The Seneie chamber wee tilled this mottling with the beauty, fashion, and intelligence of iht rity, to see and hear the expected sally between Mr Clay and Mr Calhoun—Mr Calhoun being entitled to the floor. The debate commenced at one o'clock. *l'B TlruiUT BILL. Mr Calhoun said he rose in fulfilment nf a promise which he had made when he last address ed the Senate, to reply in his own good leisure i to the reply ol the Senator from Kentucky. I am at a loss to believe, continued he, whether it is most remaikable for its omissions or its mis takes. Mr C laid the Kcnator from Kentucky had misrepresented him in almost all that ho had said in his opinions against the substitute of Mr rivea—the bill before the Senate—and the Bank ul the (-nited States. Mr Calhoun then specifi ed those misrepresentations, as ho called them, which Mr Clay had uiferod to his remarks. The senator from Kentucky, continued Mr C, Bujugdit proper to introduce certain putsonnl remarks, which adverse as { am to all personal allusions, I will not pass by unnoticed. VVc me sent here, said Mr C., not to wrangle but to attend to public business. But no caution on my part could prevent me from being answered in a personal manner. •He has made a gratuitous and peis mat assault 1 'fn me. He asserted that I expected aid In mi the opposite party, and this was the reason why 1 lisd gone over upon the opposite side or bll Ins paily, i cannot, continued Mr C attribute a love nf personal abuse. — for lint character of the Senator forbids rue to do so,—an the reason why j lie thought prqper to answer me in the manner | ire did, I cannot believe he did il with a view | to intimidate me. The senator knot's me 100 well j to 1 eliovo'llial I can he intimidated. J represent h const minify as respectable as ilto.-c represent -ediby lire senator, and 1 can find but one motive | why the senator referred tome in the manner bo has done. The tSeoalor, despairing of u'ettbiow ing by hit argument my argument, has resorted i to personalities m the hope (bet they would, answer my argument. •Viewed in ibis light ho intends ilrern a« «m answer in part to my argument. Tito Senator lias imposed upon me a double rimy, and before ■1 have done 1 -ball place my character as (at above the shahs of the Senator as my argument was above his ability In meet it. Mr. Calhoun heiu went on, us he said, to give nil outline of the principal events in his past his tory, to prove that he bad been a consistent man, and m this part o! bis subject ho called tip - n the Secretary of Ilia Senate to mid in a loud and distinct manner |>url of a speech made by him in IrtJ-l. Mr Calhoun also called upon the Semi' tors as hit judges to listen to his speech, and to his opinions of himself. Mr Calhoun was very interesting, except when mad ng, and having Test! columns of old speeches made years gone by. Mr Calhoun, however said (bat all llrese extracts were iiccosmiy, in order to prove that he had not gone from one side to another. Mu wished to clear his skirts from any such charge. .The extracts wete the longer putt ul Mt Caltoun'e speech. The reading of old speeches having been gone through, MrC went utt in continuation. Me ■averred Ural lie hail been consistent —always consislcn —and no man had been more so than •himself. <Hii rule of action hail been consistency, and yet the Senator, when Ins consistency was upon recotd, and had been proved by the speech es which had been read—said he hurl gone over —!t d changed sides. But Jmy course, ns has been seen,< is consistent, and Ins charges tall to the ground, from written testimony I have pro ved my consistency, and -I think I have 0.-eaped victorious. [The good opinion ol Mr Calhoun •■concerning tnmselland bis speeches, hero excited a general expression of meirimvnl in the Senate Chamber.] Mr < odhotin went on lo answer that pari of Mr • Clay’s speech, which quoted from Ins Kdgelteld duller in aiiawer (o un invitation to partake ol a public dinner. In that letter, as you may remetn b r.jho spoke of the susj elision of specie payments ami the impoilant political events of (bo day connected therewith. Mr Calhoun made a patty ; qu stiotl of it, and made his remarks, sumo ul . them at least—of a party character. Mr Calhoun , however, had one of the extracts rend, and then | with a burst of excitement said, that the charge , •of tho Senator falls to the dust, and there I tram ple it down with scorn. The dart thrown falls bat miens at my feet, and 1 pick il up and tlvrow it hack, Mr Calhoun then wertt un and said lie had not left the party of wjtich tha Senator from Ky. was a distinguished member. Ho had not lull that parly, for ho never belonged to it, although die bad acted j with it. i belong to no parly ex •cept the old Kepuhlicitn party ol '08 —to tins and none other. J support all parlies who support that parly, and oppose all patties who o|\po*u tint. Mr. Calhoun then addressed himself to the friends of the Administration in the Senate. — T >nr principles will tiiumph, said he, youi hill will ho victorious and yougmuinphant, if von have a careful eye lo the finances ol the annuity. Mr. Calhoun then spnke of his own intellectual powers iiii answer to Mr. Clay, who had called Ms. Colheun ■ metaphysical man. Mr. Calhoun said he could not accuse Mr. Clay of possessing tins high power. In the absence and in the want •f it he acted iimler the influence ol lighter and rooio flighty qualities wf mind. He chose ihe spe cious lo the true—the apparent to the teal —the fanciful to the sound. Mr. Calhoun said that ho had been nearly twenty-seven years a public man, and he hah been consistent and utnlorm from that lime to the pi strut. He came into public bio at tin early age, and had continued in public life over since. He came into public life when Mr. Madison was Chief Magistru'o, and during Ihe war, and h s apevchca then were proof that he was a practical and consistent and sound man. From Congiess I passed to the War Department, and 1 lound that Department embarrassed and disorganised, and soon I put it in good order ami placed it in a flourishing condition. From tins Department J was made Vice President, and then I tallied lo the only man whom 1 thought could ai rest the abates of the country. 1 was mistaken, and since then 1 ha» - e hcfme proved myself a consis tent man. 1 ha»e now rcprlloj the charge, and as I think cancelled the debt between me and the Senator front Kentucky. Mr. Calhoun Iters concluded, and all eyes were immediately turned upon Mr. Clay. Mr. Clay at onra rose, and said, that but for the present interesting occasion, lie should not have appeared in his place. His health was not good, and he was much indisposed. But as 1 am, 1 am—self-prepared ami self poised. Ido not ask two or three weeks to ptcpaio and concoct any speech in reply lo the Senator from Mouth Carolina. That Senator began his re marks by referring lo '.he omissions in Ins written speech. Here Mr. Calhoun interfered, and said that he shoo'd like to interrupt him, tor be did not mean to say that the Monitor had omitted any tiling, Mr. Cl ay said he had not interrupted the Sen ator, and lie wished net to be inletrupted. Mi. Clay went on and complimented ihe unques tioned talents ami ability of the Senator. Mr Clay then said, that all the complaints of the Senator in regard to his speech vvere in lact not I that he had misstated Ins arguments, but that be i bad not given all the circumstances sia'erl. Well, 1 co itinued Mr. C. he compiains that I accuse him ] ol tncuiioisicncv when he says that duties should * " i Ueeivvd *j>n geld krul -ilver and ill nothing eUe, I and yet consents lo receive Hank paper fur six I roars. A National Bank is inn unconstitutional | vtiofi yon gi*e it a charier foi six years, ll is not unconstiißlions) whan you give it a chsiler fur more than twelve years, for that would lie un constitutional! Mr. (Jltiy then enumerated Mr Ualhou ti s specchee, votes, opinions pro and con upon tlio subject of a National Bunk. Mr. Clay then spoke of the Edgeftelil letter, and said, when I raw this letter I could defend the Senator from Houth Carolina no longer.— Even after hts change, I did defend his motive, but when the Senator says that ho neither con ft lea “in our firmness, 0.. r wisdom, nor our patriotism," an.) yet after doliharslely sending it away—alter declaring that he neither confided in our wisdom, our firmness, nor our patriotism, and yvl acting with us who wi re so unwise, and so weak, and so unpatriotic, for the long period he did, he goes home and denounces us. But, con tinued Mr. Clay, the Henulor is always right, and every body eUe is always wrong. His (hurt dcr is always light. Every body’s thunder but his iu always wrong. Mr. Clay continued,andaniiriadverted in streng terms upun the position of tbe Senator—triced I his watideiing course through all his political I labyrinths, and said he should leave all compfcrj , son between the Senator's speech and Ids r. ply j by inferring those who chose to see them to the j speeches themselves. They were both before tho public—deliberately put llturo—anil those who eho-e lo be arbiters might judge for themselves. No man, said Mr. Clay, is more averse to per sonal controversy than lam Tho duly I had to put form with him was a painful one, and even alter Ins extraordinary summerset from one pmty j li* another, upon moie occasims than one, when ■ attacked 1 defended Ids motives. The senator from South Caroline, continued I Mr. C. like some other prophets, ptedicls very I well after the occurrence lias happened. In I sumo ol bis la'ii speeches foretelling futuic i V events, ho lias forgotten what he said, lie has lorgoltcn that he onct —and in 1814, violently opposed the sub treasury, and was willing to give a twelve years’ cllar.er lo llto United Sla os Hunk. Tbe Senator says also that lie has quit our parly. Now said Mr. Clay, I put it to the Senator himself, and a>-k him if it is not too mui>h to ask of the public lo believe that all tho VVltigs have led him, and all the supporters of the administration have gono to him, while ho has stood unmoved where ho was, without change of position or ol principle, and yet he would argue here that he alon i has not changed while every Unly else has changed. Wo, he says, are unwise, nopal iolic; and without firm ness, while he is wise, linn and patriotic. Mr. CJjAV continued and said, I shall anim mlvuil and comment, and reply to the public acts ol llto senator from Houth Carolina, and I shall do it under all the responsibility of my station. When he dues as he has done; speaks us he lots spoken; he must and shall be tebuked lor the course he .pursued, lie deserves it; for I no man bus been more bitter in his denunciations; | more variable in Ins enur.se, or laid so much I claim lo consistency of diameter. .'peaking ol Mr. Calhoun’s patriotism, Ml. (flay said, 1 am aliatil the political geography of the Senator from South Carolina does not mean much. 1 am afraid that his patriotism means tho (south; that his Sunlit means Carolina, and that South Catuhna is no more then Fort lltll |in Houth Carolina. When a man lays claim to | no much, he generally has but little; nnd when | a man questions the want of patriotism nnd | linnoess ul a whole parly; the inference is fair I that he has not too much himself. I Helen mg to some ol Mr. Calhoun's remarks , about bribery and corruption; in ended as n I personal insinuation; Mr. (day said diet if die Senator from Houth Carolina wished lo rake up the old story ol George Kroner, lo cover hi? own ' nakedness, lie Was welcome. Mr. Clay then at j length explained anti defended Ins vote upun that occasion. [Mr. Adams, the venerable Ex-l’resi deni, was beside Mr. Clay, and Mr. Tope who I eomes from Ins district sal before him.] Mr. Clay said that he had never regretted the vole he then gave, it was one of the proudest reflec tions ol Ini life that he hail contributed in no way to elevair the lute executive of the United H.ales. Tho vote he hud given tor the lespccted and venerahtu man beside him, had the approval of Ins own conscience, and the approval of the people he in part [(’presented. They had lime and again sanctioned It s vote. Mr Clay continued, ami said that when the Hcaator Irom Houth ‘Carolina undertakes lo prove hts consistency, he will undertake, to prove totne thitig which cannot he proved, lie hat nut been consistent as I have proved and can prove again. In conclusion, Mr Ciay aaid that the Senator had allowed ivimsell to use some epithets ndwch are net custmniny in deliberative bodies, us •scorn’ vlkc. In answer I have none of them lo hurl, and 1 can assure the Hewutar that 1 recipra. cate all he has said. Tbe debate was futliter continued by Mi. Cal houn in repealed retorts and rejoinders, and hy Mr Prealon to teply some remarks made by Mr. Clay in regard lo Nullification. Mxneti Ilth. After aome trttsovMsncoua business the orders I of the day,—the Sub Treasury Bill, —ware call- I ed. Mr Webster was entitled to the floor, and com. rnenccd hts remarks by saying— The functions of this Government affecting its most impiulunt interests, were those connect ed with bade and commerce. Identified as these were with the peace and prosperity of the coun try, it was well to consider things as (hey were. From nothing the country had become great and magnificent. Our exports were $129,000,000, our Impotls $128,000,000,—53,000,000 was the amount of our tonnage. Its manulaciuros most important, and (tie country was not only vast in its trade but vast in its extent. Our Foreign Debt, —not our Commercial Debt, which was now more than $13,000,1K'D —but onr loans amounted to nut less Ilian $100,000,000. Mr. Webster, slier staling in a conscise man ner, what was and what is the condition of the country, physically and historically, entered upon a revision of its financial prosperity —its curren cy, and the peculiarity of Us monetary system. Our currency was a mixed currency, part paper amt part specie. Our country, half a century old, iiad proved and tried this mixed currency and found it sufficient fur all the pul poses of hie—for all the wants of the country —tor all the business 0 tiro cot air’s This system of currency was identified with the credit of the country. Mr. Webster then j uttered upon a lucid and eloquent review of the j credit system of the country. It was identified with the happiness of the country. It aneoura ! gevl labor, ll united labor with capital. It 1 ! made generally the laborer tbe capitalist. There were exceptions to this, but as a general remark it was true. Where is this capital now I said Mr. Webster. In your banks, —in your canals—in your rail-roads—budges—turnpikes—and public works—not 111 uso but idle. In England, continued Mr. Webster, the capi alu s increase their capital by dividends upon j the public debt of Ciioat Britain. As capitals, it 1 favored no industry, it encouraged no industry, it was identified with nothing tlist was active, or that gave activity to the eouniiy. Could the debt of England be paid off at once, the capitalists who now invest their capital in the debt, and who iicvivo their interest hum dividends made upon the puo.it: debt—could this, said Mr. Webster jbu paid oil UMtu-rrow, the EnglUh capitalist I | would inve-1 Ins capital in works of Tuhii:Jin-l , provement, and the hi in li’ would he immense t > ■ 11. tV*gi* would iucrca-k, u‘i>d • revolution would be seen in ev- ry pari of England. The moatarialocrstis sentiment ever uttered iu thia country, mid Mr, Webatcr, was that which ■aid that ‘thus* who traded on borrowed capital ought to break.’ And wliat won!d he the effects of this? eaid Mr. Webster. Capital would be boaided and made a dead rnasa, and nut as Ire loro a living and active principle. The elf'Cl Vvaa to make ibe laboring classes of this country but little belter llmti the serfs of Hussm. It was tliis borrowed capital that gave prosperity to the new Staler, and tin: icpregentfirtvei of the new Slates nhonld be the first (o foster and encourage it—(Mr. Webster piVrsued this inquiry at some lengili and with great interest, showing the ma gic and beneficial power of a wholesome credit System.]—Much, said Mr. Websier, has Ireen said by the Senator from Souih Carolina of the interests of the cotton growing Staler. And What is this interest more than that of the grain-growing man if Indiana,—of the weaver ahd shoemaker of Philadelphia,—of the nianufacluies ol ihe North,—of the producer of provisions,—of any interest equal with it in oslrm—of the $00,00(1,000 which is lha annual noiooo'of die Co tort prod a ditithe South' And it is » fair calculation that ol this tC’O.UOO,- I 0(70, $'15,000,000 are spent among the producers, among the employer and the employed. Air. Webster went on to illustrate the in tcrcata oftne own State, end untbT ilia head of M isriclniseile an array of startling facta was staled to the Senate* With 700,DU0 people, and O,(JW square miles, M ssaclnueite, ■ small Slate, lias an annual product of $lOO, to every man, woman and child m the iiiuic, and her annual mm* ufn turus amount to $140,000,000. Tin* too whs fur boote, and tdtoes and leather, and books and wool, nod woollens, and f»r like imelul articles. Tne enure iwanufnciure of jewelry umounted only to 15 or 100,000 dol lars of ibis whole sum. And yet with these facts before us, on fX ampiu tifii mulninde of such lads in many ol the SialOa—against tins system a cry or ••mo nopoly” was made- It m ole “the rich richer* ami the poor poorer,” was another contemp tible and base and unpatriotic declared opin ion upon this subject—a cry inlended to have an effect on the worn* and baser passions of men. Betides, nu lling was more false o» mo'c unjust. Mr, Webster then entered upon nn ex amination ol the Banking system of the Uni ted Stales. There were, he Haiti, in the United States 700 banks—between II mid 400.000,000, dollars of capital—soo,ooo,ooo of specie, and §lOO,OOO 000 ol bank noiss in circulation. Mr. Webster commented upon these statistics in relcreucu to Lhcir arrange ments, benefits, evils, &o. <Scc. Mr. Websier then said dial if there had been an expansion of tlm currency,—and he did nut doubt but I here had been, —the Guv eminent was the cause.— Here Mr. W.read a Idler from llie Secretary of the Treasury written just after the removal of the Dcpos-, lies, 'i'liu letter instruct'd! the Deposite Banka to discount to the lull amount of their ability, and to the lull mean* which the dt’- pos.tes allowed, giving as large discounts to the merchants ns possible, consistent with oilier claims. And yet lot acting under and carrying out tiiese instructions, llie bill before the Senate had introduced a section of pains and penalties. Tire Government commanded a thing, the doing of winch was to be punished with pains and pcimfs tics. Mr. Webster enlarged upon this branch of his argument, and proved that for all un due excess the Government alone was res p m.-ible. Air. W. then made an argument to show the I'ffct of contraction and the necessi ty ol a liberal circulation of notes among the people. With hut one exception, and that a recent one, he said there had not been a time when onr circulation was 100 large for the wants of the country. The country would have got along, Mr. Webster said, without a suspension <>t specj£ payments had it not been for the Treasury order of July and the manner in winch that order was executed. There would without tins j order, no doubt have been suffering dis tress, but Hie Banks he thought wou d not have been compelled to suspend specie payments. The paper circulation between the Uniicd States ami Great Britain was like next topic discussed by Mr- Webster. The difference between the two countdes, ami the causes of this difference, were stated at length, and with great ability. Mr. Webster proved that we had been twofold more rigid and severe in •stir dealings with Banks and monied institu tions, and had suffered two fold evil for sn do ing. In our intercourse with the Banks the interest of the Bankers is os 100 to 1000. The interest of the people in the Banks is as 5000 to 1000 The Banks bcivufited the conn try as much as the country benefited the Banks Between the People and the Banks, the favor shown to the People was as four to one. The cry against the Banks was a chaps' dy, un meaning and erroneous—and but for effect. Mr. Webster then came to the Bill before the Senate, and said he should consider it, first, as to its mode of keeping or guarding the Public money v and secondly in reference to its effects upon the 'community. Mr. Webster asked if the bill was to be succeeded by other measures ? Was the bill intended to do away with all paper Circulation ? Was it intended to have a gold and silver circulation exclusive ly ? Mr. Webster thought not, and yet that was the out-of-door clamor. Down with the Banks—down with these 700 little monsters was the cry out-of-doors and sometimes here* while, however, it was generally acknowledg ed here that there must be some banking in the country. What, said Mis Webster, is to he the con sequence ol this } Suppose we anticipate the passage of the six years which allow the pay» incut of some portion of the public duet in pa per. Suppose this lime now come, and an ex clusive specie payment to be legalised. It will venture the prediction, said Mr. Webster, let such a measure be authorised to-morrow morning, and your bill to go into operation to morrow morning, and before five o’clock to morrow evening there will be 300 private banks in the community. Every broker will 1 become a banker—every body will bank, and I people will do among themselves what the Government will not allow to be done. In four and twenty hours, said Mr. Webster, we should go back three hundred years to j the old Bank of Hamburg—making this retro i gressive motion in the brief space of one day, Speaking farther of the impracticability of ! this bill, and the payment of specie, Mr. Web i stcr said that the daily payments made in the I City of New York from Bank to Bank, and from the People to the Banks and Ihe Bank* I to the People, was not less than $80,000,000, and that of the whole country not less than $950,000! And this to lie carried on in spe cie ! How could it be done, and how can It be done ’ Impossible. The effects of this Bill formed another pro minent part of Mr. Webster's speech. The lax-paver was to count out his specie t» the receiver—the receiver to the disburser—the j disbursers to depositors—and depositors to 1 disbursers—and the $30,009,000 received for { | the revenue nuttl be counted five times, or to I life •mount of f 150,000,000 and thus we *1 were to become a tinkling, jingling genera- tl tion of men—a nation of bell-ringers —symbol ( ] linker*—a hard money government. Its effect on the business and commerce of the’tfrfimtry will be that $21,0 •!', 00 willal- » ways on an average, tinder the operations of j this Bill, he hoarded ami kepi from public use. ( You cannot resume specie payments —never —never,. —l arti will.ng to risk my reputation * upon this assertion. You can never resume t specie payments and continue the resumption, „ unless yoit contract almost all the issues nee esiary for the business of the community. Business crwld not go fill, and the beginning 8 would end m another suspension. The effect v was inevitable and undeniable. Contractions t must be made to a ruinous extent under this ( Dill and the country distressed and destroyed. , The constitutional Question formed the next 1 r subject of Mr Webster’s speech, and tills, was I followr d by an eloquent and powerful reply in answer to Mr. Calhoun. Mr. Webster began with the beginning, and took Mr. Calhoun ujJ where Mr. Clay on Saturday had left hint. f Mr. Webster read catracts from Mr. Cal- ■ houn’s speeches, proving that he had chang ed his policy on constildiional Questions, and s , directly denied now what ho had as directly oh sertod years gOne by. The p&wera ilf C&n- 1 great wa» another part of Mr. Webster's an- f iwer to Mr. Calhoun. Here, 100, Mr. W. j proved from written and printed testimony # that he asserted now what he had before de nied, and denied how what he had before as- * serted. • [I must close rrtv report here, without giv- u ing you the tlcsc of Mr. Webster’s speech.] CHRONICLE AND SENITNKL 5 HmmT.k. i Saturday Morning, March 17, 1 The undersigned, Editors ond proprietors of j Newspaper* in llti* city, hare unanitnodaly t adopted the regulation* which folldtV these re marks, to take effect respectively from the date* specified in them. A brief statement or the ■ reasons which led to the adoption of them, mity ( not he improper. We ha*e for a long time fell the necessity of j devising some means by which to remedy the I evils entailed upon Editors by the loos* and in. , dulgent system of credit which has been extended by them towards their customer* and patrons) < and when it is ascertained by the publication of t the names of those indebted to ua one year and upwards, our patrons will see ns plainly as we i now do the necessity under which wc have acted c in adopting these regulations. While many of i our subscribers uniformly and regularly pay their f subscriptions in advance or within the year, \ there are many others who suffer years to elapse \ without paying any thing. Tnis does notarise from a want of ability, for there is no man who , hat any usa for a newspaper, but what is able | to pay for it; but it arises in many instances ( from carelessness, negligence, and a thoughtless- , ness of the importance to the publisher, of prompt p»y. on the part of his patrons. The amount to , each individual subscriber is small, but it should I • , borne in mind that the aggregate of these small , sums constitute the tund out of which the expense* , c-f his office are to ho dafrayed. The expenses ( are very heavy and must be paid, or be must abandon the publication; and if an Editor’s . time is engrossed in running after his patrons 1 from county to county in order'to collect the 3 means to meet his expenditures, it cannot bo ex- preted that he can give that interest to his paper which he could, if by the punctuality of his pat rons ho dovote Ins whole lime to its col umns, Those who ar« the most backward ill paying, arc gonsrally the most ready to complain of tho barrenness nr want of interest in their papers, not reflecting that their own negligence to pay their dues, by compelling the Editor to devote his time to rai-ing the means to meet his expenses, instead of devoting it to his paper, is the very cause of what they themselves com plain 01. If a paper is worth having, it ought to be paid tor; it not, it ought not to bo taken. An Editor is frequently greeted with letters from Post Masters, informing him that some of his subscribers who arc in arrears, have removed, of refuse to lake out their paper, and ha is thus compelled to slop them, and loose perhaps the labor of years. In order to remedy these evils, wo have adop opted the regulations below, in relation to subs, scriptions and they will be rigidly adhered to. Equally imperative has been the necessity of adopting regulations in relation to advertising. Advertisements ate frequently sent to editors without specifying tho length of time sot which they must be inserted, and when the bill is pre sented, the advertiser complains that the into unt is too large, or that he only wanted it published j lor a lew limes, and not unliequently refuses to i pay for them, thus compelling the editor to loose I the debt, or resort to a vexatious lawsuit. If' wen will sutler their advertisements to run with- j out limiting them, they must abide the cotise- ! ■ queners, for it is an easy matter to specify the 1 i i number of times it is desired to publish them. In relation to yearly contracts, it is sufficient 1 to say, that their indefinite character is a para. mount objection to them, giving a latitude which I . we tannot easily control, and yielding a profit . in some instances, wholly inadequate to the ■ labor performed. We have therefore determined ‘ to male no general contracts for advertising to \ an indefinite extent, after the first day of Jan r j uary next. WILLIAM E.

JLe Gonorrhoea and Gleet Pills.—Established for ths raditdtl fcure of Gleet and long continued ure thral discharges, which ultimately embitter the life, inervate the mind, and produces a casting of ihe whole body. These pills have a peculiar tonic and asningent effect, different (and infallibly cer tain,) from all other remedit a. , DrG's connection lor 30 years with the London Lock Hospital,os its physician, has afforded him a rameample scope for not only investigating but experimenting on those hitherto obstinate diseases, which but lew olh»r medical men have enjoyed, if’otir treatment having not on y bo filed and per plexed the present race of medical practitioners, but even the ancients allow their inability to erad icate, and thus millions have been compelled to drag out a miserable existence, shunning socie y and all the pleasures of lile, from the debilitated, nervous, and inactive stale ol their bodies, and alter fruitlessly, and at enormous expense, trying the inert, painful, and irritating plans recommend ed and laid down by nied.cal authorities, who themsehes candidly say that they have not been able to succeed in many cases, have over and again in dusgust and disappointment, discarded ntedicnes altogether, and made up their mind to allow such diseases their own course, and thus ninny able, have been last abode. The countless number ol individuals’Abut have been cured after having been given up by the rt.-onl able surgeons of the day, is uuly gratifying to Doct. r Goodman, and the universal success of hie pills iu acknowledged by the heads of the provision in Europe,as wellas in every state in this country,to form a new era in the radical cure of Gleets and other long continued analogous diseases. -(A\ hen the Gunurrhae lasts longer than a month, it is then termed gleet, which will be effectually J removed in a few days, which, until the introduc tion ol these Pills olten were of years duration, and even till death.
