RAN AWAY from the subscriber, living in Alexandria, a negro boy, of a yellowish complexion, called JOE PAIN, about 16 years of age—had on when he went away a pair of home-spun pantaloon, mixed with blue black and white, and generally wore them without suspenders tied round his waist with a string: Likewise, had on a blue cloth roundabout jacket. I think it probable that he may have changed them. He is apt to be impudent when spoken to and speaks very quick. It is supposed he is at present lurking about the navy yard, though he is frequently in Alexandria.

FLY NOT YET.
FLY not yet, 'tis just the hour When Pleasure, like true midnight flow'r, That scorns the eye of vulgar light, Begins to bloom for sons of night, And Maids who love the Moon! 'Twas but to bless the hours of shade, That Beauty and the Moon were made; 'Tis then their soft attractions glowing, Set the tides and goblets flowing, Oh! stay—Oh! stay— Joy so seldom weaves a chain Like this to night, that oh! 'tis pain To break its links so soon.
Fly not yet, the fount that play'd In times of old through Ammon's shade,* Though icy cold by day it ran, Yet still like souls of mirth, began To burn when night was near: And thus should woman's hearts and looks At noon be cold as winter brooks, Nor kindle, till the night returning Brings their genial hour for burning, Oh, stay—Oh, stay, When did morning ever break And find such beaming eyes awake As those that sparkle here.

FROM THE CHARLESTON COURIER.
[ Caleb in search of a wife. —The rapid sale which this highly interesting work has met with, both in England and the United States, among all classes of society, is an evidence of the value which popular opinion places upon it. And, indeed, it requires only to be read to be admired.—Amidst the trash with which the presses have overwhelmed us, for years past, under the alluring titles of novels, romances, &c. it is highly gratifying to the friends of religion and morality, to be presented with a work, which, while it enlists attention and interest under the enticing form of a novel, impresses the heart with the importance of piety, as a powerful mean of increasing our happiness and enjoyments. We cordially unite in opinion with the Edinburgh Reviewers, that "every man would wish his wife and children to read Caleb ."]
In the following extract Caleb gives an account of his family and of his own pursuits.
I AM a young man, not quite four and twenty, of an ancient and respectable family, and considerable estate in one of the northern counties. Soon after I had completed my studies in the university of Edinburgh, my father fell into a lingering illness. I attended him with an assiduity which was richly rewarded by the lessons of wisdom, and the example of piety, which I daily received from him. After languishing about one year, I lost him, and in him the most affectionate father, the most enlightened companion, and the most christian friend.
The grief of my mother was so poignant and lasting, that I could never prevail on myself to leave her, even for the sake of attaining those advantages, and enjoying their pleasures, which may be repaid by a wider range of observation, by a more extended survey of the multifarious tastes, habits, pursuits, and characters of general society. I felt with Mr. Gray that we can never have but one mother, and postponed from time to time the moment of leaving home.
I was her only child, and though it was now her sole remaining wish to see me happily married, yet I was desirous of first putting myself in a situation which might afford me a more extensive field of inquiry before I ventured to take so irretrievable a step, a step which might perhaps affect my happiness in both worlds. But time did not hang heavy on my hands; if I had little society, I had many books. My father had left me a copious library, and I had learnt from him to select whatever was most valuable in that best species of literature, which tends to form the principles, the understanding, the taste, and the character. My father had passed the early part of his life in the gay and busy world; and our domestic
society in the country had been occasionally enlivened by visits from some of his London friends, men of sense and learning, and some of them men of piety.
My mother, when she was in tolerable spirits, was now frequently describing the kind of woman whom she wished me to marry. "I am so firmly persuaded, Charles," would she kindly say, "of the justness of your taste, and the rectitude of your principles, that I am not much afraid of your being misled by the captivating exterior of any woman who is greatly deficient either in sense or conduct, but remember my son, that there are many women against whose characters there lies nothing very objectionable, who are yet little calculated to taste, or to communicate rational happiness. Do not indulge romantic ideas of super-human excellence. Remember that the fairest creature is a fallen creature. Yet let not your standard be low. If it be absurd to expect perfection, it is not unreasonable to expect consistence . Do not suffer yourself to be caught by a shining quality, till you know it is not counteracted by the opposite defect. Be not taken in by strictness in one point, till you are assured there is no laxity in others. In character as in architecture, proportion is beauty. The education of the present race of females is not very favorable to domestic happiness. For my own part I call education not that which smothers a woman with accomplishments, but that which tends to consolidate a firm and regular system of character; that which tends to form a friend, a companion, and a wife. I call education not that which is made up of the shreds and patches of useless arts, but that which inculcates principles, polishes taste, regulates temper, cultivates reason, subdues the passions, directs the feelings, habituates to reflection, trains to self-denial, and, more especially, that which refers all actions, feelings, sentiments, tastes, and passions, to the love and fear of God."
I had yet had little opportunity of contrasting the charms of my native place with the less wild and romantic beauties of the south. I was passionately fond of the scenery that surrounded me, which had never yet lost that power of pleasing, which it is commonly imagined that novelty can alone confer.
The Priory, a handsome Gothic mansion, stands in the middle of a park, not extensive but beautifully varied. Behind are lofty mountains, the feet of which are covered with wood that descends almost to the house. On one side a narrow cultivated valley winds among the mountains; the bright variegated tints of its meadows and corn fields, with here and there a little white cottage, embosomed in trees, are finally contrasted with the awful and impassable fells which contain it.
An inconsiderable but impetuous river rushes from the mountains above, through this unadorned but enchanting little valley, and passes through the park at a distance of about a hundred yards from the house. The ground falls beautifully down to it; and on the other side is a fine wood of birch overhanging the river, which is here crossed by a small rustic bridge: after being enlarged by many streams from the neighboring hills, it runs about half a mile to the lake below, which, from the front of the house, is seen in full beauty. It is a noble expanse of water. The mountains that surround it are some of them covered with wood, some skirted with cultivation, some rocky and barren to the water's edge; while the rugged summits of them all present every variety of fantastic outline.—Towards the head of the lake a neat little village ornaments the banks, and wonderfully harmonizes with the simple beauty of the scene. At an opening among the hills, a view is caught of the distant country, a wide vale richly wooded, adorned every where with towns, villages, and gentlemen's houses, and backed by sublime mountains rivalling in height, though not in their broken and Alpine forms, those that more immediately surround us.
While I was thus dividing my time between the enjoyment of this exquisite scenery, my books, the care of my affairs, my filial attentions, and my religious duties, I was suddenly deprived of my inestimable mother. She died the death of the righteous.
Addison has finely touched on the singular sort of delicate and refined tenderness of a father for a daughter: but I am persuaded that there is no affection of the human heart more exquisitely pure than that which is felt by a grateful son towards a mother who fostered his infancy with fondness, watched over his childhood with anxiety, and his youth with an interest compounded of all that is tender, wise and pious.
My retirement was now become solitude; the former is, I believe, the best state for the mind of man, the latter almost the worst. In complete solitude the eye wants
objects, the heart wants attachments, the understanding wants reciprocation. The character loses its tenderness when it has nothing to love, its firmness when it has nothing to strengthen it, its sweetness when it has nothing to soothe it, its patience when it meets no contradiction, its humility when it is surrounded by dependants, and its delicacy in the conversation of the uninformed. Where the intercourse is very unequal, society is somewhat worse than solitude.
I had naturally a keen relish for domestic happiness: and this propensity had been cherished by what I had seen and enjoyed in my father's family. Home was the scene in which my imagination had pictured the only delights worthy of a rational, feeling, intellectual, immortal man.
Sole bliss of Paradise Which has survived the fall.
This inclination had been much increased by my father's turn of conversation.—He often said to me, "I know your domestic propensities; and I know therefore that the whole color of your future life will be, in a particular manner determined by the turn of mind of the woman you may marry. Were you to live in the busy haunts of men; were you of any profession, or likely to be engaged in public life, though I would still counsel you to be equally careful in your choice, yet your happiness would not so immediately, so exclusively depend on the society of a woman, as that of a retired country gentleman must do. A man of sense, who loves home, and lives at home, requires a wife who can & will be at half the expence of mind necessary for keeping up the cheerful, animated, elegant intercourse which forms so great a part of the bond of union between intellectual and well-bred persons. Had your mother been a woman of an uninformed, inelegant mind, virtuous and pious as she is, what abatement must there have been in the blessings of my lot! The exhibiting, the displaying wife may entertain your company, but it is only the informed, the refined, the cultivated woman who can entertain yourself; and I presume whenever you marry you will marry primarily for yourself, and not for your friends: you will want a companion; an artist you may hire."
"But remember Charles, that when I am insisting so much on mental delicacy, I am assuming that all is right in still more essential points. Do not be contented with this superstructure, till you have ascertained the solidity of the foundation. The ornaments which decorate, do not support the edifice! Guarded as you are by christian principles, and confirmed in virtuous habits, I trust you may safely look abroad into the world. Do not, however, irrevocably dispose of your affections till you have made the long promised visit to my earliest, wisest, and best friend, Mr. Stanley. I am far from desiring that your friend should direct your choice. It is even what your father would not do: but he will be the most faithful and disinterested of counsellors."
I resolved now for a few months to leave the priory, the seat of my ancestors, to make a tour not only to London, but to Stanley Grove, in Hampshire, the residence of my father's friend; a visit I was about to make with him just before his last illness.—He wished me to go alone, but I could not prevail on myself to desert his sick bed for any scheme of amusement.
I began to long earnestly for the pleasure of conversation, pleasures which, in our small, but social and select circle of cultivated friends, I had been accustomed to enjoy. I am aware that certain fine town-bred men would ridicule the bare mention of learned and political conversation at a village in Westmoreland, or indeed at any place out of the precincts of the metropolis; just as a London physician or lawyer smiles superciliously at the suggested merits of a professional brother in a provincial town. Good sense, however, is of all countries, and even knowledge is not altogether a mere local advantage. These, and not the topics of the hour, furnish the best raw materials for working up an improving intercourse.
It must be confessed, however, as I have since found, that for giving a terseness and a polish to conversation; for rubbing out prejudices; for correcting egotism; for keeping self-importance out of sight, if not curing it; for bringing a man to condense what he has to say, if he intends to be listened to; for accustoming him to endure opposition; for teaching him not to think every man who differs from him in matters of taste, a fool, and in politics a knave;—for cutting down barrangues; for guarding him from producing as novelties and inventions, what has been said a thousand times; for quickness of allusion, which brings the idea before you without detail or quotation; nothing is equal to the miscellaneous socie-
ty of London. The advantages too which it possesses, in being the seat of the court, the parliament, and the courts of law, as well as the common centre of arts and talents of every kind, all these raise it above every other scene of intellectual improvement, or colloquial pleasure, perhaps in the world.
But this was only the secondary motive of my intended migration. I connected with it the hope, that, in a more extended survey, I might be more likely to select a deserving companion for life. "In such a companion," said I, as I drove along in my post-chaise, "I do not want a Helen, a Saint Cecilia, or a Madame Dacier; yet she must be elegant, or I should not love her; sensible, or I should not respect her; prudent, or I could not confide in her; well-informed, or she could not educate my children; well-bred, or she could not entertain my friends; consistent, or I should offend the shade of my mother; pious, or I should not be happy with her, because the prime comfort in a companion for life, is the delightful hope that she will be a companion for eternity."
After this soliloquy, I was frightened to reflect that so much was requisite; and yet when I began to consider in which article I could make any abatement, I was willing to persuade myself that my requisitions were moderate.
NEW-YORK, Nov 17.
Captain Miller informs, that on the 20th of Sept. he was at Hamburg, about which time the king of Westphalia made a demand of the Hamburgers of a sum of money, which was refused. The consequence was, that 600 Westphalian troops marched into the city, and the poor Hamburgers were forced to comply.
It was reported at Tonningen, when capt. Miller sailed, that the Austrians had recommenced war against France. This confirms our former accounts.
CHARLESTON, November 10.
The Swedish ship Gustavus , Evers, 31 days from Liverpool, in distress, bound to Amelia Island, anchored in the roads last evening. The Gustavus sailed the 8th October, and on the 14th, in lat. 49, 18, long. 20, was captured by the French private ship of war, Le Decida , from Bordeaux, captain Briulle, of 18 guns and 150 men. Captain B. informed captain Evers, that his orders were to ransom, burn or destroy, all vessels from or to England, provided the value of the vessel and cargo captured did not amount to 40,000 dollars; if the amount exceeded that sum, he was to send them for France. The Gustavus and cargo not being considered worth 40,000 dollars, the capt. of the privateer insisted upon having her immediately ransomed, or he should destroy her; which induced capt. Evers to draw upon England for 25,000 dolls. being the amount of ransom required. La Decida had captured a few days prior to falling in with the Gustavus , the American ships Resolution , capt. Bunker, from London, for New York, destroyed; Laconia , captain Walker, from Liverpool, for Portsmouth, N. H. ransomed, and Henrietta , captain Nickells, from Liverpool for New-York, valuable cargo, sent into France. Captains Bunker and Nickells, with two English gentlemen passengers in the Henrietta , were suffered to go on board the Laconia . Every vessel ransomed had her chief mate and two able seamen taken out and detained on board the privateer, as security for the payment of the bills drawn; and in case of their non-payment, these men were to be imprisoned in France, until payment was made. They put on board the Gustavus , Mr. Quin, chief mate, and two seamen of the Henrietta . Captain Briulle said he was fitted out purposely to capture Americans—he treated the master and crew of the Gustavus politely. The ship Sally , Webber, for this port, and the Frances , for New-York, were to sail same day with the Gustavus , also several other vessels for the United States, many of which it is feared have been captured.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21.
A gentleman in this town has received a letter from Baltimore, enclosing the following, with which we have been politely favored.
[CIRCULAR.]
WASHINGTON, 13th Nov. 1809.
SIR, "I have to inform you, with much regret, that the facts which it has been my duty to state in my official correspondence with Mr. Smith have been deemed by the President of the United States to afford a sufficient motive for breaking off an important negotiation, and for putting an end to all communication whatever with me, as the minister charged with that negotiation so interesting to both nations; and on one most material point, of which an answer has not even been returned to an officially and written overture.
"One of the facts alluded to has been admitted by the secretary of state himself in his letter to me of the 19th October, viz. that the three conditions forming the substance of Mr. Erskine's original instruction, were submitted to him by that gentleman—the other, viz. that that instruction is the only one in which the conditions were prescribed to Mr. Erskine for the conclusion of an arrangement on the matter to which it related, is known to me by the instructions which I have myself received.
In stating these facts and in adhering to them, as my duty imperiously enjoined me to do, in order to repel the frequent charges of ill faith which have been made against his majesty's government, I could not imagine that offence would be taken at it by the American government, as most certainly none could be intended on my part; and this view of the subject has been made known to Mr. Smith. But as I am informed by him that no farther communication will be received from me, I conceive that I have no alternative left which is consistent with the King's dignity but to withdraw altogether from this city, and await elsewhere the arrival of his majesty's commands upon the unlooked for turn which has thus been given to his affairs in this country.
"I mean, in the interval, to make New York the place of my residence, where you will henceforward please to direct your communications to me, as I shall be accompanied by every member of his Majesty's mission.
I am, &c.
(Signed) F. J. JACKSON.

FRENCH PIRACY.
Extract of a letter from capt. John Nickels, late of the ship Henrietta, to his owner in Philadelphia, dated
PORTSMOUTH, November 10.
"Dear Sir, "I am sorry to inform you, that I was captured by a French privateer on the 12th October, in lat. 48, 40, and long. 20, W. after being out 8 days from Liverpool for New York, full of goods. The ship Laconia of this place, which left Liverpool at the same time I did, and was in company, was also taken, but having on board only salt and crates, was ransomed for nine thousand dollars; and myself, two passengers, and four of my crew, put on board her; the privateer ordering two of my men to remain on board the Henrietta, and taking on board the privateer my mate, cook and three seamen. I requested permission to be sent in with the ship; but they would neither permit me, nor my mate to return on board. Captain Bunker of the ship Resolution, of New York also came home with us; he had been captured three days before by the same privateer, and his ship DESTROYED, as she was from London in ballast, and not worth sending in. In fact, the captain of the privateer told us that he should take or destroy all American vessels he met with coming from England."
The Portsmouth paper of Saturday last, announces the arrival of the Laconia with the particulars of the piratical seizure of the ship Henrietta. They state in addition to those mentioned in captain Nickels' letter, that the privateer was called Le Decide,
ten days from Bordeaux, that they took the mate and two seamen from the Laconia, to be held as hostages for the sum of NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS, which captain Walker had agreed to pay for her release, by bills upon his owners in the United States; that the privateer attempted to sink the ship Resolution; but not succeeding set her on fire, M. Briollet declaring to captain Bunker, that orders had been lately received at all the ports, from the emperor, to take or destroy all vessels bound to or from any enemy's ports agreeably to the strictest construction of the Milan decree. The following is capt Briollet's RECEIPT for the Henrietta:
"I the undersigned, captain of the privateer Le Decide of Bordeaux, fitted out by command of captain Briollet, out ten M. Balgurie, junior, certify, that I have captured this day, the ship Henrietta of Boston, captain John Nickels, in virtue of the laws of my government, finding the said ship in contravention of the imperial decree of 17th December, 1807. Done at sea, on board the privateer Le Decide, 12th, Oct. 1809.
"BRIOLLET."
America and France.—The following information (says the Providence American) has been communicated to us by a gentleman passenger in the Wasp.
"Some time in the month of June, after the battle of Aspern, and before the battle of Wagram, a general rumor prevailed in France, that a prompt and amicable termination of the differences between that country and this would succeed the negotiations then pending. In fact, things had gone so far that it was universally believed that the form of a treaty, or the outlines of the accommodation, had been transmitted to the emperor at Vienna, for his approbation. In consequence colonial produce experienced a great depression, and so convinced was the public mind of the expected event, that scarcely a purchaser could be found for any one article. The battle of Wagram reflected a different aspect to our affairs. A person was then sent to Gen. Armstrong, to require from him a guarantee on the part of the American government, that we should not suffer the British ships of war to board or visit our merchant vessels; and at the same time requesting Gen. Armstrong to know if he had full power from his government to negotiate with France. Gen. Armstrong replied, to the person who called on him in behalf of the emperor, that those questions did not require, or deserve an answer.
"All hopes of effecting any thing were then at an end; and Gen. Armstrong made a motion of quitting France, by packing up his furniture and his house was advertised to let.
"The general shortly after made a journey to Holland, accompanied by Mrs. Armstrong and a part of his family. When the Emperor found that the prolonged negotiations with Austria was not likely to terminate in peace, and that hostilities were expected soon to succeed, gen. Armstrong had it officially intimated to him, that he had better not yet return to the U. S. as there might still be an opening for accommodation. Whether this last circumstance would have sufficient weight with gen. Armstrong to require his longer stay in France, is uncertain. He however frequently said, that he intended to return home in the spring, and expected a frigate from the U. S. for that purpose.
"No one who reflects seriously on the transactions between gen. Armstrong and the French government, can have the least expectation of an accommodation. He will however, be compelled to believe, that it is the policy of the emperor to divert general Armstrong with hopes, until the issue of the present continental war shall be known. Almost every day gives birth to a new imperial decree, more or less affecting American commerce.
"The treatment of the common crews and property falling into their hands by capture or accident, too strongly proves what we are to expect from their pretended wishes for accommodation. Two instances will give a tolerable idea of what our government have a right to expect. The first is the case of a brig, belonging to Mr. Gray of Salem, of which a Mr. Pierson was supercargo. She was bound to St. Sebastians, but in a heavy blow from the westward, found herself to the eastward of that port, and as no alternative was left but to make a port or to go on shore, she was boarded by a French port from St. Jean de Luz, while going into that port. The hatches were sealed up, and the papers sent to Paris. It appeared by the supercargo's consultation that he had not been boarded by any British vessel, nor had he had communication with any vessel, until his arrival at St. Jean de Luz. There did not appear to be any de-
gree relating to this case; but it was supposed that there would be one made to fit it as soon as convenient.
"The other case is that of the ship Arrow, capt. Fletcher, of Newburyport, which was bound to Sardinia. She was captured in the Mediterranean, and conducted to France. It was not generally known before her capture, that the island of Sardinia had been ceded by France to be in the same situation (as it respects neutrals as the ports of Great Britain. Captain Farres, the supercargo, acknowledged that he had but little hopes of restoration. The captain's protest is very circumstantial, and cites many, not of the unprecedented, but frequent instances of French depredation.
"Mr. Haswell, the bearer of dispatches by the Wasp, left Paris with the return despatches before any advice of the reception of the outward despatches could have reached the emperor time enough to receive an answer.
[The gentleman who furnished the above information, has arrived in town from New York via Providence, and testifies to the truth of every particular circumstance.] [Boston Gazette.]

BALTIMORE, November 20.
Arrived last evening the ship Congress, Clark, in 40 days from Dover, which place she left the 7th of Oct. Our papers by this arrival are not of a recent date, although we might expected papers to the evening of the 7th. The captain gives it as his opinion that the people of England are ripe for a revolution in consequence of the failure of the Walcheren expedition, and of the clouded prospect of Spanish affairs. The English Channel swarms with French privateers.—The Congress left London the 25th Sept. but having shifted ballast was obliged to put into Dover, from which she sailed in Co. with the Henrietta for New York.
Died on Thursday last, DAVID HARRIS, Esq. Cashier of the Office of Discount and Deposit, in Baltimore.
Mr. Harris was one of the early soldiers of our revolutionary war. In the year 1775, he joined the American army under gen. Washington before Boston. He was a brave, active and useful officer. In the private walks of life he was ever cheerful and hospitable, and an ornament to society; an excellent husband, a good father, and kind friend. He was Cashier of the office of Discount and Deposit in this city, from its first establishment until his death, uniformly correct, just and obliging.

TO THE PUBLIC,
re affected with Coughs, Colds, Astmas, and Consumptions.
T HERE is perhaps no medical observation better established, none more generally confirmed by the experience of the best physicians of all ages and countries, and none of more importance to the practitioner than the fact that many of the most difficult and incurable complaints originate in neglected COLDS. In a climate as variable as ours, where the changes of the weather are frequently sudden and unexpected, it requires more care and attention to guard against this subtle and dangerous enemy of life, than most people imagine, or are willing to bestow. Hence the vast number of patients afflicted with coughs, catarrhs, asthma and consumptions. The many cases of the kind which fell under my observation, the disappointment I experienced in practice, from remedies highly recommended, and my own predisposition to pulmonary complaints, were strong inducements for me to consider whether a compound, consisting of mild vegetable substances could not be invented, more free from the well founded objections of practitioners, and better calculated to avert the threatening destruction of the lungs.
I have the satisfaction to offer to the public such a remedy, under the name of the VEGETABLE PULMONIC DETURGENT , well adapted to various constitutions and habits, and to declare with the fullest confidence that I found this composition far superior to others intended to answer the same purpose. I am perfectly satisfied, that practitioners, who have frequently to combat the effects of suppressed perspiration and do not neglect the use of the lancet and other evacuations, whenever they are indicated, will place this medicine on the list of their most favorite remedies; as it can in no case do harm. I will abide by this motto:
NO RELIEF NO PAY.
This motto may be deemed ostentatious by some, and amounting to a positiveness that the medicine will invariably effect a cure in any stage of a disease like a miracle; the proprietor is far from believing that this medicine will render mankind immortal; but he is fully sensible if taken reasonably, and according to the directions, it will either prevent or cure, and if unseasonably, it will most sensibly alleviate distress and prolong life; and having no desire to profit by the confidence of the sick and afflicted, induces me to make the above overture. Should the contrary appear in any instance, as in some it possibly may, the money for the medicine will be cheerfully refunded by the person who may vend the same.
GEORGE ROGERS.
N. B. The above named medicine is secured to the subscriber by letters patent from the President of the United States, and prepared at his Dispensary in Northampton county of Hampshire and state of Massachusetts.
To the Public.
The great benefit which I have experienced from Rogers's Vegetable, &c. and a firm persuasion that it may afford relief to others, induces me to make every laudable exertion for its distribution.
For five years preceding the last of Dec. 1807, in consequence of taking a violent cold I had been afflicted with the asthma, a disorder which I conceived to be hereditary, my father and grand father both having greatly suffered from it. The disorder increasing rapidly upon me, in the spring of 1807, I consulted Dr. C. L. Seeger, but the urgency of his business prevented him from attending at that time, particularly to my case. My business made it necessary for me to leave home and be absent the greater part of summer, which deprived me of the able professional assistance of Dr. Seeger. In September last, a severe cold brought on a violent cough and the disorder assumed an aspect more serious and alarming than at any former period—I was extremely debilitated, emaciated and confined. Such was the irritability of my lungs, I was obliged to use the greatest caution in the act of respiration. After a free use of Rogers's Vegetable, &c. for about two months, I was perfectly relieved of the dreadful cough which had so long afflicted me, and completely cured of every symptom of the asthma. In short, blessed be God, I have continued in sound health ever since. As these facts may be important to those unfortunate individuals who are suffering from the same disorder, I have been thus particular in their detail. And I do not hesitate to declare my solemn conviction, both from my own experience and observing its effects on others, that Dr. Rogers's V. P. D. is an easy, safe and effectual remedy for coughs and asthma, and is the greatest antidote to all pulmonary complaints that the world has ever witnessed.
Jacob W. Brewster.
Northampton, January, 1809.
THIS may certify, that about the first of October last, I was attacked with a violent cough, which proceeded, as was the opinion of my physician, who is a man well approved of in his profession, from a bruise which I
received on my left side about a fortnight before. By his consent I tried Rogers's Pulmonic Deturgent—I was very weak and low, and took but half the quantity prescribed by his directions. In three days I was much relieved, and in eight days quite cured of the cough.
Moses Parsons, jun.
Northampton, February, 1809.
Northampton, (Mass.) Feb. 1809.
I James Heaton, also hereby certify, that in the fall of the year 1808, I was seized with a severe cold attended by an obstinate and distressing cough. The violence of my cough soon produced a pain in my side and breast, and frequently spitting of blood, in short, all the horrid symptoms of a consumption were rapidly assailing me. In this situation I was recommended to Dr. George Rogers, who rendered me immediate relief by administering his Vegetable Deturgent. I have continued the use of it ever since, and for three months past, though not completely restored to health, I have been able constantly to attend to my business—and I fully believe that my partial restoration has been solely owing (under God) to this valuable medicine.
James Heaton.
To the Public.
In consequence of taking a severe cold in May, 1808, I was seized with a violent pain in my side, attended with a distressing cough, which, although I had the advice and prescriptions of a respectable physician, lasted me four weeks, without any alleviation. I then applied to Dr. George Rogers, who administered his Vegetable Pulmonic Deturgent, which gave me immediate relief; and in ten days I was entirely freed from the pain in my side and cough.
Charles Chapman.
Northampton, March, 1809.
I, ELIJAH NORTON, jun. of Westampton, in Massachusetts, do certify that in the last year I was attended with a great debility, weakness of the lungs, distressed for breath, and a violent cough, attended with a fever for a number of months; about the 15th of August I began the use of Dr. George Rogers's Vegetable Pulmonic Deturgent. I kept in the use of it about three months. Immediately after taking this medicine my cough abated, and I could breathe with more freedom. I would recommend the medicine from my own experience, to those who are troubled with a cough, and disorders of the lungs and breast, and consumptive complaints, and do believe it to be a valuable and useful medicine.
