THE LEFT EYE.
Translated from the Russian..
A rich old man who had res.ded at tlx
extremity of the camp, quite from the rest
had three daughters, the youngest of whom
named Kookju , was as much distinguished
for her beauty as for her extraordinary
wisdom.
One morning as he was about driviisg
his cattle for sale, to the Chari’s market
place, he bfgged his daughters to tell him
what presents they wished him to bring to
them on his return. The two eldest asked
him for trinkets, but the handsome and
wise Kookju said that she wanted no pre
sent, but that she had a request to make
which it would be difficult and even dan
gerous far him to execute* Upon which
the father, who loved her more than the
two others, swore that he would do her
wish, though it were at the price of his life.
“ If it be so ” replied Kookju , “ I beg
you to do as follows ; sell all your cattle
except the short tailed ox; and ask no
other price for it except the Fhan's left
eye. * The old man was startled—how
ever remembering his oath and confiding
in his daughter’s wisdom, he resolved to
do as she bade him.
After having sold all his cattle, and be
ing asked for the price of the short tailed
ox, he said he would sell it for nothing
else than the Chau’s left eye. The re
port of this singular and daring request
soon reached the ears of the Chan’s cour
tiers. At first they admonished him not to
use such an offensive speech against the
sovereign ; but when they found that he
persevered in his strange demand, they
bound him and carried him as a madman
before the Chan. The old man threw
himself at the Prince’s feet, and confessed
that his demand had been made at the re
quest of his daughter, of whose motives
he was perfectly ignorant ; and the I han
suspecting that somo secret must be hiddeu
under this extraordinary request, dismissed
the old man, under the condition that he
would bring him that daughter who had’
made it.
Koolcju appeared and the Chan asked
“ \\ hy didst thou instruct thy father to de
mind my left eye ? ’
“ Because I expected, my Prince, that
after so strange a request, curiosity would
urge thee to send for me ”
“ And wherefore dost thou desire to see
mel ’
“ I wish to tell thee a truth important to
thyself and thy people.”
“ Name it.”
“Prince,” replied Koolcju, “ when two
persons appear before thee in a cause, the
wealthy and noble generally stand on the
right hand, while the poor and humble
stand on the left. I have heard in my so
litude that thou most frequently favoresi
the noble and rich. This is the reason
why I persuaded my father to ask for thy
Left Eye —it being of no use to thee,
since thou never seest the poor and un
protected.”
The Chan incensed and surprised at the
daring of this maiden, commanded his
court to try her. The court was opened
and the president, who was the eldest La
ma, proposed that they should try wheth
er her strange proceeding was the effect
of malice or of wisdom.
The first step was to send to Kookju a
log of wood cut even on all sides, order
ing her to find out which was the root and
which the top. Kookju threw it into the
water and soon knew the answer by seeing
the root sinking, while the top rose to the
surface -1
After which they sent her two snakes
in order to determine which was a male
and which a female. The wise maiden
laid them on cotton, and on seeing that
one coiled herself up in a ring, while the
other crept away, she judged that the lat*
ter was a male and the former a female.
From these trials the court was convinc
ed that Kookju h id not offended the Chan
from motives of malice, but the inspira
tion of wisdom granted her from above.—
But not so the Chan, his vanity was hurt,
and he resolved to puzzle her with ques
tions to prove that she was not wise. He
therefore ordered her before him, and ask
ed :
“ On sending a number of maidens into
the wood to gather apples, which of them
will bring home the most ‘?”
“ She * replied Kookju, “ who instead
-of climbing up the trees, remains below
and picks up those which have fallen off
from maturity or the shaking of the
branches.” >
The Chan then led her to a fen, and
asked her which would be the readiest
way to get over it- and Kookju said, to
cross it would be .farthest, going round,
•nearest. The ClianTelt vexed at the read
iness and propriety of .her replies, and af
ter having reflected for some time, he
agaiu inquired:
“ Which is the safest means of becom
ing known to many T*
By assisting many that are unknown/*
“ Which is the surest means of always
leading a.virtuous life 1”
“To begin every morning with prayer,
and concmde every evening with a good
action.**
*‘ Who is truly wise TANARUS” * , „
“ He who does not believe himself so ’
“ Which are the requisites of a good;
wife:!”
“ She should be beautiful as a pea-hen,
gbut.C* as a iamb, prudent as a mouse, just
as a faithful mirror, pure as the scale -J x - a
fish > she must inoU j. n f or h er deceased
. .U-uand like a she camel, and live m her
widowhood like a bird which had lost its
wings/*
The Chan was astonished nt the wisdom*
of the fair K ookju ; enraged at her j
having reproached him with injuries, he
still wished to destroy her.
After a Few days be thought he had
found the means for attaining his object.
He sen t for her and asked her to deter
mine the true worth of all his- treasures—
after which, he promised to absolve hei
from malice in questioning his justice, and
to admit that she intended, as a wise wo
man merely to warn him.
The maiden consented, yet under the
condition that the Chan would promise her
implicit obedience to her commands lor
four days. She requested that he would
eat no food during that time. On the last
day she placed a dish of meat before him,,
uid said, 44 Confess, O Chan ! that all
thy treasures are not worth as much as this
j joint of meat. ’ The Chan was so struck
with the truth of her remark, that he con
fessed the truth of it, acknowledged her
as wise, married her to his son, and per
mitted her constantly to remind him to use
hs Left Eye
Sayings of thh Ancients. In all proba
bility the ladies of ancient times wore far
inferior to the modern, in every feminine
grace and virtue. For, in our times, every
man seems happy and p’eased itr the mar- ;
riage state, and considers his wife a pattern;;
but if we listen to the complaints and pre
cepts of ancient sages, matrimony with them
was but atrial, and a wife an affliction and
a plague,
Socrates used to say, that men ought to
obey the laws, and women ought to con
form to the habits and dispositions of their
husbands, because the husband is a rule for
bis wife. This ungracious remark would
never have eseaped from him, if Xantippe
had not been a scold and somewhat defi
cient in that decorum and decent propriety
of behaviour which is so graceful in the
wedded fair.
It was a remark of Metullus, the Numidi
an, that if we could live without wives, we
should be free from trouble; but alas! it
was so ordered by nature, that we could not
live comfortably with them ; and without
them could not exist at all.
Socrates, being asked by a young man,
whether it were better to marry or live sin
gle, replied 44 Do which you please, you
will be sorry for it. 1 Intimating that the,
choice was not between good and evil; but!
between two evils.
Tbe same person often said, that he had
suffered three evils ; the learning of pram
mar ; poverty; and a bad wife. He had
it last escaped from the former, but there
was no getting rid of a bad wife.
The same person said matrimony was a
net ; the fishes when they are out, wish to
get in ; when they are in, they wish to get
our.
Pratagoras being asked, for what reason
he had given his daughter in marriage to
his enemy, replied that he had nothing
worse to gh e him
It is reported of the Legislator, Phoro
neus, that being on his death-bed he whis
peted to his brother, isl had only lived sin
gle nothing would have been wanting to
my felicity.
As respects Socrates, we cannot but
think he had some cause ffoi* -cauijjlaint,
for certainly his wife drew the reins oT her
government rather tight. For once, when
he had invited a friend to a-supper, Xan
tippe in the midst of the feast rose up ? very
much exasperated at something, and after
scolding at him with a great deal of cla
mour, overset the table. The meekness of
Socrates on this occasion deserves the
highest applause; for observing his friend
sitting with a disturbed countenance, he
merely said, “ What ails Entfiyde
mus? Do not you remember when 1 supped
with you lately, that a hen flew over the
table and overset the cups and saucers *
Atid on another occasion, when Alcibiudes
sent him a large cake, made with all the
science (for every thing is a of
the confectioner, she took it out the bas.-
ket in a rage and trampled it under her
feet. On another occasion she plucked
bis coat oft’, in the public sheet —At this
time his friends were so angry, that they
advised him to box her ears on the spot,
but he told them he did not wish to make
himself a ridiculous spectacle, by con
tending with his wife in public.
Diogenes was of a turn of mind very
different from Socrates : For happening to
see a woman, who had hung herself, sus
pended on an Olive tree, he said he wished
other trees bore such fruit.
hen we turn our eyes towards the pos
sessors of distinguished power & opulence,
so many glittering appendages crowd upon
the imagination, productive ol agreeable
emotion, that we lose sight of the essential
equality of the species, and think less of the
persons themselves than of the artificial
splendour which surrounds them.
Joseph Bonaparte. —Thecitizens line of coaches

late King of Spain, at Bordentown, on the Dela

house is in the French style, but not splendid.—
His lands, on which immense sums have been ex
pended-, are well calculated. - In all public im
provements he contributes liberally—something
like four thousand dollars, lam told he paid on
one road. He is much beloved, and his memory
will be ever dear to the villagers.—There is scarce
ly now a poor family in the village, so many does
he employ on his lands. He pays liberally, punc
tually fulfilling all his contracts, —no law suits—
no disputes, and the intemperate and immoral are
at once discharged. He is constantly in the sea
son-of agriculture, in. the field with his men, and
is generally with an elegant pruning hatchet in
his hand. Strangers who are introduced partake
liberally ofhis hospitality. He has thus exchang
ed a coronet of thorns, for that of a peaceful agri

SYVAIM S PANACEA.
This medicine is offered as a remedy for Scro
fula or King’s Evil, Ulcerated fiorc Ihroat, long
j standing Rheumatic Affections, Cutaneous Dis
eases, White Swelling and Diseases of the Bones,
! and all cases generally of an ulcerous character,
and chronic diseases arising in debilitated consti
tutions, but more especially for Syphilis, or affec
tions arising therefrom. Ulcers of the Larynx,
j Nodes, dec., and-that dreadful disease occasioned
! by a long and use oimerewy, 4'’**
It lias been found to be a most useful spring and
autumn alterative for debilitated persons : it has
also been found useful in Diseases of the Liver.
In all disorders arising from an impure or
contaminated state of the Blood , it will be
found a powerful and an effectual remedy.—
The discovery of this has been the effect of
long and attentive study, and it is now made
public from the mst decided conviction, founded
on anip]>cxperieaee, of its power in eradicating
fhose- diseases, after exefy other medicine has
failed.
It caimot, however, be supposed, that this Pana
cea will invariably cure—the most esteemed me
dicines, employed by the faculty, will often fail,
in the very diseases tor which they are con
sidered specifics; bt if the use of it be persevered
in it will radically iciuove almost every cause of
tlie-disorders specified. Thousands are lingering
under those complaints, in some form, sinking to
the without u remedy, whom this medicine
would certainly restore to perfect health & vigor.
Its safety and innocence have been fully tested
eo that it may be administered to the tenderest
infant. The most distinguished physicians in the
United States recommend it, and *admit, that a
more important disprovery in medical science has
•not been made : and to use tho language of one
of the most eminent Professors of the age, it is a
triumph in the heating vert. To the present and
rising generations the benefit must prove incalcu
lable, not only by saving many valuable lives, but
imparting strength-arid soundness to debilitated &
corrupted constitutions— thereby preserving their
of spring from hereditary diseases . These facts,,
together with the numerous cures made, form ir
resistible proof of She high value of this remedy.
No one, however, is advised to take it, without,
first fully convincing himself of the truth of what
is here stated, and the rectitude of the Proprie
tor’s intentions.
The cures performed m this city alone, establish
its superior virtue on a basis too solid to be affec
ted by the malignity of the envious. It is wor
thy of remark, that? the greater part of the pa
tients who have been permanently cured, had,
previous to the Proprietor’s undertaking them,
received the ablest assistance, and several were
abandoned by their Physicians, as being beyond
the reach of human skill. Sur,fi is the fact and so
extraordinary were many of the cases, that an
exhibition teas made of them in the University of
Pennsylvania, by the Professor of Surgery, be
fore a crowded audience of Students, who pro
nounced them wanders in the healing art. It has
been introduced into the Philadelphia Alms-
House and Pennsylvania and New-York Hos
pitals, and such were its’ surprising effects—its
success after all other medicines had failed, that
the Surgeon of the Pennsylvania. Hospital Dr.
Wm. Prl ce, was induced to abandon his highly J
respectable office, from the laudable design of
benefiting his fellow creatures, by carrying the
Panacea to England; where it has already super
seded the use of the genuine French Rob of La
facteur in a number of instances, in diseases for
which that is intended, and its virtues are public
ly acknowledged by some of the most eminent
surgeons there.
In all complicated cases of Scrofula and Syphi
lis, and where the Syphilitic Virus of the parent
causes a development of Scrofula in the child,
this is the only remedy upon which a single hope
of recovery can be reasonably founded ; there has
been no instance of its failure, where properly
used. It imparts vigour to the whole system
while the cure ingoing on— an operation so long
looked for in medical world ; at the
same time the patient is enabled to take nourish
ing food, which under the common modes *f prac
tice, is usqaily withheld frurq the sufferer. In
many instances, - w here the horrible ravages of
ulceration had laid bare ligament and bone, and
where, to all appearance, no human means but
amputation <fould have saved life, in many cases
extrem©-even\as fiero described, have been snatched
from the grave and restored to good health, and
the devouring disease completely eradicated.
The discovery of a remedy like this now offered
for sale has beep a desideratum from tune imme
morial. 4 :

From Thomas Parke, President of the College oj
Physicians, formerly Physician to the Pennsyl
vania Hospital, 4’C. 4c.
At the request of W. Swaim, I hereby certify
that in the few cases I have seen his Panacea giv
en, I have observed great benefit derived from its
use, and particularly in the case of R. C. Trego- j
maine, tvho was for many years afflicted with
very inveterate ulcers, that were deemed incura
ble by some eminent surgeons, w r ho had attended
her. In this hopeless situation, she was (iu Sep
tember, 1821,) admitted a patient in the Pennsyl
vania Hospital, and had the advice of all the sur
geons of that benevolent institution, without re
ceiving much relief, when she began tjie use of
the Panacea, which, to the surprise of all who wit
nessed its effects, restored her to good health, in a
short time. In October. 1023, she was discharged
from the Hospital, perfectly cured.
From observing the wonderful effects of Swaim's
Panacea in R. C. Tregomaiue's case, and from
several well attested reports of many of our most
eminent surgeons, I am induced to believe it is a
very useful remedy in chronic, syphilitic, mercuri
al and scrofulous complaints.

Having had frequent opportunities of witness

much pleased with the results of its success, parti
cularly in the following diseases, viz. Scrofula,
Syphilitic, and Mercurial diseases. Tumours and
ulcers, where there has been great destruction of
the soft parts, but also Where caries of the bones

From Alexander Knight, Port Physician of Phila
delphia, 4c-
Having witnessed the decided efficacy of the
medicine called Swaim's Panacea in several cases
of inveterate -disease, that had resisted the
usual remedies, justice requires that 1 should give
my testimony in its favour. Among other eases
that have come under my notice those of Mrs.
Hocker, of Kensington, add J. Lambert’s chtfd,*
. are the most worthy of notice. In the former* case
there was extensive ulceration and caries of the
bones of tire face, that was rhpidly extending its
ravages to the nose and palate. In the latter, a
gangrenous ulceration, commencing on the inside
of the cheeky, had extended to the outside, and de*
stroyed a portion of the cheek, and threatened ite
entire destruction. In both these cases, the dis
eases were in a progressive state, although very
active treatment had been used, without benefit;
but were speedily arrested in their progress, and
in a short time perfectly cured by the use of Mr.
Swaim's medicine. ALEX- KNIGHT, M D.

CAUTION TO PURCHASER#.- 4
The great demand and wonderful success of
this medicine, have induced a number of persons
to imitate it in various ways—Some are selling
Sarsaparilla and other syrups, imposing them on
the ignorant for the Panacea ; others are mixing
j thp genuine medicine with molasses, &c., making
! three bottles out of one ; thus retaining some of
its virtues. These invitations and adulterations
have, in many instances, protracted the sufferings
of patients in cases where the gemiiaie medicine
would have proved instantly efficacious. I there
fore deem it a duty 1 owe the public, to acquaint
them, that it is impossible, from the very nature
of its constituents, to be discovered by chemical
analysis - f and consequently, that ail other mix
tures represented to be mine and sold k as such,.
are fraudulent and base impositions, ‘calculated to
deceive the ignorant and tiilwary.—The genuine
medicine has my signature on a label represent

seal.

DR. DEANS PATENT VEGETABLE
RHEUMATIC PILLS:
Prepared by Ezra Dean, Biddeftfrd ; for the dis
covery oj which he obtained a Patent signed
by the President of the United States.
MONG the disorders which I have paid
jLM- particular attention to, is the Rheu
matism, in all its various appearances, this being
a complaint Which much prevails in the District
of Maine, where I reside, and one seemingly lit
tle undetbtood by the faculty (according to their
success in the treatment) so that many become
useless before their days are half expended.
For this disorder, I now* offer the public a safe,
certain and effectual preventive and cure.
Not that I may be understood that all who have
it will or may be cured ; as when the constitution
is broken down, the vital functions impaired, or
the joint dislocated or rendered motionless, and
modus or tumors formed upon them, or the cords
shrunk up and the muscles perished; for these
are desperate cases and cannot always be cured,
but often however, helped by perseverance.
Nor is it to be supposed that cases off many
vears standing, without these effects, can be cur
ed at once, where the habit lias become assimilat
ed to the nature of the complaint, for in those
cases tiie whole habit of the body and quality of
the blood must be changed, which must be the
work of time.
In the rheumatism, I conceive there is an acri
monious state of the blood, which falling in par
ticular upon the parts affected, causes the vari*
ous symptoms -whereby the complaint is. known.
The rheumatism has generally been’ divided
into two kinds, viz the chronic and inflamma
tory.
The chronic frequently succeeds the other, or
rather the chronic remains when the inflamma
tory symptoms subsido. The chronic fe known
by pain, stiffness, Ac. without fever.
The inflammatory by the appeal *nco of fever
with pain, swelling, heat, rednNtfs, tenderness,
sensibility to cold, A.c.
The chronic is apt to last many years, not
unfrequently destroy the use of the parte’ upon
which it falls—this is much the most dilficm* of
cure.
The inflammatory is hardly ever dangerous
while in that state, except it falls on the vitals.
Rheumatic pains may generally be distinguish
ed from other pains, by their being worse in damp
weather, and before a storm, and by their fre
quent change of place.
The back and large joints are most apt to be
affected, the back being often attacked very sud
denly when lifting some email weight. Tins is
called Lumbago.
The hips and shoulders are very liable to it,
frequently lasting many years, sometimes ren
dering them entirely usoless. When in the hipg
it is called Sciatica.
It frequently attacks the head, causing ague*,
tooth aches, sick or nervous head aches, dizzi
ness, coldness, pain, &c.
The neck often experiences its effects.
The stomach frequently is attacked, producing
pains, cramps, Ac. which sometimes prove*
fatal.
The bowels are often attacked causing obstinate
cholics.
The sides likewise are often attacked, causing
pains of long standing.
Scarcely any part of the body is exempt from
it.
Undoubtedly the procuring cause of the Rheu
matism is cold and wet. How t hey operate upon
the body in producing the disorder, whether by
obstructing perspiration, and thereby retaining
something acrimonious, and prejudicial to the
system or other ways, is not material; our busi
ness is to point out how the cause may be avoided,
and the remedies, when it has taken place.
To avoid Rheumatism, therefore, avoid cold
and wet, by guarding the feet with thick shoes or
over thpes, esjieciaiiy if in tho habit of standing
on damp ground, avoid setting iu rooms immedi
ately alter washing, not to cool too suddenly es
pecially wheiLsweatyv
A person does not take oold w hen he is freely at
work, for then the blood is in free motion, by
winch so much heat is generally thrown out, that
the effects of cold and wet applied to the body is
effectually counteracted.
it is when a person leaves off work that he i*
most apt to take cold, by not covering soon
enoiigh ox standing, or sitting, too long after leav
ing work. Rheumatic habits should wear flannel
next the body, and in all damp w eather woolen
stockings, and should as much as possible avoid
wading or wetting in fresh except occa
sionally to bathe, and then the body must be wip
ed perfectly dry before the clothes are put on.
When children are in the habit of being much
in fresh water, they are liable to rheumatic disor
ders, and to have bad sores form in their limbs,
commonly called fever sores, which are of a rheu
matic nature : they frequently affect the bone,
and cause incurable lameness.
The rheumatism as well as many other disor
ders is hereditary, or handed down from parent to
child, and those are much more difficult of cure.
The gout I consider nearly allied, or of the same
nature of the rheumatism ; the same remedies I
have found to answer equally w t oll for both.
Remedies fox the Rheumatism may be divided
into internal and external. As an internal remedy
I recommend these Pills.
It is not to be supposed, that one or two boxe*
is to perform a cure, especially in old cases, or
that after the cure is performed, a person is never
to have it again ; for like causes will always pro
duce like effects in similar circumstances; but
by keeping these Pills by a person and taking a
dose on getting cold and feeling rheumatic pains,
they will most certainly prevent the settling of
them on any particular part of the body.
Os external means many are made ue of per
haps to advantage, but in inflammatory cases it is
of little use untii blood is taken, and the body free
ly opened by the Pills, then an ointment made of
sweet oil 8 parts and 2 parts of camphor made fine
and dissolved in it; then add 2 parts of volatile
spirits, well shook together, and half a table spoon
rubbed on the part twice a day, is the best thing I
ever found.
In cases of the chronic kind where the blood is
cold and stagnant, by taking the pills first to
quicken the blood, more benefit will be found from
bleeding. It is in general as necessary to bleed
in the chronic as the other ; 1 have kid cases
where it has been of many years standing, that I
found, in the course of the cure five or six bleed
i inga to be absolutely necessary. By taking these
pills people wm find bleeding to do thdm more
good, and beaj it better than without them.
Spasms, or cramps will be found to yield to their
operation.. As to spasms, I consider them of th*
nature of the rheumatism, for 1 conceive it to
ariso from the same constitutions, and I have found
tbd same remedies to equally relieve.
Fits of various kinds 1 have known to be perfect-
ly cured by the pills.
The rheumatic pills, which I now offer the pubr
lie for trial, will be found, for common use, the
most safe, effectual and pleasant physic ever offer
ed, being composed entirely of Vegetable materi
als, they do not predispose to take cold like other
physic, may be taken any time, they give an appe
tite, assist digestion and carry off ail crudities from
the stomach. They may be taken by females in
circumstances to great advantage.
If on taking cold a few’ of these pills are taken
on going to bed, they will bo found to operate
kindly the next day, and carry off any bad effects
whicn might have remained of such cold if they
had not been taken.
Families will find by a free use of these pills*
| that one half, at least , of the usual services of tho
1 Physicians may be dispensed with, and at the
same time gel rid of many chronic complaints,
which cause many to drag out.an unhappy life.
