Philadelphia, May 28,1824.
Sir,--I am now, thanks to your medicine, a heady
man. For nearly six years 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 from the commencement, my com
plaint at last got to such a height that I could not swal
low without great pain and difficulty. Tumours formed
in different parts of iny body, and I began to tlnnk my
situation, almost desperate. Tho five bottles of the
Catholicon which I havo taken have comploicly cured
mo, and I am now as wall ak I could wish to be;. With
my thanks, I am your obliged humble servant, &c.

l MOST EXTRAORDINAY CUBE EPKtXTEI) BV POTTER’S
Catholicon.—Captain Donely, keeper of the light on
Sopelo and iims’er pilot for Doboy liar, athorizes us to
make known to the public tho following fact of a recent
li ^Xliout a month ago, Thought three bottles of Pot
ter’s Catholicon, for the purpose of testing iis virtues
upon Mr. Peter. M’Culloch, pilot of Dobov Uar, who
had been fqr several years coritinnd to fiis bed and
crutches in consuquencc of diseased litnbs, and ulcerated
foot—the' solos of his feet were in that shocking stato,
that tho bones were pc'rceptiblo both to the sight und
touch. , ' .,
Mr. M’Culloch, after the uso of thrff. rottlf.8 of tho
Catholicon, laid aside his crutches, and was this day
in town attending to his business,in nearly perfect health.

Mr. Wm. W. Pottor—
Dear Sir—I have now but one bottle of Catholicon
lefi. A person arrived this ovening, who came 60 miles
since morning, for 17 bottles of Catholicon, and 'would
havo taken 24; but I could lot him have but 9. Ho
camo 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 threo of tho fam
ily aro invalids, and have paid in ten years, for medical
'advice and medicine, §1,600. .lie sayBtho person who
has used tho two bottles, never found any meuiCjNeto
compare with the CathoucoN, and that the neigh
bours, seeing tho astonishing effects it produced, a num
ber of them sent the above person to procure tho arti-
alp, for various chronic diseases. Tho person told~mo
ho would wait two day, if He could to procure
the two dozen. Will you, without fail, scud me,
or, ifneccsBary, oven come with a few boxes of tho
Catholicon tc Hartford, as I fear delays will tako place
in New York anu New Huven; and as to being out of
tho articlo, 1 cannot think ofit. ' *

TO SFMlEtf.
Thousands of unfortunate seamen are rendered use-
Iks to their country by the ravnges of a devouring dis-
- 1 sc,to which they are more subject than any other class
lien. The case of an unfortunate sailor who either
mrks tit a diseased state, or finds himself so, on a
lot» voyago, must be truly deplprablo; and it may
no! perhaps, be improper to suggest the propriety of
always including the Catholiconin the medicine chests
oftnj Navy and Merchants’ service, it being a sovereign
romldy in tho disease alluded to.

was; ho wanted to gat at some Fish,he being
d Catholio i end it not boing a meat day,—
They wore all Catholics as far as rolatad to
tbo fish, ho aimed at a piece of pudding, but
a fellow had just then drawn tho pudding Up
towards biebody, and had bant tiis arm round
it, so as to form a rampart against all assail
ants. With groat bogging Mr. French
got a piece of pudding about thu size
of an egg. Another gentleman, who was
sitting in the neighborhood of some ealmoo,
of which ho unfortunately happened to bo
vary fond, was preparing his plate for a por
tion in it; but in tho,twinkling of an eye it
was snapped up, tbo gontlcmaii having the
grief to bohold do lees (ban seven persons at
one time driving their knives or spoons into
tbo ealmoD, and (hunting, or endeavoring to
thdrat their plates up to tbo aides-of tho dish.
So quick was this oporatioo, that the waiters
hBdnot litho to put down the sauco, and
when ihe sauce boats came, three in number,
one of thorn was seized hold of by one of tbo
hired brutes,' and the whole of tbo contents
tipped into bis own plato, over tbe eides of
which part of tbo saooe found its way upon
the lablo. A gentleman has told me, end
another told me Ihe same thing in the roon),
that somo of tlio fellows out up tho aspara
gus with tbeir knives, and eat it slumps and
all; wbioh, bnwevor, is not quite so bad as
tbe conduct of a Nova Scotian who'once
came to New York, and .who began eating
tba asparagus at the wrong end. However,
he bad been brougbl.up iu a country where
asparogue does not grow ; there ia not the
same apology to be made for 'those brutes j
and, indeed, if I had not scan it with my own
eyee, no one could have mado me believe
ibat an equal number of really ill-bred, groe-
dy, really hoggish creatures were to ba found
in England ; 1 am sure l|iat ell North Amer
ica, from Quebec to the Golf of Florida,
does not contain, including Hocfci, two hun
dred of such unmonaerly, and groedy, and
iodocont brutes as I saw at tho Crown and
Anchor leal Monday; and these are tbe
wretobes to whom O’Coooell addressed him
self as boing the fair representatives of the
whole of tbe pooplo. of England. There ia
no doubt iu toy miod at all of tbeir liaviog

SUNDAY CONVERSATION.
Jlfr. Editor.—Whether the propensity
aiisaa from malice, or solely from'the lore of
amusement, I am unablo tosay; but certain
it ia, that I have always taken ptoasoba in
witnessing (hose little fallings, which aro-not
unfrcquently found ampng tho;good and kind-
hearted. List Sun'day, ot tho oloae of the
morning ehreitfe, ei I ehanoed. to follow in
(he train of a small family party, an their
way from cburoh, it wae my fortune to over
hear their comments upon tho various sub
jects, suggested by what they had soon, and
heard. The group consiatod of an elderly
gentleman, of grave and formal earriagb, ac
companied by bis wife, a motherly persooago,
of about sixty, who was supported op her left
by n girl end a boy of about sixteen, and a
indy, who appeared to hove reached tbo me
ridian nf her chaims. Tho imagination of,

Hush, chlldt she is u worthy good woman;

years ego, edme next November, ithe lived in
the house, next to oura, with a great green
doer, end a lion’s head upon tbe knocker, so

Whig, and a cane taller than ha Waa, Who used

Yper indeed, J saw her, end so did every
