F OR Improving, preserving nod beautify
ing the Complexion.—This admirable
compound has stood tlio best of all tests (that
of experience) and proved itself tho most ef
fectual and valuable cosmetic yot discovered,
for removing Pimples, Spots, Freckles, Red
ness of (be Skin, and all cutaneous eruptions,
imparting to the skin the most delectable
fairness. Io cass of Scrofula, Salt Rheum,
and various other humors, it has boon used
with peculiar success. Gentlemen whose
faces are rondered tender by shaving, will
find it excellent beyond precedent, for atne
liorating and removing the unpleasant harsh,
ness caused by tho operation. Those persons
whose avocations expose them to Intense so
lar heat and severe wtods, 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 lias not been deemed requisite
to offer a long recapitulation of its many vir
tues, as its admirable properties are too well
known and too justly appreciated to require
it But as thore arc many vile and epurmus
cosmetics offered to the public, ns possessing
virtues of vital importance, it may nut be
useless to remark that tho ‘Italian Lotion
boa been used by thousands, both in Europo
and America, with entire success, and far
exceeding their anticipations. It not only
rendors the skin beautifully soft and clear,
but by repeated applications it promotes a
oeneral exercise of those important functions
of the skin, which are of primary importance
to those who wish to attain and preserve a
beautiful complexion, and does not contain

it’s Vegitable Catholicon.
T HE unrivalled and extensive reputation
already acquired by ibis medicine, do*
Oadda from the proprietor his greatful no*
koowlcdgment to a discerning public.
Those affected vY*th KING’S EVfti, or
Scrofula, NECROSIS, or diseased bones,
'SYPHILIS in every *tage, ULCERATED
SORE THROAT, ULCERS of every des
cription, however old and inveterate; every
variety of Cutaneous disease, Blotches on the
face, Pimples and Tetter in particular,
Rheumatism and Qoul % White Swellings, and
diseases resulting from JUercury, may be
confident of obtaining in all tbe above cases,
in which nature has not altogether yielded to
disease, radical and permanent cures from
the use of tl\e Catholicon. This is the first
discovery of a medicine taken in the stomach,
that has bad the long desired effect of curing
the most obstinate and distressing externa!
diseases . •
The use of nutritious food, and the ordina*
ry avocations of business are not interrupted
by the Catholicon; and its properties having
the power of Mntunng both flesh and bone,
and of renovating and invigorating every part
of ihe system during the process of extermi
nating disease, is without a parallel.
The proprietor begs loave, respectfully, to
return thauks to tho many who have reposed
confidence in his former statements, relating
to tbe healing properties of the Catholicon:
and he would lurtbot assure the public, that
ho will in no instance forfeit their confidence,
by recommeading his medicine as applicable
to any disease, in which it shall not have
proved itself eminently successful.
The following certificates will, it is pre
sumed, satisfy tbe most incredulous, of tbe
pre-eminent virtues of tho Catholicon.
CERTIFICATES.
Philadelphia, May 28, 1824.
Sir,—-I am now, thanks to your medicine, a hearty
an. For nearly six years i have been a martyr to a
sense, whose ravages threatened, if not soon stopped,
to put a period to tny existence. Having had no regu
lar medical advice from the commencement, my com-
datnt at last got to such a height that I could not swat-
ow without great pain and difficulty. Tumours formed
in different parts of my body, and 1 begun to think my
situation alrlTbst desperate. The fivu bottles of the
Catholicon which 1 have taken have completely cured
me, and I am now as well as I could wish to be. With
my thanks, I am your obliged humble servant, &c.

A MOST EXTRAORDIN.IV Ct’IIE t.mCTEO UY PoTTHl’S
atjiouco.n# —Captain Donely, keeper of the light on
Sapelo and master pilot for Doboy Bar, athorizes us to
make known to the public tho following fact of a recent
date.
4 * About a month ago, I bought three bottles of Pot *
ter’s Catholicon, for tho purpose of testing its virtues
upon Mr. Peter M’Cullorh, pilot of Doboy Bar, who
had been for several years confined to his bed und
crutches in conseipienito of diseased limbs, and ulcerated
feet—the soles of his feet were in that shocking state,
that the bones were perceptible both to the sight and
touch.
Mr. M'Cultocli, after tho uso of three norms of the
Catholicon, laid aside his crutches, and was this day
in town attending to his business,ill nearly perfect health.
Darien, November 1, 1828.
Hartford, Conn. February 20, 1827.
Mr. Wm. W. Potter— •
Dear Sir—I havo now but onf. bottle of Catholicon
left. A person arrived this evening, who came 00 miles
since morning, for 17 bottles ef Catholicon, and would
have taken 24 ; but I could let him have but 8. Hu
came expressly for tho 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 are invalids, and have paid in ten years, for medical
advice and medicine, $1,500. He says the person who
has used tho two bottles, never rot no any medic.nl to
compare with the Catijoi icon, and that the neigh
bours. seeing the astonishing effects it produced, n num
ber of them sent the above person to procure the arti
cle, for various chronic diseases. The person tidd me
ho would wait two day, if he could to procure
the two dozen. Will you, without fail, send me,
or, if necessary, even come with a few boxes of the
Catholicon to Hartford, as I fca^dclay3 will take placo
in New York and Now Haven; and us to being out of
the article, I cannot think ofit.
I am, in haste, yours, &c. E. W. BULL.
TO SEAMEN.
Thousands of unfortunate seamen aro rendered use*
less to their country by the ravages of a devouring dis*
case,to which they are more subject than any other class
of men. The case of an unfortunate sailor who either
embarks in a diseased state, or finds himself so, on a
long voyage, must bo truly deplorable ; and it may
not, perhaps, be improper to suggest tho propriety of
always including tlio Catholicon in the medicine chests
of the Navy and Merchants’ service, it being a sovereign
remedy in tiro disease alluded to.
TO SOUTHERN PLANTERS. *
• The Vegetable Catholtcon is peculiarly adapted to
those diseases which are prevalent among the coloured
iulation of tho south. In that disease which is cal-
,v- Yaws, it is a sure remedy ; a single trial of it will
convince planters of its superior efficacy to any remedy
never benature in the United States. They should
of a similar without it.

plank—the passcoger was thrown down, but
bcarcely injured. *Two passengers, Mr. A.
D. Cowan aod Mr. M’Bride, were standing
together and conversing on the boiler deck,
when it blew up—they were tossed, the one
forward on the forecastle deck, the other
back, on and over tbe hurricane roof,coming
down on ono of the oftor-guarda—audJbolh
almost unhurt. Mr. William Cummings the
Pitot ou watch, apprehensive for the deien
tiou of steam, mtxious for the moment of gi
ving the eignai for letting it on, turned the
wheel, and leaned forward to watch when
the boat would clear tbe bar, and snags above
her bow—and while he was in this position,
the explosion look ploec.aad something hurl
ed thiough tho whee’house floor, precisely in
the place where he had stood. Ho was thrown
in tho river, unhurt, and swam to the relief
of tbo Captain. Mr, Hiram Birch, pilot, was
also precipitated from tho boiler deck, into
the river—brushing the capstan and a pile
of castings on the bow—waa considerably
bruised, but nble to 6uccor tho drowning,and
attend on the wounded duriug the night.—
Thore was probably a dozen persona over
the boilers the moBt of whom escaped with
little injury. Mr* Monroe Quort ier, clerk,
waB on the guard, a little aft of the bursting
builor, with one foot oo the railing— he felt
the steam on his back, plunged into the river
and carac ofl’unhurt.

The Catholic Church ot Montreal was
opened fur divine service on the 16th inst.
ou wli»cU oc&asion oil the high dignitaries* of
the province were in attendance. Tbe
M<mtre|) Courant furnishes the following
brief description of this vast and magnificent
edifice
Tho building is of itself a most interesting
subject of observation, and we regret *hal
wuat of room prevents us from giving a de
tailed account ofit in all its parts: some idea
may be formed of tbe edifice from the follow
ing particulars, viz:
No. of pews on the ground floor, 504
du. on the first gallery 372
no. on the second do........308
1244
Length of the building inside. •.. .256 feet
Breatdb do 133 do.
Height from floor to ceiling........84 do.
Tbe galleries are supported by seven mas
sive columns oo each side, surmounted by
ground arches, with mouldings and orna
ments in fresco. The ceiling is painted in
fresco, resembling groins, and owing to the
masterly manner in which tho painting has
been executed, it i* scarcely possible to dis
tiuguish the difference between it and real
stucco wor fr , unless by a near approach.
There arefive altars : the grand one in the
centre of the chaocel, Is almost finished, and
will be a piece of exquisite workmanship.—
All tbe 6talls, railiog and other wood works
of the chancel are made of black walnut,
which has on appearance truly becoming the
solemnity^of the place. The appearance of
the edifice, when viewed from the grand al
tar is truly magnificent, and presents a coup
d'ail at once grand and sublime. We be
lieve it will be considered no exaggeration
to say, this church, when finished, will excel
any house of worship in America, in archit
ectural beauty, size, and beauty of design.
Intemperance.—Extract from an ad
dress pronounced before the Medical Grad
uates of tbe University of Maryland, April G,
1829, by Nathan K. Smith, M. D. Professor
of Surgery and Deao of the Faculty.
How few there aro who realize that while
the sword is sleeping io its scabbard, while
plenty smiles upon oyr laud, aod pestilence
withholds its arrews, there ia etill abroad a-
body of operaiives as those of tbe great man
ufacturing towns, if they do not actually
threaten, are always capable of producing
the most terrible convulsions.
Homicide.—-A distressing event occurred
at Ashfield, Conn, on the 7th inst. A man
named Alfred Elmer, fancied himself com
missioned from Heaven to kill throe persons,
deriving bis warrant from lithchap. Revela
tion. Proceeding upon this horrible idea,bi«
first victim was a child nged 2 years, on only
son of Mr. Timothy Catlio, which bo found
asleep in its cradle, nnd cut its throat in such
o shocking manner as to occasion death in a
few momnnte. Ho then attacked his owa
Grnml-Cath‘ypW *otipded him so severely
that his 11to is tlespaiVea of. His arm was ar
rested before he liad time to complete tho
work of death, or to attempt it on the third
intended victim. Tho child he killed, aa ho
6nid. because it was innocent. No doubt ia
enlcrtttiued of his insanity.
The Ghost.—For several evenings lost
week the town of Waltham had a supernat
ural visitor, who appeared jo tbe edge of tbe
wootl« near the Plain. Many people wont
from this city and vicinity to see his ghost-
ship, who soon obtained a very comfortable
iioloritey. On Saturday evening, nearly 50(1
people are supposed to have collected ueat
the spot, and word having beoo given out
that he would not appear until 11 o’clock,
the tavern keepers in the neighborhood drove
a pretty trade in the matter of providing sup
pers &c. Tho aflatr appears to havu been
set on foot by some young men, to test tho
courage of n companion who had expressed
his disbelief of apparitions. The rifles said
to have boon fired at the unearthly substance,
it is believed, were discharged by those who
were in the secret, ond who took care that
balls should not be forthcoming. The de
ception, it is said,consisted of a person dress-'
ed in black wrapping a white sheet nbout
him and lotting it fall in such a manner as to
appear as if he sank into the earth. Wo
congratulate all the trembling old women
and timid maidens that the ghost is laid at
last. Boston Patriot.
