of his highly efteenu-d Medicine.
AWARE of the depredations made on every
public medicine of cftabliflied repute and
extenlive fate, R. Johnfton, obtained the King
of England's Patent for his invention, not " to,
recommend" but " to di/lingufi," Whitehead'*
Effcnce of Mustard from
SPURIOUS IMITATIONS.
Five years have now jjlapfed lince Mr.
Johnfton firft made known to the world thii
very extraordinary medicine ; daring this (hort
period, its efficacy has been so clearly demon
llrateed that its sale has far exceeded any form
er example ; eomparitively there are few fami
lies in England or the United States which have
not either heard of or experienced its beneficial
'ndroiith I»2irtfeh.ialirfafiron Vir-tud the
happinels to declare Whitehead'* Eff«nce of
Mustard has cured more persons afflifWd wkh
[ Rheumatisms., Gout, Lumbago, Pctlsj, Com
plaints of the Stomach and other PJin
ful Maladies.
>. Than all the Medicines ever before made
public, indeed, the inftinces. of its efficacy and
letters of acknowledgment from " the moltre
fpedlable chara&ers" are so numerous that a
large volume could not pofiibly contain th«"m,
it has alio obtained the appr-obatisn of the ipoft
eminent men of the faculty and honoured hv
the use and recommendation of the firft familfes
in England, Ireland and America.
A counterfeit.
-R. JOHNSTQN hasretfon to believe a large
quantity under the name of " linptoved EJence
of Mujlard" ,as .veil a s many others hi been
(hipped for America, and confideriit hit duty
to prevent~*impofitifn and difnppointwent.
He therefore requests the affl>fl£d to tie par
ticular in the purchife of his bottles, boxes, la
bels, and bill sf directions which are closely co
pied, and words " by royal authority," artfully
substituted for the words "by the king's patc.nl:
which may elude common observation.
The Genuine is drftinguilhed by the~fignature

.It is a certain and effe&ual remedy, seldom
requiring more than three or four application®.
To the candid and literal of the faculty,
R'. Johnfton refpetflfully submits the following
observations. The Fluid Eflence of Mtjftard,
is an embrocation worthy their particular atten
tion, it differs in its nature from all others, and
is out of the beaten trafl of gene*l practice —

PHILADE LPtt 1A .
TUESDAY.EVENING, MAY »i. x
From the SaUftk ( Gazette.
to Mr. Wm. cobbett.
IN looking, over yaur Country Poreu
piue of* late date, I happened to cast my
rye upon the foHowing words : " The com
munkatibn in paper-orl"the dole
of the century is the most ingenious that I
-have I'een." Knowing the ufu'il accuracy ot
your judgiliviit justness of criticism, I
turned iinme'iiiat'-Hy to the pi. ce,' in hopes of
feeing every difficulty removed, which had
created a " dilleieiisie 111 opinio* on the ap
m:l m:t !y-fiou;itu>n, vot whep the 18th
century doles." 4-nd perhaps you may think
it u somewhat curious*' that the clearness ot
rcafoning therein exhibited should tail to ope
rate convi&ion upon any one of your rea
ders. . .
Your communicator fays, " we pall it
1799 uutll, 1 B,pjj commences" Now, it 1800
tommtniis'ixHen we to date 17991s it
fiot evident that 1800 does not end when we
peaft dating 1799 ? But 1800 yttars mud be
ended,', uv .order to complete 18 centuries.
How then does the nineteenth century be
gin at the close of the 1799 th year of the
christian era ? ' Tis true, the author of the
communication allows that" the year 1800
■does not close until the last day of it; but
yet, he fays, the 18th century closes on the
beginning of it," This would make a diffe
renpe of.gije year between the close cf a cep
tavy a»d tW close of the hundredth yea,r.
But~are not the t>eginning and end ot a cen
tury the'ft. me as the. beginning and end of
ks firft a'pij lsft. year? . H.ow the eighteenth
teritury can be dosed before the close of the
pighteen' hundredth year does not seem
to l3e clearly afcertairied by his method of
reafQiiiiVg,. ■ If aflertion were always to be re
garded as proof, his argument would indeed
be valid and his inference juA.
Another argument'youT writer derives
from the well known timepiece, called the
clock. Rat either lie or myfelf rhuft have
been very inattentive to this ufeful piece ot
mcehanifm. He fays*' an hour Is finiftied
oii the coiiclufion or fcxpiration of the fitty
ninth minute." Now, if the hour be com
pleted at the etid or expiration of the fifty
ninth minute, I mult request t6 be intorui.*'.
whet-e he {jets the iixtieth ftiinute ;'for every
one knows that lixtycomplete niiimtesgo in
j:o the composition of 'an hour. ■ Perhaps it
will be said that the hour and rts Firtt minute
do riot begin at the fame irifttfnt ;-and then
the hour, having the start of its ininnte, will
come to a conclftfion" at the moment when
liti-If ft tit " lixtiath minute commences." If
tftfe; is, as it to re&fdning, I
ftioiikl still liKew know' wTiV ahy "ho'ur and
the fu ft minute of that hour'do trot commence
at the very fame inftarit. For it is veryevi-'
dent, if art litotij and Its niTt in::i
at.jhe sam» mfta-nt of time, that the fame
hour grid its or fortieth minute mutt both
j: expire at the .fame iaftatit; otherwi,fe an hour
niull.te eitljer longer or JhortSr. than iixty
? k -
-T
tirthjw
jawtf
The of illustration employe
by." the author of the communication is bor
denominated Lufl urn;' "A~Luftre, he tell
us, is a period of five years," Then he goe
on to enumerate them very djftinaly fron
" January tbe if, i'B°° ;""'and at the ent
of five years we:.are again informed thai
" the luitrfis completed." This is indeec
every word of it as/trueas the firft book a
GewGv. For if-a Itiftreis a .period: of fiv«
years, moft-certaiulyfive years will make ;
complete lulbe. But,inftead of the Romans
Fuppbfe we let the Gyeeks decide the .quftion,
Thcv computed time by the olympiad, whicl
y«u know is. a peciod-.of four years. Now
if we begin to reckon- the olympiad from Jan.
uary the ift ißoo, counting one by one ft
find out the number, we ftiall find it at the
end of four gear's that the olympiad " i:
compleated." But what is the infejence :
Notf»»hgV^'ay' to-the purpose, in' the
decifcj* of a-ijtreftion concerning dates in th(
chriftiaiv erst. I- perfectly-.agree in your o
ptrfott* then-' thr "Grecian method' is
egually as "applicable to the present queftior
as the Roman,. There is nothing in eilhei
of'them t6 be'called sophistry ; foi
they are'both alik'4 'trifljng, when brought
as aifgi'me'nts'itl.tlie prefejit^debate.
But tS 3 rfcturn to your comnvunlcato'r. He
thus proceeds—" But according to the othei
doctrine -we must wait, until the fifth yeai
is elapfcd." This he deems. 11 an error ill
computation." What ! is it .an error in
computation-to fay the fifth year rpuflelapfs
in l order, to complete five years ? Must not
the hrft year elapse in order to complete one
year; ; the second in order to cpmpleat two
•years ; the third, to eompleat
fourth, to eompleat ~ four ; and of course
must net "the fifth yean have slap fed" to
complete 6ye..y«ars«? .Ifithe affirmative of
this trut J'am wi}lii4l to refer
it to-you'r. o.\\ntt i,uipajtial and candid deci
fipn>. what ; vhe ":error in conj
putatifto If~yjiH; communicator had be
ftowojl a yttl^*atfe.ntioij > on the .diftiniftion
between iijja erdjnal..an4 cardinal number,
he might perhaps have eftaped the perptcxi
ty ariliug from the clock, and the lustre, and
all (uch topics" of, argument, as
were liable fro vembarrafs his oiind. and lead
him'aflrtty. ■ .
But to'proceed. This " error in compu
tation,..we are told, though difficult to de
test.in.a period, of an hurdred years, is very
palpable in the fniwll meafiire of five years."
I did. not mean to. l'mile, but i'urely it will
not be thought-rude to admire the extent
and clearnels of a person's imdlect. He
feeros.to comprehend with wonderful fecilitv
the- operation of an argument which is. con
fined to the cempats of five, years ; but
wlu n from the fame premises (forboth.de-,
pend on the fame data) an inference is jc-

to be detedted." .
The decision of this " apparently finipk ;
question," which has given rile to lo wuca
ingenuity in,playing with wovus without '<;«•-
plication'to the.ftibjeft, appears't° ret. en - .
tirely upon a tingle And tins pv j r taps
can be afrtrtained only to auv .
. thentic- chronological,.hiit(>T)> Tj* *.°- e ,
inquiry then is, whether the firft Cnkiap
chronologifts. disposed theii 1 animal daws in
'the ordinal or in the cardinan
computation. Afcert.Mi of *■ cc
was employed at the conimeii&njes.t of t »e
chriftian' era, and not another wotdVan be
laid. Fix the beginning, arid the end is
fixed of courie. It "will then be m» more
" difficult" to determine the close «f "a cl-b
---tury, than it is' to tell the cleife of a -year,
or an hour, or a minute. Inform me how
old Ghrift was at the commencement of his
fir (I year, and I will tell you how old he will
be at the commencement of the year i3oc.-<
Before I quit the fubjeft permit nie to in
timate tdf the author of the communication,
•that however the question may terminate, the
issue will be unfavorable to hi? method of
reasoning. Foi> whether we date in the
cardinal or ia the ordinal method, still the
, lixtieth minute mud be finifhed in order to
; compleat an hour ; the fifth year mult have
elapsed to compleat a luflrum ; the hundredth
! year must be ended to compleat a century ;
*■ andj by neccflary conference, the tali day
" of the eighteen hundredth year must elapse in
order to compleat eighteen centuries. '1 Irus
it appears, that which ever " doctrine" pre
vail; the decision mull be again ft hip, or ra
ther against his reasoning.
With you* jjermiflion, I would just alk
him a " fiffiple queftioti" or
ferts that " the numbers used for marking
time are retfofpettive." Now ! would en--
quire what time Was retrospect, dby th*firft
year of the christian era ? 1 would alfp in
quire whether the firftyearand thefirftce.ir
tury of 'the christian epoch began both nt the
•fame infhtot ? If they did, whert is the in
inaccuracy bf " confounding the idea of a
year with that of a century ?" If they-com
mence at-the fw>e moment, they proceed to
gether, and when a hundred revolutions of
the one are completed, they must both close
at the fame instant. Here is nothing which
appears to indicate a " confufian of ideas."
If they begin alike!, they end alike ; and
every one "knows that an hundred of the one
make one of the other. Cpnfequently, the.
hundredth year must be finifhed to compleat
the century. .
One . word more. Your communicator
• speaks of a " space ps time between the pa ft
; year and the succeeding one." .. How I /l
---■ ways supposed that whe»_pne year was past
i another succeeded immediately without any
internal betweei) them, but tbis ".fpace of.

-of any appropriate appellation. He there-,
, fore looks about to find a name by wh.i£h i,
r niavbe repreferited ; an&,as it has none of its
, own, he concludes to borrow one from the,
past year. "To -avoid circumlocution the
j name of the pafft year is Continued" thro' this'
intervenient space " till the fucteedin'g one
begins.''.But this, he informs lis, 1 ' is lnerely 1 *
s for the fake of canVeniencs at'fobic
apology for borrowing the name ot another"
year to dfiegnate the :intermediate, namfleft i
vacation." he observes that" to'ihark "the 1 ,
minuter divilionsof tiiTK in a given p&rtion, it
is not material by what name the period" !? ;
called, provided it'be dcfignated."' Now, -if'j
this intervenihg" space or vacation" be equal!
to one year, then it will follow that he' calls
the space of two years by one atid the fame.'
name again,: 1 have already taken rtbtite of
his faying that dates are rctrofprfUve. Now,
if the name, which he borrowed ~of past years,
was retrospective, it will look like adding"
another year to the term of two years already
mentioned ; and then we shall have <t period
equal to three years de'fitfnntßd by one name
or date. This appears very much like con
founding one year with "anotfiet, which must
produce at least as much coiifufjou of ideas
as would arise," from confounding the idea
' qf a year with that of- century."'
With due-refpeft, lam,'. Sir a readsE of
