, in other words, give your bodies to the Devil), ye shall surely die," knowing that the moment the Devil entered the human body, the spirit of God in man would be silenced, when—the Salt Fountain, un- derlying the scalp (which alone could sus- tain life,) would necessarily be cut off, and death ensue. Well has the Divine Declaration been verified from that day to this hour! THE TRANSLATION OF ENOCH AND ELIJAH AN INNOVATION. Death has reigned universal; all have paid the penalty of the insulted law but two, Enoch and Elijah, who were trans- lated to their home in Heaven, taken without dying. This was certainly an innovation—a signal, thrown up to be taken down in subsequent ages for analyzation, to show that God never intended man to die. "Christ hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light." 2 Tim., i. 9, 10. And when the race fully makes up to understand and appropriate the provisions of God in the atonement of His Son, Mentally, Spiritually, and Physically, then, and not till then, "death itself will die." CHAPTER IX. BARBAROUS INSTRUMENTS. H^lASSING Instruments into the head, l*^ through the Eari and Nostrils, or snuffing anything up the nose, or inhaling Nostrums into the lungs, is an insult to the intelligent people of the nineteenth centuiy. The Creator intended nothing to go in at the ears but moisture. To all who will take the trouble to examine the ear, it will be very demonstrable that God made it, in all its bearings, as a choice avenue to convey moisture to the regions of the head, as well as to the entire sys- tem. God "planted the ear," Psalm xciv. 9 —planted it in the body, which is earth ; and it is evident that the earth, which is the body, and the plant, which is the car, both require moisture. THE STRUGGLES OF CHILDREN TEETHING. The Teeth of Children struggling to cut their way through the gums, are to be compared to young grass cutting its way through stiff, hard ground; the lat- ter would be dwarfed and die without the Rain or Dew. This is just what children require—moisture passed into their system through the eyes, cars, and scalp. It will act on the teeth and gums, as does the moisture on the ground and grass. Good teeth will spring from a healthy, well-moistened gum, and if sus- tained as above described, they will not decay. WORMS IN CHILDREN. Thousands of children suffer pain and die from Worms. It is better to prevent the existence of worms than let them ac- cumulate in thousands, paralyzing the growth of both mind and body. My Metaphysical Discovery is a certain pre- ventive against worms: it also expels them from the system. It is safer and quick- er than any Powders or Lozenges. The Discovery is the Child's Friend in every stage. CHILDREN WITHOUT DISEASES. To prevent all diseases of children from earliest infancy, it is necessary to remove the obstruction from the tubes and glands in their heads, which they inherit from their parents. It is these obstructions which engenders all disease, Convulsions, Cholera Infantum, Croup, Fevers, &c. So erroneous are the views of the peo pie, that they think children must go through a course of diseases, as if to pre- pare them for school-life and college. Poor children ! what sufferings they are subjected to through Inscience. They cannot tell their tale but by crying, nor do they know the door by which sorrow and pain reaches them at the dawn of existence. It is unnecessary to name the numer- ous diseases incident to infancy and child- hood, which are Effcets springing from METAPHYSICAL DISCOVERY. 17 One Cause, and sustained from One Root. My Metaphysical Discovery removes the Cause and destroys the Root; con- sequently disease cannot exist where the Cause is removed and the Root destroy- ed. Where there is no fuel, the fire goes out. The use of my Metaphysical Discovery on infants, from birth, would cut off the various diseases by which countless mil- lions of children are deprived of existence. They would pass up through all the vari- ous stages of life, without being attacked by the Monster Disease. Their studies, instead of being a wearisome task, labor, and toil, as they now are, would be easy and inspiring. Their intellects would have room to expand, and become strong and vigorous. PARENTS AWAKE! and EDU- CATE YOUR CHILDREN to the un- dying and unchanging truth,that MOIST- URE must be supplied to the HEAD DAILY, (as found in my Discovery), through the EYES, EARS, and SCALP, whereby obstructions are prevented, the flesh sustained, and ventilation and circu- lation secured to the entire system, from the crown of the head to the sole of the foot. Teach them this doctrine by example, as well as by precept, and thus save your generations from a Reign of Terror, which is a Reign of Disease, causing Thousands to rise up and call you Blessed. The Metaphysical Discovery will open a new era in the life of childhood. WOMEN IN PREGNANCY. should understand that moisture thus passed into the system by absorption, is indispensible to the work of all works which they are performing, namely, that of clothing an immortal spirit with flesh, which is of the earth. From clay, tempered with moisture, God formed the Father and Mother of us all, and clay tempered with moisture, is still requisite to clothe the immortal spirit. The sufferings of mothers during pregnancy and birth is caused from want of moisture in their system. The sufferings of children before birth, and after birth for want of moisture, is far beyond the com- prehension of the most devoted mother! Think of the countless thousands slaugh- tered in the womb with instruments, and never suffered to see the light. These terrible sufferings and the fearful de- struction of infants could be prevented, by freely using the Metaphysical Dis- covery. CHAPTER X. MRS. M. G. BROWN'S DAUGHTER A SUF- FERER FROM ASTHMA, .^j HjjT is with joy and gratitude unspeak- (?£3 able, that I, too, can bear testimony, for the benefit of many despondent suffer- ers from Asthma. My second daughter began to show signs of asthma, when a little girl. She probably inherited it, for I well remember one of my father's broth- ers was a martyr to that distressing com- plaint. For twenty years he never slept in bed ; doubtless the disease was trans- mitted to her in the following way. Every human being is born with the ma- -'inery of their head clogged, to a greater lesser degree; their parents have been b«- m so before them, from all generations. This is being born in death. Parents transmit the stoppages in their heads, to their offspring, thus are all bora to strug- gle with disease. Diseases in children are the fruit of such an inheritance. Not only in child- hood are they subject to outbursts of dis- ease, but all through life. Any slight ex- posure may produce a disease, and does, according to the general tendencies of the constitution and surroundings. My beloved Lizzie was at school on the banks of the Hudson, and no doubt, the peculiar air was to much for her, pre- disposed as she was to asthma. In a few months the disease began to show it- self, and so rapidly increased that her re- moval was necessary. Her sufferings for fourteen years are really indescrib- able. She was removed to different cli- mates, thinking a change of air would lessen or alleviate the attacks; but no; her disease was invincible; the flesh 18 MRS. M. G. BROWN'S wasted away, and her skin became, through the terrible attacks, dark and ap- parently dead. In physical appearance she was a wreck. Her sufferings could not be told. Her chamber was an Hos- pital ; burning Saltpetre papers, smoking Stramonium, Mustard poultices, etc., had become as it were, a second nature. She was reduced to a skeleton, and often, at the point of death. During these years of suffering, I would as soon have expected to raise the dead, as to see her freed from asthma ; and had it not been that she was blessed with a most devoted sister, who watched by her side, day and night, bringing pallia- tives to aid her breathing, ere the attack came on, she would long since have passed from earth. The wonderful care bestowed by this beloved sister, together with the most nourishing and suitable food—kept back the hand of death—during a period of many years—till by the mercy of God, my Metaphysical Discovery came to her rescue; she found in it instant relief; every hour told the pleasing story, of the great physical salvation found in the Metaphysical Discovery, by which my beloved child was to be lifted from the gates of death. By copious applications of the Discovery through eyes, ears, and scalp, the disease began to give way, her breathing became easier, her attacks dis- appeared ! For years she lived in con- tinual dread of an attack, each one con fining her for days to bed, seldom ever recovering the effects of one, till another came on. Now her fears subsided to brighter prospects. Four years have passed since suffering from one of her old attacks. Many of my friends thought me vision- ary for even attempting to think there was a possibility of saving her life. When the Discovery began its work with her, it immediately attacked the cause of her disease, and of course the effect, which was Astlnra, ceased to exist; but her flesh was dead, and her body a wreck through the ravages of disease. After waiting two years for appearance of health, I could see none. She was gaining strength, but her flesh seemed as though it could not live again. I betook myself to find out the cause as it appeared to me an illogical fact that the flesh refused to live. I at once concluded that the cause was her immense head of hair, which in- terfered with the laws by which the Salt Fountain should flow from the scalp to provide for and sustain the flesh. Con- sequently, in July last, her hair was cut off, and from that time her health has been uninterrupted, and her flesh exhib- iting unmistakable signs of steady return to life. I have never met so much strength in so short a time, after such complete prostration. Though her dis- ease disappeared four years since, yet it is only now that flesh and blood seem to begin to live. When first using the Dis- covery my daughter began to look worse instead of better, got thinner instead of gaining ; but this was in accordance with the law, to pull down before you build up, removing the dead flesh before bringing new. I would say, my daughter experienced no unpleasant sensations whatever while using the Discovery, except for a few hours the first day she applied it; when she felt strangely, very weak and unable to walk much: but this soon passed away. She ever enjoys exceedingly, applying : the three parts of the Discovery, realiz- ing only a most pleasant, cool, refreshing feeling. If she takes cold, or gets over fatigued, she uses the Discovery very freely, and thus prevents return of dis- ease. She puts No. 2 to her ears (not using the tube, thinking it tedious; I, myself put it into my ears from a small bottle) and passes a bottle full into her system in a day or two. My daughter thinks that none have benefited more by the discovery than herself. Her attacks were so frequent and so severe, brought on by the most trifling exposure, confining her for weeks and months to her room, and now being de- livered from them, she feels, as it were, transplanted into another world. Eighteen months since, my daughter, by exposure, took cold, and in three da) s was attacked with congestion of the lungs. 1 saw danger on every side, her METAPHYSICAL DISCOVERY 19 breathing was most difficult and strength fast failing; feeling she must have help or sink, I immediately resorted to the Metaphysical Discovery, and in a short time passed not less than half a tea-cup full of No. 1 (Poor Richard's Eye Water) into her eyes ; also a bottle full of No. 3 (Ear Preparation) into her ears, with an unusual quanity of No. 2 (the Renova- tor) on the scalp. The result was, that the Discovery at once cut up the phlegm ; > she soon began to discharge the congealed matter from the air cells of her lungs. In less than an hour, by expdctoration and an evacuation from the bowels, both of which the Discovery produced, the attack was broken up, and the next day she was about as usual. Many at the same time ■ prominent in society died in a few hours with attacks similar, and I fully believe she would have died also but for the Metaphysical Discovery. Her recovery from death and the grave I consider the most remarkable on record, after having as it were, stood on the edge of an open tomb for fourteen years. DISEASE A TORNADO. Disease is a tornado which traverses the whole system, destroying both mind and body. I appeal to the business man, and ask him as to his failing memory, his growing inability to concentrate thought for the furtherance of his plans. All classes are suffering in their business and social re- lations, through inability of the physical system—just as the earth would fail to yield its various crops, were it deprived of the nourishment in which the life of the earth consists. The Sun in the Firmanent is to the earth what the hot head is to the physi- cal system; excessive heat from either dries up the moisture. The sufferings of the people from the heat of their heads are indescribable. The entire mental and physical system is being de- stroyed under the withering influence of the unnatural heat. The Metaphysical Discovery, in this case, acts as does the rain, dew and frost upon the parched earth, cooling, fertilizing and draining from the system, through the proper chan- nels, every obstruction. Many attribute the saving of their lives to the cooling of their heads by my Metaphysical Discov- ery. This heat must be subdued, and ev- ery channel and avenue of the body ven- tilated and kept ventilated, if the functions and faculties of body and mind are pre- served. CHAPTER XI. THE FATALITY OF CATARRH. |fjtATARRH is a terrible and fatal dis 7TL5 ease. Its course is of such a nature that it demands immediate attention. I am pained exceedingly to find so many otherwise sensible people using snuff of various kinds, without stopping to think that this snuff is only sending back the effect; it never reaches the cause. All who use snuff, or applications through the throat or nostrils, are in reality driving the mucus and snuff through the machinery of the head, thence to the throat and lungs The mucus and snuff become mortar, clogging up every avenue designed to ventilate the system. The consequence is, that when ventilation is cut off, circu- lation gradually ceases; then disease seizes the entire frame, till, in fact, death is the result of clogging up the system with snuff and mucus, as these two agents prepare the way for Consumption and death. Catarrh is certainly the handmaid of death. There are many kinds of Catarrh, all terminating fatally, if the root is not utterly destroyed. This can be done only by the use of my Metaphysical Discovery; it is positively the only logical treatment for Catarrh. All other applications aggravate and spread the disease. Thou- sands are deprived of life through having | the disease treated, instead of the cause of the disease. My Discovery has never failed in a case of Catarrh, nor can it fail, as it re- moves the cause; and if used occasion- ally all through life, prevents its return. 20 MRS. M. G. BROWN'S TRUE LOGIC OF THE SCALP. There never was a more Illogical act than that of treating the Scalp alone, for either Baldness, Blanching, Falling off of the Hair, or any other disease of the Scalp. A lady remarked to me that her hair had ceased to fall out as formerly, through a preparation she used to stop its falling off. She said she had had Catarrh badly, but through Turkish baths was almost cured, or, at least, helped. I asked her to be candid, and tell me what new disease had shown it- self in her system, since her hair stopped coming out, and her Catarrh appeared better ? She paused. I still insisted she must have had some symptoms of a new disease, as it could not be otherwise. Well, she replied, 1 am getting a little deaf, and my eyes are weak and pain me. This, I said, is a new form of the same disease which caused your hair to fall off, and produced Catarrh. The scalp cannot be treated in the ab Btract, regardless of the laws surrounding it. It must be treated in conjunction with the eyes and ears. Would not a farmer be looked upon as a fool who would spend his time soiling the top of the ground? Does he not reach down into the interior of the soil ? So must you go in by the eyes and ears, in connection with the scalp, if ever you remove the cause of Thin, Blanched or Falling Hair, Baldness, or Scalp Disease. If you will not do this, you would be wise to let ycur scalp remain as it is; to touch it alone, is to awaken Sleeping and Bark- ing Dogs in your constitution. The Scalp Renovator is as valuable to the scalp as the Frost and Snow are to the earth; but Frost and Snow alone will not preserve the earth, and furnish food for man and beast; Rain and Dew-Drops roust accompany the Frost and Snow. These three are necessary for the earth; and the body is earth, and must have three distinct moistures, as described in this Pamphlet. They are essentially ne- cessary to remove and keep disease at bay, from the crown of the head to the sole of the foot. NATURE WORKS SLOWLY--GRADUALLY. Mankind should use their logical pow- ers when investigating the laws of the physical system, and the cause of disease. Look for a moment at the operations of Nature. How gradually and silently day by day, and year by year, the forms of animal and vegetable life are brought to their full stature and perfection. Notice how the Rain and Dew are properly and regularly furnished, giving life to vegetation, and filling the store-houses of earth for our supply. Many inquiries are made as to what diseases can be cured by my Discovery. When the people fully understand the Law of Cause and Effect, or what is similar, and by some more easily com- prehended, namely,.the Law which gov- erns a tree and its branches—(all can understand that its branches vary in size and appearance; but are sustained by, and derive their life from the root; that if the root were destroyed, the branches, all the branches, would necessarily wither and die)—they will easily perceive by what Law my Discovery reaches every Disease—that as it removes the Cause, or, in other words, utterly destroys the Root of disease, thereby cutting off suste- nance—diseases which are effects must disappear, must die. When the fountain dries up, does not the stream cease to run ! Just so sure will disease, which is an effect, cease, when the Root or Cause is destroyed. Follow the teachings of nature in apply- ing remedies. Wait patiently for your cure. Disease has been making inroads upon your system for years; your hairs have fallen from your head one by one; will you not be willing to give the natu- ral forces time to return your losses, and rebuild the structure? This will cer- tainly be done, if you remove the cause, by a thorough course of treatment with my Metaphysical Discovery. TnE VALUE OF TRUTH--HOW TO FIND IT. Truth does not require to be bolstered up with complex arguments, sophistry or high-sounding words, which are used to | cover defective knowledge, blind and METAPHYSICAL DISCOVERY. 21 darken the understanding of the unwary and unlearned. Truth, like its Author, is plain, simple, and easy to comprehend; but the suc- cessful Seeker after Truth must under- stand that Truth and Lies, like the " Wheat and Tares " spoken of by Christ, cannot be separated as long as the " Prince of Darkness rules this world," except the Talents are sharp and in live- ly exercise. Through this channel, and this alone, Truth can be discovered. Observation is the A in the Alphabet of Talents. This indispensable talent comes into requisition first, then follow the others: Apprehension, Comprehen- sion, Inquiry, Analyzation, Meditation, Comparison, Construction, Conclusion, Decision, Determination, Perseverance, &c. In the use of these Talents, which may be called tools, all classes of society may ward off imposition, and without difficulty recognize Truth, when present- ed. The Bountiful Giver of Talents has so arranged in His all-wise purposes, that the talents may become sharp and bright as the finest steel, consequently capable of cutting away the rubbish which surrounds Truth. You are aware that steel becomes brighter and sharper the more it is used, therefore better prepared for more effi- cient service. Thus, in the methodical and constant use of your talents, you will enrich and protect yourself. You will also transmit a wealth of knowledge to your children, yea, to generations. At the same time bear in mind that the Talents are like steel in another and important sense. When steel is not in use it becomes rusty, and is unpleasant to have in the house ; how glad are we to sell it as old iron. So with the Talents, they will prove a present and future curse to us, as well as to our offspring for generations, if they become rusty, una- vailable. t@f Rusty Talents are profitable to the Devil; he, the father of lies and con- fusion, can use them well to his advan- tage. CHAPTER XIL TO ALL WHO MAY USE MY METAPHYSICAL DISCOVERY. fTfsl^Y Metaphysical Discovery cannot &%M at tms date be understood without a definite exposition from me, its discov- erer, and an earnest effort on my part to inspire faith in all minds. In addressing the world, I would say, had I made my Metaphysical Discovery local, I would have had the great pleasure of seeing and conversing with many who use it; but feeling it a duty incumbent upon me to give it to the world at large, it will be impossible to meet in this life one out of the thousands who may use it. Yet I fondly anticipate the great pleasure of hailing many of them on the shores of eternal deliverance, where sickness, disease, and death, will be unknown. I have no doubt whatever that I was certainly directed in answer to prayer to find out and test the principles of my Metaphysical Discovery before the eyes of the world, that it might serve as a Forerunner of a Greater and still Higher Discovery, Had it not been for this, I would never have undertaken the Herculean task of sending my Discovery to the masses, through a channel made offensive, and justly eyed with suspicion—because of the gross deceptions and lies of Pa- tent Medicines—(unintentional, however, on the part of many)—which never have, and never can, destroy the Root of Disease. If what I sought were Large Fees for curing Deafness, Blindness, Catarrh and other diseases, I could have had these in abundance—every inducement being held out to me—but no, my Motives were of a Higher Order—and remembering the Discovery was given to me for a pur- pose—I have put it at a nominal price, that the Poor, as well as the Rich, may reach it through the Druggists. The Metaphysical Discovery is cer- tainly one of the Trumpeters which is destined to lead the way for the Dawn of the Millennium Morn. Inasmuch as the body received the first visible blight 22 MRS. M. G. BROWNS of the Fall, the body will be the first visibly restored. I take this opportunity to counsel and advise you. I beg you will let it have the same force as if I were speaking to you face to face. Be not faithless, but believing. I urge upon all who desire life and health, to have faith in my Dis- covery (not that I value faith itself, farther than as an incentive to action), for without the methodical use of my Discovery, disease cannot be removed or kept at bay. Faith Nerves to Action. I am sorry many are born without faith: to such I would earnestly say, hang on my faith, it knows no boundary lino. On the other hand, I would say to 'those who are skeptical, or do not (and would not) take the trouble to un- derstand the laws by which my Meta- physical Discovery works, that they will do themselves and me a service, by allow- ing the Discovery to pass unnoticed. In this way they will save their money and my reputation ; for except the Dis- covery is tested understandingly, better not touch it at all. " BUY THE TRUTH, AND SELL IT NOT." Truth has ever met with opposition, and there is no truth more strongly guarded by the Prince of Darkness than the truth which opens the prison doors of disease. In taking hold of my Metaphysical Discovery, you must do as Bunyan's Pilgrim, when he fled from the City of Destruction. He well knew that if ever he arrived in the land of Beulah he must give a deaf ear to all who neither saw nor felt as he did. Therefore he put his fingers in his ears, and ran for his life. When Christ sent out the seventy Apostles to introduce His new doctrines, He commanded them to " salute no man by the way," well knowing that those who met them, as they went, would discourage and turn them back from going on their strange and then peril- ous mission. I know of many who would now be living and well, had they followed my directions, in the use of my Metaphysi- cal Discovery. But alas ! for them, they were influenced by friends, who knew not what they said. They gave up my Discovery, which alone could have saved their lives, and drugged themselves to death. I will give one illustration out of many. A YOUNG MAN IN CONSUMPTION began to use my Discovery, and was each day gaining—every step was up- ward. I lis family could not understand my Discovery, and employed a lung doc- tor, who examined his lungs with an instrument. He told his family that his remedies would help him. The young man actually began to fatten on the bal- sams administered, and was so deceived as to believe he would soon resume busi- ness, little thinking that the supposed new flesh was simply bloating, produced by drugs, which could not be digested, and were filling up every avenue of his body. On finding himself and his family so deluded as to the final result, I told a relative of his, that when the drugs had clogged up the digestive organs, bowels, &c, he would die—as I well knew the cause of his disease was the closed up condition of his head; and it was a logical conclusion, that when ventilation was cut off from the lower regions of the body, death must ensue, which was the case in about a month. True to fixed laws, disease fled to his head, from whence it started, and soon dethroned reason. On learning the fact, I hastened to his bedside, and in a few hours saw his eyes close in death. Had he not been stuffed with drugs, even in |the absence of my Discovery, he could have lived one or more years : he was strong, and his extremities warm to the last; but ventilation being cut off in both head and body, he could live no longer. Before losing his reason, he fully re- alized that he was a victim to drug- ging, and often expressed a desire to give his sad experience to a deluded world. HOW 1 MADE MY DISCOVERY. " Through desire, a man, having sep- arated liimself, seeketh and intermed- METAPAYSICAL DISCOVERY. 23 dleth with all wisdom"—Prov. xviii. 1. This passage of Holy Writ gives you some idQa of the course pursued by me till I arrived at what I now offer to the world, viz., my Metaphysical Discovery, and which is the Forerunner of a Moral Discovery destined certainly to revolu- tionise tho Avorld. The latter I discov- ered first, after a life of research, looking for the root of all the Wrong, Sorrow, and Suffering to which an unfortunate humanity has ever been subjected, with- out any visible appearance of cessation. Inheriting a mind restlessly tracing effects to their causes, after understand- ing the laws by which the Heaven-born Institution of Marriage has been blasts ed, and all the beautuul walls and bul- warks turned into shame and confusion, with their inseparable train of horrors; I say, after attaining to this knowledge, I very soon found that the Spiritual and Moral were so closely allied to and im- bedded in the Physical, that all travail in pain together, and when deliverance comes to one it will come to all. The Physical part of man was the first created and first to fall, and it is a log- ical fact, that it must be the first re- stored. Nothing more than isolated good snould be expected in any depart- ment of the world, till the law is under- stood by which disease is begotten and sustained. This lesson will serve as a schoolmaster pointing to a higher and yet higher law, that of the Moral and Spiritual. The Moral comes after the Physical, and, as a natural consequence, the Spiritual crowns the Mental, Moral and Physical forces, all in harmony with Deity. Now, as the race has been put in a position to rise again, Physically, Moral- ly, and Spiritually, by the great provi- sions of the Gospel, it is necessary that all should understand the laws by which these provisions are to be reached. " The oxen and the fatlings are killed and all things are ready" (Matt. xxii. 4), for the restoration of the race to its orig- inal glory. The attitude of Christ is one of ex- pectancy—" waiting until the times (" times" signify when people under- stand) of restitution of all things."— Acts iii. 21. There is one golden cord vibrating throughout the entire Sacred Volume from the first line to the last, and that is " Get Understanding." THE TRADE- MARK OF OMNIPOTENCE IS, " GET UNDERSTANDING." CHAPTER XIII. SATAN CONTROLS THE IMAGINATION OF MAN. "The Imagination is evil, and that Continually." —Genesis vi. 5. §HAKESPEARE, whose capacious ; mind sought knowledge from every source, well knew that the "natural gates and alleys of the body" were to be reached through the ears. In the play of Hamlet, the Ghost is made to say :— " And in the porches of mine ears did pour The 'eprous distilment, whose effect Had such an enmity with blood of man That swift as quicksilver it courses through The natural gates and alleys of the body." Since the DEVIL GOT POSSESSION OF THE RACE, He has deluded the people into the be- lief that the eyes and ears are not to be touc/ied, understanding well that they are the proper avenues and channels to the machinery of the human body, which avenues it is to his interest to keep closed, (and he can only do so through the imagination of the people.) To effect this object, he has barking dogs at the doors, shouting continually, " Do not touch your eyes or ears ; they are delicate organs;" while, in fact, the world's de- stroyer knows well they are the only doors, in connection with the scalp, designed by God to pass moisture in, for the preservation of the body in its ab- normal condition. The Devil showed Eve, through her imagination, that when she would do a certain thing she would be equal with God. Monstrous Father of Lies ! who would not awake and fly from his teach- 24 MRS. M. G. BROWN'S ings, which have perverted every law of God. CHRIST REBUKXS THE IGNORANCE OF PETER. The last day of the memorable life of the blessed Saviour was spent in curing the sick, undoing the Devil's work. " Tell that fox," said he, meaning Herod, the Devil's agent on earth, " I do cures to-day and to-morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected." Every word spoken by Christ relative to the human body contains a world of meaning. He dare say little concerning the body, as the Devil stood ready to strike the fatal blow through man's destructive arm. Every oppor- tunity was seized by Christ to guide the people into truth, but alas ! to no purpose. They are as stupid to the logical meaning of the Divine innovations to-day as eighteen hundred years ago. Christ left an indignant rebuke on record; indeed so radically was it poured forth in the ears of Peter, that all who rend the striking passage may well conclude that it was stronger than a signal or a rocket, that it might awake and put in alarm the world at large, relative to pouring medi- cines down the throat. Read Matthew, 15th chapter, 15th and 16th verses: "And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without un- derstanding *? Do not ye yet understand that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?" Millions of lives would have been saved had this imperishable saying been understood. But, alas! in this nineteenth century we find the peo- ple have eyes and see not, ears and hear not, hearts and understand not. They are as deaf as adders. Like Peter, they cannot understand, while God calls en all, with all their getting to get under- standing. It is the will and command of God to know the laws through which they may live, and enjoy health and strength. "the light of the eody (the health) is the eye. Since the world began, the c«use of disease was never removed by pouring medicine down the throat. The head is the seat of Ifev.s well as the seat of death. A ventilated head provides the body with a supply of moisture, while a head clogged with mucous is deprived of moisture itself, consequently it has none to bestow on the body ; and when both head and trunk are without the salt moisture, same as the tear underlying the scalp, then, indeed, is the entire system exposed to the same deteriorating law that the earth would be if any cir- cumstance should occur which would depiive it of the natural moisture pro- vided daily for its sustenance and preser- vation. Ever remember that Christ innovated relative to the eye when he said the light of the body was the eye. He dare not say the health of the body, as that would have interfered with the doctors, and the consequences would have been fatal. He used the term light, but tells us to search the Scriptures for hidden treasures. The meaning of the Divine innovation is that there are 8,000 tubes and glands around the eyes, and except they are kept cleansed and free from stoppages, the life-giving salt moisture proceeding from the scalp is obstructed in its passage over and around the eyes; consequently, when there is no outlet for it, it ceases to run. The salt moisture may be compared to the sea. It issues forth from under the scalp, like the arm of the sea going forth to water the earth. It remains salt till it reaches the mucous membrane of the head, where it halts, lubricating powerfully this com- plex part, being the main avenue to the whole system. At this point it changes its nature to suit the various-missions it has to perform, and like the arm of the sea which, by Divine appointment, divides and pursues its course through countless avenues and channels, watering, cleansing and sustaining the earth—spreads itself into every avenue and channel of the body. This^ salt fountain is the food of the flesh; it cleanses, purifies, and hardens, preparing it to meet the demands of the blood, just as the locksmith would pre- pare the lock to meet the demands of the hey. When the salt fountain is obstructed the flesh is deprived of its natural food, then the fie h becomes soft, and turns i into a bed of mucous. This condition of METAPHYSICAL DISCOVERY. 25 the flesh causes impure blood. The blood cannot circulate while the flesh is unsus- tained by the salt fountain. This alone can feed and sustain the flesh. If the race would devise plans as numerous as the sand of the sea for preserving the body from disease, they will ever prove futile, " broken cisterns that can hold no water." No plan will work but the plan of the Inventor. All machinery has a plan, and will work only on its own plan. Who would dare interfere with the plan of a man who has invented a machine ? None but a fooL Wonderful! all have a plan of their own for the human body ! } The consequence is, our world is one of j disease and graveyards. All flesh groans J under the weight of the most terrible and ! fatal diseases. Children are born dis i eased; they are dried up with thirst; i their heads are closed up by inheritance. This accounts for the host of diseases and fearful mortality among children. If health and strength are inaugurated, and disease banished from the earth, the fixed law of Divine Wisdom (which is the free and full ventilation of the head and trunk by moisture of a threefold character) must be understood and obeyed. No other law will work. Examine the eyes and scalps of those with whom you come in contact, even children, and at a glance you will perceive the eyelids lying in folds, the ball having receded. In most persons the ball is discoloring, a scum is coming over it. In all such cases the gums are softening, the teeth are decay- ing for want of their proper food; the hair is blanched, it falls from the scalp; the skin darkens, withers; circulation gradually ceases, and disease begets di- sease, till the body, imperceptibly in most cases, before it arrives at full vigor, is cut down for want of knowledge. Every law that ingenuity could invent has been tried to deliver the body from disease, but the law invented by God, moisture of a three-fold character. This first and great metaphysical law has been over- | looked by all, sages, doctors, and people of all ages. " THE LORD LOOKED DOWN FROM HEAVEN to see if there were any that did under- stand and seek God." How indignant He must have felt when uttering the fol- lowing sentence : " Every one of them has gone back, they have become filthy, they are foolish, they have none under- standing." Is not the same language applicable now ? " Therefore the people are gone into captivity (disease is captivity), because they have no knowledge ; and their hon- orable men are famished, and their multi- tude dried up with thirst." CHAPTER XIV. WORKINGS OF THE METAPHYSICAL DIS- COVERY. ^S^ffHILE the Discovery is separating j,J^Jr;| and annihilating the root from disease, or diseases which infest the sys- tem, thus cutting off all sustenance whereby disease could live; I wish it understood that, as a general thing, some differ from others as to the effects pro duced while using the Discovery ; but by understanding, all will acknowledge that my Metaphysical Discovery is all, yea, much more, than is claimed. NO. 1.—poor Richard's eye water. The dust received into the eyes daily works itself into mortar, which clogs the machinery of the head, and,closes up the eight thousand tubes and glands around the eyes; the balls contract and sink; they grow to the socket, and consequently the revolving power is impeded; this is what causes the blood streaks, the dark greenish color of the balls, and scum. If the eye received suitable moisture morning and night, it would never sink, blood streaks and scum would be un- known to the beautiful plant, the eye; the ball would ever keep clear and lus- trous, the sight would be transparent. When the eyes are neglected, the en- tire machinery of the face becomes dis- torted, even the countenance looks like that of a different being. How true, "the light of the body is the eye." Few know that it is as necessary to give the eye moisture as any plant of the field. 26 MRS. M. G. BROWN'S Those who begin in after life to pass moisture into their eyes, may compare it to cleaning a well. Certainly they will stir up the mortar, the gathering of years; causing, perhaps, a feeling of sand in the eyes for a few days, while the Eye Water is dissolving the mortar and carrying it off. Some eyes look red for a few moments after bathing them with the eye water; from others it causes hot water to flow, and again, some to itch and smart for a little while. All these effects last but a short time, they tell their own story— namely, that the root of disease has been attacked. All language fails to make known the salutary effects upon the entire mental and physical machinery arising from giving the eyes a drink of Poor Richard's Eye Water, morning and night, also the fearful consequence, of neglecting so to do from the cradle to the grave. ONE CASE ILLUSTRATING THIS POINT. A gentleman ninety-five years old, re- siding in the city of Philadelphia, lived opposite my father's house before I was born, and throughout the period of my childhood and youth, his family and ours were on terms of intimate acquaintance. After many years of changes in this changing world, I met him in Philadel- phia engaged in active business, and looking fresh and fair. I said to him one day, " Mr. M. will you please tell me in what department your manner of life differed from that of your cotemporaries 1 they are all dead and gone, some forty years; many of them more likely, ap- parently, to live longer than you; con- sequently it strikes me, you must have done something to preserve life, which they did not?" His answer was: "I think I differed from them but in one point, and that was, I lubricated my eyes every day with a particular moisture recommended by a friend in early life. I replied, "this habit has preserved and lengthened your life." His skin was clear and fine, his cheeks ruddy, and his eyes large, and remarkable for brilliancy JfO. 2.--THE EAR PREPARATION. The Ear Preparation should be used very freely the first month, or first six months. Generally no pain is experi- enced while it is doing its work; some- times there is pain, caused by the dissolv- ing and carrying off of the improper secretions which usually pass away en- tirely through the lower channels.. It is a sure sign that the root is being disturbed. When you strike a match, light ensues. The hearing will come and go while the obstructions are being dissolved and ex- pelled from the system, until they are all gone, when the hearing will be fully re- stored, and the whole body enter into new life, in due time. During this pro- cess, the hearing is sometimes, but rarely, obstructed, and those deaf already, ren- dered more so, which is simply the result of the passages being temporarily block- aded, while the improper secretions are being carried off. Sometimes pain springs from the Preparation coming in contact with the mucous matter imbedded in the flesh, causing it to swell as does the earth when moisture is applied, and for a time almost close the passages. Again, pain is some- times produced while ventilation and circulation are returning, bringing life to the paralyzed glands and nerves. B^T" The great majority of people ex- perience no pain whatever, while using the Ear Preparation. These remarks are merely made for those who may feel pain, lest in any wise they should be alarmed, or abandon the preparation The above symptoms are favorable, and prove that the Discovery is working well. To use but a little of the Ear Preparation might cause pain, when an abundant supply would not. The Ear Preparation may be compared to knowl edge— " A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE. IS A DANGEROUS THING." Preparation Number 2 is not danger- ous, but a little may give more trouble than benefit or pleasure. You may com- pare this to Gospel intelligence ; a little troubles the sinner, but drinking deeply from the wells of salvation, gives life and joy forever more. A servant who sweeps the front stair- METAPHYSICA case down and leav«e the dust at the foot of the stairs, had better not have swept at all, than not swept the dust entirely away. So a little of the Discovery but Stirs the foul matter; plenty is required to carry it off. It should be used copi- ously at first (except by very delicate persons, but even the majority of these can use it freely also), and if pain follows and remains, then discontinue the Ear Preparation, (not the Eye and Scalp) till it subsides, and begin again. Whenever acute pain is felt, it usually results from using No. 2 too sparingly, as a general thing; but a cool, delightful feeling is experienced by all who use it. Understand, it could not harm, nor could it be used too freely, except where per- sons are very weak. It would be good for many did they pass a bottle full into their ears, in one or two days. Some are much longer in getting their hearing than others, as there is more to be done in some systems than others; and the hearing is often the last thing put right. The state of the mind has much to do with the progress of the cure. AS ONE EXPRESSED IT (on whom the Discovery performed a wonderful and unexpected cure—getting it for Catarrh, it not only cured Catarrh, but brought life to a limb that had been paralyzed for years): " The Metaphy- sical Discovery is a searcher, and if a person is-out of health, and unable to define their feelings, it will travel through their system and put it all in order." Many who are deaf, think there is nothing wrong, only in the ear; there- fore they wonder why they should be compelled to use the Number 1 and Number 2; they say there is nothing wrong with their eyes or scalp. To such I would say, your mouth requires no food, yet you must pass through it to the stomach; in like manner you must pass through the eyes, ears, and scalp, to radi- cally remove any disease from the human body; in no other way can it be done. Some people are in a great hurry to get their hearing; they are not willing to wait till the cause is removed, they want i to hear at once, little knowing that for I DISCOVERY. 27 want of circulation, their flesh has become three-quarters or half dead • and the large majority of deaf persons are deaf through dead flesh. Now I would say to such, if you do not already know how long it takes to restore a dead field to life (which is of the same nature, and illustrates the condition of your body); go and ask a practical farmer; this knowledge will certainly prove a stimulus to patience and perseverance. By understanding these unchanging laws, you will recover your hearing, renew your mental and physical constitution; thus a new life is extended to you, in the use of my Meta- physical Discovery. It is impossible to tell how soon the hearing will come. Numbers have had it restored by the use of but one box of the Metaphysical Discovery, who have been deaf thirty and forty years. Still, the great majority require more, and some rare cases are obliged to wait an indefin- ite period. Mr. John Newcomb, of Quincy, Mass., who was deaf twenty years (certificate given in this Pamphlet) recovered his hearing in less than four weeks—before he had used one box of the Discovery, but did not think it fully restored till some time after. Through the use of the Discovery, his entire con- stitution was renewed. Dr. Boardman (whose certificate is also given) used the Discovery eighteen months before regaining his hearing, and remarked to me, "People should will- ingly wait two or three years, if necessary for such a boon as their hearing." The hearing will positively come by patient perseverance, the obstructions all being removed, the avenues of the head built up again, ventilation and circula- tion being fully restored. NO. 3.--THE SCALP RENOVATOR penetrates through the Scalp (filling the Reservoir underlying it, from which fountain the whole system is supplied with moisture), causing the unnatural heat to evaporate, imparting a cool, re- freshing feeling to the head; it is also an effectual co-laborer with Number 1 and Number 2, in removing obstructions from the head and trunk, and will regulate 28 MRS. M. G. BROWNS the most constipated bowels. Many, severely constipated for years, have laughed outright on hearing this, won- dering what connection the scalp could have with the body, who, nevertheless, proved it even so after a trial of but two or three days. They used the three parts of the Discovery, but attributed the reg- ularity of their bowels to the Renovator, as if it was omitted they would not be regular. It removes all Dandruff, keeping the scalp beautifully clean. Wens and Warts disappear before it. A new scalp is given, bringing forth Thick, Healthy Hair. Gray hair is gradually restored to its original color; just as the scalp begins to live, so does the hair. There is no Sulphur or Sugar of Lead in the Renovator, nothing but that which imparts life and vigor to the entire system. If used on infants and children in con- nection with Number 1 and Number 2, the effect would be—as gentle showers on thirsty plants. The Metaphysical Discovery will do more for body and mind than could be described ; but to use it effectually it is necessary to follow the directions speci- fied, faithfully, perseveringly, without fear or anxiety, and in the exercise of the Talents of Observation, Meditation, An- alyzation and Comparison. CHAPTER XV. TEACHING UPON TEACHING. ^TT HE sixth chapter of Deut. leaves an $tls^ injunction upon all parents to be diligent in the instruction of their children in the Commandments of God. God gave the Command to fathers and mothers, through His servant Moses—saying, " Thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them on the posts of thy house, and on thy gates." DO NOT WONDER. if x repeat some things over and over in this Pamphlet. We must conclude from the above, that it is necessary to impress the mind again and again with truth. The kingdom of truth " suffers violewe," and the violent must take it, push it, and force it on a benighted and stupid world, who are "perishing for lack of knowledge." Persons become frightened, if they experience pain, dizziness, noises in the head, or become slightly deaf while the process of expelling the root and branches of disease is in progress, and attribute these unpleasant results to my Discovery; which is a great mistake, the Discovery itself giving no pain whatever. Allow me to give an illustration, which 1 trust will do good in more ways than one. When a sinner is awakened by the Holy Spirit to see his condition measur- ably, as God sees it, what shooting pain he experiences ! The spirit of the Devil within does not mean to yield his claim : as light shines upon the sin-benighted soul, showing its pollution and guilt, its awful condition if finally " out of Christ," what anguish, what agony is expe rienced ! It is not the Holy Spirit who creates the pain ; light enters, when opposition begins from the monster within. These mental, heart experiences, are the portion more or less of all who learn the way, and use the offered means of happy escape from the Kingdom of Sa tan to the Kingdom of Christ. Some pass into the Kingdom of Grace with little or no pain ; others have a great deal. Understanding and faith make it easy; but how little of either the people have 1 Want of knowledge makes anything hard. How terrible to be the slaves of ignorance! The prcper way to use the Discovery is to apply it freely, very freely—say one I box in two weeks, or less than two METAPHYSICAL DISCOVERY. 29 weeks, till disease is mastered. Do not be afraid of using any part of the Dis- covery too freely; the more of each used the better. When a fire is raging, numerous en- gines pour on water in streams; when the flames decrease and die out, they gradu- ally disappear, till but one or two engines are left. In using the Discovery, good judgment, common sense, must be in exercise. Do not be afraid of the Discovery, it cannot harm; use it fearlessly, plenti- fully, without anxiety, impatience, or doubt. Do not listen to any who speak against it; they are not wise friends, lacking knowledge. WISDOM OF CHILDREN. It should be used also on children of all ages (from a day old) in the same copious manner, more or less freely, as occasion may require. Children, if talked to and reasoned with, as they should be, would startle the world with their stock of intelligence. Begin to talk to them as unto wise, respon- sible beings,—fill their minds with wheat, not with chaff: wheat is the heaviest and will remain; while chaff is driven before the wind. Teach them the Laws of your Kitchen Range. Explain to them how the flues must be kept clear, to give free course to the draft—that upon this the heat of the oven, well cooked dinners, bread and biscuits, depend. Tell them how God gives Dew, works with the Farmer, and sends Rain, Frost and Snow, that abun- dant crops and varied delicious fruits may be yielded for every creature. Point out to them the fields transformed into a Sea of Glory, through moisture of a three-fold character ; Teach them to go and do likewise with their bodies, which are of the earth. Speak to them of machines, great and small, by which so much is accomplished, from the huge locomotive to the lady's sewing machine, and yet not one of them could work one week without lubrication. This is the way to develop the talents of your children, to expand their Intel- lectual*powers. Among their first lessons, should be the laws of their mental and physical machinery. Learn well and understand the object, mission and theory of the Metaphysical Discovery; then explain and illustrate it freely, as above, to your entire house- hold; thus will you be a missionary in the most favored, the most fertile spot on earth. Your little ones will gladly and soon acquire the art of applying the Discov- ery to themselves, as the cure and preven- tion of all disease. Thus will they be their own physicians through life, as every man and woman ought to be, and must be. CHAPTER XVI. REMARKABLE CASE OF TWO GENTLEMEN. §| GENTLEMAN from Nashville, J^Hp Tennessee, came under my treat- ment for the cure of the following dis- eases . Confirmed Deafnass of some years standing; Total Blindness in one eye, partially so the other; entire loss of taste and smell; paralysis of under jaw. He had had an Apoplectic fit, and fully ex- pected a second one would terminate his existence. 1 told him my Discovery would in due time remove all his mala- dies, and add many years to his life. It is now over a year since he began to use my Discovery ; the results are, the sight of the blind eye is fully restored, and the sight of the other better than 'it was twenty-five years ago ; his Taste and Smell are restored; his Under Jaw is free from Paralysis. He can now con- verse freely; his Deafness is nearly re- stored; some days he can hear the clock tick quite a distance off; other days his hearing is not so good, the cause of this is owing to the flesh being partially dead, through poor circulation; when the latter is restored, his hearing will come again as usual. His Hair has been peculiarly white for forty years. It is remarkable to perceive so white a head of hair be- coming brown by degrees, its own natural color. 30 MRS. G. M. BROWN S This gentleman's constitution is being renewed by the faithful and free use of my Metaphysical Discovery. ANOTHER GENTLEMAN, a merchant in State Street, New York, was Stone Deaf for six years, w ith a very bad Catarrh. He was obliged to Muffle in Summer, being very susceptible to Cold. He tried many Aurists of note, but to no purpose. In the use of my Metaphysical Discovery he regained his perfect hearing, " every vestige of his Deafness and Catarrh disappeared." He now enjoys excellent health. THE BODY A MIGHTY WHOLE, DERIV- ING ITS LIFE FROM THE HEAD " The body is one, and all the mem- bers of that one body being many, are one body. " For the body is not one member, but many." God hath set the members every one of them in the body as it hath pleased Him. " If they then were all one member, where were the body." "But now are they many members, yet but one body." " There should be no schism in the body, whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honored, all the members rejoice with it."—1st Cor. 12th chap. " But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body, fitly joined together, ajid com parted by that which every joint suppli- eth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh in- crease of the body unto the edifying of itself in love."—Eps. iv. 16. Christ being the Head of the Church, the Church, which is the body, derives spiritual life from Christ, the Head; in like manner must the body derive its life from the head. This life is in the salt moisture, which the head must supply, or the body die. The Salt Fountain in the head cannot pass through the body without the co- operation of each individuaL People suppose that Nature supplies all that is necessary; if the Farmer should act on the same principle, the world would be as scarce of food, as it now is of strong, healthy constitutions. If you want to be free from disease, and your life lengthen- ed to an indefinite period, you must keep your head ventilated. This should be done from the cradle to the grave, and children taught it as their first lesson. TO PEOPLE IN SEARCH OF PURE, RICH BLOOD--WHERE TO FIND IT. If you drop a gold dollar out of your pocket, it is not here and there, it is in one spot, and one spot only. You may search a life time, but if you fail to dis- cover the spot, you will never find the dol- lar. On the same principle there is but one law to secure rich, pure blood, and the demands of that law are met only in the preservation of the flesh. If the flesh is unsound, the blood must be impure; flesh and blood live in and through each oth- er ; if one is unsound, the other is impure. God has appointed to each their own natural food, and no other food will answer, each must have its own. (These pages unfold that food.) The wisdom which made the law, made it to live while sun and moon endure. Neglect of the law terminates in disease and death. All who would1 have pure blood must ever remember that the blood is depend- ent on the flesh for its purity and rich- ness, and that the flesh is dependent on the Salt Fountain located under the Scalp. The Running of the Salt Foun- tain depends on the ventilation of the machinery of the head, through Eyes, Ears, and Scalp ; and the ventilation of the head depends on your being a co- la- borer with God in supplying the three moistures with your own hand. If you could not supply it, God would; but be- cause you can, He will not. As God is a co-laborer with man in keeping the earth in life, man must be a co-laborer with God in the preservation of the life and health of the body; end [ just as soon as the race wakes up to this METAPHYSICAL DISCOVERY. 31 undying truth, and comes up to the help of the Lord against the mighty, in the care and culture of the body, by supply- ing moisture of a three-fold character (same as Deity supplies to the earth, and the body is of the earth), when these fixed laws are attended to, the blood will be rich and pure, because the flesh will be smtaincd, and in a living healthy condition to meet the demands of the blood. This is the law by which pure blood can be found and retained in the system. There is no other law. You may search for pure rich blood among all the Balsams and Tonics of the age, such as Sarsaparillas, Preparations of Iron, Syrups, Bitters, and the whole category of poisons, in which, together with going from clime to clime, millions are spent annually in search of pure rich blood, but in vain. After all your seeking, you will be like the man who sought every- where but the right place for the gold dollar; he sought, but found not. He had his pains for his labor. Your loss is much greater. You have failed to find the pure blood, lost your time and your money; and whether you are aware of it or not, you are constitu- tionally injured. All machinery is in- jured, if not handled according to its own laws. SEA SICKNESS. My Metaphysical Discovery is indis- pensable at Sea to all who desire to avoid Sea Sichiess, and at the same time rid their system of mucus matter. Sea air, with the rolling of the ship, moves the foul secretions, when nausea, or what all dread so much, Sea-Sickness, is produced. The matter thus disturbed only sick- ens for a Avhile, and then settles down in the flesh, to prevent circulation, and come forth again in another and more fatal form. The use of the Metaphysical Discovery before going and while at Sea, carries the mucous matter out of the system, through the lower channels. In the ab- sence of the Metaphysical Discovery, the mucous, which causes all Sea-Sickness, cannot be expelled. CHAPTER XvTI. TO YOUNG MEN SEEKING RECUPERATION. ^Jfl T is unpleasant for me to call the at- (^*5 tention of men suffering from indis- cretions ; but a feeling of sorrow and sym- pathy in their behalf compels me to do so—knowing as I do, that there are igno- rant designing quacks by the thousand, who not only extort large sums of money from the unfortunate, but positively kill them by a long course of drugging, draining out the last drop of blood from their bodies, and with many the last dol- lar from their pockets. Let one case serve as an illustration of many whose lives have been saved by my Metaphysi- cal Discovery. A young man called at my office with one of my circulars in bis hand; he asked me if I thought my Metaphysical Discovery would reach his case; he had been diseased for twenty years, had spent a large amount of money with physicians. Electricity had been his last resort. He told me he had fre- quently entertained the thought of com- mitting suicide, as he could not get well. He was quite bald, with a thick growth of warts on his scalp ; his teeth were de- serted by the gums; his eyes were sunk; his skin dead and withered. He suffered much from Indigestion and Constipation. The young man appeared to me, as ex- pressed by liimself, an object for commis- eration. I assured him my Metaphysical Discovery would cure him, and give him a new constitution. Suffice it to say, in a few weeks the icarts were gone; hair came forth on the bald scalp; his eyes began to rise, get clear and strong; his gums to go back to the teeth; his appe- tite, digestion, etc., rapidly improving. It is eighteen months since he began to use my Metaphysical Discovery. I met him a few days since, and had I not known him would have taken him for an Englishman; having a fine head of hair, red cheeks, and healthful appearance. 82 MRS. M. G. As 1 said to the young man, I confident- ! ly say to all who sutler from the same d'.sease, that my Metaphysical Discovery h the only safe, quick, and certain cure iov them. In the first place, it will cost you comparatively nothing. Secondly, you save youi time running after and exposing yourself to men who are only experimenting on you, thereby under- mining your constitution. Test my Met- aphysical Discovery quietly in your own room; observe its workings through your entire constitution, cleansing and carrying oft all poisons through the lower channels. It has never failed ; it cannot fail. It is the only safe and certain anti- dote for all 3uch diseases. Medicines taken through the mouth, wreck the con- stitution and scatters disease through the body. the prevention of disease. There is no radical preventive against any species of disease, but in the Meth- odical use of the Metaphysical Discovery. It cures the body and delivers it from disease. Hut I say to all, that the pre- vention is better than the cure. Franklin wisely said, " An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure." It will be a tremendous advance when the people use the prevention instead of the cure. This will be true wisdom. The whole face of society will change ; one law will effect another law, and so on, until a general revolution upward will take place. When the people see the value of the preventive as disclosed in this pamphlet, and act on the principles laid down, disease will disappear. AH infan- tile diseases will be cut off. The terri- ble sufferings of children shall die, and be feared no more. Bald heads, blanched hair, and diseased scalps will be no more. Extracting teeth will be among the things that were in the dark ages. God no more intended the teeth to be ex- tracted than the arm to be cut off; or the hair to fall off, than the head to fall off. No wonder the Saviour exclaimed, when seeing the diseased around him, "Oh, righteous Father, the world hath not known Thee!" brown's RUINOU0 EFFECTS OF LOTIONS, POWDERS, 4 ETC. Language fails to point out the evils which accumulate through rubbing Lo- tions, Powders, Pain Paint, or any mix- ture whatsover on the face, neck, hands, or any other part of the body. You ask me__why ? I answer you logically—and trust you will be able to receive my as- sertion on common-sense principles. The Pimples, Blotches, &c., on your face, also other diseases, result from your flesh not being cared for as this pampldet describes. Your attempts to remove them by rubbing Lotions on the face, Pain Paints or Liniments on the body, positively close up the pores of the skin, and reverses the laws fixed by the wisdom of God for the preservation of your general health. Diseases may disappear, hid away in your system even for years—but to come forth again with renewed strength through the merest incident. I might write a volume on the terrible consequences of Lotions, Powders, and Paints; but will only say, if you have not used your common sense on such things, begin to-day. DISEASED EYES. I would say to all who have Sunken Eyes, be not ignorant of the fact that such a state of the eyes is the precursor of death. Send for poor Richard's Eye Water at once. To the blind I would say, that in many instances I have cured cases of blindness where the most eminent Phy- sicians in America and Europe have failed. I say from observation and a knoAvb edge of the laws of the Eyes, that my treatment of the Eye stands first in the world. WITH REGARD TO FOOD AND EXERCISE, two things arc necessary to bo under- stood by all who are in a weak, dilapid- ated state, and who expect to be restored by my Metaphysical Discovery ; that is, that they do not exhaust what little strength they have, in labor for which METAPHYSICAL DISCOVERY. 33 they are wholly unfit; also, that they eat nourishing food, such as Wheaten Grits, well boiled with new milk ; fresh eggs, and good Sirloin-steak, done under the fire or before, basted well with its own gravy occasionally. A chicken dis jointed (the skin taken off,) and boiled down to about a pint; three table-spoons full of fine barley, bursted in a separate saucepan, and strained through a fine seive, then boiled ten minutes with the Chicken broth, add a little salt. This will be found very strengthening and a pleasant change. In the season, eat all the good things you can get. The office of my Metaphysical Discovery is to re- move the cause of disease. The human hand and nature must accomplish the rest. Much bodily or mental exercise (while circulation is impeded) is danger- ous, often terminating life suddenly. CHAPTER xvrn. A Missionary Lady Saved from Death by Strangulation or Starvation. womb complaint, commenced under her arm. The physi- cian assured her it was but the result of a slight cold, and gave her a preparation to paint it, saying it would disappear when she got out on sea; but to her great sorrow it remained stationary about a year, when it became quite painful, and rapidly increased in size. A consultation of surgeons and physi- cians (attached to naval vessels then stopping at the port where she and her husband were stationed) was held, who pronounced it a tumour, saying "it should be removed at once, as by delay it would become cancerous, and might prove fatal; even by removal, she had but one chance in a thousand for her life." The lady being very courageous and having faith in the strength of her con- stitution, decided to undergo the opera- tion rather than meet death by cancer. After the operation she was confined to bed several months. On her con- valescence, she observed a contraction in her throat, and in a few weeks found it difficult to swallow anything but liquids. She again embarked homeward, feeling if she did not find relief, she must event- ually choke or starve to death. On arriving in America, she con- sulted the first physicians for this throat contraction. Two of them treated her for the disease, and one utterly refused, saying he could not help her, as the con- traction was one of the entire nervous system, and incurable. One of the physicians gave her a dose which in a few days changed the color of her skin to a light brown—had it not been for her remarkable constitution, she must have died under it. Fully a year passed before she recovered the dire ef- fects of that monstrous poisonous dose. Providentially, my Metaphysical Dis- covery was just stepping forth on its great mission, and she was the first happy patient upon whom I tested the force of its principles; the result was that all contraction vanished, and new life en- i tered every Avenue of her system. That same year she gained thirty-six pounds of flesh, and the following year gave (CjLO prevalent among all classes and ^f8^ ages of women, is an effect of a cause. Thousands of lovely wives and mothers have suffered martyrdom through it. Many have been tortured even urto death with inhuman instru- ments. Permit me to illustrate my assertions by two cases out of many. One, of a missionary lady in a foreign land, who returned from her field of labor, suffering intensely from womb disease, placed herself under the care of a prominent physician, who made treat- ment of the womb a specialty. He pro- nounced her disease Catarrh on the inner cavity of the womb. She was six months under treatment of the most severe, and I must say, bar- barous character After working all this time on effects, the physician pro- nounced his patient as cured. While the lady was preparing to re- turn to her field of labor, a swelling 34 MRS. M. G. BROWNS birth to her first-born, after nine years of wedded life. It is four years since this great change took place, I have corresponded with her regularly, and never heard the first complaint of disease. I impressed upon her as I do on all (he necessity of occasionally using the Metaphysical Discovery through life. I would here remark that the Tumour was the Womb Complaint, which her physician attempted to remove, but only sent to her arm in the shape of a tumour; and the tumour when taken away, caused the same disease to appear in her throat, and the throat contraction would certainly have ended life, had not the Metaphysical Discovery, by the mercy of God, come to her relief. It stretched out to her while in the jaws of death, the sceptre of life. She tested its healing power, and lived. Within the past year, this lady has presented, through her labors, four Chinese men and one woman, accepted candidates for baptism and enrollment in the Church Militant. Thus a valu- able life has been saved for the Church and the world, through my Metaphysical Discovery. CALAMITOUS DEATH OF A MISSIONARY OF THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH TO CHINA. I would further state that a mission- ary in the same field, one of the dearest friends of the above lady, and distin- guished for superior intelligence and zeal In the cause of Christ, was prostrated for months, and finally died, through "harsh medicine" poured down the throat. Cut off in the midst of ardent desires and peculiar qualifications for usefulness—by the administration of drugs, through the mouth. Read her own words :— EXTRACTS FROM HER LIFE SINCE PUB- LISHED. "January, 1862. "The trial of relinquishing my cher- ished plans of labor in China, for the present, has been sharpened by the knowledge that it was the heedlessness of a physician in administering ' harsh medicine,' that has prostrated me. I was ailing; but his medicines, as by a spell, withered up my strength and laid me by, useless, helpless, and suffering. I would like to leave it as a dying advice,' Beware of drugs.'"—Page 344. ****** " May, 1862. " The week before Christmas the Doc- tor complimented me on looking so well. But I was not well, and asked him for some medicine. I took it four days, and then took my bed; and here I am still. "If I die, it might with truth be said of me, sick of diarrhoea, died of Mur- iatic."—Page 356. * * * * From this dose she never recovered—her monument stands in Greenwood. What a loss to the church, what a loss to the world, the death of the sainted, the angelic, Mrs. Caroline P. Keith; a greater luminary or more remarkable woman, never left the New England shores for a heathen land. I urge upon all to read the memoir of this gifted missionary, whose comprehen- sive mind and well cultivated talents, shine forth in every page, carrying in- struction and inspiration to the hungry soul. It is published by D. Appleton & Co., New York. THE SECOND CASE. A lady from Boston, Mass., who suffer- ed womb disease for thirteen years : sub- jecting herself to any and every kind of treatment imposed on her by those who treat effects only. The consequence was, that she kept sinking year after year, till the disease became alarming. She frequently told her physician that she " felt worms crawling all over her;" he replied it was nervousness, not worms. With an emaciated body and her special disease, in its worst stages, she came to my office, procured the Metaphysical Discovery, and used it faithfully—the re- sult being, her womb disease, which was of a peculiar and distressing character felt the all-healing power of my Discov- ery. The womb being out of place, she METAPHYSICAL DISCOVERY. 35 felt in a few days as if "it had been lifted into its place." Every application told, and told wonderfully. Her disease disappeared, like dew before the morning sun. Strange to say, that the worms she had so long suspected as being in her flesh, came out through the skin, and crawled about! Thousands of black- headed worms passed from her system ! This lady's case, if fully explained, would be one of the most remarkable on record, and her deliverance from terrible diseases and intense sufferings, of thirteen years' standing, illustrates the great and only cure for disease, found in the Metaphysical Discovery, destroying alike both root and branch; as the branch which is the disease, cannot live when the root is destroyed.

CHAPTER XIX. Dr. J. C. Boardmans Cure of confirmed Deafness. Attested by the Mayor of Trenton. Trenton, N. J., April 13, 1867. To whom it may concern : I hereby cer- tify, that for many years I suffered from im- paired hearing, and for some time was almost stone deaf. But, under God's most beautifal providence, I am cured by the use of Mrs. M. G. Brown's Metaphysical Discovery, which I have been using about two years. Her treat- ment is a Desideratum ; a thing long sought, much desired; in the art of medicine, aud is truly Sui Generis (by itself, distinct from others). J. C. BOARDMAN, M. D. City of Trenton : I do hereby certify that I have known Dr J. C. Boardman as a practising physician in this city. His reputation as a physician is good, and his character as a man unexceptionable. My acquaintance with him extends back as far as twenty year3, during the whole of which time he has resided among us. Witness my hand, this 13th day of April 1867. Franklin S. Mills, Mayor. Extract from Dr. Boardmans Letter which accompanied his Certificate. " My extreme deafness, and my decided cure, has excited much remark in this section of country where I am so well known. It is con- sidered surprising, because confirmed deafness is generally considered incurable. I have searched throughout the wide domain of the art of medicine for a safe, reliable, success- ful treatment of confirmed deafuess. I found none until I met with your Metaphysical Dis- covery. Allopathic and Homoepathic prac- tice, and Eclecticism, in all its varieties, failed to furnish what is found in your Discovery. God has sent this blessing to all the earth through your instrumentality. You must in- spire taith in all minds, dispense it largely, and thus fulfill ihe destiny God has appointed you." j^- Dr. Boardman suffered from Deafness for twenty-two years. He had also many other diseases, which baffled medical skill, some of winch were Costiveness (not having had a passage in twenty years without pills), Dyspepsia in a violent form, and Nervousness which prevented his riding in a carriage for fourteen years. He assured me he could not have lived a year longer had he not found relief from disease in my Metaphysical Dis- covery. Dr. Boardrnan's housekeeper informed me that large Wens disappeared from her head in the use of my Metaphysical Discovery. Her sister had previously undergone an operation of the removal of Wens from her head by the knife. Remarkable Cure of Deafness after twenty years' standing. October 5th, 1867. I, John A. Newcomb, of Quincy, Mass., do certify, that I have been entirely deaf in my leit ear for twenty years, and for the past six 36 MRS. M. G. BROWN S in my right, so that I could not hear conver- sation or public speaking ot any kin 1, or even the church bell while sitting in church. My Lead troubled me greatly, felt numb and stu- p'.d, had terr.ble noises, almost to distraction. My throat was also affected for a number of years : losing my voice entirely, 1 was obliged to give up siDging in church. I tried almost every remedy, went to differ- ent physicians and aurists, but to no purpose. About a month since, I obtained Mr3. M. G. Brown's Metaphysical Discovery, and the re- sult is, the hearing of both ears is perfectly restored—I can hear as well as any man. The trouble and noises in my head are gone ; my throat is entirely cured, and I have recovered my voice. $®~ Mr. Newcomb continued using the Dis- covery, and months after said, '' I am indeed a new man, and the wealth of Quincy could not induce me to go back where the Metaphysi- cal DiscoveryJound me." ■ Wonderful Cure of Deafness. April, 1864. I, Mrs. Mary Todd, of Wildey street, be- tween Cherry and Palmer streets, Kensington, Philadelphia, Pa., do certify, that I obtained from Mrs. M. G. Brown, about a month since, her Metaphysical Discovery for Deafness, Noises in the Head, etc., etc., and applied it to my father, Richard Beckworth, who had been deaf in both ears for thirty years, so much so that he could hear no conversation ; he could not hear his watch tick. He has now, by the faithful use of the Metaphysical Discovery, recovered his perfect hearing, has no trouble, being perfectly cured, and is at work in the Navy Yard. Deafness of Over Thirty Years' Standing. Philadelphia, July 25, 1867. This is to certify that I have been very deaf from childhood. I inherited deafness, as my father was deaf all his life. Four years since I procured Mr3. M. G. Brown's Metaphysical Discovery, and in the use of it recovered my hearing. I have found in the Discovery a perfect cure for confirmed and inherited deafness. Isaac P. Williamson. 121 Beck's Place, off 2d St., above Christian. New York, October, 1863. I, Mr3. E. Russell, now of Gales, N. Y., am using Mrs. M. G. Brown's Motaphysical Dis- covery for Catarrh, from which I have suffered for many years. I fiud the catarrh fast disap- pearing, and at the same time it has restored to me the full use of one of my arms, of which I had lost the entire use for fourteen years. October, 1863. I, Miss Elizabeth Russell, of 239 East 30th street, New York, do certify, that I have had chronic Bore eyes from measles for twenty years, with a bad catarrh and cough, and was a martyr to neuralgia, of the most painful kind, for seven years. In this condition, I called on Mrs. M. G. Brown, and procured her Metaphysical Discovery, and the result is my eyes are entirely restored. The cough, catarrh and neuralgia are gone. If these were the days of miracles. 1 would not hesitate to say the Metaphysical Discovery had performed a miracle upon me. Cure of Deafness. Snapp's Station, November 20, 1865. Mr3. M. G. Brown : Madam,—I noticed an advertisement in a newspaper of your Metaphysical Discovery. I sent for a package of the medicine. I write to tell you it has proved a perfect success in a case of deafness of many years' standing. Now I send to you for three packages for my neigh- bors, who are afflicted in the same way. Yours respectfully, C. S. Coates, Snapp's Station, Crawford Co., Pa. Deafness of Twenty Years' Standing. Portland, Me., Nov. 27, 1864. To the Public : It is well known to many of the citizens of Portland that I have been cieaf from child- hood. By the recommendation of friends, I was induced to call upon Mrs. M. G. Brown, and while I had not a particle of confidence in her ability to relieve me, I concluded to go under her treatment. Having done so, I am sure no amount of money could pay me tor the benefit received. As a proof I will s.ate that, for the first time in twenty years, I last night heard my watch ticking when it was hung up some six feet from me. My head ha3 been a source of annoyance through constant pain in the back part, passing to the front, with continued noise, feeling lexvy aad dull. I am now relieved of all this, and feel I enter a new life. Grateful for my great deliverance. I commend Mrs. M. G. Brown and her suc- cessful mode of treatment to all who are afflicted as I have been. A, L. Osgood. Cases of Deafness, etc. April, 1864. A son of Captain David Ware, in Wilming- ton, Delaware, has been cured of Deafness and Running of the Ears of fiucen years' standing. Spent large sums of money for different remedies, but tin ling no b mefit, came under my treatment and was perfectly cured. METAPHYSICAL discovery 37 July 25th, 1866. Mrs. M. G. Brown : Dear Madam,—L am happy to say that in all cases where your Metaphysical Discovery has been used according to directions, it has effected wonderful cures of Deafness of long standing. Wishing you every success in your philanthropic enterprise, I remain, your obedient servant, Abner Cony. Hillier, Prince Edward Co., Canada West. Remarkable Cure of Deafness, Dizziness, and Noises in the Head, sworn to. Oxford, Pa., March, 1866. Mrs. M. G. Brown :—Madame,—I have got entirely well, and, under God, owe it to you. My right ear I have not heard any with for a number of years. I can now hear with it. My !eft ear, the hearing left it just after harvest, this way : I took a dizziness in my head, so I could not work, accompanied with a ringing noise in my ears. I was so bad that I could not hear without they halloed at the top of their voice. I went to Philadelphia, put my- self under the care of a celebrated aurist ; he bored my ears with instruments, ran others up my nostrils, for five weeks, and ended by cheating me out of seven'.y-five dollars. I then saw one of your advertisements ; I got the Metaphysical Discovery, and have recov- ered my hearing, which I had lost for years. Thos. Dickey, Oxford, Chester Co., Pa. Affirmed and subscribed to before me, this 31st day of March, A. D. 1865, William T. Fulton, Justice of the Peace. Cure of Deafness. Miss Roberts, of 2141 Arch street, Philadel- phia, Pa., came to me, five years since, weak in constitution and very deaf—had been deli- cate since childhood. The tamily physician had discouraged her as to regaining her hear- ing, assuring her that the drum was perfora- ted, and it would be useless to attempt a cure. I begged her to test my Discovery, which she did. The Deafness was not removed, but rather increased while using the first box ; but I per- suaded her to continue the treatment, in face of every discouraging symptom. Miss R. complied with my wishes : she gained the vic- tory over Deafness, and now hears well. In addition to recovering her hearing, Miss Roberts assures me that since using the Meta- physical Discovery, she can walk five mi!e3 with greater ease than she could five streets, prior to its use. Miss Roberts considers it necessary to use the Discovery—as a preventive. A large number of such cases are to be found all over the land. CURES of BLINDNESS, Etc. Blind Sixty Years I August 1, 1867. This is to certify, that I, George Court, of No. 9 South High Street, West Chester, Pa., was struck with a stone in my eye sixty years ago, by which I lost the sight of that eye, and have been blind ever since. I obtained Mrs. M. G. Brown's Metaphysical Discovery the 29th of June, to cure Gravel and Deafness. 1 found the Discovery effectual iu curing both : it also restored the sight of my eye. My entire constitution has been renewed. I am ninety years of age. Cure of Miss Mahon. Philadelphia, July, 1863. I, John L. Mahon, of No. 1505 Pine Street. Philadelphia, Pa., have reason to thank God for calling my attention to a preparation made by Mrs. M. G. Brown, which, through the blessing of God, was the means of restoring my only daughter's eye to perfect soundness. But for it, I firmly believe she would have lost her eye, and, perhaps, her life, as the inflam- mation was spreading over her face, and causing great pain. She had lost her appe- tite. We tried various doctors and remedies, but her eye was still getting worse, and the doctor said he would have to operate and blister, but I did not consent. In thirty-six hours from the first application, the flesh that was growing over the eye-ball had disap- peared. I know not how to express my gratitude !to Mrs. M. G. Brown, and to God for directing me to her. Remarkable Cure. Philadelphia, July, 1863. I, Mrs. Cadwalader, of Taylor Street, two doors from Tenth, do certify, that for five years I have suffered intensely from a diseased eye, which atfected my nose, lips and mouth, also my arm and breast, causing me much trouble and producing lumps in my neck. 1 had a stoppage of the tear. I obtained Mrs. M. G. Brown's Metaphysical Discovery, and in the use of it my disease is entirely gone. Read William R. Dicker son, Esq.'s Cer- tificate. Philadelphia, March, 1864. Prof. M. G. Brown :—Madam,—It gives me pleasure to bear testimony to the excellency of Poor Richard's Eye Water. My eyes were in a diseased and dangerous condition—ev< ry remedy I applied failed to cure them. Poor 33 MRS. M. G. BROWN S Richard's Bye Water was providentially sent to me, and I unhesitatingly ascribe my speedy recovery to the use of your valuable prepara- tion. It is a safe Eye Water, remarkable for strengthening the sight and restoring the vision. W. R. Dickerson, Attorney at Law, 603 Walnut Street. Injured Eye Restored. Philadelphia, May, 1864. Mrs. Brown :—Dear Madam,—I am so thankful to God for directing me to Poor Richard's Eye Water, at a time when all hope was gone, as regards my restoration to sight. A stick had run in my eye. I had been blis- tered and leeched till I was almost blind, and staggering on my feet for want of both sight and strength. Having lost so much blood, Bome of the physicians told me I would lose my sight. But oh 1 how wonderful the change from the day I began to use Poor Richard's Eye Water. I think I could not have lived had I not found relief. Thank God, I was relieved at once. My eye got well, and my entire health is restored. la less than two weeks I was at my business again. I am so grateful for this recovery, that I gladly recom- mend it to all who suffer in any way with their eyes. James Davis, 2222 Locust Street. Crooked Eyes. Mrs. Bagley's Certificate, of 12 Leverett Street, Boston, Mass., Jan. 1864. This is to certify, that my little son, about a year old, was born with a bad catarrh and crooked eyes, and has ever had a cough from his birth. A few weeks since I obtained Mrs. M. G. Brown's Metaphysical Discovery, and have used it faithfully. My child's cough has left him entirely ; his catarrh is fast giviDg way, and his eyes are almost straight. His general health is very much benefited. He had little or no circulation before using the Discovery. He is now very bright and lively. What Mr. W. Wesley says. December, 1865. I, William Wesley, ofLodia, four miles from Newark, N. J., do certify, that I have been troubled with a diseased eye for five years. 1 was six months at two infirmaries in New York, and left worse than when I went. I then went under the first eye doctor in New- ark ; but found my eye was going so fast, con- cluded I would be blind, anugave them all up, till I saw Mrs. M. G. Brown's wonder ml cure3 in the paper, when 1 resolved to try once more. I procured the Metaphysieal Discovery, and now, after using it two weeks, I sit in Mrs. M. G. Brown's office a cured young man, over- joyed at my good fortune in the preservation of my eye. The second time I used the medi- cine I felt that the disease was giving, and that I had got the right medicine at last I this day bring another young man with me, that he may be cured also, and I recommend all who suffer not to triil3 five years, as I did, but go right at once to No.")51 Bond Street, and get rid of their disease. Cure of a Diseased Eye. March, 1864. This is to certify, that having been afflicted for several years with a disease in my left eye, or closing of the duct, I had almost consented to have an operation performed, when I was advi3ed by a friend to try a bottle of Poor Richard's Eye Water : I did so, and before I had u3ed one bottle round that my eye was perfectly cured. I have since recommended i t to several of my friends, who have all used it with equal success. Mrs. Louisa Briest, 326 Marriott Street, Philadelphia. Remarkable Cure of Weak Eyes. September, 1864. I, Mrs. Elizabeth Swasey, of 11 Acton Street, South Boston, Mass., do certify, that my eyes were we ik for S3veral years. Some months since, an abscess appeared on my right eye. One physician after another waa called in, and blistering, poulticing, and prob- ing were resorted to, without any success whatever, only that every day I was getting worse. The disease went to my face and left eye. I was in a very distressed and dangerous condition, when a friend advised me to try Mrs. M. G. Brown's Metaphysical Discovery. I did so, and have used it faithfully. From the flr3t application my eye3 began to get well, and are now free from disease, and gain- ing strength daily. I firmly believe I should have lost my sight altogether had I not pro- cured Mrs. M. G.'Brown's Metaphysical Dis- covery. Remarkable Cure—a Case of the Worst TyPe °f Chronic Sore Eyes of Twenty- five Years' Standing Cured. I, Eliza B. Jeffries, do certify, that I have been suffering for twenty-five years with dis- eased eyes, taken from measles when a child. I cannot describe the nature of all my suffer- ings. Large amounts of money were spent for a cure. All the doctors I applied to failed to render me relief. I had concluded to suffer on till I should die, but seeing in the papers accounts of wonderful cures performed by Mrs. Brown, I thought I might be cored. My METAPHYSICAL discovery. 39 friends laughed at me, and thought me foolish for thinking of being cured. Still I thought I would try, so procured the Metaphysical Discovery, and used it according to directions, and now thankfiillv declare to all who sutler, that, through the blessing of God and use of Mrs. M. G. Brown's medicine*, I am a cured woman. All my troubles, which were so of- fensive, are gone. My eyes also were so weak that I could not see to read at all. Now my eyes are clear and strong. I can sew the finest seam and read the finest pri.it. Since that time one of my daughters, who we thought dying in Diptheria, was saved by the Metaphysical Discovery. Eliza B. Jeffries, Holmesburg, Pa. Pterygium Removed without Instru- ments. This is to certify, that the subscriber was afflicted with inflammation of the eyes for many years, and of late was told by a cele- brated physician that it would be necessary to undergo a surgical operation, or become blind in a short time. But being fortunately ad- vised to procure a bottle of Poor Richard's Eye Water, and applying it according to direc- tions, was in two days relieved of the inflam- mation, and the Pterygium much lessened. Further, this preparation is superior to any other I have aver used, in the clean feeling it leaves in the eye after using. Felix Peckham, No. 57 Broad Street, Newport, R. J. August 16, 1860. Another letter received from Mr. Peckham, dated 2d of October, states the happy result of his entire recovery, and of his intention of continuing the use of the Eye Water twice a day hereafter. Cure of Weak Eyes, Lumps, fyc. November, 1862. I, W. H. Pritchard, of 159 French Street, Bangor, Me., do certify, that my wife, Esther S., has had weak eyes from childhood, caused by measles. One year since, a lump appeared upon one of her eyelids, and kept increasing in size. Becoming alarmed, we procured Mrs. M. G. Brown's Metaphysical Discovery, and in two hours after the first application the lump was gone. Her eyes are very much stronger. My wife has been subject to headache, when riding in a carriage ; now, when riding, she has no return of headache. Cure of Blindness. March, 1864. I, Hugh Cunningham, of South Andover, Mass., do certify, that I was made blind ihree years ago by wrong applications, and obliged to leave my work. By the use of Mrs. M. G Brown's Metaphys- ical Discovery, I am completely restored to sight, and at work again. From the Rev. P. S. Henson, Pastor of Broad Street Baptist Church, Pa. October 17, 1862. From injuries received in my right eye when a boy, a chronic inflammation had been pro- duced, in consequence of which I suffered martyrdom. Every moment of my waking life was embittered, and I was frequently un- able to sleep at night. A variety of remedies had been resorted to without success, and I entertained the pur- pose, as a last resort, of having the ball taken out of the socket, in the hope of thus finding relief. In the meanwhile, most providentially, I noticed one day in a shop window a bottle of Poor Richard's Eye Waler. 1 had never heard of it before, but determined to try it, and did, with the most delightful results. In a few days the painful irritation was removed. I could bear the strongest light, and went forth, as it were, to the enjoyment of a new life. I now keep a bottle of it always in the house, and if my eye seems at all disposed to annoy me, I give it a dose, and there is an end to it. I would not be without it for any amount of money. I have occasion to say, further, that my wife used to suffer severely at times from protracted pain in and over her eyes, and she has found Poor Richard's Eye Water a sove- reign specific in her case, giving her almost instant relief. Grateful to God for the benefit I have per- sonally received, I cannot but commend the preparation most cordially to those who have suffered like myself. P. S. Henson. CURES of CATARRH, Etc. Remarkable Cure of Catarrh, Cough, and General Debility. March, 1865. I, Mrs. Gardener Ewell, of No. 5 School St., Dorchester, Mass., have suffered from a com- plication of diseases for years. Catarrh and a bad cough had brought me almost to the grave; my eyes were also diseased: I had noises in my head, and was quite deaf in one ear; my appetite was also gone, and I could sleep but little. The medicines and remedies resorted to proved useless. Doctors could do nothing for me. I was dying! Most provi- dentially I was induced to obtain Mrs. M. G. Brown's Metaphysical Discovery, through which 1 am restored to health and strength. 40 MRS. M. C. PROWNS Catarrh of Thirty Years' Standing Cured. Mass., April, 1864. I, S. C. Chase, of Cambridgeport, do certify that I have been troubled with a bad catarrh for upwards of thirty years. I obtained Mrs. M. G. Brown's Metaphysical Discovery, and in ten minutes after using it found relief that I had never found before. I have used the med- icine faithfully, and believe it went to the root of my disease, and I feel as if catarrh was erad- icated from ray system, the foul efleets of the sad disease having ceased. My wife also has been suffering from a complication of diseases. On using the Discovery, clotted blood and matter rushed from her head, and she found immediate relief, and has been gaining in her general health ever since. Under those cir- cumstances, I heartily recommend the Meta- physical Discovery to all who suffer. I would not take one thousand dollars jor the benefit received through the Metaphysical Discovery. Deafness, Neuralgia, Catarrh, Dyspepsia, etc., Cured. Aaigust 31st, 1866. I, Mary Colgan, of No. 23 Clinton Street, Brooklyn, N. Y., do certify that since early childhood I have been very deaf, and also suf- fered greatly from Catarrh, Neuralgia, and Dyspepsia. I was afraid to go out alone lest I should be run over, not being able to hear the carts. My Catarrh was so bad as to almost suffocate me, and I suffered dreadfully from severe pain in the head. Physicians and rem- edies were resorted to in vain; p seemed 1 could not be cured, though most anxious and persevering. Most fortunately, through per- suasion of friends, beuetitted by Mrs. M. G. Brown's Metaphysical Discovery, I was in- duced to get it, and used it faithfully for six months, and now, to the astonishment of my- self and family, my diseases are broken Hp, and fast disappearing, after a life of suffering. ical Discovery has renovated the system. My catarrh, sore throat, and dyspepsia are gone, and 1 enioy good health. I have every reason to believe the Metaphysical Discovery saved my life—but for it I must have died. Catarrh, Ulcerated Sore Throat, etc. June, 1864. I, Mrs. Ellery, of Chelsea, Mass., do certify that I have been a great sufferer all my life from Catarrh and Scrofula of the worst kind. At the age of two years the disease began to assume a violent form. All my life it has kept me in bondage. I have had scores of ulcer- ated throats; I would have seven in a winter. I had great pain and dizziness in my head, with many other ailments. I obtained Mrs. M. G. Brown's Metaphysical Discovery, and have used it faithfully. The happy results are, that my Catarrh is gone, my dizziness and headache are gone. My throat, which always troubled me, is entirely cured. Catarrh, Ulcerated Sore Throat, etc. Cured. January, 1866. I, Mrs. Holmes, of No. 4 Brighton Street, Charleston, Mass., do certify that I have been afflicted with a very bad Catarrh for fifteen years and ulcerated sore throat. The passage in my head was so obstructed that often, while eating, I was obliged to leave the table sud- denly, clearing my mouth to prevent strangu- lation. In the Spring of 1864 my health was very poor. I was troubled with indigestion, weak sight, and I lost thirty pounds of flesh. In May I commenced using Mrs. M. G. Brown's Metaphysical Discovery, and in a few months my digestion was so improved that I could eat almost any kind of food, and regained the flesh I had lost. I feel that the Metaphys- A Cure for Catarrh.^ May, 1866. Mr. Jerome A. OGonner of Old Cambridge, Mass. This is to certify that I have been troubled with a bad Catarrh for the last five years. This winter it became unusually troublesome, so much so that I was obliged to rise at night, owing to the mucous which would have suffo- cated me. I obtained Mrs. M. G. Brown's Metaphysical Discovery some weeks back, used it faithfully, and the result is that my Catarrh began to give way at once. I felt relieved from what had been so troublesome and offen- sive to me, and now consider myself a cured man, being entirely delivered from the terrible disease, Catarrh. My sister also had been dis- eased in her head and eyes from childhood, so much so that the family thought she could not live. In the use of the Discovery she has re- ceived equal benefit with myself. We cordial- ly ecommend the Metaphysical Discovery. Cure of Catarrh of Ten Years' Standing. June 20, 1864. I, Mr. William Donnelly, corner of Dexter and D Streets, South Boston, Mass., do certify that my daughter has been suffering from Ca- tarrh for the past ten years. She lost the sense of smell, and had no passage through her nostrils during that time. Every remedy was resorted to, without receiving any relief. Seeing Mrs. M. G. Brown's Metaphysical Dis- covery advertised, I concluded to try it. After doing so, I must acknowledge my gratitude to God for inclining me to this great remedy for that dreadful disease, Catarrh. I believe my daughter never would have br>on cured had I METAPHYSICAL DISCOVERY. 41 not found this medicine. Mj daughter's Ca- tarrh is entirely broken up. Her sense of smell has returned, the passage in her head is clear. I cheerfully recommend the Metaphys- ical Discovery to all who suffer from Catarrh. Catarrh of Twenty Years' Standing Cured. Monmouth, Warren Co., 111., \ December 6th, 1865. j Mrs. M. G. Brown. Dear Madam:—I write to inform you that I have suffered from Catarrh for twenty years. My entire constitution was bowed down be- neath the weightof that terrible disease; every effort to find a cure proved a failure, till, by the mercy of God, I learned of your Metaphys- ical Discovery. I obtained it, and used it faithfully, and the result is, my Catarrh is entirely gone; not a trace of it remains. Through the effects of the disease my limbs had become stiffened: but I am now as nimble as 1 was twenty years ago. I never had any cough, but I am now hawking up round blue lumps, the size of the end of my little finger. I suppose these lumps have been gathering in my system all these years from Catarrh. I have found in your Me aphysical Discovery what every other remedy failed to supply—a cure tor the most terrible Catarrh, also the dis- eases which it induced; and I can only pray, may peace and prosperity remain with you through life, and endless bliss be your reward throughout eternity.

I talk to you as"a philosopher, so that I shall say something I otherwise might not. Well, the cold, deep-seated, incipient Ca- tarrh, continual snuffling is gone. My head is as clear as anybody's. My hearing is wonder- fully improved—bear in mind, I have been partially deaf, very much so in my left ear, for more than twenty-seven years. For ten years, for twelve years, I have had Piles, blind, bleeding, an I itching. For a year pastlhavehad eight outgrowths of flesh under my arm, as large as a finger end, and torpid. Now, after two months' use of your Metaphys- ical Discovery, the Piles, Lumps, etc., are all gone. What shall I say? I feel jubilant, like a freed bird; like one free after twenty-seven years imprisonment. Thank You. The song of my heart is, God bless Mrs. M. G. Brown. Many such letters are in my possession. Extracts of a Later Date. San Francisco, Feb. 26, 1868. I know many cases of Piles and Deafness, and whenever I meet one I give them a circu- lar, and if there is time I tell my experience; twenty-seven years Deafness, twenty years mild Catarrh, ten years Piles, blind, bleeding, and itching, cured by the Metaphysical Dis- covery. Twenty-seven years ringing in the head and ears; entirely cured in the head, and almost cured in the ears; my right ear is en- tirely cured, my left almost so. Most persons laugh at the idea of curing Piles, when I tell them the medicine is used through the eyes, ears, and scalp. I say to them do as the directions tell you, and be cured, or laugh and suffer. The Metaphysical Discovery has done for me all you claim it can do for any one. jp&-1 have never seen the above gentleman, as is the case with many of my patients. Read Mr. William Lee's Testimony. Gloucester, N, J., Jan. 30, 1866. I, William Lee, of Gloucester, Camden county, N. J., certify that my wife, Ellen, has been suffering severely with a complication of diseases for eight years, It ia more than four years since she was able to attend to house- hold duties. My housekeeper went to King- sessing Penn., to see her sister, and found her sister's neighbor, John Richmon 1 had given up work, and was at the point of death. He sent for Mrs. M. G. Brown's Metaphysical Dis- covery, had been restored to health and was at his work again. When my housekeeper returned, she told me the circumstances, and prevailed on me to write to Mr. Richmond, and ask him the particulars. I did so, and received an answer which you will find at the bottom of my certificate. We then sent for Mrs. M. G. Brown's Meta- physical Discovery, which has restored my wife's health, enabling her to attend to her houshold duties as formerly. Wm S. Lee. Answer of Mr. Richmond to Mr. Lee.\ Kicgsessing, Pa., Aug. 6th, 1863. Mr. William Lee. Sir ;—Your letter I re- ceived, and in reply state that for upwards of nine months past I have been afflicted with a Bevere pain in my head, ringing noise in my ears, deafness, and dimness of sight. I was under the treatment of several medical men, 42 MRS. M. G. BROWN'S who did all they could to relieve me, but their medicines were of no avail. I was f )ur times at t..e gates of death, and had made up my mind that death alone could ead my m sjry. On the ninth day of April, a friend called on me and advised me to give Mrs. M. G. Brown a trial. After some hesitation, I did so, and in less than three weeks I was at my work -again, as well as I ever was in my life, and am still in the enjoyment of excellent he dth. 3y the blessing of God and Mrs.M. G. Br jwu'3 Metaphysical Discovery, 1 am once more en- abled to earn my daily br.ad. Respectfully yours, John Richmond. Kingsessing, Pa., April 6th, 1867. It is now four years since I wrote the above, and am happy to say that I have been a well man from that day to the present: and I surely consider that my life was saved through the Metap.iysical Discovery which I regularly use in my family. Cure of Chills and Fever. Camden, N, J., February, 1857. I was taken with chills and fever last Au- fust, in Alexandria, Va. 1 lost my strength and esh rapidly; used Quinine and Arsenic, which stopped the effect for a while, but the chi la came on again, and I was very much pros- trated. I commenced the use ot Mr3. M. G. Brown's Metaphysical discovery, applying the remedies to the eyes, ears and scalp, as di- rected, and am rejoiced at the effect produced. My health and st-ength is restored. I have had uo return of the chills since using it. Ellen Van Name. Neuralgia. February, 1863. Certificate of Mr. J. Litch, of Charleatown Mass. This is to certify that nine months ago I was attacked with Neuralgia in the most vio- lent form. Several physicians were applied to, who did all they could to relieve me, bat to no purpose. Every patent medicine and remedy that could be found was applied with- out effect. My face was poulticed and ban- daged in order to find relief. In a short time after the Neuralgia attacked me I lost twenty- seven pounds of flesh. In this state, a friend recommended Mrs. M. G. Brown's Metaphysical Discovery, as it had cured a case of diseased eyes winch baffled the skill of most eminent physicians. I pro- cured and applied the Metaphysical Discovery. The result was that Neuralgia subsided—al- most immediately I felt relief. I slept well, without any poultices as before, and was soon entirely cored. Cure of Asthma, etc. July 12th, 1864. Mrs. Cheever, residing a* No. 62 Allen street, Boston, Mass., siy3:—I have been troubled for four yeara with sore throat. For two years I suffered with Catarrh and great dizziness in my head. I suffered greatly with A' t'ama. Could not go where there was dust. Had great pain in my head and neck, have suffered much with cold feet. Alter doctoring with various physicians without obtaining the desired relief, applied to Mr3. M. G. Brown, by whose Discovery I have been so much bene- Gited, that I an now like a different being. Formerly the least exposure gave me cold; I could not go to the door with my Lead un- covered without an attack following. My Asthma is now gone. My Catarrh has disappeared. I felt weak and languid for many years, so that I was a burden to myself. The coldness ol my feet has ceased, and I feel a general circulation through my entire system, causing me to be a3 formerly, full of strength and vivacity, and can attend to household du- ties as well as ever I did in my life. Mrs. H. C. Ryder, of Cambridgeport, Mass., used my Metaphysical Discovery for Liver Complaint, and a complication of diseases, which she had suffered from since childhood. The result was, that before a year passed, the Liver Complaint and other diseases disap- peared, and she soon gave birth to her first child, after being married twenty-one years. She is now forty-oue. Cure of Scrofulous Sore Hands, fyc. Boston, Oct. 22d, 1864. I, Mrs. Hannah M. Shedd, of 60 Harvard St., Boston, Mass., have suffered from Scrofulous Sore hands for seven years, also Discharges from the ear : have be on treated by the most eminent physicians without success. My brother, a Physician, exercised his skill on me for two years, and then he desired me to try a Doc'or whose specialty was Skin Diseases, saying, " If he cannot cure you—try no others, as you will only shorten your life." I placed myself under his care, and he applied forty ap- plications to me through the mouth and on the hands, but without siccess. My health was sinking beneath the weight of drugs and dis- ease. My head became dizzy, (through ar- senic admini "tered,) unfitting me for walkin°* the streets alone. I now despaired of ever being cured. While in this condition, some friends who had been cured by the Metaphysical Discovery (one of diseased eyes which baffled medical skill, and another of violent Neuralgia) urged me to call upon Mrs. M. G. Brown. In doing so, bein<* favorably impressed, immediately on returning home, I sent for the Discovery. After the firsc application, my ears ceased to discharge and in about six weeks my hands were entirely cured. METAPHYSICAL DISCOVERY. 43 The Discovery at once took hold of disease, andcamed it completely out of my system. My joy and surprise at my deliverance were £reat. I wrote to my brother in California (the physician who had since gone there) of the great cure—and he said— "itshould be proclaimed to the world. " In the Spring following, Mrs. Shedd's certifi- cate was published in Philadelphia, and she wrote, saying—-she could speak with more confidence now than ever, as the winter had passed, (she almost feared its arrival lest her hands would break out as usual) and her hands remained well, free from all eruption/' Mr3. Shedd's Bister, resident in Philadelphia, vol- unteered to vouch for her sister's certificate; feeling so thankful for the great cure per- formed on her sister by the Metaphysical Dis- covery—expressing herself as "never passing Mrs. M. G. Brown's house, without looking up at it with reverence !" {Extracts of a letter.'] Gordon, Schuylkill Co., Penn.. May 25th, 1865. Mrs. M. G. Brown :—Madam,—From the day of my birth (23 years ago) I have been afflicted with, at stated periods, what I sup- posed was a gathering in the head, and treated it as such, and would obtain a short respite for from one month to two, when I would in- variably be troubled with a repetition of it— lasting from one to two months. I then be- came convinced that it was something more, as I began to feel low spirited, morose, and sullen. I also became taciturn, rarely speak- ing unless directly appealed to, and felt as if I were an incumbrance to myself and every body around me. My memory, which was very powerful, began to fail me, so that I could not remember the particulars of an oc- currence two days after it happened. About this time (which was about three years ago) a celebrated Aurist. who was on a professional tour throughout the country, made a stop of a few days where I was then living. I accord- ingly called upon him, and had him deter- mine the nature of my complaint and the remedy for it. Bat I was doomed to disappointment. He told me it was caused by Scroiala, but it being of the bone and not of the flesh, it would be an utter impossibility for human hands or remedies to effect a cure. Yet I did not de- spair. I went to others, but was told the same. I was beginning then to lose all hopes, when chance placed one of your advertise- ments under my eye. I then became hopeful, and resolved not to rest until I had tried your remedies. I have tried them, and with the following results : My memory is improving, my former lively spirits returned. Formerly my sleep was broken and disturbed, and I always arose with a very bad headache : no w my sleep is regular and sound, and I arise in the morning without a vestige of my former headache. But I am not yet cured. I must trust to Providence, 3 our medicine, and time, to effect that most desired end. Respectfully yours, C. H. {Extracts of a later date from the same gentleman.'] Gordon, Sch. Co., Pa., Sept. 11th, 1865. Mrs. M. G. Brown :—Madam,—I think I can assure you truly, that I am now a weH man, or, so near, the distinction is without a difference. Since the latter part of June, I have not been troubled with a recurrence of my old complaint, and have felt like an en- tirely new person. I am, Madam, Very respectfully yours, C.

Brown's Metaphysical Dis- covery, and with perfect success. It has given me a thick growth of strong, healthy hair, which I have had cut three times. In re- covering my hair, I have also regained my health, which was in a wretched condition. Hair Renewed. February 20th, 1868. I, John McGay, of Harlem, N. Y., do cer- tify, that Mrs. M. G.

No. 1.—Poor Richard's Eye Water. cancy, both in the Church and the world, which vacancy has enriched the treasury of the Devil, on earth and in hell, with the spoils of the Cross of Christ. God Almighty has an Alphabet, and it is as necessary for the people to understand it, as it is for an American or English citizen to under- stand the alphabet of the English language. The Church, or in other words, the various Christian denominations have not yet given to the people the Divine alphabet from which to spell out the great principles of the Kingdom of God. If one letter is obliterated, or thrown out of the English alphabet, it would be an utter impossibility, to spell, to read, to write ; or even to converse intelbgently ; the people would be in such a state of confusion, that the world would be similar to bedlam. I feel rich in making the assertion, that if the Alaphabet or Elementary principles of our holy religion were logically elucidated, and labelled, by a master hand.—I say, I am rich in making the assertion,—that th6 world would now stand where Prophecy declares Ethiopia shall stand—even " stretching out its hands to God." Where do the people now stand ? and what is the cause of their flying in every direction to Infidelity, Skep- ticism, Romanism, Mormonism, Spiritualism, Rationalism, and every ism but that which fell from the lipa of Christ, Gospel,—the WHOLE Gospel, Old and New—from the first chapter of Genesis, to the last in Revelation ?—who, before entering upon his mission "was led by the Spirit into the wilderness (the world) to be tempted of the Devil."—Matt. iv. 1. To experience—as a man—Satan's power to tempt man. This he accomplished by coming in contact with men and women, iu whom the " Devil reigned." After the conflict when " angels had ministered unto his humanity," Christ went forth to exhibit Satan to the people. He was now qualified to teach from experience, having "suffered, being tempted," had tested the worst temptations the Devil could present to man, for " He was in all points, tempted like as we are."__Heb. iv. 15. How could the knowledge of an alphabet be acquired, when some of the prominent letters are obliterated! or thrown out altogether; and many never exhibited at all ? Therefore, should it be wondered that the Church (aU classes engaged in propagating truth) has been incapacitated to obey the command of the Divine Redeemer, "Compel them to come in, that my house may be filled; " filled with understanding people, who will stay there themselves, with their children, "for the promise is unto you, and to your children," take a lease aud dwell forever, from generation to generation, "in the house of the Lord?" Why are the invitations so freely given by Christ to come into his house and partake of his supper, uni- versally rejected and turned into derision ? I answer, by saying, the world which is the people, must have the Gospel defined; they can no more understand, or appropriate it to themselves, as it is given, than a man who had ordered a table, could appropriate such, from a cart load of boards 1 A load of gospel, is no use to the people, God is definite. " The very hairs of your head are all num- bered." The food by which the soul is fed, requires to be " rightly divided," even as the hen divideth food for her chickens. In no other way can the soul be fed. For want of food for the soul, which is the knowij:dge of God, well defined, and rightly divided—the people are feeding their souls on rank poison ! The souls of the people are positively gorged ; the food that is forced upon them, is so illogical that the soul neither can, nor will, digest it. Knowledge WELL DEFINED—with GOD in the CENTRE, is the FOOD for the SOUL. When souls are thus fed, they will "go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall," Mal. iv. 2, treading down and uprooting every law, ALL, that hinders, opposes, or stands in the way of "the kingdoms of this world becoming the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ."—Rev ju 16 their watchword being,—ONWARD to BATTLE, and to VICTORY 1 ' Additional Certificates. ---------M»ll--------- A Southern lady, residing in ------, many years afflicted with a complication of diseases and who had spent a fortune trying experiments, came North last year seeking relief in New York, and at various watering-places,—but all in vain. After spending five months from home she was returning to try no more considering her case a hopeless one. At this time in passing through Bond Street she noticed a sign Blindness, &c, &c, cured, and stepped into the office asking if anything could be done for her as she was nearly blind. I questioned her in relation to other physical ailments she suffered from, and she replied they cannot be cured. Physicians have done all they could for me, but to no purpose. If you can only let me see a little better until I get home, I will try no more. My hope for a cure is gone. I do not know what moment I may die with heart disease, my whole system is unstrung and out of order. I remarked, your many diseases may be compared to a stalk of potatoes grow- ing in your garden. There are many potatoes to a stalk, and that stalk is attached to a root, which gives sustenance to the potatoes. They vary in size, shape and even color, but are all sustained from one root. In like manner disease of every kind derives its life and sustenance from one root. All disease is on the principle of cause and effect. The root is begotten by a law, and the law produces a cause, and the cause produces an effect, or effects. Physicians not being successful in your case was owing to the fact that they were treating disease instead of the cause of disease. One potato taken from the stalk does not annihilate the other potatoes, or the root, but being cut off*, the vitality which sustained it, goes back to the root, impart- ing new life to the other potatoes, or forming a new potato, thus it is precisely with the law of disease. When one disease is treated, and disappears hid away by powerful drugs in the system, the vitality which sustained it goes back to the root, strengthening the other diseases, or forming new ones. After conversing with the lady for some time, fully assuring her that the Metaphysical Discovery would utterly destroy disease in her system both root and branch,—she consented to place herself under my treatment, saying that she would not do so, were it not that she was driven as it were, to desperation, the mode and theory being entirely new, never even heard of before The first relief experienced was deliverance from a violent pain in her head which she had suffered from for years. The lady remained in New York under Metaphysical Treatment a short time, and then went home, taking with her a supply of the Discovery. On her return she writes as follows. Oct. 27th, 1869. My Dear Mrs. M. G. Brown. We arrived home safe after a passage of four days, were kept back by head winds. I was very sick and so fatigued that I was nearly dead—in fact my friends thought I had come home to die—but I told them that they were mistaken, for I had at last found the remedy—that would cure me—had brought it with me, and by the grace of God, I should live and not die. I have used the Discovery copiously and my system was so clogged that as the mucous gives way it falls over my eyes and ears, deafens and so blinds me, that I could not see to write to you sooner, and can scarcely 836 now; so I will have to ask you to excuse a poor letter. I have not left home but once since I arrived, and yesterday and the day before I had rather a bad spjll with both my heart and nerves. I know that the monster disease will not let go his grasp on me without a death struggle. I am not at all discouraged but shall persevere with the Discovery for there is nothing else that will save me. My case was so desperate and complicated, that I shall think myself happy if I am near recovery even in a year, and shall then indeed look for the fulfilment of the promise 2 ADDITIONAL CERTIFICATES. that "with long life I will satisfy you." The Medicine is so wonderful to me that I have talked myself nearly to exhaustion tell- ing the people of the great Discovery; they thought me somewhat demented on the subject at first, but Beeing now the good ! effects of it on me, are beginning to call for it themselves. My friend, Mrs. J----, of whom I spoke when in New York sent you an order and another friend will send immediately, many others will follow. There are men who come here professing to cure; the people go to them in crowds, and leave disappointed, others come, and again they go, thinking peradventure, this or that one will relieve them, and are again disappointed. If you had a house here, the people would flee to you as to a city of refuge. I have been paving tbe way for that house, and unhesitatingly say to you establish a house as quickly as possible. I believe if the people would follow your di- rections,—they would be saved, and all dis- appointment would come to an end; and that many would very soon, and in the day of judgement, arise and < all you blessed. I look over this afflicted people with sor- row of heart, for well I know there is nothing here to meet their case. The peo- ple everywhere are so burdened with disease that many, very many of them do not think of God; disease and drugs hasten them to an early grave. ***** (Some strong expressions are omitted lest certain classes might take offense). Excuse me if I speak strongly, for I feel deeply that God has given you this remedy for his peo- ple, and I hold it to be your duty to make an extraordinary effort to give this Dis- covery to the world. Jesus and his blessed Gospel have ever had to fight their way to save the people, and you cannot expect the victory before the battle. The hand-maiden should not be above her Lord. May the Lord bless your efforts to save the people, and may the blessing that makcth rich and addeth no sorrow thereto, be yours and that of my dear Miss Lizzie.

My host of diseases are all yielding slowly, though surely, and by the grace of God and yoor Discovery I expect to gain the victory over the hydra monster disease,—and eternity will never be long enough to make me forget you, or cease to be grateful to God, and to you his chosen instrument for giving me back the great boon of good health. Pray for me my dear Mrs. Brown and my dear Miss Lizzie, that grace may b'j gives me that I may use my restored health and prolonged life in the service of the Lord. * * * Your name is fast becoming a household word with us, how much I would like if you were in our city.

Although it stirs up disease in my system, and makes me for the time feel that I am engaged in a battle, still I am steadily advancing to a cure, and believe in due time I shall be cured. All those using the "Discovery," are getting better ; sometimes they seem to be discouraged and come to see and talk with me,—and leave with hopes revived, resolved to persevere hi the use of the Discovery. 1 have rarely gone out since my return but have staid at home, using the Discovery, watching the effects, and reading the Pamphlet which has become a large part of my religion. I am so heavily diseased I know it will take a long time to cure me, for I am indeed like a well full of rubbisly disease, but I am blessed with a good stock of patience, and shall persevere faithfully.

Dear Madam: Already the Discovery has done more for me than all the Physi- cians combined, who have tried their skill upon me—and they have been among the best in this place, as well as in London, and Paris. I have been slow in making this assertion to you; being disappointed so many times, made me hesitate until fully convinced of the fact; and being now convinced that I am on the high road to health, I will go on to state what the Discovery has already doue for me. The first two or three applications of the Renovator cleansed my scalp from the dand- ruff with which it was troubled, I find it an elegant dressing for the hair. My sight has been strengthened by the use of the Eye Water. I suffered from a bearing down sensation, caused by a diseased liver. What the real trouble with the liver was, I don't think my Physician knew: there was great hardness upon pressure. The bad feeling is nearly gone—only a little of it at times. I was compelled to wear a brace to walk any distance, and could not kneel to say my prayers without sinking to the floor and repeating them in that position ; even with the brace, I could not walk far. I have now discontinued the brace and can take a pretty good walk, without feeling badly, and kneel with ease and pleasure. The Discovery effects me in different ways. * * * * The great itching of my toes shows the Discovery has penetrated to the extremities of my body. You will see from what I have written about my progess in health that I under- stand pretty well how to apply the Dis- covery, and I think if I go on as I am doing that the day is not far distant, when I shad stand emancipated from disease. I find it a great convenience to have the Discovery where I can but my hands on it, for I apply the Preparations most copiously. * * 1 feel myself especially favored by provi- dence that I can testify to the healing power of your great Discovery. May a kind Father spare your valuable life untill the great aim you have in view is accomplished. None can appreciate it more than my friend Mrs. M—, she is enthusiastic over it; I fancied no one could touch me in that respect—, but I am completely eclipsed by her; it de- serves all the enthusiasm expended upon it I agree with Miss. W. in her opinion that most persons lack the appreciation and perseverance necessary in the use of the Discovery. My experience teaches me that the Dis- covery requires appreciation, close observa- tion, and a vast amount of patience and perseverance to accomplish the desired end. But the great boon of health is worth all the time that is expended upon it. Many think it tedious to apply the Dis- covery—till they acquire the art, when it be- comes delightful.

Mrs. Brown, Dear Madam :— Five years ago I was an inmate of the Insane Asylum at Uniontown Pa., but a/ter useing half a box of your Met- aphysical Discovery, I was cured, and have not leen in the Asylum since that time.

I would have been dead, but for you. Yours in haste, Wm. H. F. MRS. M. G. BROWN'S PERSONAL EXPERIENCE IN TYPHOID PNEUMONIA. Words are inadequate to 'express all I feel, and know, in relation to the Meta- physical Discovery. Many come from afar to consult with me, as to the possibility of the Discovery effecting a cure in their re- spective cases. I confidently say to all classes, that the Discovery is all I claim for it. After testing it ten years with almost unparalled scrutiny and observation, I justly come to the conclusion that the Metaphysical Discove;y is the one, and only Panacea, for a Suffering World. It is the plan designed by God in Wisdom, for the preservation of both mind and body, in their abnormal condition. In the immediate bosom of my own family, lives, more precious to me than my own, have been brought up from the grave; a few more weeks or days, a id the death scene would have borne them away forever; but through the Discovery and the Discovery alone, they are now free from disease, and stronger than their fellows. In March, 1869, I took a severe cold, and in three days felt that congestion had seized my throat and lungs; and was so rapidly closing me up, that I must get help or parish with the multitude: hundreds were dying suddsnly of the same disease— Typhoid Pneumonia. Where was I to look for relief in this dark hour of danger,—certainly not to experiments—but to the Discovery, and the Discovery alone; consequently I yielded to the necessity of the disease, un- dressed, went to bed, and had an attendant apply the Discovery four times daily, taking an hour to make each application—putting three four ounce bottles into my eyes, ears, and scalp, each time. I had the applications repeated in regular order, for four days—at which time I was convalescent; and every hour told the power of the Discovery, on my trembling frame: as certainly marked for death, and the grave, as ever the wood cutter marked a tree. I trust never to forget the deliverance wrought out for me in what must have been the hour of death,—by the Metaphysical Discovery. Never was an armed assassin more effectually frustrated in his designs than was the monster death, when the Dis covery arrayed itself for battle, which was fierce, short, and decisive; every appli- cation was a battle, and a victory. It was at this crisis I learned that the Discovery must be used copiously, very copiously in the hour of danger—if life is saved. Immediately after my return to business, I changed the bottles containing the Dis- covery from 4 oz. to 14 oz—this arrange- ment makes the Discovery one-third cheaper. I use the Discovery regularly now, as a preserver of health, which is remarkably good. I have gotten a new scalp, and new head of hair, stronger, longer, and more abundant than at any period of my life ; it was turning, but is almost back to its own color. I weigh 210 pounds, my flesh is hard and solid. I have a clear complexion, bloom in my cneek, such as I never had before, with a number of other favorable changes indicating that my life is renewed. My memory is strengthened—stronger than at any former period of life: my intellect as clear, and mental faculties vigorous—all of which I certainly attribute to simply understanding the machinery of the human body, and putting and keeping it in good working order, by the methodical introduc- tion of the three moistures of the Meta- physical Discovery, representing the Dew, the Rain, the Frost and the Snow—de- signed by God for the preservation of the earth. The body, with its ramifications, is of the earth, and subordinate likewise to the laws of rest and moisture, for its preservation. Re6t and Moisture are God's Physicians for the body and for the earth ADDITIONAL CERTIFICATES. 5 MISS M. D. WILSON'S CERTIFICATE. Fbedonia, N. Y, May 2, 1870. To the Public : For eighteen months, previous to Dec. last, I had been on the very verge of the grave, and bad suffered more than thou- sands have, to die, from a complication of diseases, viz., Prostration of the Entire Nervous System, Dropsy, Heart Disease, Bronchial Catarrh, Dyspepsia, Chronic In- flamation of the Stomach, Enlargement of the Liver, Jaundice, Spinal Complaint, Failing Eye-sight, Loss of Hair, and subse- quently (and for six months' time) Neural- gia, followed by Paralysis, with almost total loss of the Locomotive powers—all of which were speedily arrested in their pro- gress, and have been gradually and effectu- ally removed, by first destroying the root, whereby disease can no longer exist in the body, through the agency of Mrs. M. G. Brown's wonderful Metaphysical Discovery. Gratitude, and a desire to testify to the efficient means which will relieve suffering humanity everywhere, bring me before you, for only those who have suffered, know how to ptty the suffering, and only those who have themselves been benefited by the use of the Discovery, can have a very correct knowledge of its intrinsic merits. Among the Ancients there prevailed a favorite belief, that there "existed some- where upon the earth a fountain, giving to all, who were fortunate enough to find and partake of its waters, perpetual youth and vigor. Long and perilous journeys were taken in search of these waters of life—but in vain. Yet this Elixir of Life, J am bold to as- sert, does exist—but comes not in the man- ner sought. Knowing, and having myself tested its healing powers with no less than miracu- lous results, when every other means had failed—can I do my duty without directing all in the High Road to Health? "As for me, I will give thanks unto the Lord with my mouth, and praise Him before the multitude." " For my feet were almost gone, my steps had well nigh slipped." In my own case, the Discovery had a great and wonderful work to perform. I was partially paralyzed from head to foot, and any thing which would bring life and circulation to my deadened limbs and sen- sibilities (and the Discovery alone could do this) must of necessity produce pain. My experience was pain, where the Discov- ery seemed to work, and that was over, and through my entire system. Others here, who are using the Discovery, suffer nothing and experience no unpleasant sen- sations, but a general re-building and bracing-up, together with other benefits from day to day. But certain it is, as Mrs. Brown says, that the Discovery must be applied freely and unceasingly, for a time at least; also, that the daily use, even in small quantities, will preserve health and lengthen life. It will be my pleasure to have daily access to the Discovery through life, be- lieving as I do, that it should form an accompaniment to other articles for the toilet—soap and water, for instance—these being considered essential to health and cleanliness of the external. I am persuaded that the daily application of the Discovery is essential to ventilate and purify the internal. An eminent oculist and aurist has assert- ed, that even the head, is often the habita- tion of life in a wriggling mass, and all know, that other portions of the body are more or less infested. Now, when the bed of mucus, in which such life generates, is removed, (which is effected by the use of the Discovery) these animals can no longer exist. The cause of disease is effectually re- moved by perseverance and patience in application of the Discovery. It tells its own story, and explains itself, step by step, to any who are not of those, that " having eyes, see not; ears, and hear not; hearts, and understand not." Patience and perseverance pay bounti- fully in the triumphant success which will Burely follow its faithful use. I would add that not until the middle of March did I recover entire possession of my Umbs, and up to April 1st I could not perceive that I had gained strength; but from that time, my improvement has been incredible. The 13th ulto., I walked one mile and back, and since the 22d I have daily taken the same walk. My joy is full; from my heart prayers and praises continually go forth to God for His blessing upon Mrs. Brown's efforts in her noble work. May she live long in the enjoyment of a happy and useful life, to witness the successful march of her Discov- ary on its errand of mercy and love. I conscientiously recommend Mrs. M. G. Brown's logical and scientific Treatment to all who are suffering from any disease— what ever its name and nature. The sufferer's friend, M. D. WILSON. EXTRACTS FROM MISS WILSON'S LETTEB OF SAME DATE. u My life, which was fast waning, has 6 ADDITIONAL CERTIFICATES. been given back to me again, and the most that I may be able to do in heralding it abroad, and convincing others of the value of the Remedy, is but a trifle compared to the benefit I have received. I often think, life to you must look very beautiful, so full as it is, of opportunities for usefulness, and such prospects as you have before you of being a blessing to the whole human race. All must yet " honor, yea, love the mind whose warm and generous thought embrace the common interests of our race." On receiving Miss Wilson's certificate I wrote to her, asking if she would have one or two prominent persons certify as to her statement, that additional weight might be placed to her remarkable testimony. She complied with my request, and sent me the following. Feedonia, N. Y. May 12th 1870. To whom it may concern : I hereby certify that my family having personal acquaintance with Miss M. D. Wilson previous to her using the wonderful Discovery, knew her to be a sufferer; she has been uuder the care of some of the best Physicians of our town, and received no benefit, until Providence kindly sent to her aid Mrs. Brown's all sufficient remedy. Being a person of great moral worth, 1 re- gard her word, as perfectly reliable. May a kind Providence bless Mrs. Brown in the great work she has so zealously undertaken. H. S.

May you ever prosper. MATTIE J. HUBBELL, Fredonia, N. Y. May 12th 1870. To whom it may concern ; I hereby certify that my wife has known Miss M. D. Wilson to be the past year in a critical condition and under treatment of different Physicians from whom she received no benefit apparently. To day she comes before us with a beaming countenance indi- cative of returning health and vigor. We are happy to say that we consider her greatly benefited by the use of the Metaphysical Discovery.

Dear Madam :— I take great pleasure in saying that after receiving twelve treatments Of yOUT METAPHYSICAL DISCOVERY I feel the oataerh from which I suffered for ten or more years entirely removed. Previous to using your Metaphysical Dis- covery, I tried many treatments and various prescriptions, all of which failed of the desired effect. In justice to you and your invaluable Dis- covery I must say, that my whole system has been very materially benefitted, and feel I should be doing myself an injustice should I be without your Metaphysical Dis- covery. Believe me sincerely and truly yours. H. W. Shipman, 126 Maiden Lane. DEAFNESS AND CATARRH. New York, May 10th, 1870, Water St. I have been deaf for several years, also suffered greatly from Chronic Catarrh, and was most sensitive to cold, so much so that I seldom went out in summer without muffling. Your Metaphysical Discovery being highly recommended, I tested it by a course of treat- ment, and can say that it has restored my Hearing, cured my Catarrh, and relieved me of the predisposition to take cold. My gen- eral health is much improved. H. B. STIFF NECK, THIRTY YEARS, FROM A KICK OF A HORSE—BALD FIFTEEN YEARS. New York, January, 1870.

Brown, I think I owe it to suffering humanity and to the cause of truth to make the following statement: For years I have suffered from abscesses on the Eye Lids. Physicians, both in Pough- keepsie and in New York City assured me there was no possibility of a cure without an operation. Shortly after I saw one of your advertisements, which advanced quite a new theory; I had faith in it at once, and wrote to you to that effect. I put myself under your Treatment, and in two weeks the ab- scesses fell from my eye lids; my sight, which was very weak, became strong, and continue so to this day. It is three years since I was cured. My grandson, fourteen years of age, had poor, thin hair from his birth; and by the use of your Discovery, has now a thick growth of beautiful hair. My daughter has found the Discovery effec- tual in breaking up a bad cold and removing a chronic headache. As a family, we cannot speak too highly of your Metaphysical Discovery. Mrs. S., East 31st Street. GRANULATED EYELIDS AND ERYSIPELAS. January 3, 1870. I have been a sufferer for ten years from Granulated Eyelids, and Erysipelas, which had much drawn my face; my sight was very poor—unfitting me for business. The most skillful physicians in New Brunswick and New York pronounced my case incurable. With joy and gratitude I testify that Mrs. M. G. Brown's Metaphysical Treatment very soon cured me. I feel like a boy again; am fifty-nine years old, and can now see to read and write without Specks. Thomas Wilson, Mattawan, Monmouth County, N. J. A SUFFERER FROM DEEPLY SEATED HEREDITARY CATARRH.

Former extracts from Mr. Bigler, will be found on page 43—written in Bethlehem, Pa., his late place of residence, New Philadelphia, Ohio, May 16th, 1870. Mrs. M. G, Brown, Dear Friend:— I have now the great pleasure of informing you that I have excel- lent health, I can now labor as hard as I will, without getting fatigued. That was not the case, even before I had the Catarrh. J May God bless you, my dear friend; it is to you that I owe this great debt of gratitude which cannot be computed in dollars and cents, I often read your letters over again ; how full of kindness they are, and what great patience you had to exercise with me, before you got me to rightly understand the Dis- covery. You have been more than a mother to me, I shall esteem and honor you as long as I live. It is now my duty to work with all my might for the spread of the Discovery. I have introduced it iuto quite a number of families, who have learned to appreciate it, and would not do without it. I am anxious to see the metaphysician come forth, no doubt you have so much to do, that you cannot find leisure to send it forth. I desire to receive more instruction from such a well cultivated mind as that which brought forth such a simple yet grand plan for ridding man from disease. With kind regards, I remain as ever, Your grateful patient. F. R Bigler. ALL CLASSES AND AGES should regularly apply the Metaphysical Discovery to kill and prevent the root of disease from living in their system. If you think it too much trouble to use the Discovery, go to the sick-room, where one is about to die; ask them, what they would give to be strong and weU; what think you would be the answer ? Remember, if disease is in your body, you must remove it, or it will remove you. I advise all who can, to have another apply the Dis- covery for them. Not being educated to pass the moisture into your system, makes the process, in many cases, awkward and difficult—which is obviated by having other hands than your own, apply it. In- deed, I do not knew a greater luxury than having a thorough treatment givon as I describe. It will be one of the rich hours of your life, spent in profitable conversation with your friend, who performs the kind office; at the same time resting while your body is drinking in rivers of life. "Everything shaU live whither the river cometh."—Ezek. xlvii. ». It takes fully an hour to give a thorough treat- ment in Eyes, Ears and Scalp. A lounge or sofa makes the operation delightful; lie on the back while applica- tion is made to the Eyes, on the side, for the Ears; close gently the eyes, the water runs in better, with the eyes shut; a camels hair brush wiU pass the moisture into the Eyes, a tube passes in the Ear Preparation, the Scalp Renovator is rubbed in with the hands. Use your judgment as to the quantity applied; the more freely, the better, on both adults and children. Consider what benefit the earth, with its plants and shrubs, derives from heavy dews and copious show- ers, and act accordingly with your earthly tabernacle, your house of clay, with its many plants and shrubs. "Let thine eyes observe my ways."—Prov. xxiii. 26. " By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew."—Prov. iii. 20, "Thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening rejoice; thou visitest the earth and waterest it; thou greatly enricheth it with the river of God, (The Sea,) which is full of water; thou prepareth them corn when thou hast so provided for it."—Psalm lxv. 9. 8 ADDITIONAL CERTIFICATES. "TO KNOW TO DO GOOD, and do it not, is sin." Sin is a trans- gression of the law, which says, " do unto others, as you would have others do unto you." Certainly no blessing ranks higher than that which secures the health and strength of both body and mind. To know how to arrive at such a boon, and conceal it from a suffering world, would be cruel in the extreme. How many valuable lives would be spared to their families and the world, did the people only take time to consider! but alas ! they never stop to think. On they go, shrouded in disease, but they know it not, till a sudden attack stops them in their course. THE PARABLE OF THE TEN VIRGINS is a striking analogy of the above; "five of them were wise, and five were foolish." Matt. xxv. 2. The wise took time to get acquainted with God; they knew Him, and could lean on God in the hour of need. The foolish were either lazy, careless, or indolent, perhaps all three. They had no knowledge of God ; his plans, purposes and requirements, were to them as an idle tale, or something for their ridicule. Both had lamps,—meaning both had the same advantages; but " the wi3e took oil in their vessels with their lamps." " Their vessels," was their intellect, which "the wise," and "the foolish," possessed alike ; " but " the wise," were ea>eful to have their vessels supplied with "oil," knowledge and understanding. "When the midnight cry was made, all the virgins arose and trimmed their lamps; but the lamps of the foolish soon went out, for they had no oil, had no knowledge; and while the wise went in with their lamps burning to " be ever with the Lord," the foolish became con- fused, they had no light, their lamps had gone out, their knowledge, being on the surface—they knew not where to go, or what to do ; they were looking for light, but found it not; they knocked at the door, it was shut, but the answer came " I know you not."—Matthew, xxv. i. 12 An unexpected attack of disease is as the midnight cry; those who have the Metaphysical Discovery in their house, and understand the laws by which it works, as well as how to apply it; are like the wise virgins who " took oil in their vessels with their lamps "—they not only have their lamps—the Discovery—but they have the oil—knowledge and under- standing how to apply and value it. Thus are they prepared to put away the dark hour, subduing disease by the Dis- covery, (a few applications will do this) and go forth again, to enjoy life and health. The foolish virgins are those who are incredulous; condemning what they have never considered, ridiculing everything apparently new, laughing at every ad- vance step; and call what they do not understand " a humbug "—thus when caught with sudden outbursts of disease, they send m all directions for aid, their lamps having gone out, having no knowl- edge, no oil in their vessels. Attempts to relieve them are made, but their lamps cannot be trimmed—all is over, they pass out into the dark grave—and the door is shut! HUNDREDS DIE ANNUALLY who are strong and healthy, and had yet many happy years to live, but for sudden cold which closed them up, and alas ! their physicians knew not the law by which their congested organs might resume their natural functions. Some die in from 12 to 36 hours, while others linger for days kept up by opiates till life ebbs away. They remonstrate agaiust dying, saying they were never in better health, and all they need, is to have their heads venti- lated, their chests relieved—but they know not how to do this. They pour drugs down the throat, but only to add fuel to the flame ! A GENTLEMAN IN THIS CITY about fifty years of age, worth several millions, died last winter suddenly; he took cold on Sunday Evening and in less than twenty four hours, the Congestion had increased to such an extent that spasms ensued, and before the Doctor reached his house the spirit had taken its flight! This death could have been prevented by an immediate and copious use of the Metaphysical Discovery. ADDITIONAL CERTIFICATES. 9 Thus it must be with those who re- ject, or neglect, to become acquainted with the Metaphysical Discovery, and have it in their house—to do battle with the Monster Death when he enters. A LADY IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK caught cold which closed up her head and chest; physicians battled with the disease, two weeks, but failed to give ventilation. The last week, opiates only were administered. Her husband assured me, that when he told her she was dying, she prostested against death; saying she never had better health, or felt stronger, that all she wanted, was her chest and lungs released; but alas! her physicians knew not how to deliver her, in that terrible hour! life ebbed out under the influence of opiate's. A LADY FROM CONNECTICUT told me a few weeks since, that her father was suddenly taken ill, and as usual at his time of life, soon closed up with con- gestion. Every effort to restore venti- lation proved a failure; he remarked to his daughter, "and must I die by this choking, when I feel so well every other way ? oh ! I never felt so like living, as I do now! "—but his life went out for want of an opening law, to bear on the congestive law. How true that the " peo- ple perish for lack of knowledge." A LADY WHO WOULD HAVE LIVED had she used the Metaphysical Discovery, but "the Devil who is ever walking about (in the people) seeking whom he may devour " exerted his influence against the Discovery, through her relations— whereby she rejected the Discovery, and adhered to remedies which could bring no relief; consequently hastened death: and in an unlooked for hour, at midnight, she passed away, unexpectedly! the only and greatly beloved daughter, leaving behind—life long gloom and sorrow. I might enumerate on—but it would be an endless task. The Metaphysical Discovery alone, reaches the congested parts,liberating the suffering nerves—and I must say, frightened captive from con- gestive chains—to perfect ventilation of both head and trunk. LATER EXTRACTS FROM MRS. M- JUNE 1, 1870. Up to this time the Metaphysical Dis- covery has cost me eighty-two dollars ; out of the hundreds spent to get my health re-established, that is all for which I feel I shall have value received. At this writing the results are that I am fully delivered from Neuralgia and Dyspepsia of the most violent character; Constipation is entirely broken up; Erysipelas I never expect to have again; Womb complaint is nearly cured, and Piles, which I have had for many years, have nearly disappeared. I am rarely nervous, my circulation is better, and at times, my sphits become so buoyant, and my elasticity of body so great, that it takes me back to twenty years ago, and makes me feel foolish, and act so too. I am much stronger. The vast amount of obstructions that I have passed off through the natural channels, and have hawked down from the head, and up from the lungs, is amazing. * * * * * 1 regret that I could not use the Dis- covery with the comfort my dear friend Mrs. ----does. Her case was certainly one of the most desperate and hopeless I ever knew. I am happy to be able to inform you that she is getting to be very comfortable, and we believe steadily ad- vancing to a cure. In three months she has gained seventeen pounds of flesh, and is looking better, so it is noticeable to all her friends. She is much encour- aged, and is willing to wait for a cure, even if it should take years to bring it about. ****** The use of the Metaphysical Discovery ensures Sound and Sweet Sleep; a Good Appetite; Quiet Nerves; a Sweet Breath; Good Circulation ; Elasticity of Body; all Scrofulous affections com- pletely eradicated.

The Metaphysical Discovery will positively open every avenue of the bodyj dissolve all the obstructions (no matter how deeply or firmly seated in the system) and carry them off through the proper channels. It is an utter impossibility for disease to exist where the Discovery is under- stood and applied. Think of the gifted, and useful men and women daily and suddenly cut off who might have lived thirty or fifty years longer,_-had they possessed the knowledge contained in this Pamphlet. Patients at a distance, can acquire the art of passing the Discovery into the system—as it is applied at the University—by corresponding with Mrs M G Brown, who will take pleasure in giving the most explicit instructions, counsel and advice, free of charge. A limited number of resident patients received at the University, 51 Bond St EXTRACTS fBOWT TfttiWW iETTE|*8, Added July 15th, 1871. New York Mills, N. Y., Jan. 22d, 1871. Mrs. M. G. Brown: Dear Madam:— A few days since one of your agents called at our house and presented me with one of your Pamphlets, which treats of your Metaphysical Discovery. I have taken the liberty to write to a Miss Wilson, of Fre- donia, who claims to have been cured by your Discovery. Last evening, I received an answer from her confirming all tnat is written in your Pamphlet, and also speaks of many others who have been cured by the same treatment. She recommended me to write to you, and the cause of my writing is this: My husband i3 afflicted with the Asthma; he has had it for the last ten years; we have spent a great deal for Physicians and Medicine, besides trying almost all the Patent Medi- cines we would hear of, but they have only given him temporary relief; he had about made up his mind that there was no help for him until your agent called. It seemed to strike him that it might do him good. His cough is very bad, especially in the morning; he is very much troubled for his breath; he is just able to walk about the room and the least exercise will put him out of breath. I some- times think, perhaps, he is troubled with the heart disease. I think if your Metaphysical Discovery should cure him it would be the greatest advertisement which could be circulated in this place. Now, Madam, will you be so kind as to write me what you think of his case, and I remain, meanwhile, with respect, yours, in love, Mrs. E. A. Gould. New York Mills, N. Y., Feb. 14th, 1871. Mrs. M. G. Brown: Dear Madam:—At your request I write to in- form you of the health of my husband. He is wonderfully improved—it is almost in- credible the change which has taken place in two weeks. He frequently was so troubled for breath that I had to throw open the doors to admit the air, also hold and fan him to keep life in him. Those spells are all gone and his breath is natural, his cough would last from one to two hours every morning with a great quantity of expectoration; these morning coughs have almost entirely ceased. He was very constipated, that is entirely re- moved ; his appetite is returning; his complexion is becoming clear and natural, while before it appeared very much jaundiced. He is becom- ing almost a new man, thanks to a kind Providence and your Metaphysical Discovery. It will be two weeks since I commenced us- ing it, and I now send you seven dollars for another set and extra bottle of scalp. Please forward directly, as this is almost gone. I would like to know if you think it necessary to apply the next set as freely as I have the first. May an All-wise Providence ever smile upon you and your efforts in doing good for suffering humanity, is the prayer of E. A. Gould. New York Mills, N. Y, March 14th, 1871. Mrs. M. G. Brown: Dear Madam:—Again it has become neces- sary to write you a few lines, and, thinking also, you would like to know how my husband is doing. He keeps gaining, though not quite so fast as at first; he felt so well that he ventur- ed out and the result was a heavy cold, which made his cough worse though it did not affect the shortness of breath. He is better now and thinks he will take your advice and stay in un- til the weather is warm. We have the utmost confidence in the Discovery, and are extending the influence in every direction and scattering circulars everywhere. The pamphlets are all gone and a number have called for them whom we could not supply. When I see what the Discovery is doing and has done for my husband, I feel anxious that every invalid should have it. All who are using the Discovery are satisfied that it is helping them. I send you $25 for six sets of the Metaphysi- cal Discovery. Please send four sets of tubes, for this is for four new ones who have not used it. Please add also a few Pamphlets. We would like to have it as soon as possible. Yours, with respect, E. A. Gould. I wrote, requesting Mr. Gould to guard against cold and fatigue as his two great enemies ; not to use his increasing strength but add it to the capital—Strength is Capital—not to go out before mild weather came and his circulation had at least exhibited signs of re- turning. Cold and fatigue generally prove fatal to those coming up out ofdisease ; they break down the bridge which the Metaphysical Discovery is erecting,to carry the dilapidated and diseased body over into a laud of health, strength, and long life. ___ M. G. Brown. New York Mills, N. Y, March 29th, 1871. Mrs. M. G. Brown: Dear Madam:—Again it becomes necessary to write to you, and first, I will say^ Mr. Gould 2 FURTHER EXTRACTS has about recovered from his cold; we have had a hard battle, but through the blessing of God and the Metaphysical Discovery, we have about conquered; and as a burnt child dreads the fire, he is very careful now. The Discovery is spreading all over. I have one patient in Utica, four miles from here; one gentleman, twenty miles away, has ordered a set which I sent him, and new ones are con- stantly making inquiries about the Discovery. I send you $25 for the inclosed order, also $8 for 12 bottles of Scalp Renovator. Yours, with respect, E. A. Gould. New York Mills, N. Y., April 14th, 1871. Mrs. Brown: Dear Madam:—I send you ($25) twenty-five dollars, for six sets Metaphysical Discovery, and two dollars for one Eye Preparation. Being in haste, I have no time to write further, than to say Mr. Gould is improving; he is now able to go out some and do a little business. Yours, in haste, E. A. Gould New York Mills, N. Y, April 25th, 1871. Mrs. M. G. Brown: Dear Madam:—We have introduced the Dis- covery into Utica. One lady has been cured of Catarrh, who had it very badly, and there is one writing for a set now. There is a gentleman here in our neighbor- hood, who has been bald for a number of years. His hair is coming in again very thick, and is already over half an inch long. A lady, who is blind, has just ordered it; the doctors say she cannot be helped, but I have faith to believe the Discovery will help her. I firmly believe it will be Eyes to the BUnd, and Ears to the Deaf, to those who will perse- vere in the use of it. All who use the Discovery say it is helping them, and I think no less than the hand of Providence ever sent your agent here. With much thankfulness to God and you, I subscribe myself, Yours, with kind regards, ~~ E. A. Gould New York Mills, N. YM June 7th, 1871. Mrs. M. G. Brown: Dear Madam:—I wish now to tell you what the Discovery is doing for our next door neighbor's child, a little girl seven years old; she was taken sick the first of April; they called in a physician; he pronounced it injlammation of the heart. Considering it a very dangerous disease, he made twenty-seven visita. The child grew worse till two weeks ago, he threw out the idea to the mother that she would not live, and he told one of the relatives that she could live but a short time. The mother came to us in her trouble, she asked us what we thought the Discovery would do, and if we thought it would help her. I told her I could not tell, but if she wanted me to try and give her a treatment I would do the best I could, but would not as- sume the responsibility. It seemed almost use- less, the little girl appeared so low; when I did treat her it seemed almost like treating a dead child, she was so pale and lifeless. The third treatment there was a change and she has been gaining ever since. She is able to sit up near- ly all day; has a good appetite. The mother says she can see that every application helps her—and she is improving daily. * * Yours,
