In alluding to the battle ot the Thames, tie said ;
“It must be conceded that this victory reflected

“ The acl ion. and the movements which preceded

all the events of the campaign support these char

“ There are perhaps on record few instances of j
such cool and steady intrepidity, on the part of 1
militia, or a force of this desenpuon, as was display- j
i ed on this occasion.
“ Harrison and Perry left Detroit in the Ariel, and
arrived at Erie on the 22d of October Here they
were received with every demonstration of joy and

“Os ibe career of Gen. Harrison, I need not
speak—the history of the west is his history For
forty years he has been tdeniified with its interests,
its perils, and its hopes. Universally beloved in
the walks of peace, and distinguished by ids ability
in the councils of his country,he has been yet more
illustriously distinguished in the field. During the
late war, he was Unger in actual service than any
other General Officer ; he was, perhaps, ofiner in
action than any one of them, and never sustained a
defeat."
Such is the man, who, still enjoying his untar
nished fame and glory, and standing on a proud
and lofty eminence where neither malice or envy
can assail him, is now summoned ny his grateful
countrymen to leave the quiet walks of private life
to guide the councils of the nation, “and delivet
the country from the dangers which encompass it."
He will bk her deliverer !

MOFFAT’S VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES
medicines are indebted for their name
M. to lh« ir manifest and sensible action in pnri
lying the spring and channels ol life, and enduing
them with renewed tone and vigor. In manv hun
dred certified cases widen has been made public,
and in almost ever} species of disease to which
the human frame is liable, the happy effects ot
MOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS AND PHENIX BIT
TERS have been gratefully and publicly nc
t nowledged by the persons beuefiitted, and who
were previously unacquainted with the beautifully
philosophical principles upon which they are
eoiupuunled. and upon which they ejnsequenily (
act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themseives
in diseases ol every form and description. Their
first operation is to loosen from the coals ol the
stomach and bowels, the various impurities and
crudities eon tantly settling around them ; anc to
remove the hardened fmces which collect
cotivolusions of the smallest intestines. Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to produce habitu
al cusmencss with » 11 its train ofevils, or in a sud
den daurlm-a, with its eminent dangers. This fact
is well known to all regular anatomists, who ex
amine the human bowels after death ; and hen?e
the prejudice of those well informed men against
quack medicines—or medicines prepared and her-
Uded to the public bv ignorant p< rsons. 4he 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 healthlul action of which
entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary
organs. The blood, which takes its red color from
the agency of the liver and the lungs before it
passes into the hea t, being thus purified by them
and nourished by food coming from a clean stom
ach, courses freely ih.ough 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 for Dyspepsia, Flatulency, I’alpitaiion of
the Heart, Lossol Appetite, Heart-bora and Head
ache, Restlessness, 111-temper, Anxiety, Languor |
and Melancholy, Costiveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera, I
Fevers of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies
of all kind, Gravel; Worms, Asthma and Consump j
tion, Scurvy, Ulcers, Inveterate Sores, Scorbutic i
Eruptions and Bad Complexions, Eruptive com
plainis. Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable |
Complexions, Salt Rheurn, Erysipelas, Common
Colds and influenza and various other complaints j
which afflict the hurna:? frame, in fever and '
ague, particularly, the Life Medicines have been
most eminently 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 be particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly
according to the directions. It is not by a news

Dli. E. SPUfLN, a German pnysiCiar. of much
note, navmg devotea ms attention lor some
years tolnecure and removal ol tne cruses oI.N Ek-
VOIIS AND SICK HEAD ACHE, has the satis
faction to make known, that he has a remedy which
by removing the causes cures effectually and perma
nently this distressing complaint. There are many
famines w ho have considered Sick Headache acoii
stiutuonal incurable lamily complaint- Dr. S. as
sures them that they are mistaken, and labouring
under distress which incy might not only alleviate
but actually eradicated by tbe use >f his remedy.
It is the result of scientific research, and is entirely
of a different character 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 corupaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment,
That so much suffering should have existed for ages
without any discovery of an effectual preventive, or
cure,is truly a subject of much regret but Dr. S.
now assures the public that such a remedy has been
invented as will convince the most credulous. The
principles on w hich it acts are simple and plain. It is
an a milted 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“ sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, thiough the
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expect s restoration of the naiural and
healthy functions ol the system. Tins object, Dr
Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to attain.
The truth of this position cannot be controverted
and the sooner sufferers with the headache become
convinced of it, the sooner w ill their suffering end
in restoration of health, Dr. Spohn pledges his
professional reputation on this fact. The remedy
may be had ol apothecaries generally throughout
the United States.
