The ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE for the coun try is printed on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. _ All advertisements appear in both papers, ana are inserted at the usual rates. BECKFORD’S WORK. Italy: with Sketches of Spain and Portugal, by the author of Vathek. In two volumes. Phil adelphia: Key and Biddle. The extracts we have already given from this delightful work, anti which we were enabled to give through Waldie’s Circulating Library, re lated to Portugal. We have it now before us in two neatly printed volumes. One fourth of the first volume is taken up with an account of Mr. Becklord’s journey through the Netherlands and Germany; but he seems to have regarded them as impediments to his early arrival in clas sical Italy, and gives them no place in his title. When his themes are nobler, liis letters are pro portionably more interesting, but he has written nothing more graphic than the following pas sage. The Dutch and Flemish painters of still life never in their happiest efforts produced pic tures surpassing in fidelity and execution those of Ghent and Antwerp:—##//. Amer. _ To one so far gone in the poetic lore of an cient days, Ghent is not the most likely place to recall his attention; and 1 know nothing more about it, than it is a large, ill-paved, plethoric, pompous-looking city, with a decent proportion of convents and chapels, monuments, brazen gates, and gilded marbles. In the great church were’ several pictures by Rubens, so strik ing, so masterly, os to hold me broad awake; though, I must own, mere are moments when 1 could contentedly fall asleep in a Flemish cath edral, for the mere chance of beholding in vis ion the temple of Olympian Jupiter. But I think I hear, at this moment, some grave and respectable personage chiding my enthusiasm—“ Really, sir, you had better stay at home, and dream in your great chair, than £ve yourself the trouble of going post through urope, in search of places where to fall asleep. It Flanders and Holland are to be dreamed over at this rate you had better take sh;p at once, and doze all the way to Italy.” Upon my word, I should not hare much objection to that scheme, and, if some enchantment would but transport ine in an instant to the summit of ^Et na, any body might slop through the Low’ Coun tries that pleased. Being, however, so far advanced, there is no retracting; and I am resolved to journey along with quiet and content for my companions. These two comfortable deities have, I believe, taken Flanders under their especial protection; every step one advances discovering some new proof of their influence. The neatness of the houses, and the universal cleanliness of the vil lages, show plainly that their inhabitants live in ease and good humor. All is still and peaceful in these fertile lowlands: the eye meets nothing but round unmeaning faces at every door, and harmless stupidity smiling at every window. The beasts, as placid as their masters, graze on without any disturbance; and I scarcely recol lect to have heard one grunting swine or snar ling mastiff during my whole progress. Before every village is a wealthy dunghill, not at all of fensive, because but seldom disturbed; and there bows and porkers bask in the sun, and wallow at their ease, till the hour of death and bacon arrives. But it is high time to lead you towards Ant werp. More rich pastures, more ample fields of grain, more flourishing willows! A bound less plain before this city, dotted with cows, and speckled w-ith flowers; a level whence its spirc3 and quaint roofs are seen to advantage! The pale colors of the sky, and a few gleams of wa- terv shunshine, gave a true Flemish cast to the scenery, and every thing appeared so consist- ent, that 1 had not a shadow of pretence to think mvself asleep. “After crossing a broad expanse of river, edged on one 9ide by beds of osiers beautifully green, on the other by gates and turrets prepos- j terousiy ugly, we came through several streets of lofty houses to our inn. Its situation in the Place de Meir,” a vast open space, surround ed by buildings above buildings, and roof above roof, has something striking and singular. A tall gilt crucifix of bronze, sculptured by Cortels of Malines,* adds to its splendour; and the tops of tufted trees, seen above a line of magnificent hotels, add greatly to the effect of the perspec-, tlVujtwas almost dusk when we arrived; and as I am very partial to new objects discovered by this dubious visionary light. 1 went immedi ately a rambling. Not a sound disturbed my meditations: there were no groups of squabbling children or talkative old women. The whole town seemed retired into their inmost chambers; and I kept winding and turning about, from street to street, and from alley to alley, without meeting a single inhabitant. Now and then, in deed, one or two women in long cloaks and mantles glided by at a distance but their dress j was so shroud-like, and their whole appearance so ghostly, that t should have been afraid to ac cost them. As night approached, the ranges ofj buildings grew more and more dim, and the si lence which reigned amongst them more awful. The canals, tfhich in some places intersect the streets, were likewise in perfect solitude, and there was just light sufficient for me to observe on the still waters the reflection of the structures above them. Except two or three tapers glim mering through the casements, no one circum stance indicated human existence. 1 might, without being thought very romantic, have im agined myselfin the city of petrified people which Arabiaa fabulists are so fond of describing.— Were anv one to ask my advice upon the sub ject of retirement, I should tell him—by all means repair to Antwerp.” Soon after this we find him approaching Ley den, and are pleased to think that to the scholar this ancient seat of learning will be a green spot in the unclassical flats of the Netherlands. Hear what he says of it Haerlem, July 1st, 1780. «The sky was clear and blue when we left the Hague, and we travelled along a shady •This crucifix was made of the bronze which bad formed the statue of the terrible Duke of Al va, swept in its first form from the citadel where it was proudly stationed, in a moment of popular fury. road for about an hour, when down sunk the' carriage into a sand-bed, and we were dragged along so slowly that I fell into a profound repose. How long it lasted is not material; but when l awoke, we were rumbling though Leyden.— There is no need to write a syllable in honor of this illustrious city: its praises have already been sung and said by fifty professors who have declaimed in its university and smoked in its gardens. Let us get out of it as fast as we can, and breathe the cool air of the wood near Haer lem.” Amsterdam is thus despatched: Utrecht, 2d July, 1780. “Well, thank Heaven! Amsterdam is behind us; how I got thither signifies not one farthing; it was all along a canal, as usual. The weath er was hot enough to broil an inhabitant of Ben gal; and the odours, exhaling from every quar ter, sufficiently powerful to regale the nose of a Hottentot. “Under these pungent circumstances we enter ed the city. The Stndt-huys being the only cool place it contained, J repaired thither as fast as the heat permitted, and walked in a lofty mar ble hall,magnificently covered,till the dinner was ready at the inn.” The Balloon.—Mr. Mills made his promised ascension yesterday afternoon, from Camden, and in a manner, quite equal to either of those which had. previously given so much satisfac tion in this city. Several small balloons were let off, during the early part of the afternoon, to indicate the course ol the wind, and at the ap pointed hour, the process of inflation having been accomplished, and the arrangements com pleted for the purpose, the fearless leronaut cut the cord with the most perfect self-possession, and the balloon arose majestically from the gar den; at first, very gradually, until an accellera ted impulse was given it, by the discharge of a portion of the ballast. The wind, which in the early part of the day had been strong, had mo derated, so that, at the moment of the ascension, there was but a slight breeze, which wafted the balloon in a north easterly direction. Immedi ately on passing beyond Qamden, and at an elevation of a mile, or more, the parachute, made of white muslin and sustaining a live rab bit, which was suspended beneath in a basket, was cut loose, and dropped from the balloon.— Its descent, at first, was rapid, until the para chute became perfectly expanded, when it float ed about in the air like a feather, gradually and gently approaching the earth, upon which, in the course of fifteen or twenty minutes, it land ed its little charge in safety. The day was clear and pleasant, not a cloud being visible in any direction, and when last we saw tiie balloon, which was about half past five j it was still distinctly visible, holding its north east course, which had there been wind suffi j cient,might have enabled Mr. Mills to have taken a late supper in New York. The number within the enclosure was not large.— U. S. (Jaz. A Lesson for Boys.—A lad from Bucks coun ty was placed as an apprentice in one of the newspaper offices in this city a few years since, whose short career furnishes a striking evidence of the miserable consequence of boys indulging in irregular practices. His evil habits had their origin ill an inveterate fondness for rnnning out at nights, which, as a matter of course, made him acquainted with vicious boys of his age, such as are witnessed every night, lounging about the corners of our streets, often swearing and drinking. He fell gradually but irreclaima bly into their habits, and soon became a worth less boy; and not long since made his escape, went off to sea, and in one of the West India Islands fell a victim to his own intemperate in dulgences. So far his case may be only that of many others who have been equally imprudent, and paid as severe a penalty for their lollies; but it is rendered more striking from the circum stance of his having been sought for, within a few weeks by one who communicated the intel ligence to his friends here, of his having been bequeathed property to the amount of forty thousand dollars.— If. S. Gaz. Health of the City.—Annexed is an abstract of the City Inspector’s report for the week end ing Saturday morning last, from which it will be seen that the health of the city continues to improve. Whole number of deaths 202; of which by Cholera, 48; being a decrease of 13 in the whole number of deaths as compared with the previous week, and 20 in the number of deaths by Cholera. So small a number of deaths as 202 has not before occurred in any one week since the month of July.—X. Y. Jour. Daring Robbery'.—Mr. Lay of Batavia, Gene see County, arrived in town on Saturday even ing last, deposited his valice in the bar of the Western Hotel, and while taking his tea the val ice was stolen, containing between seven and eight thousand dollars in gold, mostly in sove reigns. A reward of 500 dollars is offered. N. Y. Dai. Adc. Early Snov.—We have a letter from a friend, written on Tuesday evening at Canan daigua, in which he says, on Saturday morning last, the weather was oppressively warm, but to wards evening we had a cold storm, since which the w eather has been unusually cold for the sea son, and fire is as necessary as in the depth of winter. Yesterday, in Tioga county, snow fell for two hours, and last night the frost was severe; this morning, some thirty miles east of this, ice formed a considerable thickness.—N. Com. Bank Robber taken.—Our readers may re collect that we published about a month ago an account, of a robbery exceeding sixty thousand dollars in amount, which was committed on the Norfolk Bank, in Roxbury, Mass. Subsequent ly one of the thieves was taken in Boston and committed to prison, where he made restitution of six thousand dollars, (his portion of the plun der.) On Thursday last the principal robber of the gang was fortunately apprehended at Bal timore and lodged in jail.—Hisname is William Devoe, an old offender, well known to our po lice, and has already been an inmate of our state prison, and is the same person who rob bed the Wheeling Bank, but having restored the property when apprehended, was at the time suffered to escape punishment. We understand that hopes are entertained that the money sto len from the Norfolk Bank will be recovered. N. Y. Cour. Court Martial.—We learn that a Court Mar tial will be held on Lieut. Babbitt, at the Navy Yard in Charlestown, on the 13th instant, on charges preferred by Com. Elliot, of insubordi nation and disobedience of orders. The Court Martial will be composed of Captains Crane, Downes, Creighton and Kerney; Master Com mandants Sloat and Stevens.—Boston Mer. Jou. Fort Adams.—More than five hundred mkn are employed on the great Fori, at the entrance of New Port Harbor. The weekly disburse ments arc about twelve thousand dollars CAPITAL TRIAL. A Father Tried ftrr the Murder of his Son.— On Tuesday last, the trial of John Winchell, of Suffield, Connecticut, was held before the Su perior Court, in session at Hartford, for the murder of his son Uriah Winchell. It appeare in evidence that a bitter controversy had long existed between the father and son that the son had repeatedly made attacks upon his per son, and occasional depredations upon his pro perty—that, for several years past, in conse quence of fear of bodily harm from the son, or some other cause unknown, Winchell had been in the uniform habit of arming himself with deadly weapons, sometimes with a musket, and at others with a pistol' and dirk that on the 24th of March last, the son was engaged in set ting up and covering a coal pit of wood taken from the land claimed by both father and son, and about the possession of which, the conti o versy between them originated—that in the af ternoon of that day, Winchell was seen wan dering about the region of the coal pit, appa rently carrying a pistol in his bosom—that about sunset the report of fire-arms, and the cry of murder, was heard in the direction of the coal pit, and the son found wounded by a pistol shot in the left side below the lower rib—that imme diately after the report of the pistol and the cry ot murder was heard, Winchell was seen emer ging from a ravine, near the pit, with a pistol in his hand, apparently exhausted in body and agitated in mind, and to the inquiry, whether he had shot his son, replied hesitatingly not until he hit, or hurt, me first’—that the son languish ed about thirty hours, in the most excruciating agony and died. On the part of the prisoner it was contended that there was no evidence of premeditation or malice; that in the absence of this evidence, it was to be presumed that he armed himself for the purpose of defending himself against the anticipated attacks of his son; that he acciden tally came in contact with him at the coal pit, and shot him. not, however, in pursuance of a previous purpose and design, but in self-de fence, or in consequence of the excited and perverted state of his mind, occasioned by the repeated threats and attacks of his son. It was further claimed, that, at the time of committing the homicide, he was not in possession of that degree of sanity of mind necessary to consti tute him a moral agent, and render him ac countable for his acts—that though on most sub jects he was rational, yet on the subject of his family controversy he was totally insane. A large number of witnesses were examined on this point, and a mass of testimony adduced, but tending more to establish oddity and ec centricity than aberration or alienation of mind. The case was ably argued by the Attorney for the State and J. Parsons, Esq. for the proseeu tion, and by W. W. Ellsworth and W. Hunger ford, Esqs., for the prisoner. Un Thursday morning the case was committed to the jury, who, after an absence of a short time, return ed with a verdict of Manslaughter. The pri soner is represented as an old grey-headed man, seventy two years of age. He appeared per fectly unmoved throughout the trial, and when the verdict was rendered did not shed a tear or heave a sigh. It is stated that he is dissatisfied with the verdict, and has requested the Sheriff to intercede with the Court to pronounce sen tence of death upon him. WOLFE AND MONTCALM. It will be remembered that Wolfe and Mont calm fell on the heights of Abraham. By this victory, the Canadas passed into the possession of the English, to whom they were afterwards duly ceded by treaty. Still the French predo minate in Lower Canada, and will continue for many years to come, to outnumber the English' population. The erection of a National Monu ment became, therefore, a delicate matter.— Wolfe was the pride of England, but Montcalm was the glory of France. The happy thought then occurred to Lord Dulhousie, we believe, of erecting a single monument to both. But then came the difficulty of writing the inscriptions. Both nations must be pleased; at least neither must be offended. The result was that they re mained unwritten for a long time. The Inscriptions, however, to the memory of these brave men, have recently been written, and will shortly be engraved in their proper place. It was supposed by travellers that the great difficulty of composing an inscription which would record to the satisfaction of the mixed population of Canada, the virtues of the victor and the vanquished, prevented, the at tempt; but it appears that other considerations had their influence. It was supposed by some that the mere absence of the inscriptions con stituted a beauty. There was something of this feeling excited in a refined imagination; but we are disposed to believe that the inscriptions will enhance the influence of this fine monu ment on the general mind. It was on a beautiful morning in August, 1830, that we first beheld the Monument of Wolfe and Montcalm. A stately British Grenadier, clothed in the imposing dress of his regiment, paced quite solemnly to and fro. When we had examined the monument, and were about to retire, we felt some disposition to ascertain what eflect it produced on the British army—a result which we proposed to reach by testing its influence on the mind of the fine looking grena dier before us. We accordingly hailed him with the inquiry to whom the monument was erected? Touch ing his cap very politely, he hastened to the obelisk to read its inscription and of course, not finding what was not to be found, he stated that it must be unfinished, and declared his ig norance of its object. This incident strongly illustrates the necessity of an inscription on monuments designed to affect the mind ar^d in spire the feelings of all. This monument, if it does not attest the ar chitectural excellence of Quebec, renders more vivid those historical associations which are so intimately connected with this ancient city.— The inscriptions are in good taste; written, how ever, in Latin, the universal language of the learned; but not intelligible to the great major ity of those who may be disposed to read an in scription. In this respect it is reprehensible; but from the two languages prevalent in Cana da, wre do not well see how it could have other wise been written.—Xorfolk Bearon. Id* Charles James Faulkner, of Berkeley* will be supported as a Representative for the Congressional District composed of Hampshire, Frederick, Berkeley, Jefferson, and Morgan. id* We are authorised to announce to the. voters of the Congressional District composed of the counties of Westmoreland, Richmond, Northumberland. Lancaster, King George Staf- i ford and Prince William, that John Taliaferro. I Esq., has, in compliance with the wish of many voters, consented to become a candidate at the next election of a Representative for that Dis trict in the Congress of the United States. We take the following anecdotes from the last number of the London Quarterly Review: Lieut. Connelly, in his overland journey to India, having failed in his endeavor to reach Khiva, determined to take the road to Meshed, and joined a company of pilgrims bound on a pilgrimage to the tomb of Imaum Rita. For eight months in every year, dating from the vernal equinox, this road to and from Meshed is travelled by sixty thousand persons, chiefly pilgrims: and it is to be remarked, that, though much of the country is desert, every little sta tion on the road furnishes supplies for this num ber of persons and their cattle. Stopping at Bostam. they find one of the Shah’s sons there, as governor. They are introduced to him, and he asks many questions nmong others concern ing Yankeedoonia,’ (America) or as it may be rendered, (so says our author) the world of the Yankees.’ This is an amusing mistake into which Lieut. Collony has fallen and natu ral enough to those who like him, seem to have acquired the language by the road side. Yengi dunnia, in truth, means the New World. engi in Tartar language is New. Yankee is, accord ing to Dr. Webster’s Dictionary, a corrupt pro nunciation of the word English by the Indians i of North America.’ “Mr. Dunlop, in his History of Roman Litera ture mentions as most inexplicable, that a sow in Arcadia was so fat that a field mouse had made a comfortable nest in her flesh, and brought forth its young.’ Now’, as eve ry fact in natural history is valuable, we will state, that we have witnessed the circum- j stance of a mouse having made its nest (com fortable or not we cannot say, nor do we know’; that it was parturient) in the upper part of the neck of a fattening boar. The animal was excessively’ indolent, and was probably gratifi ed by the very gradual irritation in its prurient hide, and that pruriency, too, increased by the process of healing in one part while the little creature was making its way in another, to im bed itself in the well stored cells of the adipose membrane.” Mails in Ohin.—Wc are informed that various changes will take place in thi3 State, in the t course of a very short time,in the mode of trans porting the mail.

Trxx'Et c.nder the Ohio.—The Cincinnati Journal recommends the construction of a tun-, net under the Ohio river, opposite that city. Its length would be a little more than half a mile; to j be twenty-four feet wide, with loo carriage i wavs bnd two side walks. The whole cost is estimated at two hundred and thirty thousand j dollars. Owing to the great height to which the water of the Ohio rises, being sixty-three feet, the difficulty of building a bridge is very great, and the cost would be proportionate.— Thick piers a hundred feet high, and a Inin, dred fret apart w ould be required, the expense of which, with that of the superstructure, would, it is calculated, exceed that of making a tunnel. The opinion of an experienced engineer is said to have been obtained, which is in favor of the tunnel. The Globe ascribes the Waterloo defeat of the Jackson party in the City of Baltimore to that horrid Monster, the Bank!—of course—and adijs, dolefully, We expected but little from Maiykad; from the Baltimore vote we hare every f&tspa to believe that our expecta tions will n?*?Wiv teali'/ed.” “Mr. Ainos Kendall has replied, tlirough the Globe, to Mr. Dutf'Green’s late charges against him—not by entering into proof, and an exami nation of testimony, to rebut the charges, but '•by arraying the Telegraph against itself,’ atid “showing, by the editor’s former language and conduct,” that he.did not once “believe one of those disparaging charges which he is now so ready to circulate.” This Mr. Kendall does very conclusively. Mr. Kendall, however, only shows that the Telegraph of 1828 and the Telegraph of 1831 do not tell the same tales— notthatihe Telegraph of 1834 does not tell the truth. _ _ _ _ The whole capital paid in ot the Boston Banks amounts to $18,150,000, of which two Banks, (the Atlas and the Winnisiminet,) with capitals amounting to $1,000,000, have just gone into operation—leaving a capital of S17,150,000, which has made a dividend ol $1SG,230. A recent paragraph, in which we stated that, 'asiar as we had heard, public opinion decided ly condeined Mr. Archer’s course towards Mr. Ritchie.” was only designed to convey onr im pression, from w hat we had heard, of the gene ral opinion relative to the impropriety of suffer ing political disputes to result in personal quar rels, and finally breaches of the peace, by street braw ls. By the mention of a particular case in point, it was intended to show, more distinctly’, the evils of such a course of things. i>ur own opinion—and it may be proper now to state it, since our paragraph has been misun- derstood, in some parts of Virginia—is, that Mr. Archer was most hardly and unjustly dealt with in the Richmond Enquirer, and must have been, >Mth leason. provoked at the unnecessary and continued assaults upon his character. R may, aiso, be proper now to state, that the combatants referred to in our paragraph are much nearer of an age than we had supposed; that no attempt was made to inflict injury—a act also ot which we were unaware; and that, ar a> health and strength were concerned, Mr. A had not the advantage, h i> w ith reluctance that we have again touch upon this matter, and have only done so in consequence of a desire to be correctly under stood. The parties themselves will, no doubt, undtu the circumstances, excuse us for touch upon that which does not properly belong to n^spaper discussion. R is stated that the destination of the frigate mac has been altered, and that, instead of p10*10 die Mediterranean, she will go to the ejee s*an to look after the pirates who have ere6-'r nSU'te been brought anew before the In-, unce Companies by E. C. DeInrun, Chair an of the Executive Committee of the New °r'’ 1 cmPmnce Society; and the facts col I lected and exhibited by him were so conclusive, as to lead to the unanimity with which the res olution above referred to has been adopted. British West Indies.—By the brig Bezia K. Reece, Capt. Tazo, from Bermuda, we have re ceived papers to the 27th ultimo,containing later dates from many of the English West India Isl ands than have been before received. At St. Christophers, tranquility had been re stored and martial law repealed. The officer commanding the British troops there, had re ceived the thanks of the Legislature of the Isl and for his exertions in restoring order. From Barbadoes, Trinidad, Berbice, Derna rara, Tobago, St Vincent, St. Lucca and Gre nada, the accounts were perfectly satisfactory. New York Courier. A Man who forgot his own Name.—It is a fact well known to many persons in this city, that, some years since, a highly respectable and well educated citizen of a Southern city called at our j post office and said, Have you got any letters j for me?” What is your name, sir?” said the l clerk. The gentleman raised his left finger to j j his nose, looked grave, and said, I will tell you directly,” and turned on his heel out of the office. A few yards from the post office he met I a friend, who said, How do you do, Mr.-?” i That’s it,” said the gentleman; and returned to the office, told his name, and obtained his j letters. [We were intimate with a retailer of dry goods in William street, in this city, who on j one occasion went into the street to look at his sign, to ascertain his name. This fact we had from the gentleman himself— but, he is no long er a tenant of this, but we trust of a better world.—Eds. N. Y. Gazette.] We are intimate with an estimable gentleman of this city, formerly a master of a vessel, who on speaking a ship at sea, absolutely forgot the name of the vessel he commanded, and when asked the question, was completely non-pluss ed,and stuttered and stammered away at a great rate. He finally overcame the difficulty by turning to his mate and inquiring the name of the ship he was in.—Een made in the es tablishment, it is expected that all orders can be supplied without delay.

AMONG the many articles offered to the pub lic for the growth and preservation of the hair, none seem to have given so much satisfac tion as the Purified Bear’s Oil, which has been known, in many instances, to restore the hair OH heads which have been bald for years; it also pre vents the hair from falling out, and quickly re stores it when lost from sickness, or any other cause. It gives to the most stubborn locks a strong, glossy and lasting curl, removes the dandriff, which often impedes the growth of the hair, causing head-ache, &c. The Bear’s Oil is far superior to Antique or Macassar Oils, which, being of vegetable origin, soon make the hair hard and crisp, while ani mal oils, on the contrary, make it soft and beau tiful. Of the latter class, the Bear’s Oil, being more penetrating, is, of course, preferred. Mo thers will find it excellent for the heads of their children, and to gentlemen of fashion it is re commended for the grow th of whiskers. When used, it should be well rubbed into the roots of the hair with a penetrating hair-brush, which excites also a healthy action in the skin; the hair should be well oiled every other day, be fore combing it. Being highly purified, and pleasantly perfumed, it will be found decidedly superior to any other article for constant use in dressing the hair. Price 25 cents per brittle.

THE following testiraoniak of the superior efficacy of the HYGEIAN MEDICINES in the care of ear diseases, apeak in a language which must carry conviction to the minds of the most skeptical:— Blows UvivaasiTT, Dec. 25, 1833» To Mr. Samuel Yaung, Agent for the Hygeian Vege table Universal Medicines, for the State of Rhode Island. Stn—Gratitude to the Great Preserver of Men com pete me, in oomplianee with your request, to give a brief statement of a cure, which, I think, I. received from the Hygeian Medicines. I give publicity to the same the more cheerfully,- because thereby, perhaps, I may be useful to some of my feHow-meo, who may oo afflicted with a similar disease. My complaint was called Pulmonary Consumption, and that my real condition may be explicitly under stood, I state, in connexion with the relation of the cure, tome of the symptoms of the disease. In Sep tember, 1832,1 caught a severe cold, which aettled on my lungs; I was confined to my room about one week, with a fever, attended with considerable cough; my cough soon abated, and apparently, I was regaining my health; when, after about three weeks, in the course of the night, having returned the evening be fore in usual health, I found myself bleeding at the lungs. I had not. to my knowledge, received any hurt i or strain, to which the cause of this might be attribut ed. I spat blood, occasionally, for four days; it left me with some fever, pain in the breast, very little ap I petite, and withal, very weak. A few weeks determined that I was in a decline. I received the attention of the most skilful Physicians, who often seemed to check jthe progress of the dis' j ease, and inspire the hope of a speedy recovery. Rut reltpse upon relapse, and each bringing me lower than the preceding, seemed to baffle all human skill, and warn me of an approachtig dissolution. Thus, months after the first attack, a tubercle” [small ul cer] broke in the lungs, after which I spat blood, one day. 1 continued to decline twomonths longer, when I obtained the Hygeian Medicine*. I had now been unable to sit up a whole d»y, for four months and a half. My feet were cold and lifeless, sleep unsound, cold night sweats constant, tongue furred, pulse in the afternoon from seventy-five to one hundred per mi nute, food produced great distress, appetite very poor, pain in the breast directly opposite the heart, attended with some cough, Ac. Ac. Such was my condition, when I first became acquainted with the Hygeiau Medicines- I commenced taking the medi cines, four pills at a dose, and increased the dose dai ly, one up to the number of twelve. In about ten days, my appetite became good, and food produced no distress, sleep soon became sound and refreshing, and in about forty days the symptoms of the disease had nearly all disappeared I took the medicine sixty days regularly every night, averaging about ten pills at a dose; the greatest num ber taken at any one time was fifteen. After this, I took about four doses a week, until I had taken about thirteen hundred pills when 1 found myself restored to health. After I commenced the Hygeian, 1 took no other medicine. One year from the first attack, I w*» able to resume my studies in college, where I have since remained without any recurrence of the disease. Hitherto I have been convalescent; and if my strength is not yet fully returned, I am certain I Invc less pains, and am more free from temporary sickness) than at any time since my earliest recollec tion. Yours, with respect, HORACE T. LOVE* Dr H. Shbi-hsard Moat. Dear 5ir—I wish to state that myVn»tcr, after severe suffering, and employing a medical man three years, was relieved by the use of the Universal Medicines. Her complaint was a violent pain and soreness in her side; indeed, to use her own expression, her js on one side had turned in, actually deformed. The pain was a violent burning pain, almost intolerable; so see vere, that she could not sit up for upwards of three years. It was occasioned by over-lacing hers e If, and perhaps, over exertion with it. After using a few, doses of No, 1 and 2, alternately, about eight pills for a dose, the pain decreased, and, by perseverance in their use, she is now restored to health; and I have no objection to this esse being made public for the benefit of others; and am, dear sir, yours truly, H. DYER. Lowell, Massachusetts, Feb. 8, 1834 In justice to Dr. M.. her mediesl adviser, when he heard her improvement in health, he recommended perseverence in the use of he medicines.

Lee’s au thority, viz:— Hai.timohe, August, 1828. Doctor S. H. P. Lei, New London, Uonn. Dear Sib—It is now upwards of twenty years that I have used your New London Bilious IMIs in my fami ly, and always found them an efficient purgative in al most every description of disease, and believe they sa« ved many long doctor’s bill by their early and timely use. I never found their accustomed certainty to vary in their operation and eflects until a few months past; and having, aince then, been sadly disappointed in eve ry instance of using them, I began to conclude that you had made your fortune, and abandoned their manufac ture to mercenary and unfaithful hands. Under this impression, I accidentally saw an advertisement of yours in a New York newspaper, designating spurious imitations from your own manufacture, by having your WHITTEN SIGN A TU HE to each bill of directions, and that in no instance were the imitations signed with pen and ink, although a perfect copy in every other respact. Finding those I had without this test, I be gan to suspect (hat all was not fair in medicine, as well as in politics, and called at several of our apothe caries for your pills, with your written signature- I found many without this test, but none witn it, until I came to the Messrs Kcei Is’, who assured me they had them direct from you. I procured a box, and on using them, found the same effects from them I lud always experienced, and am so much rejoiced on finding my se* fin ssposseion of a medicine I so Highly prize, tliat that I cannot, in justice, refrain from giving you this information. tlj* To avoid the imposition of counterfeits and spu rious imitations, as related above, the purchaser lias only to examine the bill of directions covering each box, and if signed at foot, in my own handwriting, im mediately unifier my printed name, they are genuine, and prepared by me; but if oslt the printed name is affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided.

SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,) Prepared by C. HERSTONS, near Frederick• towns Maryland. IticHMoirn. Va- July 15, 1810. THF. public will be pleased to understand that I the original discoverer of Judkins' Ointment, and sole proprietor of the patent from September, IS17, until the expiration of the same; out, having connect ed myself with l)r. Judkins in the commencement, permitted the Ointment to Hear his name. The term of the patent having expired on the 26tli June, I hare made an improvement in the same, and taken out ap*. tent thereon. If- SIIKPURRI). CT Imposition having been practised upon the miS. lie by a spurious article, bearing the name of Jud kins’ Ointment," the proprietor avails himself of the authority granted to him in lm letters paten;, nov to call the Ointment after his own name, Henceforth it will be known by the name of SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINT MENT, (formerly Judkint\) When I first made and prepared this Ointment, and had, in several instances, experienced its good effect*, I sent it to several physicians, with instructions in whit 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 of the process—ne vertheless, it might be pmgated in this sduherated si. tuation, as it might in some degree resemble the origi nal—tnd in this way its good effects would be obliten ted- Under these considerations, I secured the origi nal and certain remedy for those obstinate diseases, some of which have so long bafftcJ 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, particularlythoje hardened tumors in women's breasts, which oftentimes terminate in ulcetated cancersi 4th Felonsj or what some people know by thenime of catarrhs, ot every description. 5th Rheumatic psins of the joint** 6th Sprains aiul bruises of every description, or In whatever part situate* 7th Tetters of all kinds, fn thia'MaWttiitthe pi* tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the pirt outof water* 8th Chilblains or partsalTected by frost. It is also one of the best remedies for burns snJ scalds. It eases the pain and draws the fire out in i I short time. For inflamed women’s breasts and glandular swel lings, it is superior to any medicine yet known to the 1 medical faculty. It is much safer than mercuriilsp. plication', (as it does not contain the smallest atom of i any preparation of the mineral,) because it does not lay the patient liable to injury from exposure to cold. This Ointment has cured tores of many years stsnd ing. Where it is impossible or imprudent to lieal the I external sore, in consequence of the bones becoming carious oi rotten, it will stop the progress of the caries, increi.se the quantity of discharge, remove the offen sive smell, and ease the pains. It cures the worst Felods and Whitlows, on applica tion of forty*eight houra. CERTIFICATES. From the Hon. John Cocke, Member of the Howe of Re presentative* in Congress. WaaHiwoTow, Marrh 22,1826. Sir \ly son having been afflicted for five yesrs with white swelling, and having applied every reme dy recommended by the most eminent physicians within my reach without success, I at length procured one jug of Dr Judkins' Patent Specific Ointment, and made the application according to the directions ac companying the ointment, and state, for the benefit of the afflicted, that before one jug was used, a perfect cure was effected. My son has enjoyed good health cversince. I have no doubt that tothe Ointment alone he is indebtedi for nothing else was used for more than nine months before the application of the Oint ment. Respectfully, Johs Cocks Dr. Wm (iunton, Washington City. From L P. IV. Hatch, E*o Counsellor at !mw, F tie. rick, Md Fkkiikiuck, Md. May 6,18-51. Mr. C Hcrstons—I deem it proper to state, for the benefit of the public, that, several years since, two of my children were affected with scald head of «n inve terate character. My family physician, Dr John T. Wilson, of Leesburg, Vk who was very skilful snd ju dicious in his practice, in vain endeavored by every rne-ms to effect a cure. At length Judkins’ Ointment was applied, ami the affection was permanently reliev ed. Very respectfully, vi-ur obedient servant, L. P. W. Bate*. From the Honorable John Taliaferro, Member of t-m* great, dated WASMiifoToH, January 2?, 1829 Sir—It'us been my wish, fora considerable tim* Ointment during the last three yeara to every »pecie* of tumor and wound, without failure to produce s cut* in every instance. I consider it the most decided and efficient remedy in all cases of tumor, be the cause whatit may i and 1 have found nothing to good for wounds of any description It may be proper to add, that the cure of a tumor called white swelling! given over by the moat distinguished physician* as in curable, and which th :y decided would, without ampu tation, prove fatalto the patient, was, under my imme diate notice, effected by the use of Judkins’ Ointment, and the patient is in fine health. Hit limb affected br the tumor being restored to a perfect state of sound ness. Alto that the leg ofan aged man which had been wounded, and exhibited one dreadfully ulcerated auf face from the knee to the foot, and which, for more tlun two years, had been considered incurable, wasej factually cured by the application of Judkins’ Oin ment. I mention these two cases, whiclifellundermy immediate notice and management, as a decided ®tl* dence of the efficacy of this remedy in cases oftumw and ofulcers* I have expe.ienced, as deciJedly, ,D* good effect ofthi* remedy in the cure of Felons, a of every species of fresh wound. It seems to me to® any one wno wll observe on the operation of thu O'® ment, must be satisfied as to its beneficial effect. with the utmost confidence recommend the use oft valuable remedy, laiu, sir, very respectfully, Joms TaMaf«»®®*.
