this article the OIL OF TANNIN-which pene-
traes the stiest and hardest leather if it has been
twenty years in use; and if tears easily with the
fingers, it imparts at strength that is utterly
incredible until seem 1t becomes like new leather
in all respects, with delightful softness and polish,

minatye Basam Il believe il to be a very happy
combination, and useful medicine in many COM
plants which almost constantly occur in our coun-
try, such as Bowel Affections Of children Cholic,
Cramps, Looseness, Dyspeptc, Disorders of the
Stomach, Coughs and Affections of the Breast, to-
gether with all those diseases attended with sour

will often find it useful remedy in their hands, and
that is proper for domestic use, and can be put
into the hands of persons at large with perfect safety
