THR GAZETTE. By EDGAR SNOWDEN. P'^T OFFICE DEPARTMENT. Ih 'ori of the Majority. [continued.] It improper to add that other inquiries, infor mal as that when first presented, had been there tofore amended without objection; and your committee cannot resist the conclusion that the hesitation at first manifested, and the refusal last to answer, was merely for the purpose of gainirig time, and waiting the arrival of the contractor, (who had been subpoened by your committee) that a better countenance might be put upon it than its naked features exhibited. James Reeside is also contractor for carrying the mail from Baltimore to Chambersburg, 77 miles, daily, four 4 horse post coaches, at 1,900 dollars a year, from the 1st of January, 1832. The schedule was so changed on the 29th De cember, 1835, as to lessen the time, and, con sequently, to increase the speed; but the differ ence was so light as to be wholly unnoticed by a sub contractor on a part of the route, who was examined by your committee; and on the 18th of April, 1832, long after the change of schedule, the contract is reported to Congress (Doc. 212, p. 15) as subsisting at 1,900 dollars. In the report of the 3d of March, 1834, which professes to give all the extra allowances, there is none stated on this route, but in-that part of that report which gives the curtailment of mail facilities, (Doc. 138, p. 253,) the “increased expedition” is reduced at 1,595 dollars yearly; and, on examination of the books of the de partment, it appears that the contractor did in fact receive on that route 3,495 dollars yearly, instead of 1,900 dollars; to which sum, and no more, he was entitled by fair and legal con kl I. The increased expedition was of importance to the contractor, to enable him to compete with other rapid lines in the transportation of passengers; but it does not appear to have been of any considerable value to the public, and had it been of importance, the increased com pensation is much too great for the additional service rendered. It is stated in the report of the lStn of April, 1832, (Doc. 212, p. 2,) that James Reeside is the contractor for the transportation of the mail on the route from Philadelphia to New York, 'in four horse post coaches, daily, at an annual compensation of 6,000 dollars, for four years from the 1st day of January, 1S32. By the report of the 3d of March, 1834, the contract is stated at twice a day, and the annu al compensation (Doc. 138, p. 1S6,) at $20,500 He was allowed (p. 187,) for extra j services a yearly compensation of 5.124 i Increasing the compensation on this route from 6,000, the legal con tract, to 25,6251 And an express mail was ordered to be run on the same route, at a year ly compensation of 3,1501 Making the grand total yearly 28.775 In his report of the 18th of April, 1832, (Doc. 2f2, p. 131,) the Postmaster General states that James Clark is the contractor for carrying the mail from Bedford to Blair’s Gap, and from Blair’s Gap to Cumberland, once a week, on j horseback, from the 1st of January, 1832, to j the 31st of December, 1835, at a yearly com- i pensation of 275 dollars. In the report of the I 3d of March, 1834, (Doc. 138, p. 198,) James Keeside is reported to be the contractor for car rying the mail on these routes, (Nos. 1215 and 1230,) from Cumberland to Blair’s Gap, three times times a week, in four horse post coaches, at an annual compensation of $4,500 00 And on the 25th of February, 1833, he was directed to run daily be tween Bedford and Blair’s Gap, at an additional compensation of 2,911 78 Thus the legal contract of 275 dollars has arisen to 7,411 78 James Reeside and S. R. Slaymaker were contractors for carrying the mail from Phila delphia to Pittsburgh, for a yearly compensa tion of 7,000 From Pittsbugh to Washington, Pa., 1,250 Aggregate,; 8,250 Acs hv tha f thn 1 .QtV» r\ f A nril 1 QQO (Doc. 212, p. 4 arid 11.) In the report of the 3d of March, 1834, [Doc. 133, p. 199,] they are stated to be contractors for carrrying the mail on the same routes, and, in addition thereto, from Washington to Wheel ing, in Virginia, (which is also covered by the contract of Stockton and Neill,) at an annual compensation of 27,000 On the 5th of May, 1833, there was made on this route a yearly extra allowance from April 1, 1832, of 10,000 And there was ordered an express mail on the same route, to be run by Jamas Reesixle, from Philadel phia to Pittsburgh, at a yearly al lowance of 3,150 Increasing the compensation on this route from S3,250, yearly, to 40,150 The above are but a few out of the many contracts held by James Reeside and others, his partners. The allowances in the above cases, beyond the amount of their open bids and fair and legal contracts, is 62,316 dollars and 78 cents a year; amounting, during the continu ance of their contracts, to the enormous sum of 249,267 dollars and 12 cents, given to these contractors by the department, without adver tising and without competition. The amount of those allowances were some what reduced on the 1st of December last, in consequence of the insolvency of the depart ment. It will be noticed in these and many similar cases of favored contractors, that, where they are concerned, competition is absolutely put down, and the notice published pursuant to law inviting competition and the public bidding, are but mere masks to cover their secret transac tions. The route is not advertised as it is to be run, and before it is put into operation, some improvement, generally comporting with an al ternative proposition in the bid, is ordered, and the orignal contract is merged and lost in the improvement. The compensation agreed to by the legal contract is, in some instances, so in c*int> xt is hard,y worth adding in as an item in the aggregate allowance. to'ZS**™ thous,lt necessary, in all services as an ,l!Ven, the cover of increased cJ The lOOnn al?1, ,hese extra allowan Ree»dl Slaymaker! ladelphia to Pittsburgh, i9 whollv apology.

J incurred in the performance ol a stipulated ser vice, not for any thing done which their con tract did not require of them. The whole hard ship, too, as proved by the testimony of Ree side, was this: The mail was so heavy for three of their trips weekly, as to prevent their taking in a full load of passengers on those trips; by which it would seem that the department, after paying for the transportation of the mail on this route, something more than 30,000 dollars, was also held bound to pay the contractor extra for I whatever expense and inconvenience the trans portation of the mail might occasion him. Or rather, to give the transaction its true charac ter, this ten thousand dollars a year was a gift, out of the funds of the department, to these con tractors; and there are some further circum stances attending it, which, on the most careful inquiry by your committee, are not satisfactori ly explained. The evidence shows that Rreeside Slay I maker represent two companies, which share equally in the profit and loss on this line. The i money accruing for transportation, is received by Reeside Slaymaker, a moity each, and distributed by them to their respective compa nies. This extra allowance of ten thousand dollars was received by them on the 5th of May, 1833, and no part of it has been paid over by either of them to their partners, or entered upon j any account book of the companies. Reeside, j on his examination, stated, that they had kept i this back to pay some old debts of the compa nies which they supposed had been provided I for, but which wereu nexpectedly found to ex I ceed the sum appropriated for their payment; 1 but being specially interrogated, he stated, that this unexpected deficit did not exceed five thous and dollars in the whole, and that it was not discovered to exist until about three months af ter the first ten thousand dollars of this extra allowance was received by him and Slaymaker j —the whole amount so received and so retained by them, on this account, appears to have been sixteen thousand, six hundred and sixty six dol lars,sixty-six and two third cents. The allowance of this money and its application are alike re markable. There were also certain pecuniary transactions of a private nature between these contractors and some of the officers of the de partment, which came under the notice of your committee, which, in their opinion, merit con siaei anon. Some time in the year 1832, O. B. Brown ap plied to Slaymaker for a small loan ol money, ($300) which Slaymaker accordingly lent him, but took no note, and made no memorandum of the transaction, which took place in the presence of no one but themselves. At another time Mr. Brown asked Slaymaker if he could lend him three thousand dollars, at the usual rate of in terest. This also was promised, and sometime after, about the first of January, 1S33, Mr. Brown renewed his request, and said he had made a purchase of the property of Doctor Temple, on the faith on the promised loan. The witness stated before the committee, that at that time he had not the required sum of mo ney at command, but undertook to raise it, and accordingly did raise it by means of drafts. These drafts were two in number, for fifteen hundred dollars each, drawn by Samuel R. Slay maker on O. B. Brown, and endorsed by James Reeside, and payable at ninety days date.— They were negotiated at the Western Bank in Philadelphia, and sent to the Patriotic Bank in Washington city, for collection. They were paid at maturity by the proceeds of a draft drawn by James Reeside, on O. B. Brown, for three thousand dollars, at ninety days. This draft was suffered to pass a day or two beyond its maturity, without payment, but on the 18th of July, it w as paid out of the proceeds ol a draft drawn by Samuel R. Slaymaker, on James Reeside, for two thousand dollars in cash paid by Slaymaker, and O. B. Brown, at the same time, drew on Reeside for two thousand dol lars, which drafts were sent to the Bank of Ma ryland for collection. It appears that neither Reeside nor Slaymaker made any charge or kept any memoranda of these transactions; j that they have no note or acknowledgment of Brown, showing his liability to them, unless it be the drafts which were taken up, which Slay maker says he thinks he preserved, but of w hich he does not profess to be certain. He never theless denies absolutely, that it w’as intended as a douceur or gratuity to Brown. Reeside states that Brown paid him one thousand dol lars in part of this loan. But this transaction is the more remarkable when taken in connex ion with another, testified to by Edwin Porter, w hich w ill be found in another part of this re port. In that case, Brown was, shortly before and shortly after this transaction, the lender of very large sums ol money to Porter, on inter est. It appears that in the spring or summer of 1331, Mr. Barry applied to Reeside, in Bhiladel phia, to assist him in negotiating an acceptance for $1,000, to raise some money for his (Mr. I Barry’s) individual use. Instead of doing this, Reeside advanced him the $1,000; and he stat ed before the committee that Mr. Barry paid it by his acceptance at a short date, which he (Reeside,) negotiated in the Schuylkill Bank. On inquiry of the easier of the Schuylkill Bank, we find that no such acceptance was negotiated there. Your committee having collated the evi dence touching these transactions, leave them without comment. In some of the contracts above examined, and many other that passed under the notice of your committee, very heavy sums of money have been paid by the department, for the establish ment of a second, and sometimes a third, daily line on the same route. When the contracts for a regular daily mail have been advertised and let out pursuant to law, your committee can look upon these ex penditures in no other light than that of enor mous waste of the public funds. Take, for ex ample, the case of the contract from Philadel phia to Pittsburgh, and from Pittsburgh to Wash ington, brought up, as we have already shewn, from $S,250 to $40.150—while a single mail, each way, daily on that line, is all the public service, or the business of the country does re quire, or ever has required. Additional lines of stages there are convenient only for the trans portation of passengers, and, whenever the bu siness of the country requires them, they spring up of themselves without the aid of Government. And those opposition lines, which are got up by individual enterprise, serve the interest of the travelling public as well, and perhaps better, than the additional daily lines of coaches, all j under the control of the same individuals, which, under the name of additional mails, are sustain ed by enormous bounties out of the public purse. t The monopoly set up by the establishment of these additional daily mails, and express mails, is of the most pernicious tendency. They ena ble the large mail contractors to put down and ruin any man who shall attempt to compete with them in the transportation of passenoers- and thus, for the Want of that wholesome^competi tion which the natural course of things would otherwise create, are travellers delivered over to the mail contractors and their servants, as a kind of property, to be dealt with, and disposed of, for the time being, according to their good pleasure. It is not the purpose of your committee, by these remarks, to arraign the conduct of any class of individuals. These men, like all others, pursue their own individual inteiest, and nunj of them labor occasionally for the comfort and accommodation of the public. It is our purpose to mark the general tendency of things and few travellers can have failed to observe that the comfort and convenience of the passenger in the mail stage is promoted by the existence of an efficient opposition on the same route. But besides the general effect of these second and third daily mails to put down opposition lines, an agreement, of which that is one of the avowed objects, entered into between two large companies of contractors, each running those additional lines, and each in the receipt of very large extra allowances, appears to have been made with the approbation of the department, and filed among its archives, to be safely kept and officially enforct>d. In one clause it binds the contracting parties, under a penalty, to trans port no passengers for less than a stipulated price. It also binds them to use their efforts to put down an opposition line which appears to be established on one of their routes, and not to re- j ceive any passengers who shall have been car ried on any pQ,rt of the route in an opposition coach. _ Your committee have caused a copy of this agreement to be appended to this report, and they unite in the opinion, that as an act, coun tenanced, encouraged, or sanctioned by the de partment, or any of its officers, it is, in the above mentioned particulars, an unjust invasion of pri fa ;u the consequence of its present insolvent com’-’ tion.

I Alexandria: SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE 14, 1834. Accounts are received direct from Fort Mitch e\\ Alabama, which confirm the fact that there p3d been no cholera or other sickness among troops at that fortress. Beverly G. G. A. Lucas, Esq. Clerk of the Superior Court of Russell county, Alabama, w3s shot by an Indian, while sitting in front of his house in Macon county, Ala. and expired in ibout ten minutes afterwards. The Chiefs ot the Creek Nation promise that the offender diall be given up to the civil authorities, if he can be identified. The Creek Indians show strong symptoms of general hostility to the bites. _ _ Richard J. Manning has been elected, by a majority of more than 600 votes, over Mr. El more, his opponent, to fill the vacancy in the ^presentation in Congress, from South Caroli na. occasioned by the decease of Gen. Blair. The venerable Bishop Chase, says the Detroit Journal, arrived in our city some days since; he preached on Sunday last at the Episcopal Church. This estimable man resides in the St. Joseph country, he appears to enjoy excellent health, and amid the cares and employments of a new farm in a new countiy, he finds leisure for intellectual labors. The occasion of his vi sit to our city is in part to superintend the pub lication of j pamphlet he has prepared for the Mr. Duane is no*v on a visit to Providence, U. I. He has received many marked attentions from the citizens of that place. I it is expected that ten thousand emigrants from Germany will land in the United States and the Canadas, during the year 1S34—about that number have made preparations to leave Germany. Water Sptjut.—A violent storm of wind and rain visited Charleston on the 30th ult. in the afternoon, and continued until the next morn ing, when an unusually large waterspout made its appeal ance in the bay, near Fort Johnson, and passeJ up Cooper river. The appearance is said to have been very magnificent, and though it did come in actual contact with any of the shipping, it caused a ship in the stream near which it passed to heel considerably. The storm during the night was accompanied by the appearance of fire balls and other electrical phenomena. _ We are informed that the tempest of last Wednesday was very destructive in its pro gress in some of the neighboring counties of North Carolina. A citizen of Camden, whose name our informant thinks was Stokely, while on his way home from attending court that day, being overtaken by the storm, dismounted and led his horse into a meeting house on the road side for shelter, and while there, the building was blown down, and both man and horse were killed! The devastation in same places is represented to have been terrible: not only were houses and fences swept away like chaff before the mighty hurricane, but the stoutest trees of the forest, some of which had proba bly withstood the fury of the elements for half a century, were either up rooted or broken in twain like pipe stems.—Norfolk Herald, After a long and tedious investigation, the ilouse ofilepresentatives yesterday determined ihat it could not determine whether Mr. Letcher or Mr. Moore was entitled to the contested place n that body, from Kentucky; and the election is turned back to the People. Mr. Letcher v as yesterday within three votes of obtaining the seat; and if the members detained from the House by illness could with safety have attend ed, he would have actually been admitted to ♦he seat, to which, now the question is ended, we feel bound to express our belief that he was justly entitled, according to the decisions of the House itself.— Sat. Int. We published a few days ago a list of ten ves sels, lost on their way to Quebec, with 456 lives. The last Montreal Gazette contains an addi tional list of the loss of eight other vessels with 248 lives; making a total loss of 704 lives with in a few weeks. The New ork Jouinal of Commerce justly remaks that either crazy ships were employed, or that they were commanded by incompetent men.— Balt. Amer. A very useful contrivance, to prevent the wheels of stage coaches from coming on while running, has just been applied to one of Messrs. Stockton Stokes’, intended to run the W est ern route. The invention is by Dr. Zcllic 'li ter. We shall not attempt a description of it, but merely state that its practicability was fully tested yesterday by driving the coach alluded to through the streets, the nuts at the end of axle-trees being taken off, and the ie c on by Dr. Zollickoffer’s invention.—Am. Death by the sting of a Locust!—We are in formed that a colored boy, about 12 or 13 years of age, died very suddenly on Tuesday last, in N\ High street, O. T., from the sting of a Lo cust, in the thumb. This is the third or fourth instance which we have heard of, where chil dren have died from the sting of these insects. [Balt. Pat. Locusts.—We have been disposed to ridicule the reports circulated in the papers, of the death of several children from the sting of locusts. Hut we learn, that the bite of this noisy visitor, has, in several instance^ proved fatal A black boy, in or near New Castle, (Del) last week, "athered several locusts, and P^t them into his hat, to be carried to school. While thus con lined, the animals bit his head in several places, in a short time, the places bitten became inflam ■>d the head swelled very much, and the bo> died in*a few hours afterwards. We saw seve ral sores on a person's hand, caused by the bite of locusts.—Phil. V*S. Gaz. The number of children in the various public school of the city of New York, is 11,265. The number of teachers is 49, assistant teachers 28, monitors 75; the aggregate of whose salaries foi a year amounts to $35,659. P i The Presbyterian Church at Hoosick Falls was broken into on the 17th of May, and much injury done. The pulpit was broken, and every bible, hymn book, &c. in the Church were cut and disfigured. The Sabbath School Library was entirely destroyed, and the pannels of all the pews more or less mutilated. The Visigoth who did this deed deserves ten* Spanish Inqui sitions.”— iV. Cour. The trial of Mr. McChesncy, late merchant of this city, for forgery, resulted yesterday in his conviction at the Court of Sessions.—N. Y. Cum. Decree respecting Convents.—The Queen Re gent of Spain has issued a decree regarding friars and convents. Article 1. provides that j any monastery or convent, of whatsoever order, j from which any individual of the brotherhood shall have fled to join the rebels, and the Prior of which shall not have denounced such flight within the time of 24 hours, to be immediately suppressed. Art. 2. Any monastery or convent from which the sixth part of the brotherhood shall have fled to join the rebels shall also be suppressed. Art. 3. The same measure shall be executed against monastery or convent in which, with the connivance of the superior, any arms, ammunition, or other effects of war, shall have been received and concealed. Art. 4. And any monastery or convent in which it shall be proved that secret meetings have been held,with the permission or knowledge of the superior, for seditious and treasonable purpose, shall al I so be suppressed. Art. 5. All the articles used in the performance of Divine Service, and ap pertaining to the suppressed convents, shall be distributed by the Bishops among the most nee dy of the parishes in their diocesses; and of I such distribution the Queen is to be informed. Art. 6. The other property, movable or immov able, of the convents thus suppressed, shall be sold by public sale, according to law. Art. 7. The fund accruing from such sale shall be em ployed in the payment of the pensions which j the Queen assign to the fathers, widows„and or- i phans of the loyal Spaniards that may fall in defence of the legitimate rights of her august daughter. The rest shall be appropriated to the extinction of the public debt. Art. 8. The pre ceding provisions are not to be understood as hindering the institution of judicial proceedings in cases of conspiracy against the State. U. S. Gaz. Pulpit Eloquence.—The Washington corres pondent of the Boston Transcript speaks of the Rev. Mr. Stockton, chaplain to the House of Representatives, in the following terms: He is a Maryland man, I believe, and a Me I thodist; what else I know not, but from his I preaching, which was certainly remarkable enough to entitle him to a paragraph, as well as to the crowded and distinguished audiences which commonly collect around him. Imagine a man of thirty-five years of age; tall, thin, erect; with lustrous eyes, aimed, for the most part, over the heads of his hearers, and uni formly conveying the impression and expres sion of a mind absorbed in the imaginative con templation of unseen and future things. To this air of enthusiasm, spending itself on phantasies of the invisible world, his whole manner and matter in a great degree correspond. He preach-1 ed on the divine character as the source of life and light, and his speculations, metaphors, and language, were intellectually worthy of his theme; always commanding attention, and sometimes startingly beautiful. The discourse was neither extempore nor written, blit apparently very well studied, and perhaps arranged with the aid of note§. His voice is indifferent; his gestures ra ther monotonous, but occasionally striking and bold, much after the notion we have of White field’s manner. His power was feelingly tested by the effect he produced by a picture of domes tic bereavement, which brought tears to my eyes before 1 was quite aware what the gentle man was driving at; and by the time 1 had fair ly repented of my frailty, he was talking, with his hands flying over his head, about the "‘yel low garland of the morning, and the spheres that fill the ear of boundless space with their mu sic.” 1 never have seen a speaker unite so much deliberate dignity of style; for he is slow almost to a fault; with so much enthusiasm of senti ment.” Anecdote.—In West Africa, the Church Mis sionary Society of England have a school for poor negro children. It is related of a little i girl who belonged to that school, that when one j of her fellow pupils had beaten her, she was asked—‘‘Did you beat her again?” She an swered—“ No, I left it to God.” The annals of philosophy and human wisdom might be search ed in vain for any thing equal to that answer—a diviner spirit was there. Transference of Vital Tower.—A not uncom mon cause of loss of vital powers is the young sleeping with the aged- This fact, however explained, has been long remarked, and it is well known to every unprejudiced observer.— But it has been most unaccountably overlooked in medicine. I have, on several occasions, met with the counterpart of the following case: I was, a few years since, consulted about a pale, sickly and thin boy, of about five or six years of age. He appeal ed to have no specific ail ment,but there was so slow and remarkable a de cline of flesh and strength, and of the energy of all the functions—what his mother very aptly termed, a gradual blight. After inquiring into the history of the case, it came out that he had been a very robust and plethoric child up to his third year, when his grandmother, a very aged person, took him to sleep with her; that he soon afterwards lost his good looks, and he had continued to decline progressively ever since, notwithstanding medical treatment. I direct ed him to sleep apart from his aged parent, and drescribed tonics, changes of air, &c. The re covery was rapid—Doct. Copeland. FOR NORFOLK. The Steamer COLUM BIA., Capt. James Mitch- ell, will leave Lambell’s i wharf, Washington, at 12, and Thompson’s wharf, Alexandria, at 1 o’clock P M. on Friday, the 20th instant, for Norfolk, ar riving at Norfolk on Saturday, in time for the Stages going South, and the Steamboat Patrick Henry for Richmond. Returning to the Dis trict she will leave Norfolk on Sunday, the 22d, at 3 o’clock, P. M.j and will continue, during the season, to make a trip between the District and Norfolk every two weeks, leaving each place on the days and hours above named. For the accommodation of persons tiavelfing from Norfolk to Fredericksburg, or from Fre dericksburg to Norfolk, an arrangement has been made with the proprietors of the steam boat Sydney, (plying between Washington and Fredericksburg,) by which they will arrive at either place, at an early hour, on the days fol lowing the departure of the Columbia, without any additional charge for passage Passage and fare S3.

On opening the animal, it was discover ed, for the first time, that she was with young. This circumstance led to a more minute exa mination,—when there were found within her ten well shaped pigs, perfect as they should be, together with an animal having a perfect re semblance to an elephant’s head, instead of that of a hog. The head and countenace is not on ly like that of the elephant, with the proboscis in its proper place, but has only one eye, which is very brilliant, and placed directly in the cen tre of the forehead. The body, ears and tail, also correspond to those of the elephant. This singular production of Nature was presented to the Alexandria Museum, in good order, on the day it was discovered—has been duly preserv ed—and is well worth the attention of the na turalist and the curious. IN COUNCIL, JUNE 12, 1331. The Committee appointed to examine the Fish Wharf, made a report: Whereupon, Ordered, That the Superintendent of Police, under the direction of the same Committee, do cause such portion of the Fish Wharf as has gi ven way, to be taken up, and to be replaced by a bridge wharf, to be connected with such parts of the present wharf as may be lound substan tial; and a sum not exceeding four hundred dol lars is hereby appropriated for that purpose: the expense to be paid jointly by the Corpora tion and Robert 1. Taylor, in proportion to the extent of wharf owned by them respectively. And. it is further Ordered, That the Superin tendent of Police, when renting said wharf for the balance of the present year, reserve to the Corporation the privilege of using so much of the same as may be necessary for carrying the foregoing order into effect. A petition from Wilkinson Williams and others was received and read, and referred to Messrs. Baird, McGuire, and Hough. The Committee to whom was referred the communication from J. W. II. Irwin, made a report, which was concurred in by Council. Extract: I. P. THOMPSON, C. C.

This valuable Medicine, being composed only of vegetable matter, or medicinal herbs, and warranted, on oath, as containing not >ne particle of mercurial, mineral, or chemical substances, (all of which are un congenial to the nature of man, and therefore dcstruc tive to the human frame,) is found to be perfectly harmless to the most tender age or weakest frame, un der every stage of human suffering; the most pi asant and benign in it- operation, and at the same time the most searching out the root of every complaint, how ever deep, and of performing a cure, that was ever offered to the world. This wonderful effect, too, is produced by the lea3t trouble to the parents, bv merely swallowing a certain number of small pills, and being called a few extra times to the purposes of eva cuation, with the least possible sensation of pain, or exhaustion of bodily strength, and without the tear of catching cold, or attention to dress or diet, in any way different from their accustomed habits. These pills cure all cases, and cannot be taken to excess Experience, which is the touchstone of all human knowledge, has long borne testimony to the fact; and extensive use of them has already verified its truth in this country. These medicines cure by purging; and yet the weak, the feeble, the infirm, the nervous, the delicate, are in a few days strengthened by their operation, beca ise they clear the body of its had humours, and invariably procure sound sleep, i'hey are the safest and most efficacious menicine to take to sea; preventing scurvy, costiveness, Uc, The Vegetable Cleansing Powders are of great as sistance to patients, ana facilitate the evacuation of bad humours; they sotten, cleanse, and detach the acrimonious phlegm; are cooling, and allay the thirst.
