The following extract is published by Dr. Lee’s au thority, viz:— Extract of a letter, written by a very respectable gen tleman, residing in Baltimore, to the subscriber, who deems it his duty, though unauthorized, to lay it be fore the public, withholding the writer’s name, for particular reference» should any require it person ally. SAM. H. P. LEE.* Baltimore, August, 1828. Doctor S. H. P. Lei, New London, Conn. Dear Sir—It is now upwards of twenty years that I have used your New London Bilious Pills in my fami ly, and always found them an efficient purgative in al most every description of disease, and believe they sa« ved many a long doctor’s bill by their early and timely use. I never found their accustomed certainty to vary in their operation and effects until a few months past; and having, since then, been sadly disappointed in eve ry instance of using them, I began to conclude that you had made your fortune, and abandoned their manufac ture to mercenary and unfaithful hands. Under this impression, 1 accidentally saw an advertisement of yoursin a New York newspaper, designating spurious imitations from your own manufacture, by having your WRITTEN SIGNATURE to each bill of directions, and that in no instance were the imitations signed with pen apd ink, although a perfect copy in every other respact. Finding those I had without this test, I be gan to suspect that all was not fair in medicine, as well as in politics, and called at several of our apothe caries for your pills, with your written signature. I found many without this test, but nohe with it, until I came to the Messrs Keens’, who assured me they had them direct from you. I procured a box, and on using them, found the same effects from them I had always experienced, and am so much rejoiced on finding my self in possession of a medicine 1 so highly prize, that that I cannot, in justice, refrain from giving you this information. To avoid the imposition of counterfeits and spu rious imitations, as related above, the purchaser has only to examine the bill of directions covering each box, and if signed at foot, in my own handwriting, im mediately under my printed name, they are genuine, and prepared by me? but if owlt the printed name is affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided.

v- FT? .y It *-Ps* :V* v. V V _ COHRE 88.__ MR. BENTON’S SPEECH On the Removed of the Depositee. Mr. Benton said he would take leave, before he took up the subject under debate, to vindicate an officer of the Senate who had been unjustly assailed, and who had not the right of speaking for hnnself. He alluded to the Secretary of the Senate (Mr. Lowrie) and to the threat publicly expressed in open debate by a Senator from Ken tucky (Mr. Clay) to move to expel him from his office if he should remove any of his clerks for their political opinions. The threat implied a knowledge, or belief, that the Secretary intend- j ed to make such removal*; when in point of fact no such intention existed. The Secretary now had every clerk in his office which was in it when he came in many years ago. He was living in the utmost harmony with these clerk9, and could not but feel himseff deeply wounded by a threat which raised an implication which had no man ner of existence. Mr. B. said that an acquaint ance of fourteen years with the Secretary eoablt'U him to say that he was incapable of the dishono rs fable conduct, attributed, by implication, to him; that he was a high exemplification of the charac ter of a Christian and a gentleman, and would conscientiously discharge Tiis duties to the Senate and his clerks without the slightest regard to un merited threats. Mr* B- also spoke of the ani madversion which had been made at the same time, and for the same cause, upon an officer of another body, (the Clerk of the House of Repre- j sentatives.) Mr. B. was a stranger to him, knew nothing of what be had done, had no opinions to give as to his conduct; but he would say in vin dication of the privileges of the House of Repre- j sentatives, that the conductor their clerk belong- 4_ n4 ia (Ku C^nato and thnt it tin- CU l VS IIIWIMf »IWI -w parliamentary for the Senate to take notice of it. Mr B.' then proceeded to the order of the day the resolutions submitted by a Senator, from Kentucky (Mr. Clay) on the removal of the pub lic deposited froiu the Bank of the United States, and asked for the reading of the resolutions. The Secretary read— 1. Resolved, That, by dismissing the late Secretary of the Treasury, because he would not, contrary'to his sense of his own duty, remove the money of the United States in deposite with the Bank of the United Slates and its Branches, in conformity with the President’s opinion; and by appointing his successor to effect such removal, I which ha9 been done, the President has assumed the exercise of a power over the Treasury of the United States, not granted to him by the Consti tution and laws, and dangerous to the liberties of the people. 2 Resolved, That the reasons assigned by the Secretary of the Treasury, for the removal of the money of the United States, deposited in the Bank of the United States and its Branches com municated to Congress on the third day of De cember, 1833, are unsatisfactory and insuffi cient.” -v Mr B. said that the first of these resolutions contained impeachable matter, and was in fact, though not in form, a direct impeachment of the President of the United States. He recited the constitutional provision, that the President might be impeached, 1. for treason; 2. for bribery; 3. for high crimes; 4. for misdemeanors, and said that the first resolution charged both a high crime and a misdemeanor upon the President; a high crime in violating the laws and constitution to obtain a power over the public treasure to the danger of the liberties of the people; and a mis j demeanor in dismissing the late Secretary of the Treasury from office. Mr. B. said that the terms of the resolution were sufficiently explicit to de fine a high crime, within the meaning of the con stitution, without having recourse to the argu ments and declarations used by the mover in il lustration of his meaning; but if any doubt re mained on that head it would be removed by the whole tenor of the argument, and especially that part of it which compared the President’s con duct to that oi Cesar in seizing the public trea npa tn aid him in nnttinp an end to the liberties of his country; and every Senator in voting up on it would vote as directly upon the guilt or in nocence of the President as it he was responding to the question of guilty or not guilty, in the con cluding scene of a formal impeachment. VVe are then, said Mr. B. trying an impeach ment! Bui how! The Constitution gives to the House of Representatives the 9ole power to ori ginate impeachments; yet we originate the im peachment ourselves. The Constitution gives the accused a right to be present; but he is not here. It requires the Senate to be sworn as judges; but we are not so sworn. It requires the Chief Justice of the United States to preside when the President is tried; but the Chief Jus tice is not presiding. ^It gives the House of Re presentatives a right to be present, ami to man*! age the prosecution; but neither the House nor its managers are here. It requires the forms of criminal justice to be strictly observed; yet ail these forms are neglected and violated. It is a proceeding m which the First Magistrate of the Republic is to be tri»*d without being heard, and in which his accusers are to act as his judges. Mr. B called upon the Senate to consider well what they did before the) proceeded further in the consideration of this resolution. He cal led upon them to consider what was due to the House of Representatives, whose privilege was invaded, and who had a right to send a message to the Senate, complaining of the proceeding, and demanding its abandonment. He conjured them to coosider what was due to the President, who was to be tried in his absence for a most enormous crime: what was due to the Senate it self in thus combining the incompatible charac ters of accusers and judges, and which would itself be judged by Europe and America. He dwelt particularly on the figure which the Senate would make m going on with the consideration of this resolution. It accused the President of violating the Constitution, and itself committed twenty violations of the same Constitution in making the accusation! It accused him of vio lating a single law, and itself violated all the laws of criminal justice in prosecuting him for it. It charged him with designs dangerous to the liberties of the citizens, and immediately tram pled upon the rights of all citizens in the person of their Chief Magistrate. MprB. descanted upon the extraordinary or ganization of the Senate, and drew an argument from it in favor of the service and decorum of their proceedings. The Senate were lawgivers, L and ought To respect the law* already made; they were the constitutional advisers of the President, and should observe as nearly as pos sible the civil relations which the office of advi ser presumes; they might be his judges, and should be the last in the world to stir up an ac cusation against him, to prejudge his guilt, or to attack his character with defamatory language. Decorum', the becoming ornament of every func tionary, should be the distinguishing trait of an American Senator, who combines in his own of fice the united dignities of t.»e Executive, the legislative and the judicial character In his ju dicial capacity especially,he should aarcifice to de corum and propriety, and shun, as he would the contagious touch of sin and pestilence the slightest approach to the character of prosecutor. He refer red to British Parliamentary law to show that the Lords could not join in an accusation, because they were to try it; but here the Senate was sole ac cuser, and had nothing from the House of Repre sentatives to join; but made the accusation out and out, and tried it themselves. He said the accusation was a double one, lor a high crime and a misdemeanor, and the latter a more flagrant proceeding than the former; for it assumed to know for what cause the President had dismissed his late Secretary, and undertook to try the President for a thing which was not tri able or impeachable. From the foundation of the Government it had been settled that the Piesi dent’s right to dismiss his Secretrries resulted frdhi his constitutional obligation to see that the laws were faithfully executed. Many Presidents had dismissed Secretaries, and this was the first time that the Senate had ever undertaken to found an im peachment upon it* or had assumed to know the reasons for which it was don^. Mr. B. said that two other impeachments seem ed to be going on at the same time against two other officers, the Secretary ol the treasury, and the Treasurer; so that the Senate was brim full of criminal business. The Treasurer and the Secretary of the Treasury were both civil officers, and were both liable to impeachment for misde meanors in office; and great misdemeanors were charged upon them. They were, in fact, upon trial without the formality of a resolution; and if hpreafter imDeached bv the House of Uepre sentatives, the Senate, if they believed "hat they heard, would be ready to pronounce judgment, and remove them from office without delay or further examination Mr. B. then addressed himself to the Vice-Pre sident (Mr Van Buren) upon the novelty of the scene which was going on before him, and the great change which had taken place since he serv ed in the Senate. He commended the peculiar delicacy and decorum of the Vice President him self, who in six years’ service, in high party times, and in a decided opposition, never uttered a word, either in open or secret session, which could have wounded the feeling of a political adversary it he had been present and heard it. He extolled the decorum of the opposition to President Adams’ administration. If there was a brilliant exception, the error was redeemed by classic wit, and the heroic readiness with which a noble heart beared its bosom to the bullets of those who felt ag grieved. Still addressing himself to the Vice President, Mr. B. said that if he should receive some hits in the place where he sat, without the right to reply, he must find consolation in the case of his most illustrious predecessor, the great apostle of American liberty (Mr. Jefferson) who often told his friends of the manner in which he had been cut at, when presiding over the Senate, and personally annoyed by the inferior—no, voung and inconsiderate—members of the old federal party. Mr. B. returned to the point in debate. The President, he repeated, was on trial for a high crime, in seizing the public treasure in violation of the laws and the constitution. Was the charge true? Does the act which he has done, deserve the definition which has been put upon it? He had made up his own mind that the pub lic deposites ought to be removed from the Bank of the United States. He communicated that opinion to the Stcretary of the Treasury, the Secretary refused to remove them; the President removed him; and appointed a Secretary who gave the order which he thought the occasion re quired. All this lie did in virtue or ms consti tutional obligation to see the laws faithfully exe cuted; and in obedience to the same sense of du ty which would lead him to dismiss a Secretary at War, or of the Navy, who would refuse to give an order for troops to marsh,or fleets to sail. True, it is made the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to direct the removal of the depo sites; but the Constitution makes it the duty of the Presieent to see that the Secretary performs his duty; and the Constitution is as much above law as the President is above the Secretary. The President is on trial /or a misdemeanor— for dismissing his Secretary without sufficient cause. To this accusation there are ready an swers; first, that the President may dismiss his Secretaries without cause; secondly, that the Se nate has no cognizance of the case; thirdly, that the Senate cannot assume to know for what cause the Secretary in question was dismissed. The Secretary of the Treasury is on trial. In order to get at the President it was found neces sary to get at a gentleman who had no voice on this floor. It had been found necessary to as sail the Secretary of the Treasury in a manner i heretofore unexampled in the history of the Sen I ate. His religion, his politics, his veracity, his i understanding, his Missouri restriction vote had all been arraigned. Mr. B. said he would leave his religion to the Constitution of the United States, Catholic as he was, and although the Presbyterian might cut off his head the first time he went to mass His understanding he N^ould leave to himself. The head which could throw 1 the paper which was taken fora stone on thi9 floor, but which was in facta double headed chain shot fired from a 48 pounder, carrying sails, masts, rigging, all before it, was a head that could take care of itself. His veracity would be ad journed to the trial which was to take place for misquoting a letter of Secretary Crawford, and he had no doubt would end as the charge did for suppressing a tetter which was printed in extcn so among our documents, and withholding the name and compensation of an agent, when that name and the fact of no compensation was lying on the table. The Secretary of the Treasury was arraigned for some incidental vote on the Missouri restriction, when he was a member of the Maryland Legislature. Mr. Benton did not know what that vote was; but he did know that a certain gentleman, who lately stood in the rela tion of sergeant to another gentleman in a certain high election was the leader of the forces which deforced Missouri of her place in the Union for j the entire session which he firbt served, in the Congress of the United States, His politics could not be severely tried tn the time f file alien and sedition law, when he was scarce of a»et but were well tried during the late war, when he sided with his country and received the constant denunciations of that great organ ot fed:, eralism—the Federal Republican newspaper For the rest, Mr. B. admitted that the Secreta ry had voted for the elder Adams to be President of the United States; but denied the right of cer tain persons to make that an objection to him. Mr. B. dismissed these personal charges for the present, and would adjourn their consideration until his trial came on, for which the Senator from Kentucky (Mr. Clay) stood pledged; and after the trial was over, he had no doubt but at the Secretary of the Treasury, although a Cath olic and a federalist would be found to maintain his station in the first rank of American gentle men, and American patriots. Mr. B took up the serious charges against the Secretary, that of being the mere instrument of the President in removing the deposites and vi olating the Constitution and laws of the land.— How far he was this mere instrument, making up his mind in three days to do what others would not do at all, might be judged by every person who would refer to the opposition papers tor the division in the Cabinet about the removal of the deposites, and which constantly classed Mr. Taney, then the Attorney Genera!, on the side of removal. This classification was correct and notorious, and ought to exempt an honorable man. if anv thing could exempt him, from the imputation of being a mere instrument in a great transaction of which he was a prime counsellor. The (act is, he had long since, in his character of legal adviser to the President, advised the remo val of these deposites; and, when suddenly and unexpectedly called upon to take the office which would make it his duty to act upon his own ad vice, he accepted it from the single sense of hon or and dutv, and that he might not seem to de sert the President in flinching from the perform ance of what he had recommended. IIis person al honor was clean; his personal conduct mag nr* i i l l l! I aL _ .a numinous; ms ouiciui ui*cu» wuuiu auiuc me icai of law and truth. Mr. B said he would make short work of long accusations, and demolish in three minutes what had been concocting for three months, and deliv ering for three days in the Senate. He would call the attention of the Senate to certain clauses of law, and certain Treasury instructions, which had been left out of view, but which were deci sive of the accusation against the Secretary. The first was the clause in the Bank charter which in vested the Secretary with the power of transfer ring the public funds from place to place It was the 15 h section of the charter; he would read it. It enacted that whenever required by the Secretary of the Treasury the Bank should give the necessary facilities for transfer ing the public funds from pla drew nothing from the Treasury, but made a Treasury in every place into which they carried money within the limits of the United States, or its Territories, whether there was a branch of the United States Bank there or not. f To be continued.

I A LE X A ft b R 1 A ._ MONDAY MORNING, JANUARY 6, 1834. With reference to the unanimity which pre- j vails in Richmond on the subject of the depo-1 sites, the Whig of that city says, if there are j twenty persons in this city, or even half that number, who justify the removal of the depo sited we are sure that no man can tell who they are.” The Norfolk Herald says:—“We speak ad-, visedly when we affirm, tnat there is not to be found an individual in our community, whether friendly, or constitutionally opposed, to the United States Bank—whether a Jackson or An- j ti-Jackson man, who does not decidedly con- j demn the act of the President in removing the j deposites—not only for the mischiefs it has brought and is bringing on the country, but as a high-handed and dangerous usurpation of power.” The National Intelligencer says:—“ We state, with entire confidence in our prediction, that we do not believe that the measure will, six months from now, find respectable friends or apologists in any part of the country. It is one which cannot stand the test of examination. As a financial error, it is producing, and must continue to produce, most disastrous^ effects, but, in a political and legal light, it is, as it strikes us, still less defensible.” Agreeably to notice given,” we commence i the publication of Mr. Benton’s Speech. The last part of Mr. Clay’s Speech has not yet been reported. Patent Rights.—We learn from the Boston Journal, that his Honor Justice Story, in the Circuit Court on Saturday, refused to grant a new trial in the ca*e of Ames vs. Howard and Lathrop, decided for the plaintiff in November, and involving, it will be recollected, the im portant question of the paper-making patent. The patent right is now finally established. In the Maryland House of Delegates, on Wed- j nesday, Mr. Sifford, of Frederick, asked and obtained leave to introduce a bill to alter the mode of electing Electors of President and Vice President of the United States. Mr. Per- j ry, of Allegany, obtained leave to introduce a bill to abolish the Council to the Governor. Mr. i Palmer, of Frederick, obtained leave to intro duce a bill to alter the mode of electing the Go vernor. Mr. Fossit, of Worcester, obtained leave to introduce a bill to alter the mode of; electing the Senate. On motion of Col. Ely, it was ordered that a standing committee on the constitution be appointed. One of the removed clerks is Mr. Randolph from Virginia; and although he was removed but on Saturday before last, yet on Monday the Kitchen Cabinet, finding the delegation excited by the removal, appointed him as a clerk in one of the Departments. Gen. Scott— It seems that the nomination of this gentleman as President, has been seriously made, and will be seriously urged. Mr. J. G. Bermet has come out with his pro- J mised No. 2 Exposition. It contains a letter j from Kendall to him, giving him advice, &c. I as to his editorial course, and a letter from R. j M. Whitney, giving information to be worked up into editorial articles and used against the Bank. Kendall says in his letter that he “is! oppressed with a load of debt,”—and Whitney, in his, sends a paper picked up among Mr.; Webster’s loose papers dropped on the floor of the Senate”!! We shall keep our readers advised of Mr. Bennet’s exposition, though we cannot consent 1 at this time to occupy our columns with Ken- j dall’s and Whitney’s letters. Judge Porter, elected Senator from Louisia na, is by birth an Irishman, a very distinguish ed jurist and a very able man. General Patterson, who presided at the Phi ladelphia meeting, is an early, steady and warm friend of General Jackson—such a friend as the President could confide in. i Appointment by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate.—Robert C. Nicholas, to be Attorney for the Eastern Dis-! trict of Virginia, in the place of Thomas E. Burfoot, deceased.
The friends of the Chesapeake and Ohio Ca- j nal will read with pleasure the communication j on that subject which we have, to-day, the grati- j fieation of publishing. I
From Ohio we learn that the two Houses of the Legislature (both being of the right sort of po- litics,) have voted instructions to the Senators of that State, and requests to its Representatives in Congress, to act against the Military Academy j at West Point, and to oppose the restoration of the Public Deposites to the Bank of the United States. I!
An act has passed the Legislature of Louisi- t ana, repealing all the existing laws against the introduction of slaves into that State. There f1 are left, accordingly, no restrictions upon the in-; troductionof slaves, except a provision that, if during two months the purchaser discovers that the slave is addicted to running away, or, within •1 eight months, discovers any “rehibitory defect” fj —so in the paper from which we quote—he may i t have recourse against the vender/ j a Neither House of Congress was in session on b Saturday. __ ti v b 4P? *S* V The January Number of Mr. Homan’s Navdl and Military Magazine supports the credit of the work. .We have looked over it with much satisfaction, and again recommend the Maga zine to those especially interested and the pub lic generally. The New Orleans Courier of the 20th ult. congratulates its readers upon the increased population of the city,—wijoh indeed, under the topor of the Spanish sway, doubled every fifteen years,—and adds, with much satisfac tion, that a a peep into their houses, at the present day, will convince any one that our wives are fully as unwiling as their mothers were to neglect the first commandment.” Q,uite a compliment to the New Orleans la dies, we take it! Mr. French, one of the newly appointed Clerks in the Clerk’s Office of the House of Re-j presentatives, is stated in the New Hampshire Statesman to be, or rather to have been, the in cumbent of offices 4 too numerous to mention,’ such as Clerk of the Common Pleas Court for Sullivan County, Clerk of the Superior Court for Sullivan County, Representative in the State Legislature, Under Clerk in the Clerks’ Office at Washington, Captain of the Engine; and common report says that he is also President of a Temperance Society. As far as offices are concerned, pretty much of a Caleb Q,uotem, we should say. Ship Canal round Niagara Falls.—We have received, and read with attention, a memorial adopted at a meeting held at Oswego, for the purpose of inducing Congress to make a ship canal round the falls on the American side.— The length wTould not be more than 8 miles. Theatre.—We understand that those in our community fond of Theatrical amusements, will have an opportunity shortly of enjoying a rich treat. Mr. and Miss Fanny Kemble will shortly be in this District, and intend playing here, with the Washington Company, for two nights. They will probably appear about the 21st inst.—of which, we are requested to say, due notice will be given, and that the Box Sheet will be opened at Mr. West’s Tavern. The Pennsylvanian says, there is a pressure: —to be sure there is a pressure—every body knows that—nobody denies that; but then the pressure is partly real and partly imaginary.” The “imaginary part” must be the cream of tlie joke; but, the deuce of it is, the people can’t get at it—it’s all real to them. Dr. McWilliams, of Washington, has made an invention for warming, and rendering com fortable, carriages, either close or open. It is simple in its construction and application, and attended with but trifling expense, being made of tin, sheet iron, copper, or brass; and a few handsful of charcoal is all that is required to heat it. By this apparatus, travelling during our in- clement season will be much encouraged. Be- j ing well adapted to our public stages, it would j be greatly to the advantage of the proprietors j of those vehicles to encourage its use, by which the drivers will be safe from freezing, and the j inside passengers comfortable.

Erben, Esq. oi New York a passenger in the mail stage from Richmond to this city, that the stage upset twice between Richmond and Bowling Green on the night of the 2d inst. and most of the passengers were hurt more or less, and some of them seriously. The Hon. J. Y. Mason and lady were so much injured, they were compelled to stop at Mr. Thornton’s, near Bowling Green; and it is sup posed will not be able to reach here for several davs. Mr. Erben attributes the accident entirely to the want of lamps.— Globe. Heat Produced by Friction.—We stated a few weeks since (says the Northampton Courier) that a machine had been invented in this State j ;o warm factories and all large public edi- 1 tices by Friction. We had but little definite j knowledge then of its merits or structure, but,, within a few days we have seen it in operation i n this town. We now speak from personal ob- i t ;ervation. The machinery which generates ;he heat consists of a pair of horizontal circular elates of cast iron, enclosed in a brick oven, t ibout four feet in diameter, and weighing 1600 j >ounds. They operate upon each other pre- •isely like a pair of mill stones, with this excep ion-the upper one is stationary and the lower j t mes revolves. The ordinary speed is eiglity j, evolutions a minute, and the velocity is suffi-; t ■ient in two hours to raise the thermometer in- j he oven in which they are enclosed to 500 de- j ’rThe size of the plates, their thickness and the elocity with which they revolve, are conside ations" which the size of the building to be eated must regulate. From the top of the rick enclosure or oven, a funnel is projected, nd from this the heat can be thrown off, as l iroueh ordinary furnaces, to any part of the uilding, We saw the machinery put m opera on when cold, and in fifteen minutes, the heat •om the mouth of the funnel in an upper story r,as almost too much for the naked hand to ear, EVENTS OF 1833. We purposed to take a cursory retrospect yesterday, of the year just finished, but found that other subjects entitled to precedence would occupy our columns. Let us now employ our memory in noting the principal events of the last twelvemonths, by which the recollection o 1 our readers may be agreeably or usefully fresh ened. We cannot pursue an exact chronologi cal order; nor is this material for our object. A at. Gaz. The Proclamation of Governor Hayne, of South Carolina, in answer to that of President Jackson, dates, we believe, about the beginning of the year. It has left scarcely any trace; the Governor has the merit of more consistency than the President. We have not heard of a palinode from him. The Washington Globe chanted a requiem to Mr.' Livingston’s work.— War of France againt Holland by the Siege of Antwerp;—no other result than the reduction of the fortress; Belgic question still unsettled. The manifestoes and speeches of the King of Hol land evince a bold firmness, or what is called Dutch obstinacy, that is, a resolution to incur all hazards, rather than sacrifice honor and right. Triumph of the Doctrinaire party in the French Chamber of Deputies. That party re main predominant, happily as we believe for the weal of France and Europe.

My son has enjoyed good health ever since. 1 have no doubt that to the Ointment alone he is indebted* for nothing else was used for more than nine months before the application of the Oint. ment.

I consider it the most decided and efficient remedy in all cases of tumor, be the cause what it mayj and I have found nothing so good for wounds of any description It may be proper to add, that the cure of a tumor called white swelling, given over by the most distinguished physicians as in curable. and which they decided would, without ampu tation, prove fatalto the patient, was, under my imme diate notice, effected by the use of Judkins' Ointment, and the patient is in fine health His limb affected by the tumor being restored to a perfect state of sound* ness.

Hyeeian Ttgetable Universal |j» Medicine* of the British College of Health, Lon don, which have obtained the approbation and recom mendation of thousands who have been cured, m con sumptions, cholera morbus, inflammations, internally or externally* dyspepsia, fevers, ague* indigestion, bi lious or nervous affections, and all diseases of the liver; yellow fever, gout, rheumatism,lumbago, tic doloreux, dropsy, St. Vitus’s dance, epilepsy, apoplexy, P^'y* sis, palsy, green sickness, tod all obstructions to which the female form is so distressingly liable, and which sends to many of this fairest portion of the creation to their untimely graves; small pox, measles, whooping cough, scarlet fever, asthma, jaundice,^ gravel, stone, and all urinary obstructions; fistula, piles, strictures, ruptures, and syphilis in all its stages; constipated bow eln, worms, scurvy, itching* of the skin, king s eyi, and all cutaneous disorders; in short, every complain to which the human frame is so direfully subject, un der all their varied forms and names; as the Hygeian conviction is, that man is subject to ons only real mean,-that is, TO THE IMPURITY OF THE BLOODi -from whence springs every complaint that can possibly assail his complicated frame; and that it is the perpetual struggle of this vital, pure stream of life, (the gift of Almighty power) to disencumber it self of its viscous, acrid humours, with which it has be come commixed, through the negligence of parents; j the ignorance or maltreatment of the Doctors; or the vicious or gormandizing propensities of us all. This valuable Medicine, being composed only ot vegetable matter, or medicinal herbs, and warranted, on oath, as containing not *ne particle ofmercuna, mineral, or chemical substances, (all of which are un congenial to thf nature of man, and therefore destruc tive to the human frame,) is found to be perfectly harmless to the most tender age or weakest frame, un der every stage of human suffering; the most pi asant and benign in it- operation, and at the same time the most searching out the root of every complaint, how ever deep, and of performing a cure, that was ever offered to the world. This wonderful effect, too, is produced by the least trouble to the patients, by merely swallowing a certain number of small pills, and being called a few extra timeato the purposes of eva cuation, with the feast possible sensation of pain, or exhaustion of bodily strength, and without the tear of catching cold, or attention to dress or diet, in any way different from their accustomed habits. These pills cure all cases, and cannot be taken to excess ExDerience, which is the touchstone of all human knowledge, has long borne testimony to tlie fact; and extensive use of them has already verified its truth in this country. These medicines cure by purging; and yet the weafc, the feeble, the infirm, the nervous, the delicate, are in a few days strengthened by their operation, beca ise they clear the body of its bad humours, and invariably procure sound sleep. They are the safest and most efficacious menicine to take to sea; preventing scurvy, costiveness, &c. The Vegetable Cleansing Powders are of great as sistance to patients, and facilitate the evacuation of bad humours; they soften, cleanse, and detach the acrimonious phlegm; are cooling, and allay the thirst. One, two, or three powders may be taken throughout the day; mixed in half a wine glass of water. Extract of a Letter to Dr. Moat. Sib The motive which ha^ induced me to writethis letter to you, is, that I might be instrumental in the recommendation of Morrison’s Universal Vegetable Medicines to the afflicted, which, by the Divine bless* ing, has cured me of the Scarlet Fever* My case was as follows: Whilst returning from Washington to Alex andria, l was taken very ill, which obliged me, on my arrival, to retire suddenly to bed, but could not sleep, and the next day my throat became so much inflamed, that I could scarcely swallow; and my face, breast, and body, presented evident symptoms of the great dan ger was in, and 1 knew not what to do; Calomel or Mercury I abhorred as poison, and therefore desired no assistance from the Druggist; but my mother, who had experienced th good effect of the Hygeian Pills in a case or two of her own, most strenuously advised me to try their virtue, which, with reluctance, l con sented to, and commenced by taking eight No. 1 pills at night, and eight No 2 the next morning, and con tinued taking, increasing daily, morning and evening, until I took sixteen No. 2 at a lime, which were dis solved in water, as, by means of my sore throat, I could not otherwise swallow them. I confess the dose made me feel somewhat qualmish, &c.; but the pills and the powders, of which l took one or two tea-spoonsfull a day, operated well, and the final result was, that l fell mto a sound sleep, of which I had been deprived, and the next morning awoke in a state of perspiration, freed from fever, cool and comfortable, and my reason (,for I had been deranged in mind) retutned; and on the 9th day from the time w’as first taken, I left my room, and have ever since enjoyed better health than I did before. You have my leave to make what use you please of this. I wish you success, and am, sii*, your obedient friend, MARY ANN FOWLER. Alexa. 1). C> March 14. 1833.
