in Bostona the late one in.which the fede-
raj candidate for congress supPlanted DR..

ed that there is a difference Of only one
vote in the number given for the electoral
ticket and that for DR.. Eustis : from which
it appears that he was unanimously
supported by the democrats. But inasmuch
as he has lost the election the New York

As we are daily victims of casualties and
disease, the mind Of man has. ever been
employed TO prevent the recurrence of the
one, and TO remedy the other. SET love
was perhaps, the original stimulus that led
to these researches; but it is certainly now,
in most cases, abenevoIcnt affection of the
humane heart that directs the application
of their results. II, under this view,
should communicate To suffering fellow
creature the means Of relief, though il may
differ from the received principle CT the
science Of medicine, and the practice Of
physicians in very prevalent and very
fatal disease, the consumption, hope shall
not be deemed assuming or ob,rusiye.---
Completely to eradicate this disorder, [
will not positively say tie following remedy
is capable OF doing; but viii venture to
affirm, that by temperate mcde ofliving,
(avoiding wholly spirituous liquors) wear
ing flannel next the skin; and taking eve
ry morning, half a pint of new milk mixed
with a wins glas. full of the expressed
Juice of green Aoarhouna; the complains
will not only be relieved, bur the lndividu-
al shall procure to himself length of days
beyond what its mildest form could give
room to hope fer. am myself, Sir,
living witness of the beneficial effects Of
this agreeable and, though innocent, yes
powerful application.
-Four weeks use Of the hoarhound and
milk relieved the pains of my breast; gave
me to breathe deep, long and free
strengthened and harmonized my voice.
and restored me TO state OF better health
shan hac enjoyed for many years. Hence
am embroidered to pray you to make this
known through the medium of your paper,
that the public welfare may be promoted by
the preservation of private worth that the
sacred ties of friendship the blssful union
of love; the high, ennobled, and interes.
ring connexions, of husband and wife, pa
rent and child, may not be suddenly and SO
frequently severed by the hand of death.
