TO THE PUBLIC,
Who are affected Nth Coughs, Gods, Assa-
mas and Gorsumpta0ns.

Vr-HERE is perhaps no medical obserFa-
ton better established, none more gen
orally confirmed by the experience OF the best
physicians of all ages and countries, and none
of more importance 10 the practitioner, than
the fact, that many of the most difficult ana
incurable complaints originate IN neglected
COLDS. In a climate as variable as cars
where the changes of the weather, are ire
quentIy sudden and unexpected, requires
more care and attention. to guard against this
subtle and dangerous enemy OF lite, than
most people Imagine, or are willlEg to DC,
stow. Hence tie vast number OF patents al
ficted with coughs, catarrhs, asthmas ana
consumptions. The many cases OF the KIND
which fell under my observation, the clsap-
pointment experienced in practice, from
remedies highly recommended, and my owe
pre-disposition to pulmonic complaints, were
strong inducements for me to consider when
Their compound, consisting of mild veglta-
bic substances could not be invented, more
free from the well founded objections OF pra-
ticioners, and letter calculated to avert the
threatening destruction of the lungs.
I have the satisfaction to offer to the public
such aremedy, under the name Of the W.
GETABLE PULMON1C DETERGENT,
well adapted to various constitutions and Ia
bits, and to declare with the fullest confidence
that found this composition tar superior to
others intended to answer the same purpose.
/ am perfectly satisfied, that practitioners,
who have frequently to combat the effects of
suppressed perspiration and do not neglect.
I 4 y
whenever they are indicated, will place this
medicine on the list oftheir most favorite re-
medies as it can III no case do harm. | viii
bide by this motto
NO RELIEF NO PAY.
This motto may be deemed ostentatious by
some, and amounting 10 a positiveness that
the medicine will invariably effect cure in
any stage of disease like a miracles the
proprietor is far s'om believing That this me-
dicins will render mankind immortal; but he
is fully sensible If taken seasonably, and ac-
cortling to the directions, it will either pre-
vent or cure, and If unseasonabiy, 1t will most
ssensibly alleviate distress aud prolong LIE
and having no desire to profit by the conf
denee of the sick and afflicted, induces me to
make the above overture should the contra
ny appear in any instance, as IN some 1t pos
sibly may, the money for the medicine will
be cheerIuIly refunded by the person who
may yenG the same.

"The Author has performed this task
In very satisfactory manner. His fnee :

Agreeabiy to our promise we this
day submit to our readers extracts
from Vattei of a considerable length,
which merit dispassionate attention,
not merely because they vindicate the
course pursued by our government,
aud indeed manifest lis mildness, but
because they defue the existing char
acter of Mr.. Jackson, Notwithstanding
the necessary step taken by the Presi-
dent, and show especially that he still
preserves all the inviolabiliry attached
by the law of nations to a public min
lister. Had the President even gone
further than he has, and ordered him
to leave the country, while he remain
ed In it he would continue to enjoy all
the i'm mites attached to his appoint.
ment. The inviolahility ofhis person
and the respect due to his ofic would
be in no wise impaired. 1t requires
no argument to shew that, in a case
where the government has gone a
much lesser length, the same inyiola
bility and respect attach to him. All
though the President has refused 70
receive anv further communication
from him, he is sill public minister
and the representative of the British
government in many important res.
poets.
Our comparative unacquaintance
with the law of nations, arising from
the infancy of our national existence
aud our fortunate freedom from for
eign connections or collisions, renders
the diffusion of these truths at this
time moro important, lest the indipn A.
tionlikelv to be excited by Mr.. lack
sons conduct should prompt aay o
our citizens IN the warmth of their
feelings to Offer an insult to him, OF
DC wanting in those Offices which his
station entities him to claim. Such
an incident, independent of the iust
reProach to which it would expose oul
character, might have an unpropitious
influence on the concerns Of the two
nations, as, At the very moment our
government was urging to that of Bri.
tain just comptaivt against her min.
lsters she night have cause to com
plain ofthe conduct ofour citizens, anc
the acts, although distinct, be but like
ly to be blended together.
Should the feelings of any one tend
to excite a disposition to treat Mr.
Jackson indecorously, let him reAec
on the punishment to which he woulc
thereby inevitably expose him self, anc
to the deep injury he might, however
unlptentlonally, inAict on his country
and we are persuaded he will feel it
sacred duty to abstain from all violenc
or indecorHm, leaving to his govern
ment the management of an affair O
80 much delicacy and Importance.
