ON Tuesday morning, between Fredericks burg and my plantation, in the upper end of Stafford, a NEGRO MAN, and the MARE on which he was riding, both belonging to me, were stolen by a man who seems to have been a stranger in this part of the country. When seen in possession of the Slave and of the Mare, he was inquiring his way to Stafford Court House. He is described to me as a person be tween lilty and sixty years oi age, wun re markably white hair; his stature stout and well set. He wore a brownish colored stuff cloak. The negro is between twenty-five and thirty years of age, as well as is remembered; stout in his person, and about five feet ten or eleven in ches high: lias a drawling manner of talking, and appears to be much less sagacious than he really is. His name is Jack. His dress was a blue cloth cap, a grey great coat, and his under clothing drab cloth. The Mare is a fine large sorrel, without any spot of white about her, unless perhaps there may be some few white hairs in the centre of the forehead, not covering more than the size of a four-ponce-halfpenny. She is, as well as is recollected, going on seven years of age; is re markably long in her body; has along tail, and it is remarkable where it joins the rump. There may be discerned in the film ofone of her eyes an incision which was made a year or two ago to cure the hooks. One Hundred Dollars Reward will be given for therecovery of the above Slave and Mare, or in the pro.'ortion of four and two for the recovery of either. JNO. TAYLOE LOMAX.

All advertisements appear in both papers, and are inserted at the usual rates. CONGRESSIONAL. In Senate, March 7, Mr. WEBSTER rose, and addressed the Senate as follows: I rise, sir, to perform a pleasing duty. It is to lay before the Senate the proceedings of a meeting of the Building Mechanics of the C.ty and County of Philadelphia, convened for the purpose of expressing their opinions on the pre sent state of the country, on the 24th of Feb ruary. This meeting consisted of three thous and persons, and was composed of carpenters, masons, brickmakers, bricklayers, painters and glaziers, lime burners, plasterers, lumber mer chants, and others, whose occupations are con nected with the building of houses. 1 am proud, sir, that so respectable, so important, and so substantial a class of mechanics, have entrusted me with the presentment of their opinions and feelings, respecting the present distress of the country, to the Senate, I am happy if they have seen, in the course pursued by me here, a policy favorable to the protection of their inte rests and the prosperity of their families. These intelligent and sensible men, the^e highly ur be it la ter, there will be no content, no repose, no res toration of former prosperity. Whoever suppo ses, sir, that he, or that any man, can quiet the discontents, or hush the complaints of the peo ple, by merely saying. “peace, be still!” mis takes, shockingly mistakes, the real condition of things. It is an agitation of interests, not of opinions; a severe pressure on men’s property and their means of living, not a barren contest about abstract sentiments. Even, sir. the voice of party, often so sovereign, is not of power to subdue discontents and stifle complaints. The People, sir. feel great interests to be at stake, and they are rousing themselves to protect those interests. They consider the question to be, whether the Government is made for the Peo ple, or the People for ihe Government. They hold the former of tnese two propositions, and thev mean to prove it. Mr. President, this measure of the Secretary has produced a degree of evil that cannot he borne. Talk about it as we will, it cannot be borne. A tottering state of credit, cramped means, loss of property, and iossof employment, doubts of die condition of others, doubts of their own condition, constant fear of failures and new explosions, an awful dread of the future—sir, when a consciousness of all these tilings accom panies a man, at his breakfast, his dinner, and his supper; when it attends him through his hours, both of labor and rest; when it even dis turbs and haunts his dreams, and when lie feels too, that that which is thus gnawing upon him is the pure result of foolish and rash measures of Government, depend upon it he will not bear it. A deranged and disordered currency, the ruin of occupation, distress for present means, the prostration of credit and confidence, and all this without hope of improvement or change, is a state of things which no intelligent people can long endure. Mr. CLAY rose and saitV I have been re quested by the Committed from Philadelphia, charged with presenting* thFimemorial to Con- i gress, to say a few words on *fie subject; and, although after the ample and veVy satisfactory exposition which it has received from the Sena tor from Massachusetts, (Mr. Webster,) further observations are entirely unnecessary, I cannot deny myself the gratification of complying with a request, proceeding from a source so highly worthy of respectful consideration. The experiment which the President of the United States, has thought proper to institute, on the currency of the country, has now been in ope ration five months; and never, in so short a time, has a great People been precipitated from the loftiest height of unexampled prosperity to the i lowest depth of unmerited distress and misery. Its calamitous effects are felt every where, by eve ry class, by every interest, in every section of our wide-spread Confederacy. And the evils now experienced, great as they aie, undoubted- lv, are embittered by the reflection that no one 1 can discern the period of their termination, and it is to be apprehended that still severer lie in advance before us. If they had been a Providen tial infliction, they would have been boine with manly resignation and Christian fortitude; but they are aggravated by the conviction that they are the work of one mortal man, the pioduce of one individual will, prompted by vindictive pas sion, or guided by erroneous views of the public interest. The experiment, besides its influence on the general business of the country, the dismission of thousands of the laboring classes fiom em ployment, and the check on commercial opera tions and other enterprises, has occasioned a ve ry great depreciation in the value of most de scriptions of property, and especially of stocks. I should be glad to see an estimate (and it would be a most interesting and not impracticable esti mate) of the aggregate amount of national and individual loss produced by this most im provident measure, in the property, business, and capital of the country. I have some where seen a statement that the total value of all the property, real and personal, in the single State of New York, is estimated at eight hundred millions of dollars. It will not be deemed extravagant to suppose that this pro perty, by the operation of the recent measure of the Executive has been subjected to an average depreciation of ten per cent. Assuming the cor rectness of this calculation, the loss in that State would be eighty millions. The State of New York contains about one-sixth of the whole po- j pulation of the United States, and probably j about one fifth of the property. 11 property in other parts of the Union has depreciated in the same proportion as in New York, (and it has not been less,) the reduction in value throughout; the Union would he equal to the enormous sum of four hundred millions of dollars! More than double the sum which the last war with Great Britain cost the United States! But the depreciation in the value of capital -and property is only one, although not an unim portant item, in the account of losses which have accrued from the rash proceeding of the Execu tive. Its effect on agricultural products, and other products of industry, on the labor of the country, on commerce, on public funds, and in the stagnation of the general business of the People, has occasioned a loss scarcely inferior to that to which the capital and property ot the country lias been most unwisely subjected. And what is the remedy to be provided for this most unhappy state of the country? 1 have I conversed freely with the members of the Phila- I delphia Committee. They are real, practical, j working men; intelligent, well acquainted with i the general condition, and with the sufferings of j their particular community. No one, who has r»a hnnvt i\{ ctool ran licton to thorn without feeling the deepest sympathy for the privations and sufferings unnecessarily brought upon the laboring classes. Bolhthe Committee and the memorial declare that their reliance is. exclu clusively, on the Legislative branch of the Go vernment. Mr. President, it is with subdued feelings of the profoundest humility and morti fication, that I am compelled to say that, consti tuted as Congress now is, no relief will be afford ed by it, unless its members shall be enlighten ed and instructed by the People themselves. A large portion of the body, whatever may be their private judgment upon the course of the President, believe' it to be their duty, at all events safest for themselves, to sustain him without re gard to the consequences of his measures upon the public interests. And nothing but clear, de cided, and unequivocal demonstrations of the popular disapprobation of what has been done will divert them from their present purpose. But there is another quarter which possesses sufficient power and influence to relieve the pub lic distresses. In twenty-four hours, the Execu tive branch could adopt a measure which would afford an efficacious and substantial remedy, and re-establish confidence. And those who, in this Chamber, support the Administration, could not render a better service than to repair to the Ex ecutive Mansion. and, placing before their Chief Magistrate the naked and undisguised truth, pre vail upon him 10 retrace his steps and abandon his fatal experiment. No one, sir, can perform that duty with more propriety than yourself.*— You can, if you will, induce him to change his course. To you, then, sir, in no unfriendly spirit, but with feelings softened and subdued by the deed distress which pervades every class of our countrymen, I make the appeal. By vour offi cial and personal relations with the President, you maintain with him an intercourse which 1 neither enjoy nor convet. Go to him and tell him. without exaggeration, but in the language of truth and sincerity, the actual condition of his bleeding country. Tell him it is nearly ruined and undone by the measures which he has been induced to put in operation. Tell him that his experiment is operating on the nation like the philosopher’s experiment upon a convulsed ani mal, in an exhausted receiver, and that it must expire, in agony, if he does not pause, give it free and sound circulation, and suffer the energies of the people to be revived and restor- ed. Tell him that, in a single city, more than j sixty bankruptcies, involving a loss of upwards j of tifteen millions of dollars, have occured. Tell i him of the alarming decline in the value of all property, of the depreciation of all the products of industry, of the stagnation in every branch Ol nuSJllPSS, clliu U1 lilt? m uuiuriyun manu facturing establishments, which, a few short months ago, were in active and flourishing oper ation. Depict to him, if you can find language j to portray, the heart rending wretchedness of thousands of the working classes cast out of em ployment. Tell him of the tears of the helpless wi dows, no longer able to earn their bread, and of unclad and unfed orphans who have been driven, by his policy, out of the busy pursuits in which but yesterday they were gaining an ho nest livelihood. Say to him that, if firmness be honorable, when guided by truth and justice, it is intimately allied to another quality, of, the most pernicious tendency, in the prosecu- j tion of an erroneous system. Tell him how much more true glory is to be won by retrac ing false steps, than by blindly rushing on until his couptry is overwhelmed in bankruptcy and ruin. Tell him of the ardent attachment, the unbounded devotion, the enthusiastic gratitude, towards him, so often signally manifested by the American people, and that they deserve1 at his hands better treatment. Tell him to guard himself againt the possibility of an odious comparison with that worst of the Roman Em- perors who, contemplating with indifference the conflagration of mistress of the world, regaled himself during the terrific scone in the throng of i his dancing courtiers. If you desire to secure 1 for yourself the reputation of a public benefac- :or, describe to him truly the universal dis- j :ress already produced, and the certain ruin which must ensue from perseverence in his mea- mres. Tell him that he has been abused, de- reived, betrayed, by the wicked counsels of unprincipled men around him. Inform him i

l he reader should bear in mind, to under- 1 stand this address, that the Presiding Officer of} he Senate is the Vice President of the United States.—Reporters. Is that all efforts in Congress to alleviate or terminate the public distress are paralyz ed and likely to prove totally unavailing, from his influence upon a large portion of the mem bers, who are unwilling to withdraw their sup port or to take a course repugnant to his wish es arid feelings. Tell him that, in his bosom alone, under actual circumstances, does the power abide to relieve the country; and that, unless lie opens it to conviction, and corrects the errors ofhis Administration, no human ima gination can conceive, and no human tongue can express, the awful consequences which may follow. Intreat him to pause, and to reflect thai there isa point beyond which human endurance cannot go, and let him not drive this brave generous, and patriotic people to madness unc despair. Mr. President, unaffectedly indisposed, and unwilling as l am to trespass up- n the Senate, J could not decline complying with a request ad dressed to me by a respectable port ion of my fellow-citizens, part of the bone and sinew o the American public. Like the Senator from Massachusetts, who has been entrusted with the presentation of their petition to the Senate, found them plain, judicious, sensible men, clear ly understanding their own interests, and, with the rest of the community, writhing under tlu operation of the measures of the Executive. 1 1 have deviated from the beaten track of debate in the Senate, my apology must be found in the anxious solicitude which I feel for the conditior of the country. And, sir, if I shall have beer successful in touching your heart, and exciting in yrou a glow of patriotism, I shall be most hap py. Vou can prevail upon the President tc abandon his ruinous course; and, if you will ex ert the influence which you possess, you wil command the thanks and the plaudits of a grate ful People. The memorial was then referred. To the People of the United States. LETTER VI. Fellow Citizens: In rriy last letter, I reached the period in my narrative when the President’s agent returnee from his mission to the state banks, and wher his report was placed in the President’s hands I might, if at all needful to my defence, here no tice various incidents that occurred between tht 23d of July and the 9th of September. There is but one, however, which I feel myself at liber ty’ to notice at present; and that liberty I take, in _^ f i-MiUli/kniinn f o n i nci/l iaiic VJ 1 ui^ |;ui;uv>wuuxi v* 11 v* article in tlie official paper ofthe 7th of Febru ary last, founded upon a passage in my letter tc governor Tazewell. In that letter I mentioned my previous unwil lingness to give a full exposition of the incidents of my brief official career; but added that I would so far depart from the rule ofsilence as to state the true nature of the service which I had been required to perform, especially as the offi cial reasons given for its execution did not af ford such an explanation. That the true nature ofthe service was not to substitute one fiscal agent for another, but to pervert a power reser ved by law for the public protection into a wea pon to punish the legitimate fiscal agent, at such a time, and in such a manner, as to evade legis lative and judicial action. The official paper of the 7th ultimo, perceiv ing the position in which the President was thus placed, relative to the other two co-ordinate branches of the government, put forth a publi cation to mislead the public mind, and to excuse the President for not having awaited the action of congress. 1 propose, in the present letter, to examine this publication. .My explanation to governor Tazewell is de scribed. in the official publication referred to, as Mr. Duane’s second thoughts;” by which it is meant, i presume, that i had not before thought of what 1 had then stated. But it is barely ne cessary to read my letter to the President of the 10th of July, in order to perceive, that I then gave to him the very thoughts” which, in Ja nuary following, i very briefly expressed to go vernor T azewell. It is in the next place said, that my explana tion to governor Tazewell is a revelation;” and this is correct, if the assertion means, that it is the first public exposition of what had not been before stated. In December last, I had de clined to reveal some incidents which I have now mentioned; and 1 now forbear to state par ticulars which I may hereafter refer to; but my correspondence with the President shows that I might have long since disclosed what is now re lated. I declined, however, until compelled to do so in self-defence. It is further said, that I have added a new rea son for refusing to r emove the deposited to those given in my letter to the President of the 21st of September last; but it will appear, on an exa mination of that letter, that tliis is a fallacy. It is true, l did not say in my letter to the Presi dent—“ Sir: You required me to remove the de posites, in order to forestall the action of Con gress;” the occasion did not call for that mode of expression, and courtesy forbade it. But I stated the fact in a different way; I refused to remove the deposites, because Congress and the judiciary ought to be resorted to and both were shunned. The official paper then insinuates thatmv ex planation to Governor Tazewell was intended to operate on the pride of power in Congress.— That it ought so to operate, is true; but that it was designed for that end, is unfounded. My object in showing what was the true nature of the service required of me was, to* prove that l could not execute it without detriment to the public and reproach to myself, and that my course was not unworthy of the approbation of the citizens of Norfolk. We have understood,” says the official pa per, that Mr. Duane was willing to fix a (lay after the meeting of congress, on which he would remove the deposits, in case Congress did not act upon the subject. And we know that some of those in favor of the removal, and among others the agent employed in making preparation for the transfer, were persuaded that Mr. Duane was sincere and honest in mak ing this proposition, and entered into his views; but the President saw that it was utterly incon sistent with the principles which Mr. Duane had previously laid down in writing, as those which would direct his conduct, and he considered the proposition as a mere finesse for the benefit of, the bank, and treated it accordingly.” I shall not here stop to comment upon the Pre sident's secret sentiments respecting me, which seem to have been so well known to “the agent” ind others,” writers for his official paper, but kvill show what was my proposition. When it was known early in September that persisted in my refusal to remove the deposites, md even hesistated whether my duty to the j jountry did not forbid a surrender of the post n my care; some of the members of the cabi let appeared to desire that a middle course night be pursued. Whether I would fix upon l day, on which f would remove the deposites, ifter the meeting of congress, in case that body hould not act on the subject. Whether this in quiry was or was not made with a view to explanation with the President, I do not know j but when I was requested to state my sentimen in writing, I did so in a letter, dated Sep ten, h!* 8th, of which the following is an extract: My conviction has been and is, that no C(lu, for a change of the depository dots e.vist 77 as warrants the exercise of the power confm7 on the secretary of the treasury; that, until adl quale cause to change shall arise, it will be his d j ty to deposite as at present, unless congress si 7 otherwise direct. So that 1 can give no 7 1 ranees but these; I will change the depository^11 soon as congress shall direct me to do so, or 7 soon as such cause shall arise as will, in 7 judgment, justify the act; but, if congress si 7 not sanction the removal of the deposites (7 is, do so previous to removal) 1 am not at 1,77 to say, that 1 will act at a given time; lor I do ,7 know that at that time there will be any n)7 reason than there is now for a change. “This is the result of reflection. I win r, ri pectfully and without bias listen to what may said hereafter; but 1 have no expectation ofV i rying in the least from my present position I am willing, and ready, and anxious to n ■j home, as soon as the President shall say >7 j is his preference, rather than do what 1 sbou1** i ever after regret and condemn.” Fj Thus it appears, I refused to fix a day. co sented to remove the deposites in ca*e coni/,e desired it, and stated my readiness to retire i 1 soon as lie expressed his preference for tv i course. Here I might rest my defence, but cor sider it a duty to proceed. In my letter of the 10th of July. I said, ti r i to justify my own act in removing the d*7». I must rely on my own reasons and not on t(7? I of others, obviously alluding to the offer i ,7 to me by the President of his reasons, in ca.7 j should not consider my own sufficient. The o; ficiai paper, however, says, 1 refused toactev* upon reasons legislative” or executive." t7 is not only contradicted by the proposition a: .jvV quoted, but by the whole course of my white,, and oral discussion with the President; it. controverted by what l stated to the leuai ajv. ser of the President, my sucessor in office, at, interview had with him by the desire of the P;, sident himself. And to show more j>recise!vthe nature of my argument, i quote the follow.;,, passage from a paper drawn up on the 19th of July for the purpose of meeting the President statements:— You [the President] are of opinion that there is a radical error in my view of that part f tne subject discussed, which relates to a ref-ivi.cc 1 of the question of the deposites to the next Con gress. In order to demonstrate my error, you ask, whether the deposites can be re moved except by the Secretary of the ry? to which there can be no other reply than that the Secretary alone can remove them.— You, then, however, inquire whether Coiilt* can make any provision for a deposit jftiu* lie money before its removal? to which you re ply it cannot, and that a removal, therein must be the first step. In this, however, I ca:> not concur; on the contrary. I am >atMied that Congress may control the whole matter. V conclusions are that the existing grounds for re moving the deposites are sufficient, and that, far, Congress have nothing to do \uth the qur: tion; that it would be throwing on them a tv 1 sponsibility, not belonging to them but to ae ther branch of the government; that when change shall be made, it will be time enoivi submit it to the revision of Congress, butr until the change be made they cannot act. B Sir, I cannot concur in this view of the suty the positions assumed, I humbly conceive, untenable. The bank charter reserves to C gress the right to decide after removal, wh-" the removal was proper or not.. So that lr spectfully contend that Congress nave a right: decide whether a removal should or should! be made at a future day, for they are tojiu of the reasons. Nor do i admit that theivsp sibility rests upon the executive branch of t government; on the contrary you grant, in j letter of the 29th of June, that the Secretary the Treasury has by law a discretion, which may use independently. Independently whom? Surely of every authority but tin the law, and of Congress to whom his co:idu is to be submitted. I may, indeed, he in er. but it would appear to me to be at least sin: lar, that the Secretary of the Treasury shn be clothed with a power, which his super could not exercise, guide, or control wir:i*»u? previous action; that if they should t; ink public funds in danger, they could not pro: them, if he thought otherwise. According my impressions, the power of Congress miH wholly unsuited to its objects, if it may r* 1 exercised to instruct its agent to do, oi do, or not to do, the act for which, ii done, v obliged to give them his reasons. So that in absence of all necessity, I desire to 'iihnrf question of the removal of the deposites. <i[/! to those who are to decide upon it of last Whether I was correct or not. those were positions, which 1 maintained in discussion u the President, and with the th*n attorney ral, as they must both remember.

ALEXANDRIA: TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 11, 1834. The Virginia Legislature will probably ad journ early this week. _ \Ve publish, to-day, the remarks of Mr. Web ber and Mr. Clay, made in the Senate last Fri jay. Mr. Clay’s appeal will be found all that it has been represented to be._ The navigation of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal is now open from Georgetown to Har per’s Ferry.____ The City of Utica in New York, at the late Charter election, went against the Regency. Last year the Regency party prevailed by 800 majority._ Wm. Jackson, Anti-Mason, has been elected to Congress from the district in Massachusetts last represented by Gen. Dearborn. We have received from Professor Hare, of Philadelphia, a copy of his pamphlet, in rela tion to Credit and Coin. _ The Washington Correspondent of the Unit ed States Gazette states that several members of the Kitchen Cabinet made vigorous efforts to prevent the appointment of the present Marshal of this District._ The April elections for the Legislature will be contested throughout Virginia with great spi rit and animation. We make no predictions as to the result_ Strong Testimony.—The Hon. Mr. Ma.ngom, of North Carolina, one of the warmest support ers of General Jackson’s election, made the fol- j lowing declaration, in his speech in the Senate* a few days ago: “As far as I know, 1 make the declaration un der a full sense of responsibility, this Adminis ir&UU&l iluo puv iv/i ui piiuvipu uo u ivoi principle,as a party principle, except the princi ples of elections and of office.” l am bold to say, that not a single pledge, either express or implied, by the opponents of the late and the friends of the present Adminis tration, has been redeemed. This is a strong declaration, and yet I feel prepared, when in vited to the trial, to prove it before the country.” GREAT FIRES IN NEW YORK. Within six hours on Saturday last, New Y"ork was visited with three fires—two of which a-' mounted to heavy conflagrations. The first was at 3 o’clock, P. M. in Goerck Street.—This fire broke out in a brick front two story dwelling house, No. 91, between Stanton and Rivingtou. about the centre of a block of eleven houses, owned by Felix Peltier, and occupied by a large number of indigent fa milies. The numbers extended from 91 to 101, all of which, except the two last named, were nearly destroyed, with most of the furniture, the front walls alone being left standing. Walker Street.—This fire was occasioned by the sparks falling from a neighboring chimney on the roof of No. 41, occupied by Mr. T. L. Chester. This building took fire and soon com municated to the house of Mr. T. F. Livings ton, adjoining. The flames were confined to the upper stories of these houses, but considera ble loss was sustained by destruction of furni ture. by removal, and by water. The third and last was at the corner of Front and Depuyster streets, in the extensive store of Messrs. Maitland, Kennedy Co., who occupied the second, third and fourth stories, one half the lower story, and the cellar, which were filled with cotton, pimento and wine.— The lower story was also occupied by T. L. Burlook Co., and G. L. Spencer Co. who j saved their books and papers, and a part of their goods. A small portion of the contents of the cellar, consisting of liquors, was also rescu ed. The fire first broke out of the office win dow, and extend d upwards with such great ra pidity, that none of the valuable goods above, were saved. This immense building, the proper ty of Robert Ray, Esq., was totally demolished. It is with deep regret we -fate, that another valuable life has been lost on this occasion. Mr. John Knapp, a respectable mechanic, attached to Engine .Yo. 3d, residing at the corner of El dredge and Forsyth streets, was instantly kill •d by the falling of the wall, at 3 o’clock this morning. Mr. Knapp was standing at the door on Depeyster street, guiding the pipe of the Engine, assisted by two others, when the wall fell in. Had he remained stationary, or retreated. hf» would Iihvp unhurt. His assistants jumped into the street; but he, uncon scious of its direction, ran inside, directly lin ger the filling wall, and was buried three feet 'kep. It was a great while before his remains could be taken out. He was dreadfully muti and carried to the house of his brother, m. H. Knapp, No. 69 Bayard street, for iu *arment. Mr. K. was 33 years of age. and had been married only three months. His widow n on a visit to Philadelphia. ‘n lhe early part of the tire, one of the fire mcn, whose name we have not learnt, fell from 3 ladder, and suffered the fracture of a limb.

HERSTONS near Frederick 1 town, Maryland. Richmond. Va- July 15, 1810. rwiHF nublic will be pleased to understand that I was T the original discoverer of Judkins' Ointment and sole proprietor of the patent from September. 1817, until the expiration of the same; Out, hav.ng connect^ ed myself with Dr. Judkins in the commencement,^ permitted the Ointment to bear J h* of the patent having expired on the 26thi June, I e made an improvement in the sanne’^"ouvphshI^ tent thereon. n’u OCT Imposition having been practised upon the pub lic by a spurious article, bearing the name of Jud kins* Ointment,” the proprietor avails himselt ot tne authority granted to him in his letters patent, now to call the Ointment after his own name, Henceforth it will be known by the name of SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINT MENT, (formerly Judkins'.) When I first made and prepared this Ointment, and had, in several instances, experienced its good effects, l sent it to several physicians, with instructions in what cases to apply it, who were of opinion that the Oint ment would be a valuable public benefit. I concluded that the Ointment would occasionally fall into many hands, some of whom would probably undertake to make it, and knowing the difficulty of the process -ne vertheless, it might be progated in this adulterated si tuation,asit might in some degree resemble the origi nal—ami in this way its good effects would be oblitera ted Under these considerations, I secured the origi nal and certain remedy for those obstinate diseases, some of which have so long baffled the skih of me elicit! science 1st White swellings of every description; 2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing, 3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularlythose hardened tumors in women’s breasts, which oftentimes terminate in ulceiated cancers; 4th Felons; or what some people know by thename of catarrhs, of every description. 5th Rheumatic pains ol the joints; 6th Sprains and bruises of every description, or i n whatever part situate; 7th Tetters of allkinds. In this complaint the pa tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part out of water; 8th Chilblains or parts affected bv frost. It is also one of the best remedies for hiirri9 and scalds. It eases the pain and draws the fire out in a SIIUM. uiiiw. For inflamed women’s breasts and glandular swel lings, it is superior to any medicine yet known to the medical faculty. It is much safer than mercurial ap plication?, (as it does not contain the smallest atom of any preparation of the mineral,) because it does not lay the patient liable to injury horn exposure to cold. This Ointment has cured sores of many years stand in"-. Where it is impossible or imprudent to heal the external sore, in consequence of the bones becoming carious oi rotten, it will stop the progress of the caries, increase the quantity of discharge, remove the offen sive smell, and ease the pains It cures the worst Felods and Whitlows, on applica tion of forty-eight hours CERTIFICATES.

Washington, Mar- h 22, 1826 Sir—My son having been afflicted for five years with white swelling, and having applied every reme dy recommended by the most eminent physicians within my reach without success, 1 at length procured one jug of Dr Judkins' Patent Specific Ointment, and made the application according to the directions ac companying the ointment, and state, for the benefit of the afflicted, that before one jug was used, a perfect cure was effected My son has en joyed good iiea. h ever since. I have no doubt that to t he Mntment alone he is indebted; for nothing else was used for more than nine months before the application of the Oint ment. Respectfully, ^ocke Dr. Wm.

My family physician, Dr John T Wilson, of Leesburg, Va who was very skilful and ju dicious in his practice, in vain endeavored by every means to effect a cure.

His limb affected by the tumor being restored to a perfectstate of sound ness. -v Iso that the leg of an aged man which had been wounded, and exhibited one dreadfully ulcerated sur face from the knee to the foot, and which, for more than two years, had been considered incurable, wasef fectually cured by the application of Judkins’ Oint ment. I mention these two cases, whichfellunder my immediate notice and management, as a decided evi dence of the efficacy of this remedy m cases of tumor and ofulcers; I haveexpe ienced, as decidedly, the good effect of this remedy in the cure of Felons, and of every species of fresh wound.

SAM H. P LEE. Baltimore, August, 1828. Doctor S. H. P. Lee, 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 everv 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, I accidentally saw an advertisement of yours in a New York newspaper, designating spurious imitations from your own manufacture, by having your WRITTEN SIGNATURE to each bill of directions, j and that in no instance were the imitations signed with pen and ink, although a perfect copy in every other respact. Finding those l had without this test, 1 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 none with it, until 1 came to the Messrs Keerls’, 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 se'fin possession of a medicine I so highly prize, that that I cannot, injustice, 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 orlt the printed name is affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided. 7 S.
