THE GAZETTE. By EDGAR SNOWDEN. _ T L'UYf 4 Daily paper per Country paper per a The ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE for the coun try is printed on Tuesday, Thursday, and All advertisements appear in both papers, and are inserted at the usual rates._ LATEST FROM EUROPE. The packet ship Britannia, Capt. Marshall, has arrived from Liverpool, whence she sailed on the 1st September. By this conveyance Lon don advices are to the 31st of August, and Li verpool to the time of sailing. Copious extracts will be found below: GREAT BRITAIN. Of English news, there is next to none. It was stated in the London papers of August 26 from Liverpool, that letters from the United States had been received, countermanding all the unexecuted orders for the shipment of gold to this country. The previous large demands for eold, however, had caused the Bank to cui tail its issues, and money had in consequence become scarce, A dreadful catastrophe occurred off the Downs, on the morning of August 27th:—The Cumelion, a very large revenue cutter, was ly jnir to about half a mile from the shore, when the Castor frigate, coining from the Downs to Portsmouth, ran her down, with twenty-nine men below, every one of whom were drowned. Perhaps a more extraordinary accident never occurred. It was broad day-light. The frigate must have hud the cutter in full sight for seven miles, and she bore straight upon her, under her top gallant sails, going with a spanking northerly breeze, from twelve to fourteen knots an hour, took the cutter full midships, and drove her to the bottom in an instant, with scarcely a shock to herself. Three hands on the deck of the cutter leaped overboard and were saved. An express was sent off to the Admiral in the Downs, who came to Dover post, and took the commander of tlm frigate into custody, where he must remain till u court martial is held. Most of the men in the cutter were asleep in their berths, having just come off night duty. Three Folkestone men were drowned on the preced ing evening coming from the Downs Regatta, making a loss of thirty lives. The crops throughout Great Britain and Ire Jand, are represented to have come in well. An appendix has been added to the Quadru ple Treaty, in consequence of the return of Don Carlos to Spain. The precise stipulations of the new articles are not known. A serious riot occurred ut Chatham, Eng., Am' 21, among the privates of the 83th (Irish) re«riment. About thirty were wounded. On the following day, an affray occurred between a party of the same regiment and some sailors, in which several of the latter were severely wounded. ,.f Serious riots have lately taken place in dif ferent parts of Ireland. At Ballynanty a con stable was killed with a stone by one of the rioters and the windows of the Court House were broken in. At Callun the police weie obliged to fire upon the mob, killed one man, and°wounded two others dangerously. The cholera had been very bad at Dublin, but was on the decline. \la iPConneir* Letter to the People of Ire land—Mr. O’Connell has followed up his ad dresses to the people by a long letter dated from Derryname Abbey, Aug. 25. in which he brings forward a new project, and enters into a fuller explanation of his political views. After coun selling his countrymen to act with prudence, and deliberate with coolness, and not to imitate the knaves and fools” who figured at the Pro testant meeting, he says, that the fell spirit of Orangeism must be resisted by open and lawful combination. He at one time contemplated the establishment of Irish Lodges” to counteract the Orange Lodges,” but he gave up tins plan when he considered that such lodges were clear ly illegal bodies. The Irish Lodges,” he con tinuesT being thus impracticable, the next re source found w ill be in county clubs. I wish to see a Liberal Club” established in each coun ty upon the plan now existing in the counties of Monaghan and Meath, and about to be esta blished, l hope, immediately, in the Kings Before l proceed to detail the duties of the Liberal Club in each county, allow me to confess myself candidly and distinctly to be a ministe rialist/ 1 am at present a supporter of the ex isting ministry. I wish to act myself, and to procure the people of Ireland to act, in the man ner least calculated to embarrass, and most cal culated to give strength to the present adminis tration. subieet, however, to the paramount duty of attending, above all things, and before all things, to the interests of Ireland. For a long time l cherished a faint hope that the Orange faction might be conciliated to Ire land, and°I have, for some years-indeed since emancipation-acted on the plan of concilia tion—I have exerted all my energies and devo ted all the resources of my mind to the endea vor to reconcile the Orangemen with Irishmen l acted with as much zeal as if I believed suc cess attainable. 1 however, scarcely deceived myself by my hopes, and l am now-and forever —convinced that Orangeism must be put down, or that it will keep Ireland down, without re 1 therefore give the conciliation of Orange men to the winds; and whilst I am ready to strew flowers on the path of any man who lea^ es the Orange ranks and joins the people, to the faction itself l proclaim perpetual and unremit ting opposition. In that opposition the present ministry must join. 1 am, therefore, quite indis posed to conduct our new agitation so as to en cumber or embarrass the administration. My wish is to give them every support consistent with the liberty and legislative Independence of Ireland. The following definite objects should form the constitution of the Liberal Clubs:”—First, to prevent, if possible—and to punish where they exist—all agrarian crimes.” The second object of the Liberal Clubs will be to put the law rigidly and actively in force against the members of the Orange Lodges, and to Dunish by due course of law all the crimes and misdemeanors of the Orangemen. Every insulting proceedingon their part,or provocation to a breach of the peace, is m itself a misde meanor, and should be indicted and punished ns such Of course, every riotous assembly of the Orangemen should be equally proceeded against, and punished in a similar manner. So should their riots, and above all, their murdere. The third object of the Liberal Clubs will be one of vita! importance—to procure peacea bly, legally, and constitutionally, the total ex tinction of tithes. In seeking hitherto for the abolition of tithes, we have spared the existing interests of tne present race of incumbents. I doubt much the justice of making such concession, and am con vinced of its impolicy. We cannot conciliate these men, and yet we leave them at liberty to continue the contest, without any risk to their individual interests! 1 believe the time is come to insist upon the immediate cashiering of every sinecure ecclesiastical benefice, and at the ut most, to put upon a species of half pay every sinecure parson. Indeed I do believe that it is a bad reason to give any man money who has hitherto received a great deal without giving any kind of value for it. 'Hie greatest object of each Liberal Club should, however, be to procure the repeal of the Union.” This is an object which should never be lost sight of. It is not possible to do full and effectual justice to Ireland in any other than a domestic Legislature. None but an Irish Parliament will ever consent to extin guish that greatest of all existing cvils-absen teeism. He concludes in the following words:— I propose, that there shall be formed in each county, city, and large town in Ireland, a Libe ral Club,” principally for the following purpos lst. To suppress agrarian crimes and out rages. 2d. To suppress, by legal means, and to pun ish by due course of law, the members of Orange Lodges, and all other Orange criminals. 3d! To procure, by legal and constitutional means, the total extinction of tithes, in nature, as well as name. 4th. To attend to the elective franchise throughout Ireland, so as to secure the return to Parliament of friends of Ireland. 5th. To advance and secure the restoration of a domestic Legislature to Ireland. All of these are of great impartance—the last is the most important of all; but the most pres- J sing is the extinction of tithes, and also the most immediately practical. If the Irish people ex ert themselves as they ought to do, tithes will speedily be extinguished by law. This is the point on which we ought to combine—the con stitutional extinction of tithes. And, for my part, 1 will co-operate with every Liberal Club'’ which concurs in that alone. I feel strongly that we have this game completely in our hands, and that if the tithes were once extin guished, the moral effect of a victory over the Orange faction would be to destroy their power forever. PORTUGAL. The Portuguese Cortes was opened on the 14th, with a'speech from the throne, by Don Pe dro, congratulating the people on their success, and going over the whole ground, as usual in such cases, which led to the happy issue—calls attention to the consideration of these ques tions. 1st, Whether the Regency ought or ought not to be continued during the remainder of the Queen’s minority? 2d!y. To take the proper steps that her Majesty may marry some foreign Prince. It would be also necessary to fix the amount of the force by sea und land, conform ably to Art. 1?, Sec. 10, of the Constitutional Charter,having respect to the circumstances and internal state of the country., and not losing sight of the peculiar situation in which the neighbor ing ano allied nation be placed, where a prince pretending to the throne, is come again to re vive the almost extinguished flames of civil war.” FRANCE. From France, there is little news of any in terest. Prince Talleyrand had arrived in Pa ris, and it was reported that he would not re turn to London, but would be replaced by the Duke Decases. M. Carrel, the Editor of Le National, had again been sentenced to fine and imprisonment. A Paris Journal says, Admiral de Rigny, Mi nister, for Foreign Affairs, is on the poini of marriage with an American lady possessed of an income of 400,000f‘. a year, but who has two daughters by a former husband, each of whom, on attaining her majority, will take one-fourth of this fortune. SPAIN. No decisive blow had yet been struck in Spain. Two or three minor engagements had occurred, and it was reported that a terrible battle was fought on the 22d Aug., on the sea shore, near Liquietio, in which the Carlists lost 2000 men in killed and wounded. It would seem certain that the pretender’s troops had failed in the two fold purpose of their expedition into Biscay—. that of covering the landing of supplies by sea, and trying to raise the country in their favor. They had in consequence returned to their old lairs,in theinaccessiblepartsofthe Basque moun tains. At Madrid matters appear far from be ing in a settled state. Conspiracies are still talk ed of. It is rumored that a body of Portuguese troops had been ordered to co-operate with Ge neral Rodil. A new attempt was making to get up a Car list loan. The project is brought forward in the name of Baron Haber de Carlsruhe, of Amster dam. The Cholera had very much abated at Mad rid; the number of deaths being but about 20 per day. TURKEY AND EGYPT. The most important news is the re-commence ment of hostilities between Turkey and Egypt. The selection of this particular juncture by the Sultan to renew the war, was occasioned by the insurrection in Syria, and the reported death of Ibraham Pacha, which last, however, turns out to be untrue. When it is recollected that Russia is bound to the former, by an offensive as well as defensive treaty, this event may lead to important results. Constantinople, August 4.—The important facts I have had in my late communications oc casion to record, were of a nature to lead you to anticipate r fixed rupture between the Sultan and Mehemet Ali; to-day I have to inform you that this event ha» taken place. With one ac cord both parties have “cried havoc, and let slip the dogs of war.” At the head of all his pisposable troops, the Governor of Egypt, under dretence of quelling the insurrection in Syria, and rescuing his son from the critical position to which, as he gave it out the victorious insur gents had reduced him, has landed in that coun try and completed his preparations for a new campaign. The Albany Evening Journal thus announces the termination of Mr. Van Buren’s tour:— Mr, an Buren closed his Western excur sion by making a speech to the Young Men’s Collar Convention at Herkimer. This was an appropriate termination of a political tour. It is the first instance, however, that a Vice Pre sident of the United States ever so far lost sight of the dignity of his station, as to make a speech to a political Convention.” PUBLIC MEETING IN FREDERICK CO., VIRGINIA. In pursuance of the invitation of Col. B. D. Smith, one of our delegates, se.c?"d?dd^y the circular of several gentlemen with• tinction of party, as published in the> ,lcP“J can for several weeks past, a hjrge a y respectable meeting, composed of the 200, and on a Inch lie laid out S50 in repairs. The man was very particular in ascertaining how many knots the Leader sail ed in an hour,—with what sails she run lastest, —how near she could lay to the wind, and un der what sail it was best to keep her in a storm. Although the man was a perfect stranger, his enquiries excited no suspicion, as Mr. Dollivei was in the habit of letting out the boat, and ac customed to have such queries put to him. In a few days after this occurrence the boat was stolen, and from information which Mr. Dolli 1 ver received from different vessslsthat came in to Boston, he was led to believe that his boat was on her way to this city. He accordingly pro ceeded hither, and yesterday morning, while on the look out along the East river, saw his boat and pursued her, and having come up with her, found her in possession of the identical person who was so particular in his enquiries a few weeks ago in Boston. No other person was on board, and Mr. D. took the man into custody and brought him to the Police office, where he said his name was William Stewart, and gave so unsatisfactory an account of how he obtain ed the boat, that he was committed to prison.

MARYLAND ELECTIONS. The returns from Maryland show, thus far, 4 great gain for the Wuigs. We give below all the information we have received by the last mails: Prince George’s.—Messrs. Gantt. Duvall, Wor thington, and Key, (four Whigs) elected. Last year there were two Whigs and two Jackson men. Charles County.—Messrs. Dulany, Merrick, Carpenter, and Hughes, (four Whigs) elected by a majority of two hundred and thirty-one votes. St. Mary’s.—Four Whigs elected. Frederick.—In Frederick county, which last year sent four Jackson delegates, by a majority of 450 votes, four Whigs have been elected by a majoriiy nearly as large Here was thought to be Mr. Taney’s strong hold; it was his for mer residence, and where he was lately escort ed, and feasted, where he made speeches, and was toasted, with an eclat which flattered the party with victory. But what a falling off. Washington.—Four Whigs elected; last year four Jackson-men by a large majority. The triumph in this county is as unexpected and gratifying as that in Frederick. Montgomery.—The whole Whig ticket has prevailed by a handsome majority; the same as last year. Hartford.—Three Jackson, one Whig; the same as last year. Baltimore County.—Four Jai kson. Anne Arundel.—Four Whigs; last year four Jackson. Kent.—Four Whigs; last year two and two. Cecil.—Four Jackson, by a small majority; last year the same without opposition. The returns, therefore, from the counties heard from, give a result of 37 Whigs and 11 Jackson-men. In the same counties last year the aggregate of Delegates stood: 18 Whigs, 30 Jackson-men. N. B. Since preparing the above, the follow ing additional returns have been received. Talbot.—Four Whigs elected—last year two Whigs, two Jackson. Caroline.—Four Whigs elected—last year three Whigs, one Jackson. Somerset.—Three Whigs elected—last year two Whigs, two Jackson. Worcester.—Four Whigs elected—last year four Jackson. Dorchester.—Four Whigs elected. In all 52 Whigs—12 Jackson men. The Baltimore Patriot says: We have not time now to note the variom changes in the State, but can positively assure our liiends at home and abroad, that the re turns show there has been a great revolution in public sentiment in favor of the Whip cause in every County in the State. The JacKson party has been beaten at all points—in fact, com pletely “routed, horse, foot and dra^oon.’ Lastyear the Jackson party had FORTY SE VEN members in the House of Delegates—thu year they will hardly number FIFTEEN! It will be borne in mind also, that the whole Sen ate, fifteen members, are staunch Whigs.” CONNECTICUT ELECTION. The New York Journal of Commerce says: “The election for three Representatives to Congress, to supply the vacancies occasioned by the resignation of Messrs. Foot, Ellsworth and Huntington, took place yesterday. There turns which have reached us areas yetyeryim perfect. We have however conversed with a number of gentlemen, both from New Haven, and from Connecticut River. They all agru' that Jacksonism has relatively gained ground since the last election, and some think, sufficient ly to carry the election in its favor. This wr attribute not so much to any real change of sen timent among the people, as to the fact that ma ny of the Anti Masons, who voted with the Whigs last year, have been thrown this year in to the Jackson ranks, by circumstances which we could in part explain, if we deemed it expe dient. “A most intelligent gentleman from New Ha ven, estimates that the Whig majority in that County will be about 500. At the presidential election in 1832—the Clay votes were IH31 Jackson 658, Wirt 81.” The Commercial Advertiser says: The election in Connecticut, to supply thre^ vacancies in the present Congress from that State, took place yesterday. A few scatters returns have been received, but not sufficient to enable us to form anyr opinion as to the re sult. In Hartford, when the boat left at 2 P s the Whigs were 23 ahead—Middletown, 27 Ja^’ son majority—Chatham, 108 do.—(ilastenbury. 73 do.—Durham, 47 do.— Lynn, 12 do.—Say brook, 12 do.—Haddam, 60 do.—New London. 32 do.—North Haven, 27 do.— Derby. 19 d°" N'ew-Ilaven, 222 majority for the Whigs—Eajt Haven, 31 do.—Hamden, 111 do.—Milford,| do.—East Haddam, 12 do. These scattering returns may not be correct, but they are sue as we have. They leave the Whigs two hun dred and thirty only aheHd, whereas in the-* towns our majorities should have been, at twr-lvp hundred twelve.,undared.jon Iearn that Groton has given, as usual, a very strong JJ' son majority, and that Norwich and Stonin„ have gone for the Whigs.” From the Winchester Virginian. Berryville, Oct. 1, 1SJI Messrs. Filitnrs:—1 have this evening s^pa paragraph in your paper, which has gone rounds in many newspapers, stating that o»" lual niece (in italics) of General W ashing lately applied to the overseers of the poorat John’s parish, North Shields, England, t° lief.

His unparalleled egotism and insufferable ferocity have made him a great many enemies, and his last work, on the Domestic Manners of Sir Walter Scott, has furnished Fraser a text to read him a most memorable sermon. The following delicate tit-bit is served up for the palate of literary gour mands at the very outset of the entertainment. There is no author, living or dead, who has supplied us with so many lives of himself as Hogg. As a friend of his once said of him in Blackwood’s Magazine, he has made a perfect stye of our literature; and here we have him again. On the present occasion, however, we are entertained not merely with a grunt about himself, but he has impressed his hoofs on the memory of Sir Walter Scott.” “It is Hogg all over,” the critic continues, coarse, egotistical, vain, regardless of obliga tion, careless of truth, and ready to take advan tage of any opportunities injudiciously afforded him to break through the decencies and priva cies of life, if by so doing lie could furnish up ma terials for an article.” How applicable is this de scription to some of our administration editors!

This is therefore to forewarn all persons what soever from purchasing the same; that said Trustees can make no title to any other person that can be valid; and at the same time to noti fy the said Robert I.

HYOEIANISM. TIE following testimonials of the superior efficacy of the HTGE1AN MEDICINES in the cure of our diseases, speak in a language which must carry conviction to the minds of the mo* skeptical:— Bnown Uaivxasrrv, Dee.25» 1833. Tn Mr. Samuel Young, Agent for the Hygeian Vege table Universal Medicines, for the State of Rhode Island. Sin—Gratitude to the Great Preserver of Men corn pda me, in compliance with tout request, to grve a brief statement of a cure, which, I think, ^received from the Hygeian Medicines. I give publicity to the same the more cheerfully, because thereby, perhaps, may be useful to some of my fellow-men, who may be afflicted with a similar disease. My complaint was called Pulmonary Consumption, and that my real condition may he explicitly under* stood, I state, in connexion with the relation of the cure, some of the symptoms of the disease. In Sep tember, 1832,1 caught a severe cold, which settled on my lungs; I was confined to my room about one week, whk 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 bleedmg at the lungs. I had not to my knowledge, received any hurt 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 *cry little ap petite, and withal, very weak A few weeks determined that 1 was in a decline I received the attention of the most skilful Physicians, who often seemed to check the progress of the dis ease, and inspire the hope of s speedy recovery. But relapse upon relapse, and etch bringing me lower tbart the preceding, seemed to bsffle all human skill, and warn me of an approsebfig dissolution. Thus, months after the first sttack, a tubercle” [small ul cer] broke in the Inngs, after which I spat blood, one dsy. I continued to decline twomonths longer, when I obtained the Ilygeian Medicines I bad now been unable to sit up a whole dsy, for four months and a half My feet were cold and lifele**, sleen unsound, j cold night sweats constant, tongue furred, pulse in the I afternoon from seventy-five tn one hundred per mi nute, food produced great distress, appetite very poor, pain in the breaat directly opposite the heart, attended with some cough, he. he. Such vn my condition, when I first became acquainted with the Hygeian Medicines I commenced taking the medi 1 cine*, four pills at a dose, and increase 1 the dose dai ly, one up to the number of twelve. In about ten j days, my appetite became good, and food produced I 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, avenging about ten pilla at a dose; the greatest num ber taken at any one time was fifteen. After this, I took about four dose* a week, until I had taken about thirteen hundred pill*, when I found myself restored to health. After I commenced the Hyg-*isn, I took no other medicine. One year from the first attack, I w*s able to resume my studi -s in college, where I have since remained without any recurrence of the disease. Hitherto I have been convalescent; and H my strength is not yet fully returned, I am certain I have less pains, and am more free from temporary i sickness, than at any time since my earliest recollec* I tion. Yours, with respect, HORACE T. LOVE; Da If. Smbpieasd Moat. Dear Sir—I wish to atate that my sister, 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 soreneas in her side; indeed, to use her own expression, her os on one side had turned in, actually deformed. The pain waa 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 o If, and perhaps, over exertion with it. After using a few, doses of N’o. 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 case being made public for the benefit of others; and am, dear air, yours truly, H. DYER. Lowell, Massachusetts, Feb. 8, 1834. In justioe to Dr. M„ her medical adviser, when he heard her improvement in health, he recommended peraeverence in the uae of he medicines. This valuable Medicine, being composed only of vegetable matter, or medicinal herbs, and warranted, on oath, as containing not one particle of mercurial, mineral, or chemical substances, (all of which are un congenial to the nature ol man, and therefore destruc live to the human frame,) ia found to be perfectly harmless to the moat tender age or weakest frame, un der every stage of human suffering; the moat pi taaant and benign in it*operation, and at the same time the most searching out the root of every complaint, how* ever deep, and of perfotming a cure, that was ever offered to the world. This wonderful effect, too, ia produced by the least trouble to the patients, by merely swallowing a certain number of small pills, and being called a few extra times to the purposes of eva* cuation, with the least possible sensation of pain, or exhaustion of bodily strength, and without the fear of catching cold, or attention to dress or diet, in any way different from their accustomt d habits. These pills cure all case*, and cannot be taken to i excess Experience, which is the touchstone of all 1 human knowledge, haa long borne testimony to the fact; and extensive uae of them has already verified its truth in this country. These medicines cure by purging; and yet the weak, the feeble, the infirm, the nervous, the delicate, are in a few days strengthened by their operation, because i they clear the body of its bad humours, and invariably 1 procure sound sleep. They are the safest and most efficacious medicine to take to sea; preventing scurvy, costiveness, kc. The Vegetable Cleansing Powder* are of great as sistance to patients, and facilitate the evacuation of bad humours; they soften, clesnse, and detaeh the acrimonious phlegm; are cooling, and allay the thirst. One, two, or three powders may be taken throughout the day, mixed in half* wine glass of water. The genuine Medicines can be had of WM.

Dear Sir —It is now upwards of twenty years that I have used your New London lldi-ms I’ills in my fami ly, and always found them an efficient purgative in al- j i most everv description of disease, and believe they sa» ved many a long doctor’s bill by their early and timely use. 1 never found their accustomed certainty to vary I in their operation and effects until a few months past; j and having, since then, been sadly disappointed in eve- j ry iiutance of using them, I began to conclude that you I bad 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 SIGNATURE 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 l had without this teat, 1 be- I gan to suspect that 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 with it, until I came to the Messrs Keerls’, who assured me they had them direct from you. I procured a box, and on using them, found the same efiects from them 1 had always experienced, and am so much rejoiced on finding my i se> fin aspossemn of a medicine I so highly prize, that 1 that 1 cannot, in justice, refrain from giving you this information. To avoid the imposition of counterfeits and spu rious imitations, as related above, the purchaser has only to examine the bill of directions covering each box, and if signed at foot, in my own handwriting, im mediately under 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.

Re by a spurious article, bearing the name of Jud. kins* Ointment,” the proprietor avails himself of the authority granted to turn in his letters paten., now to c«R the Ointment after his own name. Henceforth it will be known by the name of SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC 01 NT MEN T, (formerly Judkint'.) When I firs* made and prepared this Ointment, anl had, in several instances, experienced its good effects, I sent it to several physicians, with instructions in what cases to apply it, who were of opinion that tne 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 vertlieless, it might be progated in this adulterated si tuation, as it might in some degree resemble the origi nal—and in this way its good effects would be oblitera ted Under these considerations, I secured the origi nal and certain remedy for those obstinate disease*, some of which have so long baffled the skill of me dical science: 1st White swellings of every description; 2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing, 3d Schirrus or glandular turn >rs, particularlythose hardened tumors in women’s breasts, which oftentimes terminate in ulcetated cancers; 4th Felons; or what some people know by thename of catarrhs, of every description. 5th Rheumatic pains ot the joints; 6lh Sprains and bruises of every description,or in whatever part situate; 7th Tetters of all kinds. In this complaintthe pa tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part out of water; 8th Chilblainsorpartsaffected by frost. It is also one of the best remedies for bums »nd scalds. It eases the pain and draws the fire out in s short time. For inflamed women’s breasts and glandultr swtl lings, it is superior to any me licine vet known to the 1 medical faculty. It is much safer than mercurial ap plication*, (as it does not contain the smallest atom of any prepiration of the mineral,) because it does not Ijy the patient liable to injury from exposure to cold. This Ointment has cured sores of many years stand ing. Where it is impossible or imprudent to Leal the external sore, in consequence of the bones becoming carious oi rotten, it will stop the progress of the caries, iucret.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 Cache, Member of the Haute of Re presentatives in Congress.

I consider it the most decided and efficient remedy in all cases of tumor, be the esute whatit may; and 1 have found nothing so good for wounds of any description It may be proper to add, that the cure of a tumor called white swelling, given over by the most distinguished physicians aa in curable, and which th ;y decided would, withoutampu* 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- Hislitnb affectedbv the tumor being restored to a perfect state of aound* ness.
