03-We think the writer of the article in a late
number of the Lutheran Observer over the signature
inately condemns the conduct of those "christian
members of families" who permit a certain valuable
periodical to come into their circle. And before he
sets about throwing stones at the glass-houses of his
neighbors,ho should take care that his own "frail ten
ement" be either insured or stone—proof! The spir
it evinced by. him, is too much akin to that to be
gathered from the dog in the manger; and he should
have learned before thin, that the world and all chris
tcndom cannot look to him for that perfection which
ho so modestly attempts to make us believe he is
entitled to. It would also be advisiblo when next he
sends forth a sally of his narrow-souled peccadilloes
for the Observer, he puts on his "own garment,"
and not attempt to "roar" in a borrowed "skin."
Southern Literary Messenger.
gj•This highly interesting periodical for No
vember has already been received. It is well stor
ed with solid and entertaining articles. We fully
accord to the Messenger all that is said of it by the
talented Editor of the Pittsburg .Visiter. Ile says:
The work as a series claims respect for the even-
DOH with which it maintains its course, rarely falling
one month to rise to a greater elevation the next.—
There can exist DO possible reason why there should
appear these fluctuations in a well conducted maga
zine. If the censor of its materials be master of his
art, he will be enabled by proper judgment to render
the onward course of his publication one of improve
ment, but should be relax his vigilance one month
with the vies, of making up for the deficiency in his
subsequent effort, he will most probably find that the
tide of public opinion has set too strongly against him
and he will be justly censured as the due reward of
hie idleness In making these remarks, we feel that
we are paying a just tribute to the ability, zeal and
untiring perseverance of the editor of the Messenger.
Earnestly intent on the one great object, the making
his periodical worthy of an undivided support from all
the patrons of liberal literature, we find him sending
out month after mouth a compilation of rich and pow
erful articles, which for strength and ant stateliness
may vie with the contents of the proudest magazines
of Great Britain. We feel proud of the blesseuger as
occupying this position, and as the feeling is altogeth
er American, wo prefer a claim upon the indulgence
of our readers for intruding upon them what may ap
pear tedious in the foregoing."
The Milted Btatee Gazette thus speaks of the
Messenger:
Sourucart LrrettAny Mcssarioun.—The
• November number of this periodical now
before us, is one of great claim to approval,
and chews on the part of its able conductor,
a devotion to his labors that has rarely fail
ed of commanding success. It is gratifying
for us to know, that while our Southern
brethren are liberal in their subscriptions to
the periodicals of the Middle and Eastern
States, they have among them ono worthy
of their patronage, which also commends
them and their worth,to the kind regard and
approval of their distant brethren. The
commendations bestowed on the Messenger,
have, in our opinion, been well deserved-

Trial of ilrifiterm SiGwarZ.
The trial of WILLI AM STEWA RT, in Baltimore,
for the murder of his own father, closed on Satur
day night, the 27th of October, and on Sunday
evening at half past eight o'clock, the jury return
ed a verdict of murder in the second degree! The
case excited the most intense interest, and during
the whole day an immense crowd surrounded the
Court House. 'rho Baltimore Chronicle just:) ,
speaks of the case as being ono of the most extra•
ordinary instances of atrocious homicide on record
in the annals of crime, and it appears to us that
the verdict is as extraordinary as the crime, fur
Stewart waseither guilty or not guilty,and if guilty
at all,it was of the highest crime known to the law.
The evidence is volumnious, and wo therefore
subjoin from the Baltimore Chronicle a history of
the case as given in the opening address for the
prosecution, the facts there stated having been ful
ly sustained by the evidence:—
The Attorney for the State,Geo. R. Rich
ardson, Esq. in opening the ease, stated to
the Jury that it was his intention merely to
recapitulate the facts or the case, and leave
the argument to a subsequent period. On
the morning of the 22d June, 18:38, said M r.
' R., a short distance from the city,in an east
erly direction, a body was discovered which
gave evident tokens of having been cruelly,
butcherously murdered during the night be
fore. So mangled was the corpse that none
but those most intimate with the individual
while living, could have identified it. So
mangled was the corpse that it seemed as
though it had been hacked and butchered to
prevent its being identified. Any one of
the principal wounds discovered upon the
individual would have killed him—a pistol
ball had passed along the side of the neck
and lodged in the spine—various other wounds
were inflicted by a hatchet—one across the
eyes so as to nearly sever the upper from
the lower part of the head—another across
the whole side of the cheek—another on the
other side of the filco—there was also a stab
in the back, and others in various parts of
the body. From these wounds it not only
appeared that death was inevitable, but the
number and character of the wounds inflicted
proved that the deed had been committed with
malice prepense—with deliberation and fore.
thought. Upon this point no doubt could exist.--
and he presumed the counsel for the prisoner
would not differ with him in opinion that the
character of the act was murdar in the first de
gree. The body lay where killed, until it was
soon by the brother of the deceased.
This was the offence. Now for tho offonder.—
boon suspected, and arrested the second day after
the murder. Ho was arrested on board the steam
boat Maryland, on her arrival from the Eastern
Shore on Saturday evening eller the murder was
committed. [Jo was carried to the police office
where ho was examinedho was asked for his
papers and ho placed in the hands of the officer
some small bills and papers, of no note, which he
said wore all in his possession. He was asked for
the will of his father—ho replied that lie knew
nothing of it. [Tie hat which, during the first part
of the enroll, had not been examined, was then
searched and .a paper taken from it, on seeing
' which, before the paper was opened, he exclaimed
"Good Lord: did riot know it was there." That
paper was the will, leaving to him all tho property
of which his father was possossed,aftor his decease.
Upon his person there was found a paper of balls
—another containing powder. On being asked
what they were for, ho said that they belonged to
his pistols. Ho was asked for them—stated that
they wore at home at his uncle's, in a particular
spot, which he described. Search was made,and
the pistols wore found in the place he had named,
together with some powder and pistol moulds.—
When the pistols were found one was loaded,prim.
ed, and half cocked—the other was unloadod,giv_
ing evident marks of having boon lately fired.—
These pistols wore found on Saturday—he, the
prosecutor, allodged that the ono bearing the
marks of having boon discharged, was fired on
Thursday night. [The prosecutor More exhibited
the pistols to the Court.]
Tho body of the murdered man had been exhum
ed—the ball extracted by Dr. Durkee—anti upon
examination, it corresponded exactly with the ball
of the other pistol, and with the chamber of the
discharged pistol. Those pistols were what is
called screw barrel pistols, and had about them
this peculiarity:—ln loading them no wadding is
used—the powder is placed in the chamber, and
ball placed on it, and the barrel screwed on, and
unless tho ball fits precisely, the powder will run
out when turned up—and another peculiarity is,
that they are the only kind of fire arms in which
the interior of the barrels aro not the sumo size
throughout their whole length, being larger at the
chamber or place whore the ball is deposited, and
the barrel scree cal on than at the muzzle, so that
tho ball when fired will be of an oblong shape al
ter passing out of the muzzle, and a ball which is
used for such pistols, cannot be put into the muz.
zle. Ho said that the ball extracted was of an ob.
long shape, and could be put into the discharged
pietul,which was found as before atatod,and which
he then hold In his hand.
So much for the pistol. Another instrument of
death wag the hatchet. This hatchet, (exhibiting
one to the Jury,) was found within ono or two
hundred yards of the deceased, giving evident
marks of having been used upon the person ofthe
deceased,being marked with blood upon the blade,
and for some distance up tho handle—a precisely
similar hatchet was purchased of Matthew Drake.
at tho corner of Light and Lombard atroot,by the
prisoner, between 10 and 11 o'clock, A. M. on
Thursday morning,and hatchets of that mark and
color could not.be found at any place in the city,
except Matthew Drako'e. On Thursday morning
the prisoner called upon Mi. Drake, and inquired
for a hatchet—examined Borne, and about half an
hour after returned and purchased unc. When
asked by Mr. Drake if he would have it wrapped
up, ho said no, ho wanted it for immediate use.
On Saturday evening, after his arrest; and while
at the dlo••istrato's, Drake asked him what ho had
done with the hatchet purchased from him. lie
replied that ho had left it at Mr. Whitely's auction
store.
On Friday morning, the day on which the body
was found, between 6 and 7 o'clock, A. M. somo
one, whether the prisoner or not,tho witness could
not say,pu.rchasod another hatchet, in all 'tweets
similar to the one found near the body, at Mr.
Drake's store. When ho came into the store, ho
picked up the hatchet, asked the price, which ho
Immediately paid down,and as ho was about walk.
ing out oldie stote,he was asked if lie would have
itxrapprd up, and said that ho would. It was
acTerdingly wrapped up. blade and all, in coaffe
wrapping paper. Between 6 and 7 o'clock on
Friday (same) morning, the prisoner carried to
the stem of Mt. Whitely a hatchet whirl) the c.nle
sal held in his hand,similarly tied up, of the re me
kind, and which the counsel expected to prove,
was tied with twine similar to that used by Mr.
Drake—and ho thereby expected further to prove,
that the hatchet purchased on Thursday was not
the hatchet carried to Whitoly's on Friday, but
that this edict hatchet, purchased on Friday,waa
the one, and that Stewart himself having carried
it there, was a strong proof that ho know some.
thing was wrong about the other hatchet. Ho
expected to prove that the prisoner, on the day of
the murder was dressed in either n black or blue
close bodied coat and blue pantaloons —and that
between seven and eight o'clock of that evening
ho left the house of his uncle, Thomas Stewart,
in company with his father.
On Friday morning ho dressed himselfin a black
frock coat, white pantaloons and vest, and started
for the Eastern Shore, ta winch place he crossed
in the steam boat Maryland. When he left his
uncle's house to go to the boat,lio carried with him
a bundle twice the size of a common hat-41ien
lie arrived at Cambridge, the bundle was not halt
so large. Judging from the difference in the size
of the bundles when he started from Baltimore
and when ho arrived at Cambridge.the inference
was that the coat which he worn on that night
was in tho bundle and that it was destroyed or
made way with, as that coat had never boon seen
since.
The prisoner had agreed to go with his father
to the Eastern Shore to transact 801110 business—
he wont, but ho did nothing when ho got there.
On his return he had a small bundle with him,
which, upon examination, was found to contain
only a pair of pantaloons. On his person was
found an ounce vial of spirits of turpentine, and
the pantaloons wero literally washed with the
spirits of turpentine.
When the prisoner was asked what the panto.
loons had boon washed for, ho replied that he had
gut thorn painted on hoard the steamboat—the
pantaloons were not worn by lam on board of the
sten in boat,but wore tied up. He, the counsel for
the Stato, would contend that this turpentine had
been used to tako out spots of blond. lie had
examined the pantaloons and could find no blo,nl
upon the out side, but, as if somehow or other. in
the Providence of God, the marks of blood worn
not to he obliterated hore,in than inside of the right
pocket, where tho prisoner, if hn be the murderer,
must have thrust his blo.sly hand—the mark of
blood was distinctly visilde. Late on Thursday
afternoon, the deceased had a watch which he
worn without a guard. On Friday morning,nftor
the murder,lns pockets wero rifled, and his watch
was gone.
On the prisoner's Direst, altar lie was put into
the hack, Thomas Stewart asked him for his
father's watch—lto answorod that ho did not know
any thing about it—some 10 or 15 minutes after
the hack passed up from rho steam boat Maryland,
a negro man drove down—soon after tiro watch
was found in the possession of the negro man,
found, It is prosumed, by the negro, and suppos
ed to be dropped by the prisoner. Horn was n
chasm, it was true, in the evidence, but he should
argue upon the inferences drawn from these facts,
that the prisoner dropped the watch out of the
hack, and that the nogro found it whore it was
dropped
lie expected to prove that Stewart and his fath
er 101 l the house of his uncle together in the morn
ing of the murder,about 8 o'clock, that they were
tog,othor about dusk the same evening, and he
further expected to prove by a credible witness,
that, on the night of tho murder, she heard a pis
tol shot and an exclamation of "Oh! Lord, 1 am
murclorod"—which was followed by blows, and
another exclamatiou of "Oh! Willie," or "oh:

parracide, excites much astonishment.

Ctr Alluding to the adoption of the New
Constitution, the Norristown Free Press re
marks :
To us, however, belongs the satisfaction
of feeling, that though the good old ship is
wrecked, we have had no lot or part in its
destruction,and that Montgomery county set

able tools selected by the party to amend the
work of men whose names it would be almost
profanation to mention in connection with

loco•focoism to carry out its vile principles
and measures is shorn of his porcee —that
but a small portion of official patronage as
loft him to bestow on kindred spiri's. the
authors or abetters of forgery and perjury.
Some of our Whig friends, as we learn,
find solace, illicit dissattslhction, under the
loss of the Constitution, in tho considera•
lion that the adopted amendments take
the appointing. power in it great measure
from the Executive, and makermffices for
merly in his gift, in future elective. For
our own part, we mourn over such short•
sighted gratulation. What is the tempora
ry dominance of a faction, ascendant by
intrigue and accident, which- the good
principles and gdod sense of the people
will soon ovoithow,—what is this misfor.
tune compared to a change in the basis of
our government; a basis on which the fa
bric of our State polity has worthily become
its preculiar pride'? The gubernatorial
term of Mr. Porter may, and we heartily
trust it will, end the supremacy of the
‘Vashington cabal in Penusylvailia. Till
that period, had the Constitution been pre

Some of the Loco Foco papers, in order
to draw away public attention and execra
tion from the transactions by some of their
party at the ballot boxes,even often the votes
were deposited in them, are pretending to
find on the pant of their antagonists, illegal
exertions to bring men to the polls.. We are
really not aware of any such eflbrts,and have
no reason to believe that the anti-Van Bu
ren men took any measures
. inconsistent wit h
laws and proper party usage, to increase
their vote; while on the other side, there is
much reason to believe that gross fraud was
practised upon the people,by making wrung
returns of votes given in. Our readers re
collect the loss of the tally list of a certain
ward in Philadelphia coutuy,and its recovery,
when its appearance would suit party par.
poses. They will also bear in mind the
statement which we yesterday published of
the frauds in Saddle River township, in Ber
gen county, New Jersey, where affidavit is
made of more votes givcn in than were re
turned
That frauds have been committed by the
Whigs we do not believe, because we have
seen nothing but the naked assertion of the
Loco Foco papers relative to the matter;
but if, in any considerable township, a fraud
had been committed by the 1V higs in bring
ing to the polls rnen who had no right to
vote, we may well suppose that these dis
graced persons would feel doubly mortified
at the defiant which they suffered from their
more skilful opponents, who understand the
transmutation of votes in the ballot box; and
the dialogue between two offenders, one of
the anti. Van Buren school, (►f one of that
sr.hool could otTend in that way,) and a Loco
Foco, would not be unlike the colloquy of
the two broom dealers in London.
"I say, friend, how do you manage to un
dersell me? I assure you I steal all the ma
terials from which my brooms are made."
"Do you?" said the Loco Face broom
maker; "that may do for you, but I steal
my brooms already made."
It is of little consequence who comes to
the ballot box, or how many times a man

A. ROWLAND FOR AN OLIVER.--In
Zanesville, Ohio, some months ago; a cler
gyman was called upon to marry a young
couple, and ho repaired to the house. The
lady was present and all her friends, but the
bridegroom did not ,appear, and the lady in
great grief had to dismiss the whole party.
Recently the same clergyman had a similar
call, and all the parties were present, but
when he came to the word "you take this
man to be your wedded husband," the lady
said very emphatically, "No; I never will
marry him; he served me meanly six months
ago, and now I have repaid him in his own
coin " No entreaties could prevail upon
her. It was the same lady who had been
jilted, and she returned the compliment in a
more decided and mortifying manner to the
tender swain.
Eminaarrrs.—We were gratified yester
day to witness the passage thro' Chester
town, of several wagons, containing emi
grants from Pennsylvania, moving to the
lower part of this county; to settle upon,and
cultivate the firm recently purchased from
Mrs. Page, near Rock flail, Md. They
were Germaps, or-of German descent, and
wo anticipate much benefit from their loca
tion among us. The farmers of the Eas
tern Shore generally have been too much
content to pied along in the old beaten track
of their fathers and • grandfathers; and a
few more such arrivals among us, would,
we believe, exercise a most salutary influ
ence ; first by showing our farmers that a
different process of agriculture would well
remunerate them, and that tilling large
tracts is not necessary to make a crop. And
secondly by the beneficial example of a
white laboring class amongst us, instead of
depending on slave labor or the hire of free
blacks.—Sent Bugle.
ELECTION FRAUDS.—We learn from the

This flourishing Institution opened its
winter session on the Ist instant, with high
ly flattering prospects. The rapid increase
of students rendered it necessary and also
enabled the Board of Trustees to enlarge the
Faculty. Two additional Professors in the
College and another Tutor in the Prepara
tory Department were appointed at the re
cant meeting of the Board, so that an abun
dantly adequate number of Teachers are
now enraged to do ample justice to the
young gentlemen placed under the care of
its officers. With cuoh o Faculty and such
Tutors as the College is now favored with,
no fears need be entertained respecting the
advantages of tho students and the increas
ing prosperity of the Institution. Besides
all this, the College is favorably situated.
The society in Gettysburg is virtuous, intel
ligent and refined,tho salubrity of the ne:gh
borhood is proverbial,so that the Physicians,
learned and respectable, and deserving as
they are of a better fate,are among the least
thriving portion of the community, and the
temptations to evil are fewer than in most
country towns-of the same population. The
number of students amounts to considerably
above 150; the expenses. considering the
scarcity and high price of provisions, very
moderate, being 81,50 per week for board
ing, 25 cents for attention to room, 8: 4 per
annum for room rent, and $26 for tuition.
The new College edifice, a commodious
and comfortable structure, is now finished,
and will conveniently room and lodge 100
students, who will be under the immediate
supervision of the President of the College
and Trustees, who reside in the house. A
Steward of sober habits and good cl.aracter
gives his undivided attention to the comfort
and convenience of the College students who

into the Rouse and take their seats by force; end
that if they are prevented, •'fifty thousand baryon

that the late Clerk, who by courtesy is allowed to
read the returns furnished by the Secretary, will
mail other returns than those thus furnished!—
What he will do, we know not: What his duty
is, is plain. Ho can legally read none but those
furnished him from the Secretary's Office; and if
he should read others, such an act would be null
and void. The members themselves cannot direct
any other to be read before the House is organized,
because there is no House to whom any question
can be put. Nor can the House after it is organi
zed decide which is the true return. The Com
mittee above referred to is the only tribunal to in.
Testigate and decide it; and that Committee is ap

any vote of the House. In short, TUE HOUSE,

mentality of pure, unadulterated Democratic A nti-
Masonry.. It is the only thing that can purge
this country of the foul and soul-destroying plague
that has been visited upon it, and which is under
mining the very foundations of her Constitution
and Laws. It is the only panacea that can re
store the far-decayed daughter of Liberty to her
pristine purity and vigor.
In Anti-Masonry is combined all tharthe friend
of Virtue, Morality, Religion and the Bupromacy
of the Laws desire. To be an Anti-Mason, it fol.
lows that you are opposed to vice in all its demor
alizing, effect% as well as to that lawlessness which
would trample religion under foot, and set at va
riance both the laws of God and man. An Anti-
Mason will support the Constitution and Laws of
his country—will discoantenancO all attempts at.
a usurpation of power, and oppose all inroads
upon the rights, liberties and immunities of his
fellow-man. .
Whatever others may say, for ourself give us a
persevering adherence to pure, distinctive, una

give you victory—great and glorious victory, over

The .711ensbersior the County
of Philadelphia.
The usual argument of the
Loco Focos.
It is known that the Democratic members
for the County of Philadelphia are duly returned
by the Return Judges & the Sheriff of the County
to the Secretary of the Commonwealth, and, it is
supposed, such returns will of be sent in by
him to the Legislature as the returns of that county.
If those returns are irrcgular,or even falae,the only
way to show them so is to first swear In the mem
ers, organize the Ilouse,and then ballot for a Com
mittee (by lot) as directed by law. That Commit
tee must investigate the claims of the sitting and of
.the claiming members, and decide between them;
and that decision is final. This is the plain, regu
lar, legal, and usual course, which has never been
departed from.
The Loco Focos are in great alarm that
this eminent gentleman will be in - the Leg.
islature just at so critical a time as the next
sesssion of this body is likely to prove to
them. They feel that their position is pre
carious and unsafe, while one is watching
them so well acquainted with all their #ind
ings and stratagems, and so able to expose
them to the light. Fear and despondency
have seized upon the whole party. We
imagine their feelings to be similar to those
of riVrowd of trembling beings surrounding
a building enveloped in flames, in which is'
concealed a quantity of powder that may
any moment explode. There is no man in 1

General Education
[From the National Intelligencer.)
The address of William D. Shepard, Esq.,
(formerly of Congress) before tho two literary so
cieties of tho I7niversity of North Carolina, in
June last, is a production of great excellence and
interest. Tho illustrations aro hapoy, and the
language of the address chaste and beautiful. In
referring to the advantages of mental cultivation,
the orator says
"Having enjoyed the blessings of educe.
lion, you will hereafter estimate this mental
luxury as ono of its richest treasures, the
distinguishing preeminence or the intellec•
teal man over the grovelling son of earth—
a possession which enables us to escape for
n period. beyond the reach of power, pain,
or poverty, and, while it creates for ua a
world of our own, enables us to people it
with our nbsent and departed friends."
And on the subject of the general diffusion of
knowledge, the speaker makes the following just
remarks:
''We are trying, in this country,an extra
ordinary experiment in Government—an
experiment which gives to numbers the en
tire and almost exclusive control over the
yes, the property, and the well-being of the
community. Is it not then absurd to con.
tend that it is not the duty of the State to
see that every citizen is qualified by educa
lion to exercise these delicate and import
ant trusts? Lycurgus, the wisest of law
givers, when he undertook the reformation
()film morals of Sparta, laid the foundation
of his system in the education of every citi
zen who might, by any possibility , ho called
lido the service of his country. The sim
plest husbandman prepares his ground with
care before ho entrusts to it his seed, or be
fore he expects a product. Is it not more
absurd to expect order, sobriety of deport
ment, and all the virtue of a good citizen,
where every wild passion, every vacious
propensity, engendered by pride and foster
ed by ignorance, have been permitted to
take root, and choke, by their noxious exu.
•berance, the few good seed which. a gener
ous nature may have planted ? The age of
power and fin= is passing away, that of sr
tifice and chicane is succeeding; the race is
no longer to the swill, nor the battle to the
strong ; let 'the understandings of the Peo.
plo, by which alone they can be effectually
controlled, be correctly. cultivated, and our
fair land will no longer bo convulsed by
those scenes of turbulence and violence
which threaten disgrace, if not destruction,
to our institutions."

ItESPECTED FRIEND.-1 am truly
gratified that I can return my sincere
thanks to you, who have been the cause of
my being restored to perfect health. For
five months past I have been laboring under
severe Chronic Inflamitory Rheumatism,
attended with debility, loss of appetite, low

heard of the truly excellent quality of your
Camomile Pills, 1 at last determined to
make trial of them, although not without
considerable opposition from my physician

using the child package, I was althgether
restored to health. How can I express my
gratitude and sincere regard for such a sa•
viour of human frames ? My case was al
together hopeless, and I must confess my.
self surprised at the extraordinary result.
No people wore ever more blessed than we
are with such remidies. The many quack
advertisements which appear in the papers
which. I receive from your city, deterred
'me from using your pills before I did. I can
truly say that no medicine in the known
world has had such a beneficial effect as
your Camomile and Aperient Pills. What
makes the cure more extraordinary is that
I am more than forty years of age, and for
the last four years could just move about,
and only at short intervals. lam at pres
ent entirely recovered, and my hones are
that you may enjoy a long and prosperous
life. If I am spared. I will almost cer

Important to the Sick.
THE vississitudes of the summer,and the
preceding spring, have affrded pecu•
liar opportunities for exemplifying to the
country the hapt•y effi•cts of Dr. W. Evans'
Camomile lonic Pillsoipon debilitated con
stitutions. In cases or ext rem nervous suf.
luring, which stimulating tonics only mo•
mentarily relieve, and at length greatly ag
gravate, a single box of these beautifully
compounded pills has proved an immediate
and continual benefit. The lm of appetite
and tremulous exhaustion which all invalids
f(!el during this oppressive season, are reliev
ed within two or three hours by one dose on
ly; and in many cases a few doses will forti•
fy the system a long time against a recur-
rence of these attacks. To Ladies especi•
ally, who stair from nausea and lassitude
incidental to interesting changes of health,
these pills are friends indeed, and a bottle of
them has hence become a favorite bondoir
and toilette confident of ladies in wedded life.
If taken before exercise in the open air,they
will generally prevent the lasitude and fa-
tigue which frequently attend it at this sea
son; and if taken afterwards they never tail
to relieve these sensation in a few moments.
That oppressive sensation ofartorial fullness
and throbbing in the head, which is gener
ally experienced in fervid and sultry weather,
is so speedily removed by those Pills that
they aro recommended by a great number
of our best Physicians in preference to any
other proscriptions, as they are well known
to be in many other cases.
The cures,the great,eflectual and undenia
ble cures which this fine tonic and restora
tive remedy effects in the cases that are
particularized in other advertisements, are
daily exciting the admiration and enlisting
the candid acknowledgment of the medical
profession who witness them. Directions
for taking these Camomile Pills, as well as
Dr. W. Evan's Aperient Family Pills, al
ways accompany them; and they may be
obtained wholesale and retial, at 19th north
Bth st. Philadelphia.

NT cannot be denied that whilst many med
icines which are recommended to the
public, have not oven the negative merit of
harmlessness, there are others which it
would be great injustice indeed and suicidal
prejudice to involve, untried, in a common
condemnation. And when a medicine comes
endorsed with all the 'great profession, and
warranted by the seal and signature of long
and uniform success, its proprietor makes
no unreasonable demand upon public coati
dence,when ho claims for it a superior con
sideration.
THE. CAMOMILE PREPARATION
of Dr. Evans, of New York, is undeniably
entitled to this enviable distinction; for whilst
no medical authority in existence condemns
it, every medical, work which alludes to it,
and every medical practitioner that is ac
quainted with it, freely acknowledges its
pre-eminent virtues; and that the latter
should do so in opposition to their personal
interests, must be attributed ,either to their
candor and love of truth, or to their unwill
ingness to fly in the limo of all observation,
and the testimony of thousands.
Dr. W. EVANS does not pretend that
his Camomile Pills will cure all diseases.._
He frankly and conscientiouslyladmits that
they will not. Ho lays no claim to the dis
covery of the "Philosopher's Stone, and
wishes nobody to believe that ho sells the
Elixir of Life, ' but he does say and he does
believe and he can prove that in debilitated
and impaired constitutions- '
in nervous die,.
eases of all kinds; in weakness of the diges
tive organs; in incipient consumptions wheth
er of the lungs or of the liver; in the dread
ful debility occasioned by the use of purga
tivei, in palsy, rheumatism (more especial
ly) in the sickness incident to mothers end
females of relaxed nerves; in every case of
delirium tremens, or that disease which is
brought on by intemperance; in the wretch
ed horrors of the mind and body which ac
crue from occasional inebriety, in the lose
of appetite; languor, melancholy, pains in
the head, limbs, or side; in corrupt, sallow,
and uncomely complexions,which arise from
the bad state of the fluids; in all these cases,
and in some others mentioned in the bills
and directions given with his medicines, he
does say,t hat the Camomile Pill interchang
ed occasionally with his aperient family
pills, (the best known) which are sold with
Own, will afFect immediate relief; and Wm.:
ed but for a fair period of trial, a perfect
cure. This much is placed beyond doubt,
by daily testimonies which would be given
on oath; and for this much Dr. W. Evans
can conscientiously request confidence. He
therefore need only to add that his camomile
pills, together with his excellent aperient-
_.,;.
pills, can be obtained, wholesale or retail at
no. 10th north 9th et. Philadelphia. Also
for sale at the Drug Store of
