In general terms, it is recommended in all those diseases which arise from impurities of the blood, or vitiation of the humors, of whatever name or kind. Some of the above complaints may require some assistant applications, which the crcumstancos of the ease will dictate; but for a general remedy or Purifi entor to remove the cause, The Indian’s Panacea will gen-'rally be iound sufficient.

For, like a broken phial, thou Thine odours on tiie air doth pour, They are thv passing spirit, now That earth shai! claim and hold no more !

HALSIED ATV THOU OF ‘INVESTIGATION.’ ‘What! Eilen in (ears! This is some thing quite netv'exclaimed a gentle and sweet-toned voice, !o a lovely JiHle Kir], who kneeling before a mstie seat,* with iTer head resting on her arms, was crying bitterly. ‘Why do you weep so, my child? What can have occurred to make you so very un happy?’ ‘ J have lost my half-crown, mv own. my very own half-crown,’ said Ellen ‘Campbell; ‘ j;ist too as I was go ng to he quite happy, and spend it with Mamma at the fancy faiV. I have been so very careful, that I scarcely ever took it took it out of my crystal bo.\— except, sometimes for a minute, just to look at it, and consider what I should buy; only, this morning I thought, as 1 was going to spend ir, and when it would not be much longer, I would play witli it a little while for the last time. J’ui, at I was running to the j arbour witli old Rover (here Ellen’s sobs al ; most impeded her utterance) my foot slipped, i fell down, and my hdi-cmwn rolled out of my hand! Where it went, I cannot tell: but it is gone; and now the pleasure I have longed for, for such a great, great while, is all over! Oi:! how I wish I bad never taken my half-crown to play with—for I cannot even buy you a keepsake now, as you know I meant to do!’ and poor Ellen again cover ed her face with her hands, and burst into a fresh flood ol fears. ‘ You wiil gain wisdom by this mischance, rnv little git!,’ said the same soft and soothing voice. ‘ You will hereafter, believe me, find that your half-crown is but an emblem of those sudden and severe disappointments, which, in future years, will often check vour faiicst anticipations of happiness; And it will also teach you caution, in the abuse, or even too free use of treasures which sepm unalterably your own. Had you left the half-crown in your bonbon bnv, and played with your hoop or ball your enjoyment at the fancy fair would still have been in store for you, even had you lost your bail, or broken your hoop by your unlucky fall. But—do not cry so very piteously,’ continued her kind friend, lilting tiie sobbing Ellen from the ground, and kissing affectionately away Ihe large tears which, in quick succession, chased each other down her swollen cheeks: ‘I knmv that tiie recollection of this adventure will frequently he of service to you; so we tv.il not, at present, talk any more on the sub ject.—and here is another half-crown—so that you may still go to the fancy fair, and still buy me a present V Ellen smiled through her tears, but it was a smile rather of gn.tihide than of pleasure. The same sum was there, but it was not ihe same half-crown which had been hoarded for so many months by its juvenile possessor, who bad, with chi M-like impatience, watched tiie growth of her nccumulnting store, from a silver fourpence on her birthday ; to sixpence; one shilling; two shillings ; until it had reach ed, what to her imagination was great riches, a substantial half-crown ! No ! Ihe sympathy and kindness of Gertrude Neville had checked her sobs, and called up a momentary smile ; but vain were Ellen’s efforts to speak ; for though her countenance beamed with grate ful a flection, her little heart was much too full for utterance. Like the effect of a sum mer shower on the fairy rose, which so bends the fragile stem,and overwhelms the blossoms, that even the genial warmth of the quickly returning sun fails to raise its drooping head, or restore the delicate plant to its wonted beauty. Ellen Campbell was a child of acute sensi bility, and of reflection beyond her tender years. Young as she was, slit* felt that she could only blame herself for her loss; and consequently, her new half-crown was desti tute of the interest attached to that which was gone. And these feelings which so subdued little Ellen were but the first germs of similar sen timents, which after having been corrected by experience, had gradually ripened inlo salutary habits of self-discipline, in her who had so affectionately and judiciously reasoned with the weeping child. Gertrude Neville had passed that first spring of life, when the world appears one verdant meadow; where eve-bright, and scented thyme,golden cups,and native hearts ease—are alone beheld ; and where the hid den nettle has not attained sufficient height to sling the fingers, which so eagerly and in cautiously grasp those bright blossoms that are spread by Nature in such rich luxuriance before the vivi l imagination of youth. Ger trude had passed that spring; nay, she had lingered long enough amidst the roses of summer, to learn, as all on earth one day learn, that tiiorns mingle with the sweetest flowers! Yveli, therefore, did she know, that Ellen’s adventure with her half crown, was but a varied form of the same check-string, which, m some shape or other, is continually arrestig our career, bringing home to us the conviction ot the uncertainty of all earthly possessions; and abating the ardour of tiiat overflowing joy which beams so beauteous!;,’ on the face of happy infancy; hut which would be productive of continual disappoint ment in after years, unless thus early mode rated by warnings, conveyed by incidents as apparently trivial, as the loss oi’ poor Ellen’s half-crown. And who amonsl us has not felt these salu tary warnings! Who has not tossed his ball too far—or suffered his kite to fly too high? Who has not mourned the disappointment of seeds which have never sprung up, and plants that have withered and died? Seeds and plants bought with such pride for the first garden, and with silver oat of the first purse, but which childish impatience caused the rake to scatter, or the spade to demolish ; thus rendering futile the gardner’s judicious instructions! Our entrance into life hears indeed a c'ose'analogy to our infant for the mortifications we early experience may ofemes he traced to that impetuosity which scatters the seeds, and to those head strong passions which injure the roois of flow ers with whose b!osorr.s we might eventually have been rewarded, ha ! pn'irt ce, persever ance,and self control been early inculcated and steadily nrncti-ed. And if the lesson learned has not always been as dearly purchased as was iittle E lenV with her hniforovvn, have we not ali our warnings, in ail ages, and in all stations? warnings which conumiaUy leach us to con trol that exaggerated expectation of perfect joy which is not allotted to mortality. Ask the sc! 001-boy if any day in the vacation equals the unrepressed ajp.l irrepressible joy of the day that ushers it in, the day of 1 break ing tip;’ or whether (he actual delight of his holidays ever approaches to the gay colouring with which anticipation had decked them. Ask the fair haired girl, the youthful debu tante of seventeen, if her first ball, her‘coin ing out’ was delightful as tiie bright visions which heralded that much wished-lor and all important period. With some few gladsome hearts, indeed, the sunshine of life may remain for a longer time unclouded; hut many an ingenious mind will acknowledge, that the result of their anticipated joys was as chilling, and the illusion ns brief as would he the effect ol first contemplating, through amber colored gfiss, a tame prospect, on a gloomy day : The beholder of which, on lifting up the win dow, and surveying nature in its true light, seeks in vain for the sun iv spot and bright scenes, tin which a few minutes before lie had dwelt with such unalloyed pleasure and delight. Gertrude was an orphan. Site had loved, and been loved by ihe tenderest of parents. She was their pride, their hope, their treastre; the object of their fondest ‘solicitude ; iheir ; most fervent prayers, and she repaid their anxious affection by a devotion which prov ed they were ‘ all die world’ to her. And when these loved beings were taken from her, Gertrude felt, as did Ellen with her infant riches, that she had not sufficiently apprecia ted tier blessings, while they were hers—and that she find trifled with her felicity. Gertrude too, had again loved. The foun tain of i.er affection, which scorned 1o have been closed tip when her parents died, had . subseqently swelled forth at die voice of one’ whom site at first learned to regard from her parents’ estimation of Iris character, anti then to love with enthusiasm, because he had been the comforter and soother of tiie orphan’s grief. He had revived the joys which death had blighted. The parents she had wept for; the home she had lost ; all seemed about to be restored to her; and, in contemplating an union with ihe idol of her affections; the ob ject for whom her heart beat with new love, new hopes, new joys; Gertrude almost for got the past, and lived only in the happiness ofthe present. But alas! a sadder lesson awaited her, and which Ellen’s misfortune now recalled in full poignancy to her recol lection. The being to whom she was on the eve ol’ being united, led away by the ignis fatuus of golden dreams, and making too sure of hereditary wealth, which, like Ellen’s silver piece in the crystal box, had hitherto remained in quiet security, gradually increas ing for many years, in an evil hour, been in duced to remove his treasure—and to traffic in the fancy-fair of life. He embarked his all in a vast, but hazardous speculation,which ended, like poor little Ellen’s fall, in the los3 of all his worldly possessions. The blow to Gerirude was a heavy one ; for she had not thought of the future. She had loved with woman’s first love—the love which never can he equalled—and she had mourned over her blighted prospects, and withered hopes, as woman only can mourn! In tiie depths of lieu aching heart, were her sorrows hidden from the observation of those around her; but in the retirement of solitude, she yielded to the anguish of her soul, whilst dwelling on the dangers, difficulties, and depiNations, which the object of her attachment was pos sibly enduring in the voluntary exile which lie had imposed on himself, with the hope of re trieving some part of his shattered fortune. But Gertrude, although fond and confiding, and gifted by nature with ihe warmest feel ings, was no wordling. She was often a mourner, but never a murmurer. She had been early tutored to feel, that the severest trials may be blessings in disguise; and that worse calamities may he averted from us, even by means of those very afflictions which seem to deprive its of ail our hopes and hap piness in this world. In the long proved attachment of an esti mable friend of her parents, to whose tender rare, on their death-bed, they had especially confided the almost heart-broken object of their earthly affection, did Gertrude Neville again experience sympathy, comfort, and support; whilst cherishing in tranquil endu rance, and patient submission, the hope of brighter-and happier days. This excellent friend was Eilen’s mother; and on the child of her affectionate guardian did this amiable and gentle being avail herself of every inci dent and occasion to enforce those habits of reflection and self-denial, which had formed her own staying support in many a trying hour—had enabled her to view the chequered events of life in their true light; and neither to over-rate prosperity by a too eager anti cipation of fancied joys, nor to sink beneath the weight of despair in that adversity which she knew to be at. all times, the possible lot of tiie most highly favored. Her love for her little favorite, and commiseration for her sor row, checked Geryauie’s reproof in the arbour, when trying to sake amidst her fast falling tears, the weepingWiild showed, by her in telligent look, that she had derived a salutary lesson from trie loss of her half crown. In silence did her judicious monilress lead her back into the house. Farther reproof would, at that time have been misplaced, nay, al most unkind ; for she felt her little hand trem ble as she endeavored to check her tears— tears which nevertheless sprang unbidden to her eyes, and hung on Iter long eve-lashes, glistening like the early dew on the moss-rose bud. Bui the sorrows of happy childhood are brief; when therefore the sunshine of joy again lighted up Ellen’s lovely face, amidst the enchantments of the fancy-fair, then did Gertrude conclude her admonition. ‘ Here, my sweet love, is another crystal box, which 1 have bought as a keep-sake for you—and which I give you on one condition, that you never spend the new and bright half-crown, which I have placed as a moni tor within it. Keep both, my F.lien, in re membrance of to-day; and whenever you are tempted to be careless of your treasures, or yield to inclinations which your better judgment would condemn, let the sight of the crystal box remind you bow soon those trea sures may be lost to you for ever, and how one id e moment nay render nugatory years of steady perseverance and caution : and let the recollection of the ls<C Half Crovn teach you, also, that losses and di.-appointments are felt with a ten-fold bitterness, when they are the result of our own fully.’ E'en assented to the proposal; and Ellen has since passed from childhood to girlhood ; and from girlhood to nsaturer years; but she still preserves the crystal box, from within which the important silver token lias never been removed : for amidst various trials arid disappointments, of widen her infantine grief was indeed but too truly a type, site has ever felt the value of the lesson it inculcated"; and thankfully acknowledges the bent-fit she has derived iroar Gertrude’s keepsake, .and her own mi- chance of the lost UAj.r-cnow.v.— Friendships OjJ'criirj, 1339. b r.)-n a Mi. < ‘ Lomfon Episodes,’ THE MAD MERCER.—A TRUE TALE. Those who declaim with the greatest ve hemence against the superiority of woman’s talents and understandings, generally con clude their argument by an appeal to expe tionce, widen they think estahli.sl.es their opinion, that when woman falls front virtue, she ext®Pbds man iu the flagrancy of her crimen, but il this (should we even indulge them by granting what they might find it difficult to demonstrate) proves anv tiling, it is the reverse oi wiiat they allege it iu sup port 01, as it certainly requires superior abili ties to excel in both.* An e legs fitly dressed woman, of prepos j messing appearance, called upon a physician noted ior “Ins skill in curing maladies of’the mind, and related a king and circumstantial slory of her husbuud being lately attacked by madness of an uncommon kind : during the paroxysms of which lie lost his memory, so as utterly to forget his nearest relations, and disown even his wife and chi'dren ; and persist with the si l ongest obstinacy in some extravagant notion or other, though, in every other respect, 1o all appearances, in his per Get senses. A recent loss in business, bv a man whom he had trusted to a large amount in sdks, had most pai ticularlv affected him, so that lie was constantly raving about silks . and demanded payment from every one he met. She concluded her account by a flood of tears, and sharpened the doctor’s attention by a liberal fee. lie promised to consider the case with the greatest care, but told her it would he impossible for him to form a pro per judgment without seeing the patient. To this her lender regard made her make many objections, particularly because the very mention of a doctor always heightened his madness, and to have recourse to any violent methods in his own house would ex pose him to his servants, which she could not hear to do, and he would never forgive should they even prove successful; but these j dtlficullies were all removed by a proposal,! which she insensibly led the docfO” to makej ol bringing the patient to his house, where! mo notice would he taken of anv noise fie : might make, and all things were in readiness for whatever might appear necessary to be done. To ibis proposal the lady ror.seuled wilh seeming reluctance, and promised to decoy him under some pretence to ootW‘ next morn m<r, as she had reason to apprehend that the fit was coming upon him. The doctor pro mised to lie at home at the lime appointed, and the lady, at her departure, .secured the respect and attendance of his servants by her liberality. Matters being thus far seft'ed, she went next morning to the shop of a noted silk mercer, the natural complacency of whose temper, with other circumstances, marked him out as a proper subject for Iter design. The morning being fine, she walked, attend ed by a footman in genteel livery. She told the mercer that she was recommended to him by a person of distinction, one of his be>4 customers, whom she named, to purchase wedding-clothes Ibr a young !adv of fortune, in the country, together with what else might be necessary for the other ladies ofthe fnnily on the occasion, and pulling a letter of direc tion out of her pocket, chose a vast number of articles, with evident fancy and judgment, to a very considerable amount, and then, while the mercer was making out the bill, ordered a footman to call a coach. When it came, she bid lire shopman to put! the things it to it, and turning to the mercer, told him she was the wife of such a gentle man, naming the doctor on whom she had called the day before, and requested that tie would please to come home with her in the coach, where her husband would pay him. He accordingly waited upon her without hesitation, as, although be was personally wholly unacquainted with the doctor, and the circumstances of his family, be knew him by reputation to be a man of respectability and properly. When the coach stopped at the doctor’s, the lady’s footman knocked with authority, and the door was opened by another, in ex actly the same livery, who, remembering her liberality the day before, received her with the most obsequious respect. Site Went in with,out asking any qestions, and showing the mercer into an outer parlor, with the easy air of mistress of the house, told him she would wait upon him directly. She then went to the doctor, and with tears in her eyes, told him she had brought her husband with her, who had never been so bad as that very morning, having disown ed all knowledge of her, and every person in his family, and raised a great disturbance in the house of otte of her neighbors, from whom he pretended to demand money for silks he had sold him. She entreated him to try all possible means for his recovery, advising him to take care to have proper assistance at hand, as he was apt to be very outrageous; and then, giving him another handsome fee, said she could not bear to he within hearing of him, much less see him, in these unhappy circumstances, arid would therefore now re tire. She then departed in 1 lie coach, car rying with her, of course, the silks. The doctor then waited on his patient, whom he found sitting very composedly, and, after some general chat, asked him how he found himself that morning, and desired to feel his pulse. Though the mercer ihought this was something odd, he had accustomed himself to so much compliance with his ready money customers, that lie answered him ci villy and let him feel his pulse; nor had reso lution, or presence of mind, perhaps, in his surprise, to contradict the doctor, when he told him ihat it was absolutely necessary (or him to rise some blood, but subm.tted quietly to the operation. Thinking, however, that he had no further occasion for the doctor’s advice, he thanked him very politely, and said that, as he had a good dtai of bus ness to do that morning, he should he very much obliged to him to des patch him as soon as possible ; adding that tie presumed Iris lady had given him the hill of the silks and oilier goods she had brought home, which lie should he very happy to re ceive, and to have the honor of his future custom. 1 TiTv dear sir,’ said the doctor, ‘ don’t talk about silks, it will only make you worse. Ie j ! us talk on general subjects. What do von think of ine late change in the administm tinu ?’ Accustomed to complacency in his intercourse with all who dealt with him, the mercer, though sorely against his will, talked politics with the doctor, very coherently and rationally ; hut at length again urged the wn-merit of his bill for silks, and added that, though his lady had said he would pay cash for them, if he had not the motvy in the house, a check on his banker would do quite ss veil. ‘ Poor mat’, 5 said the doctor, ‘ I see, though he is rot quite so bad as I expected, that his malady is coming upon him ;’ and then, with out giving the other anytime to object, he called to his man to bring the cupping glass es, and apply them t. the gentleman's had. ‘To mv head, sir!’ exclaimed the mercer, in a fVight, ‘cupping glasses to rnv head! 1 . o no’ want rny mare o; your rd'see or pre scriptions, and bag you will pay me for'try I silks, n 11. i let me go about my business.’--< 1 i’. or gentleman ! poor gentleman !’ said the doctor, ‘ but it must he done. Come, John, go on ; don’t he alarmed, sir, though the operation is a little painful, it will soon be over. (iO on, John, call in Thomas ami W il liam. If you struggle, sir, it will only add to your pain. You shall see, sir, I will despatch you directly.’ ‘ Despatch me, sir,’ replied the poor mer cer, almost frightened out of his wits indeed, at toe sight of three or four great ill looking follows, with the instruments of torture reatlv.: * Despatch mo! pray sir, do, and pay mo for my silks j here is my hill, and give me leavy lo.tei! you, 1 am not accustomed to such usage.’ ‘lt is all for your good, my dear sir,’ said the phy-ician, ‘let me beg of you don't think ot'silks, talk of any thing e!s,*sir t hut silks; it will make you worse, E assure von.’ *lt will make me mad,’ said the pa tien! ‘ that's the very thing,’ interrupted his persecutor, ‘ I know it will. Aye, poor man, it is just so—just as she told me. And so, sir, yon want your money?—make haste, 1 homos. And pray, sir, will you tell me lirnv much, and for what I am indebted to you ?’ • eor what, sir? lor the silks your wife had from me this morning ; here is the hill, sir.* Po >r man ! it is just so—mv wife, sir, William, fetch the strait waistcoat-—! don’t like his looks. Pray, sir, who is mv wife ?* ‘\\ by, sir, hint’s a strange question—the lady who brought me here, sir.’ ‘Mv wife, is she ? Pray, sir, is shr- not your own wife ?’ ‘My wife! 1 don't understand von; my wile is neither so tall, nor so handsome, nor so well dressed.’ Ah! said tiie doctor to himself, who had been much taken with the piepossessing person and elegant attire of the lady, if he were to sec mv wife lie would find her a dowdy to his. 4 No, sir, she is no wile of mine,’ continued the mercer, ‘and if site is not yours she must he your kept mis tress; but I don’t care for that] if you do but pay me for the silks she got.’ ‘Not a word about silks, sir, any thing but silks.’ ‘But I will talk ot my silks, and of the money for them too. Ido not understand you at all.’ I suppose not, sir, at present, hut you will remember better by and by. How’ exactly she described his case ! 1 don’t wonder at her saying lie was very bad.’ By this time the doctor’s people had laid bold of the poor mercer, and in spile of liis roaring and his struggling, clapped half a dozen dips upon his head. The pain of this made him mad indeed, so tlmt, making a desperate eflort, as he was a strong man, he burst from his persecutors and rushed into die street with the cup sticking on his head. Such a sight instantly drew a mob about him, whom he entreated in vain to protect him, and assist him to escape, asserting his sanity, and exclaiming against the usage he had received ; but they only laughed at the ridiculous figure lie made, and, as the doc tor’s house, and the peculiar practice were well known, they helped his men to secure him, and dragged him back to hie place of torment. Here, though still raging about his silks, liis money and bis ill usage, he was forced to submit, and a strait waistcoat was put ou him. He became at length, perforce, quiet; and conceiving there must be some strange delusion or mistake which he could not fath om, conducted himself so gently, indeed being much exi nested by the phlt. botomical opera tions he had undergone, that the doctor, to ward the afternoon of the day, recommended him very kindly to take some refreshments ; and added, that if fie attended to liis regimen, lie bad no doubt fie would soon perfectly re store him to health. At this the patient agaiu started, but, recollecting the treatment fie had experienced, only said that lie would be glad if the doctor would allow him 1o go to h neighboring coffee house, which he men tioned, where he knew he could get a most excellent dinner, and (though he had to gulp down his vexation) actually invited the doctor to dine with him there, promising to say no thing about the silks til! a more convenient opportunity. ‘ Say you so, mv dear sir,’ said the physicia.i, ‘lam heartily glad to see you so rational. But, if you will take dinner with me, you will find that we doctors know flow to eoi.k ns well as to prescribe/ In fact a most excelled dinner soorr made its appearance, and the doctor’s lady was introduced to their compu'sory guest. A little,■•♦ht, old, uglv woman, deeply pockmark ed, though exceedingly well behaved, formed such a contrast to the handsome and accom plished lady by whom he had been decoyed away, that the mercer could not help ex claiming to himself, well, if you do keep a Miss, doclor, you have some excuse for it, considering the two—but it is damned hard I can’t get pay for my silks. The fast was uttered in a kind of mutter, and the hissing sound ofjlie last word caught the cars of the doctor, who immediately said, ‘ my dear sir, you forget—not a word about the silks —any thing e'se that you like—shall I help you to some of this turbot P 1 Thus corrected, trie mercer afe his dinner in silence ; and even the exhileration of a few gl asses of wine, which the doclor said would restore the equilibrium of the animal economy after the exhaustion of the morning, produced hut one single exclamation about his silks, which was as instantly quelled bv the inva riable retort, 1 not a word about the silks— any thing but silks—conic, take one glass. more. 5 To cut the story short, Ihc poor mercer was thus kept, as it Were, in purgatory alt that evening and night, and although he had requested and obtained leave of the doctor to wiife notes to some of his friends, as these were conceived to he merely the efforts of a disordered imagination, not one was sent off; until the next morning, after having been very comfortably lodged, with, however, two men to sleep in his apartment, he bethought ’ mis !i of writing a note to a physician of his acquaintance to come and see him where ho wu. This gentleman happened to he well known to the doctor, the note was despachcd,. lie arrived soon after, r.n explanation took place ; the lady and the silks remained unrlis- Coverab! \ and the doctor had to pay a hand some sum to the tormented mercer to prevent a prosecution.
