    FUEFACE. The Editor having in his possession a Manuscript Treatise on Coughs and Colds, and being convinced, by experience, of the Author's accuracy of observation, and the value of his hints, now publishes it in the confident hope, that any thing tending to relieve or subdue the distressing malady of Pulmonary Affection, will prove acceptable to the World. The melancholy devastation occasioned by Consumption, in our Island, is great and awful, and by those who contem- plate, with feelings of humanity, the sufferings of their fellow-creatures, and the thousands who are annually sunk to the grave, by the consequences of neglecting to eradicate, in an early stage of its progress, a Cough or Cold; this Work, (the Editor hopes) will be hailed as a powerful shield against their eflects, so often fatal.
