Few men in the community have a greater contempt for nostrums in general than myself. Patent medicine and catchpenny, with me, have been synonymous. I am constrained, however, to relinquish these sentiments as respects Dr. Rogers’s Vegetable Detergent, the effects of which I have recently witnessed. 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. I communicate this with a view of usefulness, and sincerely hope that such persons as have complaints similar to the above, will make a tri al of the medicine. Gideon Lbfj.’5

ON Tuesday morning, between Fredericks burg and my plantation, in the upper end of Stafford, a NEGRO MAN, and the MARE on w hich he was riding, both belonging to me, j were stolen by a man who seems to have been j a stranger in this part of the country. When, seen in possession of the Slave and of the Mare, j he was inquiring his way to Stafford Court-j i House. He is described to me as a person be tween fifty and sixty years of age, with re- I mark ably White hair; his stature stout and well j set. He wore a brow nish colored stuff cloak. The negro is between twenty-five and thirty j years of age, as well as is remembered; stout in j 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 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 j spot of white about her, unless perhaps there j 1 may be some few white hairs in the centre of i the forehead, not covering more than the size of j a four-pence-halfpenny. She is, as well as is i recoueuieu, gUIJlg UIl ^evcii ^ciwn vm 10 i v mark ably long in her body; has along tail, and it is remarkable where it joins the rump. There 1 may be discerned in the film of one of her eyes an incision which was made a year or two ago j to cure the hooks. I One Hundred Dollars Reward will be given for 1 therecovery of the above Slave and Mare, or in the proportion of four and two for the recovery of i either. JNO. TAYLOE LOMAX.

THE GAZETTE: By EDGAR SNOWDEN, Terms. Daily paper $8 per annum. Country paper 5 per annum. The ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE for the coun try is printed on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. All advertisements appear in both papers, and are inserted at the usual rates. TO MY FELLOW-CITIZENS OF THE FIFTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. The great principle upon which every Repre sentative in this free Government is bound to his constituents by a responsibility to them for the purity of his motives, and the integrity of his public course (directed by their interests and instruction) brings your representative before you, for justification or condemnation of that course, under circumstances of unusual provo cation and necessity. It must be known to all of you, that I have been wantonly assailed by a committee oppos ed to the present administration of the Govern ment deputed in a great part, from a neghboring Congressional District; and that at a public meet ing convened without the limits of my district, upon the report of this same committee, with out evep the means or opportunity of a hearing on the part of myself or friends, that meeting has pronounced me subservient and unfit to be the representative ot a free and enlightened people. This denunciation it will readily be perceived, atfects you as well as myself, and if they generously concede to you, the same mea sure of light and freedom of which they boast themselves, it will follow that I am not worthy of the high relations in which I am placed to you, and that the judgment pronounced on me is just, provided the facts and premises upon which they are based are true; and here you have precisely tne issue oeiween uirse gcuuc men and myself, as it is my intention to show to you, that where they even stated any thing that approached the truth, they have managed to distort it, and that in other instances, they have stated what is entirely unfounded. In this appeal of necessity and self defence on my part. I make no claim upon your known genei osity. 1 appeal to a loftier and more mor al feeling—your sense of justice; and upon the statement of facts 1 shall now lay before you, compared with their own report upon the sub ject, decide, between these gentlemen and your representative. 1 was elected by you, as a friend of the administration of Gen. Jackson, and as an opponent of the existing bank of the United States. It cannot be assumed, that this was unknown to any of those gentlemen. It must likewise be borne in mind, that I had the strongest indication of the sentiments ot the people by the vote of a meeting in my district, convened without regard of party, approving the course of the administration in the removal of the deposites from the bank of the United States. All this was matter of publicity in Baltimore; none of the committee were ignorant of it; and the first intimation I had of their arrival in Washington was through Mr. John B. Howell, who with his friend Mr. Shelton, from Cuba on Monday evening the 10th Feb., called to see me at my room, Gadsby’s Hotel, and were receiv ed in the room in which the ladies of my fami ly and myself were. After the usual salutations and inquiries, I asked Mr. Howell, if the commit tee for Baltimore had arrived; he answered in the affirmative and said, that he wished to con fer with me on the subject of presenting the memorial I told him that as the greater portion of the signers to the memorial resided in the district represented by Mr. Heath, it might be deemed improper on my part to present it, particularly as I understood that Mr. Heath concurred in the views of the memorialists and would sup port them, and that as I believed a majority of my constituents were opposed to the Bank, I could not give it my support; yet, if the com mittee of which he was a member, wished me to present the memorial, I should certainly do so; that I should feel it my duty to say to the House, on presenting tne memorial, tnat tne signers were respectable and incapable of stat ing any thing but what they believed to be true; but that 1 could not, in discharging what I consi dered to be my duty, give the memorial my sup port. At this Mr. Howell seemed to be some what surprised, under an imp ession, on his part, that my mind had not been made up on the subject submitted by the memorial. I re minded him, then, that my election had taken place after the order for the removal of the de posites. and by a majority of those opposed, as I believed, to the Bank, that I therefore consi dered myself bound to carry the will and wish es of my onstituents into effect, that I should be a traitor to them, if, having been elected to support the President and his administration, I could abandon the solemn pledges I gave to do so; and I did intimate, perhaps warmly too, that I would risk my life and fortune rather than betray the trust which they had delegated to me. These are. l am sure, the sentiments expressed at that time. Mr. Howell being an old friend and neighbor, I invited him and his friend, Mr. Shelton, (who was present, and as I presume heard the conversation,) to dine with me the next day; which invitation they accept ed and took thtdr leave. On Tuesday morning, Feb. 11, about 10 o’ clock, Capt. Graham, the only member of the Committee from the district I represent, called at my room; l received him as an old acquaint ance and townsman, and invited him to join Mr. Howell at dinner, which he declined. He took occasion to say to me, that a great many of those who had voted for me had signed the memorial. In reply, I reminded him of the large meeting which had taken place at White hall, at which resolutions had been adopted against the Bank, and in support of the admi nistration in its course with regard to the depo sites. He appeared to regard this meeting as of little importance. I do not recollect that Capt. Graham said a word about presenting the me morial. Being myself under engagement to meet the Committee of W ays and Means that morning at 10 o’clock, Capt. Graham left me. At that moment Mr. Hugh Birckhead, anothei of the committee came into my room, said hi; visit was intended for the ladies, and while I re mained with him not a word was said about pre senting the memorial. I also requested Mr, Birckhead to dine with me that day but he said he was under a prior engagement I then went to the committee room, and immediately after wards into the house. Mr. Howell and Mr. Shelton, dined with me agreeable to appointment and 1 trust that I shall be excused from relating the conversation that passed at dinner. I am quite sure however, that there was nothing said about the memorial.— Mr. Howell and Mr. Shelton having expressed a desire to wait on the President. 10 o’clock, Wednesday morning was appointed, and I was to introduce them. I As during my absence in the morning the Committee had Jeft their card, for me, I deemed it proper, as a mark of respect, to return the call, on the same day. I did so in the evening, and on calling at their room, I found Mr. Craw ford, the Chairman of the Committee. This was the first time I had seen him, since his arri val in Washington. Mr. Patterson and Captain Graham, of the. Committee were in the room, and General Chambers and Mr. Maxcy, as vi sitors; the rest of the committee were absent.— Gen. Chambers and Mr. Maxcy soon took leave when I had some general conversation with Mr. Crawford, and the other gentlemen present, about the state of the money market—but not a I word to my recollection was said by the Chair j man about presenting the memorial. Some other visiters to the Committee then came in, as also, Mr. Brown, Mr. Gaither and Mr. Shaw, members of the Committee. To the two last named gentlemen, I was introduced, and with 1 them, I conversed separately on the subject of I the Bank and the pressure in the money mar i ket, but I do not recollect a word being said about presenting the memorial. After remain ing about an hour, I took my leave. The next morning, Wednesday, 12th Feb. about 11 o’clock, I went with Mr. Howell and I Mr. Shelton to the President’s and after paying our respects there, we visited the Vice President, and then went to the Secretary of State’s Office. 1 During this ride, a variety of free and familiar conversation passed, and we returned to Mr. Gadsby’s. This terminated all the intercourse 1 had with any members of the Committee, from their arrival until their departure on Wednes day, the 12th February, about 2 o’clock. I have no recollection of having mentioned the name of Mr. Bibb in any manner, to any member of I the Committee, and shall for the present, content I myself with a posit ice denial oj that assertion. This is the history, to the best of my recol lection, of what took place between the Com mittee and myself, in relation to tnis sunjeci, and upon which, they have felt themselves au thorised in making the report, which denoun ces me as subservient, and unfit for the station in which you have placed me. I have deemed it my duty to lay these facts be fore you at the first moment my official duties permitted in my own name, lest my silence might be construed into an admission of the i correctness of any part ofthat report which re lates to myself. Of the justice and propriety of this proceeding on the part of the committee, the public will now be able to judge. I have only to add, that 1 utterly deny having said any thing to any member of this committee which could warrant them to infer for a moment, that I was willing to surrender my own opinions and independence, or violate my duty as a Repre sentative, under the influence of official power, or to subserve any political or party purpose whatsoever,—and to those who know how lit tle 1 could gain by such a course, and what I must loose, it is scarcely necessary to make this denial. For what purpose then, some of those gentlemen upon the list, with whom 1 never ex changed a word upon the subject of their mis sion, have by their names sanctipned these mis representations of me, I leave to others to infer, and to their sense of honor to approve if they can—my object has been to discharge my duty according to my own sense of what is right, and best calculated to promote the interests and wishes of my immediate constituents and that, regard less of consequences to myself. This was what I meant to impress on those of the com mittee with whom I conversed on this subject, and without some design to injure me, I could not have been otherwise represented. It may be proper in conclusion to say, that however these conversations may have been regarded by the members of the committee with whom they were held, garbled and distorted as they have been, I never for my own part considered any of them official, and if the use that has been made of them is conformable to the moral and social code of this committee, I am not yet pre pared to become a convert to this system. ISAAC McKIM. Baltimore, 15th March, 1834. We adverted, some time ago, to the valuable invention of Mr. Nathan Tyson of this city, by means of which flour is submitted to a process which deprives it of moisture, and thus imparts to it the important quality of retaining its sound ness and sweetness against the action of time and the hottest climates. We published at that time the testimonies to this effect, contained in letters from different ports where flour thus pre pared had been sent for experiment; and we have now before us another, equally conclusive as to the efficacy of Vlr. Tyson’s process. It is contained in a letter from one of the most re spectable houses at Gibraltar, under date of 23d Jan. The writer says:—“Your first sample of flour, near twelve months since landed, is as sweet as at the first moment, and to prove the fact of its goodness, I have taken a barrel or two for my family use.” There can be no doubt of j the value of the invention, particularly in its ap plication to flour intended for voyages or hot climates; and to the millers of the West, who send their flour to New Orleans for a market, it strikes us as offering an advantage of the first importance.—Ball. Amer. Any reason but the true one!—The Jackson po liticians in Weathersfield, say all the distress in the country arises from overtrading in onions— those of Machias, to headlong speculations in fruit and timber, birch brooms and potatoes— while those of Lynn, are ready to take their oaths that it springs from investing funds at exhorbi tant prices, in shoe-pegs. None of the party” are willing to admit (publicly, though many do privately,) the strongand incontestible truth that Gen. Jackson has declared war upon the cur rency, and that hence arises all our existing dif ficulties.—X. Y. Gaz. Anti-Bank Meeting.—Faneuil Hall* was crowded to excess last evening. Long before i 7 o’clock the galleries, lower floor and stair i ways were filled by the bone and muscle” of I the community, and in the street there were at least a thousand people pressing to obtain ad I mittance. Among this large congregation were a considerable number of over-zealous friends of the Bank; aad at the early part of the even ingthe proceedings of the meeting were much interrupted by these individuals, some of whom i were severely handled by their political oppo nents. There was much fighting and confusion at one time; many hard knocks were inter changed, and we saw several persons rush into the street, their faces covered with blood. It was a sorry spectacle, but not altogether unex i pected. Having been unable ourselves to ob j tain a good place in the Hall, we are ignorant of what was said by the speakers. We" under stand, however, that the meeting was addressed by Messrs Adams, Howard. Greene, Buffington, O’Brien, Lovell, James, Thomas, and other i gentlemen, and that the resolutions offered at the previous meeting were adopted by accla mation.— Boston Gazette. COL. JOHNSON. The following letter from Col. Johnson is in response to that of a committee of the democra tic members of the Kentucky Legislature, Messrs. Willis, Wingate, and Phelps, announc ing to him their proceedings, and nominating him as a candidate for the Presidency. The sentiments contained in the lettei aie modest, clear and unexceptionable, and are character istic of his whole life. He submits all claims to office to the decision of the people; and with their decision he will be content. The people will sustain the just claims of those, who have fought and bled in vindication of their rights— and no one, save Andrew Jackson, has a stron ger claim upon the nation in this respect than Richard M. Johnson. In speaking thus’high of the claims of our own fellow-citizen, for the highest office in the Government, we do not intend to disparage, in the least degree, the high claims, also, to that office, of our enlightened, patriotic and perse cuted Vice President. Upon this subject, how ever, as we have heretofore expressed our sen timents, we stand pledged to support the candi dates for the President Vice President, who may be nominated by the regular democratic National Convention.— Frankfort (Ky.) Argus. City of Washington, 17th Feb., 1834. Gentlemen:—I have received your favor of the 5th, enclosing the proceedings of the mem bers of the Kentucky Legislature friendly to the present administration, &c. recommending me to the consideration of the citizens of the U. States as a candidate for the Presidency. The acts of my public life have resulted from the conviction of my best jugment, as. to the faithful discharge of my public duty to my coun try, without regard to personal elevation. If they have met with your approbation and the approbation of my fellow-citizens, especially in my native State, Kentucky, I have in that cir cumstance an ample reward. To any thing beyond my present situation, I have never as pired. So far as my humble ability may be useful, I am at the service of my country. Be yonu me puuuc gouu, ui which uuieis uie iiiuic competent than myself to judge, I have no de sire ever to be named; for public employment has always been to me a burthen; and where re-1 sponsibility is increased and enlarged, that bur then must be proportionably increased. I have uniformly thought that the office of President, was neither to be sought, declined, nor desired. For the good opinion of those on whose behalf yoii have addressed me, the deepest gratitude will ever be cherished, and with which you have communicated their proceedings, you will please accept my thanks. With great respect, your friend and fellow citizen, RH. M. JOHNSON. Messs. Wm. T. Willis, Cyrus Wingate, Jef ferson Phelps.

LOT of prime selected Clover Seed for sale by J. J. H. JANNEY. The Writings or George Washington, being his Correspondence, Addresses, Messages, &c. &c. with a life of the author; by Jared Sparks; vols II and III: Boston, Russell, Odiorne& Met calf, and Hilliard, Gray Co.—In point of ty pographical embe,lishment and execution, these volumes are worthy of the matters and the name they are meant to illustrate. They are, in truth, admirable. Vol. I, to contain a life of, Washington, is to be published while the work, which may extend to twelve volumes, is in pro gress. Of the two now given to the public, vol. II is occupied with letters and papers written by Washington before the American Revolution, and relate chiefly to the French war of 1756, in which he was so largely and so actively engaged. The whole of his career, from the time he joined Braddock till he retired from the army, is here recorded by himself. In an Appendix there is an elaborate and well reasoned article by the Editor, completely exonerating W ashington from the only charge ever brought with any plausibility against his honor and good faith as a soldier—that of having commanded his troops, being then only 22 years of age, to fire on a French detachment by Jumonville, sent to him, as the French alledge, with a flag of truce; in the act of reading a peaceful summons to him to retire from lands claimed to be within the French limits, Jumonville fell. This story, founded originally upon the exaggerated report of a runaway French soldier, is most conclu sively disproved; it is shown that in firing on Jumonville’s detachment, which had been lurk ing for some days around the camp of his own feeble band, Washington “did no more than execute the duty of a vigilant officer, for which he received the unqualified approbation of his superiors and of the public.” Among the specimens, also given in the Ap pendix, of the early writings of Washington, there is a series of rules copied or compiled probably from various sources, entitled Rules of civility and decent behaviour in company and conversation We will, if we can find room to-day, annex some of these rules—if not, at some other time—as they manifestly exer cised no little influence in the formation of Washington’s character. Vol. 111., which commences the correspon dence and pa pecs, relative to the Revolution, opens very appropriately with Washington’s an swer to Congress, on 16th June, 1775, accepting his appointment as commander-in-chief. The volume is devoted to letters and papers written in that capacity, to other general affairs to Con gress, to provincial Congresses, and reaches to July, 1777. The political as well as personal consider ations which led to the selection of Gen eral Washington, as commander-in-chief, and the noble devotion of New England, and of that thorough patriot, John Adams, one of her chief representatives, in suggesting and con curring in the choice of a Virginia general, to command armies wholly recruited at that time from the New England States, are ably exhibit ed in a note of the editor in the appendix. N. Y. Amer. Somnambulism.—A book has lately been pub lished in Springfield, Massachusetts, purporting to be an authentic and regular account of the exploits of Miss Jane C. Rider, the Springfield Somnambulist, by L. W. Belden, M. D. A Bos ton paper says that there can be no doubt that the stories related in the newspapers concern ing Miss Rider are literally true, however incre dible they may appear. Some of them, indeed, are almost as marvellous as the accounts of tfie Sea Serpent. The following extract from Dr. Belden’s book describes a very uncommon feat of Somnambulism. A domestic with such accom plishments—able to do duty night and day. like a steam engine—would be invaluable in a public house, and in some private ones where regular hours are not kept: In one instance she not only arranged the table for a meal, but actually prepared a dinner in the night, with her eyes closed. She first j went into the cellar in the dark, procured the ve- j getables, washed each kind separately, brought in the wood, and made a fire. While they were being boiled, she completed the arrangements of the table, and then proceeded to try the ve getables, to ascertain whether they were suffi- i cientlvr cooked. After repeated trials, she ob served the smallest of them were done—she took them up, and after waiting a little, said the rest would do, and took them up also. They were actually very well cooked. She then re- j marked to S., a little girl in the family, ate milk, i and procured a bowl for her: she also procured i one for herself, and ate it. As the family did i not seat themselves at table, she became impa- tient, and complained that the men never were j ready for their dinner. While engaged in her j preparations, she oberved a lamp burning in the 1 room, and extinguished it, saying “she did not know why people wished to keep a lamp burn ing in the day time.” On being requested to go to bed, she objected, alleging, as a reason, that it was day, but was persuaded to do so, by be ing reminded that she was not well, and that sleep would relieve her head. In the morning she appeared, as usual, totally unconscious ot the transactions of the preceding night.” A still more wonderful account is given of her being able to read with her eyes shut, and while fast asleep, and of her learning to play back gammon in that state, in two or three lessons, so well as to be able to beat the Doctor himself, who is quite a proficient at the game. Perform ances of the latter description have been gene rally thought peculiar to the somnambulism pro duced by animal magnetism. One of the prin ciples of that science—according to the Ency clopedia Americana—is “that the brain, the pe culiar seat of the higher faculties, rests during somnambulism, but that the vital power of the stomach is heightened so much that it can sup ply, in a great degree, the place of the brain, and afford the means of perception. Hence a letter placed on the stomach of a person in the state of somnambulism, can be read by him!”— This would be a great advantage to readers of newspapers at the present time. One might then be able to keep pace with the reports of the proceedings of Congress, Bank and Anti-Bank meetings, &c. Afterreading all day, the quid nunc might get himself magnetized on retiring to bed, tie a bundle of newspapers on the pit of his stomach and spell them all through during his somnambulary slumber. It would be a great saving to the eyes too—and spectacles would not be required.—Balt. Gaz. IIoxc to get over a difficulty.—A gentleman, whose name we shall call Smith, in a certain town in this State, not long since was so enrap tured with the character of the present Vice President of the United States, that he resolved to name his next son, Van Bcren Smith.

ALEXANDRIA^* WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH p, THE YORK (PA.) PROCEED^gT^ In yesterdays Gazette, in our summary of proceedings of Congress of the day before stated the presentation to the Senate 0f a of resolutions from York countv Pn J ‘'■gnly ip decorous in their language. Of the natur the aspersions which they cast, some Jd„ mentmay be formed by the following.,, 5 from what they contain. One word in conclusion: Daniel \\*Hi now a Senator and a champion of the Bai1 r at its creation, a member of the House ofn' sentatives. Then the Bank was not his r^ and he was opposed to it.

He tL,, gold and silver currency was the law ot V. land at home, and the law of the world ai and that, in the present state of the world p could be no other currency.’ The Globe states that this paper was j; warded by Adam King, late a member of gress, to the Vice President, to belaid l,H, the Senate. In running his eye over the pan.. Mr. Van Buren discovered a personal a!!u' to Mr. Webster, speaking of his having re led fees from the Bank,'and his changin* opinions in regard to the utility of ~i, tion. Mr. Van Buren, we learn from soinev"; were at the Senate before it convened, calk-.' Mr. Webster’s attention to the passage and \C' showed it to Messrs. Wilkins and McKean These last named gentlemen, as represent;* the State of Pennsylvania, from a sense ofdt cacyto Mr. Webster, made a mark around V obnoxious resolution and drew a pen aero*- to indicate that so much of the paper should w»* be read. Mr. Poindexter, after thereadin*: the paper was concluded by the Clerk, to from his desk—declared the paper oueht no to be received—and with the leave of Mr. \\V ster, read to the Senate the passage omitted the reading by the Clerk.” The Telegraph says:—Mr. Webster present a counter memorial from a considerable mar. ber of respectable gentlemen of York coantv who were at the meeting, stating that the n morial was to a great extent untrue, as to mat ters of fact, and that it was rejected at the me*: ing by a vote of at least three to one.

The Reports of the Committees appointed u visit the President, have so displeased f/jaf/iig’ officer, that the following official announcers has been made in the Globe: The President, we understand, has put a. end to this new mode of operation, by infoir. ing Mr. Watmough, who proposed to introd another Philadelphia Committee, that he w" cheerfully see the gentlemen as visiters and dividuals, but not as a committee—that he won' respond to any inquiries the Committee n.. make in writing, if submitted to him in wriL. but he would hold no conversation with fc for the purpose of being reported from memr: because his views and opinions had a r been subjected to misrepresentation, which felt himself bound to guard against in thb way for the future.” Who does not see into this?

PUBLIC ATTENTION IS rvspectfullv solicited by the subscriber, to »n in valuable preparation, the merits of which have keen tested by time, and are sustained by undouDted ‘“dTrELFE’S botanical drops every year increasing iheir long established repu* tation. Thev have outlived many rival preparations, and are continually gaining upon public confidence. The Botanical Drops have been successfully admin istered for mam 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 vanous and distressing shapes of Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Leprosy, St Anthony's Fire, Fever Sores, White Swellings, Scurvy, Foul and Ob^ stinate Ulcers, Sore Legs and Eyes, Scald Head, 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. Relfe's Botanical Drops are successfully used in cases of violent eruptions after the measles—red blotches—pimples on the face—festering emotions on the skin_and other diseases of the external surface; and are one of 'he best Spring and Autumnal physics known, to free the system from humors A physician of eminence, who had witness°d the ef icacv of this article, had the candor recently to ack powledge 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. THOSE 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 Dentrifice is exempt from acid and other deleterious ingredients, which too frequently enter the composition of tooth powders in common U9e, and it whitens the enamel of the teeth without j ini11rv The regular use of this ad mired powder, by purify ing the mouth and preventing the accumulation of tartar, operates as the best pre ventive of the Tooth Ache. The Dentnfice 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 florid hue, and, by removing all offensive foreign accumulations from the teeth, preserves the natural sweetness of the breath.

IN that long train of diseases which seem to grow with the growth of civilized society, Consumption takes the lead in its relentless inroad* upon human life; yet his dreadful disorder is easily overcome in its earlier stages. It is only when neglected that it ar rives at the terrific maturity which so often baffles the sagacity of professional science. An obstinate cough is the custom^ forerunner of the pulmonary con sumption Improper neglect in the timely adrainis tration of rimple and salutary remedies, is sure to be j reproved by a dreadful succession of consumptive symptoms-oppression of the breast; greenish and bloody spittle; ulcerated lungs and hectic fever; shri veiled extremeties, and general emaciation of the whole body; prostration of strength; flushed cheeks; swollen feet and legs and at last, in the full posses sionof the mental faculties, and while hope still whis pers her flattering tale—cold extremities, and a pre mature death. For the various stages of this complaint, one of the most approved remedies ever vet discovered is DR. RELFE'S ASTHMATIC PILLS. This exceedingly powerful, and yet equally sate and innocent preparation, has effected thorough and rapid j cures upon patients supposed to have been far advanc ed ii a confirmed Consumption, and who have exhibit- ed the appearances which usually hidicate a fatal ter- J mination of the disorder. As the Pills require in ordinary cases no confine J ment, they niav oe aurainisterea wun conn lence ana safety to ail ages and clashes of people. Uuexainpled Slice-, ss ha« hitherto attended their administration in a great variety of cases; and the proprietor can refer to a multitude, which testify to their efficacy in reviving the emaciated victim from the bed of disease, and re storing him to the blessings of accustomed health and activity.

SHEPHERD’S patent specific OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,) Prepared by V. HER STOSS, near Frederick town, Maryland. Richmond. Va- July 15, lSTO THE public will be pleased to underhand that I wai 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 his name. The term of the patent having expired on the 26:h June, I have made an improvement :r. the 8ame» *n ou^u0pBnPa* tent thereon. N 9HEPHE 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 MENT, (formerly Judkins'.) When I first made and prepared this Ointment, and had, in several 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 to 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 baffled the 3kill of me dical science: 1st White swellings of every description; 2d Sore lees 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 of the joints; 6th Sprains and bruises of every description, or in whatever part situate; 7th l etters oi an Kinus. inuus cuiruiHumuc pa tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part out of water; 8th Chilblains or partsaffected by 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 b/easts and glandular swel lings, it is superior to any medicine vet known to the m-dica! fuculty It is much safer than mercurial ap plication?, (as it does not contain the smallest atom of anv preparation of the mineral,) because it does not lay the patient liab'e to injury from exposure to cold. This 'liniment has cured sores of many years stand ing. Where it is impossible or imprudent to heal the exten al sore, in consequence of the bones becoming carious oi rotten, it will stop the progress of the canes, increase the quantity of discharge, remove the offen sive smell, and ease the pains. It cutes the worst Felods and Whitlows, on applica tion of forty-eight hours CERTIFICATES. From the lion.

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 Biltimore, 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. Lee, New London, Conn. Dear Sir—It is now upwards of twenty years that I have used your "Vew 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 I 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 I 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 and ink, although a perfect copy in every other respact Finding those 1 had without this test, I be gan to suspect that 14 ail 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 Me^rs Kerris’, who assured me they had them direct from you. 1 procured a box, and on using them, found the same effects from them I had always experienced, and am so much re joiced 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 oxlt the printed name is affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided.
