Italian Lotion or Tincture of
Pearls
F OR Improving, preserving and beautify
ing tho Complexion.—This admirublc
compound ha9 stood the best, of all tests (that
of experience) aod proved itself the most ef
fectual and vahiable cosinotic yet discovered,
for removing Piracies, Spots, Freckles, Red
ness of the Skin, and all cutaneous eruptions,
imparting to the skin the most delectable
fairness In case of Scrofula, Salt Rheum,
and various other humors, it has been used
with peculiar success. Gentlemen whose
faces are rendered tender by shaving, will
find it excellent beyond precedent, for ame
liorating and removing the unpleasant harsh-
nesB caused by the operation. Those persons
whose avocations expose them to Intense so
lar beat and severe winds, will find that an
occasional application of this valuable com'
pound will afford the most soothing relief, as
it removes the unpleasant sensation caused
by either. It baa not been deemed requisite
to offer a long recapitulation of its many vir
tues, as ita admirable properties are too well
known and too justly appreciated to require
it. But as there are many vile and spurious
cosmetics offered to the public, as possessing
virtuos of vital importance, it may not be
useless to remark that the * Italian Lotion 1
has been used by thousands, both io Europe
and America, with entire success, and far
exceeding their anticipations. It not only
renders the skin beautifully soft and clear,
but by repeated applications iW promotes n
general exercise of those important functions
of tho skin, which ore of primary importance
to those who tvisb to attain and preserve a
beautiful complexion, and does not contain
any of those pernicious ingredients, which
arc the basis of most cosmetics now in use.—
Certificates of ita complete efficacy can be
shown to any who wish, eitbur in English.

CERTIFICATES.
Philadelphia, May 28, 1824.
Sir,—I atn now, thanks to your medicine, a hearty
man. For nearly six years 1 Imvc been a martyr to a
disease, whoso ravages threatened, if not soon stopped,
to put a peritui to my existence. Having had no regu
lar medical advice from the commencement, my Com
plaint ut last got to such u height that I could not swal
low without great pain and difiiculty. Tumours formed
in different purls of my body, und 1 began to dunk my
situation almost desperate. The five bottles of tho
Cutholicon which I have taken have completely cured
me, and I am now as well as I could wish to be. With
my thanks, I atn your obliged humble servant; &e.

appeared, and being duly sworn, dplh declure and say,
that th« above statement is, in all respects, correct and
true, and tliut the signature to it is in the hand writing
of this deponent. JOHN UINNS, Alderman.

[From the Darien (Geo.) Gazette, November l.J
A most KXTiiAoiiniNAV cltif. effected nv Potter’*
Catholicon.—Captain DonHy, keeper of the light on
Sapclo ami master pilot for Doboy Bar, uihomes us to
make known to the public the following Let of a recent
date
“ About n month ogo, I bought tlirre bottles of Pot •
Ti n’s Catholicon, for the purpose of testing its virtues
upon Mr. Peter M’Culloch, pilot of Doboy Bar, who
bad been forsuvn.il. years confined (obis bed and
crutches in consequence of diseased limbs, and ulcerated
feet—tlic soles of his feet were in that shocking stale,
that tile bones were perceptible both to the siglH and
touch.
Blr. M’Culloch, after the use ofthree noTTLrs of tho
Catholicon, laid aside his crutches, and was this day
in town attending to his business,in neurly perfect health.
Darien, November 1, 1826.
Hartford, Conn. February 20, 1827.
Mr. Win. W. Potter—
Dear Sir—I have now but one bottle of Catholicon
left. A person arrived this evening, who came 60 miles
since morning, for 17 bottles wf Catholicon, and would
have taken 24 ; but I could let him have but 0. llo
came expressly for the article, and says that the person,
who had used two bottles, has had a “ liver affection
or consumption” 20 years ; and that three of the fam
ily arc invalids, and have paid in ten years, for medical
advice und medicine, §1,500. He says the person who
has used the two bottles, never found any mediunkto
compare with the Catiioi icon, and that the neigh
bours, seeing the astonishing effects it produced, a num
ber ot them sent the above person to procure the arti
cle, for various chronic diseases. The person told inc
be would wait two day, if ho could to procure
tlic two dozen. Will you, without fail, send me,
or, if necessary, even come with a few boxes of tho
Catholicon to Hartford, as I fear delays will tukc place
in New York and New Haven ; and as to being out of
the article, I ennnot think of it.
I am, in haste, yours, &c. E. W. BULL.
TO SEAMEN.
Thousands of unfortunate seamen arc rendered use
less to their country by the ravages of a devouring dis
ease, to which they uro more subject than any other class
of men. Tho case of an unfortunate sailor who either
emburks in a diseased state, or finds himself so, on a
long voyage, must bo truly deplorable; and it may
Imps, bo improper to suggest the propriety of
remedy in the disease alluded to,
TO SOUTHERN PLANTERS.
The Vegetable Catholicon is peculiarly adapted to
those diseases which are prevalent among the coloured
population of tho south. In that disease which is cal
ico Yaws, it is a sure remedy ; a single trial of it will
convince planters of its superior efficacy to any remedy
never benatetro'm the United States. They should
of a similar without it.

*Twas fashion once for men alono
To seek judicial places;
But Ladies, now, impatient grown,
Afo-nnoKiNn into casw.
Tho’ some tho novel plan deride,
Still others disagree;
Men are by women sometimes tmfd,
Without A SPECIAL (*lf.a>
Tim’ some would have their better parts
Known merely by report ;
Yet wo would have, with all onr licurtfl,
E’en Ladies no—to court.
Their r.i.oQvr.scz is dll dirino,
Wo give it onr applause ;
Their arguments arc always fine,
And sure to win their cause.
In Hymen’s Court the Graces long
Have o’er our claims presided ;
’Tin there among the sl'eino throng,
We’d have them all decided.
There’s no appeal from their decree,
Tho’ actions arc laid ovF.n ;
Tho case must always final be,
Assumpsit or in trover.
But we’ll not have our cask demuir’d,
If trial it will bear one
We’re sniro to have, when we are heard,
A liberal and a fair one.

lage of Alexandria, tho rival of Natchez in

tho Alexandria Gazette, which thus snys:
“A correspondent of the Nutcbez Galaxy

to come up Red river, and sea cur Jiltlo Ra

vnunting tone of tho Alexandrian, tho cham
pion of Natchez replies to him as follows :
••A hook and line for alligators ! ! That’s
a good one. Why—our half-horse, half-alli
gator boys hero, jump upon their backs,
gougo them, and then rido them ashore with
rattlesnakes for whips. A hook and lino, in

Charming pastime indeed ! delightful
country 1 Swamps, alligators, rattlesnakes
and cat-fish five feet long !
This trolling for alligutorB with a hook and
line, reminds us of the exploits of tho "Giant
Angler” of old ; and as the account thereof
is much in tho same vein &b tho preceding
paragraphs, we give it
“His angling rnd, a sturdy oak ;

And sat on u rock am) bolib’.i for whude.”

A Cuniosm*.—We wore favoured yester
day, by-Mr. John I. Gross, at the corner of
Gay &. Jones’ stroot, with a view of two Gold
Fishes, male and foinalo, which were caught
a low wcoUb 6iuoe in Jones’ Falls, near Fiun’e
Bridge. They are evidently of the same
species as the ordinary small gold fish which
is brought boro occasionally from tho Indian
ocean, though fifty times as large. The
male fish ia about 7 inches from the tip of lb#
nose to the extremity of tho tail, while IhQ
female ih al least 9 inches in length from the
same points both aro beautifully pro
portioned. The male has tho extreme parts
ofthe fins tastefully tipt with black; tho fe~
mnlo has a black uoso with spots of the same
colour on tho tail fins, which also extend, ill
regular dispersion, ubout throo inches up the
lower part of tho body, which is of the most
brilliant gold color. Thoro wore, we learn,
seven of these fishes caught in a net, four of
which have since died, supposed to havo re
ceived hurt in tho taking. Though we are
not sufficiently acquainted with (he inhabit
ants of tho deop, to exprosB a positive opinion,
yet we think we may venture upon the as
sertion that tlicso iisbes are not natives of
our waters, and wo take this occasion to in
vite ouch of our scientific citizens as are fa
miliar with tho hiBtory of tho finny tribe, to
go and view thoso of which wo are now
speaking. They are eminently worthy of
the attontion of the scientific and curious,
who we feel confident will be highly gr^ifiod.
Balt. Chron.
[Rinco the above appeared, it has been
ascertained, that Major Bnrnev, who at onn
Lime owned twenty or thirty of the gold fish
es usually seen in the glass glo6es, had been
in tho habit, wbon any of them became sick
from confinement, of taking thorn out of hia
globes, and patting them into tho Caoal of
tho Water Company’s Works, ia front of bis
dwelling, which- Canal it appears communi
cates with tho Falls*--We have heard it sta
ted that ouc of tho fish thus put by bim into
the place above described, was marked with
UfYlck spots similarly to thnso-which so beau

of Mr. Gross-]
In the year 1822, the brig Gov. Hopkins
sailed from Providence, R. 1. and arrived in
Havana about the middle of May. Early in
June, the captain was taken sick of the yel
low fever, and died after about three days
illness, the mate took tho command and tho
disorder and died also within a week. Ano
ther captain was then engaged, who also
took tho disease, and died within a few days.
The consignee tbon engaged a captain and a,
mate ond the vessel being luaded proceeded
to son, soon after which the captain was seiz
ed with the malady, and died also. Until
this titno the mate cootinued in health, but;
immediately after taking the command, bo
also was attacked, and died before he got to
the latitude of the Capes of Virginia, oft’
which she was met by a pilot boat, which put;
on board a uavig&tor, who carried hor into
Hampton Road«i but would not venture to
sleep below deck.
Tho crew, besides the officers, consisted of
4 men aqd a cook, who were employed at'
Havana in discharging tho outward cargo,
and loading molasses in return. All of thorn
enjoved uninterrupted health during tho
wholo voyage.
The inference to bo drawn from these facta
seems to be, that in tbo locker under tbo
starboard birth in tho cabin, was contained
collected those lockers, in small vessels tra
ding with the eastern states, to the West In*
dietf aro the common receptacles for tho ve
getables for the voyago, the conclusion seems
inevitable that the decay ofvegetablcsintbat
place occasioned poisonous exhalations which
proved fatal to 5 individuals in succession,
after they had assumed tho command anti
consequently taken possession of the captain’s
birth by which they were exposed to
exhalations.—Jtfer. Adc. *
