in which nature has not altogether yielded to

Tho uoe of nutritious food, and tho ordina

and of renovating nniTinvigorating every pari
of the system during the process of extermi

and he would lurthot assure the public, that
ho will in no inslanco forfeit thoir confidonen,

low without great pain and difficulty. Tumour* formed
in ditrerent parts of my body, and I begun to think my

me, and 1 am now as well as 1 could wish to be. Witk

Catholicon,— Captain Donely, keeper oftho light on
Sapelo and master pilot for Doliny Bar, athorizes us to
make known to (he public (he following fact of a recent
date
“ About a month ago, I bought three bottles of Pot
teii's Catholicon, for tho purpose of testing its virtues
upon Mr. Peter M’Uullooli, pilot of I)oboy Bar, who
had been for several years confined to tiis bed ami
crutches in consequence ofdiscnst d limbs, and ulcerated
feet—tho soles of his feel were in that shocking stnio,
that tho bones wero perceptible belli to tho sight and
touch.
Mr. ilPCulloch, after the uscofTiinrr rorri rs oftho
Catholicon, laid aside his crutches, and was this day
in town attending to his business,in nearly perfect health.
Dorion, November 1, I82G.
Hartford, Conn. February 20, 1627.
Mr. Wm. W. Potter-
Dear Sir—I have now hut o:;r. bottle of Catholicon
left. A person arrived this evening, who camo CO miles
since morning, for 17 bottles «f Catholicon, and would
havo taken 24; but I could let him have but fl.. lie
came expressly for tho article, and says that the person,
who had used two tattles, lias had a “ i xvr.n affection
or consumption” 20 years ; and that throe of tho fam
ily are invalids, and havo paid in ton years, for medical
advice and medicine, $ 1,500. Ho says the person who
has used the two bottles, never found any medicine to
compare with Tin: Catiioiicon, and that tho neigh-
hours, seeing tho astonishing effects it produced, a num
ber ol them »ent the above person to procure tho arti
cle, for various chronic diseases. The person told mo
be would wait two day, if ho could to procuro
the two dozen. Will you, without fail, send me,
or, ifncccssary, even come with a few boxes of tho
Catholicon to Hartford, as 1 fear delays will take placo
in Now York and New Haven; and us to being out of
the article, 1 cannot think of it.

TO SMMEN
Thousands of unfoituiiole seamen nro rendered use
less to their country by the ravages of n devouring dis
ease,to which they are more subject than any other class
of men. Tho case of an unfortunate sailor who either
embarks in a diseased state, or finds himself so, on a
long voyage, must be truly deplorable; and it may
not, perhaps, be improper to suggest tho propriety of
always including tho Catholicon in the medicine chests
oftho Navy and Merchants’ service, it being a sovereign
romedy in tho discaso alluded to.
TO SOUTHERN PLANTERS.
ThcVcgctublo Catholicon is peculiarly adapted to
those diseases which are prevalent among the coloured
^ illation of tkc south, in that disease which iscul-
Yaws, it is a suru remedy ; a singlo trial of it will

never benaturo in tho United States. They should

A widow Indy in this city, made 700 pounds
of first rato Tobacco oflcss than half an
acre, aud that with only tho assistance of a
boy about 14 yoars of age.
“I could state further, that agontlcmanof
this city also mado, fiom little more than an
aero of land, moro than 1000 pounds of tobac
co, nnd of a superior quality ; bo had but
throe bands, nnd tboy wero employed much
of their time nt other work. It is calculated
tbut it will,on au average, require ono light
hand to,tho acre, and if the soil bo good,
from 10, to 1500 lbs. may be made. Tho
quality of (ho tobacco is such, that tho so-
gars made out of it havo sold at Charleston
and other cities in tbe United States, at from
$10 to $12 por 10001 and woeoasidor it a
largo calculation when we sny it will requiro
ton pounds of tobacco for 1000 segars. The
flavor, firmness, color, &c. nro equal to the
good Cuba. Wo generally ealculato on three
cuttingB m the season—we sometimes havo
more—tho second A third equal to tho first.
“Thu tobncco made in the country is r/c-
ferablo to that mado on tho sea board, inas
much as tbo soil is better adopted in general,
ond it does not partake oftho saline quality,
which is inevitably on the sen board, which

In order to avoid tho oxpenso and delay?
attendant on the construction and passage of
tbo ordinary lochs in canals, tbo Morris Ca
nal Company havo dolormincd to substitute
inclined plants. Tho editor of tho New
York Courier witnessed last week au exper
iment mado nt tbo inclined piano erected on
the lino of tho canul at Bloomfield, tbo result
of which was quite satisfactory. Two boats,
with twenty fivo tons of stone each, wero ta-
kdnupcm the piano, and in six minutes and
twenty-nine seconds ouo was id tbo cooal be
nesth, on a level fifty-fuur foct lower than
that on which it bad been moving—the other
in tho wooden locks at the hoad of tho plane!
The time required to pass through tho lock
at tho head of the piano was two minutes aud
a half, making io all ten minutes for two boats
of 2b tous each to overcome an elevation and
descent of 54 foot! To overcome the same
rise or fall on tho Erie Canal. 58 minutes
would bo consumed, ond five k-.ks would be
necessary to accomplish it, each ol which
would cost half as much as this inclioed plane.
Tho operation of tbo wooden locks at tbe
head of tbe piano is said to have been boauti-
fu! and expeditious; its construction is in
many respects entirely now. Instead of two
gates bung in tho ordinary maoner, it has
ono gate only, which is secured by hinges to
tho bottom oftbe lock, and on tho water be
ing let in, is gradually raised by it until tbo
pressure is sufficient to close it. When
closed it inclines towards, aud on tbo water
being lot out returns to its original position
by its own gravity. Tho experiment was
tried ou fivo difl'eront pianos, of which tho
ooo just described is the smallest.

oftho building, to the opposite front corner,
nnd there bunt out with tbe same foroe as it
did on the first corner, part dissipating itsplf

There was no rod on tho building, and thn

Wo bad often heard that it was dangerous
