An Anecdote of the Far West.—An arnasingcof
eespondent of the New York Tribuno, writing from 4
t&1 in the West, relates the following - circumstance:
"Speaking of living, reminds me of an anecdote
calatettto me by a profesior in ono of our colleges.—
Sent hereby the State for scientifical purposes, he took
with him, as a companion, a yoenger brother, who had
just graduated, and an old hunter, for a guide, eook,
iota provider general: Leaving, one day, a clearing
in which some fine peas were growing, they took along
a small quantity to give relish to a dinner some day
in the torest. At length, after a hard forenoon's work,
they pitched their encampment one day on the borders
of a lake in the heart of the woods. "Come:" paid .
the professor, "let us have those peas to-day." .So,
while be was taking some observations, the old hunter
and the young graduate prepared the dinner.
After a while the professor said he noticed an unu
sual chuckling between the student and the bunter.—
Suspecting some trickery, he sauntered quietly up to
*lards the fire; casting his eyes around, he observed
they were making wooden spoons with theirpanknives.
All at once it flashed upon him thatthey had nothing
but penknives to eat their peas with, and that there
WU a conspiracy to rob him of his share. Saving
asothing,he walked to the lake shore, and picking op
cne of those large muscle shells, holding more than an
ordinary spoon, be fitted a split stick to it fora handle,
and clapped them both in his pocket. Then saunter
ing back, is order to prevent them making very exten
sive preparations, he kept around until the peas were
cooked. His presence rather obstructed their design,
and they were aide to finish but very shallow spoons
-after all. The pews were at length poured into the
'common dish, and le! it was all soup.
To prevent the possibility of the professors' getting
a moiety, they bad cooked them so that the peas were
like "rari. nantes in gur gite vasto."--•
loiagine them at length all seated on the ground
around theirfood, each stabbing with his penknife at
the peas, which fledged under tho surface at every
blow, eluding every effort to catch them. After this
process had been carried on a while, to the ill-suppres
sed merriment of the student and bunter, they whip
ped out their wooden spoons, and, flourishing them
over their heads with a loud "Hurrah!" made a dive
at the peos.4 ,- The professor coolly drew forth his
huge rims - de-shed and stick, and, fitting them together,
began to kale up the soup. The hunter and the grad
ontestoriped in utter amazement, and with their spoons
suspended half way to their mouths, gazed at the quiet
professor; who, without uttering a word or changing a
feature, diligently plied his shell. In a few moments
every pea had vanished; and the bunter, as ho licked
empty etkicin, confessed he had been fairly out-nut
mceuVred.

During which time its value has been tested by thou

which have their on in a common Catarrh or Cold,
and which this medicine is designed to cure. The
result of this trial ling been to. place "Duncan's Reme
dy" at the head of the patent medicines of the day.
la ITS OWN MERIT 6 AND XXCALLANCE,
it hai attained a popularity excelling that of any other
preparation. now offered to the public for the preven-

CONSUMPTION,
it is now offered to the nfilictect with confidence. ntt
he BEST preparation for Coughs,. Colds, &c. extant.
We are warranted in assuming for it this high charac
ter, by the proofs, which we are constamly receiving,
of the invaluable benefits derived from its use. Tes-
timonials and recommendations of the strongest kind
aro constantly being received from all quarter, by the
Proprietor and Agents.
In relieving cases of Asthma, Difficulty in Breathing
Pain in the Side and Breast, it is unequalled; in cur
ing Bronchitis, Coughs and Colds, and in short remov
ing all the symptoms of approaching Pulmonary Con
gumption,
IT3 SUCCESS HAS HERIf UNPARALELLED
No other medicine has proved itself so really inval
uable.- Thousands in Pittsburgh and the vicinity, are.
as far as human agency is concerned, indebted to Dr.
Duncan's Expectorant Remedy fur prolonging life and
health. Many persons after using the other cough
medicines of tho day without etrect, have been com
pletely restored by this truly
GREAT DISCOVERY in the HEALING ART.
A strong and undoubted evidence of Ps worth, is to
be found ;n the high degree of popular favor which it
has received since its introduction into the West.—
Wherever an agency has been opened for its sale, and
wherever it has received a fair and honest trial, it has
become firmly established as a
'STANDARD FAMILY MEDICINE.
It is rapidly superseding the use of the many nos
trums, which have so longimpo,sed upon the communi
ty, which have obtained their name only by pulling
and braggadocio, and which are DOW destined to be
thrown aside to make way for the best cough medicine
of the present ago. It is not pretended that it will
positively cure every,case of the disease, for which it
is designed, but it is honestly believed that in every
case where it gets a fair chance it will effect a cure.
Coming, then, before the people with the highest
recommendations, it it at least, worthy of a trial by all
who are afflicted with any of that large and dangerous
class of diseases.
The following is a specimen of the numerous testi
monials which we have received. It is from a PHY
SICIAN of high standing in Ohio.
Dear Sir—Having had occasion to witness the ef
fect of Dr. Duncan's Expectorant Remedy on Mr Eli
Young in a case of Pulmonary Consumption, 1 felt it
my duty to make a briefstatement in order that others
that are or may be afflicted with the same complaint
may be benefitted by the same remedy.
He was attacked with inflammation in the left lobe
of the lungs in March 18 43, attended with acute pain,
great difficulty of breathing, and a severe cough, which
preceded rapidly to suppuration: and not withstanding
the use and application of the best remedies prescribed
by Jur authors, the complaint in a few days began to
exhibit evident symptoms of ulceration.
In this distressing stage of the complaint, I had re
couise to Dr Deacon's Expectorant Remedy for con
enmption, which had the effect of checking the disease
immediately, and in a few days the pain ceased, •the
breathing became free and easy, the cough left him,
and the expectoration subsided, the consequences of
which was that in using six bottles he ha.s recovered
his health, and is restored to his family.
1 do hereby certify the above to be true statement of
my case as far as comes within my knowledge.

COPY OF A LATUR FROM DNS. LAWRENCY AN
H6NRICKSON
New Lebanon, Slate of New York.
WORTHY FRlEND:—Having made a thorough trial
of the Medicated Vavor Bath for four months past, in
our societies in New Lebanon and Watervliet, we think
it but justice to state, that we consider it a valuable
improvement in the healing art. Its power in reduc
ing both chronic and acute inflanunion, also fn remov
ing spasms, is certainly very great. In cases of ob
structed perspiration, it is unquestionably the safest
and best remedy that we have ever seen. Several
persons in our society, who were scarcely free from a
catarrhal affection during most of the winter months
for several years past, have found permanent relief by
using the Bath a few times; and the predisposition to
take cold, as it is commonly termed, seems to be whol
ly removed. Obstructed perspiration, is certainly in
ear changeable climate, one of the most fruitful sour
ces of disease, and any remedy that is capable of re
moving the predisposition to it, must be considered a
great blessingto mankind; and as such we do not hesi
tate to recommend the Medicated Vapor Bath.

must be made up by adulteration; dye woods have at

Quoth Josh's dulcinia tohim ember night,
To make yourn look so, with a grin, replied Josh,
I've bought you a bottle of Thorn's Tooth Wash,
'Tis the best now in use, so the gentlefolks say,
And since they have tried this, cast all others away.
But to prove it the best to make theteeth sirine,
Look again, my dear Sal, at tke lustre of mime.
Then try this groat tooth wash,
The Teaberry tooth
And see if this tooth wash of Thorn's is not fine.
Having tried Dr. "Thorn's Tea Berry Tooth Wash,"
and become acquain tedwit It the i ngredients of its com

as it is one of the most pleasant tooth washes now in
DAVID HUNT, Dentist.
Pittsburgh, Sept. 15, 1842.
I take pleasure in stating, having made use of
"Thorn's Tea Berry Tooth Wash," that it is one of the
best dentrifices in use. Being in aliquidform. it com
bines neatness with convenience. While it cleanses
the enamel end removes the tartar from the teeth, its
perfume yields a fragrance peculiarly desirable.
J. P. TIBBETTS, N.. D.
The undersigned have used ..Tiern's Compound
Tea Berry Tooth Wash,'" and have found it to be an
extremely pleasant dentrifice , exercising a most salu
tary influence over the Teeth and Gums; preserving
those indispensable members from premature decay,
preventing the accumulation of Tartar, and , purifying l
the Breath. • Having thoroughly tested its virtues, we
take pleasurein recommending it to the public., believ
