THE VENEREAL DISEASE,

UNDER its various Appearances, and complicated
Attacks; may be speedily and secretly eradicated from
the System by the use of Dr. FR EENI AN 's DROPS; which,
for their salutary etleets'in cleansing the Blood from all im-
purities, whether Venereal or Scorbutic, are termed G IJTTA
SALUTARIS. By persevering in the use of this Remedy,
the Patient gradually loses all Pain and Inflammation of the
Parts,' all. foul and corroding 'Ulcers, Scabs, Lumps in the
Skin,. and other corresponding Symptoms of this cruel and
relentless Disease : nearly thirty years pralice hath proved
to Dr. freeman, that all this is accomplished by the Drops,
without the aid of Surgical Operations, or the usual filthy
application of greasy mercurial Preparations. •

THE CORDIAL BALM OF 'GILEAD.
DERSONS who. are enervated in Youth seldom
recover themselves by any other means than this Resto-
rative; old age and- infirmities speedily come on, and the
thread. of life is :shortened; for, • the foundation of a happy
Old age is a good constitution in youth;- temperance and mo-
deration, at that age, are passports to happy grey hairs.
The CordiAl Balm of Gilead, by its softening, healing; and
tonic qualities, and stiluta•ry aids, attbrds a sure prospect of
returning strength, and a certain hope of tnuscular invigora-
tion, to •those who are debilitated by premature or excessive
indulgenciei : hence wise weaknesstif sight, vertigos, loss of
appetite, and mental decay: • -
Youth .of either sex, who have practised a secret and de-
'strudive Vice, and thereby relaxed, weakened, and debili-
tated.the whole Nervous System, will find the-Cordial Balm
of GilFird the Most pmerful, certain, and effeetual remedy.
It has been uncornm.nilysoCcessful with young people who
'Elva the appearance and air of old age ; who are pale, effe-
minate, hmumbed, stupid, and even imbecile ; whose bodies.
are become bent, whose legs are no longer scarcely able to
carry-theta ; who have an utter distaste for every thing, and
are totally incapacitated. Where the stomach is trequently
disordered, the body is weakened; paleness, bodily decay,
and emaciation, succeed this most destrudive habit, and the
eyes sink into the head. The virtue of the Cordial Balm or
Gilead is daily. lemonstrated, in eradicating the worst and
nxist dangerons'symptoms of Nervous Disorders; and nothing
,has tended so much to establish the lathe of this Medicine, as
its certain success in those complaints which strike their
roots so deep in the constitution, and are so fatal to the hap-
piness of mankind.

I mentioned the natives of Montagna Negro as a
parcel of banditti. They are in all -probability, the
aborigines of the cOuntrj ; and when Greece.declin-
ed from her former greatness, mouldered by degrees
from the Roman hands, and became a prey to the L
barbarous nations,-these wretched remains of kcele-
brated people forsook their fertile plains ,and vallies,
and took refuge amidst barren and almost inaccessi-
ble mountains. They preserved, indeed, their Tiber-
, ty by this desperate step.; but lost what is perhaps
of more consequence to the happiness of mankind--
the manners, the morals, the laws, which form
and preserve unbroken the bonds of society. The
Montagnegrines have returned to the state of ,
nature; and in a few ages have undone a system
which their fore-fathers could not accomplish dlr. •
ing the revolution of. a thousand years. There
is a wide difference .between them and the Sa-
vages of the new World ; but the balance is in
favodr of the Savage. He has virtues mixed with
the vices of an unlettered mind ; and virtues of
a quality that often serve as a veil for his crimes.
But the. Montagnegrines, after having gradually for-
feited the principles of - honor, and the sentiments
' of humanity, retained apd nursed every dark and
' unbridled passion that reduces men to the level of '
brutes. This ferocious tribe -acknowledge- no mas-•
ter ; and being equally out of reach of the Vene,-
tins and TurCs,'serve as an impenetrable barrier to
those nations in this quarter. By the most accurate
accounts I could obtain;they can bringt 4,000 fight-_.
ing men into the field ; which is the only mode by
which, their at-lug-numbers can be guessed. Sup- •
posing that every male capable of bearing arms is
ranked as a soldier—and this is no unreasonable con-
clusion among a barbarous race—we may reckon
the women and children at triple the number. This
calculation Will bring the Montagnegrines to 50,000
souls and upwards, who subsist on the footing of
primeval independence, and own no law but the
sword. Like the Americans and Arabs, they elect
a chief, to whom they pay obedience in public mat-
ters ; but reserve to themselves the right of execu-
tion in private concerns. - The murderer's life is not
only answerable for that he has taken away, but
should he escape, the life of one of his family is the
forfeit ; a piece of justice that nearly corresponds
with the account that I have had occasion to give of
the Arabs: With the litlontagnegrines, however, the
thirst of revenge seems far more bloody and nn- •
quen4able. Should the deceased leave a son at his
mothTr's breast, the satisfaction required is but defer-
ed tbr awhile. The disconsolate widow preserves the
bloody shirt, 'in which her husband was assassinat-
ed, as a memorial of the dead. ' With the sight
.of
this she kindles, and keeps alive, the. implacable
flame in tier offspring's breast, which breaks out
when he arrives at early manhood into an at of sa-
vage retribution. , She exhorts him, in the language
of the Spartan matrons, when they more nobly sent
their sons against the public enemy— . '

" Return victorious—or return no more !" •
Like a famished pard, the young enthusiast issues
from his den; .and the blood of a devoted and un-
suspe&ing vi&im gluts his revenge. What a dread-
ful atonement !. How contrary to the diaates of
reason and humanity ! and yet according to the re,-
cords of nations, and our own experience, n re-
pugnant to human nature. I feel myself mortified
at being surprised out of a refie6tion that does no
honour to our dispositions; and shews in the clearest
light, the virtue of education, and the beauty of,phi-
losophy

Though the Venetian Republic hold not these
people in subje&ion, she derive's every advantage
from :their vicinity which the cultivation of arts
affords a political state. She re-built the fortress of
Cataro on a steep and barren rock, as a bridle on
their fierce and ungovernable tempers. Behind this
rock is the
,only passage up to the mountains .; and
it is not to be supposed that the Montagnegrines
presume tc)' make incursions into the Venetian terri-
tories, when their retreat would be infallibly cut off
by the commanding situation of the castle battery.
Hence the iniiabitants of the valley live secure ; and
those of the mountain are constrained to bring down
the produce of their region to barter for what neces-
saries they may stand in need of. Beef, munqn,
poultry, game, eggs, and garden-stuff, are exchanged
by them for linens, woollens, beads, gimpowder,
All their Meat is exc(illent in its_ kind; and very.
cheap. Sunday is their market-day, a.vheti the road
is seen crowded with men and women, who are
laden with eatables, or drive doWn their cattle for_
sale. The women only are allowed to enter the
gate which opens to the pass. While these are bar-
tering their wares in - the city, the men assemble
without the walls, to divert themselves in drinking
or smoking, coursing round the plain, wrestling, or
hurling the quoit, as inclination leads them. There
were two field-pieces, loaded with grape, on the
drawbridge, that, were pointed on this tumultuous
assembly ; which, asJcontemplated from the wall,
recalled to my memory the idea of, the infernal
groupe of fallen sPirits; whom Milton so dreadfully
describes, in their pastimes.—

•
" Part on the plain, or in the air sublithe,
" Upon the wing, or in swift race contera!—
" Others, with vast Typhoean rage more tell,
" Rend up both rocks and hills—
. " Hell scarce can hold the wild uproar."
Amid one ,of those assemblies my fellow-tra-
yellers and I were tempted to venture ourselves, ac-
companied by a 'Venetian. Odicm Comte Le Zara_
w ich, who is a native of Cataro, and has an estate bor-
dering on the mountain. We were under the cannon
of tlw fort ; but, without such a condudor, it would
