The most obstinate coughs yield to il.
The preposterous composition of infamma-
tory drugs; the disappointment repeatedly
experienced in nay practice, from remedies,
highly recommended, added to my own pre-
disposition to Pulmonic complaints, were
powerful inducements with me to consider,
whether compound, consisting of vegetable
substances, could not be invented, more free
from the well founded objections of practi-
TONERS, and better calculated to avert the
threatening destruction of the lungs.
Inow offer to the public, the result of
twenty years experience on this subject. No
expepce or trouble has been spared in this
composition That no medicine, for consump-
tive and asthmatic complaints, has been so
successful as my Vegetable Pulnionic Deter

" The true method Of instruction is a hoqyer-
FIJI iever." BACON.

MIR. SWEET respectfully gives notice,
VI that he will begin with second class
in the art of Pcnmanship on Monday next
at O'clock p. M. at Mrs. Sansum's board
ing house. His method of teaching this art,
isithat of Analysis. A person will acquire
a fair, regular ham in twelve exercises of
two hours each. The truth of this assertion
has long been established by experience: yet
to some it may appear Incredible. But to
those, who are acquainted with the method
of analysis, and reflect what Bacon, Newton
aud Locke effected by it in philosophy, it
cannot appear incredible. 1t is a melancho-
" truth, supported by the history of useful
discoveries and inventions, that chow well
grounded soever new doctrine may be, there
win be strenuous opposition to it, arising from
Prejudice orftrehossession." Those who wish
to attend, must make immediate application,
as the school will soon be closed; and if a
fair, regular hand shall not be acquired in
the specified time, no charges will be made
for tuition.
