ABOUT mtANDRETH'S PILLS AND
THEIR effects.
A Vegetable and Universal Medicine, proved by
experience of thousands to be, when properly perse
vered with, a certain cure in every form of the Only
One Disease, all having the same origin, and invari
tbly arise from the UNIVERSAL ROOT of all
lisease, namely, IMPURITY or IMPERFECT
-■irculation of the BLOOD.
In a period of little mire than three years in the
United States, they have restored to a state of health
and enjoyment over ONE HUNDRED THOUS
AND persons, who were given over as incurable by
Physicians of the first rank and standing, and in ma
ny cases where every other remedy had been resort
ed to in vain.
In all cases of Pain or Weakness, whether it be
chronic or recent, whether It be deafness or pain in the
side, whether it arise from constitutional or some im
mediate cause, whether it be from internal or external
injury, it will be cured by persevering in the use of
these Pills.
The great principle of ‘ PURGING’ is beginning
to be appreciated. It is found much more convenient
to take an occasional dose of half a dozen Pills, and
be always well, than to send for a Doctor and be bled,
blistered and salivated—xyith the certainty that if you
are not ki led, you will be sure to have months of mis
erable weakness, and the only one who is benefitted is
your Doctor. Look at the difference between the ap
pearance of those two persons—one has been treated
by your regular practitioner—see how pale and debil
itated he is ) see how the shadow of death throws his
soliiary glance from emaciated his count mance;see how
he trembles in every limb ; his eyes sunk ; his teeth
destroyed ; his constitution, perhaps, irrecoverably
gone—yet, just hear how he arrogates to himself cred
it. He says, 1 most inveterate case ofliver complaint’
—‘ nothing but the most energetic remedies saved
him.’ Energetic measures ! i. e. Mercury and Bleed
in*; ruined his constitution, better s'iy. So to save
life you must half poison with that comforter of the
teeth and gums—MEßCUßY—and positively make
a man miserable the sad remainder of his existence ;
this is called curing. Shocking fody.
Let us now loon at your ‘ purged’ man—the man
who has taken Brandreth’s Pills for Liver Complaint
—be has tho firm, elastic tread of conscious strength,
ni* countenance is clear and serene, his eye is full and
sparkling with the (eehng of new life and animation;
he has been confined a few days to his bed, but he
used nothing but the true Brandretil’s Pills,
and soon rose without any injury being sustained by
his constitution. Instead of being for months in a
weak state, he will be stronger after he has entirely
recovered from the attack; because his bloCd and
fluids have become purified, and having purged away
the old and impure fluids, the solids are thereby reno
vated, and he is not borne down by .useless particles,
but has renewed his life and bodv both.
The principle of purging with Brandretb’s Pills re
moves nothing but the useless and decayed particles
from the body—the morbid and corrupt humors of the
blood ; those humors which cause disease—they im
pede the functions of the liver when they settle upon
the muscles,produce rheumatism ; or, upon thenerves,
produce gout ; or upon the lungs, produce consump
tion; or, upon the intestines, costiveness, or, upon
lie lining of the blood vessels, apoplexy and paralysis,
and all the train of disorders so melancholy to the
sufferer and all who behold them.
Yes, purging these humors from the body is the
true cure Ibr all these complaints, and every other
firm of disease ; this is no mere assertion, it is a
demonstrable truth, and each day it is extending it
self; ar and wide it is becoming known, N and more
and more appreciated.
The cure bv purging may more depend upon the
laws which produce sweetness or purity than may be
retie rally imagined. Whatever tends to stagnate will
produce sickness, b cause it lends to putrefaction;
h* ri ffire the necessity of constant exercise is seen.
When constant exercise cannot be used FROM
ANY’ CAUSE, the occasional use of Opening
Medicine is ABSOLUTELY” required. Thus the
conduits of tiie Blood, the fountain of life, are
kentfree from thoso impurities which would prevent
its steady current ministering health. Thus, morbid
humors are prevented from becoming mixed with it.
It is nature which is thus assisted through the means
and outlets which she has provided for herself.

A MOURNFUL BALLAD.
The wind was sighing mournfully
All through the winter trees,
And sounds of joy and merriment,
Were borne upon the breeze:
A gallant knight as ever wore
A targe or crest, stood ni^h,
And oft he gazed in bitterness
Upon a lattice high.
For there the ! ady of his love,
AYas wont to hear his lay,
As, in soft tones of ministrelsy,
He’d sing or sweetly play ;
But now the beacon light above,
No longer met his eve,
And sadly he withdrew his gaze
From off the lattice high.
For well he knew the mirthful sounds,
That grated on his ear,
Foretold the bridal of the maid,
Who was to him most dear;
From a father’s cruel, harsh command
See would, but could not fly
Nor could she place the beacon light
All in the lattice High.
Then hope for ook the gallant knight,
And to himself said he,
“ I’ll hie me to some distant land
Across the briny sea,”
But first he turn’d and sad y look’d—
With many a burning sigh—
Upon the lofiy battlement,
And on the lattice high. YV. YV.

FLORIDA WAR.
The last number of that valuable journal,
the Army and Navy Chronicle, contains the
folloYving notice of the plan of military ope
rations which is lo be prosecuted in Florida
during the present winter :
Florida JFar. —The season for active ope
rations having returned, and the public mind,
in the army as well as out of it, being some
what agitated by the contradictory nature of
the reports in circulation, we have made en
quiry that we might infirm our readers what
measures were contemplated in the approach
ing campaign.
Gen. Taylor, by the zealous and intelli
gent discharge of his duties, having given
satisfaction to the Department, will continue
in command.
The troops now in Florida are the third
regiment ol artillery, a portion of the second
dragoons, the first, second, sixth and seventh
regiments of infantry. The third artillery
having been much reduced will he sent to the
north, and be relieved* by the first artillery,
which has been recruited and is now full.
The companies of the second dragoons that
arrived at New York in the spring, beino*
now full also, will return to Florida, and the
regiments of infantry now there will remain.
It is intended to drive the enemy nut of the
settlements by oecupving ihe country within
and north of a line drawn from Pilatka to the
Withlachoochee, including Fort King, thence
j along the tvestern coart, to the Apalachicola,
i and by maintaining posts as low down as tiie
: mouth of the Wiihlacoocisee. Ti e inhabi
) tanls will be armed, and the defence of their
| firesides and neigh! orboods confided to them,
| with such assistance from the regulars as oc
( casion may call for. The posts on the Allari-
LC coast artj at Tampa I) iy will be con-
timiul, with such others as the Commanding
beneral may find expedient.
Experience having mournfully proved the
impracticability of lorcing the Indians from
tiiUi s\\ a nips anil hammocks, so familiar to
tiiem but inaccessible to us, no further at—
tempts will at present be made; leaving to
time and the gradual spread of the settle
ments, the accomplishment of an object un
attainable by arms.
The report so extensively circulated, of
conferences between the Secretary of War
•and Major Generals Macomb and Scott, are
entirely without foundation ; no such confer
ences have been held. Equally unfounded
is that o! sending seven thousand troops to
Florida, it ail our regulars, now out of the
territory, \asre taken lrom their present sta
tions, they would net amount to the number
named. The northern, northwestern and
southwestern frontiers arc quite as much ex
posed, and stand as much m need of defence;
as does the territory of Florida. There has
been no design entertained heretofore of send
ing the eighth infantry into Florida, its pre
sence being considered essential to the main
tenance of neutrality on the borders of Cana
da. l'he fourth artillery will be stationed
between Cleveland, Ohio, and Fort Gratiot;
aud the second artillery will be divided be
tween Fort Niagara and Buffalo.
It is believed that some additional small
vessels will he built or purchased, and sent to
the coast of Florida, to prevent depredations
by the Indians upon wrecked vessels and
their crews.
Connected with the Foregoing remarks, a
retrospect of recent events in Florida will not
he inappropriate. During the last session of
Congress ar: appropriation of $5,000 was
made for the purpose of holding a treatv
with the Seminole Indians. ” In’ virtue of
this appropriation General Macomb was sent
to Florida; and being the General-in Chief
of the army, it was thought that his rank
would have more weight and influence with
the Indians than a civilian could have. Gen.
M. held conferences with some of the chiefs,
and finally entered into an agreement (there
was no written treaty) withChitto Tustenug
gee, the acknowledged succassor of Ar-pi
ucki, or Sam Jones; (the latter, it is under
stood, has never held or exercised anv mili
tary command, but stands in the light of a
counsellor among his tribe.) Oi,c 0 r llic
stipulations of this agreement was the esta
blishment of a trading post near the Svnabel
river. Ihe mission of Col. Harney, to carry
into effect this stipulation, the surprise of his
party, the massacre of a portion and the
escape of the rest, are familiar to all. Sam
Jones and his tribe were at the time in the
vicinity of Fort Lauderdale, distant about 10(j
miles, and have not only denied all participa
tion in or knowledge of the massacre, but up
to the latest advices centinue to manifest a
neutral disposition and an intention to abide
by the agreement made with Gen. Macomb.
The approaching campaign then will par
take more of a defensive than offensive cha
racter, as it will be confined to driving the
Indians from the settled portions of Florida;
where they have committed depredations al
most without check. It having been found
impossible to force the Indians from their
fastnesses, any further attempt to effect that
object would only be attended with a need
less sacrifice of life and money.
* These ferharks . >ve re prepared for the Chronicle
of October 24 ; but since they w. re written, informa
tion has been received which renders it inexpedient to
withdraw the Ist artillery at present from the Canada
frontier. The third will therefore remain in Flopda,
until the exigencies of the service at other points will’
all w of its being relieved.

BOUNDARY TROUBLES.
Missouri and lowa l,ave planted dragonsi
teeth on a patch of'ground “lying and being”
in dubie, but “butting and bounding” on
the east to the Mississippi river, on the south
and west to the Dos Moines river and on the
north to a line nf’ latitude forming in the main
the No: them boundary of Missouri. From
which it will be seen ‘that the said land is
shaped a little like a tomahawk, which ac
counts for its having irritated the flesh and
stirred the black blood of the “two powers.”
The Governor of Missouri seeing that this
little delta was another Egypt of fertility,
abounding in corn and oil (of hickory) did
send certain valorous knights (of the shear,)
Sheriffs and oihers, to levy black mail there
on. These, like other Jasons, hastening after
another golden fleece, found to their unutte
rable indignation and dismay, that the lowa
sheep had more horns than wool. Thev were
themselves fleeced and suffered otherwise un
comfortably. Thereupon the Governor of
Missouri did manufacture and set up a mightv
proclamation, which went up from the'seat
of government awful as the Genius out of
the nose of the demijohn in the Eastern tale,
making no inconsiderable smoke. But the
Governor of lowa, no way disheartened, but
rather, like a crow in a mist, becoming larger
in the vapor which the oilier had “evoked
about him, d:d issue a still mightier and more
smoky manifesto, which, it seemed, must
clean strangle the men of Missouri, before
they could swallow it. But these iwo pro
clamations, being so valiant and wrathful,
did the rather infuriate and put into anecstjr
cy of bloody mi ndedness, both parties, who
are Called the Boggites and the Lucasites.
Tie: press on both sides began to abound in
pikes, blunderbusses and other atrocious wea
pons, and their “voice was still lor war!”
The tax gatherers and publicans of Missouri
went out again to gather the tythes, but were
met with scoffs and jeers, the men of lowa
being in no sort, of that branch of the Anglo
Saxon tribe, who. in ihe opinion of a wise
statesman, do delight in paying debts. They
on the contrary have as deep an abhorrence
to pulling out their purses as to pulling out
their teeth, and be indeed far more quick to
show the latter than the former. Thev there
fore took hold of the publicans, which were of
the Boggites, and shook them furiously, and
setting their faces towards ihe South, did
make to them many nod sore app'ications of
the toes of boots, threatening also to row them
up a very frightful branch of the river Styx,’
which is ca led the Salt River, and leadeth* as’
is supposed by learned geographers, more
than half wav to the dominions of the “ Old
Harrv.”
Thus stands the provocation. The two.
governors have raised each a great army of
very terrible words and phrases - , having also
several field pieces of newspapers that"have
already thrown a vast number of carcases 33
and other offensive things among each other.
I here is also talk as soon’ as the militia get
through thrashing the crop that there will be
other thrashing on hand.
The Gamblers. —The citizens of S.'. I- mis
have made a bonfire of the gaming tables,
which for the purpose were collected together
in a funeral pi'e before the Court. House.—
The pile was six fe-t high—quite a hecatomb
of iniquity. The'Giz te exp-esses appre
h nsiorts es tbs garni Lrsfhould fire the town
through revenge, for the fiery ordeal through
which their implements of trade were made
to pass. These gentry, pomebow or other,
seem’ to have lost favor a’l over the country £
