THE discovery of the Chloride of Soda and its uses, by Labarraque, of Paris, was an addition to the resources of medicine of the ut most importance as a neutralizing agent. To counteract at once the principle of decay, which commencing imperceptibly, slowly ga thers strength, and finally destroys, is the im portant service which can be derived from the use of the Chloride of Soda, when administered with skill and care. The diseases of the Teeth being, in the great majority of cases, the result of neglect and a gradual accumulation of the principle above alluded to, it became obvious, from the earliest experiments, that the Chloride was the proper remedy and preferable to pow ders, dentrifices, &c., of whatever kind or pre tension. By a chemical analysis, it will be found that the greater proportion of the Chlo rine Compounds so extensively in use, do not contain a particle of the Chloride of Soda, on the agency of which their efficacy must neces sarily depend. This article is confidently offered to the ex amination of the public, as possessing in an em inent degree the virtue of neutralizing all that is offensive in the mouth and breath, removing soreness and sponginess of the gums,destroying the taint of tobacco, or any other effluvia from whatever cause. In short, this preparation will be found to justify the various commendatory notices and recommendations it has received.

All advertisements appear in both papers, and are inserted at the usual rates. ALEXANDRIA TEMPERANCE SOCIETY. The Society held its Annual Meeting in the First Presbyterian Church, on Thursday eve ning, the 27th ult. The meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. Mr. Hutchinson. The following Report from the Executive Committee was read and adopted: REPORT. The Executive Committee, at the close of this (the 4th) year of the existence ofthe Alexandria Temperance Society, respectfully present their. iefn doing so, we would be truly happy if we could congratulate the Society that, by the mild and friendly efforts we have used—by the light we have, in various ways, thrown upon the sub ject and by our endeavors to draw to it the at tention of our fellow citizens, intemperance had been banished from among us; and that we no longer witnessed in our streets its disgusting and5melancholy effects. But, alas! we cannot. Instead of meeting you with notes of triumph as for a victory, it rather becomes us to assume the subdued tones of those who have done lit tle more than to maintain their starting ground. At our last annual meeting this Society num bered 308: since then there have been added on ly 23—a poor result from the labors of a year; and when we compare it with what is doing in the cause elsewhere, we feel both grieved and bumbled. Some share of the blame may at tach to us; we may have wanted in zeal; yet have we not been entirely forgetful of what was expected of us: we have endeavored, by the best means in our power, to keep the attention of our public directed towards the cause which we were charged to promote: we have distri buted large numbers of temperance addresses and newspapers—called meetings ol our towns men—made arguments—stated facts, and beg ged them candidly to consider of their duty and responsibility in this matter. "VV ith what suc cess, we have already stated, so far as is indi cated by the increase of members. It is a fact, and one much to be lamented, that but tew ot tne innuenuai men ui uui uim munitv have come forward with their talents and influence to the aid-of the temperance cause. In many other places, we hear of men of the highest intellect and character, who have been elevated by the people to the loftiest sta tions in the republic, engaging with zeal in pio moting the best interests of their country by advo cating” the principles of temperance. We ear nestly hope that our prominent men will ere long he induced to follow' their excellent exam ple” and venture the opinion, that, upon a can did consideration of the subject, they will find the cause well w orthy of all their influence and their efforts. In June last, a Committee was appointed to visit Piscataway, in Maryland, with the view' of reviving the Temperance Society in that place. The Rev. Mr. Harrison was the only member of the Committee who was able to attend. He reports that he delivered an address; that about 80 joined the Society, and that much good fuel ing on the subject w’as manifested by the people of the neighborhood. The Committee have endeavored to obtain as accurate intormation a.ocie* ty proceeded to elect its officers for the ensuing j year, when the following persons were chosen: Robert Jamieson, President. Dr. John D. Vo well, Vice President. Colin Auld, John Withers, James Vansant, j Cassius F. Lee, Reuben Johnston, Jr., John Douglass, Dr. Wm. F. Alexander, Rev. Samuel Cornelius, Robert Bell and Horace Stringfel low, Executive Committee. Octavius A. Cazenove, Secretary. James McKenzie, Treasurer. Resolved, unanimously, That the thanks of this Society be presented to the Honorable Messrs, Southard and Frelixghuysen, for their very elo quent and able addresses delivered at the An nual Meeting of the Society on the -27th inst.; and that Messrs. Jamieson and Voweil be a Committee to transmit to them a copy of this resolution, and to express to them the high sense which this Society entertains of the important and effective service rendered by' them to the I Temperance cause in this town. Adjourned till the last Monday in April. From the Alabama State Intelligencer. To MR. F. S. KEY. Thanks gentle fairy, now my Album take j And place it on his table e’er he wake, Then whisper that a maiden, all unknown, Claims from the poet’s hand a trifling boon: Trilling, perchance to him, but oh! not so j To her whose heart has thrilled long, long ago, As his inspiring lays came to her ear i Lending the strangei'%s name an interest dear, j A timid girl may yet be bold t’admire I The Poet’s fervor and the Patriot’s fire;— I But ’tis not these, though magical their power, They cannot brighten woman’s sadden’d hour. And she, the happiest, has sadden’d hours When all life’s pathways are bereft of flowers, i And her bow’d spirits feel, as felt by thee That to live always” on this earth would be For her—for all—no happy destiny. Poet and Patriot! •Thou may’st write for fame, But by a tenderer and holier name, I call thee—Christian! write thou here one lay For me to read and treasure when thou’rt a way. Tuscaloosa, 10th December, 1833. TO MISS And is it so? a thousand miles apart, Has lay of mine e’er touch’d a gifted heart? Brighten’d the eye of beauty? won her smile? Rich recompense for all the poet’s toil? That fav’ring smile, that brighten’d eye, That tells the heart’s warm ecstacy, 1 have not seen—I may not see— But maiden kind! thy gift shall be A more esteemed and cherish’d prize Than fairest smiles of brightest eyes. And this rich trophy of the poet’s power, Shall shine on many a lone and distant hour. Praise from the fair! howe’er bestow’d we greet, In words and looks outspeaking words; ’tis sweet: But when it breathes in bright and polish’d lays, Warm from a kindred heart, this, this is praise. We are not strangers:—In our hearts we own Chords that must ever beat in unison. The same touch wakens them, in all we see Or hear, or feel, we own a sympathy, We look where nature’s charms in beauty rise, And the same transport glistens in our eyes. The joys ot others cheer us. and we keep A ready tear to weep with those that weep. ’Tis this that, in th’ impassioned hour, Give to the favor’d bard the power, As sweetly flows the stream of song, To bear the raptur’d soul along, And make it captive to his will, With ail his own emotions thrill. This is a tie that binds us;—’this the glow, The “gushing warmth” of heart, that Poets know. We are not strangers:—Well thy lines impart The Patriot’s feelings in the Poet’s heart. Not even thy praise can make me vainly deem That ’twas the Poet’s power, and not his theme, That woke thy heart’s warm rapture, when, from far; His song of vict’ry caught thy fav’ringear. That vict’ry was thy country’s,and his strain Was of that starry banner that again Had w av’d in triumph, on the battle plain. Yet, though Columbia’s land be wide, Though Chesapeake’s broad waters glide Far distant from tiie forest shores Where Alabama’s current roars; Yet over all this land so lair Still waves the flag of stripe and star, Still on the Warrior’s bank is seen And shines in C oosa’s valley’s green, By Alabama’s maiden sung With Patriot heart and tuneful tongue. Yes, 1 have looked around me here And felt I was no foreigner. Each friendly hand’s frank offer’d clasp Tells me it is a bother’s grasp. My own, I deem, these rushing floods, My own these wild and waving woods. And (to a poetf’0, how dear!) My own songs sweetly chanted here. The joy with which these scenes I view Tell me this is my country too. These sunny plains I freely roam; 1 am no outcast from a home, No wanderer on a foreign strand; This is my own, my native land.” We are not strangers:—Still another tie Binds us more closely more endearingly. The Poet’s heart, though time his verse may save, Must chill with age, and perish in the grave. The Patriot too must close his watchful eye Upon the land he loves, his latest sigh, All he has left to give it, ere he die. But when the Christian faith in power hath spoke To the bow’d heart, and the world’s spell is broke, That heart transform’d, a never dying flame Warms with new energy, above the claim Of death to extinguish—oh! if we have felt This holy influence, and have humbly knelt In penitence for pardon, sought and found Peace from earth’s trouble, balm for every wound; For us, if Faith this work of love hath done, Not alike only are our hearts—they’re one, Our hopes, fears, joys and sorrows all the same One path our course, one object all our aim. Though sunder’d here, one home at last is given Strangers on earth but fellow heirs of Heaven. Yes, I will bear thy plausive strain afar, A light to shine upon the clouds of care, A flower to cheer me in life’s thorny ways, And I will think of her whose fav’ring lays Kind greeting gave; and the heart’s best hour For thee its warmest wishes it shall pour. And may I ask, when this fair volume brings, borne thought of him who tried to wake the strings Of his forgotten lyre, at thy command. (Command which warm’d his heart and nerv’d his hand) Thou w'ould’st for one, who in the world’s wuld strife Is doom’d to mingle mid the storms of life, Give him the blessings of a Christian’s chre And raise, in his defence, the shield of prayer. F. S, KEY. Tuscaloosa, December 13, 1S33. Distressing Calamity.—VVe are much grie\ ed to learn, that the mill on the Opequon, neai Smithiield,commonly called Cameron’s mill,and in the occupancy of Messrs. William and James Grantham and Benj. B. Welsh, was destroyed by fire on Tuesday night last. It contained, at the time, about 6000 bushels of W heat, a most se rious loss to the enterprizing and worthy occu pants and owners. The calamity is greatly heightened by the fact, that two white boys, in the mill at the time, were overwhelmed by the fames.—Charlestown fa.) Free Press. Mr. Leigh.—It is not known whether Mr. Leigh will be a candidate for senator, next win ter, and it is the belief of his friends in this quar ter, that his business in the court of appeals, will not permit him to serve his country in the sen ate, beyond the present term.— W in. Hep. The resolution submitted in the Senate by Mr. Benton on Saturday, with regard to the me tallic currency of the country, is one of a high ly important and interesting nature, and as it apparently does not embrace any point in dis pute between the two opposing parties in Con gress, it is probable that it may lead to the adop tion of some practical measure of great nation al benefit. The defect in the present estimate of the va lue of the national coin, and the consequences of it, have been known for many years, and it is somewhat extraordinary that the serious con sideration of the subject in Congress should be so long delayed. Under the present valuation of the coins, more than half the labor ot the na tional mint is thrown away. The pieces are as effectually kept out of circulation as if they were still in the form of bullion.—Halt. Oaz. Difficulties with the Indians.—The Baltimore American says— ‘•The Georgia Indian difficulties have undoubt edly recommenced. The injunction mention ed the other day as having been allowed by one of the State judges, against the Executive agent, is for the purpose of preventing the In dians from being ousted from their occupant rights, by the operation of the State laws. A correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle writes under date of the 6th of March, that orders are daily expected from the Governor to dis regard all injunctions and mandates” as re gards Indian possessions under the new laws;— in effect, to take possession under the law, on the authority of the Executive. r«l l 1 1 1* _ _ik/v 1 r-. 1 ne JUUlClaJ quetmuu, wjiruicj me nijuiivuuiiij allowed shall be dissolved, is to be argued on the fifth Monday of this month (31st inst.) at Cassville. Attempt at Rescue.—We learn that a scene of considerable violence was acted on Saturday, in front of the county court-house. A gentle man from Maryland had claimed a runaway slave, and Judge Randall, after hearing testimo ny, allowed the claim. The officer in whose possession the slave was, hand-cuffed his pri soner, and to prevent the crowd of colored per sons from rescuing him, he fastened his own arm to that of the slave. On coming out of the door, they were at once surrounded by a mob of blacks, who attempted a rescue, but as the constable was fastened to the slave, this was difficult.— The prisoner was forced into a carriage after the officers had suffered much injury, and in flicted some blows—the driver was severely wounded with a brickbat thrown by a black man. Several of the assailants were arrested, and will be tried.—Phil. U. S. Gaz. The two Austrian frigates with Polish Exiles to the number of 245, arrived below last even ing. We have not heard that any arrange ments have been made, either by the public au thorities or private individuals, for putting these ill-fated exiles in a way of procuring a living. Indeed, at this moment, when thousands of our citizens, willing and anxious to work, are una ble to find employment, we fear that it will be difficult to provide for tills new accession. Commodore Ridg'ly despatched a barge this morning, offering to these frigates the usual hospitalities of the port.—N. Y. Amer. _ Oliver Goldsmith redivivus.—We perceive by the Halifax N. S. Journal that Oliver Goldsmith is about to publish a poem entitled—The Rising Village. There would be nothing extraordi nary in such an annunciation were it not for the circumstance that the author is a descendant of Oliver Goldsmith whose name lie bears, and to whose celebrated poem, the Deserted Village tbe new work is intended to form the sequel.— The new Oliver Goldsmith takes the Wanderers from the ‘Deserted Village’ into a new country and there establishes them in the Rising Village. Sheep Killed by Cats— The last Lancaster Examiner says:—“ Incredible as this may sound, we have good authority for saying the deed has., actually been perpetrated in this county. Seve ral cats, of the common species, with their pro geny, have for three or four years past made an old stone quarry in Martic township their abid ing place, and in that time it would seem have relapsed to the wild state and acquired the fero cious and predatory habits natural to their tribe. A short time ago some of them were seen in pur suit of a lull-grown sheep belonging to the flock of Mr. Martin Herr of that vicinity. They soon nxroi-frw-kL* it rlrn frnrofl if fn f ho rrrr*nnrl nnrl hpf'nrp “j "fctr— n--j the person who witnessed the scene could reach the spot, they succeeded in so lacerating the poor animal’s throat that it.bled to death in a short time. It required considerable exertion to drive them off. A dog, subsequently sent in pur suit of them, caught one, but would probably have been himself worsted in the conflict that ensued, had not the owner come to his rescue. It i9 said they also pursued a small boy some time ago, and followed a considerable distance, as is now supposed with deadly intent. NOTICE.

ALEXANDRIA: WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 2 15 W Wc would thank our friends in the adja cent counties to send us the earliest informatio of the result of the elections in their differed counties,as they progress throughout this month Under the plea of giving zest to their letter some of the Washington Correspondents of tj„! northern papers introduce tiie names of ladies' of whom they have heard, in the fashionable circles of Washington. This proceeding li{‘\ be as annoying as it is indelicate. Mr. Plummer, of Miss., in his gm*/speech the House of Representatives, on Monday jr formed the public, that he had been “dd)j> on the knee of General Jackson!” A VP(..f im portant piece of information, truly! Since the triumphant vote given by tj)e nate against power, that august body receiv.' the curses, loud and deep, of that pander power, the Globe. The Senate is now abused and calumniated. Two fellows concerned in picking poc^ r the gallery of the Senate, have been an by the police officers in Washington. The Administration party in the House of jp presentatives, it is said, had a caucus last uv, at which it was resolved to force the preVj0(/ question on the subject now under discussion i a few days. The return of the lour Inspectors of t Town shows a diminution of no less than l 000 barrels, when compared with the conv ponding quarter last year. The experiment has worked bravely with us. It behoves even in A lovnn/lrrn n r lurrner i: Virginia, to “hurra for Jackson!” The New-Orleans Advertiser, of the ult, states that the cholera exists in th at tv and that it owes its origin to the extreme filth ness of the streets. The excitement in Boston relative to the tempt to set up a graven image” at the bow of old Ironsides,” is very natural. Even American must share more or less in the Mr which rises indignant at such man worship i Down with the idol!

Mr. Benton— The Washington corresponds. of the Portland Advertiser, thus figurative! describes the character of the eloquence of S( nator Benton. lie is certainly, a remarkah man: Magliabechi himself was not a greater bo reader than this Missourian. But he takes tli books in as a huge cistern takes in rain from tir. water spouts—and turning the cock, out it come without filtering a straw,—mud, chips, insect and all—and this is given as beverage to thirsty people.” Mr. Brooks speaks thus of Mr. Calhoun's L: speech in a letter to the Portland Advertiser Mr. Calhoun gave us a speecli to-day, than two hours in length, which is so >o!id matter that it admits of little or no condensate. It was as compact as iron-wood, with few or: ornaments—no useless words,—and a> orig.: in thought as compact in matter. Mr. Caihi is not an orator, but he is a deep thinker. H has no eloquence in expression or manner. 1 nevertheless,, he commands a large and a m s attentive audience. The thought, and n*»t t: manner, is what brings the multitude tog.-: He has much of the metaphysics of Yirg.: and the Carolinas, with the common sei e New England. And even on nullificat on a most rational mad-man, which I account f" on the fact that the Yankees gave him an ex cellent common sense education when fa* v bojq at Yale College, in Connecticut—w;. excellent education has been somewhat "vei grown amid the thistles and briars of soiit:* metaphysics. A soil luxuriant under a sou! sun has sent forth shoots which often over-, ow the early principles implanted at Yam Hence he diverged into nullification, preached strange doctrines which we can t derstand. Hence too we have him soun-t on the question of a bank and the ciirr*-i'« and we have from him to-day a speech calm ted to do more good in the southern States t any thing which this session has called fort:: A f f lin l*if4- m Anf f's f f A l 111' 0 i of Pennsylvania, held on the 27th l i the degree of Doctor of Medicine was n! ■n students. in about the same proportion.—Halt.

I confess he has given me more insight into the Banking System—its prin ciples—Us extent—its usefulness, and its dan gers, than I have ever before possessed. For myself. I can say, though I am interested some thousands of dollars in Banks, I could rejoice to see them generally discontinued. The fact that in the short period of forty-five years, they have increased from three to four hundred and fifty; with a capital of $145,000,000; with an issue of more than $70,000,000, based upon less than $15,000,000 of metallic currency, is enough to startle and alarm the mind of any man who de sires the perpetuity of our institutions and the purity of our people and rulers. This vast and complicated machinery, under skilful management, might no doubt work well, and accomplish much good. But derange it— destroy the balance wheel, (the United States Bank)—and what fearful and wide-spread ruin may it not work! Much, however, as I might desire to see these institutions lessened, it is evidently dangerous to attempt any thing in respect to them rashly. Mr. Calhoun’s plan of a Bank of the United States, chartered for twelve years, whose lead ing object should be 11 to regulate the cui'rency of the countryappears, to my mind at least, the wisest and best which has been suggested, or could be adopted, under existing circumstan ces. The times are so critical—the country is in such a state of anxiety and distress—as to ren der it every man’s duty to inquire into the caus es— and more especially into the true remedy of the evil. This is my reason for the present wri ting. I have looked with deep anxiety, ever *incethe meeting of Congress, for some plan to be proposed, which might restore confidence to ae country. I have seen nothing equal to Mr. alhoun’s. I call upon my fellow-citizens to read it—to study it—persuaded that the more it IS COIlsiilAroH t k if ha QnnrnVOfl And if my feeble voice could be heard through out the whole alarmed and bleeding country, I would beseech every American to look, with an unprejudiced eye upon this plan for their relief, aud if they shall judge it good for the present distress,’* to join their voices with mine in be -eching our legislators to act upon it—and that speedily; or else to propose some other plan to luiet our feelings and to restore public confi dence. 1 assure you, sir, that I have no other motive 11 thus writing, than such as ought to actuate An American Citizen.

Note.—March has always been remarkable for its changeable and boisterous character— and has indeed, this month, fully sustained its reputation, so far as relates to high winds and violent gales. True it is, that it has passed off without a single snow-storm, but not without some very cold weather. On the 20th and 21st inst. there was a tremen dous gale of wind, varying from S. to NW., which caused the waters of the Potomac to re cede ao that degree that several young gentle men walked on the flats to the margin of the channel, where it appeared to be only from 30 to 40 feet in width, (at Davis’ Point,) and on the verge of it picked up copper and iron nails, flint stone, coral, clamb-shells, together with a leaden plummet; all of which they have deposited in the Museum. On enquiry, I am informed that the .tide has not been so low at any time within the memory of our most aged citizens. Herring and Shad first appeared in market, last year, on the 4th and 6th of March.—This year, on the 15th and 17th of February, being twenty days sooner than in former years. And both Herring and Shad (according to informa tion of experienced fishermen) are not only unusually abundant, so early in the season, (the close of this month) but never were in better condition. Grass, on the commons and in the fields, ap pears as flourishing now as in the middle of April, in former seasons. The cheerful domestic Martins, the harbin gers of Spring, first took possession of their summer residence on the 26th of this month. Last year it was on the 1st of April. The fore going events are considered as an index point ing to an early season. There have been but three conjunctions of celestial planets this month, and in the corres ponding month of last year there were six. It is a source from whence much satisfaction is derived, to be enabled to say, that good health prevails here and in the surrounding country. Museum. March 31sf, 1834.

The Botanical Drops have been successfully admin istered for manv 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 genera y appear under the various and distressing shapes of Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Leprosy, St Anthony s Fire, Fever Sores, White Swellings, Scurvy, Foal snd Ob stinate Ulcers.

A physician of eminence, who had witness’d the ef ficacy of this article, had the candor recently to ack nowledge to the proprietor, that he considered it tne 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.

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 use, and it whitens the enamel of the teeth without doing it the least injury. The regular use of this ad mired oowder. by purifying the mouth and preventing the accumulation of tartar, operates as the oest pre ventive of the Tooth Ache. The Dentrifice 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 inroads upon human life; yet -his dreadful disorder is easiI> 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 customary forerunner of the puimonary con sumption Improper neglect in the timely adminis- tration of simple and salutary remedies, is sure to be reproved by a dreadful succession of consumptive symptoms—oppression of tbe oreastj greenish and j bloody spittle; ulcerated lungs and hectic fever; shri J veiled extremeties, and general emaciation of the whole body; prostration of strength; flushed cheeks; j swollen feet and legs and at last, in the full posses sionof the mental faculties, and while hope still whis- I 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 yet discovered is DR. RELFE’S* ASTHMATIC PILLS.

Unexampled success hat 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 irom the bed of disease, and re storing bum to the blessings of accustomed health and activity.

SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,) Prepared by U. HERSTONS. near Frederick■ town, Maryland. Richmond. Va- July 15, 1830. THE public will be pleased 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 his name. The term of the patent having expired on the 26th June, I have made an improvement in the same, and taken oot a pa tent thereon. N- SHEPHEK (Imposition having been practised upon the nun lie by a spurious article, bearing the name of Jod' 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, 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 knowingthe 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, 1 secured the origi nal and certain remedy for those obstinate diseases, some of which have so long baffle J the skih ot me dicnl science 1st White swellings of every description; 2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing, 3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularly those 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 Tetters of all kinds. In this complaint the 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 ...El.. It aocac noin onrl rlrttws the fire nut in A OVyQ'UOi v- —v w short time. For inflamed w,omen’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 any preparation of the mineral,) because it does not lay the patient liable to injury from exposure to cold. This Ointment has cured sores of many years stand ing. Where it is impossible or imprudent to heal th#» external sore, in consequence of the bones becoming carious 01 rotten, it will stop the progress of the caries, incret.se 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. From the Hon. John Cocke. Member of the Home of Be presGntatives in Congress. Washington, Mar—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, I at length orocured 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 enjoyed good health ever since. 1 have no doubt that to the Ointment alone he is indebted! for nothing else was used for more than nine months before the application of the Oint ment. Respectfully, John Coceb Dr. Wm- Gunton, Washington City. From L P. JV. Batch, Esq Counsellor at Caw,- F. ede rick Md Frkdeuick, Md. May 6, 1831 Mr. C Herstons—I deem it proper to state, for the benefit of the public, that, several years since, two of my children were affected with scald head of an inve terate character. My family physician, Dr John T. WilsoD, »f Leesburg, Va. who was very skilful and ju dicious in his practice, in vain endeavored by every means to effect a cure. At length Judkins’ Ointment was applied, and the affection was permanently reliev ed. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, L. P. W. Balch. From the Honorable John Taliaferro, Member of Con gress. dated Washington, January 22, 1829. Sih—It has been my wish, fora considerable time, to communicate to you the good effect with which 1 have used the Ointment invented by a Mr. Judkins, and which 1 now understand is made and sold by agents appointed by yourself, I have applied this Ointment during the last three years to every species of tumor and wound, without failure to produce a cure m every instance. I consider it the most decided and efficient remedy in all cases of tumor, be the cause whatit may! and l have found nothing so good for wounds of any description It may be proper to add, that the cure of a tumor called white swelling, given over by the most distinguished physicians as in curable, and whichthey decided would, withoutampu tation, prove fatalto the patient, was, under my imme i* i.* aSaJ Ud iico 1 n,Ur‘me^ Hint rn n t U laic Iiuui/C) ^j and the patient is i n fine health. His limb affected by the tumor oeing restored to a perfectstate of sound ness. a 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, was ef fectually cured by the application of Judkins1 Oint ment. I mention these two cases, whichfellunder my immediate notice and management, as a decided evi dence of the efficacy ofthis remedy in cases of tumor and ofulcers* 1 have expe.ienced, as decidedly, the good effect ofthis remedy in the cure of Felons, and of every species of fresh wound. It seems to me that any one who wll observe on the operation of this Oint ment, must be satisfied as to its beneficial effect, lean with the utmostconlidencerecommend the use ofthis valuable remedy, lam, sir, very respectfully, Johm Taliaferro.

SAM H. P LEE. Baltiwoiik, 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 fa mi* j ly, and always found them an efficient purgative in al-, most everv description of disease, and believe they sa« vedxnany 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; j and having, since then, been sadly disappointed in eve 1 ry instance of using them, I began to conclude that you bad made your fortune, and abandoned thftir manufac ture to mercenary and unfaithful hands. Under this impression, 1 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, 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, I be gan to suspect that all wa9 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 'vith 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. 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 oklt the printed name is _n‘ l i.... anA in avoided. aillAWUt _ _ S.
