Mr. Soule’s Expulsion from France.
Highly Interesting Details—Action of the United
Stales Ministers.
Loudon. Friday, Oct. 27.—The steamer of to
morrow will carry the startling intelligence that
Hrs Excellency the Minister of the United States of
America ut the Court of Madrid has been expelled
from France, through which country he was re
turning to his post. The simple narrative oi
such an event is, I think, the best manner ot let
ting you know the extent of the indignation felt
here by every American, without distinction oi
party, and to be felt, no doubt, by all the citizens
of our intentionally insulted Republic; so I give
you the following details:
Mr. Soule, having spent two days in London,
set out last Tuesday for Madrid via Fiance. On
his arrival at Calais, he was asked to show his
l>assports, and, having done so, was requested to
step into an inner room of the Bureau de Police.
Here he was told that he must leave the country
by the next steamer, and that he would not be
allowed in the meanwhile to go anywhere out
of Calais, being, in fact, placed under surveillance.
* There must be a mistake, sir,” said our Min
uter ; “ do you know w ho I am
" There is not the slightest mistake, sir,” was
the reply; "you are Mr, Soule, the Ambassador
of the United States of America to the Court of
Spain, and I have orders not to let you pass."
"Where are your oiders, sir?” asked Mr.
Boule.
“ This is no business of your’s, sir; these or
ders are for me, and I am acting upon them.”
aaid the Commissary.
This happened at Calais. Something more
was said, but of no public concern. Mr. Soule
left by the next steamer, and reached Lon
don late in the evening day before yesterday.—
The news being made known in American cir
cles, the greatest excitement prevailed, and, as
may be imagined, measures ot all sorts were sug
gested amidst great indignation.
The Legation partook, of course, of the general
excitement. I have not had the honor of seeing
Mr. Buchanan since his return, but from all 1
hear, he maintained throughout this irritating af
fair, a dignified resolution to concur in every step
to require due apologies for an insult against our
national honor. The whole morning ot yester
day was spent in consultation, the result of
which was the decision to send over Mr. Sickles,
ia order that he might obtain a real knowledge
«f what that proceeding really meant. It was
thought that the act might have been a mere per- |
tonal affair, capable of such a construction as not
to assume the menacing aspect of an insult from
one power to another. The mission of Mr.
Sickles was, accordingly, to be one of inquiry.—
He was not to push matters to an extreme if the
insulting party should offer explanations that
might be accepted, at least lor the moment, as an
apology to the United States. It was in this
spirit of moderation that Mr. Sickles was to go
yesterday evening to Paris, in order to commu
■tcate the views and the advice of the Legation
in London to that in Paris.
1 must not omit to say that this moderation
was deemed so be out of season by many. The I
outrage was palpable, direct, not to be explained !
away, and consequently not admitting any other I
step, if immediate satisfaction should not be of
fered, than that of the withdrawal of Mr. Mason .
and the whole Legation from France. That act
is the answer of European despotism to the Con- I
gress of American Democratic Diplomatists, it
it were a personal affair, Mr. Soule would not!
have been allowed to enter France on his leav- i
ing Spain, but he was suffered to do so. He
went all over the country—nay moie, he and his i
diplomatic confreres held one of their consulta I
tions on French territory, at Boulogne, so it was
not the man, Mr. Soule, but the Minister Soule, I
to whom the affront has been oflered. Among ;
the many persons who hold this opinion is Mi. ;
Reverdy Johnson, ot Baltimore, who wrote in .
that spirit a very long letter to Mr. Mason. i
These were the arrangements yesterday morn- |
ing. But, sir, Mr. Sickles did not go alter all.— I
He was prevented from doing so by a messenger j
who came over yesterday at noon. Your corres- I
pendent from Paris will probaoly send you his ■
zeport about what he knows, but I give you, at
all events, my account.
Mr. Mason—the news of the Calias outrage
having reached him—went to the Foreign Office,
and wished to see M. Drouyn de IHuys immedi- ■
silely. He was left wailing two full hours. Ad- I
rriitted at last, he remarked, first ot all, upon nis
tardy reception. Some apologies were made, but J
in atone and manner that convinced Mr. Mason I
that he had been left waiting purposely. He
dropped that matter, however, and passed to the
object of his official call, and asked the reason ’
why Mr. Soule had not been permitted to pass ;
through France en route to Spain.
u Weil,” said M. Drouyn de PHuys, in a very i
impertinent tone, "there are reasons for that.”— I
Being pressed for these reasons Mr. Mason was I
told that there were three of them :
First, The treatment of M. Dillon, [French I
Consul in California.
tecond, The letter of Mr. Sanders to the :
French people ; and,
Thirdly, Cuba !
The French Foreign Secretary said that the (
Imperial Government cannot be expected to .
treat in the usual friendly way the citizens of a I
State that has behaved in such a hostile manner I
towards it.
I am told that Mr. Mason replied in the way I
that will have occurred to every one else on be- I
ing told those reasons. He said that the affair ol
Mr. Dillion was, in the worst possible construc
tion, but the mere blunder of a court of justice,
end that it cannot, accordingly, be made parallel
With a case in which the United States ate in
eolted by order ol the highest authonty ol anoth
er State. The letter ol Mr. Sanders was the
act ot ari individual who had, moreover, been
recalled tiom a:i <.lfinal position before tie pub
liahed anything. Ameri.-a.m have the right to
say w! at they I ke, anil the Government has no
Jontrol over their pensand preases. r (l i h H „
personal matter, which could, peihaps, have ex
cured a dneouttesy toward* the Citizen Hand.-is,
if be should have pre.-ented himaeli on the fron
tiers ot France, but it certainly did not author
ize a step like that against the United States
Minister. AatoCuba, Mr. Mason absolutely
denied—it lam wel informed—the right rd any
Power to meddle with difficulties that may have
arisen between Spain and the Unitrd bt. tea. He
at fol events, could not trK how queations of for
eign policy can be treated by affronts offered to
friendly Power The two Ministers parted very
much excited, and Mr. Mason was fully prepared I
to ask for his passports. He sent, however, the ,
special messenger to Mr. Buchanan, before de- ;
ciding upon that step. i
Thus stands the matter now. You shall know .
its continuation by the next mad. I hose who
could not help’ admiring the admirable policy
ofNapoleon 111., whom they considered rather
a great man,” will, 1 hope, feel their enthusi
asm and " respect”somewhat tiininished towards
that honest man. Iris to be hoped that this
[question will be taken up by the people with all
1 the gravity and determinate energy it de.-erves.
lltis to be hoped that the " honor ot the United
[states” will not be made a party question, nor
decided by private sympathies or antipathies
towards a person who happens to represent it,
while it is insulted. 1 have said my opinion,
strongly enough, of Mr. Soule’s objectionable
acts, not to be suspected of writing in his favor.
His principles, in most cases, are not mine, his
policy I deplored very often, and it was yesterday
for the first time that I saw him. But his person
has nothing to do with the very grave affair,
which would have occurred to some other American
Minister, not just now perhaps, but very soon at
all events. He who w rule! judge this matter
from a point of view ol mere personal rancor
towaids the man, is absolutely nrilit to judge the
spirit ol European Cabinets towaids America.
1 have no boubt that our Ministers at the re
spective Courts w ill have sent such information
Ito the Government at Washington,as to inspire
a feeling of manly determination to vindicate
I the honor of the Union. But <-ur Government
I must letnember that this is no Greytown affair.
Noise and bluster are here ot no use. A firm
' adhesion to u duly-weighed resolution to exact a
| full appology for a gross outrge, is the only, best,
■ and sure way to lead to success. It is, in many
1 respects, the heedless and unprincipled policy of
lour Government that has emboldened them—
I sooner than expected—to insult our Republic;
i and it is so much the more the duty of the Caoi
-1 bet to blot out the shame thrown upon the name
lof America by the reckless band ot a fortunate
ciiminal, who calls himself Napoleon 111.
■ [Correspondence of the Savannah Republican.}
Havana, Nov. 10th, 1854.
[ To the Savannah Republican:
Our mail communications being resumed by
the sailing of the Gov. Dudley, gives me this
opportunity of again reporting the current events
of the last tew days.
Since the arrival of Concha, matters have set
; tied, leaving the chronicler but tew events
worthy ot note.
There was on Thursday some rumors afloat of
great political and insurrectionary movements in
Baracoa, with a full conviction that their high
coloring was due to the lively Creole imagina
tions of my informants. I went to the fountain
head, or as near thereto as I could approach, and
found that the truth is this in outline:
1 A schooner, regular trader to the port of Bara
[ coa, arrived with an assorted cargo, some ten or
fifteen days since. Sixteen boxes were landed
i from her surreptitiously; but probably with the
cognizance of the under officeisofthe customs,
bribed to pass them without paying duties; by
' some means it was discovered that they contain
!ed arms, and they were seized—as also the
I schooner on board of which was found ten boxes of
i he same "Merchandize.” The number ot pieces
i I could not ascertain, but they cou d not possibly
| exceed three hundred, and probably did not reach
I two hundred. There is no information of any
1 Creole movement, either consummated or in
[ tended in that or any other section of the Island.
[ General Manzano, the second in command, has
! already left this to investigate all the facts reia
[ tive to this importation. It is utterly impossible
[ that any successful attempt at emancipation from
i Spanish domination can ever be made by the
Creole population of this Island. Although with
j i.ut exception they are rebels at heait, they can
not act in concert, and resort to physical resis-
I tance to their oppressors. The wealthy planters
I very justly fear the destruction of their immense
[ estates, during the servile disturbances which
would inevitably accompany any political action
[on their part. During all the winter months,
l while the dry leaves of the cane cover the ground,
, )he application of a single match to those on the
! windward side of the fields, would raise a con-
I flagration which would sweep over the entire
property, and ruin the most wealthy proprietor.
VVith such prospects before them, we could hard-
I ly expect even of men whose minds were not
reduced to a very low standard by ages of sub
jection, that they should incur certain ruin with
so little prospect of success as their unassisted
effort would promise.
1 hazard nothing in saying that no internal at
tempts at revolution can possibly have any other
> resuits than the destruction of all concerned in
| them. Opportunities have presented themselves
j and have been allowed to pass never to return
I The liberal policy which Concha pursues will
I tend very much to soften down the ill feeling
[ between the Creole and Spaniard and in time
I may make of the former a firm supporter of
I Constitutional Government. It is supposed that
I he has proposed various modifications besides
i those he has already made, and that they will
i receive the approbation of the Ministry so soon
as the Cortes meet. He has taken every oppor
tunity which he has had to say to Americans that
there will be no trammels pit upon our com
merce or upon such peaceable citizens as visit
the Island for health, business or pleasure. That
the necessary police regulations will be made as
little onerous upon visitors as is consistent with
a good system of police. Business bassomewhat
recovered from its prostration under Pezuela’s
measures. It still remains however dull, and no
decided improvement can be hoped lor until the
new crop shall begin to come in. From present
appearances we may expect an early commence- I
meut, and may have new sugar in before the I
close of the year.
On Sunday last Marcos Ipasi committed sui
cide by blowing out his brains with a pistol. He ■
was a merchant ot good standing and I believe
has left his affairs in good condition. The mo
tive is not known. On Tuesday an officer of
the army put an end to his existence in the same
manner. He had been partially insane for some
time previous.
Another attempt at suicide with a pistol was
made under the balcony of the palace; but only
a very slight flesh wound was produced and the
man is recovering. Poverty and partial aberra
tion of mind induced this attempt.
The prisoners continue at work removing the
outer defences of the walls. No attac kha yet
been made upon the wall itself, nor will there
be until the committee shall report upon the
best plan of uniting the inner and outer portions
ot the city. The concession obtained from the
late government to connect the Railroad with
the new warehouses at the Southern termina
tion of the land walls, will probably be annulled,
and the track taken up. This measure will
drive the Railroad Company to a union with the
stores on the opposite side of the bay, or to a
change of their depot to a point on the bay, near
the Gas Works.
Several ol the “jobs” under the late Ministry,
will be broken up, and the parties interested will
be heavy losers, as tew of them have yet realiz
ed any profits.
Our winter visitors are beginning to arrive.—
There are now greater facilities than ever before
< ff'ered for their accommodation. Among the
Hotels, that ol Woolcot & Wyatt, stands high.
I dined there with a friend a lew days, since,
and waa much surprised to see a table laid with
every luxury the city afford-, and the great num
tier <>l dishes prepared in ‘'Yankee” style. Visi
tors n! this Hotel will not be compelled to eat
‘garlic,” but will always find true yankee food
before them. I also examined the rooms an I
louufl that the Spanish cot with two sheets and
a [allow had been replaced, with bedsteads cov■ .
ered with matrasses arid clean linen. XL

Death of Captain John Hunter.
This good old man expired at his residence in
this city last evening, about five o’clock, alter a
somewhat lingering illness, aged eighty
years. We are not enough acquainted with his
history to write many particulars ot Ins ide,
which has been a long and eventful one. He
was born at South Shields, England, and tor
some time was a seaman in the British navy
We have often heaid him recount the incidents
of his service, and among other battles he fought
under Nelson in the engagement off the Nile
when Bonaparte’s great fleet was entirely de
stroyed. . ..
Capt. H. had resided about thirty years in Da
rien and Savannah, and during that time had Ot
ten been entrusted by his follow citizens with
responsible offices, all of which he tilled with
honor. His strict integrity and unwaveiirig
truthfulness won for him the respect and confi
dence of every person with whom he was ac
quainted, and we think he filled to the utmost
the measu'e of an honest man. His life was dis
tinguished by actsof kindness and good will to
[ his fellow creatures, and we believe he leaves
[ no enemy. .
I Capt. Hunter was a man of benevolent feel
ings, ever ready to give to the extent ot ins
means. The subject in which he took most in
terest after his own personal affairs, was Free
Masonry, and he had taken most ol the degrees
known to the Masonic Order, and had Tided ma
ny offices. For several yeais he was legularly
' elected Deputy Grand Master of the Grand
Lodge ot Georgia, and only declined the honor
when his increasing infirmities prevented him
irom performing the duties ol this high office to
his own satisfaction. He has lived for 44 yeais
with his present wife, whom he now leaves
with two grand daughters and a laige circle o!
triends to mourn his loss.— Savannah Republican,

A Speck os' Tkocblk between Fbance
i and England — To the Editor of the London
I Times : Sir—The woids, "in spite ot timid
counsels,” which occur in Louis Napoleon o let
ter ot condolence to Madame de St. Arnaud, pub
lished in the Moniteur, cannot be passed over as
words of slight importance. On the contrary,
they are ol the highest importance. It is impos
sible that they can apply to the French, because,
it the Emperor had been so dissatisfied with the
I timidty uf-anv of his own officers as to be in-
I duced to complain publicly of the character ol
their counsels, he would have taken the shorter
| course ol superseding them. Those words must.
■ therefore,apply to the English, for, however
I great may be the interest of the Turks or the
1 Austrians iu the present contest, it was not lor
I either of them to have an influential voice in
[ deciding on the invasion of the Crimea.
' We have, then, the opinion of our Imperial
i ally, officially proclaimed to the whole world,
I that the counsel of Englishmen touching the :n-
I vasiou of the Crimea was tainted with timidty.
[ A graver charge it is difficult to imagine, 'lhat
I the Emperor preferred it otherwise than as the
i result ol his firm conviction, and after careful
i consideration of its probable effect on all con-
I cerned, it is impossible to suppose. In ordering
| the publication in the Moniteur of those ominous
; words, the Emperor must have intended either
[ to brand with ignominy the character ol one or
. more of our generals or admiials in the Black
I Sea, or to point at senile incapacity.
Whichever was his intention, the duty of the
i Government is clear. They are imperatively
i bound to guard the honor of our army and navy.
They are equally bound to satisfy the nation cu
whatever affects the national honor. Their first
duty is to ascertain the precise meaning and ob
ject of the Imperial accusation. Their next eith
er to refute it or to consign the justly accused to
merited punishment.

i Buying at Home —The people of Cumberland
county, Virginia, held a public meeting and re
solved to buy their goods from the direct impor
ters of Virginia, if goods be offered by them upon
as advantageous terms as those imported through
New York and other Northern cities. They
also resolve to patronize, in preference to all
others, the literary institutions and mechanics
ot their own State, and all that peitains to Vir
ginia’s advancement in the arts, sciences, and
leartied professions, as well as in matters of
i creation and pleasuie. This is a wise and good
; move, worthy to be followed anil zeafouslv ear-
i ied out all over the State. Let the Old Docjjmon
[ be true to herself, think more about her material
j interests than the Resolutions ot : 98, and she
i will be behind none of her sister States in all the
[ elements of a prosperous Commonwealth. —A*i-
| tiemal Intelligencer, 4th inst.
! The same advice, says the N. O. Bulletin, is
[ applicable to nearly all of the Southern States,
I and, if followed, luily and judiciously, would soon
i release the South from her commercial depen-
I dence on the North, besides rendering her affl.i
[ ent and powerful in an astonishing degree. The
[counsel might be made still more comprehensive.
[ It ought to» include home manufacturing, the
: fostering of home industry and every conceiva-
I ble description of avocation, the development o'..
i home resources, the encouragement of homeen
terprises, whether of railroads, steamboat an i
! ship building, steam mills, lice mills, and every
I other occupation wherein honest labor can em
[ ply itself profitably, and add to the aggregate
! wealth at the same time. This is all the South
( wants. Nature has done the rest for us. How
[ long shall we be lackingin these respects? Not
long we ardently hope. The last few years
have witnessed wonderlul improvements, and
we doubt not the future has still greater omens
in store for us.
Cotton Crop.—Extract from a letter of A
intelligent planter to bis factor in Mobile.
Prairie Bluff, Nov. 8, 1854.
“1 have jnst received yours of 30th, and note
what you say about the fine weather, and I sup
pose you ought to have added "no frost.” Think- i
mg you would like to be posted up about these
matters, I will give you my views based upon
my observation. The fine weather has enab'ed
the planters to gather their Crops, and so far has
been of great advantage, but it is has had no et
feet upon the amount of the crop. It is remark
able that no cotton in this region has matured or
opened within the last three weeks.
Upon many plantations, in fact, on all the
lands, there is a good top crop, of bolls, and some
weeks ago we were relying a good deal- upon it,
but now we have been forced to the conclusion
it will never mature, — ; t is too late.
A month ago I [licked over a field, and the c:;'-
culation then made was that it would produce at
least 500 lbs to the acre more. I rode over it
yestetday—there is not 60 lbs open. Cotten
picked two weeks ago has not 25 lbs open on it.
I have been over several plantations and it is
all the same. We have out about 160 in num
ber and 10 or 15 more will close our work. —
Put this down for as much as it is worth.

CHARLESTON, Nov. 17. Cotton— The market
throughout nearly the whole of the preceding week
was in a languid and drooping condition, and
when we closed our inquiries on the ( .‘th inst, most
cualities had suffered a reduction of i a}c ; the
heaviest decline, however, was on the lower grades,
inconsequence, as we before stated, ot their com
parative abundance. Good Middling at the time
was valued at a9jc , and Middling Fair9 j a 9jc.
In the early part of the week under review, the
article was rather neglected. Although buyers
had so recently gained an advantage over sellers,
they were demanding still lower terms, to which
ho! lots were not disposed to submit, and hence the
comparative limited transactions that marked tho
business of the first three days; but some of them
subsequently became more tractable, and accept
ed prices they Lad previously refused to take, and
the operations in:st generally, during the past
three days, have turned in favor of purchasers,
The transactions, however, have been very irregu
lar, and while we are free to admit that iu many
instances they have been made at a slightly re
duced margin, the reduction was not of such a
marked character as to compel us to reduce our
quotations, and we have consequently retained
those current at the close of tho previous week,
whu h, under all tho csreumstanecs, wiL approxi.
ma:o as nearly as possible to the true position ot
the market at itsclo j c yesterday. The receipts of
th : week comprise 16,153 bales, and the sales in
tho same time foot up 6492 bales, ? ineteon hun
dred ot which were sold yesterday. The fol
lowing are the transactions of the week, viz:—

er since the date of our last report, and there has
been a heavy frost, sufficient to form ice, in this
and the adjoining States, which we learn has also
extended over a large portion of the Cotton region.
We have nothing of m erest to communicate in re
lation to Long Cotton. So far as transactions are
concerned, there has not been enough doing to es
tablish a market.
Corn.— The receipts since our last comprise 2000
bushels, a portion of which was of extra quality,
and sold at 87 a 89c., and 1800 bu-hels which are
under limits.
Flour.— The receipts up to this time have been
light and there is, at present, but a very limited
supply on sale, which is held at high prices. The
demand, which has been limited to small lots to
the city trade, has been supplied at prices ranging
from s9l a per bbl.
Baeni— Tho market, which was quite active
throughout the whole of the previous wook, has
relapsed into a very quiet state; at least, we have
come to this conclusion from the smallness of tho
i usinoss reported to us —Tho prices current at the
close of the previous week we renew, which will
give a fair index of the state of tho market at the
close of business, viz: Sides , prime, 8§ a 8$; com

Salt— There have boon no arrivals this week,

been able to learn, have been confined tu the sale

I liy THE STKAMKK AMERICA ]
LI VER FOOL, Oct. 27.—There is a <-onmdon'Mo
advance in the price of Brcndrtuff.«, and it begins
to be apprehended that they will continue U> bu
high during the winter, as no efficient assistance
from Foreign suppliescan bo expected until spring,
the conviction that prices would rule considerably
lower after the harvest wan so general, that few,
if any arrangements were iu .de tor new imports.
Tho bof e that » udne*c would become more active,
was based upon the expectation of moderate pri
ces of food, and it must of necessity undergo much
modification now. Although it is no doubt a great
disappointment that these prices rule so high, yet
there is a great difference between their being
caused oily by a temporary absence of Foreign
supplies, to their being rhe c jnsequonce of a scan
ty harvest. Our farmers having la-go quantities
to dispose of, are now reaping the benefit of it, and
the money is only shifted from one class to anoth
er, remaining in the country. Money is not so
much in demand as has been, but credit has be
come more difficult. There is an uneasy feeling
apparent. Politics continue to absorb much at
tention.
Tho Cotton market is dull in spite of the repent
ed advices from the United Sta*os, oi much dam
age having been done to the crop. The circum
stance of our stocks undergoing now a gradual
diminution, is counteracted by tho general reserve
practised in business, and by the very indifferent
accounts we continue to receive from Manchester.
Holders appear to have lost the heart to wait any
longer for the lung expected improvement, and put
their stocks fairly on the market.

AYER’S PILLS,
A new and singularly successful remedy for tbs*
21. cure of all Bilious diseases Costiyeness, Indi
gestion, Jaundice, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Fevers,
Gout, Humors, Nervousness, Irritability, Inflamma
tions, Headache, Pains in the Breast, Side,
and Limbs, Female complaints, &c.,&c. , Indeed,
very few are the diseases in which a Purgative Medi
cine is not more or less required, and much sick
ness and suffering might be prevented? if
less but effectual Cathartic were more freely usetr-
No person can feel well while a costive habit of
body prevails : besides it soon generates serious and
often fatal diseases, which mignt have been avoided
bv the timely and judicious use of a good purgative
This is alike true of Colds, Feverish symptoms, and
Bilious derangements. They all tend to become oi
produce the deep seated and formidable distempers
which load the hearses all over the land. Hence a
reliable family physic is of the first importance to
the public health, and this Pill has been perfected
with consummate skill to meet that demand. An
extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Proses
sors. and Patients, has shown results surpassing
anything hitherto known of anv medicine. Curee
have been effected beyond belief, were they not sub
stantiated by persons of such exalted position and
character as to forbid the suspicion of untruth.
Among the eminent gentlemen to w'hom we arc
allowed to refer for these facts, are
Prof. Valentine Mott, the distinguished Sur
geon of New York City.
I Doot. A. A. Hayes, Practical Chemist of th<
Port of Boston, and Geologist for the State of Maa
■ sachusetts.
I Ira L. Moore, M. D., an eminent Surgeon and
; Physician, of the City of Loweil, who has long usee
i them in his extensive practice.
11. C. Southwick, Esq., one of the first mcr
; chants in New York City.
C. A. Davis, M. D., Sup’t and Surgeon of the
i United States Marine Hospital, at Chelsea, Mass.
. Did space permit, we could give many hundred
1 -,uch names, from all parts where the ’Pills have
! ocen used, but evidence c-ven more convincing thar.
! the certificates of these eminent public men i:
i shown in their effects upon trial. ,
These Pills, the result of long investigation anc
\ study, .are offered to the public as the best aix
, most complete which the present state of medico?
i science can afford. They are compounded not of
; the drugs themselves, but of the medicinal virtues
: only of Vegetable remedies, extracted by chemical
process, in a state of purity and combined togethei
in such a manner as to insure the best results. Thi«
•jystem of composition for medicines has been found
in the Cherry Pectoral and Pills both, to produce a
more efficient remedy than had hitherto been ob
tained by any process. The reason is perfectly ob
rious. While by the old mode of composition, er
3ry medicine is r urdcned with more or less of acri
monious and injun 'us qualities; by this, each indi
vidual virtue only that is desired for the curative
?H’ect is present. All the inert and obnoxious qual
ties of each substance employed are left behind, the
jurative virtues only being retidned. Hence it is
iclf-cvident the effect should prove as they have
jroved more purely remedial, and the Pills a surer,
more powerful antidote to disease than any other
medicine known to the world.
As it is frequently expedient that my medicine
diould be taken under the counsel of an attending
Physician, and as he could not properly judge of a
•emedy without knowing its composition, 1 have
mpplied the accurate Formula by which both my
Pectoral and Pills are made to the whole body o?
ctitioners in the United States and British Amer-
Provinces. If however there should be any
who has not received them, they will be
' omptly forwarded by mail to his address.
! Os all the Patent Medicines that arc offered, how
few would be taken if their composition was known ’
; I'heir life consists in their mystery. I have nc
1 mysteries.
The composition of my preparations is laid open
to all men, and all who are competent to judge on
the subject, freely acknowledge their conviction’
?f their intrinsic merits. The Cherry Pectoral we
pronounced by scientific men to be a wonderful
medicine before its effects were known. Many em
inent Physicians have declared the same thing of
ray Pills, and even more confidently, and are will
ing to certify that their anticipations were more
than realized by their effects upon trial.
They operate by their powerful influence on the
internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate it
into healthy action remove the obstructions of
the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of th<
body, restoring their irregular action to health, anc
I by correcting wherever they exist such derange
' ments as are the first origin of disease.
1 Being sugar wrapped they are pleasant to take
and being purely vegetable, no harm can arise fron
| their use in any quantity.
