Montreal, Jily 24.—Notwithstanding the state of the public health, there is is no panic, no alarm; but business continues with some lit tle abatement. Whilst all lament the appear ance of cholera, all are grateful that, compa red with 1832, it is comparatively light. Among, the deaths that have occurred since my last,; are T. A. Turner, Esq. President of the Trini-; ty Board, and formerly President of the Bank of Canada, Miss Doyle, formerly of Halifax,; Mr. W. G. Bell, Quebec suburbs, Mrs. Thontp-1 son mother-in-law of Common Councilman N. j Hall, and Mrs. Clitf; in St. Lawrence suburbs.— j Last night a respectable American gentleman j died; he was in town collecting subscribers or j purchasers for a map. Whilst 1 am writing,. Mr. Atterill, steamboat agent, is announced as at the point of death. I visited the Cholera Hospital about an hour ago; only two new ca ses have come in to-day. The whole number now in Hospital are 12, five of whom are cured of Cholera; but are laboring under Typhus, with rather unpromising symptoms. The military have been removed from the barracks in the city, and are under canvass in the Isle St Helens. As to any doubts respecting the disease, the public may judge for themselves from the symp toms, which are—;first, purging and vomiting; then rice water stools, giddiness of the head, cramps, asphyxia, blueness of the skin, sinking of the eyes, shrinking of the flesh, clamminess of the skin, &c. From extensive observation in 1832, I am j enabled to say that the present disease differs in nothing, as far as I can see, except that the cramps are not so severe, and that the French Canadians do not suffer so fatally now as in 1S32. The Cincinnati Board of Health report ten deaths by Cholera, in that city, during the week ending on the 21st instant. The dis ease was not considered by the board as increas ing. The Wbkling Gazette* of the 26th, in refer ence to the health of that town, says, on the au thority of physicians, that the health of Wheel ing is about as ^ood as usual at this season of the year, and adds that, it is doubted by ma ny whether there have been any cases of Chole ra among us; at all events we think there have not been more than 4 or 5, and none for two or three days past. We hear no more of the Cholera being at Pittsburg. Beaver, Pa. July 25.—Two or three deaths have occurred, within the past week, of Chole ra, in this vicinity. A Mr. Bracy, of Philipsburg, died the forepart of this week, and a Mrs. Ve natta, of Moon township, on Sunday last. The circumstances attending the last case are re markable. We are informed that on Thursday preceding she observed a bundle floating in the river, and insisted, against the entreaties of her friends, on going in after it, which she did, and with the assistance of a relative of the name of Day, finally brought it ashore. On opening it, it was found to contain a matras and bedding, a number of towels, hankerchiefs, Ac. In the centre was a small board, a foot and a half square, on which w’*»re inscribed the Cholera— Hevare!” Notwithstanding this admonition, the woman was determined to hold on to her prize, and after plun-ingthe articles in the river a few times, spread them on the shore. On Saturday night she was attacked, with every symton of the Cholera, and on the next day, before medical assistance was ob tained, she was a corpse. William Nicholson, a hand on board the steamboat Beaver, died quite suddenly on Sa turday last. At 1 o’clock he started to run the boat tp Pittsburg, in tolerable health—at Economy he was taken unwell, and in five hours after leav ing Beaver Point, he was dead. Some of the symptoms indicated Cholera—but it is said the death occurred from other cases. There has been a Convention of Millers from the town of Petersburg and the country upon James and Appomatox rivers above tide water,” held in Richmond, for the purpose of taking (Measures to place their flour upon an equal footing, in the South American markets, with the Richmond flour. The millers alluded to grind about half a million of bushels annually. They determined to appoint an agent in Rich mond, with authority to employ suitable agents in the Northern States, and in South America, for shipping and selling the flour of the parties thus associated. They pledged themselves to each other to manufacture flour in the best manner possible, to be shipped on their account to their agents, and offer the same facilities to other millers in Upper Virginia, upon condition that none but the best flour be furnished, and no other agents employed.—Bale. Amer. A Toast helped ou/.—At a 4th of July celebra tion of Delaware county, w’here Gen. Root pre aided, a militia colonel, who was sitting next to him, was called upon for a toast. Not hav ing prepared himself beforehand, he was a little puzzled what to give. He thought a minute, and finally concluded it should be something of a military nature; but precisely what he had no fully determined, when he arose and thun dered forth, “The Military of our country—may ,they never want”—here he hesitated—“ may they never want”—here he bogged—“ may they ne ver want”—and here he came to a full stop! and looking imploringly at the President, whispered, What the devil shall l say next?” M And never be wanted,” whispered back the General. “And never be wanted,” roared the Colonel. Thus they made between them a capital toast, which neither of them, and perhaps nobody else, would originally have thought of; reading, when put together, as follows: The Military of our country—may they ne ver want, and may they never be wanted.

MOSES HEPBURN, jy 18— eo3w FTESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL. interest of a large portion of the People f United States in the completion of the Che ipoake and Ohio Canal will plead our apo w to our more remote subscribers for insert ing in our columns the report upon that subject, of which a considerable portion appears in the preceding columns. Time was not allowed, at the late Session of Congress, for reaching the bill to which the re port refers. As, however, this measure will pro bably engage the attention of Congress at an early period of its next session, an additional motive arises for its general publication in the intervening period. It will correct any erroneous impressions which may exist as to the plan and cost of the 109 miles of Cana), and ten miles of slack water navigation, now nearly completed, of which, indeed, 86 1-2 miles are. already, in daily use, and will confirm the favorable opinion, mani fested by all who have seen this canal, as to the skill and fidelity with which it has been con structed. Should the Company need funds, to supply the place of those, which a well-ground ed hope is entertained that Congress will furnish, next winter, the publication of this detailed view of the condition of their afiairs may subserve the further purpose of facilitating temporary loans in aid ot the prosecution of the work till Congress and the Legislatures of Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, all of whom are parties to this great and useful enterprize, may have time to supply adequate resources for the completion of it, as far at least as to the Lum ber, Coal, and Iron region, on which its future productiveness depends. After reaching Cumberland, little doubt exists, but, its utility being demonstrated, the Canal will work its way on to Pittsburg, its ultimate desti nation. It was with great satisfaction we lately learnt that ardent friends to our great undertaking are likely to be found in the enterprizing merchants and traders of Baltimohe, and along the whole line of transportation thence to Wheeling. All rivalry between the Railroad and the Canal is at an endj and it has become the interest of the Stockholders in the Railroad Company, as well as of the City of Baltimore, that the Canal should be completed, within the shortest possi ble space of time, to Cumberland. To accom plish this great object, all that is necessary is that Baltimore shall will it. With her cordial co-operation, there will be no occasiorf to wait for the action of congress, or of the State Legislatures referred toj for it may be easily anticipated by loans to the amount necessary to accomplish that object, to the amount of not more than (say) two millions of dollars. Nat. Int. ITEMS. The Boston Mercantile Journal accuses th# Philadelphians of a plagiarism in having open ed a Hotel which they call the Tremont House. If we were the Bostonians we would pay off this poaching, by opening a Fair Mount Water works, which they would be sure to improve upon, as they do on every thing in Boston; though they might find it troublesome to coun terfeit the Schuylkill. Perpetual Motion—Another Case.—A Wheel ing Editor says, that there is somebody in that town exhibiting a machine which he (the edi tor) thinks, as far as he can judge, is the real perpetual motion. We are rather of the opin ion that the worthy editor will find that it is a perpetual motion only pro tempore. The New Bedford Gazette having stated it as a remarkable circumstance, that fifty horses died by heat in January last on the Citizens’ Stage Coach line, while not one had died du ring the excessive heat of the present Summer; the Boston Post expresses the opinion, that there is nothing very extraordinary about it—for,says the editor, the Imat by which the fifty horses perished last winter was caused by the burning of a large barn where the horses were stabled, and we have had no heat this Summer equal to that. The editor of the Post has’nt been in New York during the past week, or he would have some hesitation in deciding that point too positively. The Lowel Journal mentions that a couple of locomotives are budding in that town for the Boston and Lowell Hail Road, one of which is called “David Crockett.” This is undoubted ly an excellent name for a steam carriage, and we have no question that it will go ahead” like fury. Davy is travelling toward-, immorta lity with awful velocity it must be confessed, and whether he or Jack Downing will go into sober history as a real personage, and which of them as a merely imaginary creation, it impossible at this moment to say.' The hint on this subject, which we extracted yesterday fiom the Alex andria Gazette, is well given, and we commend it to the attention of those who are petting the two prodigies with so much unwearied pertina city. A tolerably good joke grows flat upon the fifteen hundreth repetition. Lightning• for the Poles.—We perceive by the I Boston papers, that the feeling in favor of the j expatriated Poles is becoming electrical in that city. Dr. King announces that he should deli ver a lecture on lightning for their benefit at Chauncy Hall, and we hope, for the sake of the exiles, that his phenomena succeeded in attact ing a large audience. The Doctors never han dled more benevolent lightning. Capt. Alden Partridge, formerly of West Point and afterwards ot the Military Academy at Middletown, Conn, is in nomination for Con% gress from a district in Vermont. The Captain, t we believe, is an out-and-outer for Gen. Jack son and the “experiment.” The Massachusetts folk about Boston conti nue to drive a steady business in the suicide line. We havn’t kept up with all the late cases, but the two last we notice in a paper received yesterday morning and here they are: a man named Ruggles, at work for Mr.Elijah Hubbard, in South Dedham, on Tuesday last hung him self in his employer’s barn. On Friday morn ing a man named Jesse Goodenough,(bad enough we are sure,) was found hanging to a tree in a small copse of wood at Roxbury. Verdict death by. hanging himself in a temporary tit of insanity.—N. V. Cour. PLEASURE EXCURSION To Old Point, Norfolk, and Cape Henry. THE STEAMER COLUMBIA, Capt. Jas.

BALLOON ASCENSION. Mr. N. J. Ash made a most beautiful and sue* cessful ascension in a balloon from Analostan Island on Wednesday evening last. Those who were present unite in saying that this was one of the most beautiful exhibitions of the kind ever witnessed. A large concourse of citizens as sembled at the appointed hour at the garden on the Island, to witness the process of inflating the balloon; and thousands crowded the adjoin ing shores and heights to see the adventurer take his flight in upper air.” After several small balloons had been sent up, and every thing was prepared, at a little after six o’clot k Mr. Ash took his seat in the car, and the cords being cut, majestically ascended, amidst the huzzas of the immense crowd. The balloon continued its upward flight to a great distance, and w’as then borne off in a .north-easterly di rection—remaining distinctly visible all the time. We understand that Mr. Ash descended safely at no great distance from Washington, and secured his balloon without its having re ceived any damage. He will doubtless furnish the particulars of his aerial voyage, which we shall publish. LOUISIANA ELECTION. The following account of the result of the Louisiana Election is given in a letter from New Orleans to the editors of the National Intelligen cer— I presume it will not be unacceptable to have information of the glorious triumph the Whig party have just achieved in this State.— The complete returns have been received to day, with the exception of two or three unim portant Parishes. The whole vote will be ra ther above 10,000, of which Mr. White will have 6,000 and Mr. Dawson (the Jackson candidate) 4,000. The Whigs have elected their entire delegation to Congress, and from two-thirds to three-fourths of the State Legislature! In this District, there were two Whigcandidates, whose aggregate vote was 2,946, and the Jackson vote 1,381: Henry Johnson (Whig) is elected by a majority of 516 over the aggregate vote of both his opponents. In the 2d District there were four candidates: General Ripley is elected by a plurality of votes, and not a majority of the whole number—say 1,167 out of about 2,700.— Gen. Ripley has heretofore been a warm Jack son man, but, recently, he publicly renounced Jacksonism, and has been chosen by a majorty of about 200 over Chinn, the regular Whig candidate, who injured his vote, by advocating Dawson for Governor from personal feelings.” In the 3d District, Mr. Garland is re-elected by a large majority over Gen. Walker the most popular and able Jackson man in the State, and who was, from those causes, selected last winter to run against Judge Porter for the United States Senate. Nothing can exceed the dismay of our opponents, particularly in the Ci ty vote, where they have invariably carried their ticket since 1825, and now to be beaten by near ly two to one, (958 to 542.) is w’hat they cannot understand.” You may put it down as certain that the Jackson partv is dead in Louisiana never again to revive. This defeat drives hundreds of wavering votes from their ranks to the Whigs.” As soon as the Governor elect arrives from Washington, a grand Jubilee will be given in honor of our triumph. May our sister States follow the example that Louisiana has set them in the first general election that has taken place since the Experiment” has been in oper ation.” The foregoing account is from one opposed to the Administration. The following is from the New Orleans Argus, the Jackson organ in that city, which it will be seen, does not, in the least, mend the matter. We have further returns to-day of the elec tion, but they do not inspire us with the least hope. Gen. Walker, it appears, is beaten in the third Congressional District, by Mr. Garland—mak ing our defeat total and complete. Our not be ing accustomed to distasters of this sort, ren ders them peculiarly unpleasant. In our palmy days, when the Opposition people trembled at i our waked wrath,” and the ballot boxes were wont to give a better account of themselves, wc were as merry as crickets. But this unexpect ed reverse has unsettled our humor, and we leel all the horrors of a cast-down minority.— To be sure the Whigs haven’t crowded over us much; but their forbearance in this respect, is doubtless owing to the sympathy they feel for j our unhappy situation.” The election being thus fairly over and settled, j and theJackson papers themselves acknowl- edging their defeat to he total and complete,” \ye may say, well done Louisiana! TRIBUTE or RESPECT to Mr. FORREST. The New York papers give full accounts of the flattering tribute which the citizens of that city have awarded to our distin guished tragedian. A committee including among its number many of the distinguished citizens of New York, who were desirous of uniting in some suitable public testimonial to Mr. Forrest, decided on presenting him a'gold medal, with his bust in profile on one side, and a figure of the genius of tragedy, with suita ble emblems, on the other. He was also invited to a public dinner, which took place on Friday last, at the City Hotel.— The Hon. Wm. T. McCoun, Vice Chancellor, presided, on whose right was seated the guest, in honor of whom the feast was provided, and on his left the HonorabieC. W. Lawrence, Mayor of the City. Among the guests were the mana-1 gers of the several principal theatres in the Unit ed States. The speeches and toasts on the oc casion were numerous, and altogether, this tri bute has been as creditable to the enlightened liberal citizeus of a sister city, as it has been flat tering in the highest degree, to Mr. Forrest. j We should gladly republish the whole of these interesting proceedings, did the state of our co lumns permit, but we have only room for th e conclusion of Mr. Forrest’s able and eloquent reply to the address and ton-t of (/il2l McCoun. In conclusion, Mr. Forrest ob$er “One allusion in yoar remarks hasawuk emotions of the keenest sensibility. it home to me, more strongly than all the r ho# deeply I am indebted to you: for vou not only strewn my own path with flowers T nnnKln/1 mo 4/% r?

It must require a good degree of moral courage” to be a tem perate man in that quarter: Health of the City.—The weather has been very warm in the middle of the day, during tie T»ast ten days, but the mornings and evenings are becoming cool and agreeable. Light show ers have not been unfrequent, and health prevalent in the city. We he.ar of no sickness at all. There is a matter which deeply con cerns the health of the people, an abuse, which has been too long suffered to exist. If it should be told abroad that in New Orleans the water was taken up from the Gutters and sold to t! e citizens to drink, it would not be believed, yet such is the fact. We have seen water sellers filling their casks from the gutters of canal street. The water of the river is filthy almost beyond endurance, but with the addition it re ceives by washing over the rotten offals and other nuisances deposited in gutters, it must be little less than poison. Let the city authorities pass a severe ordinance against this vile prac tice. Let them look to it. A Rarity.—We yesterday received New Or leans papers—the first we have seen for two or three weeks past! The story of the assassination of Robert Pot ter, of North Carolina, by Mr. O’Bryan, his com petitor for the Legislature, is contradicted. The Petersburg Constellation says, it is all a mis take. Mr. Potter is alive, and likely long to live.” _ At Newfoundland, the Treasury seems to be somewhat in a condition approaching our Post Office Department. The Legislature ha vim: closed a long session, but without any parti cular good, having been unable to discharge the rent of the apartments hired for their use, tie* furniture has therefore been levied upon to .-a tisfy the demands of the lady contractor, vim has advertised them for sale.

The Annual Commencement of this Institu tion took place on Tuesday, 29th July, inst, at 10 o’clock, A. M. The Exercises were opened by Recben Ci.f* ry, a Virginian of graceful figure and express ive features. In a rapid and condensed skeh ii he glanced over the fields of FRENCH LITE RATURE, and touched on the characteristic points of the most celebrated French writers, with taste and judgment. Our old acquaint ance Molilhk appeared to receive no quarter at the hands of the youthful moralist. The works of the comic Poet U’ere characterized as insidi ous in their plot, and immoral in their tendency The Valedictory was affecting, and the coun tenance and elocution of the speaker harmo nized with the solemn and tearful farewell—to his leliowr-Students—his Professors—and his AI ma Mater. The finished Alumnus retired from the Pro* cenium adorned with sparkling medals, and with the more solid ornament of a well-cari ed Diploma. The CHARACTER of DEMOSTHENES

wa touched off with spirit, by Joseph R. Peae son, a youth of slender form, shrill voice, and much gesticulation. His declamation, like his subject, was bold, vehement and overwhelming. The GREEK ODE by Richard D. Cutts was delivered with all the majesty of the ore rotundo, and brought to our recollection the rumbling adjunct of the pebbles used by the prince of Orators. Christians though we be, we confess a decid ed predilection for heathen Greek; and we would earnestly urge on the attention of mo dern Greek Poets the exact observance of a slow, clear, and distinct enunciation of that no ble language. Owing to the rapidity of the speaker’s uiterance, or, perhaps,—to an inci pient rust on the edge of our own Greek learn ing, we declare that though we sat, With out stretched necks to catch the glorious sounds,” the only phrase we could grasp in the whole Ode was O Andres agathoi.” The Oration on SCHOLASTIC ART, by George S. Kennedy, rivetted our attention. In asserting the superiority of mental over Mate rial Philosophy, the Orator reminded us of by- j irone days,—of the days of mood and figure, i when the dictum of the Stagyrite was quoted and received as decisive. We were pleased to see our favorite Syllogism vindicated, and its legitimate province assigned. Induction may, i indeed, be deemed the handmaid of Syllogism, j —supplying the materials for its Major: but their provinces and duties are totally distinct, j We have, therefore, often read with suprise cer tain passages in the writings of Bacon, Locke, and the Scotch Metaphysicians, urging the sub- solution of Induction for the Syllogism;—the substitution of the collected materials—for the constructed Edifice! SUPER FLUMINA BABVLOMS” form- ed the subject of a correct Elegeiac delivered by Peter K. Bonfokd, with judicious pauses and metrical accuracy. And here, though not Alum ni of a Catholic College, we do not hesitate to declare that those Institutions alone, throughout j the British Islands and .North America, retain i and teach the correet pronunciation of the La- j tin Language. Wo were, therefore, much pleased wun me young Poet’s broad, Roman, sound of the vow els a and e, and indulged the consolatory reflec tion that if ever his avocations should lead him to visit Europe, he bids fair to escape the sup pressed, though polite, smiles with which the well-bred scholars of that continent listen to j the unintelligible Latin quotations of English and American Tourists.* The COLLEGE DORMITORY, a Parody on Gray’s Elegy, delivered by John McGuigan, abounded with strokes of genuine humor, and felicitous allusions to the minute economy of the little world bounded by the student’s limit ed horizon. L’HONNEUR, a Poem, by Julius Garasche, exhibited to perfection that peculiarity of ac cent, and nasal pronunciation of the Elements, upon which that politest of .Nations, France, prides herself; and to which characteristic beau ties Erasmus eniettained an antipathy so irre concilable. In the French Ode, a* in the Greek Poem, the principal difficulty we encountered was the speaker’s rapidity of utterance; though perhaps, 1 after all, the fault lay in ourselves. In languug- j es. not vernacular, we appear to require slow- j ness of pronunciation, for nearly the same rea son that staid gentlemen of last century prefer red the Minuet to the Reel: because the former M>rved to exhibit the graces of saltatory motion, Without the physical exertion, incessant atten ti »n, and consequent fatigue which invariably accompanied the latter. The DEATH of NAPOLEON by Charles F. King; an Oration ON ELOQUENCE, by Dun- j A. Kennedy, and, ON GENIUS, by James R.

What are the highest anticipations connected with this world, when compared to the certain ty of an eternity of unalloyed happiness in that which is to come—happiness, which eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, nor the imagination of man conceived!” In silence we closed the grave. The last of fices of affection had been paid. The body had been committed to the earth, and the spirit to God who gave it! An Englishman residing in Philadelphia, re cently advertised for a respectable colored ■wo man to become his wife. The Augusta (Geo.) Chronicle has the lollowing notice of the adver tisement, from which it appears likely that the advertiser will be speedily suited to his taste. Intereating News.—We understand, (and we have information from the most respectable au thority,) that the high minded Pennsylvanian, who has risen so far above the vulgar prejudi ces of the age, as publicly to advertise lor a “young, intelligent, and respectable female, chiefly or entirely ol African blood,” aa a wife, is hkeiy to be accommodated. A female, an swering the description, as black as the most zea lous fanatic could wish for a bedfellow, intelli gent and respectable,” is about to leave this place, lor New York, in a day or two, with a let ter irom her owner, a respectable gentleman of this city, to the Editor of the Liberatorau thorising him to forward her to the advertiser, for the purpose aforesaid.” Irish Sympathy.—A party retiring late from a tavern, in a rather boisterous state, were stop ped by some watchmen. One of the bon vivans recognized in one of the watchmen certain mel lifluous tones which located the speaker on the banks of the river of Blarney. You aie from Cork,” said the man in custody. “Faith, you may say that,” replied Pat, “and many the Ann day 1 turned up the sod in Mulligan’s nursery, there.” “Mulligan’s nursery.” said the captive, finding he had touched the string that reached his heart; “true,” he continued, “1 am the son of Mr. Mulligan.” “The son of Mr. Mulligan,” repeated the watchman, relaxing his fingers which had awkwardly compressed his cravat. The sun of Mr. Mulligan!” said Pat again: “now, faith,if I could swear at all at all, I’d say you are Mas ter George that has been so long abroad.”— “The very same,” said the captive,with an indi cative sigh. The hand of Pat fell by his side argumentatively: “Why, then, Master George, the devil a loot of you i’ll put inside the watch house this blessed night. Master George—do you see that lane—run you devil down there, and don’t let me see your face this night: I’ll look out for a prisoner in place of you.”— So, seizing a sober passenger by the breast, he hurried the unoffending substitute to the watch house, rebuking him for his trying to get away! Come away,” said Pat, or I’ll knock you to smithereens.”—Irish Monthly Magazine. TO THE PUBLIC.

SHEPHERD'S PATENT SPECIFIC OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,) Prepared by C. HERSTONS, near Frederick town, Maryland. Kicbkobd. 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; nut, having connect ed myself with Ur. Judkins in the commencement,! permitted the Ointment to bear his name. The term of the patent having expired on the 26th June, I have j i made an improvement in the tame, and taken out a pa- tent thereon. N. SHEPHERD. d£j“ Imposition having been practised upon the nub i lie by a spurious article, bearing the name of Jud- t kins’ Ointment,” the proprietor avails himself of the mthority granted to him in his letters patent, now to sail the Ointment after hit own name, Hencetortn it vill be known by the name of SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINT M ENT, (formerly Judkins'.) When I first made and prepared this Ointment, and had, in several instances, experienced its good effect sent it to several physicians, with instructions in wh ;ases to apply it, who were of opinion that tne »int' ment would be a valuable public benefit. I ?onc,“"*c that the Ointment would occasionally fall into many hands, some'of whom would probably undertake o make it, and knowing the difficulty of the process ne vertheless. it might be progated in this adultera.ed si. tuation, as it might in some degree resemble the origi nal—and in this way its good effects would be oblitera ted- Under these considerations, I secured the origi nal and certain remedy for those obstinate diseases, some of which have so long baffled the skill ot me dical science: 1st White swellings of every description! 2d Sore legs aiul ulcers of long standing, 3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, partiouUrlythose hardened tumors in women’s breasts, which oftentimes terminate in ulcetated cancers; 4th Felons; or what some people know by thename of catarrhs, of every description. 5th Itheumatic pains ofthe joints; 6th Sprains and bruises ofevery 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 parts affected by frost. It is also one of the best remedies for burns and 9cald«. It eases the pain and draws the fire out in a short time. For inflamed women’s breasts and glandular swcl lings, it is superior to my medicine vet known to the medical faculty. It is much safer than mercurial ap plication-, (as it does not contain the smallest atom of an' 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 the exteiral sore, in consequence of the bones becoming carious oi rotten, it will stop the progress of the caries, increise the quantity of discharge, remove the offen sive smell, and ease the pains. It cures the worst Felods and Whitlows, oil applica tion of forty-eight hours CERTIFICATES. From the Hun. John Cocke, Member of the House of lie• prescntatives in Congress. Wa«hihotoii, Man b 22, 1826 Sir -My son having been afflicted for five yean with vyhite swelling, and having applied every reme dy recommended by the most eminent physicians within mv reach without success, I at length procured one jug of I)r Judkins’ Patent Specific Ointment, and made the application according to the directions ac companving the ointment, antistate, for the benefit of the afflicted, that belore one jug whs 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 indebledi for nothing else was used for more than nine months before the application of the Oint ment.
