knowledgment to a disoerning publio.
Those affected with KING’S EVIL, or
Scrofula, NECROSIS, or diseased bones,

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 Gout, White Swellings, and
diseases resulting from Mercury, may be
confident of obtaining in all the above cates,
in which nature has not altogether yielded to
disease, radical and permanent cures from
the use of tho Catholicon. This is the first
discovery of a medicine takon in tbeptomaoh,
that has bad the long desired effect of cugng
the most obstinate and distressing external
diseases.
The use of nutritious food, and the ordina
ry avocations of business aro not interrupted
by the Catholicon; and its properties having
tho power of restoring both flesh and bone,
and of renovating and invigorating every part
of the system during the process of extermi
nating disease, is without a parallel.
The proprietor begs loavo, respectfully, to
return thanks to the many who have reposed
confidence in his formor statements, relating
to the healing properties of tho Catholicon:
and he would lurthet assure the public, tbnl
ho will in no instance forfeit their confidence,
by recommending his medicine as applicable
to any diseaeo. in which it shall not have
proved itself eminently successful.
The following certificates will, it is pre
sumed, satisfy the most incredulous, of the
pre-eminent virtues of the Catholicon.
CERTIFICATES.
Philadelphia, May 28, 1824.
Sir,—I am now, thanks to your medicine, a hcarly
man. For nearly six yenrs 1 have been a martyr to a
disease, whose ravages threatened, if not soon stopped,
to put a period to my existence. Having had no regu
lar medical advice tioin the commencement, my com
plaint at last got to such a height that I could not swal
low witliout great pain and difficulty. Tumours formed
in different parts el my body, and I began to think my
situation almost desperate. The live bottles of the
Catholicon which I have taken have completely cured
mo, anil I am uow as well us I could wish to be. With
uiy thunks, I am your obliged humble servant, &c.

A MOST F.X'J'IIAORDINAY CUIlF. EFFECTED »V PoTTl ll’S
Catholicon.—Cuptain Donely, keeper of the light on
Supclo and master pilot lor Doboy Bar, atfiorizes us to
niiikc known to the public the following fact of a recent
date
“ About a month ago, 1 bought three bottles of Pot-
irr’s Catholicon, for tlie purpo.se of touting its virtues
upon Mr. Peter M’Culloch, pilot ofrDobpy Rur,*'viw
had been for several rears confined to fiis bed und
crutches in consequence ol diseased limbs, and ulcerated
feet—the soles of his feet were in that shocking state,
that the bones were perceptible both to tho sight und
touch.
Mr. M’Culloch, after the useofTiinFR iiottlfs of the
Catholicon, laid aside his crutches, atul was this duy
in town attending to his business,in nearly perfect health.
Dariqu, November 1, 1826.
Halford, 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 «f Catholicon, and would
have taken 24 ; but 1 could let turn have bill 9. Hu
came expressly for the article, and says that the person,
who had used two bottles, has had a “ liveii affection
or consumption” 20 years ; nnd that threo of tho fum-
ily arc invalids, and have paid in ten'years, for medical
advice und medicine, $ 1,600. He says the person who
has used the two bottles, never found any medicine to
comi 1 aiie with the Cathoiicon, and that the neigh
bours, seeing tho astonishing effects it produced, anum-
ber of them sent tho above person to procuro the arti
cle, for vurious chronic diseases. Tho person told mo
bo would wait two duy, if he could to procure
tho two dozen. Will you, without fail, send me,
or, ifnccessary, even come with a few boxes of tho
Catholicon to Hartford, as I fear delays will take place
in New York and New Haven; and as to being out of
tho article, I cannofthink of it.
I am, in haste, yourB, &o. E. W\ BULL.
TO SEAMEN.
Thousands of unfortunate seamen are rendered use
less to their country by tho ravages of a devouring dis
ease, to which they ore more subject than any other class
of men. The case of an unlbrtunate sailor who cither
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 the propriety of
always including the Catholiconin the medicine chests
of the Navy amiMerchants’ service, it being a sovereign
remedy in the disease aiiudcd to.
TO SOUTHERN PLANTERS.
The Vegetable Catholicon is peculiarly adapted to
thnse diseases which arc prevalent among the coloured
population of the south. In that disease which is cul
led Yaws, it i3 n sure remedy ; a single trial of it will
convince planters of its superior efficacy to any remedy
never tunalurc in the United States. They should
of a similar without it.

Peraeveranee, aaya the oditorofn Scotch

very new, but ho illnatrataa it by an anec
dote which ia ae to u». Wo have aomotime.
heard with wondor of (be exploit? of tho
roughgoing aaloamen; but never of any quite
equal to (hia:—•• A peraon in tbo weet of
Scotland, who bad engaged in tho manufac
ture of n certain description of goods, then
recently introduced into that part of tbe
country, found it necessary, or conjootured
it might bo profitablo, to establish a perma
nent connection with. aerne respectable mer
cantile hense in London. With this design
he paoked up a quantity of goads, equipped
himself for his journey, and departed. He
travelled on foot to tbe metropolis. Upon
hia arrival ho made diligent inquiry as to
tbeao who were likely to prove bis best cus
tomers ; and accordingly, proceeded to call
upon one of tho most opulent drapers, with
whom he received to establish a regular cor-
respondonoe. When Blunders entered tho
drapor's shop, he found it crowded with pur-
chasers, aud tbq clerks all bustling busily at
the back of tho counter, banding out their
several wares to their respetivo customers.
Saunders waited wlmt he thought a reason
able length of timo, (lion laid down his pack,
his bonnet and staff upon tha counter, and
inquired in his bread Scutch fof “ tho head
o’ tho house.” One of tho clorks asked tvhnt
ho wnntud. The auswer was, as usual, a
question. >• What yo ought i’ my line, sir ?”
" No.” was the prompt reply of the person
interrogated, who accompanied his mono
syllabic uegation with a look of couiempt
for the mean appearance of tho itinerant
Scotch merchant. “ Will you no take a
look u’ the glides, sir ?” was Saunder’a
next quory. “ No, not at all, I liavo not
time,” repliod the clerk; “ tube them away,
toko them,away." “ Ye’ll aiblina find them
tvurth your while; nnd I doubtna but ye’ll
buy,” said Saunders, ns ho coolly proceeded
to untie and unstrip his burden. “ Go away
wns reiterated hull'a dozen times with gronl
impatience ; but the old man still persisted.
” Get along, you old fool,” cried the clerk,
completely out of temper, ns he pushed the
already exposed contents of the pack off tho
counter, “ get along.” Saunders looked up
in the individual’s faco with a wido mouth
and an enlarged pair of eyes, then looked
down to his osinto that lay ecattorod among
hia feet, lookod up ogaie, & exclaimed 11 and
wull you really no buy ought; but yc dinna
ken ye ha’cna seen Lite gudes yet,” and so
■aying, he slowly gnlhorod them up and re
placed them on the counter. • Get out of
the shop sir,” wns tho peremptory endeogry
command that followed his last appeal
Saunders with gravity and self-possession
said, “ are you in earnest friond f”—“ VeB
certainly,” was the reply, and that reply was
succeeded by an unequivocal proof of ain
cority on tbo part oftho person who made,
it, when he picked up Sounder’s bonnet,and
whirled it out into the street. Tho cool
Scotchman stalked deliberately and gravely
in quest of his stewarion “ headgear.”—Al
ter giving it two or throo hearty slaps upon
tho wall wilhout the door, ho rc-ontered ve
ry composedly wringing tho moisture out
of it, looked over to tiro person*who had ser
ved him so, aud said, with n genuine Scotch
smilo, “ you wna but an ill-faurod turn,man;
ye’ll surety take a look o’ the gudes noo.”—
The master drftperhitnsolf, who was standing
all tho while in tho shop, admiring tbo pati
ence and perseverance of tho old man, and
feeling a little compunction for tho uncere
monious manner he bad been treated, exam
ined tbo contents of the pack, found thorn to
be articles be etood in nood of,purchased them

Combat witii A Bear.—As Mr. Daniel
Oaks and bis sod were in the field nt work,
a few days ago, in Stamford, Vt. they des
cried a huge bear i tbe sou wont bomo for bis
riflo, shot the animal and be fell. The father
seized a club, nod ran to despatch him; but
Uruiu had no idea of being knockud on (bo
head like a dog: he sprang up, raised him
self ou his bind feet sad stood on tbo defen
sive. And here, it appears, he proved him
self ae excellent holer ; for as Mr. Oaks
was aiming a tremendous blow at bis bead,
bo parried tbe atroko and with his dexter
paw laid his antagonist on tbe ground. How
betliog stood o What (logo of tbe combat w«
have not yet beard. But no sooner bed Mr.
Oaks got upon bis feat again, than Brain tri
ed his strength at a back bug, and grappling
hia antagonist, bkgan to squeeze him most
unmercifully—when the son, having in the
mean time re-loaded bia riflo, placed tbe muz-i
zle in such a poaition ae net (o endanger his
father, and sent a ball through the bear’s
head.
Accounts differ is to the magnitude of tbe
-animal. Soma Bay he woighed 25fijftomo

was exceedingly lean, and would have
weighed four hundred if hehad been well

Tho London prera is
of our own country nets little, _
feet great aeourao; of-dotaila ae to tbo
month of important porBonagoa, or accidents
occurring to them. Tbo fall of Lord Wel
lington from his horse, at a recont review in
England, woe "of course an event dot to be
paesed over, and accordingly we find the
London'Spectator commenting thus pleasant
ly upon the accuraoy of the verioni accounts
of ao portontous an ocourranoe :
The Duke of fVtiling Ion', fall from . hit
hone.—It ia edifying to observe hew difficult
it is to obtain an accurate etatement of the
simplest matter offset. There areeeven or
eight orooles of truth daily speaking io this oi-
ty,&yet any two of them seldom agree in theic
account of the same matter, whether of oriti-
cism, political opioion, or occurrence.
Bomo accident happened to the Suka of
Wellington at the review in.Hyde, Perk ou
Wednesday,—what was. it ? One paper
aaye his Grace fell off his horso; another,
that the horse reared and tbe Duke dexter*
ouely throw himself off; a third print has it
that the Premier did not tumble* but that
the horse came down; a fourth, again; de
clares that the Hero of Waterloo waa thrown
off his steed by a gust of wind. Such are tbe
discrepiences and contradictions of tbe most
faithful reporters of so Bimple an affair.
First we shall givQ the version of tbo
Times.
“During tho review,the Duke of Welling
ton while advancing at the head of bis regt.,
was thrmbn from his horse \ but his Grace,
wc aro happy to state, experienced no injury
whatever from the fall.”
Tho Chronicle ia, of course, great in par
ticularity.
“During the review the Duke of Welling
ton was thrown from his horse, or rather tbo
animal fell with his Grace. Something bar-
given it alarm, it reared so suddenly that it
could not regain its balance, and fell back-
wards. Fortunatoly the Duke most dexter
ously managed to throw liimself clear of tho
horae,otherwise the consequences might have
been very serious. To tho enquiries of those
around him, the Duke replied that he was
not in the leust hurt; nor did it appear that -
the horse had sustained any injury, as bis
Grace was soon remounted, nnd the animal
quite possive. The horse is the Duke’s fa
vorite, of n chesont color, and was ridden by
his Grace at tho Battle of Waterloo,”
Tho horBO which the Duke of Wellington
ridos on every occasion, has always this pe
culiarity, that ho i9 the identical horse tbe
I)uko rode at the battle of Waterloo. Some
times he is a chosnut, sometimes he isa grey,-,
sometimes a bay, aud we have known him a
roan.
As wo have a sinccro regard for tbe hoiso
that carried tbo Duke through
“That great day of milling, u hen blood fell in lakes.
When kings held the boUlo, anii Europe thoBlokcs,’ 1
wq must express our pleasure at learning
from our friend the Chronicle that hu ia of &
capacity to gear in this year 1829. Sac years
ngo Mr. Martin Golway had him in a dung-
cart,—-that i® to say, in a Parliamentary
statemont, which is next in credit to a news
paper ono. i
The Chronicle mentionB this peculiar par
ticular in tho behaviour of tbe mob to tho
inuoh-ostecinod quadruped in question—wc
quote the sent.enco comploto
“At ono time half a dozen people were
seen on cither sido of tbe horse, endeavoring
to obtain n shako of his hand.”
Wo hope tho horse was of sixteen hands
et least, for tho pleasure of distributing hie
manual courtesies among tho mob.
Rut we are wandering from the main point,
the manner of the Duke’s tumblo.
The Standard beats all its contemporaries
in its account of the matter-
“ During the military evolutions, nn acci
dent occurred to the inspecting Field Mar
shal, which, but for the extraordinary docility
of the charger which hia Groce rode, might
have boeu attended with serious consequer-
ccs. The high wind taking, it would appear,
the enormous grenadier cap which his Grace
wore, absolutely lifted him off' his saddle and
he fell to the ground
Hew many conflicting statements are (here
in these three reports! Tbe Duko fell; the
Duke throw himself off; the Duke woe
blown off. Then for the horse: tbe horee
frisky; the hofse rampant; tho horse extra
ordinarily docile.
Tho same accuracy which thus treats of a
nobleman’® fall from, or with, or by his horse,
(for tho point is yet in conflict) deals with
the fall of uations. But if wo judge ex pede,
what a vast Hercules of falsehood must bo
the representatives of this world!
Lap;£b Cheapening Goods.—Not many
summers sioco, two damsels dressed in over
flowing style of country taste, i. e. flowers,
fcatbori, ribbons. Sic. promenaded our streets,
dropped into our dry good stores and examin
ed calicoes, cbiotzes, bombazines, borabazet®,
lawn, linen, crapes, hose, handkerchiefs, &c.
and walked out, saying, “ they would look
further and would call again." After a long
tour of observation and maoy talks with shop
men, they succeeded iu purchasing a pair of
wbole/afa.” Beforo going borne, they weuc
to tbe post office and asked for lettera, two
were found to their address.—“How much
are they ?” said tbo damsels. * Twelve aud
a half ceutB each,’ replied tbe office dork
’Twelve and half.” exclaimed tbe damsels.
’Spose you let us bove them cheaper, if we
take both? “Cannot do it,” said the clerk.
“ Uade Sam will not allow it.” “ Why can t
you ask yonr Uocle; perhaps, he'll let vs
have them if we take, both for twenty cents r 1
rejoined the shoppers ? I Here’s cheapening
for you!
