NEW INVENTION.

ME subscriber has invented TRUSS for
ID that kind of breach technically called IN
galnat herRia, which is believed to be altogether
superior to any thing of the kind hitherto EN-
pioyed or known. 1t consists OF bandage and
compress or congresses, as the case may ie-
quire, and is composed almost entirely OF soft
leather. 1t is found TO be equally as eifectual
In securing the desired object as any spring
apparatus whatever, and possesses this decided
advantage, it is incomparaLty more easy to the
itocarer. Those who have made trial of both
kinds, have pronounced the bandage and COM
press altogether superior 10 any spring. The
subscriber will fit and apply them to all who
may be disposed TO make trial of them, at his
Shoemaker's Shop, about forty rods east of the
Stage House, in Westminster.
This Truss has received the entire approba-
ton OF tho following medical gentlemen, who
may be consulted by those DESTROYS of further
information: Drs. Snow and Wilder of Fitch
burg, DR.. Smith of Princeton, DIR. Cutting OF
Westminster, DIR. Clark of Hubbardston, DR..
Osgood of Templeton, DR.. Parker of Gardner,
and DR. Cutler OF Ashburnham
Price from 81 80 TO $3.50, and warranted.

On, WHITWELL'S ORIGINAL
OPODELDOC.

One bottle Of tohieh rs oarrdnted to contain 8
times the strength of the HARD kind
"a NHIS article is considered by the first ply
n sicans in the United States, to rank high
er than any other composition in existence, for
the following complaints, viz: Bruises, SPrains,
Gout, Rheumatism, Cramp, Numbness, Weak
ness or Stiffness of the Neck Joints, Chill
blains, Chapped Hands, Stings of Insects, Veg
etable Poisons, &c. &C.. 1t is applied both to
man and beast.
n B. There are in the United States not
less than fifty limitations of this article, IA pref
ty good evidence of the worth of the Originally
but the public ought to be acquainted with the
fact, that nine tenths of these pretended imlta-
tions of this nimitable composition, sold under
the name of Liquid Opodetdoc'" are little else
Than hard soap, and a small quantity OF cham
phor dissolved in whiskey or new rum.
To encourage ignorant and bold pretenders,
is to countenance imposture; to purchasers oil
this class, time and experience will teach wis
dom. Prudence, in all cases, is desirable viz.
tue but the saving of few cents in phial of
medicine is piliful economy, and may lead to
worse consequence than the loss of tho money.
The idea of prclerring physician because
he was 4 cheap one, would be considered
mark of insanity. To prefer one medicine to
another because it costs less, is equally adverse
to sound judgment and common sense; IN both
cases life and limb are at stake. No person
could use the same ingredients and afford the
article at less price. A knowledge of this
composition, however, is known only to the
the proprietor and TO the physician whose GER
tihcate accompanies it.
Also, may be had of the original and sole
Proprietor, the VOLATILE AROMATIC
SNUFF, for many years celebrated in cases Of
Catarrh, Headache, Dizziness, Dimness of Eye
sight, Drowsincss, Lowness of Spirits, Hypo-
condra Nervous Weakness, &c. 1t is most
fragrant and grateful to the smell, beng mostly
composed of roots and aromatic herbs. 1t is
absolutely necessary for all those who watch
with or visit the sick. Price 80 cts. and 25 cts.
WHtTWELL'S BITTERS,-a most eff
cacious and wonderful cordial medicine, for
Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Sickness of the Stomach,
Flatuence, Want of Appetite, &c They give
tone to the solids, enrich the blood, and in
vigorate the whole system. No tavern should
be without them. Price 1913 cents paper.
The Purgatioe Po,oders are highly important
in all the above complaints, and should in most
cases be used with the Bitters

can be referred toy had been confined to his bed
most of the time for week suffering most ex-
crucisting pain from Rheumatism after having
had recourse TO the round OF antdotes ususllyre-
sorted to in this complaint, but without benefit;
and while in this state of suffering, and no pros
peet of relief, MIR. Caleb Symmes, who his
neighbor, aud who Owing TO the extraordinary
benefit he had himself experienced from its use)
recommended the article with such confidence
as induced Mr.. r. to make use OF it, which he
did. with the usual success attending its admin

lief, and cure
Mr. 4. of Boston, was attacked with very
cation ofthis Lsiment, on going to bed, instant
Iy relieved, and cured by morning-obscrves he
never used any thing which gave him so much
and great relief
A n old revolutionary officer near Boston, was
sorely afflicted for years with rheumatic com
plants, especially in his joints and limbs, which
were frequently much swollen,-could obtain
only temporary relief from medical advice, or
the use of various remedies, and had despaired
of help; when friend, who had Witnessed the
wonderful effects of this Liniment, advised him
TO make use oft, which he did, with the most
happy effect it reduced the swelling in one
night. This article is considered so superior TO
every thing else, and to possess such uncommon
virtues, that it is ordered from distant parts OF
the country. An agent recently writes g Please

He talked of daggers and Of darts,
Ofpassions and of pains,
Ofweeping eyes and wounded hearts,
Oh kisses and of chains;
He said, though love was kin to grief,
He was not born to grieve;
He said though many rued belief,
She safely might believe;
But still the lady shook her head,
And swore by yea and nay,
My whole was all that he had said,
And all that he could say.
He said my first, whose silent car
Was slowly wandering by,
Yelled in a vapor faint and far,
Through the unIathomed sky
Was like the smile whose rosy light
Across her young lips passed,
Yet oh. it was NOT half so bright,
1t changed not half so fast;
But still the lady shook her head, &c.
And then he set a cypress wreath
Upon his raven hair,
And drew his rapier from its sheath,
Which made the lady stare;
And said, his life blood's purple flow
My second there should dim,
1fshe be loved and worshipped so
Would only weep for him;
But still the lady shook her head,
And swore by yea and nay,
My whole was al that he had said,
And all that he could say.

WHAT is LIFE? There is eloouence of
thought as well as of language in the fol-
lowing paragraph from Arnott's Elements
of Physics.
"The functions by which the animal body
assumes foreign matters from around. and
converts them into his own substance. is
little inviting in some of its details; but
taken altogether is one of the most wonder
ini subjects which can engage the human
attention. 1t points directly to the curious
and yet unanswered question-what is
LIFE The student of nature may analyze
with all his art those minute portions of
matter called seeds and Qua, which he knows
to be the rudiments of future creatures, and
the links by which endless generations of
living creatures hang to existence; but he
connot disentangle and display apart their
mysterious life! that something under the
influence of which each little germ, in due
time swels out to fill an invisible mould of
maturity which determines its forms and
proportions. One such substance thus be-
comes beauteous rose-bush; another a
noble oak !; third an eagle; fourth an
eiephant-yea, in the same way out of rude
materials of broken seeds and roots, and
leaves of plants and bits of animal flesh, is
built up the human frame ITSELF whether of
the active male, combining grac efulness
with strength, or of the gentlar woman,
with beauty around her as light How
passing strange that such should be the ORR
gin of the bright human eye, whose glance
pierces as if the invisible soul were shot
with it-of the lips which pour forth sweet
est eloquence-Of the larynx, which by Vi
brating, fills the surrounding airwith music
and more wonderful than all, of that mass
shut up within the bony fortress of the skull
whose delicate and curious texture is the
abode of the soul, with its reason which it
contemplates, and its sensibility which de-
lights in these and endless other miracles
of creation"
