Il speedy, safe and certaia cure for &c UE
s. FEVER, ChiH-fer Dlmb-,Ague,
Intermittent FererS, and all The u0riOuS
forms of Bilious diseases.
YVHIS valuable medicine is undoubtedly
IL the safest and suIeSt remedy ever dis
covered for the cure of the above named
diseases. II not only breaks the chill, but
removes the cause from which the disease
originates, Its operation is both general
and special. While it acts generally up,
on the whole system, as a most powerful
Alternative, purifying the fluids, freeing the
solids from all morbid secretionS, and res
invigorating and bringing up all the vital
energies to a standard of permanent
health, il at the same time eXerts a Speci-
fic influence upon the liver, digestive or
gans and lymphatic and glandular sys-
items, exciting them to heathful activity,
removing all morbid matter, equalizing
the circulation, restoring their proper and
necessary Secretlons, thus accomplishing
a complete renovation from disease, and
restoration TO sound aud permanent health.
Those who are suffering with the pros
trating AGUEs& s. FEYERS common in
the West and South-those whose consti-
tutions have become enfeebed by the use
of mercury, quinine, or other violent me-
dicines, should resort of once 10, the use of
this VALUABLE MEDICINE.
1t hdscured and ,riH cure the most OBJ
SinGte cases.
Travelling with the circulation il pourS
its healing current through every vein and
artery of the human body. The whole
animal economy is made to undergo a tho.
rough radical change. Even the mind
partakes of the healthful process, and life
that before appeared one dreary waste, be-
gins again to seem worth possessing.
20 Pamphlets respecting this Valuable
Medicine, can be obtained of the Agents
gratis.

D. Fever, Intermittent & Remittent Fe-
vcrs, aud all the various forms of Bilious
diseases, speedily and permanently cured
BY DIR. WATSON'S INDIAN VEGET-
ABLE TONIC.
This valuable medicine was prepared
from an extensive practice of several
years in bilious climate in the Western
States, and was never known to fail of Gu
ring Fever and ague, or any of the above
diseases.
Itis equally ef'ectual for the cure of Ii
yer Complaint, Jaundice, Enlargement of
the Spleen, (called Ague Cake and the
various forms of bilious diseases. These,
with the other various affections Of such
climates, arising from a common miasmal
cause, are only notifications of the same
disease, and equally controlled by the
same remedy.
Residents of bilious climates, cmigrsntS
or persons travelling through infected dis
tricts of country. will not only find DIR.
Watson's Indian Vegetable Tonic a safe,
speedy and eflectual cure, but an absolute
preventive.
Each bottle of medicine is accompani-
ed with pamphlet on the Causes, Treat
ment and Cure of Fever and Aguc. and

Lungs, affections Of The Lircr, Broncti-

Breast or LlipgS, Chronic Coughs, Pleu-
risy, Beaorhdge Of the Lungs, and all
affections I the Pulmonary organs.
RI ATURE'S OWN PRESCRIPTION.
" "A compound balsamic preparation
Of the PrunS Virginia, or Wild Cherry
Bark. combined with the extract Of the tar,
prepared by new chemical process, APP
proved and recommended by the most dis
tinguished physicians, and universally ac-
knowledged the most valuable medicines
ever discovered,
We do not wish 10 trife with the lives
OF health of the afflicted, and we sincere
ly pledge ourselves TO make no assertions
as 10 the virtues of this medicine, and to
hold out no hope TO suffering humanity,
" hich facts will not warrant.
We ask the attention Of the candid TO
few considerations. Nature, in every part
of her works, has left indelible marks of
adaptation and design.
The constitutions of the animals and th5
vegetables of the torrid are Suchthat they
could not endure the cold OF the irigid
zone-vice versa.
Inregard TO disease and its cure, the a.
daptation is no less striking. The moss of
Iceland, the wild cherry and pine of all
northern attitudes, (the Balsam is chem
ical extract of these) have long been cell
ebrated for complaints prevalent only in
warm climates. Indeed the most distin-
guished men have sverred that nature fur
niShes in every country anhdotes for its
own peculiardiseases
Consumption, in its confirmed and Incl
pient stages, coughs, asthma, Group, and
liver complaint, form by far the most fatal
class of diseases known 10 our land.
Net even these may be cured by means
OF the simple yet powerful remedies which
ares scattered wherever those maladieS
prevail.
Scarcely mail arrives from any point
in the west, but that brings us news of the
most cheering character, which goes stih
farther(f more evidence were necessary
10 establish the reputation of this great
remedy.
~ None can be genuine without the
names of Henry Wistar, NJ. d., and San
ford & Park are found upon the wrapper.
No medicine. called Syrup of Wild Cher
ry, or Wild Cherry Ritters can be relied
upon. Theymay not beLetit, but actually
injure the patient,
w CDR. wISTAR'S BALSAM OF
WILD CHERRY is the only remedy to
which invalias shonld resort for the cnre
OF pulmonary complaints.

Medicaied Strengthening Plaster


VVVHIS plaster has been prepared under
L the Immediate eye and Supeiintend-
ence of an old physician, who is a gradu-
ate of the University of Pennsylvania,
and has had extensive practice for more
than 30 years in treating the various dis
eases incident to this country. He conf
dently recommends this Plaster, fiom a
thorough knowledge of its virtues, to be
superior to every Plaster now in use. BY
keeping up gentle perspiration, il is ad-
mirably adapted for Pains or Weakness
in the Breast, Side, Back or Limbs; also,
for the Gout, rheumatism, Enlargement
of the Spleen, Liver Complaint and Dys-
pepSia, and for Coughs, Colds, Asthma,
Difficulty of Breathing Oppression of the
Stomach, &c. To all persons predisposed
to CONSUMPTION, or who are subject to vi
olentcoughs and colds, they are particular
~ recommended as they give almost inn
mediate relief, and for pleasantness, safe
ty, ease and certainty, they are decidedly
superior TO most other remedies.

diseases will find DR.. Easterly's Medica-
ted Strengthening Plaster much superior
to any other ever before offered 10 the pub

The Court of Inquiry.

The New Orleans papers ofthe 10th, have &C.
counts of the proceedings ofthc Court ofInquiry
during the seventh, eighth and ninth days of II c
session. We find in the Commercial Times
the following abstract of the proceedings, fol-
lowing the testimony of Mr. Trist, which We
have already given:
On the same day, Qhe siXtli,) Gen. CadwaladeI
gave his testimony, and in reference to paper
no. 3. said IL have looked over all the inter.
linea.ions but in none OF them do recogni. c
the hand writing of Gen. Pillow
Lieut. Col. Duncan, for the defencs stated
that he had examined paper No. 3, and he was
satisfied that there is not word in it in Gen
Pillows hand writing.
Lieut. Rains could not recognize it, and Ma
ior Polk, who had been law student two ye r:
in Gen. Pillows office, felt convinced that moth
ing in No. 3 was in the later's handwriting.
| Major Burns acknowledged himself to be the
author of No. 3, (the Leonidas letter J that he
wrote it at the request of no one /; and tn he
obtained the order of the arrangement of Il G
heads, from which he wrote it, from "a menoran
DUN or partial repor, of Gen. Pillow of the p
perations of his division Of the 10Th and ooh o
August. having found it on his table in his p'
vate Office Gen L. he stated, never had an,
knowledge OF the letter until after publication.
On the eighth day Gen. Scott, the prosecu tor
cross-examined MAJOR Burns al length, with the
view to mpugn and lmpeach the testimony o
that witness. The questions put were of very
searching character tending to subsantiate the
allegation that he had been in the habit of writing
letters highly lauditory of Major Gen. Pillow
and transmitting them open through Gen. Pillow
and that the probability was he had done in the
case of this the most important of these letters
Major Burns declined answering, on the plea
that he would be eliminating himself.
On the ninth day, Gen. Scott put on record The
fac, Of the refusal 10 answer by Major Burns, ant
comments thereon. Gen. Pillow had no objec
ton to the cross-examination but Major Is, pu
in paper, in reference to the style OF crosse
tonng a6oT ted by the prosecutor comp ialnlnl
thereof, and calnng Oh the court TO protect mn
from insult.
Tho cross-examination continued and Mao
Burns confessed on comparing the two letters
one aud three, were, in certain passages, near
identical, but he could not account for the colnci
dence.
After Major Burns's testimony was concluded
Captain Naylor was called, when the account
the proceedings by the Ohio terminates
