'hat "Syrup" has been used, and itraktohishint en
tative qualities testified .to, by ninny of ,the most res
pectable citizens of the United States. We do not, nay
cannot •claim as the quark does. Infallibility for our
medicine ; but having tested.the. medicine qualities of
the "Pulmonary Syrup." in an extensive and varied
Medical Practise for many years, with unpredecented
ettccess, we unhesitatingly pronouisce it one of the ve-.
ry best remediesin the world, for Pulmonary Diseases.
Give it a fair tri, and you will bellioroughly convin
ced, that it is not one of the-common quark nostrums of
the but a medicine of. real value—one that is well
'worthy of the high and enviable reputation, which it
has won; and one worthy to be in every family.. A
nother reason, why Att. should use the "Pulmonary
Syrup," is its remarkable cheapness, while othermed

Dr. NN'th. Steeling-Dear is with eitreme
Veasure that I ahr Pertilitted to inform you, of the re
markable efficacy of your' "Pulmonary Syrup".in my
nee. was attacked about the lot of last September,
With a cough, that became, so severe and alarming, in
three or four weeks, tbat.l almost despaired of erer a-
Vera ittottring riy.forver good health I was much
I
educed, that could hardly place one foot before the
Other. ; at night, I was obliged to lay bolstered up
'my bed witch I laid down, 1 was afraid f 'suffocating
Troth excessive coughing: and it was with the *utmost
difficulty; that I could raise the matter from toy lungs.
.My relations and •friends, quite despaired of too ever
recovering. I used a number of medicines, without
shy desirable effect t t At this critical period, I woe so
fciitunate as to procure some of sour Pulmonary Syr
up, which immediately enabledme to expectorate with
eats, and by the time I had taken four bottles, I was
perfectly cured of my cough, and my flesh, which I had ,
lost. tWenty pounds, returned with my usual strength.
And by the blessing of -Divine Providence, upon the
meant used, twas in two months perfectly curd. .1
.am now as well as I ever was. and have no Cough,nor
the least enects of my former disease.

Vie only need refer to some cases below to obtain-the

too well known to require comment. Let them be read:

whole correspondence which passed between the

to . bai; out, as it•has beeri'lreported, the pub.
lic can easily judge who showed a disposition to:do
.so, by Multiplyingwhich had nothing to do
with the original Cae'nge. S L o far as regards the
remark that "none "of the 'Whims - of Schuylkill

county have yet accepted the challenge," we need
only remark that we know no less than three a OUT
Whigs Whe were rear and atlkious to • meet the
challenge, but it was deemed expedient for Mr.
ClarkiOn'to accept it, on the. ground of his being a
stranger in the'couitty; and would consequently

attract much larger audience than one of our
own speakers,. whom the people have frequently
heard public. \V i e only IMpe that every Loco

both the fh.ues you: tender. I could have no 01d. 7

you cannot maintaimtheMlirmation,) except that
.it was not embraced in my challenge; atliowever
'you seem to insist 'upon the - diseus'sien of thiS

tions, some of wlik have a vitallyimpottantbe.ar-,
in; on the result cif the present political co'ntest 7 :- .
I will maintain tite affirmation of each proposi7

Whig• party,. in the event of Henry Clay's elec.
tion,io. create a Hiiited States Bank, with a cap
itAof $50,000,000; and that Henry Clay, is in P'
favor of such a Bank.
• 2. That such MBank would be unconstitutional
and dangerous toihe liberties of the people.'
3. That Henry Clay projected and defended ,
even in violation !Of instructions from the Legis
lature of 'Kentucky', the late Bankrupt law, arid
that such' law was dishonest, and hinorat in, its he
4endenry. • CC
That. Ileni:v .Clay is a gambler, a dUt:li ISt st
