WINTER—AN ODE.
I DIEU to the pleasures of Spring, The delights of the Summer, adieu: All the horrors that Winter can bring, All the gloom must be tasted anew. Now so fierce o'er the fields, that so lately were stor'd, With the treasures, which Summer and Au- tumn afford, The tempest with rage unrelenting has blown And the Tyrant again has erected his throne.
Haste Winter depart! Nor prolong thy delay, For the joys of the heart, Thou hast driven away.
Where the deep verdant walk in the shade, (Or along by the steep sunny hill, Where the brook, by whose side, when I stray'd, In my heart, would a rupture instil. Those groves, and those valleys, old Win- ter again, Has with avarice hoarded his treasures of snow; And the sweet warbling brook is fast bound in a chain, Which the Tyrant imposed and forbade it to flow.
Haste Winter, depart, Nor prolong thy delay, For the joys of the heart, Thou hast driven away.
No more in the shadowy grove, Are the notes of the Cuckoo perceiv'd, Or the mournful complaints of the Dove, Of his dearest companion bereav'd; And the Sparrow and Thrush, from their perch on the spray, Now have flown, and depriv'd us of music so sweet; And the Swallow and Redbreast have flitted away, From the frowns of Old Winter to seek a
Haste Winter, depart, Nor prolong thy delay, For the joys of the heart, Thou hast driven away.
Now the winds bleakly howl through the trees, Of their verdure bereft by the frost; And the boughs, naked, sigh in the breeze, As they griev'd for the honors they've lost; And the rose and the lilly and violet's bloom, Are dissolv'd, and that place no delight now retains, So cruel, alas! is sweet Flora, thy doom, That now, not a trace of thy honor remains. Haste Winter, depart, Nor prolong thy delay, For the joys of the heart, Thou hast driven away.
But Winter, tho' sweeping thy blast, Yet its rage and its powers have a bound, And tho' my delights now are past, Mid their ruins some comfort is found. For the heart, that with friendship and sym- pathy glows, Or the kinder affection of love shall re- main, To share in my joys, and my troubles com- pose, Unchill'd by the tempest, which rages in vain.
Haste Winter, depart, Nor prolong thy delay, For the joys of the heart, Thou hast driven away.
Nor is the remembrance destroyed, Tho' alloy'd with a mingled regret, Of the pleasures I lately enjoyed, With my friends, in society met. Nor the hope that the season shall quickly appear, When Flora again, shall assume her ar- ray, And the warblers, the groves, and the valleys shall cheer, And then I again with Almeida shall stray. Haste Winter, depart, And I chide thy delay, For the joys of the heart, Thou hast driven away.
From the (London) Lady's Monthly Ma- gazine.
D R E S S.
Female habiliments have long been re- markable for the delicacy of their texture:
but it does not appear that economy is con- sulted with respect to price, for the robe, or even the veil, of a fashionable lady, is more costly than a whole suit of the plain kind. It must be an universal passion which causes our lovely women to risk their health and reputation, by appearing in the public streets and theatres in a garb similar to that worn by demireps or actresses. Though it has been the rage of late, for our actresses to become women of fashion, we see no ne- cessity for our women of fashion to become actresses.
During the late rigorous weather, how- ever, several philosophic ladies shielded their delicate forms in the Turkish pelisse.— Should they improve on this idea, and adopt the mahramat or thick veil worn in Turkey, their beauties would be completely eclips- ed; but their passion for admiration will prevent this transition.
The sudden change from such warm ha- bits to their light and almost transparent drapery, is no proof that propriety and fa- shion go hand in hand. Some advocate for modish variety may exclaim, "This cynic is equally displeased with a thin or warm dress; and satarises the fashions, rather from a desire to vent his spleen, than to cor- rect impropriety." The female habit, how- ever, ought neither to be so light as to give the wearer the appearance of a paper kite, subject to be carried away by every gust; nor so warm as to remind us of the climate of Russia or Lapland.
Simplicity of dress, is, like modesty of manners, the handmaid of grace. Gorgeous ornaments distract the imagination of the observer; and the wearer, like the silk-worm, is hid amid her own magnificence. But a decent garb, adjusted to the elegant contour of the female form, concealing those beau- ties that would obtrusively force themselves upon our observation, and harmonizing with a virtuous mind; this is the dress that we should recommend to the fair sex; and which combined with a modest demeanour, is more attractive than the cestus of Venus! Can render even beauty more amiable, im- press the idea of angelic perfection and in- nocence on the mind of the beholder, and compel us to adore virtue thus personified in woman!
FROM THE CONNECTICUT COURANT.
"I have enough, my Brother."
Esau's reply to Jacob, Gen. xxxiii. 9.
The man that said this had not been happy, nevertheless, because he had har- bored in his bosom the direful passion of murderous revenge. Fair weather & bright sun-shine out of doors give but little com- fort, while a black and furious tempest is raging within.
"Guilt is the source of sorrow: 'tis the fiend, The avenging fiend, that follows them be- hind With whips and stings"—
But the man or the woman that can say sincerely, "I have enough;" and in the mean time has clean hands and a pure heart, enjoys unquestionably a rare degree of fe- licity.
The bare necessities of life are few, sim- ple, and easily supplied. Behold what sim- plicity marked the primeval state of man! The first human pair were put in a garden, "to dress it and to keep it." They did not think their hands too good to labor. Inno- cence was their only robe. They ate of the fruit of the garden, and drank of the stream that watered it—And what had they more?—Nothing—No wines, no cordials, no fermented liquors, no high- seasoned viands, no glittering furniture, were seen in the garden. No lamb bled to furnish their table, no arts of cookery were studied. Fruit alone appeased their hun- ger, and simple water slaked their thirst.
And now, my lady Lofty, what think you of the terrestrial paradise? I see you turn up your nose with scorn. "What! nothing but fruit and water? A lady to live too without balls and assemblies, with- out servants, without so much as a carpet or a looking glass, without even one of the elegancies of life!—it must have been dull, intolerably dull and mawkish." Undoubt- edly, madam, it would have been so to you. Yet the good pair seem to have enjoyed themselves very well. They were happy, in that they did not know high life; they were happy in the sweet sunshine of consci- ous innocence; and they might have con- tinued happy, but for the budding of two evil passions, which ever since have plagued the world, namely, Avarice and Pride. They thought they had enough, till it was suggested to them that the whole garden ought to belong to their property.— They thought that their grade of life was sufficiently noble, till they were told that there was a chance for them to be as Gods;
and then they fell to coveting and aspir- ing.
Avarice has never been known to say "it is enough." Greedy as the grave, increase of riches does but the more inflame it, so that the more it has, the more it wants.— Whoever therefore lts into his heart the whole of this demon, is sure to lead a rest- less life, and to die with his worldly crav- ings unsatisfied. Pride too never says, "it is enough." What degree of honor, of power, of grandeur can be found sufficient to satisfy the cravings of the proud man's heart? Haman was the prime minister of a monarch, who "reigned from India even unto Ethiopia, over an hundred and twen- ty seven provinces;" and both courtiers and the people bowed the knee to this same Haman. Yet "all this availed him noth- ing," so long as one man, Mordecai the Jew, refused to bow to him, and to do him reverence. Nay he was not merely diss- atisfied that among so many millions one so- litary individual was found wanting in re- spect toward him, but his heart was so stung with this trifle that he left the court, and "hasted to his house, mourning and having his head covered." Alexander and some of the Roman emperors were not contented with all the honors that could possibly be heaped upon them, as men, but they even claimed to be Gods, and as such, required adoration and divine honors.
It would be impossible to tell what pre- cise quantity of worldly estate is just suffi- cient, and no more than sufficient; since it would depend upon a variety of circum- stances growing out of the particular state of society, and on a number of other items which could not be calculated to a hair.— The best rule is, to take up satisfied with appointment which providence makes, and having food and raiment therewith to be content.
The middle state of life has been tho't by the wise to afford the best means both for the enjoyment of comfort and for the practice of virtue. Under this impression, a pious sage of old made the following pe- tition to heaven, "Give me neither poverty nor riches." I know of none among the moderns, how much soever they may dif- fer in points of religion or of politics, who have any objection to the first clause of this prayer of Augur; but in this money-lov- ing age, it is questionable whether many can be found, either male or female, who pray heartily that riches may not fall to their lot, or who would run with all their might to escape from a shower of gold that was falling into their laps. It is however certain that riches and poverty are two ex- tremes, each encompassed with peculiar ev- ils; and without saying what none will believe, that extreme riches is as much to be dreaded as extreme poverty, I would wish to impress this useful truth, that peo- ple in middling circumstances, if they would only think so themselves, have en- ough, and have reason to be thankful for their lot, rather than to repine at it.
If you are out of debt, if also you have a snug farm, a good trade, or any other means by which you can honestly support your family and lay up yearly a little mo- ney beside, what can you reasonably desire more? It is true, you take from a little heap, but if the heap were an hundred times as big, you could neither eat nor drink the more for that, though it would cost you much more care and pains to guard it and to keep it. With respect to the real wants of life, you have enough; and as to your children, give them useful learning, and bring them up to habits of industry, frugality, and sobriety, and they too, in all probability, will have enough, though you should be able to bequeath them but very little in your last will.
The good people of this country little consider what superior advantages for con- venient and comfortable living they enjoy, compared with those of their forefathers.— Alfred, the wisest and best king, perhaps that England ever had, used to sit upon a three-legged stool; chairs being not used or known then. It is but little more than two centuries since the English nob- ler had fewer conveniences of food, cloathing and furniture, than are now seen in the houses of our industrious mechanics and middling farmers; who employ the looms and the artificers of Asia as well as of Europe, and draw a considerable part of their food, of their apparel, and of their furniture, from foreign and distant countries.
NORFOLK, December 11.
Arrived, ship Rising States, Adams, 53 days from London, and 46 from the Downs. Sailed in company with ships Charles Car- ter, Drysdale, of this port; Pamlico and of for New York; Eliza Ann, of Portland, bound to Cadiz. Left ship Woodrop Sims, Haynes, of and for this port, to sail in ten days, and 100 sail of American vessels.— Nov. 1, was boarded from his B. M. brig
Pelican, detained 2 hours, and had an Irish lad, apprentice to capt. A. impressed.— Spoke Nov. 15, in lat. 36, long. 44, brig Cotton, 12 days from Baltimore, bound to Algiers. In lat. 36, long. 44, was board- ed by an officer from his British Majesty's schooner Shamrock, who informed that a few days previous they fell in with the schooner John Adams, of Boston, who was upset about the 10th November in a heavy gale, the crew was taken off by a brig that was in company with the Shamrock. No- vember 24, was boarded by an officer from his Britannic majesty's ship Atalante, 6 days from Halifax, informed that a war was expected between the United States and England; he appeared much disap- pointed to find the ship in ballast, doubted capt. Adam's word, and searched the ship himself. By the conduct of the officer, it appeared the Atalante was on a cruise to capture all American vessels with cargoes. Spoke Nov. 29, in lat. 35, long. 63, sch'r Minerva, of Falmouth, 10 days from Nor- folk, bound to Teneriffe. Dec. 3, ship Ju- no from Charleston, bound to Fayall. 6th, ship Vigilant, 12 hours from this port. Came passenger in the Rising States, capt. John Jennings, late of the ship Amelia of Philadelphia.
CHARLESTON, Dec. 6.
Arrived, Spanish schooner Maguane John Antonio Durand, City of St. Domingo, 25 days. The City of St. Domingo, which was taken on the 12th of June, was given over to the Spaniards the 23d July, at which time the English troops left that place. The terms of capitulation allowed the French merchants 6 months, and the planters 11 months to quit the island; that, in violation of this engagement, and con- trary to every principle of humanity, the Spaniards were driving them off daily; a great many still remained there for want of vessels to carry them away. The brig Li- oness, Wilson, sailed on the 23th October, 10 days before the Maguane, for Yagu- a, on the windward coast of St. Domingo, in- tending to take in a cargo of mahogany.— The schooner Resolution, Hall, of Port- land, sailed on the same day as the Magu- ane, for Palenqua, intending to take in mahogany for Philadelphia. On the 2nd instant, in lat. 32, 38, long. 75 1-2, saw a brig to windward totally dismasted; she was under jury-masts, and bore down to speak us. An American frigate, supposed to be the Chesapeake, immediately after hove in sight, and was seen along side, supposed in the act of assisting them. Sun- day the 3d, saw the same brig standing to the northward, and then being to the wind- ward could have spoke the Maguane, if in want of any thing. The brig had a high quarter deck, yellow sides, and red bot- tom. Provisions plenty and cheap at St. Domingo. There were no English troops there, and but about 300 Spanish troops, (from Porto-Bico) including militia.
Schooner Catharine, Gilpatrick, St. Kitts. 21 days. Sailed from Tobago the 4th and from St. Kitts the 13th ult. and was bound to Saco, but put in here in distress, owing to head winds and a want of sails and rig- ging. Provisions were high at Tobago, beef, pork, flour and bread, very scarce; but at St. Kitts, provisions were plenty and cheap. There were but few American ves- sels at St. Kitts, and none at Tobago. The brig William, capt. Sam. McLellan, sailed from Martinico on the 8th of Oct. with a cargo of Molasses, for Portland (M.) but was immediately after captured by a French privateer schr. having six 4 pounders, who put 5 men on board of the brig, and took out all but the captain and a boy. On the 11th of Oct. capt. M c L. and boy retook the brig and carried her into St. Kitts.

Charles County, Maryland, November 2.
Printing, in all its branches, executed at this office.

The True Policy.—The great mass of the People, of both political parties, are sensible, as Col. Pickering declared in Congress, that Great-Britain has done us many wrongs. We have ample cause for war with both Britain and France. And however we may regret a premature commencement of the contest, if it be commenced, of which unfortunately there is too much prospect, there will then be neither majority nor minority men among us. And though we may differ as to the propriety or impropriety of our government cutting off the negotiation with Mr. Jackson in the manner it has—and on this point there is certainly a diversity of opinion—yet in the event of war, there would be but one opinion as to the justness of it, and we should all unite as one man in the support of the government of our choice, charged as it would then be with a solemn duty of vindicating, by THE POWER OF THE SWORD, the unquestionable rights of our injured country, in no other way could we expect a triumphant war to be followed by an honorable peace.
We have been told that we are too moderate and pacific. But we must be pardoned for again recommending moderation to our countrymen at this great crisis: Sooner or later they will thank us for the admonition. We solemnly declare that our editorial labors are by far less grateful to us than would be those of the "tent field" in the cause of our country. We know what War is, and we also know how duly to appreciate its evils.—
Our hope of the preservation of Peace it is true, is but a faint one, but we wish to cherish it to the last. No one can honor more than we do the patriotic spirit of the Federalists, which is now so proudly and triumphantly repelling the infamous accusation of the Democrats that they are a "British Party." That accusation, we trust, will never again be repeated. For ourselves, we have ever detested the idea of British partizans or French partizans, and ever shall. We are INDEPENDENT WHIGS of the "OLD SCHOOL." But we must be permitted to repeat, that while a ray of Hope remains, we ought to preserve our Country from the calamities of War.
We presume not to dictate to our Countrymen, but must boldly proclaim our idea of the TRUE POLICY of the U. S. at the present most momentous period.
Let those imbecile, half-way measures, which have so long distracted the nation, invited aggression, and ruined our commerce, be at once and forever laid aside.
Let the nation be put in a state of Maritime defence, by immediately commencing the building of the so long contemplated six 74's and frigates.
Let the WASHINGTON policy, so long neglected, be again resorted to—
PEACE—if possible. But EQUAL AND UNBENDING OPPOSITION TO THE UNJUST PRETENSIONS OF BOTH GREAT BRITAIN AND FRANCE.
And then WAR WITH BOTH THOSE POWERS UNLESS THEY ABANDON THOSE PRETENSIONS.
(Freeman's Journal)
French Foot-hold.—Archimedes of old is reported to have said that he could move this whole globe of earth with a lever, if there might only be allowed him an adjacent spot for foot-hold—this essential article he neglected, and therefore never tried the experiment. "They order things better in France."—The French have a lever, with which they have been turning the world upside down: and they hitherto have gained their points by seasonably securing to themselves a foothold in the several countries which they revolutionized and subjugated. Look at Holland, Switzerland, and the States of Germany, Italy and Spain: The French had substantial foothold in all these countries, for some time before they com-
menced the actual conquest of them. Nor may we presume too much upon our local situation: for the circumstance of our being removed from the subverters of all governments by the distance of 3000 leagues, though a happy circumstance, is no sufficient security for us.
Were it said that the French will yet obtain a foothold in our country, it would be saying too little; they have actually obtained it already. New-Orleans is the place where they are preparing and concentrating their machinery; the most convenient place they could possibly find, whether they might intend to direct their operations against Mexico, or the U. States, or against both. If you examine the map of America, you must clearly perceive that New-Orleans is the very spot for Napoleon to fix his foot upon. It is the key of the river that waters about three-fourths of the territory of the U. States, and there is a good road from it that leads directly to Mexico.—Would he neglect a situation so exactly favorable to his views? He would not, he has not neglected it. Already the French swarm at New Orleans—Their numbers have increased there by many thousands, within the last year; and there are among them several of the most notorious cannibals of the revolution, the bloody coadjutors of Robespierre. Over and above all this, scores of French military officers have been sent to New-Orleans, or have arrived there the year past; the meaning and design of which can hardly be misunderstood.
That gangrened limb of our nation, New-Orleans, has been seized upon by the French, and is become the focus of their influence and their intrigues. The U. S. have an army there; and what is it? According to the testimony of Wilkinson, the general of that army, it "comprehends every species of human depravity"—"Men of profligate lives, fugitives from justice, and deserters from foreign service." And what is the general himself? After the clear and convincing proofs of his corruption and treasonable practices (exhibited in Mr. Clark's pamphlet, to say more of him would be, to adopt the expression of Mr. Randolph in another case, like throwing water upon a drowned rat. Gov. Claiborne, a shallow man and a tool in the hands of the cunning workmen, is known to have evinced all along a violent partiality for France and for Frenchmen. With such a governor, such a general (if it be possible that such a general can yet continue in office) and with such an army as the general represents the army to be, it can hardly be expected that Napoleon's legions would meet with opposition if they were to arrive at New Orleans; nor is there any thing to hinder their arrival but the fleets of England, which many of us wish destroyed.
Suppose there were landed at N. Orleans a French army equal in numbers to the army of Egypt; suppose they should march to the conquest of Mexico, and on their return claim and seize Louisiana and take the Floridas; now could they be expelled or curbed? Suppose farther that they should use both threats and promises to engage our western states to join them, that they should offer them a participation in the trade of Mexico, and give bribes and promise of promotion to certain leading characters among them; would they have no prospect of success? Would Napoleon have no chance for erecting a new empire, and a very great one too, comprehending a part of Mexico, Louisiana, the Floridas, and some of the United States? All this is more than possible: such events are seriously to be apprehended. If the report be true, (which however we can hardly credit yet) that the little limb of French royalty at Baltimore has been made a prince, a throne may be possibly prepared for him in this country before he will be of age to fill it.

Congress of the United States.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, December 15.
[Taken for the Alexandria Gazette.]
Mr. Southard offered a resolution to appoint a committee to enquire into the expediency of passing a law to establish a mode of taking evidence in cases of contested elections of members of Congress, and to compel the attendance of witnesses in such cases. Adopted, and a committee appointed.
Mr. Johnson, from the committee of claims, on the case of John Murray, reported, that the committee had no doubt of the justice of the petitioner's claim, but that his claim was barred by the statute of limitation. They were therefore, agreeably to a rule they had laid down for themselves, under the necessity of reporting against the prayer of the petition. They reported the following resolution: That the prayer of the petition ought not to be granted. The report was referred to a committee of the whole house on Monday next.
Mr. Troup offered resolutions for printing sundry documents respecting the Yazoo lands.
On motion of Mr. Bacon the resolutions were laid on the table until Monday next.
Mr. Sheffy called up his resolutions laid on the table some time since respecting the Batture at New-Orleans.
Mr. W. Alston moved to refer them to the committee on public lands. Lost.
Mr. Morrow moved to refer them to the committee of the whole house.—Mr. Nelson moved that they lie on the table. Carried.
Mr. Nelson then moved to discharge the committee on public lands from any further consideration of the N. Orleans petition.
Mr. Poydras spoke at considerable length on this subject, and with great animation; but unfortunately for him, and for the cause he advocates, he does not speak the English language plain enough to be understood.
Mr. Sheffy made a few observations in favor of a reference of the whole subject to a committee of the whole house. He was followed by Mr. Alston who was for referring the whole business to the committee on public lands.
Mr. Smith and Mr. Ross spoke on the subject.
Mr. Gardiner made a very luminous speech on the subject. He stated the whole history of the business, and was for taking back the petitions from New Orleans, from the committee of public lands, and for doing more. He would have Mr. Livingston placed in the situation in which the courts of Orleans placed him.
Mr. Sheffy was against the committee of public lands having any thing to do with the New Orleans petitions, as those petitions had nothing to do with public lands.—They were a modest appeal to the benevolence of the nation. The petitioners modestly asked the nation to give them the sum of $1,500,000.
Mr. Rhea (Tenn.) called for the reading of the law of the tenth Congress, authorizing the President to remove illegal settlers from the public lands.
Mr. Macon was for having the business go to the committee on public lands.
Mr. Key thought the committee on public lands had nothing to do with this business at present, for the petitioners had prayed for the U. States to give them their title to the Batture. Now as it was a claim on our charity, we ought to know first whether we had any title, before we pretended to give that title away. If the property is Mr. Livingston's, give the petitioners leave to withdraw their petition, for we have nothing to give them. If it should be determined to belong to the United States, it will then be time enough to talk about giving it away.
Mr. Eppes thought the business ought to go to some committee, in order to arrange and prepare the facts on the subject. He was not ready to determine whether the batture was a part of the bed of the Mississippi, or not. There were several other facts in dispute. He was therefore for having the subject go to some committee.
Mr. W. Alston was for the business going to committee.
Mr. Gardiner spoke again in favor of taking up the business in the house, and appointing a tribunal to try the case, agreeably to the resolutions on the table.
Mr. Gholson wished congress to decide whether Mr. Livingston had any right to take possession of the Batture, before they acted on the resolutions.
On the question for discharging the committee on public lands from the consideration of the business, the vote was 57 to 51; it was therefore carried.
Mr. Goldsborough presented the petition of Levin Jones of Baltimore, respecting a breach of the laws against the importation of slaves—referred to the committee of commerce and manufactures.
A message from the President of the U. States covering printed copies of Mr. Jackson's circular and Mr. Canning's despatch—it was read as well as the papers. The letter of Jackson was read from a newspaper printed at Georgetown; the despatch of Mr. Canning was read from a strip of a newspaper supposed to have been cut from a foreign paper. Mr. Quincy moved to have the message and documents just received printed; carried 59 to 40.
Adjourned till Monday.
By the Spanish schooner Havanna, from Havanna, we learn that the importation of flour from the United States into Cuba, is prohibited even in Spanish vessels. The government of Cuba have contracted for flour for that island at La Vera Cruz.

TO THE PUBLIC, Who are affected with Coughs, Colds, Astmas, and Consumptions.
THERE 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 DETERGENT , 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 seasonably, 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 Detergent—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.

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.
