CHRONIC RHEUMATIsM CURED!

GEORGETOWN, Jan. ST. 1853.
DEAR SIR: It is with sense of gratitude, and q
duesS to t E ES & % De nn
sent to give the following statement for publicity.
Until the last month was sufferer from Chronic
Rheumatism, from the effects of which my health
war so completely undermined and broken up, that
lost 20 or 30 pounds of my usual weight. Anxious
to ind some relief, resorted to the most approved
patent medicines l used number of bottles Of
Townsends Sarsnparilla, and exhausted the list of
Liniments, without any effect. My joints now be-
ceme enlarged, and the pains in MY limbs excru-
cisting, that they bad to be rubbed two or three
times night. The muscles ofmy legs were so con-
tracted that presented the appearance of nan of
sizty-fre when walked. In this condition, more
through curiosity than belief in its coed effects
commenced tie use ofyour Beech Drop, and in ten
or twelve days the swelling about my joints had sub
sided; and now, after the of three bottles, am
able to resume my business, and can walk with the
SANE and comfort that formerly did.
Yours truly, &C., ISAAC BARRErr,
Second street, Georgetown.

The BEECH DROP, OR CANCER Roof, is figured and

knowledge of its extraordinary medicrl virtues
was first learned from the North American Indians,
bygwhom it was used for the treatment and cure of

The Fluid Extract of Orobanche is composed en-
treiy Of the products of the vegetable kingdom,

The estimate that is accorded this preparation by

Tho following certificate is given from the very

SUPERSTITION.

Thou taintest all thou look'st upon The stars,
Which on thy cradle beam'd so brightly sweet,
Were gods, to the distcmpcr'd playfuness
OF thy untutor'd infancy the trees,
The grass, the clouds the mountains, and the sea,
All living things that walk, swim, creep, or fly,
We're gods; the sun had homage, and the moon
Her worshippcr. Then thou becam'st boy,
More daring in thy frenzies; every shape,
Monstrous vast, or beautifully Wild
Which from sensations relics, fancy culls;
The spirits Of the air, the shuddering ghost,
The genii Of the elements, tho powers
That gave a shape to natures varied works,
Had life and place in the corrupt belief
Of thy blind heart still thy youthful hands
Were pure of human blood Then manhood gave
Its strength and ardor to thy frenzied brain;
Thine eager gaze scann'd the stupendous scene,
Whose wonders mock Il the knowledge of thy pride
Their everlasting and unchangng laws
Rcproach'd thine ignorance. Awhile thou stood'st
Baiilcd and gloomy then thou didst sum up
The elements Of all that thou didst know;
The changing seasons, winters lea6ess reign,
The budding Of the heaven-brcathing trees
The eternal orbs that bcautify the night
The sunrise, and the setting of the moon,
Earthquakes and wars, pOisons aud disease
And all their causes, to an abstract point
Conyerging, thou didst give it name, and form,
Intelligence, and unity and power.
