III Sick Headache Remedy.--A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently ofered
tothe public, is attracting great attention, not only
by of the very satisfactory testimonials TO
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by il, but also because
there so great number Of people who az
ficted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DIR.
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy of his "rem-
edy" is physician in this city, in high standing,
with a large practice He is physician in whom
great confidence is placed; and we do not wonder
that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been so long needed has attractedthe attention
of all uferers from headache who have heard of it,.
From our own knowledge of DIR. Eastman's char
acter and practice, we have no doubt that the med
icine deserves the favor il receives, and that il will
prove 10 be great benefit TO all who may give il
a trial.-Lynn Neps, December %, 1853

try, in place of them, foreign artisans, mechanics

These mems pretensions are idle and absurd
Their religion is base hypocricy; their oppo
sition to Foreigners an absurd pretence. They
do not care straw for either. All that they
want is Office, and, in order to get it, they ap.
peal to the pious who love religion, and to the
natives who dislike foreigners. The whole
thing is a humbug and fraud. IfAmericans
shall sustain the pretended American party,
they will be dupes indeed.
