j A paitof the law of New York, as late
ly revised and leforined by the legislature,
is the establishment of anew system of
weights and measures, which bids fair to
produce great confusion in the commercial
transactions of that state, and of the coun
! try. ■ Iu the zeal of the revisors to “reclaim
; the lights” of which the states “have been
! divested bv construction, ’ the power of the
1 United States {too long neglected to be fully
j exercised) over this subject seems to have
Keen overlooked, and, a* far as we can un
ci rstatid from the newspaper discussions, a
n tv set of measures introduced, different
I f.om that used in the custom-houses, and in
1 all the other states of the Union, as well as
[of Europe, has been introduced. By the
new system, a writer in the Albany papers
says, a gallon is to hold nearly five of the

meaMires. Hopes are entertained, that,

ject in hand, the next legislature will re

Markets —We learn from Niles’s Regis
ter, that i lie number of wagons and carts
attending the centre market of Baltimore,
as counted by the clerk of the market, on
the 17th instant, was—.if wagons, 269; of
carts, 301. “A e are reminded, by this slate
men:, of the rapidly increasing intercourse
of this description between the centre mar
ket and its vicinity, in this city Yester- j
day, for example, the number of carts and i
w igons was so great as to block up, for a
time, the whole market space, and nearly
all the streets leading to it. We have never
before remarked here so great a bustle of

A curious memorial has been received
bv the President of Tie Senate from a Mr.

for the purpose of resuming his temporal

his people together. He cajjs upon con

thousand dollars per annum, •„ suable him j
to discharge Ins high funcirtas as temporal j
governor of the world, and hopes that the |
members will each transmit him a ten dol- •
Tar note, and frank it. The maduess of
some men is sometimes laughable, Hut this
man’s -s shocking. We should hope that
no member will be found wild enough to
introduce his petition.— Wash. Ckron .
The Brig Packet. -In the Gazette of
the 16 n install,, we copied a paragraph
from , Havre paper, stating that a Dutch
brig had arrived ?i Dunkirk on the 20th of
October, and bright in one of the crew of
the brig Packet, Taylor, on her passage
f,om St. Petersburg for Providence. The
account stated that the n> <n was taken from
the wreck of the brig. We at the time ex
pressed our doubts as to truth, as we bad
a few days before given an account of
th'’ loss of the brig Packet, Taylor, on
N .riluck: s ?* and that ::li on board had per
is : •<! except she mate. e have since re
ceivod, y the ’ in Byrnes, London .Top
ping LVs to ihn 6th of November. The
list • i the 1 liter lute gives the same Mrcmini
under ute Pu b, head of the 3d, wiT this
diflereuce, tfiai the man is said to have been
taken from n piece of the wreck. We
h.ve carefuflv examined our Lloyds and
shij)pi:ig hst?, but cannot find the arrival of
i th- D i!< S vessel at Dunkirk, in any of them.
• ‘f uk gubyeci aopears aivo to'have attracted
tho atlenti ui o! .he Boston editors, who
look upon it as a singular ciicumstanstance.
i It is so, most assuredly, and tire only way
we can account fen Jl2 paragraph in the
Frem h papers is, that a man have been
picked up by he Dutch vessel, who bad
fallen overboard from the Packet, and sup
. purled himself on a spar, and owing to
; their not understanding tin*English language,
they have come to the conclusion, and so
reported it, that the vessel was wrecked.—
Tho mtrte of the Packet can probably uu
ravel the mystery. Will some of the East
ern editors endeavor to see him ? The
iriH'tcr is certainly worth enquiring into.—

Po ato Barino. —Trie farina obtained
from potatoes is now an article of commerce
ip Scotland, where very fine samples of it
are brought to market It is stated to be
qpite equal to genuine arrow root, and is
sold at about half the price of that prepara
tion. Mixed with wheaten flour ifi the
proportion of one third, it is a great im
provement to household oread, and is light
\of digestion. Sir John Slitclair’s mode of
| preparing the farina is perhaps generally
known; but the following short account of
the process for domestic use may not be
uninteresting: Into*a pail of clean water
place a fine colander or coaise sieve, so
that it may be two ittehes in the water—
grate the potatoes, vvheu pared, into the co
lander, taking care from time to time to
agitate the pulp in the colander so that the
farina may fall to the bottom of the pail.—
| When the fibrous part which remains in
the colander, or sieve, has accumulated so
’ as to impede the washing of the farina into
j the.pail, remove it. About one gallon of
j potatoes is sufficient for a pail of water
After the water lias remained in an undis
: turbed state for 12 hours, pour it oft’ the
farina will be in a cake at the bottom. It
is to be dried slowly before the fire, being
rubbed occasionally between the hands, to
prevent its becoming lumpy, and it is then
fit for use. The French prepare an ex
tract from the apple in the same way; but
this is expensive, as the faranaceous part of
the apply is very small.

‘r I#- /,- l*uyn°yti f N. J. Nor. 15,1888
To William Swann, Philadelphia.
Dear Sir Although I consider the reputation
of your ‘ Piuacea” to be too well established to
need further encomium, yet, for the benefit of
suffering humanity, I am induced tu send you an
account of tho case of Mrs. Mason, of this place
who has been cured*of a dreadful attkek of Scro
fula, and raised from a state of utter hopelessness
and misery, to the enjoyment of perfect health
by the use of a sow bottles of your “ Panarea ’’
Mrs. Mason is about 29 years years of ijtp
y™ always enjoyed gl^heaUh
About this time her health began to fail, and she
observed tumours to be forming on the breasts and
ower extremities. On ono leg they rather ap
peared like nodes on the bones/ These tumoure,
flafn!T e r e ’ in Ti Sed rapidl y> Highly in
flamed, and caused the patient the most excrucia
ting pam. I h e y soo n h ega „ to run, ams eventu
ally became deep ulcers of a very malignant
aspect. The disease made its most violent attack
on the breasts and one leg of the patient. Medi
cal aid was now Resorted to, with what effect the
sequel wdl show. By continued mercuriaHreat
ment, the ulcers, afler a considerable time, healed*.
and though the general health of the patient con
lj“ u ® and p s l>r £? t th e medical attendant pronounced!
her cured. The affected parts still presented the*
appearance of a high inflamation, and in a short
lme the uiscase, which was only shut up in the*
system, burst forth with redoubled violence. About
this tune, (now the summer of 1826,) Mrs Msunn
gave birth to a son, heir to all his mother’s
ings. Language is too meagre to give vou an
idea of this child’s appearance ; from head foot
he was one running sore ; his head and face were*
one continuous scab, and the mouth and throat
were equally affected with the exterior surface—
the muscles of the arms and legs became ricid
P?® . . ost th® use of one arm and leg. The
ahysician declared that it was impossible for him
to live ; however the mercurial treatment, in the*
end dried up the sores, but failed completely in*
eradicating the disease it had inherited from the
A? r ’ Ke f rn y Blin continued to prescribe
for Mrs. Mason, but with no permanent success.
Ihe disease had now attacked the patient’s sane
a large scarlet tumour made its appearance on the
| forehead, anu'soon extended to the nose, occupy
ing the space between the inner corner of eacfo
I eye. The same powerful external applications
I were directed against this tumour, but without
! any success, and, like the others, it soon commen
ced running. The state of suffering to which the
patient was reduced, would baffle the powers of
| language to describe. The’ disease had now so*
completely baffled the skill of the medical attend
ant, that in the winter of 1827 his visits were dial
t continued, from a thorough conviction, as he him?
self declared to me, that Mrs. Mason was incurable
i the same time > he acknowledged that
! Svvaim s 1 anacea” might help her. The patien
had* for some time complained of a tingling pain
along the bones of the leg, * sure imficatiofi of’
caries, and Dr. K. thought that amputation would
be necessary, ft was at this crisis that I wrote
to you, informing:* yon of the situation of Mrs.
Mason, and her inability to purchaselhe medichio,
when you sent her some, and generously under
took to supply the medicine until a cure should be
effected, the patient immediately comnienced
takirnr the ** Panacea,” and I narrowly watched
its effects upon the disease. Although J was thor
oughly convinced of the powerful efficacy of the
“ Panacea,” m overcoming scrofulous complaints-.
yet my faith was at first somewhat staggered.
i his was a case of such peculiar obsliiiacy and’
violence, jt had completely baffled prescriptions
that were considered the dernier resort of medical
science, and set at defiance the whole materia
medica. The first bottle was taken, without much
apparent benefit, except a slight diminution of
pain, and a softening of the edges of the ulcers.
Before the second bottle was taken, the benefits
were very apparent; the ulcers were healing ra-
P.*~ t * ie ln 6 a raation had in a great measure sub
sided, the patient's appetite improved, and she once
more enjoyed the luxury of sleeping well at night,
i he patient continued the use of the “ Panacea,”
and the cure now progressed very rapidly ; the
ulcerous tumour on the face was arrested, which,
but for the virtues of the “ Panacea,” must have
soon destroyed the nose. When the fourth bot
tle had been taken, the disease was completely
eradicated ; the tumour on the lace had disappear
afo and fortunately without leaving any scar ; the
i'ulcers had healed, and Mrs Mason was restored,
to her wonted health and spirits—an event which
was viewed with astonishment by all who were
acquainted with her horrid sufferings.
As you had directed, the “ Panacea” was given*
to the child, and with the same happy result as in
the mother’s case ; giving another proof of the
powers of your medicine in overcoming hereditary*’
complaints, feix months have now elapsed since
this cure was effected, and Mrs. Mason and hep’
child continue to tfhjoy fine health, j wish you to
have this case puDlished, in hopes that it may
meet the eye of some sufferer from scrofula, who
may be encouraged thereby to apply for relief
where it mav be found.
With sentiments of the warmest respect, I re
main respectfully your’s,

REMARKS: .
Nothing could more decidedly illustrate the
character of Swaim’s Panacea than the history
of this case. T here can be no doubt that the
child suffered an hereditary taint from the mother
and there are no kinds of disease more difficult to
manage, nor any that more frequently disappoint
the practitioner, than those which depend upon a.
constitutional taint, derived from the parent
the patient.
We have, in these cases, the testimony of a
| highly respectable individ lal relative to the awfor
nature of the disease and happy effects of tho
Panacea, aftep other remedies had been tried it
vain. Irt these cases we again see the tendency
of this medicine to purify the blond ; for that the
bfood was in a depraved state* in these instances
seems to be demonstrated by the fact that the
disease was communicated by the mother to the
child either in utcro, or by her milk. If in the
ormer w 7 ay, it must have been communicated
through the blood ; for there being no direct ne?
vous communication between the mother and tho
foetus, no disease can be sympathetically commu
nicated from the former to the latter. If tire
ch-ld’s disease was . ontracted from the mothcr’o
rml ; * ’ Ult ® evident that the blood of the*
moL ‘ nave been couianimated,
