TURNING in Wood, Iron, and Brass, may 28—ly PROSPECTUS OF THE VI R 01 N1A Ji E A Til. fllHE subscriber proposes to publish in Win JL Chester, (Va.) an exclusively literary pa per, with the above title. '1 he advantages of periodical literature are so well known and so highly appreciated at the present day, that the subscriber would be con tent that this prospectus should contain nothing more than a mere annunciation of the manner in which the contemplated paper will be con ducted—the editor’s expectation of assistance from many literary individuals—together with assurances of attention and diligence on his own part, if it was not that the prevalency of an opinion that a purely literary paper cannot suc ceed in this section of country, has been the cause of the failure of many such undertakings heretofore. It is only deemed necessary to ask the public to discard an opinion, which, predi cated on no proper grounds, is still the great and almost only reason of the depressed state of this branch of literature in Virginia and the South generally; for surely the fact that there is no part of our country which is not overflow ing with foreign literary periodicals, is an evi dence of an interest in and a spirit to support li terature. And most certainly, when it is recol lected that the South has ever relied with honor and success upon her own resources in every other respect, no one will doubt her ability to build up and maintain the character of literary works within her own boundaries. Let it there-1 fore be seen that u spirit to support and the ta-1 lent to maintain should be the only reasons of the absence of these literary repositories in any country; and let a liberal patronage furnish the benefits of an extended circulation to the trea sures of Southern genius. The columns of the Virginia Wheath will con tain much good original matter—many indivi duals of high merit, some of whom have alrea dy distinguished themselves in the literary world, having tendered their assistance—with selec tions from the best American and British perio dicals, comprising Tales, Essays. Reviews, Poe try. Literary notices, 4c. This paper will be issued weekly, neatly exe cuted on fine paper with small type, and con tain in each number 9 quarto pages, at S3 00 per annum, payable at the end of six months, or S3 50 if not paid within the year. Postmasters, editors, and others, who act as agents, will lie entitled to an eleventh copy gratis, or ten per cent, on all moneys forwarded. The first num ber will be issued as soon as an intimation is had of sufficient patronage to defray the expen ses of publication. JAMES R. GARDNER.

At midnigM, in his guarded tent, The Turk was dreaming of the hour When Greece, her knee in suppliance bent, Should tremble at his power in dreams, through camp and court, he bore The trophies of a conqueror: In dreams his song of triumph heard} Then wore his monarch’s signet ring; Then press’d that monarch’s throne,—a king; As wild his thoughts, and gay of wing, As Eden’s garden bird. At midnight, in the forest glades, Bozzaris ranged his Suliote band, True as the steel ol their tried blades, Heroes in-heart and hand. There had the Persian’s thousands stood, There had the glad earth drunk their blood On old Platx'u’s day; And now there breathed that haunted air The sons of sires who conquer’d there, With arm to strike, and sou! to dare, As quick, us fur as they. An hour pass’d on—The Turk awoke; That bright dream was his last; He woke—to hear his sentries shriek. ;'To arms! they come! the Greek! the Greek!” He woke—to die ’midst flame, and smoke, And shout, and groan, and sabre stroke. And death shots falling thick and fust As lightnings from the mountain cloud; And heard with voice as trumpet loud, Bozzaris cheer his band: Strike—till the last arm’d foe expires; Strike—for your altars and your flies; Strike—for the green graves of your sires; God—and your native land!” They fought—like brave men, long and By EDGAR SNOWDEN. Daily paper Country paper JS per annum. 5 per annum. Thev piled that ground with Moslem slain; They conquer’d—but Bozzuris fell, Bleeding at every vein. His few surviving comrades saw llis smile when rang their proud hurrah, And the red field was won; They saw in death his eyelids close Calmly, us to a night’s repose, Like flowers at set of sun. Come to the bridal chamber, Death! Come to the mother’s, when she feels, For the tirst time, her first born’s breath; Come when thp blessed seals That close the pestilence are broke, And crowded cities wail its stroke; Come in consumption sghastiy funn, The earthquake shock, the ocean storm; Come when the heart beats high and warm, With banquet-song, and dance, and wine; And thou art terrible—the tear. The groan, the knell, the pall, the bier, And all we know, or dream, or fear Of agony, are thine But to the hero, when his sword Has won the battle tor the free, Thy voice sounds like a prophet’s word; And in its hollow tones are heard The thanks of millions yet to be. Come, when his task of fame is wrought— Come, when her lain el-leaf, blood-bought— Come in her crowning hour—and then Thy sunken eye’s uneaithly light To him is welcome us the sight Of sky arrd stars to prison’d men: Thy grasp is welcome as the hand Of brother in a foreign land: Thy summons welcome as the cry That told the Indian isles were nigh To the world-seeking Genoese, When the land wind, from woods of palm, \nd orange groves, and fields of balm, Blew o’er the Haytian seas. Buzzard! with the storied brave Greece nurtured in her glory’s time, Rest t'nee—there is no prouder grave, Even in her own proud clime. She wore no funeral weeds for thee, Nor bade the dark hearse wave its plume, Like torn branch from death’s leafless tree, In sorrow’s pomp and pageantry. The heartless luxury ol the tomb: But she remembers thee as one Lon" loved, and for a season gone. For thee her poet’s lyre is wreathed; Her marble wrought, her music breathed, For thee she rings her birth day bells; Of thee her banes’ first lisping tells; For thine her evening prayer is said At palace couch, and cottage bed; Her soldier, closing with the foe, conducted upon purely Phrenodontological principles—I have made a provision of one hundred thirty thousand dol lars in my will. (1 wish I could atfoid to have it put in operation now; but as 1 have not yeti cceiv ed from the government of any of the nation'of the earth, the pensions they will undoubtedly award me, on the receipt and knowledge of my system, I think the scheme impracticable.) k- The mind of man lies in his teeth.” This proposition requires no proof. As soon as it is stated, we perceive the utter absurdity of the doctrine inculcated by the Phrenologists, aud so generally believed, that the bruin is 4he seat of the mind. If facts, however, are required, we can state them. The only difficulty is in select ing from the vast mass with which we are sur rounded. I will relate a circumstance which once happened to myself, and by which 1 near ly lost my life, it was about eight years ago— two years after I had discovered my system. Had 1 lost my life before my system was revealed to the world—but no—HI not dwell upon the thought. 1 was walking along the street, one day, w hen 1 observed a man approaching me, who, as I judged from the shape of his face, had a re markable protuberance in the internal dexter corner of the second molar of the left lower jaw, where is situated the organ that would make a man a murderer. I should have avoid ed him, had my caution been great. As it was, my curiosity being well developed, 1 appi oached, and stopped him. Bless me! said I, my dear sir, will you have the kindness to let me look at your mouth a moment? His looks ex pressed what I then took to be surprize, but what, upon recollection, 1 am satisfied must have been demoniacal rage and malice. I* ur ther than this, he made me no answer, but opened his mouth in such a manner as a shark would, when about to bite a man’s bead offi I have a thousand times since, shuddered at the thought of my situation at that moment. It was as 1 had supposed,—the organ of murder was horribly developed. Well, sir,” said he, in a voice of thunder, what is the result of your examination of my mouth?” I should think, sir,” w as_my reply, that you were more like ly to have committed a murder than any per son of my acquaintance.” u W hat, sir.’' said he, do you—” Phrexodovtology. Taney Dinner in Cecil.—"W e thought theBalti moreatiaira poor thing: ond-liad hoped that tiiat j mournful exhibition would liave restrained Mr. j Taney’s ambition within prudential bounds; and so it probably would, had he not previously uc- j cepted invitations to “dine out.” In Frederick he performed wonders, having converted old foes into new friends, and united in denouncing federalism on the very ground where he had ex erted himself for years as the champion of that cau>e. These summersets are now, however, trivial matters; as we have scarcely a patent democratic editor in the Union, who has not tak- j (>n the leap and turned his coat. Even the Si mon Pure .st,” “the Hero of Two Wars,” “the Pre server of the Constitution,” the Saviour of his Oountrv?” Has lie not been called every thing yet bestowed upon the most despotic tyrants by the craw ling dependents of their footstools? Has not servility taxed her fruitful brain for pane g\ tics to his actions, till she has herself sickened at her subserviency, and tier glib and restless tongue tired itself out in eulogies the most ful some? hat more of praise and flattery does be demand? Has he not been lauded to the skie> in every part of the country? Ha« he not i been shown in marble, and plaster, and wood, and canvass, enough to gratify his insatiable appetite for applause? Has he not graced the ball room saloons in the mimic majesty of busts and pictures yet enough? Has he not floated [on flags and swung upon sign posts? Has he not presided over ten thousand banqueting halls, and enlivened ami excited the revels of debauch to his heart’s content? Have not hog? Why, sir, a man cannot even take a drink, but we see him on the pitcher, or in the bottom of the tumbler. No Representative, sir, I believe, but can appeal to his bust or his portrait, or some trophy of lus I fame, in the halls of legislation. sir, a man can't got snaveu wnnoiu lenmg his presence on his razor or his box. No bar her conceives his shop sufficiently decorated to I receive his customers without bedizzening his walls with the resemblance of the chieftain.— 1 Our very habilaments may bear some evidence I of the impress of his bloated reputation. e j have Jackson hats and Jackson coats, and Jack son trowsers, and Jackson boots, and Jackson slippers. From our public squares to the coun i try taverns,from the Halls of State to our modest homes, all is Jackson, Jackson, Jackson. Why, I sir, a mun can’t enter into the retirement of his bed-chambcr, but he may see his head, his servi ces and may be now, sir, his wounds, displayed upon the curt rins of his windows, or liis couch. I And yet, sir. we arc told we have not lauded him 1 enough. His maw still calls for more of the nu triment of flattery. Though guns, drums, and trumpets have j thundered his exploits—though crowds have fol lowed him in his journeying*—though we have I huzzaed in thousands at his presence, and tos i sed our caps at his coming, and climbed to win dows and to chimney tops to see him pass: though j ev^n Black Hawk hi- fellow soldier, drew less crowded streets tne Hem of New Orleans.asks for more fla'tery .and fawning. So little satisfied 1 is he wi’h the Ceaseless pra e of tfie people, he has got to p; Ai-ing him--oil— verifying the ad age, that as hi.; trumpet .ts are dying he trum -PPtsjfm- himself ‘‘When, sir Generd Jackson i* thus-lauded —when his mea-ur-s. good and bad, are thu> sustained and defended, what more does he waffi? What is it he asks us yet to endure to discharge this mighty debt our country owes him? A debt so far as gratciu* mail an: endless panegyric can pay, is fully paid. If u has the approval of hi* own conscience, he ha had all the noblest patriot can desire. But, sir it still rings in our ears that we are ye: his deb! ors! When we complain of his measures, and ask to represent our grievances, we are told of our obligations to him, and that it is our duty to endure yet patiently, and longer, for the sake of him to whom we owe so much. \Y hat r!-» is it we can owe him. Is it money? Let hin name his sum—let him tell us how’ much h,s bat les of Eckmuefaw and the Horse Shoe are i worth—at what he estimates his care of the me ralsofthe people, and his lessons of political ecc j nomy: let him tell us what price his KitchenCa j bind is worth, and what he’ll take to retire ti. the saloons of the Hermitage: let him say what he’ll take for Taney, for Kendall, and for Whit ney, ft id oin/it genua: so far as this county is concerned, I’ll engage, sir, it will be cheerfully voted to him.

ALEXANDRIA^ ^pnvganAY MORNING, SEPT. 10, 1331. BABBAD0E3.-By the Brig Amulet, Capt. ..ER=i0X at this port, from Barbadoes, we advices from that Island up to the 22d Au Every thing remained as yet perfectly "'It though there appeared to b« a consider* S iichc-on to idleness. It was understood 3ome slight disturbances had occurred at Martinique. The measure of the British Go rnrnent which causes so much anxiety, rela w the West Indies, will and already has '^tendency to induce a considerable emigra to* this country. For Prices Current at Rarbadoea, see the Commercial head, r. .mts of letters from Barbadoes, under date Er- J of 20th August. rverv thing is quiet on the part of the ne f' ,v[t\ vo have nothing, we think, to appre th* neW condition as free are behaving most exemplary and cre of a Utter from Barbadoes, dated Au ~r J gust 19. n,.r hWt Laborers continue to behave ve il Not so, however, in the neighboring nf Demerara and Trinidad, where, by SfSrjSSET a ff.I «f iu^uhordioa mifested. In these possessions a ge lV7aZ* resSance t, labor is evinced, but Jiolence attempted. Yet it will be very m "n vement if the laborers do not return to t heir u tor it will very materially injure the plan* t uions It would appear that our government i q not wish to use harsh measures, except in jtrenie cases.’ I’ne Gold humbug will ru.i the agrouud as sure as fate, if much more is ulqije 0f it. We heard a very go nl Jackson of ours from Virginia say, yesterday, I rdr a great deal about this Gold, but d 1 a A do I see of the precious metal." People read ,o much about Gold will be anxious to han ie it. _ o Inconsistency.—In a reply to an invita ti.rn from the citizens of Huntsville to attend a public dinner, tfie President of the United States !ia> written an answer declining the honor, but thanking then) for their politeness,—which re piy concludes with this sentence: We can never yield to the pretensions w Inch are now set up for the Xutioiutl Bunk ot u Xatioual Hunk, without engrafting upon the l,i* s a principle of irresponsible power, hostile ••to liberty and poisonous to the public morals. The public morals”! u Still harping on my daughter.” But that is nut the object of our comment. Tne reader w ill see that the abo\e is ah unqualified objection to the establishment of the Bank, or a Bank, or any thing like n Bank. In his famous Veto Message, this same President of the United States made the follow ing equally unqualified assertion in favor of the Bank or Bank: That a Bank of the United States, cotnpe tent to all the duties which may be required “by the Government, might he so organized as “not to infringe on our own delegated powers, or the reserved rights of the States, I do not “entertain a doubt. Had the Executive been “called upon to furnish the project of such an institution, the duty would have been cheer 4 fully performed.” A:id again, in the same Message, he said: A Bank of the United State* is in many re spects convenient tor the Government and useful to the people.” Now, what are we to think of such a political satyr, blowing hot and cold almost in the same brc-ith. What are we to think but that he is en tire-. incompetent, on this particular subject, to give u correct opinion, or even to maintain an np uion >nc rined and expressed. 1 The comha? deepens! On ye brave Who rush to GLORY.” The war b iw *n the Richmond Enquirer •uni the Richmond Whig still continues—” fierce a.-ten furies, terrible as”—newspapers will ad mit! We have quoted the above from Camp 1 -d. :or a motto for our ancient M- tor. L'oubt ‘>s he will adopt it. and thank us for the advice. It i.> rumored that Judge P. P. Barbour has i vome si throughly Jacks ntized in his princi ples as to admit the propriety of Proclamation, Perce Bill and Protest! “0! w hat a falling off here, my countrymen.” It is thought by many, it in return for being choked off two years ago ■y the Van Karen party, it is intended to choke a* Judge on next winter. In such a case, the ^x nvnister to France will have reason to say, “Ingratitude! thou marble-hearted fiend.” Convention is to be held at Suffolk, (Va.) i i ('«'toSer, to nominate an opposing candidate 'l' Loyal!. There is but one opinion as to ‘v' will be ousted, if there is a con centration of the opposition. Mr. Hamilton, of 5>. C., was the Chairman of ;e Retrenchment C •inmittee of t ie House of 11’ i'* t st ntativ» s, and in his famous report com mented severely upon the chair in wrich Mr. J. U. i tenants was concti.i -d. relative to carry in? despatches to Buenos Ayiv>;—the case is p rh ips fimiliar to our readeis. The last Rich 111 onvl Whig says: As to Gov. Hamilton, we have within a few i tthN received a letter from him, atoning to "tir ••■mgs tor his activity in that mutter, and ‘'ontessmg it was i! angelic purity’’ to what has p 'u done by those who promised to reform •uid retrench" all abuses. Me have received the September number of Knickerbocker." Under its new auspices nntinues to prosper. Most of the articles in "s number are well written and interesting. Tne Knickerbocker, we trust, is to become a permanent source of amusement and instruc 'n* c wish its proprietors success. ne Petersburg Constellation states that a in by the name of Win. Black, a driver of the 11 stage, was arrested in the town of Char ‘*s” en the evening of the 2$t!i August. by Afr. Geo. PUtt, an agent of .the Post Office Department, for the supposed robbery of the mail in various places, upon the route from Pitt sylvania C. H. to Washington City. Since Ja nuary last, frequent robberies have been com mitted upon the above route, and others on which said Black had been driving, and fre quent efforts had been made to detect the offen der, but until the present time, without success. Black is now confined in jail in the city of Rich mond, to wait his trial in the United States Court, in November next. The Globe attempts to explain away the pro digality of the present administration, by charg ing it principally to Congress. The monstrous addition to the expenses of the nation, cannot be denied. But in order to clear Gen. Jackson and his “Cabinet improper” from blame, Con I gress is made the scape goat and all the sin is laid at its door. And pray, where have the appropriation bills of the last six years originated? From a Jack son House of Representatives. By whom have these bills been passed? A Jackson majority.— By whom have they been reported to the House? Bv Jmkson Committees of Ways and Means, usually controlled by a Polk or some other man equally subservient to the Chief. Petty Malignity— During President Jack son’s visit to Salem, he accepted ofan invitation to visit the East India Museum in that place, and while there, was requested to comply with the usual custom of visitors by placing his sig nature in a book kept for that purpose. Recent ly his name has been erased from that book, and the woid good exultingly inserted at the end of the erasure. Another Pennsylvania Biot.—Another exhibi tion of that mad spirit of anaichy and violence which is spreading over the country Itke a flood, prostrating the barriers which have hitherto protected the lives and property of the citizens, and overthrowing the laws and good order of the community, was made in this place on Tuesday night last. At the dead hour of mid night—fit time for such deeds of darkness—a i band of riotous persons assembled and attack ed a house in Front street occupied by a black man, the porch and a part of the frame of which they tore down, the inmates leaving the building at the first alarm. Thence the mob proceeded to the office of another colored per son, who deals in lumber, broke open the win i dows and doors', rifled the desk, and scattered the papers along the pavement. Alter attempt ing to upset the building, they marched off. ha ving gamed “glory enough for one night.”— Such proceedings are disgraceful to the char acter of the town, subversive of the quiet and safety of the inhabitants, and insulting to the laws under which we live. Columbia (Pa.) Sj>y. Littell's Museum.—Littell’s Museum of Fo reign Literature, science and art, foi August, is before us, and is an uncommonly rich number —embracing a wide range of literature from the Ganges to the Thames. It is embellished with a portrait of Mi^s Harriet Muilineau, the able and justly popular political economist. This picture, however, is evidently a canicature, ac companied by an abusive article respecting this lady. But it is amusing, from its very oddity. There sits Miss Harriet, by a comfortable grate of coals, holding a skillet in her hand, in the full enjoyment of economical philosophy. The articles around and beside her, are. her tea things, her ink-bottle, her paper, her scuttle, her chair, &o. and all of the utilitarian model. A cat. evidently ‘trained to the utmost propriety of manner,’ sits fondly upon her shoulder, reci procating the caresses of her mistiess. Thus sits the lady, according to Frazier, cooking rows Of chubby duodecimos.'’ M.ss Marlineau is about to visit this country, and her arrival may be looked for with every eastern breeze. We regard her as one of the most extraordinary women of the age. She is said to be somewhat deaf, bm is much better looking titan the pi ints represent her. She will be welcomed here by every one capable of es timating distinguished talents, and distinguished merit—.V. Y. Com. Amusing.—The following article, from a late number of Isaac Hills' X. II. Patriot, is the most amusing piece of egotism we have seen for a long time. hnac evidently thinks himself a clever fellow; but lie will lose his character for cunning, and his modesty will become sus pected, if lie publishes such articles often. Boston Journal. When such reptiles, such crawling syco phants of aristocratic power, as Southard, Chambers, Clayton, Frelinghuysen, and Ew ing, shall be remembered only as the collared serfs, the pensioned slaves of an institution, me nacing the liberties of the country, the name of ISAAC HILL will stand in characters of bold relief by the side of Franki.in and other bene factors of mankind who have been the archi tects uf their own fortune.” Singular Conflict.—One day Inst week a stri ped snafee two feet long, seized a young bull frog in a marsh back ol our office, and bejan to swallow him whole. While in the full tide of successful experiment, a monster of a bull frog crept from the marsh, seized the snake, and be gan to swallow him. He made such fearful progress that soon the snake wasohligt d.to re lease his prey, and defend himself. In spite of his struggles and contortions the frog had swal 1 lowed ail but about an inch of the tail, when some boys began beat and abuse the old frog. During this onset the snake managed to wheel about,'’and soon run his head out of the frog’s mouth, and brandished his forked tongue with much fury. The boys continued to work with the frog until finally the snake crept out and moved off slowly, evidently much injured by the ope ration. We have been greatly provoked, in our boy ish days, to see bullfrogs swallow our young ducks and chickens, but we never before saw the frog carry the war so far into the enemy s i country as to attack its natural enemy, the snake.— Westfield.

Marron exclaimed, the rascal Bonaparte is at Grenoble.” When he advanced to Lyons, M. Marron cried, u Napoleon is at Lyons.” When 1 he approached Paris, M. Marron shouted, “his majesty the Emperor is come.” So the letter of Louis Phillippeto the Bishops in 1831, calls upon them to celebrate the three immortal days of July,”—that of 1832, the great days of July” —that of 1833, the ntenwrable days of July”— that of 1834 drops all laudatory phraseology, and merely recommends the commemoration of j “the days of July.”— French Paper. 1 COMMERCIAL.

The Classical Department will be under the special cure of P. J. McLaughlin, a gentleman i of high literary attainments, of unexceptionable moral character, and who has had considerable i experience in the instruction of youth. In this Institution the Explanatory Mode of, Inst ruction is pursued; which is based upon the j obvious principle, that abstract terms and defi- nitions are less intelligible and pleasing to chil- dren than real objects; and that the instruction which is given entirely in words, can never be so interesting and profitable, as that which is communicated with the aid of visible and tangi- ble things. By thus explaining and illustrating the subjects of study before the students en ter upon them, they are well understood, and their progress is thereby facilitated and much increased. j The Proprietor is decidedly of the opinion that youth are more easily led than driven in the paths of science, and that order, in general, is more effectually secured by a system of mo-; rul. than physical discipline. This Institution continues to he well support- 1 ed, is now in a flourishing condition, and ar- rangernents have been made for the accommo dation an additional number of students, i Tite Proprietor hopes that no exertions on his part, or on th if of ins assistants, will be neglect ed.

RELFE’S Botanical Drops! are every year increasing their long established repu tation. They have outlived many rival preparations, and are continually gaining upon public confidence. The Botanical Drops have been successfully admin iatered for manv years, as a thorough remedy tor that well known and prevalent class of inveterate diseases which originate from a vitiated habit of body, or an he reditary predisposition in the patient, and generally appear under the various and distressing shapes of Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Leprosv, St. Anthony’s Fire, Fever Sores, White Swellings, Scurvy, Fool and Ob stinate Ulcers, Sore Legs and Byes, Scald Head, and Yeoereal Taint. In the last mentioned condition of the system, the Botanical Drops will be found to eradicate the lurk ing poison, where mercury ha9 totally failed, and thus prevfeit the patient from entailing the seeds of an he reditary disease on his offspring l)r. Uelfe’s Botanical Drops are successfully used in cases of violent eruptions after the measles—red blotches —pimples on the face—festering eruptions on the skin—and other diseases of the external surface; and are one of the best Spring and Autumnal physics known, to free the system from humota A physician of eminence, who had witness'd the ef ficacy oi this article, had the candor recently to tick nowledge to the proprietor, that he considered it the best medicine known, for the complaints for which it is intended, and that it ought deservedly to stand at the head of the whole class of such remedies.

IN that long tram of diseases which seem to grow with the growth of civilized society, Consumption takes the lead in its relentless inroads upon human lilt; yet ‘his dreadful disorder is easily overcome in its earlier s»sge3. It is only when neglected that it ar rives at the terrific maturity whl.h so often baffles the sagacity if professional science. An obstinate cough is the custom try forerunner of the pulmonary con sumption Improper neglect in the timely adminis tration of simple and salutary remedies, is sure to be reproved by a dreadful succession of consumptive avmptoms —oppression of the breast; greenish and bloody spittle; ulcerated lungs and hectic fever; shri veiled extremities, and general emaciation of the whole body; prostration of s'rengtb; flushed cheeks; swollen feet and legs; and at last, in the full posses aionofthe mental Faculties, and while hope still whis pers her flattering tale—told extremities, and a pie mature death. For the various stages of this complaint, one of the most approved remedies ever yet discovered is DU. RELFE’S ASTHMATIC PILLS. This exceedingly powerful, and yet equally safe and innocent preparation, has effected thorough and rapid cures upon patients supposed to have been far advanc ed in a confirmed Consumption, and who have exhibit ed the appearances which usutlly indicate a fatal ter mination of ibe disorder. As the Fills require in ordinary cases no confine ment, they may be administered with confidence and safety to all ages and classes of people. Unexampled 1 •ucctsi has hitherto attended their administration in a great variety of cases; and the proprietor can refer to j a multitude, which testify to their efficacy in reviving the emaciated victim trom the bed of disease, and re j storing him to the blessings of accustomed health and i activity.

SHEPHERD'S patent specific OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,) Prepared by C. HERSTONS, near Frederick- J to ten. Maryland. Kicimqid) Va- July 15, 1850. THE public will be pleased to understand that 1 was the original discoverer of Judkins' Ointment, and sole proprietor of tbe patent from September, 1817, until the expiration of the same; but, having connect ed myself with Dr. Judkins in the commencement, I permitted the Ointment to bear his name. The term of the patent having expired on the 26th June, I have made an improvement in the same, and taken oat a pa tent thereon. N. SHEPHERD. (CT Imposition having been practised upon the pub lic by a spurious article, bearing the name of Jud kins’ Ointment,” the proprietor avails himself of tbe authority granted to him in his letters patent, now to call the Ointment after his own name. Henceforth it will be known by the name of SHEPHERD'S PATENT SPECIFIC OINT MENT, (formerly Judkins'.) When I firat made and prepared this Ointment, and had, in several instances, experienced its good effects, I sent it to several physicians, wi*h instructions in what cases to apply it, who were of opinion that the Oint ment would be a valuable public benefit. I concluded that the Ointment would occasionally fall into many hands, some of whom would probably undertake to make it, and knowing the difficulty nf the process—ne vertheless, it might be progated in this adulterated si tuation, as it might in some degree resemble the origi nal—and in this way its good effects would be oblitera* ted Under these considerations, 1 secured the origi nal and certain remedv for those obstinate.diseases, some of which have so long bafHe 1 the skill of me dical science: 1st White swellings of every description} 2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing, 3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularly those hardened tumors in wom*n’s breasts, which oftentimes terminate in ulceiated cancers; 4th Felons; or what some people know by thename of catarrhs, of every description. 5th Rheumatic pains of the joints; 6th Sprains and brakes ofevery description, or in whatever part situate; 7th fetters of all kinds. In this complaint the pa tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part out of water; 8th Chilblains or parts iffectetl by frost. It is also one of the best remedies for burns and scabb. It eases the pain and draws the fire out in a short time. For inflamed women’s breasts and glandulsr swel lings, it is superior to uiy medicine yet known to the medical faculty It is much safer than mercurial ap plications, (as it does not contain the smallest atom of any preparation of the mineral,) because it docs not Ly tiie 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 exte:i ai sore, in consequence of the bones becoming carious oi rotten, it will stop the. progress of the caries, increi.se the qu mtity of discharge, remove the ofFen sive smell, and ease the pains 1 It cures the wont FeloJs and Whitlows, on applica tion of forty-eight hours CERTIFICATES.
