Or. JArNE--D.m Sr.--By the blessing Of God
your INDIAN EAPECi GRANT has effected
q cure in me of most distressing complaint. Ia
December last / was seized with great sevcrt,
10y Paroxysm of Asthma; a disease with which
had been afflicted for many years past. 1t was
attended with a hoarscness and soreness Of the
lungs and throat, together with laborious cough,
and complete prostration OF strength, and when
almost worn out with sutlocation, bottle of your
EXpecorant was sent to my house. at first
thought it was nothing but Guackery, but seeing
it so highly recommended by DR.. Going, with
whom was well acquainted, was induced to try
it, and in few days it completely cured me, nor
have | ever had any return of the disease since.
have now formed so hi5h an opinion of your
medicine that if had but few bottles of it, and
could obtain 10 more, would not part with them
for len dollars eGch.
Yours, most respectfully,
JOHN SEGER.

try is only increased by return Cor goods
that are gent out of it, and the work that is
performed by it. OF course the oHlys way
In which money is retained, is, by the coun-
try supplying lis own consumption of man
ufacture. And whenever new prospects Of
wealth or profit prompt the capitalist and
active part of mankind to look about and
contriye how they may convert their prop
eFty and labor TO the most advantage their
own interest aud that Of the public gener
ally concur.
Il, then, By a thorough Geological Survey
OF our State the result should be, Gas it
undoubtedly would. the discovery Of yalu-
able ores and minerals, the attention of cap
italists and euterprising individuals would
be drawn TO the subject, and founderies and
manufactures established which would give
a profitable employment TO The laborer, and
insure handsome income to the adverlur-
err. Whenever loss is sustained by the
undertaken in any new enterprise, It's either
through lack of economy in his manage
ment or unfortunate ignorance of the bust
ness. This is one reason why geological
surveys afe adventurous 10 the public, espe-
cially in countries like Vermont, that show
so great prospect of mineral wealth.
Visionary persons who have little means
TO spare would not distress themselves and
families in searching for hidden treasures
whele there is no prospect of realizing
return for their pains, did they better under
stand the science of mineralogy and geolo-
gy. The knaves and fools who frequently
wander about the hills with their divining
or mineral rods, making numerous duIes Of

men, would no longer find encouragement
for their nefarious practices. Although the
ridcule which has been thrown upon this
class of impostors has already diminished

many people, that they appear to think
in relation TO mineralosy and geology, is as

But the fact that the val0ao'e iron mines,
