'I he advantages of periodical literature are so '♦.*11 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 more 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 ussuiances of attention and diligence on his own part, if it was not that the prevalency ol 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; lor surely the fact that there is no part of our country which is nut 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 Jgcted 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 fore be seen that a spirit to support and the ta lent to maintain should be the only reasons of the absence of these literary repositories in any country; and iet a liberal patronage furnish the benefits of an extended circulation to the trea sures of Southern genius.

Anonymous Wine.— On Lord Byron’s favorite servant one day opening a bottle of wine in Greece, his lordship questioned him ns to its name and lineage, oi both of which t lctchei acknowledged his ignorance. ‘‘Then away with i»,” rejoined Byron, u 1 hate anonymous wine.” Charles X. has bought the domain of Nachod, in Bohemia, for 2, 500,000 florins. This estate is said to comprise more than 40,000 inhabi tants, and to confer almost absolute sovereign ty on its proprietor. The Ex-King may there fore stiil play the Monarch on a small scale. Demoralized state of the flnlish Army.—Mr. Ellice has informed the House of Commons, that in the last two years one fifth of the whole army on English stations has passed through the public gaols.” One fifth in two years is the same as the tenth annually; anti this presents to be sure a pretty picture. A gentleman named Young, residing at Main, Elgiu, has in his possession a sparrow pel fectly white. He secured it when going to roost one evening, and it is now quite tame. Fifteen persons were killed lately at Stradel la, in Piedmont, by the falling of a church tow er, a short time before divine service. Elisonde, in the North of Spain, which Don j Carlos has made his head quarters, is a small j i town at tiie left bank ol the Bidussou. the chief j place of the valley of Fastan, and eight leagues and a half north of Pampebftta. Letters written from Gibraltar by the Nea- j1 politan Consul, and received ut Marseilles, an nounce that peace has been concluded between j the King of the two Sicilies and the Emperor of I Morocco. At the recent exhibition of manufactures in Paris, the King of the French conferred the decoration of the Legion of Honor on Mr. j Pierre Erard, the celebrated harp and piano forte manufacturer. We learn from Hanover that the first Cham ber of the States General has rejected the arti- cle, passed by the Second Chamber, for making useol the guillotine, instead of the axe, in exe- j i cutions. The risibility of some of the inhabitants of: Wakefield was roused by the following notice i of the towncrier:—u Lost-: a barber and a coach- man; whoever has found ’em may keep ’em, for j them that’s lost’em won’t seek ’em” The ar- j tide* lost were, we suppose, white; if of a dark I color, there are some countries wherethey would i have been sought eagerly enough. The Hob Roy yacht, lately sold by bir Hyde Parker to a gentleman residing near Belfast, t has been seized at Carrickfergus, by Captain Cox, of the Coast Guard Sendee, and con- I denmed as a pr ize, being laden with contraband tobacco. The Earl of Oxford has paid all his credi- I tors. The estates have been ut nurse tor a quarter of a century;and during that long peri- I od his Lordship has been in seclusion. Hay- I wood Hall, a romantic place in the midst of a wood, has been his dwelling. Passengers may now travel in about twenty- seven hours from London to Brussels. Cherries have not been so plentiful in Kent for the last fifty years. They are hawked about at Maidstone, literally in cart loads, at a penny j per pound. The crop of apples is also good, r but pears, plums, and filberts area failure. Hobart Town papers estimate the total value s of articles of colonial produce, exported from a Van Diemen’s Land in the year 1833 at £152,- y.56, and of the imports, consisting chiefly of t British manufacture, during the same period, at Ji £3,52,864. tf the administration, desci ibed as Hurry lay!" Mr. lugersoil paused after this effort, anticipat ing applause. Not a solitary whisper ensued; Put, on the contrary, a general expression of contempt was uttered throughout tin* assembly.

P. White at the commencement of the late session of Congress, suffered to lie quietly on the table in order to live time for speculation by the Kitchen Cabinet? Was it not resolved as early as January, to change the principles of that Bill, and substitute n its stead the one subsequently passed greatly increasing the value of gold? Immediately upon this determination were pot the Pet Bank* in this city and the Govern ment Brokers, apprised of it,and directed t pur chase upon joint account, all the gold they could find in market? Did not the Marquis of Carmarthan’s Bank purchase undei this notice $179,000 of gold, and lid not the entire purchases of the Pels and Brokers on joint account, exceed one million of lollars? When this was accomplished, did not Amos vendall draft the Gold Bill subsequently passed vithout opposition? In consequence of the increased value given o gold by tins Bill, did m>t the firm of Kendall fc (to. receive upwards of 810.000 as their share >f the speculation? These are all important questions, and should pe promptly answered by the Globe. We pause or a reply.—A’. V. Cour. A young ami very handsome girl, belonging o one of the most respectable families in the State, was, on Sunday morning last, taken from lie steps of a house in Molt street to the Duane street Hospital, far advanced in cholera, and di *d before nightfall. Whilst under the charge of he physicians at the hospital, she informed them >f the circumstances which hud led to her dread nl downfall and subsequent death. She had, or a length of time, been assiduously courted >y an insidious and accomplished young man I good standing, who, on Saturday evening ast, succeeded, after much persuasion, in entic- j ng her to the house from which she was remov- j d to the hospital. About three o’clock on Sun lay morning, she was attacked very severely vith all the symptoms of cholera. The heart 's*; villain who had deceived her, and had al most forced her into the jaws of destruction and eath, deserted her to her fate, as soon as the ymptoins of the disease made their appenr nce, and left her to the tender mercies of the eldamo who kept the gate of perdition which le victim lay within, but who, immediately on earing of the fact, turned the poor creature in the street to die. She was taken up from the avement by some persons who accidentally itnessed her cruel ejectment, and carried by jem to the hospital. During the few hours she ly there, she incessantly wept for her horrid ite, accompanying her lamentations with pray rs for the welfare of him who had brought this ntimely ruin upon her head—and whosename, tough repeatedly importuned to disclose, she arried to her grave unuttered.—X.

The pumps were immediately put in motion and the cargo, valued at about $100,000 was fortunately saved from damage. Oil examina tion it was found that several auger holes had had been bored under the luff of her larboard bow. She had more than a foot of water in the fore hold before the supposed leak was dis covered.

ALEXANDRIA: SATURDAY MORNING, SEPT. 13, 1834. Later from Spain.—By the Herald, arrived at Boston from Cadiz, the Journal has re ceived a file of the Diario Mercantil de Ca diz,” to the 2d of August inclusive. It appears from the papers that the Cholera which has been raging with great violence in some parts of Spain, is now rapidly abating. Accounts from Madrid to the 26th July, state that the num ber of cases within the last few days have di minished in a most extraordinary manner, only seventy having been conveyed to the General Hospital the twenty-four hours previous, and the proportion of those who recover is much greater than at first, when nearly all died who were attacked. This is ascribed in some meas ure to a Jess degree of malignancy in the char acter of the disease, and also to the acquaint ance which the Physicians have gained by ex perience of its nature and effects. 1 hey are represented us having been deplorably ignorant of the proper modes of treating this disease when it first broke out: remedies were not pro vided, or other preparations made to disarm it of its terrors. Dependence was'placed on the cordon sanitaire, and the grand object of go vernment seemed to be to keep the contagion out of the city. This course is very severely blamed in the Diario, and the contagious char acter oi the disease is not admitted. An extract from the Boletin de jUeddicina,” gives a horrid account of the barbarous and unfeeling treatment which travellers received, in some parts of the country, after having left places where the Cholera was known to exist. They were refused admittance into any house —and were menaced wiHi fire arms as they ap proached a village. They were compelled to encamp in the open field—and their sufferings from hunger and thirst were intolerable. These melancholy and disgraceful consequences were t ie result of encouraging on the part of the go vernment the erroneous idea that the Cholera was always communicated by contagion. Theriots in Madrid have not been repeated since the night of the 17th of July—and the fol lowing extract taken from a General Order published at Madrid on the 23d ol July, and which we find in Cadiz paper—might be appro priately addressed to the inhabitants of some of the cities and populous towns in this com try: “Anarchy, and disorder are tiie paths which lead to Despotism—they are arms more pow erful and destructive than any in the hands of our euemies. They have been tried in other times, and have proved successful—and they are again resorted toby the foes of our gov vernmeut, to advance their sinister designs.

Raritan Canal.—We learn that a line of pack ets i> to be established to run regularly between New York and Philadelphia through tiie Rari tan Cana', starling every day. R is supposed that tl e dips can be made in four or five days. Balloon Failure.—We learn from the Fre derick (Mil.) Examiner, that Mr. oodall was unsuccessful in his attempt to ascend in a balloon from Frederick city, on Saturday last. 1 he weather was favorable, and every tiling promised well—the balloon being in due time fully inflated—but when the cords were loosen ed, and the aeronaut was about to take Ids de parture, it was found iliat the asccnsive power of the buiioon did not amount to more than 50 or 60 pounds. The Examiner says—“ The failure is ascribed to some defect in the gas, owing to a want of scientific information as to the manner i of preparing it. It isprobablethatinevolvingit. j a very considerable portion of vapor or steam was suffered to pass into the balloon, which w ill j satisfactorily account for Us want of ascensive power, inasmuch as it was apparently well in-' flated.” In consequence of the public disappointment on this occasion, we observe, that Doctor Sam-: uel Johnson proposed to make a balloon ascen- sion from theenclosnre of the Frederick College, j

The Pougkkkepsie Burglary.—The large a-J mount of watches, jewelry, &c. lately stolen from Mr. Hayes, of Poughkeepsie, has been dis covered in New York, w ithin a few’ days past,1 by Mr. Sparks, and Messrs. Jacob and Benja min Hays. That part of it which consisted of, silver had been melted down by the burglars, and sold for about one-half its value. The resi due, consisting of jewelry, plated ware, &c. re. j mained uninjured. The Postmaster of the city of Philadelphia has published an Address to the Public, of some length, admitting the fact of the sale of pack ages sent to'his office from Washington, during the last session of Congress, under the frank of Col. Watmough, but denying any criminal in tention,or party purpose,on the part of himselfor his Clerks, in thus disposing of packages which it appears, the Post Office does not consider at let ta t! Gov. Duncan, the Governor elect of tire State of Illinois, being at Paterson, (N. J.) a few days ago, was waited upon by a number of gentle men, who gave him a hasty collation. After a toast complimentary to him, he gave the follow ing sentiment: “The Freedom of Election—When the poo pie of the United State shall look to the White House for the nomination of a successor to the Presidency, there will be an end to their liber ties.” What will the Van Buren press say nox about the election in Illinois? The copy right lias been secured in this Dis trict for a lithographic portrait of Amos Ken dall. We' expect, from the appearance of the picture, that it must be a good likeness of die original._ A writer in the New York Farmer estimates the numbm-of dogs in the United .States to be 1,300,000, and the expense of keeping them up wards of ten millions of dollars annually. A gang of counterfeiters have been arreted in Rahway, (N. J.) They are A suite! Baldwin and wife, Mark Baldwin, and Alonzo O. Green. Baldwin kept a store, and carried on the circu lation of counterfeits on a regular but moderate scale. His detection was brought about by an assistant in his store. The Mew York Journal of Commerce, in a very clever article on the situation of parties, and the contradictory statements which have been made by the Whig and Jackson presses, as to the result of the late elections in the West and South, holds the following language: There is one remark, in conclusio which we deem it important to make, and which fur nishes a key to at least a part of the discrepan cies above alluded to. It is this: that Jucknou iam mid lint liureniitni are not identical,—how ever much the adherents of the latter may endea vor to make them appear so. It is very possi ble that a majority of the Legislature of .North Carolina, Alabama, or Missouri, may be in fa vor of Jackson, but it by no means follows that they are in favor of Van Buren. The same re mark is applicable to some ol the new ly elected Congressmen. They may be very good Jack son men, hut very adverse to the pretensions of Van Bun'ti. The elements composing the old Jackson party are fast losing their cohesion, and will soon, by the necessity of the case, be re formed into other systems, according to the va rious attractions which may he presented to them. A part will rally round Van lluren, ami a part will go to make up the grand total of the Whigs.”_ It seems to us, front the complexion of a number of paragraphs in the principal Ilnti'h Whig journals, that the House of Lords isseri on-iy threatened. Sheridan liiwirle*.—The arrival of this gen th'inan is a matter of some interest to the litera ry and theatrical world. He is w ithout ques tion the first dramatist of his time, and his works will retain permanent possession of the stage. The many thousands who have sympa thized with the generous sentiments of his Tell”-mourned over the wrongs of the Ho man maiden, and shuddered at her melancholy fate—who have wept with Virginias” in that death-in-life, the miserable madness which fol lows the lo-s of his daughter—who have follow ed “Julia” from her first artless simplicity through her capricious and changing fortune*/ her moods and phantasies—her sti uggles »ith love and pride, and ambition—and the final consummation of her hopes—the many "h° owe hint so large a debt for the intellectual ex citement they have derived from all these scenes, will receive Mr. Knowles not as a stran ger—but as n long-know n friend. Mr. Knowles is now about fifty years of ;»gp He is a native of Cork, and his fatlo-r was a cousin of SheridanY. F.duealed in Kngland. young Knowles imbibed an early fondness for ilie stage, and at sixteen wrote a tragedy in five acts under the title of the Siwtiixh Story.

Smith, a professor of the sable science ol chimney sweeping, for having neglected to pay tbe sum of 1 is. 3d being the amount claimed for five week’s rent of certain premises let to the said Dennis O Sullivan by the uforesaid Robert Smith. Air. Smith, in support of his demand, averred that he let a large shed abutting on his soot ware house to the defendant at the moderate rent of 2s. 3d. weekly; and that this shed, by the aid of a little paint and a few deal boards,was metamor phosed into a very respectable looking “Clas sical Academy,” as a large board over the en trance, with the description painted in legible characters, duly apprized the public. The de fendant began business with u couple of scho lars, one of whom was plaintiffs eldest son; but the very first week when the rent was demand ed, the defendant having proved “bashful,” the plaintiff took away his son, and made daily call at the “Classical Academy,” but invariably found the “schoolmaster was abroad.” The defendant having refused to resign the key or to pay tin* rent, proceedings in the “Cobler’s Chancery” were immediately taken against him. Mr. O’Sullivan pleaded a set off of 9s. 9J. for one quarter’s schooling of .Master Bobby Smith, and adtied that, if Mr. Smith was willing to de duct this amount, he was ready to pay the dif ference into Court. Vont consent, not by no means, to no sitch caper,” said Mr. Smith: I’ll have the whole of that ’ere blunt, or 1 vont have nuffin. He never larnt my Bob any but votheknow’d afore; and more nor ’.it ’ere my Bob warn’t at his Classi cal ’Cadanty niore’n half a veek, anil he hadn’t no I o nin votsomdever.” “Spake the blessed trute, Mishtcr Smith,” said the defendant: “may be now 1 would have made an litigant schollaul of the young spalpeen, if you hadn’t a tuk him away, bad luck to ye, before the quarter was up?” Ax the boy vot he larnt, your honorable Majesty,” said Mr. Smith. “Here, Boh, vipe your nose, you nasty warmint, and tell them Vn* good gemmen as sits on that ’ere bench wit it you did f a morning.” B >b. thus ad monished, came forward and re plied, Vy, 1 cleaned my master and missus’s shoes.” And vnt did you do in tlie afternoon? in terrogated the father.

I dont think that ’ere cliap vos nb!e to lam him nothing.” By the holy powers!” said Mr. O’Sullivan, I'll make you prove your words. Here’s one of my circulars, plaze yer VVertships to rade it.” Mister O’Sullivan handed in a lithographed prospectus of w! ich the following is a copy: Mr. Dennis O’Sullivan from Trin. Col.

Hives, formerly of Mount Holly, New Jersev, in the thirty-fourth year of his age.— Mr. Hives was an amiable, correct young man, much esteemed and beloved by ail bis friends and acquaintances, and since his residence in this place had obtained the respect and confi dence of ad who knew him. His death will be long regretted. At Dublin, Laurens co., (Georgia,) on the 20‘h lilt., Dr. Thomas Moore, in the 59th year of his age, after a protracted illness, regretted by nunmroiis friends both in the county and State. I)r. Moore was a native of Prince George's countv. Maryland, but came to Georgia in ear ly life, where be practiced Medicine usefully and successfully. His pro essiun made him ex tensively known and his benevolent and phi lanthropic feelings endeared him to those who had hearts to appreciate his worth. As he mixed much with the world, his social qualities and charit hie disposition were constantly dis played in acts of enerosity and kindness, so that it may truly be said of him. he. had a heart open as day, to melting charity. A warm friend and good neighbor, his county men who knew him best gave him their confi dence freely; and from one or more of the coun ties in which he resided, he had been returned to the Legislature of the State. They "’ill not soon forget him. and their sympathies and sor rows will soften the afflictions of an interesting and numerous family, of which he was the prin cipal stay, and who have lost in him the tendei husband and affectionate father.

Thy vapory curls, now sailing high, Are evanescent as the sigh That trembles at its very dawn And perishes as soon as born. Thy changing ringlets in the dew, Soon float away, like friendship too— In gentle varied shapes above They haste away like woman’s love. Ephemeral as beauty’s smile, Cheating the features for a while, Alternate changing, insincere, Wav’ring between a smile and tear, Delusive as the darting star, Emblem of man—my sweet Segar. Long, long, thy light hath solaced me And perish’d in its constancy, And as thy balmy breath escapes In its flowing, graceful shapes; When oft in melancholy mood I wander in my solitude, To where with thee at night I’ve heard The echo of the warbling bird, And the gentle rippling rill, Gingling from the grassy hill; There beneath the moonlit skies I’ve turn’d to thee my weary eyes, Believing thou wert better far Than love or hope—my sweet Segar. I see thy little folds ignite, 1 watch their last expiring light Holding commune sweet with thee, Reading the world’s philosophy; And when thy breath is flowing there, Lingering and playing on the air, I think of promises now broken, 1 gaze on many a faithless token, Whose donors fled when sorrows woke Like the light ringlets of thy smoke. And now pale emblem of our ties, The one we love and sacrifice, Thou art indeed our truest friend, Constant and faithful to the end;. Yet when thy charms have all expired, We turn from then we once admired. We turn from thee we’ve long enjoy’d, The loathsome object we’ve destroyed; And seek to find another star, As thine growsdiin—my sweet Segar.

BROOK VILLE ACADEMY. rjlIIE Trustees of this Institution, situated in .1. Brook ville, Montgomery County, Mary-; land, about 20 miles from Washington, and 28 from Baltimore and Frederick Cities, deem it1 proper to inform the public that they have en gaged Nathan C. Brooks, A M. as Principal ol this Academy. Mr. Brooks is a gentleman o mnst unexceptionable character, of high standf irig as a scientific and classical scholar, and of very considerable experience in the education of youth, having been very advantageously known Ibr some years past as the Principal of Franklin Academy at Reisterstown; and the high reputation which that school attained un der him, is strong evidence of his qualifications for such a station. The central position and convenient distance of Brook ville Academy from the cities of Wash ington, Baltimore, and Frederick; its retired si tuation and location in a healthy, moral, and intelligent neighborhood, in which the retail of spiritous liquors is prohibited by an express act of the Legislature, and where there is, conse quently, less danger of the youthful mind beco ming contaminated by the frequent observa tion of vice and immorality; together with the high moral and scientific qualifications of Mr. Brooks, the Board of Trustees Hatter themselves will give their Academy claims upon public pa tronage which are surpassed by none, and per haps equalled by very few, similar institutions in the State. Mr. Brooks will enter upon bis duties in the Academy on the 8th September next, and will be assisted by three gentlemen well qualified to instruct the pupils in their respective depart ments. The terras for tuition in English, Mathema tics, and Ancient Languages, Board, Washing, Rent, and Fuel, $30 37$ cents per quarter. The modern languages are $G per quarter each.

37* Public •Mention! IS respectfully solicited by the subscriber, to an in valuable preparation, the merits of which have been tested by time, and are sustained by undouuted testimony DR. RELFF/S o? 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 istered for manv years, as a thorough remedy for that well known and prevalent class of inveterate diseases which originate from a vitiated habit of body, or an he reditary predisposition in the patient, and general y appear under the vanous and distressing shapes of Scrofula, Salt Rheum, t.eprosv, St Anthony’s Fire, Pever Sores. White Swellings. Scurvy, Foul and Ob stinate Ulcers. Sore Legs and Eyts, Scald Head, and Venereal Taint. In the last mentioned condition of the system, the Botanical Drops will be found to eradicate the lurk ing poison, where mercury has totally failed, and thus prevent the patient from entailing the seeds of an he reditary disease on his offspring. Dr. Relfe’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 humors A physician of eminence, who had witness'd the ef ficacy of this article, had the candor recently to ark nowledge to the proprietor, that he considered it the best medicine known, for the complaints f»r which it is intended, and that it ough* deservedly to stan I at the head of the whole c’a-a of such remedies Price a»n Consumption! Asthma! fir Catarrh! IN that Ion* train of diseases which stein to grow with the growth of civilised society, Consumption takes the lead in its relentless inroads upon human life, yet ibis dreadful disorder is easily overcome in its earlier stages. It is only w lien neglected that it ar rives at the terrific maturity whl .h «>o often baffles the sagacity of professional science. An obstinate cough ia the customary 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 symptoms —oppression of the breast; greenish and bloody spittle; ulcerated lung* and hectic fever; shri veiled extremetics, ami geneial emaciation of the whole body; prostration of strength; flushed cheeks; swollen feet and legs; a»ul at last, in die full possrs aionof the mental faculties, and while hope still wins per* her flattering talc—cold extremities, and a pre mature death. For the various stsges of this complaint, one of the moat approved remedies ever vet discovered is DR. RELFE’S ASTHMATIC PILLS. Thia exceedingly powerful, and yet equally safe and innocent preparation, has effected thorough and rapid cure* upon patients supposed to have been far advanc •din a confirmed Consumption, and wltohave exhibit ed the appearances which usually indicate a fatal ter mi nation of the disorder. Aa the Fills require in ordinary exses no confine ment, they mxy be administered with confidence and safety to all ages and classes of people. Unexampled success ha# hitherto attended their administration in a great variety of cases; and the proprietor can refer to a multitude, which testify to their efficacy in reviving the emaciated victim from the bed of disease, and re storing him to the blessings of accustomed health and activity. Price $1 for who/e boxes of 30 puls, and 50 cents for half do. of 12 pills, with directions. Debilitated Pemalesi THB complaints peculiar to the female p in of the community, have been long successfully treated by the administration of the Aromatic Fills, originally prescribed snd compounded by Ur. llelfe. They cleanse the blood from those disorders of the female constitution, for which the pills are an eU'eclual speci fic; they restores free circula ion, reform the irregular operations of the sanguiferous system, and rectify the dmuJc-~o4H>fri,a The proprietor’s confidence in the superior excellence of this equally inuocent and pow ertbl preparation, is founded on the most decisive tes timony from many restored patients. He can assure Oiji nortion of the public, that when DR RKLFE’S AROMATIC PILLS FOR FEMALES are regularly taken, according to the directions, ac companying them, they revive and establish the desir ed healthy habits, and restore to the pallid counte nance the natural glow of health and good spirits. Married ladies will find the pilla equally useful, ex eept in r«— of paegnaucy, when they must not be taken; neither must they be taken by persons of hec tic or consumptive habit*. They may be used success Killy by either men or women in all Hypochondriac, Hysteric or Vapourish disorders. In all cases of this description, the pills purify, invigorate, and revive the disordered system. Price 91 50 a box.

In this complaint the pa tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part out of water; p 8th Chilblains or partsaffecled by I rost. It is also one of the best remedies fur burns and scalds. It eases the pain and draws the lire out in a short time. For inflamed women’s breast* and glandular swel lings, it is superior to any medicine jet known to the m dical facility.
