Dr. Webster and the Press Again,
. No food can probably be accomplished by ■
farther discussion of thisaobject. If 'we onder
ttknd oar neighbors of-the Journal aright, previ.
' on* respectability—by which wS mean a charac
ter for uprightness, honor,) end morality—ekonid
be abar neither to the judgment of tbo public, nor.
the censures of the press, when a person Is a scal
ed of a crime. To this opinion wo dissent until. &
judicial Investigation has proved the guilt .of lie
accused—where reasonable doable exist on that
subject, his previons good character should to
permitted to weigh In his favor, and cause a saf*
’pension of the judgment l of the community. The
presumption.in such cases ir, that the demised is
innocent.; Mca do not jump' at once from a life of
virtue to. the commission cf the most horrible
crimes, except in .some extraordinary instance*,
wtileh arn'cxceptidna to thsgene'ral rale. When
, a man has led a dissolute end reckless life, and
has destroyed all the finer feeling* of his nature,
: and has seared his conscience by a course of wick
edness, we are not surprised to bear that he is
charged with an aggravated offence, and if our
judgment run to n swift conclusion of hia guilt, it
fa a penalty be pays for that lack of respectability
which be has neglected to preserve. *
JU to Dr. Webster, he may. bo one of’the ex*
eepaioni to which Wje have reiened, but hw guilt
yet remain* to be p oved, as he has heretofore
maintained an cable niahed reputation, every prin*
eiple of justice and humanity. demands of us to
' suspend judgment ui til the question of hia guilt or
! innocence (a judicial yjdeeided.
As lar 1 as our obi a ration has extended/the
. reapectability ofe p< non accused of a crime has
- talker militated agai tat him, with a portion of the
press and of the pub Ic.. An abandoned, reekioa
follow* meets with s lmpathy,and his offences are
extenuated. The vt ry.depth to which he has car

treated with veryqc eationable lenity. But let a
. penon who has hitierto borne aa untaraufced
tdtaracter, be chsrg d 'with the commission of a
crime, and there is t o limit to the horror and in*

previous respectabi ity, instead of shielding him

All.now ia nproar, confusion, and menace to the
existence of the Union, and to the happiness and
safety ef this people. Sir, I implore Squalors, I
entreat them, by all that they expect hereafter, and
by alt that is dear to them here below, to repress
the sr<k>r of these passions, to look to tbetr conn*
, try, to it* interest*, to listen to the voice of reason
—not os ft shall be attempted to be ottered by me,
fori am not so presumptuous a* to indulge'the
thing I may say will avert the effects
which I have described,bat to litteh to their own
reason, their own judgment,-their own goodaense,
tn determining upon what ia best to be done for oar
country fa the actaai posture in which we find her.
ar, to this great object have my .elTerta been di
reciedonnng this wholesession. I have cut my
self.off from all the usual enjoyments of soeiai
; life, I have ennfined myself almost entirely, with
very few exceptions, to my own Chamber, and
from the beginning, of the session to the present
titnemy thoughts have been anxiously directed to
the object of finding tome plan, of proposing some
mode of accommodation, which should osce more
restore tbebleasingdfcOTCord.hinnooy.aud peace
-to-thisgreat'connlry. I am not vain enough to
suppose that I have been successful in the accom
plishment of this objeet, botl have preserted a
scheme, and allow me. tossy to honorable Sena
tors that if they find in that plan any bring that ia
defective, if they find in it any thing that is wor
thy or acceptance but is susceptible of Improve*
mentby amendment, it seems to me that the true
end patriotic course ts not to denounce it, bot to
improve i:—not to reject without examination any
project of accommodation having tor its objeettbe
restoration, of harmony ia tbia country, bot to look
at it 10 see if it be ansccptible of elaboration or im
provement, so as to accomplish the objem which
; indulge the hope Js common to allahd every one
' of us, to restore peace and quiet and harmony and
happiness to this country.
’ Sir, when I came to consider this subject, there
were two or three genera] purposes which it
aeemed to me to be most desirable, if possible, to
accomplish. The one was, tosettle all (he edntro
verted questions arising out ofthe subject of als»
very, it seemed to me to be doing very little if
we settled one question and left other districting
questions unadjusted. It seemed to me to be doing
but liulc if wo.stopped one leak-only in the ship
of Stale, and left omer leaks capable of producing
danger, if not destruction, to the vcrseL Itherefare
turned' mv attention to every subject connected
wththe institution of slavery, and oat of which
'controverted questions had sprung, to see if it were
possible or praolicble to accommodate and adjust
the whole of them. Another principal object which
attracted my attention was, to endeavor to form
such a scheme of accommodation a* that neither
ofthe two classes of Slate's into whtcb'oar country
is so unhappily divided should make any sacrifice
of any great principle. 1 believe, eir f the aeries
of resolutions which I have bad the honor to
present to the Senate accompli&hhes that object.
’ Sir, another purpose which 1 bad In viow was
this: i was aware oftho difference of opinion pre
vailing between theso two classes of the States.
I was aware that, whilst one portion of the Vnirn
was pushing matters, a* it seemed to me, to the
greatest extremity, another portion oftho Union
was pushing thorn to an opposite, and perhaps not
leas dangerous extremity. It appeared to me,
then, that if any arrangement, any satisfactory ad
justment could be made of the controverted ques
tions between the two classes of States, that ad
justment, that arrangement, could only be success
ful and effectual by exacting from both parties
some concessions—not of principle, not of prin
ciple at all, bnl of feeling, of opinion, to relation to
matter* in controversy between them. Sir, I be
itove the resolutions which I have prepared fulfil
lhat object I bellove, air, lhat you will find, upon
that careful, ration 01, end attentive extmiQaltba cf
them which I think they deserve, that'neither
partv in some of them make any concession at all;
to ethers the concessions offorbearanee are mutual;
and, in' the third place, in reference to the slave
bolding State*, there are resolutions making con
cessions to them by the opposite class of States,
without any compensation whatever being ren
dered by them to tho non slayebolding Stales. I
think every one of these characteristics which l
have assigned, and the measures which I proposed,
is susceptible of clear and eatisihctorv demonstra
tion by mi attentive perusal and critical examin
ation of the resolutions themselves. ’
[Mr. Clay then takes up the resolutions, seri
atim. The first one, with regard to the admission
of California, be soon disposes of. He lays down
the broad principle that every State has tho un
doubted right to regulate her owe interior institu
tion-—the right to ailmhor reject aloverT-]
Why; pir, no one contends now, no one believes
that with regard to thc&o Northwestern Stales to
which ihe ordinance of 1787 applied—Ohio, Indi
ana, l!bnois l and Michigan—no ono can now be«
lieve but that any one of those Slates, if they
thought proper to do it, hive just as mceh right
to.lntroduce slavery within their border*, as Vir
ginia bss to maintain the existence of slavery
within hers. Then, ?ir, if in the' struggle for pow
er and empire between the two classes of States,
a decision in California has token place adverse
to the wjsbeaofiße Southern Staler, it is a decis
ion not made by the General Government. It is
a decision respecting which they can otter no
complaint towards the General Government, li
m a decision made by California herself; which
California bad ucqnertioasbly the right to eta!
under the constitmion of the U. States.
[The second reao'utios, which is for cttab'ishir.g
Tenfloriil Governments in the new Territories,
without any Restriction hi regard to eiavery. is
next considered. He lay* down what he calls
two frarii#—“tic first U, that by law
slavery no longer exists in any part of the requi
sitions made by us from the Republic of Mexico;
and the other is, that in h ; a opinion, according to
the probabilities of the ease, slavery.cever will be
introduced into aay portion of (he tcmtrries to
acquired from Mexico.” On the first part cf the
proposition,-he makes the following fjmUe re
mark::]
I take it then, air—end availing myielf of tho
benefit of the diseunions which took place on •
former occasion on Ibi* question, sail which, 1
mine, have left the whole c.junirv under the im
prenvon of the non exineuce r.f withic
the whole ot .the territory in the ceded Iriritcries—
l take it for created that wbnt 1 have nil id, aided
by the reflection ofgcullemen, will sstisfy them of
that first truth,that slnrcry dons ant cxi*f: there by
law, ttnleis slavery was carried there tlie tncmeni
the treaty was ratified by the two pariics, and
uoticr tee cpertlion of Ute Cocetiluiiqn of the
United tkreea. Now, really, l must sayßhat upon
the idea that to ti uianit' upon the mn?U>nniati(>u
of the treAly tiic cocr.tiiutiun of thn.lTfiitrd Smto
spread itscll over the orqoired territoryand eer
ried nloag with it the ibMitution of slavery, the
propoeltion ia so irreconcilable with anyi eoniprr
hennion or reason that i poissis, that 1 haridy know
how iq meet il ! I
Why, these United Stales of State*
In fi'tejn of ttem there was slavery, iatfeeo of
them slavery did not exist. Well, how j:an it be
argued that the fifieen slave States, by i ho ope»e-
Tioa of the cooiufintiDn of the United St itea. car
ried Into: the- ceded territory their ins itubon o;
elavery. nuy more than it can bo argu d on the
other ride thau by the opcraUna of tho c imn con
stitution, tbe fifteen free States carried in'o the
ceded territory ton principle of frecclc m which
they from policy havo chosen to ndoptw min their
limit*? Why, sir, let me snppore a c ue. Let
me imagine that Mexico hod never nho i*hcd el-t
-very there at nil—let mo suppose last it was ex
jfling iq pointnf fact and to virtue e-l. aw, from
tho shores of tho Pacific to those ot ti uGalf of
Mexico, at tho moment ot tbo cesrion of these
countries to oaj by the treaty In qneaiiun. With
what patience would gentlemen eon teg iVcm
eltveho|dirgSu:«sii*lor, to any stgum at which
should be urged by the free States,* that nslwhh
ttand.Dg the exiatenca of. slavery within ihore
tcmi'*riea, the conablntics cf the Uoitbd Slates
abolished it tho momenf it operated upon land took
effect in thc ccded territory? Well, isthorc not
ja'st b» much ground to contend that, whejre a mol
etyof -iho States la free and tbe other moiety is
alavoholditg, the priaapio of freedom which pre
vails in.lhe oupelaas.shaU operate as much as the
prineiplo of alavcry which ''prevails in the other!
Can you como, amidst this conflict of interest*,
principles,' and lee/rhtion which prevails in the
two parts of the Union, texany other cnnclusicu
than that which I understand to bo the conclusion
of the public law of the world, 7 of reason, and jus
tice : tnat the stain# of law, as it existed at tbe mo
ment of the conquest or tbe acquisition, rcmalna
until it ianllcred by the sovereign authority of the
conquering or acquiring power? That is the
-gfcat-prmclple which you con scarcely turn,over a
pneeof public law of tbe world without,finding
recognised and every where estnbliibed. The laws
of Mexico, at they existed,at ibs moment of the
Clarion of the ceded territories to ihi.i country, re
mained ibe laws untd, and unlysa, they were al
t-red by that new eovereign power which this
people and these territories come nnder iu conse
xuenee of tha treaty of eeasion to the United
Slates.
. (The power of the General Government on the
InsiliMion ot slavery is next contidimd. The
insiltrtiori of slavery proseu'.«, he rays;Rwo ques
tions totally distinct—slavery within the Stntea
anil slavery without. Over elavery within the >
State* tho General Government bat no power.
Jf any iaterierenea ahould bo attempted, the States
wonld have a rightto resirt, with all the powers
God and nature had placed in their hands. If,
then, said the orator,]
Civd wsr.f.honld b*«ak out,and we should pre
•eat to tho natlonaof the enrib the spectacle of one
portion of this Union endeavoring to subvert an
iawitoiion and tho most'sacred obligations which

Which wc should -have the aympathiw, kt» good

-would bo our case—if unhappily wo should be
plunged into eml war—if the two parts of this
conn try abooM be pltoed fnt position hostile to-
Vnrd each other in order to carry slavery into the
new territories acquired from Mexico. (
.Mr. Frraldent, we have heard, ai! of us have
read or tha .efforts of France to propagate—what
on the continent of Europe? Not slavery,sir;not
slavery, but the rights of mao; and wo know the
fate Cf her efforts to a Wurltof that fend; gst if

fort on the one tide would be tofeatrato the intro

other aide to force its latrodoctfotrtbere, what «
spectacle should we present to the contemplation
ot astonished o*sbnd?| An effort not to props,
gate right, but I moat say—ihnngb I trust >wiO
beuodentood io be said with no desire to excite
feeling—an effort to propagate wrong in the terri
tory thus acquired from Mexico! Tt would be d
war in which we should 'cave no sympathy, no
good wishes, and in which all mankind would be
against us, and to which, onr own history itself
would be against da; for* from the commencement
oftho revolution down to the present time, we
have constantly reproached our British ancestors
for the iatroddction of slavery into this country;
and allow me to say, thkt, in my opinion, it isone
ofthe best defenses which can bo made to pre
serve the institution in this country, thnt it was
forced npon us against' the wishes of our ances
tors, our own. colonial Ancestors, and by the cu
pidity of our British commercial ancestors..
Tbepowerithen, Mr. Presidentja my opinion
—and 1 will extend it to the introduction os well
as the prohibition of slavery to the new territo
ries—l think the power does exist in Congress,
and I think there is that important distinction be
tween slavery outside of the Slates nnd slavery
inside of the States, that all outside is debatable,
all inside is'updebatesble.' The Government has
no right to touch the institution within the States;
but wh-tbershebss, and to whatextent she has the
right or not to touch it outside of the States, is a
question which is debatable, and upon which men
may bonesUy.aod fairly differ, but which, howev
er it may be deeidrd. famishes, to my judgment,
no just oceasioo. for breaking op this happy and
glorious Union of ours. ,

the Census Board, and particularly upon the ac

whose abiUy and fitness for tho place cannot be
doubted by any who have the pleasure cf his ac

jMereapondegce ot the Baltimore Sun, will be
wun<J t> bo correct:
The conflict of jurisdiction, which has anacn
between census committee ol the Senate
and Census Board, teems to involve some feeling,
as I would judge from the tenor cf the discowien
of the subject yesterday. The following ia tho stole
ot the case 1,
“The Centos Board was organtoed by an act of
the lest Conbreas, approved 3d Msrch, 1&49. The
Boasdwostobo constituted by the Secretory of
State, the Attorney General,and the Post Master
: General Upon it devolved the dutyof preparing
the blank;* iift the next census, limiting the sub
jects of statistical inquiry to one hundred, exclu
sive cf population returns. The Buard so consti
tuted, appointed, at the law authorised to oc, a
Secretory, and performed the doty entrusted lo )i
—that it, thfey agreed upon the subjects to be em
braced ; settled upon the form; ordered the prop,
aratian of stereotype plates to accordance there
with; have .purchased the paper, and intend to do
the printing; [unless a bill ordering them to sus«
pend operafons should pass both Houses of Cou
gresa.
_ Tho terras cf tho act constituting the Board,
made it imperative upon the B-aard to do the print
ing which map be necessary. The Census Com
miUce, it was supposed, and ills now contended,
bad no duty to perform but to bripg forward a bill
to rarry into jeffem the work of the Board; to pro
pose an adehoate appropriation ; to designate offi
cer* ; and tqifix the time lor the commencement
ofthe examination and the returns of results.—

V WaiHißoros, January, 1650.
At ff o'clock In the evening, carriages, began, to
move briskly aloog the avenue, and, enlerisg the
gates of the crescent tope which winds"around to :
trout of the - White House, one after another depos
ited their precious burthens at the steps of the
great mansion. 2n leas than aa boor, from a hun
dred to a hundred and fifty of these vehicle* bad
driven around the lane,,catering at the East gate,
depoflittog-their loads at the door and then rang- <
mg to riegle fils along-another side ofthe carriage
way, with their horses’beads ail turned io a wes
tern direction, or had passed out of the great wes
■eru cutranec. Of !b«e many were cf the private
carriages uf foreign omba-*?durs or other dipb*
malic character*, the different members of the
Cabinet, and of private citizens, but mostly<con*
aisled of publio hack* and cab*.
Along the avenue Lading to the Presidential
maQkton might bo seen numerous persona of both
sexes, winding their wey thither on foot, regard
tees of the ftaout tnJmnddy conduioa of tbeatreots
and pavements, endihe_<tomp and smoky atmos
phere which enveloped them to a thick and chilly
cloud. r*
Arriving at the m&nslos, to our *urprir*,vwe
found tha spacious portico in frost literally swarm
irg with & crowd of roogh and uncouth cabmen,
hack men, and private coachmen,who had beseiged
the entrance and choked up the way to it, to onto
render it extremely difficult to force a passage
through them, especially when accompanied by
ladies. This want of rrgnlatlon, we ascertained,
was attributable to a dereliction on the port of the
Auxiliary Guard, a body of the city police, who
are stationed, hbe sentinels, at the entrance
doors of the mansion, on such occasions, while
one or two act as Sorgosnt at arms in the to*
terior.
Aa you enter the principal door, o second door !
is opened at the right by a negro servant br ine
qaey in plain livery, who directs you to the cloak
room, a small ante chamber' still further at the i
right and immediately ..connecting tho great lobby
room with the ladies' dressing room. Here are :
servants ready to receive you or yourcloak,over
coat, hat, umbrella, cane, and over shoes with
any of which you may be encumbered. . Yon at
tach your card lo your cat or cloak, place them
in the care of the servants end call for- them
whenever you please, always certain ofyourown
proper articles. At times, however, the number
of visitor* is so great, that It is Impossible to find
room for the proper disposal of tnelr aupetflooua
articles cf dress, and not unfrequently, the anti*
chamber becomes bait filled withltbem, thrown
down promisculonsty in piles abont the floor.
Beyond this note chamber'«the ladies' dressing
room. They are all obliged to pass through this
room, which ought to be called the “GenUeti.an’s
Ovccration or Ogling Room.” as-crowds cf them
prefer to remain here aa long as decency dares to
sanction it, in order lo come in close contact and
enjoy a good stare on the fair and lluahiog feces
that perp out from under hoods and handkerchiefs
which covers their heans. Wbeo alady enter*
tho dressing room, she is met by a [female atten
dant who disrobes her ofher shawl or cloak, hood
fisc., which are laid carefully aside, bearing some
mark by which they.may be easily recognised
when called for. The Indy then takes s seat and
her attendant,kneel* at hi ? feet, and removes her
over shoes, unlaces her gaiters and take* ibea
off, replacing them with tight shoe* or delicate
slippers cfroorocoo or satin. The toilet comple
ted, the tody steps to the door of the ante room
ard informs her Companion ofher njadineaa to be
presented, when he escorts her through the back
door Into the main hall andlbcnce to the Presi
dent end tho great East Room where they mingle
with and are soon lost in (ho vast assemblage.
The President stands just inside the doorof tho
“Reception comparatively small room,
interventing between the “Green Room" and the
“Dining Ecom,” rnd fiontirg cn the southern side
of tho mansion. He it all smiles and eongralal*
tion*: welcoming all os his friends, whether he has
overseen them before or not, end'wishihg them
in the frankest and kindest manner, health and
heppincss. The visitors prera upon him, each
tabicg him hy the hand and utslly saying, “Mr.
President, I’m‘glad to seoyon looking to well to
jrcht, how is your health, sir?’’ To 1 which taktog
ea-h cordially by the hand, he humorously replies,
11 I ihanb you, thank you, very well, thank yottf
I’m glad to see you very dad to see you" and tbd
stream floats along without further ceremonyof
interruption. Occasionally aome brave aonldler
or officer who eerved his country with credit and
honor, In the war with Mexico, and perhaps un*
dertbe immediate eye and supervision of the “Old
Hern” himself, makes hia appearance at the door.
The great black eyes of the old man dilate under
tbefr massivfl nnd thickly shaded covers, and spar
king with interne delight as ho welcome* bis old
friend and comrade, seem to abed a brilliant loste
over hia rough, time and weather beaten visage,
and give him an a-peclof peculiar and great mor
al power and dignity.
Hisdrcs* is exceedingly plain, and like hia man
cere altogether unostentatious. His entire suit
ccnsinU of plain cloth, not of tho finest texture—
hi* oravat i* a black silk tied closely ronod h.«
n«:ck, and partly concealed ; be hi.* short collar,
i which is thrown open,.exhibiting a carelessness
predominant among military men who p&y more
regard to the tnusre«tsnf lfi.-ir country, that! to a
personal di-play on any occaron, be it ever so
great or important. 1 cotifeu 1 could not avoid
watt-hint: the old gentleman’* bauds, which really
, appeared to r«et nacomforUb’e in a pair ofbrown
linen glovei! When nloae. fir a minute, he kept
ccntmnally pu’lmz and tagging at the gloves—
• -mocihing one hand over Iho other and interlacing
his firgerr, as if conscious all. the time that their
freedom had been curt- lied. There was, also, an
' air cf awkwarduers abont his manner of ustog
them, es if they had been more accustomed to
grasp the hilt of the awerd, than taking bold ofthe
■ delicaie finger* cl many of his guests richly en
cased in eofi and soow white kids.
1 Pasting from the old Genoral, we were prcireoi
' ed to hia daeghter, tho accomplished Mr*. Bliss,
- who always net# in the capicity of hostess on
'■ these “court occasion*." Sbe was etondfng in
r the middle of the same room—her back resting
ngoinst the centre table, surnmatoi by r hast of
admiring friends of both sexes—the received u*
i with a polite courtesy and the blandest smiles.—
Her part, during (he whole evening, was perform
, ed wi’ b great dignity of manner, and with an ease
[ and grace Out would well become any princes*
nf an eastern court. Her farro ia remarkable for
it* complacent beantv. and her figure is rather
slight and tonltlcas. No one would ever take her
«o t*e tho dau.Thier of her Ulnstrioo* sire, judging
: 'rom the total absence and want of family rceem*
tilancc. \\T>lle the old Generai’a fere Is very
Wrongly marked with the frown and a rigid exbi
: t.iiioo of ail those well known traits of firmoes*,
determination, courage and benevolence; her’* is
thflßtrcet and benignant smile of the-rainbow,
itself—pure, placid, and modest, Indicating a
natural refinement of intellect, and a mor
al excellence, nitiime la its own gentle and
tender beauty. Whilst in figure, the veteran of
tbe w.ir#, i* abort limbed, toeg in body, rigid, com
pact, and powerful; with a frame cf iron or ada
mant—heria is the delicate structure ofthe fewr,
with Its grace and gentlenear, and appears a* lithe
and flexible as the gnxclte. Her lathers eyn ia
large, luatrou*, full of expression, and black es

In dress, sßh i« as simple and nnottenlaliocs
as her republican father. She was neatly attired
in a plain pink tulle oflight muslin, with the Short
arm sleeves and neck edged with narrow point
lace. Not an ornament or jewel of any dctcitp*
tion was toibo seen about her person, and in this
respect proved the truthfulness of thst well boown

THE following was given by the cele
brated Dr. Woestfcr Beach, the aathorof the great
medical work entitled “The American Practice of
Medieiae and Family Physician.”
'-Having been mode acquainted with the ingredients
whlfih eomr>o*e McAßUter's All-Healing Oisueent,
and having prescribed and tested it in several cases in
my private practice, 1 have no hesitation in sajir.g or
aertsfytag that it is a Vegetable Remedy, containing
no mineral substance whaiever; that it* ingredient#,
combined-as they are, and nsed as directed by the
Proprietor, are not only harmless, but of great value,
being a truly scientifie Remedy of great powi-n and 1
cheerfully recommend it as a compound which has
done much good, Sod which is adipteif to the cure of
a great variety of coses. Though 1 have ncv*t either
rtcomaetded or engaged ia the sole of secret medi
cines, regard for the tntlv hcaeu, eonscicnunus, hu
mane character of the Proprietor oftU* Ointment,
and the valse of his discovery, oblige me u> say thus
much regarding it. W. BEACH, D.JD."

From the Reading Eagle
There was never, perhaps, a Medicine brought be
fore the public, that hat in to shop a time won tech n
reputation as McAllister's AU-Ueuliux or World
Salve. Almost every persan that has made trial of it
speaks warmly inks prnl«e. One bat been cured by
it of the most painfol rheumatism, another of the pile*,
a third of a troublesome pain in the side, a founts of a
swelling in tho limbs, Ac. If it docs not give imme
diate relief, in every cose, it can do no injury, being
applied outwardly;
As another evidence of the wonderful heating pow -
er possessed by thissslve, we subtoin (be following
certificate, from a respectable citizen of Maideuerrek
township, ia this county:
Maidencreek, Berks eo, March 30,18)7.
Messrs. Ritter A Co:—I desire to inform you that I
wits entirely cored of ;a severe pain in tbc back, by the
use of McAllister's All-Healing Salve, which I pur
chased from yon.. I suffered with it for stboui TO yean,
and at night was unable to sleep. Daring that time 1
tried various remedies, which were preserilmd lor me
by physicians anlother persons, without reccivingtany
relief, and at last made trial of this Sa.ve, with a re
sult favorable beyond expectation. lam now entire
ly free from the pain, ana enjoy at night a peaceful
and sweet sleep.. I have also used ilte Salve sine; for
tooth ache and other complaints, with similar happy,
results. Your friend, John HoL&anucit.
