and which l now understand is made and sold by
agents appointed by yourself, l have applied this
Ointment during the last three years to every species
oftumor and wound, without failure to produce a cure
in every instance. Iconsider it the most decided and
efficient remedy in all cases of tumor, be the cause
whatit may; and l have found nothing so good for
wounds of any description 1t may be proper to
add, that the cure of a tumor called white swelling,
given over by the most distinguished physicians as in.
durable. and whichth ~ decided would, withoutampu.
tation, prove fatalto the patient, was, under my imme.
date notice, effected blythe use ofJudkins' Ointment,
and the patient is in fine health, His limb affected by
ness. ALSO that the leg damaged man which had been
wounded, and exhibited one dreadfully liberated sur.
face from the knee to the foot, and which, for more
than two years, had been onsidere dincurable, wasef
fectuslly cured by the application of Judkins' Oint-
ment. | mention these two cases, whichfeliunder my
immediate notice and management, as a decided evil
dence Of the efficacy Ofthis remedy in cases oftumUr
and ofulcers: have experienced, as decidedly, the
good effect ofthis remedy in the cure of Felons, and
of every species of fresh wound. 1tseems to me that

Sir-My son having been afflicted for FIVE years
with white swelling, and having applied every RENE.
dy recommended by the most eminent physicians
within my reach without success, I at length procured
one jug of Dir Judkins' Patent Specific Ointment. and
made the application according to the directions ac-
compsnying the Ointment and state, for the benefit
of the afflicted. that before one jug was used. perfect
cure was effected. Ny son has enjoyed good health
ever since. have no doubt that to the Ointment alone
he is indebted, for nothing else was used for more
than nine months before the application of the oint.
ment. Respectfully, JOHN COOKE.

MACH PILLS.

THE only medicine ever yet offered to tho
u public, from which a radical and perma.
nent cure can be obtained of all those chronic
states of Encouragement of the digestive organs
constituting that complicated disease, termpi
Dyspepsia.
The duty which the proprietor owes to soci.
ETY., has induced him to adopt this mode of cir.
culation, in order to give it a greater range Of
publicity, that it may thereby become more ey.
tensively useful than it could possibly be. were
it confined within the private practice of any
individual whatever. The diseases consequent
on a morbid state of the stomach and bowels
are numerous, complicated, and, for the most
part, very difficult Of cure.
The proprietor Of these Pills is happy in hay.
ing it in his power to offer to all those who are
afflicted with the above complaint, a medicine
in which the most unlimited confidence maybe
placed, and, for simplicity of composition, may
be given to children and patients OF the most
delicate habit. In every CHRONIC case ofstomach
complaint, where the disease does not depend
on a schirrus, OF cancerOus state OF that organ,
Gin which case no medicine whatever can do
any good,) these pills will effect a certain and
speedy cure, after the stomach Of the patenthas
been cloyed with magnesia and chalk, and
drenched with all the bitter potions that art
could invent, to no purpose. They will most
effectually remove all sourness of the stomach,
not merely by neutralizing the acid, but by cor.
recting that morbid state of the secretions which
gives rise to it; and at the same time that they
are giving tone to the organs of digestion, they
will renovate and give new life and vigor to the
whole system. GEO. SMITH, Proprietor,

tent with the Constitution and Laws OF the U.

the suggestion of Counsel, granted stay OF

for leave to make up record of the proceed

been recorded more remarkable and mean-

exemplary conduct in private life as wife and
mother, refuse to pay passing tribute to her
memory. She made her first successful career
at Lisbon, and was afterwards the Pfima Don

No story connected with emigration can be
more heart-rending than that related by the pas
sengers of the Aurelia from Cork, part OF
whom arrived here by the ST. George from Que
bee on Saturday.
The Aurea arrived at Crosse Isle after a
six weeks passage, with about $40 passengers
in as good condition as the usual prvations,
from the want of room and want Of provisions
will permit They landed, and, after remaining
q week. proceeded on towards Quebec. Soon
after leaving the Island woman was found on
hoard sick who was taken to the Island, and
immediately the ship was ordered back. The
passengers were now re landed, and confined
i'm crowded shed, near the Hospital, with cen
tries placed to prevent their straylng beyond
the enclosure. In day or two sickness broke
out among them, and from two to six were draft
cd ont daily. to be carried tothe Hospital, new
pr TO return After remaining about four weeks
during which time between sixty and one hun

der were allowed to depart-wlVes without nus

four sons. :.
The condition Of the survivors should excite
commiseraton on another aecodnt They were
poor and short Of provisions. When their little
store was exhausted they were compelled to sell
their bedding clothes, and even shoes, TO pur-
chase subsistence from dar to day, at dear
rate. A part of them were sent up by the Que

passage, for the purser of the steamboats, found
