The Shirt Dress and Trowsers’ Ques
tion. — Wo are yet not quite prepared to take
sides on this delicate question—delicate we
mean as to the position wo mo jdaeed by the
appeal of a fair correspondent. We -trust, how
ever, it is no violation of our neutrality to give
what can he said in favor of the innovation.
The following, from the Yankee Blade , contains
so m* very sensible considerations:
The Ns w Costume —We have seen some
specimens of the new female costume, and we
“cave in,” resolving henceforth to go against
petticoats, to the death. To be sure the ab
tiact idea of women wearing pantaloons, at first
staggered u* considerably, but the new costume
when got up with taste, is s ► betoining, and th*-
arguments in its favor so forcible, that w.* can
not resist tllelll. The reform is spreading lik<
a prairie fire, and we could fill columns of on
paper with extracts, showing the instance
where it has been adopted, and the favor with
which it is received. A secret convention of la
dles is in session iu this city, and we have been
so fortunate as t* obtain a copy of their declar
ation of independence in matters of dress which
we nasu-n to lay before out readers. No final
action lias been taken on it, but it will be adop
ted with, perhaps, some slight modifications.
‘•When in the course of human affairs, it, be
com -s wise and expedient for the women of any
nation to throw off their allegiance to the reign
ing fashions of other countries, a due respect to
the opinions of mankind,and regard for the inti-r
----ests of haberdashers generally, renders it prop
er that they should truly state their reason
for asserting independence in reference totheii
dress.
We hold these truths to be indisputable, tb;U
the women of every nation are competent t.
decide tor liii-m.-t-lves the form of their own ap
pa re I, and, especially, that American women an
not bound to muddy their costume accordin-.
to the dictates of the self-constituted leaders of
the civilized world. And as our blind obe
dieiice to the rule <>f these self-constituted lead
ers has entailed upon us numberless wrong
and inconveniences, it is time that we assert tli
rights which God and nature has given us, t.
cast off the sh.iekl-s that have become burden
some and hateful to us.
The foreign clique who have presumed lo giv.
form and color to our habiliments since Arneri
ca became a nation, have with each change o’
toe si a.vjn imposed upon u* in*\v wrongs an
fresh absurdities whose only claim was novelty
and from which none derive benefits, except tii
haberdashers and milliners, with whom on
fashion leaders are leagued.
They have compelled us from time to tint
to array ourselves in the most cumbrous, in
convenient, and absurd costumes.
Tlt-v I iave imposed upon our heads'shov.
scoop hats, hideous in their form, which \v
a I “>t**d with reluctance, and remember wit
disgust.
in \ have appended to our dresses mutto
legged sleeves, that have been a reproach am
by-word ever since tie* spell was removed u.
der which we were induced to wear them.
They h ave saddled upon us enormous bu
ties, which deformed our shapes, and were a
insult to our Maker who upon finishing th
works of his hand-, pronounced them “good. 1
They have burdened us with voluniinou
“skirt-,” whose object is,—if they mean an
thing,— to conceal from the world a fact whil
om- Ci ‘ ator intended should be known, that tc
have legs.
They have exposed our feet and ancles t
cold, and impness, mud and dirt, by shoes pn-pos
terously thin, and petticoats and dresses ritlieu
lously long.
1 hey have imposed upon us the disagree;!
hi * and unthankful task of sweeping tin* sid
and cross walks of our streets, at the risk o
health and cleanliness—the only alternative in
voicing an immodest exposure of stockings—
-1 hey have loaded our hips with burdens
uncomfortable, and injurious to health, thereto
in-hieing disease of the kidneys, and spinal com
plaints.
1 in-y have compressed our waists and chest
in such a manner, that natural and healthy re
spiruliou is impossible, and by reason of which,
consumption is frequently brought upon tin
most healthy constitutions.
Tln-v have retarded and checked she devel
opment of the human species, and vitiated the
natural beauty of the female form.
They have caused us to give birth to we::k
and puny children, which either die in baby
hood, or live to drag out an imperfect exig
ence.
They have robbed our cheeks of their roses
before our prime, and plunged millions into
j ir .... irr;iVi'S.
Against these wrongs we have from time to
time protested, indix iduaby, although no organ
i/.i u I- sistaiice lias been opposed to this tide of
criminal absurdities and extravagancies,by us.
The press and the pulpit have from time to
time, uttered tln-ir warnings to us, and deuun
c ations against, those whose spells were upon
us, but all in vain. In vain has the sepulchre
lifted its voice against the desecration of the
“temple of the l>odv,” by these ministers of the
G “ Fi-hioi,
They have mocked our grief when we wept
overwur beautiful ones, consigned to the charnel
house in the bloom of womanhood, by their
cruel edicts. They have even triumphed in our
and •uk.i.uu by shaping uur mourning liahiii
iiicuts according to the very fashions which have
murdered by inches our dear filters !
llnd-r these circumstances, then, as rational
and responsible beings, as women, and as Amer
can women, we feel that to submit longer to
this cruel foreign domination, is a crime against
God and humanity, and that our nation will
never be truly independent until its women
throw oil’ the chains which the foreign leaders
of fashion hare imposed on us.’’
‘•Fire in Che Rear,”
OR, “BILL JONES AMONG THE GIRLS.’’
The following racy story will l>e read with
interest by all, except, perhaps, the fastidious
young ladies who dress the legs of (heir pianos
and table# in pantalettes. We would recom
mend such to skip this article.— Yankee Blade.
“Old Squire Parish was an hospitable old
soul. Every Friday evening it was the delight
of the girls of the Academy and the boys of
Schools and College, to go out to old Squire
Parish's farm, about six miles from town, and
stroll in the woods, bathe in the creek, search
the hen’s nests, and turn everything about th,
premises upside down. And old Squire Par
ish would sit in his chimney corner, pipe in
mouth, and tell them stories about the first set
tlement of the country, ami how ‘Old Hickory,’
whipped the Indians—for the old Squire had
been in Jackson's army—and never let the boys
off without at least one story about the ‘old
man,’ as the .Squire delighted to call the Gener
al. * * * * *
Ope Saturday, about the middle of the after
noon, Bill .fonts*, —a wild harum seni um young
fellow of some sixteen summers—rode up to
the Squire’s dotr, and (tailed the house. Ill
summons was answered bv that black young
lascal Josh who told Jones that the boys were
gone squirrel hunting ; ‘but you better believe,
Mass Bill ’ continued Jo b, that the gals is car
rvingon high. Why, Mass Bill, you can hear
them squealing clean up here.’
Jones soon learned that the girls had gone
to their usual bathing place, which was at tin
f ♦ of a high precipice, and only approached on
. that side by h solitary foot-path, which wa
ft guarded by Dinah, On other side of the creek,
W * a broad sand bank, so that no one could ap
’■oach it without being seen, Jones had been
to the Squire’s house so often that he knew all
Ins stories *by heart,’and it was almost impos
sible to find tile boys in the woods, so he deter
mined to have some fun out of the girls. Atiout
a quarter of a mile up the creek lived ‘Old Auut
Judy,’ and there Jouesaud his attendant, Josh,
immediately proceeded. While Joib weut to
the old woman, and for a fu pence purchased
the largest gourd in her possession, Jones slip
ped behind the garden and threw off his clothes,
then cutting off enough of the haudled-end to
admit his head, and making two holes for his,
eyes, he slipped it on his head and jumped into
the stream. soon as the gourd reached the
point above the bathing place, it commenced
floating towards the shore until within a few
yards of the bathers, when it drifted against
•i limb which overhung the stream, and lodged
If Jones had loik*-d through the loopholes, (he

that would have made the gourd itself blush

ternately squatting down and rising up on their
heels, and imitating the cry of the Dull frog and
when one would say ‘chug!’ they would all
plunge into the water, frog fashion. At anoth

vhile a third party were leading a little girl by
force, into tile water, a eov damsel who had
been too modest to undress before so many
folks. But Jones* gourd did not long remain
unnotic -d in the water and the damsel who
spied it. and sailed up to it, and seized it, and
with slight resistance it came off, and disclosed
i.ho curly head of Bill Jones! Miss Betsey
creamed and Bill Jones yelled ! Miss Betsey
and the other bathers rushed up to the hank
and Jones, in his fright and confusion, followed
them. Here the girls turned on him, seized
him, threw him on his face, t wined his arms
round a sapling and having bound his hands
with a ’kerchief, Jones lay defenceless in the
>o wer of his captors. The gil ls now leisurely
dressed themselves, and then each provided
lierseli with a trim larch or willow rod, and
without further ceremony, began applying them
o the hack, sides, and legs of poor Jones; Jones
twisted, and Jones writhed; lie drew himself
up, and bespread himself out; he begged and
prayed. But in vain. His captors were in

Swallows in the Crystal Palace.
Prince Albert pushed his cutlet and tomato
•mice from before him and rose up from the
•reakfast table, apparently too troubled in spirit
o eat.
Her Majesty noticed the act, and inquired ■
lie cause.
“Those confounded sparrows!” cried, the
Prince, with great distress—“we can’t get them
out! ’
“< >h, sit down and eat vour breakfast,” inter
posed Her Maj -sty. soothingly, “and I’ll write
ail order to the Horse Guards to send up a whole
•eginieiit of the line to shoot them.”
The Prince groaned out.
•‘Oh.no! the cure would be worse than the
disease—they’d break all the glass.”
The Queen saw and felt for his distress. “I
never liked the Exhibition,’’ she thought; “but
it is his hobby, and I must not let these stupid
little sparrows make him unhappy.’’
So she sat down at the escritorie, and taking
up a good pen, wrote a notice to the Premier,
requiring his attendance at Buckingham Pal
ace. As the royal messenger was sent da-hing
it top-speed into Chesliam Place, people said
’was another crisis, but ’twasn't
•‘What’s the matter, your Majesty?’’cried the
Premier, making his appearance, pale, and out
of breath.
‘ The sparrows,” said Her Majesty, “in the
Crystal Palace.”
And as she spoke, she nodded her head to
Pi inee Albert, who was walking about at the up
per part of the room, and striking Ins foreln-ad
and minding no one, his mind being occupied
with the one sad thought.
‘ You know we can’t shoot them, Lord John,’’
observed Her Majesty, “or Pd soon silence them
with a park of artillery.’’
“No, your Majesty,” mused the First Lord
of the Treasury, biting hi- nails; and after a
pause, lie added, we mast net them /”
The Queen clapped her hands in glee. “Al
bert, A ID-it,” she exclaimed, don’t fret—
“ Lord Jolm lias found a remedy— we'll net
them /”
“Nonsense,” retorted the Prince Consort,
rather gruffly and ungratefully, “you can’t—the
place is too large,”
Her Majesty’s face fell at once, as she mourn
fully repeated her Consort's words, “ ‘tis too
large, John—think again.’’
Lord John bit his nails, and thought again.
“1 have it,” said he, after a longer meditation
than before.
The Queen's eyes sparkled. “ Have you ?”
cried she, in ecstacy. “What, Lord John—do
please say at once!”
“Fumigate the place —ainoke them witli sul
phur ”
“Capital!” cried the Queen. “Albert, Al
bert !” she shouted out once more, * we have it
this time—we’ I smother them.”
“Can't!” retorted Saxo Gotha and Coburg,
‘I thought of that myself—but ’twoift do.
Stink all the goods, and spoil them.”
The Queen looked miserable once more, and
begged of her Prime Minister to think again,
but he couldn't, and left the Palace.
The Bishop of London now called by chance,
and Her Majesty at once consulted him. Bloom
held was always a courtier; he looked wi-.e,
avowed his service over and over, and said
’ he and go home and look at the canons of the
Ch u rcn.”
“Don t mind it” interposed her Majesty;
vour canons always make a dreadful noise, but
take no eff-ct. ’
Still Prim e Albert Sept pacing up and down,
and groaning out ejaculations from time to
time, about these confound -d sparrows, and ev
ery groan sent a pang to Her Majesty’s heart.
“I have determined,” she exclaimed, “I’ll send
for the Duke.”
Another letter, and another courier to boar
it to Apsley House. The royal missive ran
thus ;
“My Dear Duke:—Do come at once; my
kind and true friend in every emergency. Al
bert is in sad taking about these horrid sparrows
that have got into the Exhibition building.
You can do everything ; you cau help Ui to get
them out. Ever yours, V. R,’>
, The Duke was standing at the window when
-the royal mess, nger alighted at the door. lie
knew the man by his livery. “Humph !” cried
he, ‘ I hope Russell is not in one of his resigna
tion tits.” He took the letter oft - the silver dish
and opened it. He seemed annoyed, and im
mediately sat down in a pet to write.
“F. M. the Duke of Wellington presents his
loyal duty to his sovereign. F. M. the L>uke
of Wellington w Commatider in-Chief of her
Majesty’s land forces, and, as such, thinks the
upon which he is summoned, out of his
province. F. M. the Duke of Wellington is not
a bird catcher. F. M. the Duke of Wellington
understands there are several following this line
of life in the neighborhood of the Seven Dials,
to whom, if it be her Majesty’s pleasure, lie will
make known the royal request. F. M. the Duke
of Wellington has had considerable experience
in capturing French eagles, but none in taking
English sparrows.”
His Grace read the note —gave a grim smile,
then repented, tore it, and ordering his horse
said he would be at Buckingham Palace in
twenty minutes.
The Prince was still walking about, restless,
when the Duke arrived.
The Queen and the Prince all but jumped
into his arms, and reminded him of Quatre
Bras.
“Oh, last and best resort of difficulty and
danger! what do you suggest?” ejaculated the
sovereign.
“A Sparrow-llawk,” said the Duke bowing.
“Oh, ever fertile in resources,” exclaimed tin-
Prince, “to place a difficulty before you is to
have a remedy. We'll have the sparrow hawk-,”
he added.
“We will,” said the Queen. And an exten
sive order for sparrow hawks was immediately
issued.
In the meantime, the twittering colony of the
Crystal Palace were not unconscious of what
was taking place at its Buckingham neighbor,
and had a couple of messengers of their own
flying la-tween the “two houses,” bearing hour
ly intelligence of the consultations held for
turning them out of office. Thus, when Lord
John Russell was with her Majesty, a clever,
sharp-eared sparrow alighted on the sill of the
window outside, and overheard the whole of the
conversation. As soon as the Premier depar
ted, Master Sparrow was back again, and gliding
in through one of the ventilators, was soon tel
ling tin- whole story to a council of veteran twit
terers assembled in one of the highest branches.
The council was presided over bva gray-ln ad-d
>ld sj arrow, the Nestor of tin- many flocks that
flitted about the Crystal Palace.
When the young sparrow had told all that
Lord John had sad, “Pshaw!” cried the Presi
dent of the 0< u icil. *‘M -t us; and we, for
sooth, are fool- enough to go into the net-,
while we have plenty of room to avoid them—
Lord John has seen his best days. Unless tln-v
can get a better counsellor than that, we ll both
er Prince Albert and his brother Commission
ers, ami break up their boasted Exhibition,”
and all tln-se sparrows laughed and twittered,
■•uid provok'd the Commissioners, who happen
ed to be underneath, and who cried out with
more vehemence than ever, “Hang these spar
rows!” Another messenger sparrow flew in
amongst the feathered council:
“The Bishop of London lias just left Her Ma
jesty, and is going to eject us by Canon Law.”
A provokingly mirthful outburst of twitter
ing followed the announcement.
“ The Bishop of London has enough to do to
mind his own business,” said the veteran spar
row. ‘ Let him first get some strange birds out
of his own diocese, and then come to disturb
us. But lie had better not throw stones at us
—ours is not only the glass Palace. I think
we need not make ourselves uneasy, but go on
building our nests.”
“We needn’t,” cried all the sparrows from
all the branches, “we’ll stay where we are.”
“Tile Duke is sent for,” exclaimed another
’ messenger sparrow, making his appearance, and
with some sign of trepidation, ‘
“ The Duke!” repeated they ; but there was
no banter in their twitter now.
But the President of the sparrows’ Council
still put a hold face on the matter, and said, in
a boastful tone, “The Duke would find that In
had not a Napoleon to deal with this time;”
nevertheless, the sparrows were noticed not t*
go on as busily with their nests building as be
fore, when a fourth messenger flew in, and said
lie had just overheard the Duke suggest “ a
sparrow hawk.”
“Then Pm off!” exclaimed the veteran Pres
ident of the Council, popping out through a
ventilator. “ That horrid old Duke—l was
afaid he would hit upon an expedient.”
WOMEN AND DANCING.
J’he following humorous extract is from a
late novel n| Dr. Lever, author of Charles
O’Malley, Ace. &c.
“ I believe a woman would do a great deal
for a dance. ’ >aid Dr. Growling; “they ate
immensely loud oi saltatory motion. I remem
her once in my life 1 used to flirt with one wh
was a great favorite in a provincial town where
1 lived and confided to me she had no stock
ings to appear in, and wiilcmt them her pres
ence at the ball was out of the question.”
“That was a hint for you to buy the stock
ings,” said D.ck.
“No; you’re out,” said Growling. “ She
knew that 1 was as poor as herself; hut though
she could not rely on my purse, she had even
confidence in my taste and judgement, and con
sulted me on a plan she formed for going to the
ball in proper twig. Now what do you think it
was?”
“To go in cotton, I suppose,’’ leturned
Dick.
“Out again, sir—you’d never guess it; and
only a woman could have hit on the expedient.
It was lhe fashion m those days for ladies in
lull dresses to wear pink stockinga,aud she pro
posed painting her legs!”
“Painting her legs!” they all exclaimed.
“ 1’ act, sir,” said the Doctor, “and she ie
lied oil me for telling her ifthe cheat was sue
cessliil.”
“ And was it?” asked Durify.
“ Don’t he in a hurry, Pom. I complied on
one condition, namely—that I should he the
painter.”
‘ Oh, you old rascal!” said Dick.
4 A capital bargain,” said Durify.
“ But not a safe covenant,” added the attor
ney.
” Don’t interrupt me, gentlemen,” said the
doctor “l got some rose pink, accordingly,
and I defy all the hosiers in Nottingham to
make a lighter fit than I did on little Jenuv :
and a prettier pair of stockings I never saw.”
“ And she weut to the (mil ?*’ said Dick.
“She did.”
“ And the trick succeeded inquired Dmi
iy’
“ So completely,” said the doctor, “ that sev
eral ladies asked her to recomend her dyer to
them. So you see what a woman will and > logo
io a dance. Poor little Jenny ! she was a merry
minx—by the by, she boxed my ear that night
for a joke I made about the stocking*. ‘Jenny

“ Not Worth While. —Some months ago,
a country gentleman, who sometimes acts in
an editorial capacity for a newspaper in
was present at a railroad festival in a thri
ving village in New England, where, among a
motley crowd of people, titty or sixty editors
and attaches of the press were gathered. At
the ball, which succeeded the regular exer
cises of the occasion, the person, and whom
like the hero of Lamb’s unlucky farce, we shall
call “Mr. H.,” invited two or three gentlemen
of the corps editorial logo with him to the re
freshment room in the rear of the mammoth
tent where the ball was held, and ‘take a drink.’
Phe guests, one of whom was a Boston editor,
accompanied the hospitable and generous Mr.
11. to the bar with an alacrity quite worthy ol
the profession in the driest times and places.
Cham ague being agreed upon, at ihe instance
of Mr. H-, as the thing to be‘'pot down by the
purer ol (he press,” the gentleman walked up
to the bar-keeper, while the guests stood mod
estly in the rear. Presently Mr. H. turned
around with a disappointed air. and said— ‘ it’s
no go, gentlemen; I asked him for some cham
pagne—a glass for each on us—but he fays he
won't sell l<‘ss’n a bottle! I don’t stand the

A SAFE and certain cure for Conglis, cold.-.
Croup, Asthma, Consumption of the Lungs,
Spitting ol Blood, Bronchitis, Hooping Cough, and
all Pulmonary affections;
CT A Lovely Young Lady Cured of
Consumption! 5
The following is from the pen of VVm. H. Levi*
son, Esq., the distinguised editor of the United
States Military and Naval Argus, under date New
York, January 26,1850. What could be more con
clusive?
‘lt is seldom we permit ourselves to occupy a
space in these columns to speak in praise of any
article in the patent medicine way; that when we
see the life of lellow-creature saved by the use ol
any medicine whatever, we consider it as our
right, if not our duty, to “ive a simple statement o’
‘ads, that others may, in like manner, be benefit
led. The case which has induced us to pen this
article was that of a young iady of our acquain
tance, who by frequent exposure to the night air.
contracted a Cold which settled on the Lungs be
iore its ravages could be stayed. (This occitred
iwo years ago this winter.) Various remedies
were used, hut with very little effect or benefit.—
Che Cough grew worse, with copious expec.tora
tion. and the sunken eye, and pale, hollow cheek
told plainly that pulmonary disease w ; us doing it.-
worst on her delicate frame. The family physi
cian was consulted, and although he would not ad
mit to tli? young lady that she really had the Con
sumption, yet lie would give no encouragement as
to a cure. At this crisis her mother was persuad
ed to make use of a bottle of Dr. Rogers’ Com
pound Syrup of Liverwort and Tar, and wear*
nappy to state she was perfectly cured in lees than
three months by this medicine alone, alter even
hope was destroyed. It is useless to comment on
such a i ae as this, lor the simple truth will reach
where polished fiction never can. If any doubt
the authority of this statement, I°t them call at
ihisolfiee.— 11. S. Military and Naval Argus, No

We tiave heard of several important cures recent

Head the following testimony from a Physician.
Gentlemen: —Yout Hebrew Plaster has cured
me of pains of which I have suffered for twelve
vears past. During this period l labored under an
affliction of my loins and side, and tried many re
medies that iny own medical experience suggested,
out without obtaining relief. At length 1 used your
Plaster, and am now by its good effects entirely
cured. 1 will recommend the Jew David or He

its use. Yours, truly,

Convulsive Fits Cured!
GEORGIA: \ 1 hereby certify that in the Bpring of 1845
Jasper County. )my negro girl Charily was attacked with
convulsive fits, which continued to increase on her, notwith
standing all the efforts of some of ottr best Mineral Doctors
in thisregion. Deeming the case hopeless with them, (con
cluded to carry her to Macon and put her under the treatment
of Dr. M. 8. Thomson, who gave her medicine some two or
three months, which stopped them for about 18 months, at
which time they returned with increased violence, so severe,
indeed, that I and an eminent physician in tbe neighborhood de
spaired of her life. Under these circumstances the Doctor a
gain advised me to call on Dr. Thomson, w hich I did and ob
tained a portion of medicine, which, I am pleased to be able to
say entirely cured her. Tin last she had continued from aorae
7 to 9 hours or more and was very severe, but they have not
recurred since, a period of over three years.
Given under my band and seal, this 21st November 1850.

Fits cured without seeing the Patient!!
Jones Cos. Ga. 7th Eeb. 1851.
This may certify that my negro woman Martha, (now be
longing to Ferdinand Finney.) was severely attacked with Ep
ilepsy, or convulsive fits in 1847, which continued to return
every week or two, and sometimes continued on her for a
week at a time, during which she would have as many asfor
ty or fifty on a stretch, liefcre stopping. Inliiis stale she con
tinued for a w hole year, notwithstanding all/Dr. Ridley of
Hillsboro, could do. Despairing at last of his success, and
hearing of tbe unprnielled cures effected by Dr. M. S. Thom
son of Macon, I concluded to call on him, which 1 did, and
irave him her symptoms when he prepared and gave me med
icine, which in about two months entirely cured her. as-he
lias had n-*ne since and is now perfect) healthy, thus adding
another to the many cures the Doctor has effected without
seeing the patient.

Syphilis, Rheumatism & Liver lomplaiut
Cured without seeing the Patient!
Jones Cos. Ga. 21st. Sept. 1850.
Dr. M. S. Thomson —Dear Sir: Your success has been
such in curing my son of Rheumatism and my negro woman
of liver disease. Rheumatism, Syphilis Ac. that I cannot re
frain from giving you the credit that is due you, for your
iikiil, and if you think that a statement of the cases will be
any use in directing other sufferers, to the proper remcd.es,
the following rel tion of facts is at your disposal.
Some 14 years ago, my negro woman Rliody was taken in
a lingering way, supposed to be caused from Syphilis, treated
by herself, which on discovering, I put her under the care
of ieveral mineral physicians, Drs. Little aud White of Mil
ledgeville. especially, who after mercurializing her a year or
o. left her worse than they found her, laboring in addition
under Mercurial Rheumatism.
I then applied to Dr. Woodruff, who treated, and I thought
cured her, but after a while, she became worse again, so
much so that I despaired of relieving her. Under these cir
cumstances I applied to you, and I am pleased to be able to
report, that notwithstanding it is a longtime ago, she lias had
no return of her disease since, but is now doing me very good
service.
The case of my son was one of Mercurial Rhemarisin ari
sing from salivation for a fever. After keeping lingering for
ihree or four years, and getting worse all the time, till his
limbs were drawn andstiffened very much; notwithstanding
all that wecould do, he continued thus till we applied to you
when you soon relieved him, and t am happy to lie able to re
port tint consider him relieved cured, and lias been so twelve
months.
In conclusion, dear sir, go on and pros[>er.you may have ene.
mien, as who that is any account has not, but success in curiug
such desperate case- must (tear you up, and ih .t your success
may be commensurate with your merits is the earnest wish of
yours truly, GILLIS WRIGHT.
Tile undersigned continues his treatment of all manner of
chronic forms of disease, through the mail, the facilities of
which have tieen much enhanced since the introduction of
‘he cheap post age system, which will be greatly increased by
the recent Act of Congress.
The afflicted, no matter where they reside, by sending a
statement of the symptoms of their cases in writing, may
have Medicines to suit them compounded and sent, and might
count upon receiving it with the same certainty that they
would a letter. That tlrey can b ■ cured without a personal
interview arid examination, is strange, but that hundreds on
thus cured, is no more strange than true.
In order that alt, the poor as well as the rich, may enjoy the
benefits resulting from his treatment, the subscriber puts his

ference, to all those who are Me to pay, and freely and grat
uitously to those who are not, provided they pay theirpostage.
I'is Infirmary is open for the reception of Negroes; and for
other cases requiring his [icrsonal attention, City accommoda

ID still continues the treatment of acute cases, in town or
in the immediate surrounding country, !it cannot leave the
city to go long distances except in cases of most urgent neces
sity. Being (-assessed of some of the latest improvements in
surgicnl apparatus, he is prepared to treat fractures, disloca
tions, &c. in a manner superior to the plans usually adopt
ed and calculated to succeed in many instances when these
