/110 THE PUBLIC, and particularly to lup former
JL potes,is of this cite:—Having retired from the
pray rice of Medicine. I may he permit , d to nay, that it
has (alien to I lie loi of I lii few persons to ilaVe enjoyed
so liberal or large a share of otwt retrical practice as my
own Ilan berti for ill, last :1 0 or 40 years.
The experience of that long period of active life, and the
filet of my having been twice, since 1830, associated with
Dr. n. A. Wilson, In the practice of medicine, (in kV h a
period of five years.) enaliles me to judge fully of the
merits of lOs pith%
Eo convenient, so efficient, anti yet so safe, did 1 esteem
these pills, that for the last five years in my practice for
the cure of chronic diseases, or whatever noun , . and those
of females in pa titular, I have used more al them than
all other medicines.
Like every other medicine, this must fail in come in
:inner., lint in my hands there has been less di ,, appoint
went and 'norm' sat isfart ion in lac adminkl rat inn of this
one remedy than of ail others; its iood effects sometimes
quite animii,hirig me.
InV patient required a salo aperient uu•dicine en her
fore or after parturition, the Wilson's p' .!s were Just
the thing I wanted.
Ira dyspeptic acid condition of t he stomach, combined
wish costiveness or innetivd y of the liver.conFiitnted the
dist-a.e my patient. the pitis were just the thing I
wa Writ.
I treated a case requiring an emmenagogue, the
Wilson's pills were just the thlog I wanted.
If palpitation, headache, flushed countenance, or other
indicating a disturbance of the circulatory
and secretory systems, annoyed my patient at the 'turn
of life,' the Wilson's were just the thing I wanted.
Thus, without resp2et to the name, a disease might
happen to wear at the time I have had it under treat•
talent, particular indications or symmons arising, were
al•.tays nto‘t promptly and most Itapiiily met by the
Wilsou'epalts.
That so great a number ofdiseases, and sometimes an.
parentiy opposite ogles, In which I have need these pills,
should be clued more reedit+ , by them than by Any other
'remedy. IHAy at Gnu seem strange and contradictory, but
ichy it is so is asc Lear Lo my plied as that a great many
persons should Lecoarte thirsty from Ls many diferent
causes. said yet aft require that common and greatest of
all blessings, water toquench their thirst.
in.conclusion, it is due the ,tputation of the medicine
and the public, to say ctacidayily ant sueoadit lonally, Mat
the Wilson's pifls acetiteouis , combination I have ever
nut with loan?" tongcoorse of practice, that really pos
eeseesanything cstrative or specific for sick headache,

was equal to a frigate of any b her 134-,
The ftdlowing is Mr. Cooper's deserip,

at tittu._
Th Conititution next stood to the south•
ward, and on the 19. h, at 2 P. M. in 1at.41
deg. 41 min.., long 55 deg. 48 sin., a sail
was made from the mast-head, bearing E.
S. E., and to teem ard, tflough the distance;
prevented her from being discovered. The
Constitution immediately made sail
chase, and at three, the stranger was as..
certained to be a ship on the starboard
tack, under easy canvass, and close hauled,
lialf an hour later, she was distinctly made
out to be a frigate and no doubt was en,
tertained of her IN lug art enemY:' The A ,
metican ship kept running free until she
was within a league of the frigate to lee,
ward, when she began to shorten sail. By
this time,the enemy had laid his main top'
sail aback, in waiting for the Constfto!ioq
to come down, with every thing teady tg
er gage.
• Perceiving that the Englishinan sought
l a combat, Captain Hull made his oityn pre
parations with the greatest deliberation•—
The Constitution, consequently, furled her
topgallant sails, and Mowed aft her light
stay sails and flying jib. Scion after, she
took a second ret fin the topsails, hauled
tin the courses,sent down royal yards,clear,
led fur action, and beat to quarters. At 5,
the chaise hoisted three English ensigns,
and immediately aft, :he opened her fire,
at long gun shot, wearing several times, to
rake and prevent beihg raked. The Con
stitution occasionally awed as -she
proached, to avoid being raked, and shiq
fired a few guns as they bore, but her ob—
ject was not to commence the action seri*
ously until quite close.
At 6 o'clock, the enemy bore up end run
on, under his three topsails and jib with .
the wind on his quarter. As this was an
indication of a readiness to receive his any
tagonist, in a fair yard-aim and yardmai t s r
fight, the Constitution immediately set bee
main topgallant sail and foresail to get a
long side, At a little after 6, the bowsof
