REMEDY
Forthe Difficulty of Hear-
ing. |
Dz. D. GREEN.
i AKES this method of letting society
know that he has discovered a new
and easy way of assisting those who are
hord of hearing, quite @ new way.
Knowing that Providence has permitted
a remedy to grow for every disease he
has made it his study, this number of years
‘past, to try to find out this remedy.
At length he flatters himself of being
successful, more so than any man yet
The remedy generally gives help ex-
tept to very old people, who began to
loose their eye-sight about the time {hat}.
the hearing becomes weakned. To ali
others it as yet, has seldom failed of re-
storing that great blessing of hearing.
Directions can be sent to the patient
by postor otherways, to any place how-
ever distant. At the same time, it may
be some-what sattisfactory to those dis
tressed to know that they may pursue
their usual business, and to eat and drink
what tastes best.
"The preparing transmission, &c. of the
remedy, will come to about five dollars
One great object is to defuse its bene-
fits as far as possible, therefore, all prin-
ters who will give the above an occasion-
al insertion, shall receive its advantages
for themselves, or relatives in thus assist-
ing to place it within the reach of the
distressed. :
Mr. Editor,
Many people in letters to me, express
a wish to have the principle, of cure
explained to them. This I cheerfully
will do
Principle of cure is to mvigorate the
whole system, for ;
« Whatever has a tendency to strength-
en the whole nervous system, necessarily
‘will strengthen any weak part.
Dr Rush's Lectures.
This doctrine we have been taught in
his lecture room—and on this doctrine
my method ot cure is founded. Now as
hard hearing is nothing more than a
weakness of the ears—it of course fol-
lows, that by strengthening the whole
nervous system .~—1his weakness will be
strengthened at the same time ; comse-
quently, hearing returns
Further—Perhaps it may not be amiss
‘to make known, that the remedy is not
to be put into the cars.
No—not even the least particle of it.
Putting things into them.has been the
ruin of thousands,
On the contrary, the reader will be
pleased to take notice that my principle
of cure goes quite the contrary way. al-
together so—and thus, by this contrary
way by this new way, (if we may ex-
press ourselves) a cure is perfected——and
%hat too, without any kind of danger to
the ears, and ‘with very little trouble to
the patient.

Declaration
INDEPENDENCE.
IN June 1816, the Subcriber issued pro-
posals for a splendid, and in all respects
an American edition ef the DECLARATION
oF INDEPENDENCE; with fac similies
of the subscribers to that national docu-
ment.
He advertised that the size of the pa-
per should be 36 by 24 inches; of the
best quality that Mr. Amies could man:
ufacture.
The design in bas relief, encircling the
Declaration of Indepencence would be the
work of Mr. Briprort. It was to be
surmounted by the Arms of the United
States, and adorned with medallion Por-
traits of General Washington, John Han-
cock and Thomas Jefferson. The Arms
of the Thirteen United States in medalli-
on, encircled by characteristic ornaments,
was meant to form the remainder of the
ordon.
The whole design was to be engraved

§ The Arms ofthe several states to be
copied from official documents and exec ie
ted with a parucular eye 10 heraldic accgs
racy. y ge ;
An expectation was entertained that tie
work would be ready tor publication ¥
February 1817, but this expectation cansos
be realized.
~The publisher duly impressed with the
importance of the duty he has imposed yp.
on himself; is determined, that all the ex-
pectations he has raised as to the ACCU
cy, Taste, und Splendor ofthe publication
shali be fully realized. The difficulges
that have presented themselves have heen
greater than was expected, and the ¢xe
pence curred heavier than had besn ¢yia
culated : but the general approbation wil
which the Proposals were received, has ig.
ced the publisher to perseverance, and
determines him to make this edition wow
thy the principles which it is Intended 19
perpetuate, and the nation to whomit shal =
be dedicated.
It is needless to speak of the merits of
the Artists employed : they are kiown:
could better have been found, they would
have been resorted to, on this occasion.
The Plate has been under the graver
ever since last May ; but such is the quan-
tity ot work, and the styte of execution, thug
it is not yet in the power of the Subscribep
to promiseits completion, before the next
anniversary ofthe day ou which Indepen~
dence was proclaimed.
It is found that the Paper will require
to be 38 by 26 instead of 36 by 24 inches,
as there is no Copper-plate Press suffii-
cépusiarge to work off such an impressi
a Press must be made for he ay
Lhe difficulty of procuring ¢fficial impres.
sions, drawings and descriptions of the
Arms of the respective States, has proved
another source of delay. Many of those
that have been received, are of so imper.
lect and confined a’ character-—the diaw-
gs so inclegant, and often so inaccuraie
not conforming in design to the certified
description—~that it was found indispensa«
ble to engage an Artist of science, taste
and skill, to reconcile the discordant mas
terials, and make the drawings harmonize
with the descriptions on record. This
task Mr. Sully has undertaken; and is pro-
ceeding in it with ail the zcal that the sub-
ject requires ; and he will compleat the
Arms of the several States in such a man-
ner as to make this publication the stand- |
ard of reference for accurate knowledge’
on tne heraldry of the Union, and asa spes
cimen of National taste. 7
