    Doctor Rush, during my residence in his house, often spoke of adapted to the climate of the United States. | As he reserved it for the last act of his labors, for the benefit of mankind, unhappily he did not live to accomplish his design. In the work now presented to the public, you have fulfilled the patri- otic intentions of the great and good Rush, to the utmost extent, and I sincerely hope your reward may be, as it deserves, ample. I am, dear sir, very truly, yours, dee ASHTON ALEXANDER, M. D. Dr. James Evell. BN | Se : / ¥ DEAR SIR, +, to present to me. !
