Il indeed, a melancholy truth, that thousands fall
victims 20 consumption every year from other
cause than neglected colds; yet we find hundreds,
nay thousands, who treat such complaints with the
greatest indifference, and let them run on for
weeks, and even months, without thinking Of the
danger. At first, you have what you consider
slight cough or cold; you allow business pleasure,
or carelessness 10 prevent you from giving Il any
attention; II then settles upon your breast, you be-
come hoarsc, have pains in the side chest espec
torate large quantities Of matter, perhaps mixed
with blood: difficulty Of breathing ensues, and
then you find your own foolish neglect has brought
ON this complaint. IT, then, you value your life
health, be warned in time, and don't trhe with
your cold, or trust 70 any quack nostrum TO cure
you; but Immediately procure bottle or two Of
that famous remedy, DIR. WISTAR'S BALSAM
OF WILD CHERRY, which is well known TO be
the most speedy cure ever known, thousands
will testify, whose lives have been saved by IL.
For influenza II is the very best medicine in the

BE not deceived; remember that spurious imita-

With whole nations wishes blest.

Inc PRESIDENT lnaue q DTlcI appropriate re-
ply. He returned his sincere thanks to Mr.. Gusts
and the board of managers for the very interesting
relic they had presented OF one who had been en-
phaticay 'sthe first in war, the first in peace, and
the first in the hearts of his countrymen;" he re-
garded it with feelings of the deepest interest,
and the world owed SO large debt of gratitude,
and especially as having been used by him. through
all his struggles, prvations, and suerngs, in that
contest which led TO the glorious contamination of
hs wishes in the establishment and recognitoQ of
national independence.
Every thing, said the President, that belonged
to such man, however small or apparently insig-
nifcant must possess value in the estimation OF all
who admired and revered he did the character Of
Washington, whose parallel could not be found in
the history Of mankind. His example, he said, it
had been his anxious desire to follow, and his wise
and patriotic precepts ever to cherish and obey in
whatever calculated TO conduce to the happi-
and the glory of his country. Among these pre-
cepts was one which enjoined upon his countrymen
the necessity of union, without which our great
public would fall into ruin, and become the mock
cry of the world. This precept he would endeavor,
far he had the power, at all times to obey, to
preserve the glorious union of the States the sheet
anchor OF our safety, strength, and prosperity He
was aware, he said, that his admiration of WASH
ingon, and his desire 10 initiate, though in an hum
BILE manner, his illustrious example, had been ridi
culed by the party press of this country but neither
ridicule censure should ever deter him from
doing what he believed to be right, from humbly
attempting to follow in the footsteps of the great BEN
elactor of his country, model worthy of all im-
tation. He observed, in conclusion, that 80 inter-
esting relic should be placed where it might be
seen and preserved; and be should therefore feel it
his duty to deposte il in the gallery of the Patent
Office, among the other relics Of the illustrious
Washington.
The board then took their leave of the President,
and withdrew.-Nat. Intellgencer.
