Mr. Editor: In, every city, town and hamlet in the land may be found some feeble person unable to perform hard labor; some man or woman that delights in visiting the Bick and ministering to their wants, some local preacher not fully occupied, or some unoccupied person who would like to add a little to their present income—and I want some ~puch person in every place where I have no agent to sell a Medicinal Extract made by the Shakers, which lias proved of such signal service in the cure of those longstanding diseases that prevail in all parts of our country, and which have heretofore resisted all kinds of medical treatment. Your columns for October contained a very fluttering notice of the Shaker Extract of Roots, under the head of “The Strange Dieeaxe," to which I would like to call the attention of your readers. Please induce some such person as I have described to accept this agency. There can be no risk on the part of the agent, as no capital is required where they can furnish evidence of their honesty. Let your readers send for a circular and learn full particulars about the agency. Yours re-

spectfully,
