4 MONO the numerous complaints with which the
ySI human family are articled, none are more common
than coughs’ colds, Sec. and none more fatai in their re
sults, unless timely care is taken to stop their progress
before they become too firmly seated upon the lungs.—
Notwithstanding the many remedies that have been of
fered to the public, not any have heretofore proved sue
ceessful in procuring a certain anil speedy relief.
The proprietor having been an eye witness (for sever
al years) of the astonishing virtues of this extraordinary
Medicine, at length deems it his duty to offer it to the
public, in a wav that it may receive a more extensive
circulation : and at a price that the poor may receive the
benefit of it as well us the rich.
This syrup is particularly cfficatious in removing
coughs arising colds, attended with hoarseness and sore
ness about the windpipe; likewise shortness ol breath
ing, tightness ncros the breaht, accompanied with a
tickling cough: and in all consumptive cases its use is
oarticuiarlv recommended, likewise whooping cough is
Ireatly relieved by its use—children !« boring under this
distressing diacasi, in innumerable instances have been
astonishingly oenelitted in a few days: the pleasentness
of it is a great advantage, as children will take it w ith
as much pleasure as they will preserves.

Dr. Scitlilßl i Celebrated Eye Water for In
fiamntiok and Weakness of the Eyes.
f| til E great advantages of this infalible remedy places
J it as a general appendage to families, and a con
stant vade-tnet um to the traveller. This Eye Water is
prepared with the greatest care, and has never been
known to fail in effecting a speedy and safe restoration
of the diseased organs. It is useless to attach any cer
tificates by way of praise or recommendation. The
reputation and immense sale that has attended Dr.
Scudder’s Eye Water, is the fairest proof of its utility
and beneficial tendency ; it has been the means of
preserving sight to many of die afflicted, from the help
less infant to the aged parent. Thousands of letters
have been received by I)r. S. within these few years,
containing flattering remarks relative to this Eye Wa
rn—and die cures effected by it, have been set forth ns
wonderful beyond precedent. Dr. Scudder confidently
recommends this Eye Water as a safe and valuable
remedy—and he trust that his experience as an Oecu
list, to weigh against the gross impositions which are

MISCELLANY,
SILK CULTURE.
Richmond, Dec. 22, 1838.
My Dear Sir: —l want to make anew year’s pres
ent to my subscribers, in the shape of a Communica
tion on the Mulberry and the Silk Worm. 1 look to
you far the Gift Knowing your experience, and hav
ing, as you know, great confidence in your judgement
I ask you to answer as soon as your leisure will per.
init, the follow ing questions:
Ist What are the advantages of the Morus Multi*
caulis I—that is to say, is it the best mulberry tor
f.-eding the silk worm —tlie earliest to be projiagateJ,
&c. &c I
2d. How many lbs. of leaves do you estimate ran
be raised on an acre of ground, the first year, in out
climate—how many the 2d year, icc. &c.l
3d. How many lbs. of silk do you suppose can be
raised to the acre of the Morus Multicaulis?—and
what is the value (average) of the cocoons to the lb.!
4th. What is the best mode of propagating this mul
berry 1 and on w hat sort of soil !
sth. Is this species of mulberry really the Multirau
lis 1 that is, does it flourish like the filbert bush, or
will it grow into a tree, like any other species of mul
berry? And in what state, (bush or tree.) is it most
NO. 14
usefu I ?'
Gth. Has the Morus Multicaulis any othrr recom
mendations, besides furnishing leaves for the silk
worm ?—that is to say, can it he used for timber—for
feeding cattle—and for enriching the ground ! If you
have made any experiments, in either of these ways,
please state them.
7th. Will the Morus Multicaulis flourish as well, or
better, in our climate, than further North ?
Bth, Does the silk worm thrive with us as well, or
better than to the North ?
9th. Is the present demand for the Morus Multicau
lis a mere humbug, or is it destined to become a |*-r
--inanent object of value ? And would you soberly re
commend your agr.cultural friends in \ irginia to go
into the cultivation of tbe tree!
10th. Do you really believe that the silk Culture is
destined, from our climate, capacity for raising the food
of the worm, and other causes, to become a useful sub
ject, to which we may devote our capital? Give me
your ideas fully upon this subject.
11th. Have you raised the silk worm at all ? What
species is the best ? And how many generations can
be raised in our climate, in the course of the year ?
I beg your attention, indeed to tbe whole subject—
and ask from your experience and reading, us full a
memoir as you can furnish. Yours, truly.
THOMAS RITCHIE.
Sidney, (Henrico C 0.,) 29th Dec. 1839.
Dear Sir:—Yours of the 22d, in which you ask
sundry questions concerning the Morus Multicaulis,
and the rearing of Silk, in this State, is now before mo
and I proceed to answer your queries as far as my ex
perience and information upon the subject extend;
To your first question, I answer, that it is tbe best
kind of Mulberry for feeding worms, for several rea
sons : It alfords a larger amount of leaves than any
other kind. The leaves may lie gathered for l-sth of
the expense required by any other variety ; the silk is
of supeiiot quality ; a stronger fibre, aud more easily
reeled ; and witir regard to its projiegation, it is more
easily propagated than any variety known to uie.
2d. With tegard to this question, I have not much
experience but according to tbe best information I can
obtain, from sources to be r lied on, I attswer, that from
otto acre, may be gathered the first season they arc
planted, 1,000 lbs. and will increase perhaps l-3d to
1-* annually, fin scveiul yCJIS. 0,000 IDS. have tX'CII
taken from an acre, when tbe trees were live years old
or in that proportion.
3d. As to this question, I cannot say much from my
own experience; but, I have taken pains to acquire tbs
most accurate information upon the subject, and I
find, that an acre planted with cuttings us 2 buds each
wilt alibi'd the Ist season after planting, from 80 to
100 lbs. of silk, and at tbe age of five years, from 375
to 400 lbs. of reeled silk—the value of which is $5 to
£0 per lb. As to the value of cocoons per lb., I have
no Certain iufurmatiod, but find that it is considered
profitable to reel them, instead of selling' litem in thut
state.
4th. As to propagation. Let the ground be prop*
erly prepared by ploughing and harrowing; take cut
tings of 2 buds each, and insert them in the ground
their full length, with the upper bud a little under the
surface of the earth; after they commence growing, the
utmost care should be taken to keep them clear of
grass and weeds, and the ground kept light and open,
by frequently running a cultivator lietwecn the rows,
which may lie 4 feet or any other convenient distanco
apart, and Cto 18 inches in the row. As to the soil—
They will grow well in any rich land ; but, for the pur
pose of raising silk, a light, sandy or gravelly soil is
considered preferable.
4 th. As I consider this question of more than ordin
ary importance, I will endeavoi to answer it fully.
This variety was introduced into France in the year
1821, where it received the nane of Multicaulis. In
1827, it was introduced into the United States under
this name: but, unless it be cut down either by frost
or the knife, it will not in any instance become a Mul
ticaulis, but w ill, when pruned and treated as another
tree, become as large a tree as any other variety of the
Mulberry. I cousidcr tins fact abundantly proved by
trees now in my possession, which aie only seven
years old from the cutlings, and now measures 18 in
ches in circumference, one foot above the ground, and
their trunks 10 to 12 feetin hight.—ln its nature, the
Mulberry is altogether different from the Filbert or Ha
zel, as it will never throw up a stem or bud from its
roots. For the purpose of raising silk it is most valua
ble as the bush, as in th's state the leaves can be gath
ered with more facility than from large trees.
6th. Another important question this. I believe it
has been long and generally known, that our native
mulberry is one of the most valuable timber trees, pro
ducing the most durable posts, rails, Ac., and from
my observations and comparison of the wood of the
two trees, I feel confident that the Morus Multicaulis
will prove equally as valuable as the native, for timber
or any other purposes to which it is applied.
As to the leaves being valuable for feeding cattle,l
have had occasion to know that fact; for early after I
commenced raising the trees, my stock of tress accunrel
ated beyond the then demand— and as they remained,
several years in the ground, they afforded a great quan
tity of leaves and young branches, which I was in the
daily habit of having cut otl’and feeding to my milch
cows. I found them to be fond of them, and to thrive
well upon them. 1 also found a decided increase in
the quantity of milk, as well as a great improvement in
the quality of it.
As to their enriching land upon which they grow it
was during those several years that my trees remained
upon the same ground, that I discovered their fertili
zing qualities, since which I have had sufficient evi
dence that they invariably improved every spot of land
upon which I liavg planted them— owing I suppose, to
the dense shade which they produce, and the great
quantity of leaves which they return to the earth, and
which are unlike ordinary leaves, as they always rot in
a very short period after they fall ujion the ground, and
arc not blown away from the land upon which they
grow, as most other leaves are.
7th. Owing perhaps, to the fact, tl at in our elinato
the warm season is longer than it is to the North, the
Morus Multicaulis will in one season acquire a greater
height than it will to the North, and produce a greater
abundance of foilage when planted in similar land ;
and for the same reason they flourish more rapidly far
ther f oulh than they do here.
This question I am not alrlo to answer very explicit
ly. I know from experience, that they tnr.ve in this
climate remarkably well, and from the report of others
entitled to credit, I understand they succeed very -veil
as far North as Massachusetts— but I cannot say in
w hich climate they succeed best.
9th. Whilst I do not think that the present great
demand and, consequent high prices paid fee the Mo
rus Multicaulis, is natural, yet I do not Blink the sub
ject a mere AtDiiftiqg; but on the contrary, I Mirvn
the subject to lie one of great importance to tliistkatr
