TEMPERANCE.
_ AN ADDRESS -
Daiwa before the Conowago Temperance Society
near lionteratown, 11th April, 1535,
131' ROBERT MI IMENY, ESQ.
Anew-Grimm! I would congratulate
you on the annual return of the meeting of
this society, yet it is with diffidence that I
enter on the duty assigned me to deliver an
address to you on this occasion. But not
withstanding the profound statesman, the
eloquent orator, professional men of the bar
and the pulpit have almost exhausted the
subject and left nothing now to be said, it
sometimes happens that men in more ob
. ,cure stations in life, and circumscribed a
bilities, are called upon to espouse and de
- fend (because of Temperance, and expose
intemperance, which is demoralizing in its
character and destructive to the souls and
bOdies of men. This humble station in life
is my lot; and although I may not be able
to advance any thing new on the subject,
may I not be permitted to follow the exam
ple laid down in the Scriptures of adding
"line upon line, and precept upon ptecepte
and if I can be the means of convincing one
single person of the impropriety of using
Ardent Spirits, either temperately or intem
perately, (except as a medicine,)' and sign
the temperance pledge, I would feel myself
more than compensated for the little time
spent in preparing these remarks.
Then, fellow-citizens, in order to obviate
any difficulty on your minds, and to bring
this subject fairly before you with all its so
lemnity, and all its importance, I will here
make the inquiry, and endeavor to answer
it as briefly as possible, Is the temperance
cause the cause of God, and does it meet the
smiles and approbation of Heaven?
In answer to this inquiry, permit me, first,
to call. your attention to the temperance
cause in its infancy but a few years back,
and
. to its steady but rapid progress ever
since—now embracing in number more than
one-twelfth of the population ofthese United
States, and extending its influence over al- 1
most) the whole inhabitable globe, bearing
(lowa all' opposition and every obstacle
thrown in its way; and then refer you to a
passage of Scripture, in the Acts of the A
postles. When these Apostles were enga
ged in the preaching and spread of the Go
spel, and being accused and arraigned by the
people, one of the Jewish counsel, named
Gamaliel, an expounder of the law, stood up,
and (after quoting several examples of sects
before them,) addressed the people in these
words—phap. sth, 38th and 39th ; --"And
poi! I say unto you, refrain from these men
"-' them alone; for if this counsel or this
I,it will come to
and is likely to
,'' Scripture alone
- e-aifirmation of this
41) men are the prin
- ~dnoting this good cause,
..iteve that they are under the
-aid direction of that good spirit
sheds life and light all around. But
*lien we take in connexion the following
' facts from the report of the American Tern
prance Society,- the Mats am - um 7,5116
Tempertinarßocieties in the United States,
Thitiraering 1,250,000 members; and altho'
it is of very recent date that the temperance
cause has crossed the ocean, the United
Kingdom of Great Britain has 150,000
members who have joined the temperance
cause. Its progress is still onward in other -
countries; and our Missionaries (says Doctor •
Philips,) have found it to be the most valtia
• ble auxiliary in promoting the cause of God
they ever had in Africa. And it is a fact,
taken from authentic documents, that in-
temperance has been productive of two.
. thirds of the poverty—four-fifths of all the
• crimes, and more than one-half the cases of
madness in our country., Now, from all
these facts, who could, or who would even
• dare to say, that the temperance cause is
not a humane, a benevolent, a glorious and
a righteous cause—worthy of every Chris
tian, every Philanthropist, and every friend
. of his country?
• Let, me here, for a moment, advert to a
few of the many evils of intemperance—(by
this I mean the intemperate use of Ardent
Spirits.) Although intemperance is not
commendable in any shape, yet it is by in- .
dulging too freely in this liquid poison,which
has been the fruitful source of so much pov
erty, crime and human misery, and filling
our penitentiaries, our jails' and poor-houses
to overflowing—and has furnished one of
the most potent engines in the hands of the
grand adversary of souls against the spread 1
of the gospel;• and of pure and vital godliness 1
in our land—and of hurrying many thou
sands yearly unprepared to a premature
grave, many of them leaving their wives and
children houseless and pennyless, nothing
left on this side of the grave, but a broken •
heart, and the sad reflections of the past and
forebodings of the future! This is no chi
niers, no idle fancy of the brain. It is a
true but very imperfect picture. I might
••
now appeal to every one of my audience for
the truth of these remarks, and I might here
enumerate a long and black catalogue of
. -:crimes that follow such a course, but I for
heir. It is not my object to harrow up un- '
pleasant feelings in aoy of your minds.— j
Who, then, is there that would not wish to
be a member of a Temperance Society?--
Who that loves the peace and good order of
society—who that would be willing to lessen
the amount of crime, of poverty and human
',wretchedness, can withhold their namesfor
itch benevolent purposes?
rI would, then, in the name of this society,
cordially and affectionately invite one and ,
ill of my neighbors and fellow-citizens, male
s .
,rid female, to join with, us, and particularly
tbefemale part of my audience: Many ob
indigos have ; been raised against females
Wrung, the tem perance pledge—that they
- risk and are not exposed to tempta
d danger like men—that they can
• 4. • influence on society. But let me
tell yea, that I do believe much depends on
your efforts and your united efforts in sup
pressmg intemperance; and besides among
your sex are the principal sufferers. Come,
then, and set your example. You know not
bat your example may have a powerful in
fluence. And who knows but you may be
the means of saving some near and dear re la
tire—some beloved friend or companion
from becoming the devotee of intemperance?
And, 0! who loomrs but you may be the in.
strument in the hands of Divine Providence,
of saving a soul from everlasting death? for
the Scripture says,-“No drunkard shall in
herit the kingdom of Heaven!"
Many objections have been raised against
signing the Temperance Pledge. I will
I not °caw your time in enumerating them,
for they have beep as often met and refuted.
Some of you, fellow-citizens, have your oh
jectioree and I very well know, that at is a
very difficult matter to overcome long es
tablished habits and customs, and I am will
ing. to respect those objections; but the ex
periment has been tried by some around
you, and I , for one, think you hazard noth
ing. Ten deprive yourselves of no legal
right. Yea do not lesien the amount of
comfort and domestic happiness; and in a
pecuniary point ofview, if you was to make
the calculation on both sides of t he question,
I think you would be satisfied that the loss
would be very small, if any. But, supposing
you had to make a small sacrifice, who
would not be willing for such an amount of
goad? And, besides all this, we have the
signatures and the declarations of eighty
four Physicians of the City and County of
Philadelphia, that men in health are never
benefitted by the use of ardent spirits. But
on the contrary, it frequently subjects them
to disease and death; and diseases through
Intemperance, are more difficult of cure and
fatal in their termination. This fact alone
speaks volumes in fiver of the temperance
cause. All we ask, then, of you, as to bring
these remarks home to yourselves; reflect
on the subject, weigh it deliberately, and
then decide for yourselves.
Since the mighty objection of signing
!pledges has in same measure been done a
-1 way, and men and women are voluntarily
and daily giving and signing pledges in oth- '
er matters, and some of them of a very so
feign nature—end vormg men and maidens
are looking anxiously to that happy day
when they will be sidling tostand up before
seine person l e gally authorized, and give a
pledge—yes, and that for life! 0! why re
fuse to sign the temperance pledge, which
may be the very means of enhancing your
earthly joys end comfort! And since it has
been discovered, by a very shrewd young
roan who was opposed to the temperance
Ins; that the ersjeraef Temperance Soc ie
as was to shame those who are opposed to
em from the use of Ardent Spirits, be it
even so; we are willing to take the blame
and me all honest and honorable means in
lour pi. - ..-'.ectr to promote SO good a cause. Anti
may each member et this society look for
ward with pleasing anticipations to the time
when temperance will universally prevail,
and like a mighty foment bear down all op
, position—until it puts down the Monster—

THIS medicine has been before the pub
lie three or four years past and has ac
quired probably a greater degree of popu
larity, than any article ever before introduc
ed into general use. It contains no noxious
article, nor mineral or metallic substance
and iscanelidly compounded so as to always
be of uniform strength and consistency.
It will keep good for years and grows
more pleasant by age. Children are gen
erally very Grad of it, and none will refuse to
take it. It is so well adapted to the various
complaints of chddlren, that every family
exited always keep it m their houses, as
most &milks who have used it, now do.—
Sailors and travelling persons should always
carry rt with them.
This merficine is put up in round brass
moulded vials of two and four ounces' each,
with the words "Ds. D. rarsm's CARBII

written s,mature of D. Jayne to the bottom
of each direction—none others are genuine.
This medicine is not recommended as a
"Panacea" to cure all diseases to "which

TO THE PUBLIC.
Sick and nervous Headache. For the Sum.
mer Complaint or CHOLERA of children it is
unrivalled by any other combination ofmedi
cine ever used. It has repeatedly effected
cures, when every other means had failed
aided by the attendance and skill of the a
blest physicians, that could be procured.—
Obstinate Diarrhmas of} ears standing, have
been removed by the use of a few bottles of
it; violent Dysenteries arrested and Cholera
Morbus cured. The Spasms attending the
Malignant Cholera have always been sup
pressed in from one to three minutes time,
and that much dreaded and fatal disease re
peatedly cured without the aid .of any other
article of medicine. In fact its power over
spasmodic diseases of every kind seem to be
absolute as it has never yet been known to
fail of giving relief in a single instance.—
Griping pains, tormina and tenesmus Choi
ics, Cramps Sic. are also soon removed by it.
Hundreds of females and sedentary per
sons can attest to its superior excellence in
sick and nervous Headaches as two or three
teaspoonful's generally gives them relief in
the course of half an hour.
Children laboring under the Summer
Complaint, have been cured in a short time
after all known remedies had failed:--those
too who have been so extremely emaciated
that their bones almost protruded through
their skins, and all hope of recovery aban
doned, by all who saw them, have by a few
weeks use of this medicine been restored to
perfect health.
CERTI FI CATES.
Certificate from Dr. William Bacon, Pastor ofthe
Baptist Church at Pittsgrove, Salem Co., N. J.
Having boon made acquainted with the ingre
dients composing Dr. Jayno's Carminative Bal
sam, I behove it to be a very happy combination,
and a useful modicino in many complaints which
almost constantly occur in our country, such as
Bowol Affections of children, Cholic, Cramps,
Ltios'eness, Dyspeptic Disordors of tho Stomach,
Coughs, and Affections of the Breast, together
with all those diseases attended with Sourness of
the Stomach; and believe that the regular physi
cian will oflon find it a useful remedy in his hands,
and ono that is proper for domestic use, and can
be put into tho hands of persons at largo with
safety. WM. BACON, M. D.
Pittsgrove, Salem Co. N. J. May 4th, 1831.
Certificate from Dr. Wm. Steeling.
This may certify that I have used Dr. Jayne's
Carminative Balsam very extensively in Bowel
Complaints, and have not the least hesitation in
declaring it superior to any preparation that I
have mot with, fir the relief of those diseases. "

From Dr. M. L. Knapp, late Physician to tho Bal
timore Dispensary, and Agent for the Mary.
land Vaccine Institution.
Baltimore, March 27th, 1833.
Dr. JAYNE—Dear Sir.—You ask me what proofs
I moot with of tho efficacy, ef your medicine. I
earl slay say that I never proscribed a medicine
for Bowel Complaints that has given me so much
satisfaction, and my patients so speedy and per
fect relief as this. Whenever introduced into a
family, it becomes a standing remedy for those
ailments, and is called for again and again; which
I think a pretty good proof of its efficacy and use
fulnese. In Summer Complaint of children. it
has frequently appeared to snatch the little vie
toms, as it wore, from the grave. "It saved the
life of my child, and of such and such a child," I
have repeatedly heard said. In dysenteric affec
tions of adults, I have time and again seen it act
like a charm, and give permanent relief in a few
hours, I may say in a. few minutes. In fille t it is
a valuable medicine,
and no family should bo with.
out it. Respectfully,
M. L. KNAPP, M. D.
From Dr. L. Lawrence
Cedarville, Oct. 9th, 1832.
Dr. D. JAYNIC—boar Sir.—The curative powers
of your Carminative Balsam appears to be fairly
established in all Bowel Complaints, &c.; and
from the experience I have had with the medicine,
I am disposed to think very favorably of it. I
have lately tried it on one of my children, who
was severely handled, and with complete success,
without the use of any other medicine. So far-as
my practice has extended, I think it a desidera
tum in medicine, especially among children, who
are apt to bo affected this way; and which every
practitioner in medicine has found to be a very
troublesome disease. Respectfully,
LEONARD LAWRENCE, M. D.
From Dr. Charles Hammond.
Dr. JAYNE—Dear Sir.—l have made nee of the
Carminative Balsam prepared by you for Com'.
plaints of the Bowels, with complete success in
every case and I do not hesitate to recommend it
to the patronage of the public as a medicine,
worthy of their particular notice.

Leesburg, Va. Oct. sth, 1834.
From the Rev. Charles J. Hopkins, Pastor of the
Baptist Church at Salem N. J.
Dr. JAYNE—Dear Sir.—Understanding you
woro about to publish certificates respecting your
valuable Carminative Balsam, I thought if it would
bo of any service to you, I would wish to boar a
public testimony in its favor; as wo have proved
its excellency very frequently in our family, and
also administered it to our friends, who havo visi
ted us, and always found it gave thorn speedy re.

This valuable medicine, the result of
twenty years experience and unparalleled
success in the extensive and highly respec
table practice of the proprietor, patronised
by the faculty and nobility,is now introduced
to the notice of the American public, at the
earnest solicitation of a number of gentle.
men of long and high standing in the profes
sion. It is hoped, as a preliminary step, to
check the evils and fatal consequences °lia
r ing fiom the use of the numorouddeleterious
nostrums foisted upon the public by the aid
of fabricated proofs of miraculous cures,and
other frauds, by a set of mercenary, unprin
cipled pretenders, so totally ignorant of
medical science that it is impossible the
monstrous delusion can any longer g o down
with the intelligent people of this country.
These pills, mild and agreeable in their na
ture, should be kept in every family in cases
of sudden illness, for by their prompt ad.
ministration, cholera, 'cramps, spasms, , fe
vers, and other alarming complaints, which
too often prove.fatal; may be speedily cured
or prevented. In fact, all those who value
good health should never be without them.
They are sold in packets, at 60-cents, $l,

FOR FEMALES.
DR. RELFE'S AROMATIC PILLS
HAVE been long celebrated as a most
valuable and efficacious remedy against
those general complaints peculiar to the fe
male portion of society. They cleanse, pu
rify and promote a free and brisk circulation
of the blood, when become sluggish and lan
guid from the afflicting ailments for which
these Pills are a safe and effbctual specific.
They assist the suspended operations of the
sanguiferous system, when nature requires
it, and rectify the irregular habits of the un
healthy female whose sickly and palid coun
tenance becomes re-animated, and freshens
with the natural glow of restored health.
They are a tried and approved remedy in
obstructions, debility, hypochondria, green
sickness,giddiness, valpitation of the heart,
bad digestion, loathing of foo c d,jains of the
stomach, shortness of breath, upon every
little motion, sinking of the spirits, and its
consequence, a dejected countenance and
dislike for exercise and conversation. They
are equally conducive to the health of mar
ried ladies, except in cases of pregnancy, or
hectic and consumptive habits, when they
must not be taken. But they may be ad
ministered to great advantage a month or
more after accouChMent, for the purpose of
cleansing the system and purging those gross
humours, which, when retained, lay the
oundation of numerous diseases, and render
the incautious subject unhealthy for life.—
They should also be taken by all women
from 45 to 50, to prevent the dangerous dis
orders consequent upon that critical period
of female life. They have been further
found, by experience, to afford a powerful
remedies in all hypochondratc, hysteric and
vaporish disorders, both in men and women,
whose nervous system they strengthen and
regulate, aid nature in throwing off thOse
gross and superabundant humours which ]
produce melancholy and depression of spiri ts,
renovate the body, re-animate the mind, and
diffuse a general cheerfulness and elasticity
throughout the whole system. Price 81 50
