Pliny ami /Elian relate, that Myrmecides
Yvroncht out ofivory, a chariot with four wheels
and four horses, and a ship with all her tackling,
both in so small a compass, that a bee could
hide either with its wings. Nor should we
doubt this, when we find it recorded in our do
mestic history, on less questionable authority,
that in the twentieth year of Queen Elizabeth’s
reign, a blacksmith of London, of the name of
Mn”rk Scaliot, made a lock of iron, steel and
brass, of eleven pieces, and a pipe key, all of
which, only weighed one grain. Scaliot also
made a chain of gold, of forty-three links, which
he fastened to the lock and key, and put it
round the neck of a flea, which drew the whole
with perfect ease. Iho chain, key, lock, and
flea, together weighed but one grain and a half!
Uadrianus Janus, saw at Mechlin, in Brabant, a
cherry-stone cut into the form of a basket; in
it were fourteen dice distinct, the spots and
numbers of which were easily to be discerned
with a good eve. But still more extraordinary
than this basket of dice, or any thing we have
vet mentioned, must have been a set of turnery
shown at Home, in the tune of Pope Paul the
- fifth, bv one Shad of Milelbrach, who had pur
] chased it from the artist, Gowaldus Northinge
rus. It consisted of sixleen hundred dishes,
which were all perfect and complete, in every
part, yet so small and slender, that the whole
could be easily enclosed in a case fabricated out
of a peppercorn of the ordinary size! The
Pope is said to have himself counted them, but
with the help of a pair ot spectacles, for I hey
were so very small as to be invisible to the
naked eve. Although his llohness thus satis
fied his own eyes of the fact, lie did not, we are
assured, require ot those about him to subscribe
to it on tiie credit of his infallibility; for he
gave everv one an opportunity ot examining
and judging for himself, and among the persons
thus highly favored, particular reference is made
to Caspar Schioppius, and Johannes Paper, a
physician of Rome. 1 urrianus, ol whose skill
so manv wonderful things are related, is said
to have fabricated iron mills, which moved ot
themselves, so minute in size, that a monk could
carry one in his sleeve ; and yet powerful
enough to urind in a single day, grain enough
for the consumption ot eight men. In penman
ship, the productions of this class have been
verv numerous, and some of them not a little
extraordinary. In the reign of Queen Eliza
both, as Dr. Heylin, in his life of King Charles,
relates, “ there was one who wrote the ten
commandments, the creed, the pater noster, the
queen’s name, and the year ot our Lord, with
in the compass of a penny ; and gave her ma
jes: v a pa i t ! spectacles, ot such an artificial
making, that by the help thereof, she did plain
ly and distinctly discern every letter.” A gen
tleman in Liverpool, has written the whole of
Mr. Roscoe’s poem of “ Mount Pleasant, in a
square ot three inches and one sixth, by two
inches and seven-sixteenths; Goldsmith’s po
em of “ The Traveller,” (four hundred and
eighty-eight lines) in a square of three inches
and a half; the book of the Prophet Mnlichi, in
..kind of pyramid, not exceeding an ordinary
little finger in bulk; and the Lord’s Prayer in
the circle of three-sixteenths of an inch, which
maybe distinctly read with a magnifying glass,
and bv some without that help.
femals tact and cm rage.
The editor of the New York Register, having
recently visited the Lunatic Asylum at Hudson,
relates the following anecdote: —A professional
gentleman of some distinction, of giant size, and
great strength, who could fell a man with a
, blow, escaped from his room, and on his way
throusb tiie entry, fell in with another gentle
man, in the same s’ate of mental alienation, and
proposed to him that they should make a tour
through the Union togetlu r. He said lie would
draw on the United States Bank in the city of
New York for 8100.000 : he would draw on the
bank in Philadelphia for half that sum, and on
the branches in one or two o!her cities for the
same amount; and they would procure the ne
«eessr«rv vehicles, and make an excursion through
all the'United States. The proposal was agreed
» to readily, by the afflicted gentleman addressed,
with the utmost pleasure and confidence as to its
execution. The keepers became alarmed by
the determination manifested; and on their in
terference with their further progress, the ath
letic gentleman insisted upon it, that a positive
contract had been made in the matter, and it
could not be broken. The Keepers, knowing
* his strength, and apprehending that it would be
no U< T ht affair to grapple with it, sent for Dr.
White. The lady who manages the interior de
partment, seeing the alarming state of things,
* and the firm purpose of both gentlemen to es
cape, walked up politely to the largest one, and
asked him for his arm; this his gallantry soon
yielded, and after walking off a little way with
him, she remarked that he had never given her
a history of his interesting family, which she
was quite desirous o! hearing. This took with
him, and she proposed accompanying him up to
his room, and hearing an account from his own
lips of his wife and children. They according,
ly ascended the stairs together, she entering the
room on his arm. Here she seated herself and
-» he commenced the narration. In a few mo
ments the doctor arrived, and despatched her lit
tie daughter to call her mother. The child
went up with haste, and told her the doctor want,
ed her immediately. SI e politely apologized
for leaving him a few moments, and proposed
that the storv should be resumed on her return.
This, of course was acceded to, and she left the
room and closed the door behind her, which,
being fastened with a spring lock, effectually
secured him in his apartment, and ended the a
lanning difficulty.
LOVE AND ONIONS.
It is said that in a certain town of Connecti
cut, there is at present, as among the worship
pers of Osiris in the days of Cleopatra, nothing
talked of but love and onions—nothing but mat
rimony and silver-skins —both crying matters;
and indeed this boasting of monstrosities, animal
and vegetable, has become one of the crying
sins of the land. Nevertheless, we, in this quar
ter, are stoutly resolved to be outdone in nothing
bearing the remotest relationship 10 blubber—
including even big rare-ripes, and ripe-rarities
of sundry sorts. Cousin Job Macy, yesterday
displaye 1 before us (the very recollection brings
tears of commisseration for the beaten Weath
ersfieldians) divers onions of his own raising—
and a tough job it must have been to raise them ;
which measured in circumference full sixteen
inches and seventy-eight hundredths ! By nau
tical gentlemen, acquainted with the article,
they were pronounced to he equal in every res.
poet, to the celebrated onions of the Azores and
of Chili. We mean to procure one of these stu
pendous bulbs for brother Homer of the Boston
Gazette, in return for the gigantic apple with
which he threatens us—not doubting that his
Vanburenism, like a beef-steak, may sometimes
be advantageously smothered in onions. So
much for our on/on-beds; and with regard to
the other topic of discussion, let the talkers but
“show their hands,” and it will go hard if our
island cannot match them.— Nantucket Inquirer.
Philadelphia Fantastical*'.
The Hollow Guards performed their devoir
with great eclat yesterday. Their Colonel ap
peared at the head of the column, in the revo
lutionary garb, as indicative of the moral of
the exhibition. His wig was a powdered tie of
the old school. His usual promonotory was
made conspicuous by a little touch of Spanish
brown, whilst the residue of his face was made
as pallid as wheat and flour could render it.
From time to time he bowed graciously to the
attendant multitude. A banner was displayed
behind him, proclaiming his release from milita
ry arrest. The usual number of grotesque
figures filled up the scene—a counterfeit pre
sentment of Hurlick, swinging upon a pole, was
conspicuous; and likewise a tolerably good
model of a well grown porker, with his mouth
full of cabbage—on his broad sides a legend re
lative to “ going the entire animal,” was in
scribed in black letter. Metamora trotted near
the pig, armed with how and arrow, and close
hv, Brian de Bois Gnilbert, with his beaver up,
cantered on a hob tailed bay. Many other fa
bulous and historical personages, moved amid
the mob of kings and warriors, attired in their
proper costume, but as there is no guide to their
names, they must be content with the general
order of chivalry, which will embalm the Fan.
tasticals, without distinction of persons. The
“ 84th” has a niche in the temple of history.
It shares the reputation of Colonel Pluck, its
f irmer leader ; and the green of that hero’s
glory cannot fade. — Pennsylvanian.
“Landlord” said a wayfaring Paddy, who
was travelling from one section to another of the
canal, a few days since, in search of employment
—“Landlord, and what do you charge for a
warm break fa rst for two?”
“Fifty cents.”
“And what do we get then?”
“Coffee, chickens, beef steak, and, onions.”
“And what’el! ye charge for a cowld one.”
“A levy a piece.”
“And what do you give for that?”
“Why cold eggs, meat, and potatoes.”
“Well, give us a cowld one.”
The cold breakfast was provided, and Paddy
and his companion commenced paying a tax
which had been due to their stomachs for twenty
four hours. One of them seized an egg, and
on breaking the skull, discovered a little chick,
as well cooked as could be wished. “Down
with it, quck ye devil ye,” exclaimed his com
panion, “before the landlord comes in, or he’ll
charge ye lor a chicken breakfast!”

IXMAX VEGETABLE ELIXIIt.
fEI 3Hlfe invaluable medicine, which has of late years
JS. excited so much attention in Europe, has recently
made its appearance in this country, and with no less
claim to the title of a specific lor the cure of those excru
ciating complaints, Rheumatism, Gout and pain in the
Bones, Joints, and whether from the too free use of
mercury or other causes. So effectual has the vegeta
ble Indian Elixir proved in all those cases in which it is re
commended, that the proprietor feels authorised instate,
it will effect a cure in ninety cases out of a hundred when
taken according to the printed directions accompanying
each Bottle. The Elixir is composed entirely of Veget.
able ingredients, and may be taken without the least risk
of injury to the constitution. It is unnecessary to say
more in favor of this invaluable Remedy ; too many in this
community have already been cured by it for its virtues
long to remain unknown, and it must and will become
the universal resort of the afflicted here, as it has done in
other places. For the further sntisiaction of those who
may fuel disposed to doubt the efficacy ofthis medicine,
the fol owing Certificates are submitted.
This is to certify that the subscriber having been for
sometime afflicted with the Rheumatism very severely,
from which he could get no relief, until being advised to
procure some of Dr. Fitch’s INDIAN VEGETABLE
ELIXIR, which he accordingly did, and from which as
ter taking a few doses was entirely relieved.
SAML. PEARSE.
Columbia, April 16th, 1832.
This is to certify that the subscriberhad been for some
years, tormented with that most excruciating disease
chronic Rheumatism, and was advised in February last to
procure from Dr. Fitch some of his Indian Vegetable
Elixir. Accordingly I procured some ofit, and to my
great surprise and still greater relief, it entirely removea
the complaint, after taking a few doses, and I have not
since had a return ofit.

ANOTHER FACT
Edgefield, Jane 2d, 1832.
Mr. James Boatwright,
Dear Sir—Permit me to return you my sincere thanks
for your kind attention in delivering my letter to Dr.
Fitch for the five bottles of his Indian Vegetable ELIX
IR. It came safe to hand, and if you are a patent, you
can conceive of my joy, when I inform you that my son
who hasffor the last six months suffered every pain from
the Rhemnatism which was possible for a human being
to bear, has been entirely cured by that Elixir. I had
mourned over him and had given him up to be a cripple
for life and all the fond expectations I had anticipated from
him appeared to be blasted forever. But now to see him
walking about free from pain, and daily gaining strength,
gives me more pleasure than I can express. Several of
my neighbors nave experienced immediate relie f. In
only one instance have I known it to fail, and that was a
most hopeless one ; still he thinks he has experienced
benefit enough from it to induce him to persevere longer
in the use ofit, as he has not yet given it a sufficiently
fair trial. If this communication can be of any service
to my fellow beings I freely give my consent that ybu
should make such use of it as you think conducive »o
that end. 1 remain ever your much obliged friend,

I Certify that my son Thomas '’itchell, jr. aged 15
years, has been troubled for Eight years last past
with the Rheumatism, and for the last three years has
been unable to help himself; his pain was very severe,
so that he could not be moved without great agony :
his limbs were paralyzed and drawn up and he presented
an object hopeless to all that knew him. I resorted to
several Physicians for relief for him. without effect.
Having heard of Dr. A. Fitch’s Indian Vegetable Elix
ir, I piocured the same for my son, on taking it, he was
much relieved and by continuing it to the fourth bottle,
has entirely removed the pain, his flesh is restored and
he is now enjoying good health. I would in all cases
of Rheumatism earnestly recommend it to those wh<
are affected with this excruciating pain.

medial agents, in short to arrive at perfection in their
practice by means of art alone, —entirely overlook and
neglect, as beneath their notice, the rich and bounteous
stores of medicine, which the Almighty has caused to
spring out of the earth in every clime! And how much
more true it is, that while the American Physician looks
to foreign countries for many of his most common and ne
cessary articles, perpetually changing as they are, at the
dictate of fashion or folly, he is surrounded in his own
country with an endless profusion of medical plants,
sufficient to answer any indication in disease, or to cure
any curable disorder :—and yet he is ignorant of (heir
virtues, and they are suffered to “ waste their healing on
the desert air.”
The effects of vegetable medicines upon the system
are temporary—those of minerals lasting. The former
exert their effects and pass off—the latter, mercury in
particular, act chemically upon the solids, decomposing
the bones, and undermining the constitution by a slow
and sure destruction.
The congeniality, efficiency and safety of vegetable
remedies over mineral, may be estimated by t*ontrasting
the ancient practice with the modern; or, to bring it more
immediately under our own observation, the Indian prac
tice with thst of the whites. Who, in America, has not
known or heard of repea.ed instances wherein some de
crepid, unpretending female Indian, by means of her
simple remedies alone, has effected the most rapid and
astonishing cures, after the whole Materia Medica of
the common practice, directed in the most skilful man.
ner, has failed ? And who has not been surprised at
beholding the comparative ease and facility with which
the Indian frees himself from any disease, and at the
almost total absence of chronic diseases among them ?
Who has ever heard of an Indian with a constitution
broken and ruined by ill treatment ? And can a doubt
exist, that this happy exemption of the savage from most
of the ills which the flesh of civilized man is heir to, is
chiefly owing to the more genial and safe remedies which
he employs ? This astonishing difference in success, is
a fair exemplification of the infinite superiority of the
simple and safe means of cure which God has created
for the benefit of his children, over those which the
pride and the art of man have invented.
From a long residence among a portion of the abori
ginal inhabitants of this country, and an intimate ac
quaintance with the methods of cure of some of their
most successful practitioners, the proprietor of “ The
Indian’s Panacea," acquired a knowledge of some of
their most powerful and favorite remedies. From these
he selected such as were most efficacious and appropri
ate, and after various experiments to test their principles
and strength, he has combined them in the form here
presented, as the most perfect and beneficial for the pur
pose for which it is recommended.
The proprietor offers this preparation to the publio,
with the consciousness that he is placing within its reach
a remedy capable of relieving many of his afflicted fellow
beings who are suffering under the various chronic and
obstinate complaints to which it is applicable. To such
it will prove of incalculable value, ns the means, and in
many cases the only means of relieving their sufferings,
and restoring them once more to health and happiness.
This is not offered as a common remedy, that may per
chance be equally good with many others now in use,
but as one which is capable of saving life in many ex
treme cases, when all the usual remedies fail. This it
has done repeatedly ; and this is the reputation it has ob.
tamed wherever it has bee* introduced.
It is only about three years since this preparation was
first presented to the public : but in that short space of
time, some hundreds of persons might be found, who
would solemnly declare that they believed that their lives
were saved oy it, and in most cases after they had tried
many and perhaps all the common remedies in vain.
Wherever it is known it is rapidly c orning into use, and
this affords the most substantial and convincing proof ot
its merits.
The value of the Panacea is most conspicuous in those
long standing and obstinate syphilitic and scrofulous
affections which have defied all other remedies, and par.
ticularly in those cases where mercury has been so lav
ishly used as to cause distressing pains in the bones, no.
dcs, mercurial ulcers, derangement of the digestive or
gans, &c. These it completely removes, and in all ca
scs it entirely eradicates the disease and the effects of
mercury, renovates the constitution, and leaves the pa
tient sound and well. In Rheumatisms and in ulcerated
sore throat, its happy effects are not less apparent, giving
almost immediate relief.
Taken in proper doses. The Indian’s Panacea ope.
rates as an alterative and detergent; a diaphoretic, diu
retic and laxative; an aniispasmodic and anodyne; and in
proper cases, as a stomachic and emmenagogue. Gen
erally expressed, it increases all the secretions and ex
cretion, gives tone to the stomach, and excites action in
the glands in a particular manner. From these princi
ples its operation may be understood.
This medicine has been found highly useful in many
ambiguous diseases not here specified, and it has been
used with wonderful success as a Spring and Fnllpuri .
fier, by those who arc subject to complaints of the chest,
and whose constitutions require new vigor. Such per
eons will do well to use two or three bottles in small
doses. Whenever a diet drink is considered necessarv,
this Panacea, taken in a small dose, will answer all its
purposes, in much less time, at less expense, and in a
far more agreeable manner, than the common diet drink.
The following certificates, out of hundreds similar
which might be procured, are given to show the effect of
The Indian’s Panacea, in the various complaints therein
mentioned ; and also to exhibit in the most satisfactory
manner its superiority over the syrups in common use.
CASES OF RHEUMATISM.
CHARLESTON, Nov. 15. 1831.
During the last winter and spring, I was afflicted with
a very severe and distressing Rheumatism, occasioned
by exposure in bad weather. I now take great plea
sure in stating, that six bottles of the Indian's Panacea,
restored me to perfect health, and I confidently recom.
mend it to all similarly afflicted.
JOHN FERGUSON, King^t.
CHARLESTON, March 27,1830.
I was seized, about three years since, with a distres
sing Rheumatism, caused by taking a severe cold while
under the influence of mercury, and which has disabled
me from business nearly ever since. During this peri
od 1 have been a patient in the Marine Hospital in this
city, upwards of four months, and nearly the same lemnh
of time in the Baltimore Hospital, and tried almost every
remedy, with little benefit. On the 16th of February
last, at that time scarcely able to move about upon crut
ches, I commenced the use of The Indian's Panacea.
In one month I found myself entirely free from pain,*
and am now happy to state that I consider tnrself ocr'
fectly well. WM. TUCKER, 13 Market-st.
CASE or SCROFULOUS ULCM*S.
NEW-YORK, £ept. 10, 1830.
This may certify, that in the fall of 1825,1 was seir
ed by a swelling in my neck and face, which afterwards
ulcerated and became large gastly alters in my neck.
After trying several physicians to no advantage, I went
to Philadelphia, and placed myself under the care ot
Dr». Phytic and Beach, whei, after repeated saltvatiooe
VOL. £3.
i to no effect, I was pronounced totally incurable. After#
, wards I took twe nit/ hottles of Sir aim's Panacea, and
eight failles of Poller's Catholicon, with no material
benefit. Despairing oflife, which had now become at
. burden to mo, I returned to my parents in New-York,
and gave myself up to a lingering death. Hearing of the
success of The Indian's Panacea, however, in cases si.
rnilar to my own, I was persuaded to try it ns a last ra.
sort. I'o my great surprise, as well as satisfaction, I
soon found myself rapidly recovering, and upon taking
seven bottles, the ulcers healed and I became perfectly
well in the course of two months, and have remained no
ever since. I make this statement and wish it published
for the benefit of those who are suffering under similar
scrofulous or syphilitic affections, that they may knew
what has cured one who has suffered every thing bat
death, and who considers his life saved by the above
s.vrup. WM. HINMAN.
CHARLESTON, July 12, 1831.
I was affected four years with an ulcer in the leg, ocv
casionally accompanied with erysipelatous inflammation
and excessive pain in the leg and ankle joint. Several
eminent Physicians exerted their skill upon it, but with,
out permanent benefit. In this state five bottles of the
Indian's Panacea, made a perfect cure.

TO THE PUBLIC.
THE following statement of a remarkable cure, haV#
mg been voluntarily made and sent to the proprietor
of Potter’s Catholicon, the same is respectfully submit
ted to the afflicted, and the Public in general, for their
consideration, without further comment.
To Mr. Thomas E. Potter , agent for Mrs. H. Potter,
widow of Mr. William W. Potter, No. Market
street :
Sir:—ln compliance with your request I will state a*
briefly ns possible, the particulars of my disease, and the
unsuccessful efforts to effect a cure, and final restoration
to health. The suflering afflicted who peruse my state,
tnent, may perhaps, (under the dispensations of Provi.
deuce) be eventually benefited thereby.
About the middle of April, 1833, I was seized wilh
severe and not unfrequently, excruciating pains in my
limbs, attended with burning and increased fever until
its violence eventually confined me to my bed, so that
a kind of mongrel complaint threatened the most
serious consequences. Respectable Physicians pro
nounced the same to have risen f ront impurity of the blood,
cold in tny limbs, suppressed secretiouof bile,&e. Cathar.
tics and other medicines were administered, but they af
forded me no relief; fever continued, and at this stage of
my disease, my apprehensions were increased by nutner.
ous excrescences, of uncommon size and virulence, brea
king out on my left thigh nnd back ; my eyes became in
flamed, and the pains in my limbs, if possible, more in—
tense; my strength was completely prostrated; and such,
in short, was my suffering condition, that Death itself
would have been ns welcome ns the precursor of imme.
dmte relief. In this situation I remained for soma
months; the victim of medical experiments and their'
bad effects, resorted to, in vain, to effect a cure. My
eyes were inflamed—the sight of one of them becam®
contracted, and I was incapable of seeing any object.
In this hopeless state, and yet irresolute, I thought of
discharging my Physician, and resigning myself to fate,
and permitting tiie disease to take its own «ourse;
when a friend, by constant importunities (resisted by
me for some time, doubting ns efficacy; strongly od
vised and finally prevailed upon me to make use of your
medicine, as a harmless experiment that might be pro
ductive of much good. Under these circumstances I
applied (o you ; since which, with the use of a few bottle*
of your invaluable Catholicon. and the outward applica.
tion of your Eye Water, I have regained my wonted
strength, healthful appearance, the sight of one of my
eyes, and partially of the other, and my appetite. 1 an*
now in the enjoyment of a mpiete health, with the slight
exception above alluded to—the loss of one eye may, or
may not prove to be permanent; and if it should, I shall
ascribe the misfortune to former injudicious treatment
—to the use of mercury with wi.ich my system has been
surcharged—to injurious outward and internal applica
tions prescribed hy tny Physicican—the effects of which
exhibited themselves, perhaps, too late to b« remedied.
I therefore attribute the recovery of my health to tie us®
ot your medicine alone—the advice and the medicine of
others had failed, and that if has been the means ®f res
cuing me from the grave. I esteem it as a most potent
corrective of those derangements to which all physical
constitutions are more or less liable, in the spring and
fall seasons of the year. I take pleasure in recommend,
ing it to others; and you, sir, are at liberty to make what
use of this statement, which I cordially give, that you'
please HENRY BROOKS.
Philadelphia, Sept. 4, 1833.
We the subscribers, being personally known to ands

restoration to health in the manner described, from th*
use of ■ few bottles of Mr. Potter’s medicine, appeared
t® ms to be remarkable and worthy of notice, and hi®
statement, in our opinion, may be fully relied on.
