“ Oft he career of Gen. Harrison I need not speak

the addition of a few regulars, uvsder the command
of Brigadier General Harrison, who possesses the
entire confidence of his fcllov> soldiers, among
whom are citizens some of then volunteers in the

In Mr. Madison’s message of December 1813, the
compliment was extended, as follows :

“General Harrison has done more lor his coun

living.” President Madison,
Ex Governor Isaac Hill, November 23, 1813, in
the New Hampshire Patriot said :
“ What man lives, whose whole heart and soul is
not British, that cannot sincerely rejoice in the late
victories of Perry and Harrison, that does not feel
a pride in the valor and patriotism of t lie heroes of
tfie West. who have freed a country large as the
Empire of Alexander the Great, from tire Indian
tomahawk and scalping k nife 1 if there be such an
one, he ts a traitor to the country—he possesses the
spirit of a murderer.”
John M. Niles, late Van Buren candidate for Gov.
in Connecticut, in his lile of Perry published in
1821, after giving a general biography of Gen- Har
rison, said ;
“ The defence of Fort Meigs, and the subsequent
capture of the British army, may be fairly consider
ed the most brilliant and extraordinary events ol the
late war.”
In alluding to the battle of the Thames, he said :
“It must be conceded that this victory reflected
great honor upon the national arms, and upon the
troops by whom it was achieved.
“ The action, and the movements which preceded
it, afforded ample testimony of the judgement and
cool intrepidity cf Gen. Harrison; and, indeed,
all the events of the campaign support these char
aciistics ; the disasters aitending it having, in no in
stance, been imputable to him.
“ There are perhaps on record few instances of
such cool and steady intrepedity, on the part of
militia, or a force of this description, as was display
ed on this occasion.
“ Harrison and Perry left Detroit in the Artel, and
arrived at Erie on the 22d of October. Here they
were received with every demonstration of joy and
admiration; the discharge of cannon, illuminations
&c. They were hailed as the deliverers of the
rrontiers.”

JL to tin ir manifest and sensible action in piui

them with renewed tone and vigor. In manv hun

MOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS AND PH E NIX BIT
TERS have been grolefuiiy and publicly ac
knowledged by the persons benefiitted, and who
were previously unacquainted with the beau!ilully
philosophical principles upon which they are
compounded, and upon which they eonsequently
act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves
in diseases ot every form and descripiion. Their
first operation is to loosen from the coals ot the
stomach and bowels, the various impurities and
crudities constantly settling around them ; and to
remove the hardened feces which collect i
convohisions of the smallest intestines. Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to produce habitu
al costtveness with >ll ils train ol evils, or in a sud
den d.arrhop-a, with its eminent dangers. This tact
is well known to ail regular anatomists, who ex
amine the human bowels after death ; and hence
the prejudice of those w ell informed men against
quack medicines—or medicines prepared and her
feled to the public bv ignorant p< rsons. 'J he se
cond effect of the Lite Medicines is to cleanse the
kidneys and the bladder, and by this means, the
liver and the lungs, the healthful action ot which
entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary
organs. The blood, which lakes its red color from
the agency ot the liver and the lungs before it
pas>es into the hea t, being thus purified by them
and nourished by food coining from a clean stom
ach, courses Ireely thiougli the veins, renews every
part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the
banner of health in the blooming cheek.
Moffat’s Vegetable Lite Medicines have been
thoroughly attested, and pronounced a sovereign
remedy lor Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation of
the Heart, Loss ol Appetite, Heart-bura and Head
ache, Restlessness, 111-temper, Anxiety, Languor
and Melancholy, Costiveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera,
Fevers of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies
of all kind, Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consump
tion, Scurvy, Liters, Inveterate Sores, Scorbutic
Eruptions and Had Complexions, Eruptive com
plaints, Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable
( omplexions. Salt Rheum. Erysipelas, Common
Colds and influenza ai.d various oilier complaints
which afflict the humar frame. In fever and
ague, particularly, Ihe Lite Medicines have been
nv.steminently successful; so much so that in the
Fever and Ague districts, Physicians almost uni
versally prescribe them.
All that Mr. Moffat requires of his patient is
to he particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly
according lo the directions, it is not by a news
paper notice, orany ihirg that he himself may say
in their lavor, that he hopes to gain credit, it ;s
alone by the resuh of a fair :rial.
MOFFAT’;B MEDICAL MANUAL ; designed

Die. E. BPUIJN, a German pny.-ac.iar. of much
note, navmg devoteu ms attention lor some
years to tnecure and removal oi the causes of NER
VOUS AND SICK HEAD ACHE, has the satis
faction to make known, ihai he has a remedy w hich
by removing the causes cures effectually and perma
nently this distressing complaint. There are many
families who have considered Sick Headache a con
stitutional incurable family complaint- Dr. S. as
sures them tfiat ihey are mistaken, ai d labouring
under distress which nicy might not only alleviate
but actually eradicated by the use if his remedy.
It is the result of scientific research,and is entirely
of a different cbaiacler from advertised patent medi
cines, and is not unpleasant to the taste.
HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr Spohn’s
remedy for this distressing rompaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter ol much astonishment,
'That so m ich suffering should have existed for ages
without any discovery of an effectual preventiv •, or
cure, is truly a subject of much regret hut Dr. S.
now assures the public that such a remedy has been
invented as will convince the most,credulous. The
principles on which it acts are simple and plain. It is
an a milled fact that this complaint, whether called
Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim
arily from the stomach—those who think they have
the Nervous Headache may rest assured that this
organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that th a sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, thiough the
stomach, and that only through ilio same channel
must they expects restoration of jhe natural and
healthy functions ol the system. ’This object. Dr
Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to aitam.
The truth of this position cannot he controverted,
and the sooner sufferers with the headache become
convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering end
in restoration ol health, Dr. ISpohn pledges his
prrfessiouat reputation on lhis fact. The remedy
may be had of apothecaries generally throughout
the United Stales.
