Philadelphia, May 28,1024.
Sir,—I am now, (hanks to your medicine, a hearty
niaq. For nearly six years I have been a martyr to*
disease, whose ravages threatened, if not soon slopped,
to put a poriod to my existence. Having had no regu
lar medical advico from the commencement, my com
plaint at Inst got to such a heiglit that 1 could not swal
low without great pain and difficulty. Tumours firmed
in different parts of my body, and 1 begun to think my
my body, and 1 began to think my
situation almost desperate. The live bottles of tho
Catholicon which 1 have taken hnvc completely cured
which 1 have taken hnvc completely cured
me, and I am now ns well us I could wish to bu. With
my thanks, I am your obliged humble servant. &c.

(From tho Darien (Geo.) Gazette, November I.J
A MOST F.XTRAORPINAY CLTIF. F.FFKCTF.D liV Potter’s
Catholicon.—Captain Donely, keeper of tho light on
Sapclo nnd master pilot for Doboy Bar, athorizes us to
niuhu known to the public the following fact of a recent
date.
“ About a month ngo, I bought three bottles of Pot-
Eft’s Catholicon, for the puqmso of testing its virtues
pou Mr. Peter M’Cullucb, pilot of Doboy liar, who
find been for several years confined to his bed and
crutches in consequence of diseased ’imbs, and ulcerated
feet—the soles of his feet were in that shocking state,
that tho bones were pcrceptiblo bottv to the sight and
touch.
Mr. M’Ciilloch, after the use ofrimrx. pottles ofthe
Catholicon, laid aside his crutches, and was this day
in town attending to his business,in nearly perfect health.
Darien, November I, 1626.
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 60 miles
sityjs morning, for 17 bottles of Catholicon, and would
tf.K token 24 ; hut I could let him have but 9. He
(fine expressly for tho article, and pays that the person,
i/ho had used two bottles, has had a “ livf.h affection
hr consumption” 20 years ; nnd that threo of the fam
ily are invalids, nnd have paid in.tcn years, for medioal
advico and medicine, $1,500. Ho says the person who
has used tho two bottles, never found any medicine to
coMt’ABr. with the Catiioiicon, and that tho neigh
bour seeing tho astonishing effects it produced, a num
ber of them sent the above person to procure the arti
cle, for various chronic diseases. The person told me
ho would wait two day, if ho could to procure
the two dozen. Will you, without fail, send mo,
or, if necessary, even come with a few boxes of tho
Catholicon to Hartford, os I fear delays will take place
in New York nnd New Haven; and as to being out of
the article, I cannot 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’aro* inoro subject than aqg other class
of men. The case of an unfortunate sailor 1
of men. Tho case of an unfortunate sailor who cither
embarks in a diseased slate, or finds himself so, on a
long voyage, must be truly deplorable; and it may
not, perhaps, bo improper to suggest the propriety of
always including the Cutholiconin the medicine chests
ofthe Navy ami Merchants’ scrvico, it being a sovereign
remedy in the disease alluded to.
TO SOUTHERN PLANTERS.
Tho Vegetable Catholicon is peculiarly adapted to
tlmse diseases which are prevalent among the coloured
population of the south. In that disease which is cal
led Yaws, it is a pure remedy ; a 6‘mglc trial of it will
convince planters of its superior efficacy to any remedy
never benaturo in tho United States. They should
of a similar without it.

children, sir ?
Stranger.—I don’t know what reason you
have to conclude so.
Host.—O, no reason in the world, Mister,
not the least; but I thought I might jiet take
the liberty to tnako the presumption, you
know—that’s all, sir. I take it, Mister,

Host.—Nooflenco.l bopo—I—I—I would’nt
be thought uncivil by any means. I always
calculate to treat every body with civility.
Stranger.—You have a very stiaogo way
of showiug it.

Host.—O, not at all, not tbe least in the

Tne S/.NuwicH Wolf.—The Barnstable
Journal gives many particulars (4 or 6 co*
luinns) concerning the wolf lately killed in
Sandwich, in this State, of which the follow
ing is an abstract. A great proportion of
Plymouth, Sandwich, Barnetoblo and Fal
mouth is still covered with forest, end this
forest land is connected together so as to
form one extensive, uncultivated region,
which affords n wide range for deer and othj
or animals. Tho inhabitants of these towns
are not so exclusively seamen as is common
ly thought; the greater part are farmers,
who get their living out of tho ground; ono
of the principal objects of their attention is
sheep, which they drive into the woods after
shearing, where the animals find sufficient
food during the summer. Iu 1827, many
slieep were found dead in tho woods tnucU
mutilated about the throat, and some were
found wounded but not killed, at length the
trochs of some unknown animal were discov
ered, and soon afior a strange beast resem
bling n largo was dog seen. Whoa the sheep
returned to their owners in the fall of 1827,
some farmers did not find more than half their
number, and moro or less woro missing front
almost every flock; During the winter of
1827-8, the unknown animal visited tho en
closed fields and barn yards, nnd killed some
sheep in almost every i'old, in tbo vicinity of
the woods; his traekb were seen in the snow,
and the citizens united in hunting raatcheu.
to desloy him, but he escaped unharmed. In
the summer of 1828, he killed many ebee(f
both in the pastures and ia tho woods, antf
and sovcral carcasses of deer wore discover
ed ; he was frequently seen, and many times
pursued by the hunters, but always escaped.
Ho wao once seen in tho road hy two young:
women ; after they had shouted at him sev
eral times, he deliberately jumped over tbe
fonce into a field aud killed a lamb.—
Prey was abundant, and bo seldom took
moro from a shoop than tho blood, the milk
glands of ewos, and a few mouthfuls from the
hind quarters; many sheep were found alive,
cruolly wounded and a few recovered. Du
ring tho winter of 1828—9 ho continued bis
usual habits, and many a general turn out of
tho people was mado alter him, but thoy
could neither kill nor capture him. Doga
wore afraid of him, and would not follow Mb
(rack. Each of tho towns of Sandwich and
Falmouth offered a reward of $100 for hia
deal ruction within their bounds. At lengtb,
on tho tenth of Juno last, a party discovered
him in Barnstable, and Joseph Iioxsie se
verely wounded him with a charge of book-
shot; be was pursued about three miles to k
swamp in Sandwich, where a socond chargo
of buckshot killed him. Ho proved to be a
wolf, weighing 68 pounds, and ipeasurod O
foot from tho nose to tho end of the tail* It
is supposed that ho was brought to Plymouth
from Labrador by a fishing vessel a few years
ago.—The vessel bad three whelps on board,
ooe of which escaped to the woods and tho
others died; they were supposed to be young
foxes, but it is now believed that they wera
wolves. It was a season of great rejoicing
when iho animal was slain. He bad des
troyed more than ono thousand sheep in
Sandwich, and perhaps an equal number in
other town?. About 40 years ago a wolf
ffrom Vermont mado great destruction among
tho shoop in Barnstablo and Plymouth coun
ties, whero ho remained two or three years;
he was killed in Middleborough.
