During the years 1910 and 1811, I possessed a tolerable good berth on board the Fire Fly,” a new schooner, mounting twelve guns, eight nines, and four six-pounders. She was a re markably fine vessel, sharp in the bows, a splen did sailer, and of the most exquisite mould that 1 think I have ever seen. Her run from stem to stern was in such perfect good taste, and there was such a proportionate, yet almost impercep tible, rise in her quarter-deck and forecastle, which added to the elegant and symmetrical form of her hull, the delicate tapering of her upper spars, the tautness and exactitude of her standing and running rigging, and the neatness of her general trim, excited an astonishing de gree of pleasure and admiration in the eyes of every real sailor that looked upon her. Our station during these two years was the West In die*-'. _ W '•ailed from Kingston on the 17th of Octo ber. 19in, and stood away to the eastward, with* a bright azure sky and a smooth sea. Our cruise was to be one of six months, between eight and thirty-four degrees N. latitude, and forty and seventy of W. longitude, and we were am ply provided with every thing that might be ne cessary. Our crutt had been newly coppered, and. with fresh naint and bunting flying, we made a most gallant appearance in going out of the harbour. About this time, a pirate, unusually fortunate and audacious, had chosen to make the West Indian seas the scene of his depredations. A great many heavily laden ships of all nations, and from all parts of the world, fell into his hands. The crews were generally treated in the most barbarous manner, often their lives were sacrificed or they were subjected to the most cruel tortures. This rascal was Known tnrougnoui me lsiunus bv the name of the Black Buccaneer ot Bur badoes;” that fanciful piece of alliteration hav ing been assigned to him, first, because he was born in that island, and next, because his dis tinguishing colors were sable. His mode of proceeding was this: under the flag of some friendiy nation, he used to decoy every vessel that he thought he could master into his own pow er. then when they were alongside of him, down went the assumed ensign. and up went his own black bunting. The conflict was si hlom of long duration: of boarding he was very fond, and a' it, very expert. A thousand varying state ments were made of his vessel and force.— By some, the former was described as a large schooner, carrying eighteen gum; by others ns a powerful tfrig of twenty; and again as a small frigate of four-and-twenty. His crew was com puted at between two and three hundred, and some went so far as to make it amount to a much larger number. However, ail agreed in maintaining that lie was a most bloody and truculent fellow, and that his vessel was one of the fastest sailers known. Many insisted that no man would be suffered to infest the ocean with such daring impunity, and to defy the power of the law with such barefaced ef frontery, unless protected by some evil spell. Some even rumored ihut he had disposed of his soul to the Evil One in consideration of his pro tection. or hinted that he was the very devil himself, in propria ptrsoyi. H s nom tie guerre. of Freya the Fearless.” added to the general terror; and the fact strongly assorted too, by the way. that one day he was seen twenty leagues to the eastward of the Bermudas, in u heavy squall, with his main-topmast down, and in a most perilous condition, and the same evening running between Gaudaloupe and Dominica, corrob -nted the report* ot that mystical cha nu i r which had so readily been assigned to him. I was toid, when in Jamaica, by a person w ho knew him well, that lie was a Spanish Creole, of gigantic stature arul fierce aspect; that his crew”was composed of refugees, and vile cha racters, of ail nations; men, whose, crimes or violent dispositions had exiled them from their several countries, to the amount of one hundred and ninety, or two hundred, and that knowing, W 're they caught, gibbets and ropes would be their only greeting on reaching the shore, they were fierc»* and desperate to the last degree. The accounts of the pirate’s force, as I observ ed before, were so vague and contradictory, that no reliance could he placed on them. We went off. notwithstanding, w ith no small expec tation of coining up with, taking, and bringing him into port. Afu*r two days sail, with a smart breeze at N. N. W-, before which we made good way, the wind chopped round to the east, and after much fluctuation settled in the IV. E. by E.— Towards the evening o! the 20th a dense bank of rainy, blue clouds, rose majestically to the windward picturing tiiat quarter of the ocean of an inky hue, and marking out the horizon with its white spray with great distinctness. The hrfeze began to flag and grow capricious, and «ed inclined to blow up into a gale, so our "wallant clew-lines were manned, and the y irds sent clown on deck. eht *’«s as dark as pitch. The wind and left us with heaps of heavy va :'it over head. The moon was strug rd among groups of ragged clouds and .s|», but every now and then a long and y pale beam would burst out, and light up of sea in the distauce, showing us .v.bling waves, gleaming and flashing like v/ild sever, mid then it would fade gradually w iy, and appear quite unexpectedly in ano dic r place. The dull glimmering of the sky, •wid the heavy, monotonous sound ot the sea, dashing up against the bows and cutwater, bad a lulling effect upon the senses of all on deck. About ten o’clock, the look out on our star boardbow thought he saw something like a speck in the south-westward, and communicated his discovery to Peter Luff, the officer of the watch. While he was speaking, a man stationed in the fore-top sung out. bail, ho! “Whereaway?” A. ‘‘Right on our lee bow, sir,” returned, the What kind of craft is she? “I can’t distinguish, sir. While you were speak mig, a heap of mists drove smack before hpr** Of course, we were all bustle immediately.— Just as 1 jumped hastily on deck, a misty moon beam glanced out from a silvery break, in one of the clouds to leeward, about two cables’ length ahead of the Fire Fly,” and glided a long.the heaving expanse of water right in the stranger’s direction. We looked out with im patience as it sailed along, till at last it settled up on him, and lightning up the sea in its immedi ate neighborhood, a white sail was distinctly to be seen, in the quarter where it had been first discovered. The officers began to collect in dose groups on the quarter deck, scanning the object of our curiosity, some with glasses, and the remainder i with their unaided eyes. Tack,” said our skipper, in an under tone, and we tacked accordingly; and as we brought the ship’s head up to meet the wind, the water rushing tip to, and flashing beneath our bous, flunkies, the trembling billows, the clouded moon, our shat tered vessel, and its tattered rigging, our bloody decks, and even our very face:,, were wrapped in one uniform and brilliant scarlet light. The brig meanwhite glowed like a redhot coal in a fiery furnace. Her bristling guns, her chains, her raised ports, her stays, her wales, her an chors, and all her furniture were etched out so vividly, that to an excited imagination they seemed as if all had been bathed deeply in a flood of rubv light while her sable ensign fluttered high in the smothering air. like an angel of death rejoicing over his sinking vic tims. Her last hour rapidly approached. Our shot had sent in some nrtheir planks, and the hissing waters were gaining hard upon her. Down!— down!—down she went, stern foremost, the scar let waves, gurgling and tumbling above her, and the cries of her ill-fated crew ringing through the still midnight air. The flumes gave a loud hiss, as they touched the water,and were extinguished, her masts still kept burning, flaring and fizzing, like a couple ofblazingsticks butsunk gradually, lower and lower. At last she gave a sickening lurch, the flashing water boiled and curled about like a whirlpool, and a deep expiring groan, emitted from the very bosom of the ocean, told that chief, crew, and vessel had gone to eternity. The jErinl Plant—The burning sands of hot climates, even at Karsfields of the Cape of Good Hope, which are so arid and scorched that no water can be extracted from them, are the me dia in which the most succulent vegetables, of which we have any knowledge, flourish and evolve; so deleterious, indeed, is a wet season to then- growth, that they are destroyed by it. There are also various tribes of vegetables that are destitute of roots, and which can only be supported and nourished by the air, and by the moisture wliv1 the atmosphere contains. A large portion of the class Fuci have no root whatever; and is stated that the jErial Epe nendron, (the Epinendron Flos iEris, denomi nated aerial from its extraordinary properties, and which is a native of Java,) on account of the elegance of its leaves, the beauty of its pow er, and the exquisite odor which it diffuses, is plucked up by the inhabitants, and suspended hy a silken cord from the ceiling of their apart ments, from whence it continues from year to year to put forth new leaves, to display new blossoms, and exhale new fragrance, although fed out of the bodies before stated. London Mag. Inter eating Anecdotes.—At the celebration of the forty-fifth anniversary of the first settlement ot Cincinnati, Major Gwyne being called on for a sentiment, in the course of some preliminary remarks, related the following very interesting anecdotes: Although in the late war with Great Britain, there were comparatively but a few native born Ohioans, of an age sufficiently advanced to bear arms, of the few, it is known to many of you, that in the corps in which I had the good for tune to serve, there were as many, and proba bly more, native Ohioans, than served for any length ol time in any other part of the army. It is needless, perhaps, to add, that I was attached to the 19th regiment of infantry, commanded i by gallant Col. John Miller of my own state.— 1 will relate to you what I witnessed in the bear ing of three of those Ohio lads, who, amongst 1 others, came under my personal observation. I In May. 1813, when preparations .were mak ing for the sortie which raised the siege of Fort Meigs, the first of these lads was attached to myself, to use a military phrase in the charac ter of batman. On his ascertaining that the i company was about to go out, I found him all bustle and animation, filling his cartridge box with fresh cartridges, assorting his flints ami brandishing his musket. i On being asked what he was about, he replied. why, lieutenant, the company is going out and I am going to.’ I told him as he would be the only person to take care of the baggage, I thought he would have to stay at the tent: all his animation instantly fled, and the young Buckeye commenced whimpering, and declar ed that though he had been willing to serve as batman, yet if he could not go out when the j company was going to fight, he would rather the lieutenant would get somebody else for a batman.’ He was, of course, permitted to go; and in the engagement with the Indians, in the wood, was shot through the thigh. Observ ing that he was wounded, I directed him to fall back and return to the fort; but he pcrsevering i ly insisted that his wound did not hurt him a bit, and that he could go as far as any of the cora pany. The next one I shall mention, was shot 1 through the wrist, in the same sortie; after which I discovered him taking aim over his el bow, with his left hand hanging perfectly useless. I also directed him to go back to the fort, i being wounded. His. reply was’ *‘No lieutenant, if my wrist is broke that’s nothing; some of the men will load my gun, and 1 can shoot over my elbow.” 1 The third and last of whom I shall speak, in re turning to the fort from the woods, where he had been shot at by a party ol Indians, took fiom his pocket*a Bible containing a rifle ball which penetrated to the centre of iis folds, and pre senting it to me, exultingly exclaimed, ‘Look here, lieutenant! see, this good hook, which iny mother gave me, and which I always cairy in my pocket, has saved my life.” I will now, gentlemen, give this aspiration: may the chivalry, unyielding perseverence, and respect for the good book, exhibited in the characters of these three be the future cha j racteristics of ail Ohio Buckeyes. BALLOON ASCENSION, On Wednesday, the 30th of July instant. NICHOLAS J. ASH l akes pleasure in lmoimmp the citizens of Washington. Georgetown, Alexandria, and their vicinities, that he will make his spcond ascension, with his large variegated Balloon, from Analostin Gardens, (Mason’s Island,) on Wednesday, 30th oj July. As the process of inflating a Balloon is one of the most inter esting things, and most persons wish to be as near as possible, there mis been erected, aiconsioerauie expense, an Amphitheatre, sufficient to accommodate from 6 to 7,000 persons, where they can be com fortably seated, and witness the whole of the in teresting process, by which, in less than two and a halfhours, 12.000 feet of Hydrogen Gasis pro cured by means of this large and powerful ap paratus, frgm the decomposition of water with iron and sulphuric acid. Order to be observed nt the Ascension. Between the hours of 11 and 12 o’clock, sig nal cannons will be fired at intervals, at which time the gate of the Garden will be thrown open for the reception of visiters. During the space of time which will necessarily be occupied by the inflation, several small Ballons will be sent off, by way of ascertaining the true course of the large one; and during the whole time thu employed by the inflation, &c. a grand Band of Martial Music, engaged expressly for this occa sion, will add no little pleasure to the entertain ments ofthe day. At 5 o’clock, precisely, he will take his station in the Car, and, after float ing in the air a sufficient time for all the specta tors to have a full view of his Balloon and Cur, the cords will be cut, and the flying vessel, with her pilot, will gradually ascend to the regions above. After ascending to an elevation of about 50ft feet, he will detach from his Car a Parachufp, containing an English Rabbit. If it reaches the earth in safety, it is requested, as an especial fa vor, that it be returned to the garden. A requisite number of Police Officers will be in attendance to preserve order. Tickets of admission 50 cents; children under 12 years of age half price; to be had at all the principal Bookstores and Hotels in the District; also at the Garden gate on the day of ascension. Dll* The proprietor of the Analostin Gardens takes this early opportunity of informing the ci tizens of the District, that, on Wednesday, the 30th of July instant, the day appointed for Mr. Ash’s ascension, no boat or boats can be suffer ed to land on the Island, under any circumstan ces whatever, except on the northern part, which occupies a space between the Causeway and the Old Ferry House, on the Island, and that sufficient guards have been engaged to car ry the above regulations into effect. The sub scriber feels assured, from the known willing ness of the citizens generally to submit to such regulations as are absolutely necessary on such occasions, and injustice to Mr. Ash, to whom he tendered the use of his Gardens, to gratify the public curiosity, that it is only necessary for him to state the regulations, that they may be cheerfully complied with. In addition to the regular ferry, which runs a boat propelled by horses, for the accommoda tion of carriages, &c., boats of large dimensions will be run from the shores of Georgetown and Washington, commencing at Major Davidson’s stone warehouse, at the west end of G street, and continue up the line of wharves in George town, as high as Market street. The public may rest assured that they will be conveyed in per fect safety. ANDREW M. LAUB. N. B. It should be understood that the ferry boats, on the above day, can be used without charge. jy 25—dt30thJy ALEX AM liiiiA. TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 29. POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT. The deposition which follows is taken from the documents uccompanying the Report of tl.e Post Office Committee. These matters cannot be brought before the public too often; the infa mous corruptions developed in that Department —the condemnation of Mr. Barry by the uuuui mous vote of the Senate—the fact that General Jackson still retains him in office in spite of his delinquencies—and the disposition manifested j —to sustain both Jackson and Barry in this po sition—are the most alarming signs of national degradation that we have yet seen. j Deposition of Mr. Isaac Tompkins.—“ Had you any conversation with any contractor touching the embarrassments of the Postmaster Genernt. and did you hear a proposition or plan bv anv one to relieve him? If any, state the name and residence of the person, and the proposition." In the full of. 1 think, 1S30, I had a conversa tion with Mr. E. Porter, touching the embarrass ments of the Post Master General. He proposed that a loan of about 5000 dollars should be made to Mr. Barry; that Mr. B’s. salary would enab’e him to refund it before many months. Mr. 1\ expressly stated that he acted without the know ledge of Mr. Barry. His plan was that a few of the principal contractors should make out this amount, and put it in some person’s hands to loan to Mr. B. who should always remain igno rant of the source from whence it came. Mr Porter resided at that time in Richmond, Virg: nia. l,Do you know of any gift or gratuity made Ly any contractor to any person in the Depart ment, and if any. what, and to whom?’’ I have no knowledge of any gift or gratuity being made to any officer or member of the De partment, except on one occasion, Colonel Avery (my partner) and myself were in New York, and in consideration of the politeness and attention of Parson Drown, who had spent a great deal of time out of office hours to ac commodate us, and expedite our business, we concluded to send him a quarter ca^k of wine We accordingly purchased one,directed it to him. and sent it on board a vessel I never heard whether it reached him or not—presume it did. Isaac Tompkins. In further reply to the first question, I have state thut I do not know whether Mr. Ponei'. plan for the relief of Major Barry was carried into effect or not. I told Mr. P. that it would afford ine pleasure to contribute to his plan f-.r the relief of Major Barry, but the situation of my funds were such that I could not advance cash at that time; but in the course of ninety days I thought I could loan him the amount he desireo, $500. A day or two subsequent to tbi> conversation he called on me, and 1 made a draft in his favor for $500 on Messrs. J. T Thorm Co. of New York, at ninety days or thereabouts. This draft 1 understood he had j discounted at the Patriotic Bank. What ht* did with the avails I am not able to say: he acknowi edged himself indebted to the amount, (500 dol lars.) and has since sent me word by my partner Col. Avery, that he is not unmindful that he ow ed that amount, and that it should be paid be fore long. The only entry l have of said draft is contained in a small memorandum book, which is in the following words—‘‘Made drafts Oh Storm. E. Porter, due 1st April; 500 dollars." The club of Mai! contractors making up a cret purse for the Post Master General’s benefit, and tlie presents to Mr. Brown are facts which, require no comment. iC?- The mail from New York is getting to he very irregular. The newspapers have failed two or three times within a few days to arriv* on the proper day. The New Yorkers are complaining very mm of the bad bread with v hich they are furnished by their bakers.

There had, it seems, been several cases among the residents, two or three of which had terminated fatally. The Ga zette and the Times of the following day are boll) silent on the subject. The Wheeling Gazette of the 2tth says: On Tuesday, report says, there were flo or four deaths from Cholera; we know positive ly ofonly two, Mrs. Keating and child. V- w* day we heard of no cases. The weather has been, for the last two days, extremely warm, and at the same time the atmosphere has been unusually humid and oppressive; hut the gene ral good health of the citizens is uninterrupu*. Montreal papers of the 21st instant explain t' sudden deaths which occurred in that city du ingthe preceding week, by the great degree o: heat, and the negligence as to diet, and great exposure, of the persons who died.

A panorama of New T ork was about to be exhi bited in London, at the last dates; that of the !l Falls of Niagara” attracted crowds. Among the shows of that city, we observe one adver ted as The Breathing Napoleon. It is thus described: “On a conch lies the conqueror of tyrants and the despot of the world, attired in the mil itary dress of a general worn by him when he was Consul. The position is such as has been asserted he always slept in, with one hand on his chest, and one linger inserted in his coat between the button holes. On approaching, the visiter perceives the chest heave, and, on watching, observes the continual gentle but re gular undulation consequent upon breathing.— To carry the deception fur ther, it has been so managed that, on touching any portion of the exterior of the body, it is with astonishment we perceive that our lingers are in contact with a substance that gives way to the impression, and, on being removed, the indentation readily disappears w ith as much ease as it would from i living frame. Where bone should be, there ve find a hard and bony-like (we mean no pun) material; where flesh, it is soft as flesh; where cartil ig-\ it is proportionally yielding.

The subscriber respectfully informs his flli l friends and the public generally that the SPRING, formerly known as “DUVALL’S,” is now opened for the reception of company. Every attention will be paid for the accommo dation of those who may visit this Spring. The situation possesses many advantages,—located five miles west of Winchester, in a healthy and agreeable neighborhood, remote from any wa ter course. The property has undergone a tho rough repair; nearly all the buildings are new, and sufficient room to accommodate about 75 persons. The water is highly medicinal, hav ing stood the test for 25 or 30 years. Many re spectable certificates could be procured, were it necessary, to prove the value of this water. In dyspepsia, diarrhea, affections of the liver, cu taneous affections, suppressed perspiration, de bility, and many other diseases to which the hu man system is subject, this water, upon a fair trial, I hope, will not be less efficacious than any sulphur water whatever. The accommodations shall be equal to any other watering place; the most trusty servants provided, and our table shall be furnished w ith the best our markets af ford.

SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINTMENT, (formerly Jutlkius’,) Prepared by C. HERSTONS, near Frederick town, Maryland. Rrcncoao. V*. July 15, 1830. THE public vrill be pleased to understand that 1 was the original discoverer of Judkins* Ointment, and sole proprietor of the patent from September, 1817, until the expiration of the tame; 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 26tU June, I have made an improvement in the same, and taken oat a pa-1 tent thereon. N. SHEPHERD. I (17 Imposition having been practised upon the nub lie by a spurious article, bearing the name of jud- j kins* Ointment," the proprietor avails himself ot the authority printed to him in hia letter* patent, now to call the Ointment after bis 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 Rood 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 bands, 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, I some of which have so long baffled the skill oftne dical science: 1st White swellings of every description* I 2d Sore legs and ulcers oflong standing, j 3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularlytnose hardenedturaora in women's breasts, which oftentimes terminate in ulceiated cancers* 4th Felons; or what some people know by the name 1 of catarrhs, of every description. 5th Rheumatic pains ofthe joints« 6th Sprains and bruises of every description, or in whatever part situate; 7th Tetters of allkin Is. In this complaint the pa tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part outof water; 8th Chilblains or nartaaffected by frost. It is also one of the best remedies lor burns snd scalds. It eases I he pain and draws the fire out in a short time. 1 For inflamed women's breasts and glandular awcl lings, it is superior to any medicine yet known to the f 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 no! lay the patient liable to injury from exposure to cold. This Oimment has cured sores of many years stand ing. Where it is impossible or imprudent to heal the external aore, in consequence of the bones becoming carious oi rotten, it will stop the progress of the caries, increase the quantity of discharge, remove the offen i sive smell, and ease the pains It cures the worst Feiuds and Whitlows, on applies i tion of forty-eight hours CERTIFICATES.

My family physician, Ur John T. W ilson, of 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 as applied, and the affection was permanently reliev ed. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, L. P. W. Uai.cn. From the Honorable John Taliaferro, Member of Con gress, dated W asaii»8Toi», January 22, 1829. Sib—It has been my wish, fora considerable time, to communicate te. you the good effect with which I have used the Ointment invented by a Mr. Judtii'is, and which I now understand is made and sold by I agents appointed by yourself, I have applied this Ointment duripg the last three years to every species of tumor and wound, without failure to produce a cure in every instance. 1 consider it the most decided and efficient remedy in all cases of tumor, be the cause whatit may; and 1 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 whichth :y decided would, withoutampu talioii, prove fatalto the patient, wa3, under my imme diate notice, effected by the use of Judkins’ Ointment, and the patient i»in fine health His limb affected by the tumor being restored to a prrfectstate of sound ness. Alsothat the leg ofan aged man which had been wounded, and exhibited one dreadfully ulcerated sur face from the knee to the foot, and which, for more than two years,had been considered incurable, wasef feclually cured by the application of Judkins’ Oint ment. I mention these two cases, whichfellundermy immediate notice and management, as a decided evi dence of the efficacy ofthis remedy incases of tumor and ofulcers: lhaveexpe iencedt as decidedly, the good effect of this remedy n 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 utmostconfidence recommend the use ofthis valuable remedy, lam, *ir, very respectfully, John rai.iirr.RRo N.

SAM. H. p. LEE. Baltimore, August, 1828. Doctor S. II. P. Lxz, New London, Conn. Deab Sib—It is now upwards of twenty year* that I have used your New London Bilious Pills in my fami ly, and always found them an efficient purgative in al i most every 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 ir their oper .tion and effects until b few months past; and having, since then, been sadly disappointed in eve- strength is not yet fully returned, I am certain I have less pains, and am more free from temporary sickness, than at any time since my earliest recollec j lion. Yours, with respect, HORACE T. LOVE. j On H. FiiEi-itKiUD Moat. Dear Sir—I wish to state that my sister, after •’cvere suffering, and employing a medical man three years, was relieved by the use of the Universal Medicines. I Her complaint wus a violent pain and anreness in her side; indeed, to use her own expression, her os on one bide had turned in, actually deformed. The pain was a violent burning pain, almost intolerable; so see vere, that she could not sit up for upwards of three years- It was occasioned by over-lacing hers If, and perhaps, over exertion with it. After using a few, doses of No, 1 and 2, alternately, about eight pit's for a dose, the pain decreased, and, by perseverance in I their use, she is now restore.1 to health; and I have no objection to this case being made public for the Benefit of others; and am, dear air, yours truly, H. DYER. Lowell, Massachusetts, Feb. 8, 1331. Injustice to Ur. M„ her medical adviser, when he heard her improvement in health, he recommended perseverence in the use of be medicines. This valuable Medicine, being composed only of vegetable matter, or medicinal herbs, and warranted, on oath, at containing not one particle of mercurial, mineral, or chemical substances, (all of which are un congenial to the nature of man, and therefore destruc I tive to the human frame,) ia found to be perfectly harmless to the most tender nge or weakest frame, un der every stage of human suffering; the most pLaaant 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 ofTered to the world. This wonderful effect, too, is produced by the least trouble to the patients, by merely swallowing a certain number of small pills, and j being called a few extra times to the purposes of eva euation, with the least possible sensation of pain, or exhaustion of bodily sirengtb, and without the le&r of CRicriing cuiu, ur lucimun iu ureas or uici, in sny way different from their accustomt d 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, because they clear the body of its bad humours, and invariably procure sound sleep- They are the safest and most I efficacious menicine to take to sea; preventing scurvy, costiveness, he. The Vegetable Cleansing Powders are of great as sistance to patients, ami facilitate the evacuation of bad humours; they soften, cleanse, and detach the acrimonious phlegm; are cooling, and allay the thirst.
