TUE CELEBRATED.
Jew David's, OF Hebrew
Plaster!

A certain Remedy for all fqed pains in
Me side, chest, I0ins, back, bowels,
muscle.
I'D liEUMATISM in ell its varied
- form, Nervous Affections, Lungs
and Liver complaints, Spinal Affections,
Female Weaknesses, &c. DC. For the
above complaints this plaster. has no
equal The great celebrity which it
has already acquired, not only in the
new world, the extraordinary cures il
has performed in the most extreme
caSes of suffering, have acquired for it
such a reputation, hat the proprietor
has not luntil recently been able 10 sup
ply half the demand.
The sales throughout every cityS
town and village in the United States are
without parallel!
A circumstance no; surprising, when
the vast amount Of human suffering re-
lieved by its use be considered, in spinal
defects the benefit usually is of the most
decided character. In Nervous com
plants, nineteen cases out Of twenty
readily yield to the penetrating stimula
combined in this valuable preparation.
In Rheumatism either acute or chron-
ic the claims Of the Hebrew Plaster
have long since been universally acr
knowledged. Those who are laboring
under weak backs, no matter from what
cause the Weakness may have original
ed, (eveh if such person have been miss
gGided in previous. ~applications) in the
use ofthe Hebrew Plaster they will find
the affected part suddenly restored 10
the original soundness. 4.
AS a supporter in cases of consiitu-
tional weakness it will be found o great
advantage. 1t is particularly recon-
mended to Females who are suffering
from sudden weakness, or general de-
billty, In short, it embraces all tho
virtues which the most scientific mind
was capable ofcompounding from valua-
Bile substance found in the old world,
and will be found entirely free from
those objections which are a source Of
complaint with the numerous spread
plastersnow before the public.
W These plasters possess the ad-
vantage Of being put up in air tight
boxes, hence; they retain their full VIII.

HOW TO WIN HIM.

Any one who is cool towards you,
may be won over much more easily by
your receiving a kindness from him, than
by your doing him one. We have
known avery successful ,elcctioneer, who
said that one chew of tobacco begged,
gained him more favor than ten chews
given. Doctor Franklin well knew this
trait in human nature; and once avail
ed himself Of il 10 good purpose. 1t
was when lie was rather young; and was
Just elected clerk TO the Pennsylvania
House Of Burgesses, or Representatives,
before the Revolution. Party spirit was
very high, between the Preprieiaries,
who were al islocralic, and the fiiends OF
popular rights. franklin was of the
latter party; aud his election had been
strcnuousIy opposed by The former
Among his walmest opponents was a
member, whom he knew to lie gentle
man Of high character, and much more
desirable as friend than as an enemy
This member preserved towards Frank
lin peculiarly cold and naughty beaI>
ing:
Our hero happening to hear that the
gentleman had rare and curious book
wrote a polite nole, asking the loan Of j
for a few days. The book was sent;
and the very next morning, when they
met in the House, the gentleman's man
ner was visibIy more civil. Franklin
read the book, and punctually returned
it, in good order, neatly wrapped up
with a note of thanks, containing alst
some simple, yet striking remark, sucl
as no man better knew how to make, up
on the character OF the work. The icy
barrier was now entirely broken down
The gentleman repeated dly entered int
conversation with our philosopher; and
like all others who gave his wonderful
colloquial powers fair play, soon feI
their magic. In no very long time h
was one Of FrankIin's warmest and fir
mest friends.-Banner of Temperance
