A young lady in my family, by using two papers, I have rea son to believe, is effectually cured of an alarm ing Pulmonic Complaint, which in all its symp toms gave evidence of immediate consumption.

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 oftheMare, he was inquiring his way to Staflord Court House. He is described to me as a person be tween fifty and sixty years of age, with 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; has a drawling manner of talking, and appears to be much less sagacious than lie 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-pence-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 of one 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 proportion 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. _ LATEST FROM EUROPE. The packet ship Sully, Captain Forbes, has arrived at New York from Havre, whence she sailed on the 2d of February, bringing tiles of Paris papers to the 21st of January. These pa pers contain London dates of the 2Sth, one day later than before received. PARLIAMENTARY DUEL. A duel was fought, with pistols, in the Bois Boulogne, on the morning of January 29th, be tween Gen. Bugeaud and M. Dulong, which proved fatal to the latter. Both were members of the Chamber of Deputies. The following are the particulars of the affair: The seconds of General Bugeaud were Ge neral de Rumigny and Colonel Lamy, and those of his adversary M. George Lafayette and Co lonel Cesar Bacot. The parties were placed at forty paces. They were advancing and taking aim at each other, but had scarcely moved two paces when Gen. Bugeaud fired and M. Dulong fell. The ball, which struck him in the fore head a little above the left eye-brow, entered and remained in the head. He was immediate ly bled on the ground, and afterwards convey ed home in the carriage of M.George Lafayette. At 2 o’clock, he was again bled very copiously, but since he was wounded his senses hud never returned for a single moment. He was still liv ing at midnight, but from the nature of his wound no hope of recovery can be entertain ed. All his friends and colleagues who had been informed of the deplorable event assem bled round his bed, and an express was sent off to M. Dupont de PEure, his relation and inti mate fri«nd. with the lamentable news, and with i a letter which M. Dulong had previously writ ten in anticipation of the disaster which has hap pened. The original cause of the duel arose out of the debate on Saturday, in the Chamber of De puties, on the subject of the late conduct of the Officers of the Artillery, and to the following report, given by the Journal des Debats, of in terruptions that occurred—[We must observe that so much confusion prevailed at the mo ment, and the report, which appears in no other paper, is said to be inaccurate:] —Marshal Soult: A military man is bound to obey.” M. Lara bit: The President of the Council observes that they are bound to obey: I admit it; but when they have right on their side, and an at tempt is made to force them to draw back, then gentlemen may renounce obedience.” Nume rous Members: Never! never!” General Bu geaud: They ought in the first instance to obey!” M. Dulong, in the midst of the noise: Must they obey so far as to become a gaoler?— (Great tumult)—even unto ignominy?” In con sequence of explanations which this incorrect report gave rise to, M. Dulong had written a letter which was to have been inserted in the Journal des Debats on Tuesday, but on Mon day evening the Ministerial Evening Journal mentioned the circumstance in the following terms: The Journal des Debats of yesterday reported an outrageous expression addressed by M. Dulong to Gen. Bugeaud. It was to-day stat-d in the Chamber, that the Honorable Ge neral had demanded satisfaction, and required a letter from M. Dulong, which will appear to morrow in the Journal des Debats.” The manner in which the step taken by M. Dulong was represented in this paragraph, in duced him to demand of Gen. Bugeaud to give him his letter back again, and place himself at his disposal. This note had thus led to a re newal ot the quarrel. Yesterday, however, fcen. B ig‘aud declared that he would accept any explanations that the seconds would con sent to. but unfortunately the affair was not ar ranged. On the ground, before the combat commenced, Messrs. George Lafayette and Col. Bacot demanded that the letter written by M. Dulong should be given up, as had been agreed upon expressly. The Messager of last evening states that M. de Rumigny replied that the let ter was at the Tuileries, and promised to deli ver it up alter the duel, whatever might be the issue of it. At two o’clock, Messrs. Lafayette and Bacot went, in consequence, to the Tuile ries; but there M. de Rumigny declared that he gave the letter to the King, who burnt it in his presence. A written declaration of the destruction of the letter was signed by M. de Rumigny. M. Dulong breathed his last at half past six o’clock this morning, (Jan. 30.) The National states, that it was Gen. Rumigny who burnt the letter alluded to in a preceding column, in the presence of the King, and not his Majesty, as stated by the Messagerof last night. Gen. Hu niigny states that M. Dulong observed, respect ing this letter being returned, that it would be the same thing to him if it were destroyed. It may be right to mention that Gen. Rumigny re sides at the Palace bf the Tuileries, as Aid-de Carnp to the King. It thus seems to have been a very rash and foolish affair—arising from a trifling cause— and proceeding to a fatal issue, by reason of a succession of blunders and mistakes. It is to be regretted that the name of Lafayette appears in connexion with such a transaction. The debate in the Chamber of Deputies above alluded to, was produced by a measure taken by the Government in relation to incorporating naval officers in the artillery, which had been resisted by the officers of the latter corps, ma ny of whom had in consequence been impri soned. The Journal du Havre of the first February, in its private correspondence from Paris says, It appears that a deplorable mania for duelling has prevailed this week. On the very day that M. Dulong was killed in the wood of Boulogne by General Bugeaud, two students who attended the lectures of M. Orfila, fought on the same spot—one was mortally wounded in the breast. This morning to my knowledge, three duels have taken place, one of which the result has been fatal; all three had there origin in politics, and in the agitation caused bv the unfortunate duel of yesterday. Again, this day the mana ger of one of our principal theatres is to fight with the editor of a newspaper, but as yet Ive are ignorant of the result of the meeting. To complete this distressing series of singular com bats, duels are again spoken of between the two seconds of the deputies, of whom one was so un fortunately killed” M. Dulong was to be buried on the 1st Febru ary, and as his funeral would be attended by the members of the chamber, and probably by a large cortege of political friends, it was appre hended that some disturbances might ensue; the government, however, appeared prepared to suppress them. The French journals are equally severe with the English, in regard to the conduct of the President of the United States, on the subject of the currency of the country. They say, very justly, that no constitutional, no, nor even abso lute monarch, would have dared to commit such an outrage upon the laws. The Marquis of Montemart, peer of France, died on the 20th, at Paris; and M. Pescatone, Secretary General of the perfecture of the de partment of the North, on the 29th, at Lisle. There has been some opposition on the part of the Chamber of Deputies to the estimates of the ministers for the public service. Conferen ces had taken place in consequence thereof.— Marshal Soult had agreed to reduce the army from 360,000 men, to 310,000; but refused to ac cept of a less number. The Times says, the a mount of the reductions already assented to is 57.500,000 fr. Let there be a little further com plaisance on the part of Ministers, and the Budg et will come within the limits of the estimated receipts. The same paper again remarks:— Ministers demand 210,000 men and say that they will resign if (he Chamber does not grant them. Has this pledge been given by all the Ministers? and if the Chamber should grant on ly 300,000 men of a juste milieu, between the Budget of 1834 and that of 1835, would Ministers resign? Verily, this conduct of Ministers, and the prodigious efforts in suppleness and sophis try that they make to ward off the blows dealt against them, are calculated to make one laugh rather than be angry. They say that 310,000 men are necessary for the honor and interest of France. And the 60,000, in addition, that were demanded, were they not claimed by the honor and interest of France? Why did they demand them, or rather w hy do they demand them no longer? There is in all this a disdain of common sense, and an audacious absurdity which ought, it seems to us, to create some scruples in the lo gical minds of our Ministers. It seems, however, that neither they nor those who share in their doctrines are disposed to recoil before such an extremity.” The Journal de Commerce, referring to the Minister of War’s giving up a part of the men carried to the army estimates for 1835. inquires “whether Ministers will not take advantage of the reduction thus made in the supplies, to pro pose to the Chamber the abandonment of Al giers, the expense of w’hich for 1834 is compu ten at tnirty millions/ it mis conjecture ne well founded, we do not hesitate to declare that they have taken the best means of comple ting the disfavor by which they are pursued.” SPAIN. The Journal de Commerce of January 31st gives the following items of Spanish intelligence from a Madrid letter: The whole capital is delighted with the nomi nation of Martinez de la Rosa, who enjoys un bounded confidence. It is to be hoped that the monarchy will flourish under his wise and li beral administration. The Cortes are to be convened, it is said, by the first of May. The news of the retirement of Zea is received with enthusiasm throughout the provinces. M. Vasquez Figuero, the newly appointed Minister of Marine, has declined, in conse quence of ill health. The Count of Toreno has congratulated the Queen in the name of the provinces. Tins gen tleman is much esteemed by the government, and it may be expected that he will soon form part of the administration. The National Guard is to be reorganised, up on the same basis as previous to the dismissal of M. Zea^but the government will reserve to it self the selection and appointment ofits officers. The government will soon publish apolitical manifesto. As the principles of M. Martinez de la Rosa are well known, there is no doubt of its being well received by the public. The King of Denmark has already accredi ted an ambassador at the government of Eliza beth the Second, as have the governments of the Hanseatic towns of Germany. The departure of a Spanish Ambassador for Lisbon is spoken of. The Cariists bands are every where destroy ed, thanks to the courage and devotion of the people, with the exception of the inhabitants of Navarre and Biscay, for the obstinacy of the in habitants of the provinces cannot yet be over come. Several individuals attached to the adminis tration. and suspected of Cariism have been dismissed. The Duke of Medina Coeli, grandee of Spain, and member of the council of regency, has giv en up for the benefit of the treasury, a sum amounting to 30,000 francs per annum. The director general of the treasury, M. Pe res, has announced to the government that the national expenses for the first quarter of the year 1834, will be promptly met; tlie estimated revenue for that period having been already se cured. Thti financial system of Gargolis is generally disapproved of. This is not astonishing, for Marling de la Rosa would not form part of a cabinet, which wi.uld announce a refusal of the engagement of the years 1820 ami 1821. Mr. Marting has always supported the principles that the nation should recognize any debt con tracted in the name of Spain by its government. Extract of a letter of the 19th inst. from Mad rid: “Two great questions are to be submit ted to the Cortes. They are the acknowledge ment of the independence of South America, and a general arrangement of the Finances, in cluding an acknowledgement of the Cortes bonds which latter will open to Spain the Stock Exchange of London. The settlement of the first question is earnestly desired by all the mar itime towns, while the rest of the country has never been able to divest itself of the hope of reconquering those vast and burthensome pos sessions. It is wished that France should be come the mediator in this great reconciliation, and I believe the new ministry will not delay making overtures on the subject. Your govern ment, having so much inter st in the prosperity of both parties, has, no doubt, meditated upon the matter, and will not sufferitself to be antici pated by England, who is always ready to take advantage of opportunities. The Queen yes terday presided at a sitting of the Council of Regency, and treated all the members with great affability. The prejudices she had enter tained had ceased, the personage of whom she was most mistrustful, she paid particular atten tion to, namely the Marquis de las Amarillas.— The Prime Minister and the Marquis have each had a separate conference with the French Am bassador. This commencement of a good un derstanding augurs well for the future. GERMANY. The hereditary Prince of Prussia is said to have imbibed liberal principles. The Augsburgh Gazette of the 26th January states, after a letter from Frankfort, that the trade of Hamburgh, especially that of the sugar refi

ners, is likely to suffer considerably from the changes of duties in Germany. Eight thousand men have been employed there in that blanch of commerce alone, many of whom have been thrown out of employ. A letter from Germany states that pi cpai ations are making for the formation of the Military Household of Henry V. His Go vernors Secre taries, etc., have taken the title of Aides-de Camp. Charles X. has, it is said, named as Grand Marshal of the Palace an old officer of ffendarmers, who stands upwards of six feet high. GREAT BRITAIN. The London dates are one day later than heretofore. The Courier says:—The French Embassy was quite in a bustle on Sunday. Prince Esterhazy, and Mr. Rothschild, Consul-General for Austria had a long conference with Prince Talleyrand; after which. M. de Bacourt, First Secretary to the Embassy, started direct for Brussels. The Sun contains the following paragraph:— “We are informed from a quarter on which we may place some confidence, that Louis Philip has received a letter from the Emperor of Rus sia of a most friendly and complimentary de scription, in which lie expresses his anxious de sire for the maintenance of peace in Europe, in a corresponding way with the King of France.” WESTERN COAST OF AFRICA. The brig Assas, arrived on the 23d of Janua ry, at Brest, from Senegal, whence she took her departure on the 3d. The following is the re port she brings:—“ We succeeded in depositing safely, at Senegal, the whole of our passengers and 150,000fr. which we were charged to con vey. On our departure we left the new Gover nor, M. Quernel, engaged in disputes with the blacks of Wallo and the Moors, but the decided advantages he had already gained over them, may be considered as having ensured the con quest of the country. Nevertheless his feeble ar my did not amount to more than eight hundred men, composed of parts of the crews of the Flore and the Assas, and the rest natives. With this handful he drove his sable Majesty from Wallo, killed between thirty and forty of his men, burnt all his villages, carried off the harvest of the year, and all his cattle. He, on his side, had on ly four men wounded; namely, a sailor belong ing to the Flore, a Sergeant of Artillery, and two blacks belonging to St. Louis.” GREECE. Advices from Greece are to the 16th of De cember. On account of the recent law upon the press, exacting heavy pecuniary security Irom editors of journals, none have appeared; we can there fore, only derive our information from private sources. It is evident that order and prosperity are making rapid advances. The plan which ihe architects have drawn up for the City of Athens has been laid before the Government, and approved. The quarters and streets of the new city are already marked out. The Atheni ans have at last agreed to all the conditions of the Government, so that there is no longer any obstacles to contend with. The residence of the Government can, however, hardly be establish ed there before the summer. A decree in the Government journal orders all vessels, belong ing or attached to Greece, to bear the flag of that country, us an evidence that they are un der the protection of that Government. The Regency hopes this will be beneficial to the ma ritime trade, which has suffered considerably of late. The Government papers contain, among other nominations, that of General Church, as Ambassador to the Court of Russia, and that of Chevalier Kenikstein, as Consul at this place.— Admiral Miaulis is named Marine Prefect. An Ordinance decrees that the several diocesses be provisionally marked out. The number of bish oprics is fixed at ten. Each circle forms a dio cess, the capital of which is the seat of the bish opric, where the monarch also resides. Each hishon is to boar the name of his circle.

In the House of Representatives on Tuesday, whilst the Army Appropriation Bill was under discussion— Mr EVERETT moved an additional clause to the bill, including $1,825 for Surgeon Beau mont, for performing a series of experiments on the stomach of a wounded soldier, in illustration of the process of digestion. The appropriation had been recommended by the Surgeon Gene ral. Allowances were made to officers of the Line for extra services, but this could not be done to Surgeons unless by express provision. Mr. POLK professedignorance of the subject and suggested that it would be better to have this provided for in a separate bill. Mr. EVERETT said his motion was made by order of the Joint Library Committee of both Houses; and the measure was recommended by the Surgeon General, and approved by the head of the War Department. Mr. JONES objected to the appropriation though small in amount, as establishing a dan gerous principle. The officer had not been or dered to make these experiments, and Congress might as well remunerate a student for his stu dies. Mr. EVERETT replied, that this soldier hac been placed under the care of Surgeon Beau mont, and he had expended upwards of $5.00( out of his own pocket, in the process of mea sures by which his life had been saved and pro longed. He might, no doubt, have left the mar to die; but because he acted, first from humani ty, and then from the love of science, and hac thereby succeeded, not only in saving his pa tient, but in presenting the most curious and va luable results in aid of the great objects of tin surgical department of the army, was he to bIX 1 ing on to explain why, at Pittsburgh the’VefJ' tions of the Bank were so great; and' wp., f u! of distres, before Mr. Wilkins left home 1 introduction of what was to us forei?r^ C( in the stock of a new Bank, the nrinr ir* ,V i of which had been taken in Philadelphia r, the increased capital of the Bank ofPiruf .?rr‘ Mr. Wilkins here interrupted, saying -V1'' men, you have taken a wrong view of t^ ject—you impute yoyr distress to the I"1'' cause—you blame the administration inste!T the Bank.

State Banks. A private agent!-a pnviv J agent!” said the President. it is not true. that a private agent was sent to the .State B;i;„ r whatever I did was done openly—no concea. ment, sir—the agent was a public agent." “Public, or private agent,” said Mr. Denny/1 me, and others, he has been considered a pm agent. No public notice w as given of pointment—the Bank was not apprized of it cially—the Bank believed the deposites wot. be removed—she was right—right to pie,/ for the event.” Mr. Denny made some renia list of the city of Pittsburgh; and after t the names of all the persons whom we nr.°" be citizens of the county, tho: not ot the c n. find upwards of 200 names which an on the tax lists, or at all known to us tl be either names of strangers, or per^o/ age or fictitious.” The President rh^n- Is not John M.

When the Steamboat William Penn” was discovered to be on fire on Tuesday afternoon, some of the me«-passengers, immediately sprung into the small boat, cut her loose, and landed themselves on shore without a wet foot, leaving all the ladies (it is understood the cook, a fe male, jumped on board without invitation) to seek the best means of safety they could find, and in some instances to perish in the attempt to save themselves. And while these same men were quietly on shore exulting in the success of their experiment, the la:H*s were compelled to spring from the burning wreck into mud and water up to the waist, and to be literally dragged through it to the shore, but not by the heroes of the boat, they “had no heart in the matter” be yond their own safety; and had the bearing of the gentlemen on board been of the same gal lant and humane character, the destruction of life must have been much more awful. These remarks are made without a personal knowledge of the authors of that “deed of no ble daring;” and only to endeavor to fix upon it strongly the seal of public reprobation, that men may reflect that however imperative they may consider the law of self preservation, its voice can be listened to only when every effort to save the life of a fellow being shali have been made in vain. But when that being is a female, entitled,tinder all circumstances of danger and distress, to as sistance and protection, it exhibits a degree of craven heartedness rarely witnessed, to aban don her to perhaps certain destruction, when an effort to save remains within the power of man.

THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 13, 1834. LATEST FROM RIO DE JANEIRO. 9s By the Ship Constitution, Capt. Dawes, of Norfolk, arrived in Hampton Roads on Friday night last,intelligence has been received from Rio de Janeiro to the 22d January. The market was much depressed when the Constitution sail ed. Capt. Dawes left at Rio, the U. States Ships Natchez, Capt. Zantzinger, for the River La Plata, in 5 or 6 days; Peacock, Capt. Geisinger> and Schr. Boxer, Lt. Com. Shields, arrived a few days before he sailed from the East Indies. We are happy to learn that the officers and crews of the above vessels were well. Capt. D. understood at Rio that the Peacock would sail for the U. S. in 5 or 6 w eeks. The Ontario, Capt. Salter, had not arrived, but was daily expected. By the above arrival the Editor of the Balti more Patriot has received commercial letters from the 1st to the 18th January.

It is quoted nominally, old 7 a S$000 bbl.; fresh Bal timore 10$000 bbl.; fresh Richmond 11$000 bbl.; —these prices nett, in Spanish money, calcula ting sales a 2 and 4 months credit. Dollars 1300 rs. each, exclusive of Freight and insurance 7$500 bbl. $3 S7—10$000—$5 75— 11$000—$6 40’ Mr. King, the new Senator from Georgia, ad mitted, in his speech in the Senate on Monday last, that in a recent journey through six of our States, he ascertained that the public very ge nerally condemned the course of the Execu tive on the remowal of the Deposites— and thought, that, had the opposition been content to call it a mistake instead of an encroachment, there would have been a decided expression of dissatisfaction by two-thirds of both Houses of Congress. Boston.—At a meeting at Fanieul Hall, 6,700 signatures were attached to a memorial to Con gress. The Camden Journal states that the emigra tion from South Carolina has lately much in creased. Extensive caravans are daily seen moving towards the South est—sometimes as many as two hundred in a body—and a majori ty of them persons who, from their pecuniary circumstances, might be able to live comfortably any Vhere.

PUBLIC ATTENTION IS respectfully solicited by the subscriber, Jo an in valuable preparation, the merits of which have keen tested by time, and are sustained by undoubted testimony _ __ DR. RELFE’S BOTANICAL DROPS are every year increasing their long established repu tation. They have outlived many rival preparations, and are continually gaining upon public confidence. The Botanical Drops have bee* successfully admin istered for many years, as a thorough remedy for that well known and prevalent class of inveterate diseases which originate from a vitiated habit of body, or an he reditary predisposition in the patient, and generally appear under the various and distressing shapes of Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Leprosv, St Anthony's Fire, Fever Sores, White Swellings, Scurvy, Foul and Ob^ stinate Ulcers, Sore Legs and Byes, Scald Read, and Yenereal Taint. In the last mentioned condition of the system, the Botanical Drops will be found to eradicate the lurk ing poison, where mercury has totally failed, and thus prevent the patient from entailing the seeds of an he reditary disease on his offspring. Dr. Kelfe's Botanical Drops are successfully used in cases of violent eruptions after the measles—red blotches—pimples on the face—festering eruptions on the skin—and other diseases of the external surface; and are one of the best Spring and Autumnal physics known, to free the system from humors A physician of eminence, who had witnessed the ef ficacy of this article, had the candor recently to ack nowledge to the proprietor, that he considered it the best medicine known, for the complaints for which it is intended, and that it ought deservedly to stand at the head of the whole class of such remedies. Price $1 a bottle, o“ 6 bottles for $5. WHITE TEETH HEALTHY GUMS. TIOSB who would retain or restore these desirable personal advantages, are assured that no compo sition can be obtained superior t the BRITISH ANTISEPTIC DENTRIFICE. This is an elegant and pleasant preparation in every respect, and has, for many years past, given universal satisfaction wherever it has been used. The Antiseptic Uentrifice is exempt from acid and other deleterious ingredients, which too frequently enter the composition of tooth powders in common use, and it whitens the enamel of the teeth without doing it the least injury. The regular use of this ad mired powder, by purifying the mouth and preventing the accumulation of tartar, operates as the best pre ventive of the Tooth Ache. The Denirifice removes discolorations, and restores the beautiful native white ness of the enamel. As its application braces and strengthens the Gums, it secures to them their healthy and ttsrid hue, and, by removing all offensive foreign accumulations from the teeth, preserves the natural sweetness ot the breath. not* ou cents None genuine unless signed on the outside print ed wrapper by the sole proprietor, T.

SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,) Prepared by C. HERSTONS. near Frederick town, Maryland. Richmond. Va July 15, 18)0. THE Dublic will be pVeased to understand that I was the original discoverer of Judkins’ Ointment, and sole proprietor of the patent from September. 1817, until the expiration of the same; but, having connect^ ed myself with Dr. Judkins in the commencement, I permitted the Ointment to bear hts name. The term of the patent having expired on the 26th June, I nave made an improvement in the same, and taken out a pa tent thereon. N SHEPHERD. Imposition having been practised upon the nub lie by a spurious article, bearing the name of Jud kins* Ointment,” the proprietor avails himself of the 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 MEN T, (formerly Judkins'.) When I first made and prepared this Ointment, and had, in st-veral instances experienced its good effects, I 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 tn make it, and knowing the difficulty of the process —ne vertheless. It might be progated in this adulterated si tuation, as it might in some degree resemble the origi nal—and 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 baffiei the skill of me dical science: 1st White swellings of every description; 2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing, 3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularlythose hardened tumors in woman’s breasts, which oftentimes terminate in ulceiarted cancers; 4th Felons; or what some people know by the name of catarrhs, of every description. 5th Rheumatic pains of the joints; 6th Sprains and bruises of every description, or in whatever part situate; 7th Tetters of allkinds. Tn this comolaintthe pa tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part outof water; 8th Chilblainsor partsaffected bv frost. It is also one of the best remedies for burns and scalds. It eases the pain and draws the fire out in a short time. 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 plications, (as it does not contain the smallest atom of «...IInn ,.f iho mineral t hpr iiicp it rlnps nnt lay the patient liab e to injury from exposure to cold. This ointment has cured sores of many years stand ing. Where it'•»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 pain9. It cures the worst Felods and Whitlows, on applica tion of forty-eight hours CERTIFICATES. From the Hon.

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 s»« i ved many a long doctor's bill by their earlv and time)> use. I never found their accustomed certainty to vary in their operation and effects until a few months past; and having, since theu, been sadly disappointed in eve j ry instance of using them, F began to conclude that you had made your fortune, and abandoned their manufac I 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 1 respect. Finding those l 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. 1 found many without this test, but none with it, until I 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 self in possession of a medicine I so highly prize, that that I cannot, injustice, refrain from giving you this information. ever offered in the District:- Jonsist ing, i n part, of Grecian, winged and plain wardrobes Gothic, pedestal end and plain sidtboa J8 Ditto, with cellaretts and marble slabs Trench and plain bureaus Dressing do with mirrors Ladies’ and gentlemen’s secretaries and book casts Pier table, with marble and mahogany ope Pillar and claw dining, breakfast car tables Plain do do do do do Ladies* work stands Shaving and candle stands Wash Htands with marble and mahogany top* Grecian sofas; mahogany chairs Music stools, bidetts, criOs, C'adles Portable writing desks, &c.

My case vm as follows: Whilst returning from Washington to Ale: andria, I was taken very ill, which obliged me, on r arrival, to retire suddenly to bed, but could not site;, and the next day my throat became so much inflame that I could scarcely sw’allow’; and my face,breach' body, presented evident sy mptoms ot the great d«. ger I was in, and I knew’ not what to do; Calomel c’ Mercury I abhorred as poison, and therefore desire, no assistance from the Uruggist; but my mother, u„ had experienced the good effect of the HygeiaoPr in a cage or two of her own, most strenuously klw'.ti me to try their virtue, which, with reluctance, 1 c sented to, and commenced by taking eight No. 1 p. at night, and eight No. 2 the next morning, and con tinued taking, increasing daily, morning and tveninc, until I took sixteen No. 2 at a time, which werec solved in water, as, by means of my sore throat, 1 cwu not otherwise swallow them. 1 confess the do>e nv me feel somewhat qualmish, &c.; but the pills and tut powders, of which l took one or two tea-spoonsfull j day, operated well, and the final result was, that I ft into a sound sleep, of which I had been deprived, the next morning awoke in a state of perspiration,freed from fever, cool and comfortable, and my reason 1 had been deranged in mind) returned; andontlf 9th day from the time 1 was first taken, I left it.) ro and have ever since enjoyed better health than Id; before You have my leave to make what u;ev please of this.
