The Last Hours of Professor Webster.
We have kept our readers regularly ad
vised of all the steps in this remarkable case,
and we now extract from the N. Y. Herald
the last chapter of the eventful history:
THE LAST NIGHT.
Professor Webster assured the officers of
the prison that his family were unacquainted
with the da}’ fixed for his execution; and the
fact that they were ignorant of it yesterday,
when he met them for the last time on this
side of the grave, evidently gave him a great
deal of comfort, and no doubt nerved him to
meet his doom. Great pains were taken by
the Sheriff and his deputies to conceal from
Mrs. Webster and her daughters, all evi
dences of the preparations that were being
made last night, for the tragedy which was to
occur at an early hour the next morning.
From the crowd of persons—greater than
usual—who congregated in the street, in
front of the jail, however, I fear they must
have known that the time appointed for the
execution was close at hand. As soon as
they took their departure, the SherifF issued
orders for the erection of the scaffold, and
the work was commenced forthwith. Pro
fessor Webster was then searched, in order
to take from him anything by wliich lie could
commit suicide ; but nothing was found upon
him. He was closely watched last night,
lest he might attempt to take his life; but
there was no necessity for it. He had evi
dently made up his mind to die in pursuance
of his sentence. When informed that he
would be watched by two officers, he re
quested that Mr. J. C. Leighton, the clerk of
the jail, and officer Edward J. Jones, who
had ciiarge of him during the trial, might be
the persons appointed, ii is request was at
tended to, and those gentlemen accordingly
took their posts, and remained in his cell till
he was taken to the scaffold. During the
night he conversed freely with those officers,
and read the Bible diligently and earnestly
till about twelve o’clock, when he felt wearied
and laid down on his cot to take his last
sleep. At about half-past four o’clock this
morning ho awoke and appeared much re
freshed by his repose. He then prayed audi
bly ; and from what I have heard, there is no
doubt that he was extremely penitent, and
alluded to his approaching execution. He
ate a light breakfast, and seemed prepared to
meet his fate. While conversing on the sub
ject of his execution, and during his medita
tions, he exclaimed,in an impressive manner:
“ If it be possible, let this cup pass from me;
yet not my will, but Thine, O Lord, he done!”
He smoked a segar, too, I believe; but, lest
any wrong impressions should be formed
from the circumstance, I will say that he was
addicted to the use of tobacco in that form,
and was not comfortable unless he had a
segar in his mouth, lighted or unlighted. At
about dusk in the evening, a wagon, contain
ing materials for the scaffold, entered the
jail yard, and from the close proximity of the
entrance to his cell, he must have known the
object of the movement.
TIIE LAST MORNING.
At seven o’clock, I proceeded to the Lev
erett street jail, and, on arriving there, found
the carpenters employed in erecting the scaf
fold. There were not more than two hund
red persons in the street opposite the jail, nor
more than fifty in the jail yard at that time.
Eight o’clock. —At this hour, the whole
police selected for the occasion was in atten
dance, consisting of one hundred and twenty
four men. Here and there, in the yard, I ob
served deputy sheriffs with their swords, (the
handles of which were covered with crape,)
some police officers, and about one hundred
spectators. All eyes were directed to the
scaffold in the centre of the jail yard, and
particularly to the rope with the noose at the
end. The rear of the houses in Lowell street
looked into the jail yard, and the windows
and roofs of some of them were packed with
persons of both sexes, and of all ages. It
grieved me to see ladies and young girls mani
fest their morbid curiosity in this way. lam
happy in being able to say, however, that
three of those houses were shut by the occu
pants, who went out of town, rather than
witness the execution, or he in the vicinity of
the place when these solemn preparations
were being made, and where a fellow being
was to expiate his crimes by a violent death.
The witnesses to the execution, a certain
number of whom were summoned by the
Sheriff, in accordance with the law, arrived
and took their seats in the office of the jailor.
The condemned, and the Rev. Dr. Putnam,
were at this time conversing on religious sub
jects. The number of spectators increased,
and they momentarily expected to see the
Professor come forth to be executed.
THE LAST IIOrR.
The Sheriff and his aids visited the con
demned, and informed him that in a few min
utes, they would be called upon to discharge
their sad duty. Professor Webster informed
them that he was ready, and awaited their
summons. He thanked them individually
and collectively for the kindness and atten
tion extended to him during his imprisonment.
The Sheriff informed the witnesses above
referred to that their sad duty was about to
commence, and requested them to accompany
him to the jail. They walked arm in arm,
followed by the reporters for the press, and
spectators, into the corridors of the jail, and
to the door of Professor’s Webster’s cell,
which was thrown open. The Rev. Mr. Put
nam, then, in the presence of all assembled,
Professor Webster being on his knees, offered
a prayer to the throne of Grace in behalf of
the unfortunate culprit.
When the religious services were conclud
ed, the spectators who were invited in to hear
it, returned to the jail yard. Dr. Webster
was then piuioned, and a procession formed of
the witnesses, preceded by the Sheriff, with a
cocked hat, and sword attached to his side.
The Sheriff directed the witnesses where to
take their places. He then ascended the
scaffold for the purpose of seeing that nothing
was left undone.
Half-vast xtne. — The Sheriff retired from
the scaffold, satisfied that the arrangements
for the execution were complete, and proceed
ed to the cell of Professor Webster to inform
him that liis time was up.
Twenty-five minutes to ten o’clock.—
Everything being ready for the execution,
Professor Webster’s arms were pinioned,
and he was directed to take liis place in the
melancholy procession which was being form
ed. He did so. The High Sheriff’ led the
way, followed by the jailor and turnkeys of
Leverett street jail. Next came Professor
“Webster, supported by the Rev. Mr. Putnam,
whom the unfortunate man requested to stay
with him to the last moment, and constables
Dexter and Easterbrook. Professor Webster
walked firmly but dejectedly to the scaffold,
amid the most profound silence. His step
was firm, and his countenance betrayed no
emotion. He looked at the ground, and was
apparently resigned to the doom which await
ed him. He was dressed in a plain suit of
black, but had no neckcloth. His frock coat
was buttoned the greater part of the wav.
Twenty-thkee minutes to ten.— The
procession reached the scaffold, and the con
demned was motioned to place himself direct
ly under the rope, which he did accordingly.
Twenty-two xinutes to ten o’clock.—
The Sheriff read the warrant for the execu
tion of John W. Webster for the crime of
murder. While ho was doing so, the con
demned and the Rev. Dr. Putnam were earn
estly engaged in conversation, the former re
peatedly acquiescing in what the clergyman
said. He then shook hands with Dr. Putnam,
and the officers commenced their sad duties.
TIIE LAST MINUTES.
Twenty-one minutts to ten o’clock.—
Prof. Webster was requested to take a seat on
a chair, so that his legs might be confined.
The Deputy Sheriff then strapped them.
Prof. Webster’s legs having been fastened,
the Sheriff took leave of the unfortunate man.
Prof. Webster convulsively shook the Sheriff’s
hand, and retained it in liis for a few seconds,
but did not speak.
Eighteen minutes to tf.n o’clock.—
The rope is placed round Professor Webster’s
neck, and the black cap put on. An intense
feeling is manifested by the spectators.
Seventeen minutes to ten o’clock.—
The Sheriff, addressing the people assembled,
speaks as follows, holding in his hand the war
rant of execution:—
“ In the name of the Commonwealth of Massa
chusetts, and of the good people thereof. I now
proceed to execute the orders contained in this
death warrant.”
THE EXECUTION.
The Sheriff then turned round, faced the
prisoner, took a single step, placed his foot
on a spring—the part of the platform on
which Professor Webster fell, and the unfor
tunate man was hanging by the neck. The
fall was about eight feet, and, to appearances,
his neck was dislocated. He struggled but
little, and evidently suffered no pain. The
only evidence of the death struggle, which
he manifested, was a si ight convulsive move
ment of the legs, which were partially drawn
up for an instant. In loss than four minutes
all signs of life were extinct, and Professor
Webster was in the other world, there, we
trust, to receive forgiveness for his crime.
After remaining suspended just half an
hour, Drs. Ilenry G. Chirk and Charles 11.
Stedman examined the body, and informing
the Sheriff that life was extinct, that officer
so declared it to the legal w itnesses and spec
tators, and at the same time thanked the wit
nesses, in the name of the commonwealth, for
attending and aiding the officers of the law
in the painful duty which had just been per
formed.
A pine coffin, painted black, was then
placed beneath the body. The corpse was
lowered, the rope removed from the neck, the
lid of the coffin was nailed down, and the
body was then removed to the cell which
Professor Webster recently occupied, accord
ing to the Professor’s express desire. It will
remain there till evening, and then be deliver
ed to the friends of the unfortunate criminal.
While living, Professor Webster enjoined
the Sheriff* not to permit any person to look
at liis remains while they were in the jail. 1
understand that late in the evening the body
will be taken to Cambridge, where arrange
ments will be made for the funeral, which will
take place on Sunday next. The body will
be deposited in the family vault, at Mount
Auburn, one of the most beautiful cemeteries
in the world. Everything connected with the
funeral was arranged by Professor Webster
himself.
CONCLUSION.
I am informed that Mrs. Win. 11. Prescott,
a near relative of Mrs. Webster, will dine
with the famil y of the late Prof. Webster this
afternoon, and afterwards break to her and
her daughters the melancholy intelligence
that iier husband and their father is no more.
This conflicts with what I have stated in the
beginning of this letter, that Professor Web
ster’s family will call at the jail on Thursday
next, as usual, for the purpose of seeing him.
I give you the report notwithstanding.
The crime for which Professor Webster
suffered was committed on the 23d of Nov.
1849. He was arrested on the 30th day of
November, and lias thus been in confinement
for nine months.
Professor Webster was in the fifty-sixth
year of his age.
Immediately after the execution took placo
I was informed that Professor Webster was
interrogated, shortly before the execution, as
to whether he wished to make any further
confession. In reply, he said that lie did not;
that the last confession was true, and that he
could not add to nor subtract from it. He
died, therefore, with the assertion that the
killing of Dr. Park man was not premedita
ted—that in a moment of passion he struck
him with a piece, of grape vine—that death
was the result, and that for the purpose of
concealing the act, he attempted to dispose
of the body in the manner specified.
Mahomed’s Preaching.
His definition of charity embraced the
wide circle of kindness. “ Every good act,”
he would say, “is charity. \ our smiling in
vour brother’s face is charity; an exhortation
to your fellow man to virtuous deeds, is equal
to almsgiving; your putting a wanderer
in the right road is charity ; your assisting
the blind is charity; your removing stones
and thorns and other obstruction from the
road is charity; your giving water to the
thirsty is charity. A man’s true wealth here
after is the good he does in this world to his
fellow man. When he dies, poor people will
say ‘ What property has he left behind him ?’
But the angels who examine him at the grave
will ask, * What good deeds hast thou sent
before thee!”’— Washington Irving’s Life of
Mahomed.
A Scotchman and an Irishman were travel
ling together. The Scotchman was bald;
and for a joke, ho rose in the night and shav
ed his companion’s head, while he was asleep.
The Irishman had given orders to his land
lord to wake him early. He did so —the
fellow arose and discovering his bald head in
a glass, exclaimed:
“By the powers! I told ye to waken me,
but, instead of that, ye was after calling up
the Scotchman. I’m niver to be chated in
this way, faith.” So saying he went to bed
again.
“ Tom, yon sot,” said a temperance man
to a tippling friend, “ what makes you drink
such stuff” as you do? hy, the very hogs
wouldn’t touch that brandy.”
“ That's ’cause they is brutes,” said Tom.—
“Poor ereeturs! they donno what’s good.”
“ Honse, what’s the matter?”
“ Mine Cot, the sorrel wagon has run away

Mine Cot, what a beeples!

the street a few days since, ringing a bell.—
“Lost betwane twaive o’clock and McKin

CELEBBATED
RHEUMATIC LINIMENT.
In introducing this medicine to the people of the Unit
ed States,, for sale, the proprietors beg leave to submit
the following statement of Dr. de Grafienried, its discov
erer and inventor:
The undersigned frankly states that ho has prescribed
this medicine for the last twenty-two years, in all forms
of Acute and Chronic Rheumatism, with a success un
paralleled in the annals of medicine ; and he has no hes
itation in saying,, that it is decidedlvtho most valuable
remedy ever yet discovered lor the relict of this most pain
ful and distressing malady.
His note-book contains upwards of three hundred ca
ses, in which it has been used within the above named
period,and in no single instance has it come to his knowl
edge, of its having failed to effect a cure when perse reved
in. M any of the cases were from four to ten years stand
ing ; and what may appear yet more remarkable and ex
traordinary, is, that when the patient ha* been once re
lieved, the disease is permanently cured, remains so, not
a solitary instance having teen reported to him of its re
tum.
All ho would ask for this remedy is a fair, impar
tial and patient trial, for the results ho entertains no *p
prehension.
Up to the time of this discovery, tho undersigned had
well studied the origin, progress, and character ol this dis
case,and is well assured, had consulted svery author on
its treatment, who had written or been translated into
the English language, and had used all the remedies of
any notoriety then in vogue with the profession, with
however, very rarely any relief to poor suffering hu
manity.
It hasbafflod the skill and science of the most eminent
Physicians and Surgeons of our own, and ol every other
country. But the undersigned flatters himself that his
remedy will cure this most painful disease, when all oth
ers have failed, and that lie shall have been an humble in
strument in the hands of God, of relieving the huma*
family of a vast amount ofsuffering.

Jove's Hotel, Philadelphia, March 3d 1850
Col. A. B. Kagan —Sir It affords me great pleasure
to be able to hear testimony to the efficacy and virtues
of Dr. dc Graffenrieds Rheumatic Liniment.
I have been sorely afflicted for the last six years with,
what I believed to be, and what eminent Physicians of
this city pronounced, Rheumatic gout,for several winters
pastl have been confined to my room and bed nearly all
the time. In January last. I had an attack as violent if
not more so than usual, which prostrated mo for about
three weeks; on your reccommendation 1 commenced
the use of this Liniment. (With I must confess but little
faith). Its effects were astonishing and decidedly bene
ficial from its first application. In a few days my back,
wrists ancles were entirely relieved (and so contin
ue) of all soreness, pains, and tho swelling’s reduced,
with the use of less than one bottle. I have been in. tho
discharge of my ordinary business ever since.
I consider it an extraordinary, and decidedly the most
efficacious remedy for this disease which 1 have ever met
with. And most cheerfully recommend its use to all
who may be afflicted with it.
Respectfully Yours, N. W. BRIDGES.

Baltimore March, 30 1350.
Dr. de Graffenried — Dear Sir ; For the last twelve
rears I have suffered very severely with the Rheumatism,
having been nearly one fourth of the time confined to
my bed by it. I have had the best medical aid to be
found in various cities in the United States, with little
or no benefit. I have also tried innumerable strongly
recommended remedies, which have, failed to effect a
cure. I spent the last summer at the White Sulphur and
Hot Springs in Virginia, to little purpose. After my return
homo, I so far recovered, as to be able to walk about a lit
tle.. About six weeks since, 1 had a very severe attack
which again confined me to my bed, I was in great pain
and scarely able to move my limbs, when a friend of
mine called and informed me that you had discovered
an infallible remedy, and had cured many, and amongst
them, one of my friends, and showed mo a letter from
him stating the fact. I was induced to try your Rheu
matic Linainent, and take pleasure in infomiinig you that
in less than twenty four hours from the first application
I was perfectly free from pain, and continue so, up to
this time. lam now able to attend to business, and

Dr. De Graffenried—Dear Sir : I take pleasure in giv
ing you the particulars of my affliction by, and relicffrom
Rheumatism. During the spring 0f1844 1 was afflicted
with a very severe attack of Inflammatory Rheumatism.
I employed all the most celebrated remedies then known
and used in similar cases,aided by medical advice,until
September, 1845, with no satisfactory result whatever.
I was then induced, hy a rheumatic acquaintance, to try
your Liniment, as something new, and which had cured
him ; and in one month, from the time I commenced the
application, I was well, and clear of the Rheumatism as
1 ever was, and have continued no to this time.
Yours, truly, L. C. MORTON.
FROM COL. A. K. AYER.
Dr. E. L. de Graffenried—Learning that you are about
to manufacture for the public, your valuable Rheumatic
Liniment, I take pleasure in stating that I believe it
one of the moat valuable remedies ever used for that
common and most distressing disease, having witnessed
its effects upon a negro man of mine, who had been Af
flicted for foul years, until almost every joint was en
larged, and the body otherwise emaciated. By the use
of four or five bottles, in three weeks ho was relieved en
tirely from pain

Columbus, October 30, 1849.
Dear Sir—About the first of April last, I came to Co
lumbus to get medical assistance, and was advised to
call on you, as having a remcly that would afford mo
speedy relief. I was taken down in January last, with
a violent attack of Rheumatism in nearly all my joints
so badly, that I could not pull of my shoes without aid ;
nor could I ascend or descend steps, or pull off my
clothes without assistance. My right ann and hand
were nearly useless ; the fingers contracted and swollen;
the right knee swollen and stiffened, so that I could not
bend it but verv little. Up to the Ist of April, I was all
the time in suffering and pain ; I rubbed with your Rheu
matic Liniment my limbs three times, and was the next
morning enabled to descend a long fight of steps, with
out aid of crutch or stick, and back to my room—l could
also bend my knee and bring it up to the chair, which
the previous day, I could not have done if my life had de
pended on it. 1 could also u.-e. open and bond my fing
ers, wich was an imbossibility the clay before. I rose in
the morning from my bed entirely relieved of pain. I
used one bottle and an eight ounce vial of your Rheu
matic Liniment, and in ten days, I was relieved. I
would not have been in the condition which I had been,
ten days before I called on you, for any amout of money
which could bo given me ; for what is life worth when
in constant pain and misery ! I consider your Rheumat
ic Liniment, the most valuable medicine in the world. I
am, dear *ir, your friend.

Dear Sir — My negro woman Patience, a cook, had a
stiifi'neck from a painful Rheumatic affection, for six or
seven years, and could not turn her neck except with the
body. I was induced to purchase a bottle of your Lin
iment, which was applied in August or September of
1818. One bottle entirely relieved her and she now has
the use of her neck as well as ever she had ; and up to
this time, it has not returned.

Dr. de GrafTenried—Dear Sir: Having been afflicted,
for some time past, with a severe attack of Rheumatism,
and having heard of the wonderful effects of your Rheu
matic Liniment, I was induced to try a bottle of it: and
after three days, I was so much relieved as to be able to
leave the hou-e and attend to business. I have perfect
ly recovered from tiie disease, and would cheerfully re
commend the Liniment to all those who are afflicted,
GEORGE HOOD, 27 Powell street.
Columbus Ga., Oct. 13,1349.
Dr. E. L do GrafTenried —Dear Sir: Agreeable to
your request, I give m v testimonial as to the virtue of
your Liniment in the cure of Rheumatism. Being at
tacked in one joint of my finger, last winter, with acute
Rheumatism, and haying used many of the unnumbered
prescriptions for its cure, with hut little benefit, I made
application of two bottles of your Liniment, which I am
happy to sav relieved me in a very short time. I can re
commend its use to all persons affected in like manner.
Very respectfully, F. S CHAPMAN.
I can testify to the efficacy of Dr. de Graffenried’s
Rheumatic Liniment in the case of Mr. F. S. Chapman,
as it came under mv immediate observation.
October 13,1349. R. A. WARE, M. D.
Dear Sir—Some time in Jauary la*t, Mrs. McKee
was taken very ill with Inflammatory Rheumatism in her
shoulder joints, extending to her elbow joint and
arm, which disabled her from using her arm almost en
tirely ; and from the pain, want of sleep, and great rest
lessness, for not less than six weeks, I was induced by
my friend, Mr. Luke Reed, to cal! on you for a bot
tle of your Liniment, and by u=ing half the bottle, she
was entirely relieved, and the relief was manifest or sen
sible after three or four rubbings. lam of opinion, it is
one of the most valuable remedies that has ever been dis
covered, for Rheumatism: that is, from my own knowl
edge, and that which I have heard from others.
Dr. E. L. de Graffearied. 11. C. McKEE.
Columbus, Oct. 19th 1849
Dr. de GrafTenried—Dear Sir : Itake pleasure in sav
ing, I have a boy who was so badly afflicted with Rheu
matism, that he could not raise his hand to his head, and
had nearl y lost the use of his arm. I used the fourth of
a bottle of your Rheumatic Liniment, which relieved
him entirely. I consider it a most valuable remedy for
the cure of Rheumatism.

CELEBRATED GERMAN BITTERS,
PRIPARID BY
DR. C. M. JACKSON,
GERMAN MEDICINE STORE,
No. 120, Arch St., Philadelphia.
Their power over the above ditcaeet it not excell
ed, if equalled, by any other preparation in the
United State*, at the curet alteti , in many catet
after skilful physicians had failed.
These Bitters are worthy ttie attention of invalids.—
Possessing great virtues in therectiiication of diseases of
the Liver and lesser glands, exercising the most search
ing powers in weakness and affections of the digestive
organs, they are, withal, safe, certain and pleasant.
Read and he Convinced.
Chas. Robinson, Esq., Easton, Md., in a letter to Dr.
Jackson, Jan. 9, 1850, said—
“My wife and myself have received more hanfit from
your medicine than any ether we have ever taken for the
Dyspepsia and Liver disease.’’
“The Tenth Legion,” published at Woodstock, Va.,
January 10, 1850, said—
“A Great Medicine
“We have uniformly refrained from recommending to
the public any of the various patent medicines of the
day, unless thoroughly convinced of their value. —
Among those we consider worthy of notice is the
German Bitters, invented by Dr. Ilooiland, and
prepared by Dr. Jackson, in Philadelphia. One in
stance in particular, in which the superior virtues
of this medicine have been tested, has fallen under
our observation. During th* last summer, a son of
.Mr. Abraham Crahill, of this county, was very se
riously afflicted with Liver Complaint, and after trying
in vain various remedies, he purchased a bottle of the
Bitters, and after using it, was so much relieved of
liis distressing malady, that he procured another bot
tle, and is restored entirely to health.”
Read Farther a Fete Facts.
The “Philadelphia Democrat,” the leading Ger
man journal of Philadelphia. The editor said, No
vember 24th :
“We again call attention to the removal of th*.
German Medicine Store, the principal depot for the
sale of Dr. Hoofland's German Bitters, from 278
Race to 120 Arch street, one door below Sixth.—
Owing to the increased demand for this medicine,
and for the accommodation of his numerous patients,
Dr. Jackson has been compelled to occupy a larger
store. We wish him success in his new quarters ;
ho is deserving it The Bitters Mixture is without,
doubt the greatest medicine extant for diseases of the
Liver and Bowels. A stubborn case of Chronic
Diarrhoea has come under our notice, wherein the
patient had exhausted the Materia Medieas of the
different schools of medicine with no apparent benefit,
lie was induced to use these bitters, and a few bottles
of them have entirely cured him. Many such eases
we could refer to. Wo hope our readers will recol
lect this great restorative, should they be so unfortu
nate as to require its use. Dr. Jackson possesses the
original unpublished receipt of Dr. Iloofland, and
lie prepares this medicine with care. Those pur
chasing should call at bis store, or see that his name
is written upon the wrapper outside, and blown in the
bottle, as imitations of good articles arc common.”
Judge M. M. Noah, a gentleman with great sci
entific and literary attainments, said in his “New
York Weekly Messenger,” January 6, 1850;
u Dr. Hoofland's German Bitters. —Here is a pre
paration which the loading presses in the Union ap
pear to be unanimous in recoinending, and the rea
son is obvious. It is made after a prescription furnished
by one of the most celebrated physicians of modern
times, the late Dr. Christopher Wilhelm Hoofiand.
Professor to the University of Jena, Private Physician
to the Kingof Prussia, and one of the greatest medi
cal writers Germany has ever produced. lie was
emphatically the enemy of humbug, and therefore a
medicine of which he was the inventor and endorser
may be perfectly relied on. lie specially recommend
ed it in Liver Complaint,Dyspepsia, Debility, Vertigo,
Acidity of the Stomach, Constipation, and all com
plaints arising from a disordered condition of the
stomach, the liver and the intestines. Nine Phila
delphia papers express their conviction of its excel
lence, and several of the editors speak of its effects
from their own individual experience. Under these
circumstances, we feel warranted not only in calling
the attention of our readers to the present proprietor’s
(Dr. C. M. Jackson’s) preparation, but in recom
mending the article to all afflicted.”
More Evidence.
The “Philadelphia Saturday Gazette,” the best
family newspaper published in the United States, the
editor says of
DR. HOOFLAND’S GERMAN BITTERS. j
“ It is seldom that we recommend what are termed
Patent Medicines to the confidence and patronage of
our readers: and, therefore, when we recommend Dr.
Hoofland’s German Bitters, we wish it to be distinct
ly understood that we are not speaking of the nos
trums of the day that are noised about for a brief period
and then forgotten after they have done their guility
race of mischief, but of a medicine long established, j
universally prized, and which has met the hearty ap
proval of the Faculty itself.”
Evidence upon evidence has been received (like
the foregoing) from all sections of the Union, the last
three years, and the strongest testimony in its favor
is, that there is more of it used in the practice of the
regular Physicians of Philadelphia than all other nos
trums combined, a fact that can easily be established,
and fully proving that a scientific preparation will
meet with their quiet approval when presented even
in this form.
That this medicine will cure Liver Complaint and
Dyspepsia, no one can doubt, after using it as direct
ed. It acts specifically upon the stomach and liver—
it is preferable to calomel in all bilious diseases —the
effect is immediate. They can be administered to
female or istamt with safety and reliable benefit, at
any time.
Beware of Counterfeits.
This medicine has attained that high character ■
which is necessary for all medicines to attain to in- !
dace counterfeiters to put forth a spurious article at i
the risk of the lives of those who are innocently de- ■
ceived.
Look well to the Marks of the Genuine, j
They have the written signature of C. M. JACK- I
SON upon the wrapper, and the name blown in the
bottle, without which they arc spurious.

The Faculties, for intellectual abilities, moral worth
and professional acquirements, will compare favorably
with the most distinguished in our country. The medi
cal faculty constitutes an anomaly in this or any other
country—all of them are able lecturers and the best ol
teacher*.
Those who contemplate our geographical position,
and the extent of our population, can have no doubt a*
to the eligibility of our situation for an enterprise of tho
kind. As to health, including all seasons of the year,
we deny that any other city has more.
A common error exists in the minds of many students
relative to the place of studying medicines; those who
intend practicing among the diseases of the West and
South should certainly educate themselves at a school
whose Faculty are particularly acquainted with those
diseases.
That the public may be satisfied of the permanency ol
! this school, we feel it our duty to state, that the Trus
tees and Faculty form a unit in action, which augurs
well for its future success ; and that the peculiar internal
organization which connects them, cannot be interrupted.
