"The power given by the constitution to the Executive, to interpose his veto, js.a high coufserrative power, which should never be exercised except in cases of clear violation of the constitution, or manifest haste and want of consideration by Congress." "The personal opinions of the individual who may happen to occupy the Executive chair, ou"ht not to control the action of Congress up on questions of domestic policy, nor .ought his objections to be interposed where questions of constitutional power nave Deen settled Dy tne various departments of government, and ac quiesced in by the people. "Upon the subjects of the tariff, the currency, the improvement of pur great highways, livers, lakes, and harbors the wiU of the people, as expressed tho' their representatives in fEoMress. ought to be respected, and carried out hy jbe Executive," "War, at all times, and under all circumstan ces, is a national calamity, to be avoided, if compatible with national honor. "ihe principles of our government, as well as its true policyi are opposed to the subjugation of other nations and the dismemberment of other countries by conquest, for, in the language of the great Washington, 'why should "we quit oi;r own to stand on foreign ground.'

"Sir riprrmt me ftrt this ftrrneinn rt rail vonr ; tv..... ... . j attention to the fact that our -political opponents declare that you are opposed to the improvements of our Western Rivers and Ilar- ' pors; and that we have always met this declation with the assurance that Gen.

"We are told, sir, that should -you secure the election to tlx Presidency of the United States, your administration would lend its influence to the extension and perpetuation of tinman, slavery. ' ' "The people here assembled will with the greatest pleasure hoip listen to any communi-i-ation which, sir, it may be your pleasure to Fubmit." Address of Chief Justice Wood, of Ohio, to Gen. Cass at Cleveland, June 1S18. Gen. Cass's Reply. "Sir, the noise and confusion which pervades 1 his assembly will prevent my being heard on the important topics to which you have called my attention. j must therefore content myself with thanking you for the generous recep tion which I, the unworthy representative of tne great democratic party of the country, have received at jour hands. "1 hope you have all read the letter which I addressed to the National Democratic Convention, declared that to be the close of my political professions." Perilous State of Mexico. From a ccnye;3ation with an intelligent Mexican, says the New Orleans Delta of the 23rd, "we have derived much valuable information confirmatory of our previous predictions, that a fierce revolution will soon breakout in that unhappy country. We learn that the pronunciamiento of Paredes has met wilh more favor than is generally supposed. He has many influential partisans, who, it is thought, when a favorable opportunity offers, will rally around his standard, and in as great numbers as they did in 11, when Paredes overthrew the government of Herrera." The parly of Pena y Tena is said to be disafJecled, and to be secretly laboring to underline the weak and imbecile government of Herrera, who is generally admitted to be entirely unequal to the task of holding the helm in these stormy times. His cabinet, moreover, is composed of such hetorogeneous and conflicting elements, that unity of council and action bo necessary in such a crisis, cannot be expected of it. The spirit of party now raging more fiercely through the country than at anv pre vious epoch of its history, must inevitably, in a very short time, bring about the dissolution pf the present Government. A war of races is already begun, and soon will extend all over Mexico. The extermination of tha Hispano-American race will be the result of their hostilities, unless timely measures are adopted to break up the incipient organization of the Indians. Herrera is so apprehensive of a general rising of the Indians in iand about the city of Mexico, that he dares not Bend away any troops to oppose the progress of Paredes anu Padre Jarauta. Toacjd to these difficulties, England, we understand, has peremptorily demanded the payment of the debts due by Mexico to English mbjects, and threaten to blockade her ports in case of refusal. Gek.

The Pictorial Brother Josathaw for the 1

4f& of July. This gorgeous Jubilee Pictorial has been sent us by the Publishers, Wilson qCo., of New York, Among fifty or sixty oth er finely executed engravings will be found a Mexican Battle Piece, covering a surface of nearly seven square feet; and so life-like and full of spirit is the picture, that the figures almost seem to move on the paper. This Dou ble Mammoth Sheet also contains among its principal attractions, an engraved fac-simile.of. the Original Hough Drpft of the Declaration of Independence, a great curiosity in its way. Also, eleven Orignal Designs by Gavarni, the great French artist, illustrating recent scenes in Taris. The Factorial Jonathan also contains a large number of beautiful Fancy Pictures well calculated to suit the public taste. A letter enclosing pee dollar, and addressed to Wilson J- Co., Publishers, New York, will bring by return of mail, ten copits. The following are some of the remarks of our contemporaries. "Pictorial Erother Johsathas. The present number carries away the palm from all its predecessors. It is greatwonderful in tact, it we could not replace it, we would not lose our copy for three dollars." Phila. TAZgei "A most gorgeous Pictorial, and a rich to of our glorious Fourtii.-f-iV'.

Enq. Gen. Lase. The Vera Cruz correspondent of the N. 0.' Delta writes : "I am informed it is toe intention of Gen. Lane, on his arrival at New Orleans, to equip a force of 3500 men and return to Yucatan to fight the the battles of that province under the Yucatan banner. The general is a man of business and energy, and 1 would not be surprised to see him, at n j very distant day, the President of Yucatan. All the b'hoys at this place look anxiously for his arrival to know his sentiments and learn his intended mode of proceeding. C3"The Hon. W. W. Wick, the member of Congress from Indianapolis district, occasionally catches "jessee for his low blackguardism, and truth to say he deserves all he gets and more. The Washington correspondent of the North American, pitches into him after this fashion: Mr. Vinton got the Civil and Diplomatic Bill before the House. This is a political omnibus, and has to carry all sorts of passengers, wilh their baggage. Mr. Wick, of Indiana A renegade who deserted the Whig party, to seek the more congenial association of Locofoism mounted the tribune and fatigued the few patient members who remained at their desks, with a tc rilten volume of party slang: every line and syllable of which discovered the instincts of a demagogue and was redolent of the stench of the gutters, to which its author has long since been consigned,by thecommon consent of every respectable member of the body. There are caterers for popular favor in the House, vyho with all their subterranean inclinations are deserving of couriesey and whose personal integrity commands thejrespect alike of theirassociatesand their opponentsjbut this creature combine the harlequin and the hypocrite, and he never risesfor anything but" 'to disgust the propriety and stain tha reputation of the Chamber. This is the second occasion within a short time upon which he has had the audacity to play off such offensive antics pefore the House. " When he attempts them again, rie should be conducted intfl eome presence more affiliated with his tastes and more accustomed to the gross inclinations of a deprived understanding A sycophant so servile as this Wick, and so barefacedly corrupt in his professions, -who lacks even the decency to assume the virtue which he has dot, and who stalks about with his price branded upon his brow, is surely not edtitled to a seat among gentlemen of honor and truth. My frankness will not disturb his equanimity, for his hide is as thick as his feelings are obtuse. . The Response of Maine. The Kennebec Journal, a well known Whig paper edited by Hon. Luther Severance, late member of Congress, and a member of the recent National Convention, comes to the support of General Taylor with a hearty good will. In the course of a long and able article the Journal says: "Gen. Taylor is a man of good personal character. He is upright, exemplary and amiable, modest and unobtrusive. His inteeritv has never been impeached. He is loved like a brother by all who have ever served under him. While other officers of the army have had their squabbles lor precedence, and maligned each others' reputation, none ofthem have said aught against, not one has opened his monlh against "Old Zack." He has always been regarded by all as a single hearted and honest man, who had no jealousy of anybody no enemies but those of his country, a'nd no malice even agaiust them. In short he seems to have in an eminent degree that peculiar simplicity and cast of character which almost instinctively attaches masses of men as with hooks of steel; a thing to be perceived and felt, far bet' ter than to be reasoned about or explained. We are well assured, indeed we have seen a private letter from him to that effect, that if elected, he shall bring into the cabinet the ablest men in the nation to aid by their counsels; he will strive to correct "abuses, to preserve jjace,andto promote the prosperity of this great republic. This will be the object of his ambition. He has no dreams of conquest, but believes in the truly democratic doctrine that the people of all countries should be left to manage theiraffairs without interference from abroad-" Steamboat Voting Straws. A vote was taken on the fine Memphis packet E. W. Stevens, on her trip up a lew days since, which resulted as follows: Gentlemen's cabin.Taylor, 52; Cass; 10; ladies' cabin; Taylor, 13, Cass, 7. Total, Taylor, 70, Cass, 17. The passengers 011 the steamer Ocean Wave, which arrived here from St.'Louis on Sunday, proposed to take a vote, but on the attempt being made not a Cass man could be found. The following is the vote on the Diadem on her recent upward trip: Taylor, 46; Cass. 21. During the last trip of the Anthony Wayne from St. Louis to Peru, the vote stood 60 lor Taylor and 1 1 for Cass. 0 the last trip of the Edward Bates down the Missouri voted: Taylor i)7, Cass 13.

From the North American & United States Gazette. . JOHN MITCHEL. The deed of infamy is done! And, England! kindling at thy shame, The soul of every free-born one Must breathe a curse upon thy name! By every heart that beats for right By every heart, whose hate is stirred, When tyrants preach their creed of might. Thy name must ever be abhorred!

The deed is done! and he who stood. With dauntless heart, to plead the cause Of freedom, and his country's good, Is crushed beneath a tyrant's laws! Transported from his follow men, A convict. 'er the rugged main; IIs hand that wtiilome grasped the pen, Now fettered with the f elon's cluin! And shall man thus be crushed to earth Shall all his riglits he swept'away, For merely daring to give birth To his own thoughts, and to obey The voice which bids him to be free The voice of nature and of God? Must he for this a martyr be, And scourged beneath oppression's rod? No! from a million spirits yet The shout of triumph will be sent. As they, in mighty phalanx met, Shall bid the captive's bonds be rent, And swear, that, while one pulse remains While ljte one thob of strength affords, Man shall not thus be found in chains For uttering a Patriot's words! E. M. II. fTom the Baltirnorc Sun. Revolting Spectacle A New York Ikci dent. The mayor of New York sent to the as sistant alderman on Monday a communication relative to twentv-eieht dead bodies which had been accumulated at the dead-house, foot of Twenty-sixth st., East river, from Wednes day ot last week, and winch the superjnten dent of the alms-house, Mr. Eels, had neglect ed to remove notwithstanding repeated re quests from Mr. Leonard and Dr. Reese, the alms-house commissioner and physician. The mayor furnishes the following narrative of a visit to the spot: "There were same fifteen or more coffins lying outside of the building, exposed to the ac tion of the burning sun the bodies contained in them were in a state of loathsome putre faction, and many of them had swollen and burst the coffins, presenting a revolting spec tacle, while from others blood was freely ooz ing. Among the corpses so exposed were some of prisoners who had died of the small pox, and the stench arising from them was ab solutelv intolerable. I made an effort to en ter the dead house, in person, for the purpose of examining the condition of the bodies with in, but so dreadful was the effluvia I found i utterly impossible. I was, however, assured bv those who had entered, that the condition of the corpses there was quite as bad as that of those on the outside, The whole matter was referred to a special committee. A Lady's Opinion of Gen. Tavlor. We are permitted says the Albany Evening Journal to copy the following paragraph in a letter quite recently received by her parents, from a young lady at present residing in Iberville, La., The letter is dated May 28, since which time the patriotic young writer's hopes have been realized as far as the nomination of Gen. Taylor by th Whig National Convention goes. And now if the ladies should take the gallant hero's cause in hand, Cass's cake would be dougher than the proverb provides. The following is the passage alluded to : "Gen. Taylor has been spending a few days here, visiting and riding with different gentlemen on the coast, and is creating quite an excitement among the Ladi'.a in particular. If the ladies could vote I think he would be our next President. He is perfectly unostentatious, sociable and very agreeable in his conversation. I am glad, dear father, to tell you that most gentlemen here are strong Whigs, and Taylor Whigs, too, I hope. I do sincerely wish that Gen. Taylor might be elected, and s?e, then, if msre party men and measures cannot be done away with, and men chosen to fill high political stations who have a strict regard for justice, and such a strong desire for the prosperity of the country at large that party measures may be forgotteu. Could we but have E-uch men to 'rule over us,' onr Nation might well boast of being a happy one. Don't yqu think lam getting engaged in politics?" Passagf. of Tiip Post Office Bill.

MEXICAN CORRESPONpENCE. CORRESPONDENCE OF TltE CRESCENT.

CiTy of Mexico, Monday night, June 5. Eds. Crescent In my last 1 stated that I would remain here until the flig was taken down; but I now think I will leave in the morning or to-morrow and leave it, loo. fluttering from the fl ig stafl, because the old division of Gen. Twiga? a division which I have been with ever since it leli Monteiey will then depart. An order had previous Iv been issued to surrender the city to-mor-mornitig: hut the Commissioners who was to receive it has not aimed, mid the brigade 1 Col Clark has tome" in from Tacdma, and will releive those with whom I qo. Gen. Butler and Col. Sevier have like wise postponed their departure until Thursdsy or Friday, and I do not now think' that all hands will have marched before Saturday. To d.iy the QunrU rmaster wished to turn over to the Mexicans a miljion aud half of dollar?, hut there was no one to receive it The City Government is very backward in assuming the entire reins of Government, now that the Americans are leaving, and this lukewarmness on their part the citizens attribute to fear; and they, loo, aie liist partaking of it. New fastenings are being put to ihe already prison-like street door?, and every lliing.betokens a clewjng up prep into ry to the storm. The Puros hold up their head high in the air, and smile when they pass a Moderado or Government man, as much as to say, "Your Yankee prolectotsare going, and we will now have our day!" The best informed men of both parties beleve there will soon be a collision of some sort, and even now the rumor u current that there has been serious disturbance in Queretaro. Now (8 p M,) the streets are uttoily aban doned, and the public houses of resort,which have recently been thionged to a late hour, are closed up, for reason that the Americans or greater part ofthem, have left, and t he natives, whom llioir presence embolden to be out at all hours, are confined to their houses by fear. One who docs not see cannot pos sibly realize the change which a day or two ha9 brought. over Mexico. Our leaving is more sorrowful to the than was our entrance. Mexicans generally To-day a quantity of surplus Government property was sold by ihe Quartermaster, some of which realized more than when new at home. June G. 7 a. m. The rumors of a revolu tion, and a successful one, too, in Qtieretaro, are in every body's mouth this morning, but I cannot trace them, to any souice thai would warrant tne in sending them to you in any reliable shape. General Kearny left nt 4 o'clock, and lie small" party who are waiting for me are in llie saddle. Ample arrangements have been made by me to keep you well posted in news from this city. ' " I'll write from Puclla. -A Dios ! Chaparral. Perote, June 12, 18 IS. I have just arrived al this place, from Puebla, where my last was dated, and, although I have picked up- little on the road tint will interest you, I write a few lines. Perote 1 find almost deserted at least, I s inferred from the few houses whose doors were open and it was the first that I failed to get a lodging and feed for my horse in a Mexican house j but as the Yankees are pass ing out of the country, policy may dictate a reserved course on their part, and I forgive them. As fatigued as I was w'nh the ride from Ojo de Agtia.I staried off from the plaza in the direction of Jalapi, in the hope ol ovettaking some troops at La Olla, but before 1 had got out of the street in which! had started, my eyes fell on the familiar American sign, " United States Hotel,'1'' and dis mounting before its door, I was welcomed by a similar hosiess a Mrs. Paxson McDjwell. This woman, notwithstanding there are no troops in the place, has set tip here, "Tor (he double purpose of accommodating the "outsideis"' of the army and putting dimes in her pocket. She deserves support in her temporary occupation, and if every Ameri can is as hard run for a resting place , as I was, when he passes through Perote, she will be sure f patronage a3 long as the armv is cn route to this place, ' There is probably no place in Mexico so disagieable as this Perote. It is the fourth time I have been here, and t never saw the sun during either. It was cither raining. snowing or sleeting, on the other occasions of my presence, and now there is such a heavy fog overhanging the place that you cannot see ten feet ahead of you. What must have been the feelings of those of our countrymen who were so long confined in the Casile here? Well may it be .called the 'cold, dreary Casile of Perote." Speaking of the Casile, there are many of our returning soldiers who would like to . blow it up, for the suffering that has been endured within its walls. It is the B istile of Mexico,and no one can look upon the mass of human bones bleaching upon the ground in the yard of execution but will admit that both civilization and humanity demand - its demolition tinlois, indeed, the piosent move in progression shall be a stable one with this people. Ii is useless for me to wtite you anything I pick up 011 the road from the city of Mexico,for the airangements i made for you before leaving must place you in possession of news in advance of what I can receive whilst en route. The 9th Infantry, who have been for th? last five months at Pachuca, and who took the roul down over ihe Lianos de Apaur, leaving Mexico on the left, entered the National road last night at Tepcyahuale;', and are now encamped seven miles below this place, with the view of entering Jalapa tomorrow. Major Morris, commanding the brigade composed of the 1st and 3d Infantry, 1st Artillery, Taylor's U ittery and Sibley's company of 2d Dragoons, encamps to night at Tepeyahualea. Col. Riley's Brigade of 'he 2d and 7th Mounted Rifles and Walker's Mounted company is one day behind Morris, and will sleep to night at Ojode Agua. Gen Kearney, commanding the" Division in the absence of Gen. Smith, isto-night at the hacienda of San Antonio, three leagues from the place. Capt. Allen, A.Q. M., having in charge a small train and a lot of silver, slopped at Puebla, on the St h to recruit his train, and left there yesleiday inorniug.. " Gen. Butler and staff, wilh Mr. Sevier, had not left Mexico on the 9th, but are cer i

tainly on the road now, as Garland's brigade,

the last to leave Mexico, took up the hue ol march this morning if, indeed, they did not leave on Saturday. .The roads we find very bad, hating been cat up into deep holes by the trains that have preceded us, and if the wet weather continues, the rear wagons will have hard woik to get over the steep and slippery hill-: between this and Jalapa. A dragoon was killed at Ojo de Agua last night, and ?overaI suspicious Mexican, one of whem bad some of his property were also killed. There is scarce an encampment between this and Mexico where two or three new graves are not seen. Removing the sick, ns each Division does with ii, the change of cli mate is very disastrous. ' I last a Jalapa Chaparral! Letter not received Eds. Crescent. 1 Jalapa, June 12, 1843. ' I have just arrived in ihe diligence from Perote, and find Jalapa full as lively as it was a short time alter the battle ofCerro Gordo. Although there are few troops encamped in the ciiy, they are so near that the officers are mostly in. 1 here 13 not a house of enter laitiment that is not crowded. The road from Pero'.e down is bad in the ex'rem', and the rear division will have hard woik to get oyer it. PJot only our own wag ons hnye cut it up, but the large Mexican ones passing over the places where the pave ment has been broken, make, by their great weight, the holes deeper and deeper as eacl one passes, and I believe that there is not a mile of the whole road over which merchan dize is not now passing up, both in wagons and on pack mules. The divisions of Gens. Patterson and Mar shal are encamped at Encorro, near Julapa and at the factory, three miles beyond the Ten Regiments, or such part of them as are on this line. Gen.

GEN. CASS AND THE WILMOT PRO VISO. The following in an extra from the telling speech of Mr. Rathbun al the Birnburners' Convention held some time since at N. Y. It is a "marcher." Mr. President. The venerable Senator from A'richigan,. once an ardent advocate of Jeffersonian Ordnance of 17S7, has discov ered some new light, and 1 understand has lecently written a letter to Tcnncsseo, in which he avows himself the advocate of slavery extension. This is a sudden and radical changein theviewsof that distinguished Senator on that question, and I propose to enquire briefly into the views and feelings of that Senator in the month of August, 1S40; I learned them from his own lips, on the day that Congress adjourned, and at the lime that Senator D ivis, of Massachusetts, spoke iipto the adjournment of the Senate on ihe Wihnot Proviso. I met the Senator at the Railroad depot in Washington, and rode near to him and conversed freely with him between thai place and Briiiinore. The Senator appeared somewhat excited, spike fieely and with a great deal of energy on ihe subject of the "Proviso." He slated tome, that "every northern democratic Senator had agreed to vole for it, and that for Mr. Davis' speech, would have voted for it, be fore the adjournment." 1 expressed as much regret as he did, but not precisely for the same reason. desired the rccord-c the popular applause." He said he never regret ted anything more than the failuie to record ihe votes of Senators. Indeed, sir, this was the principal topic of conversation al Balti more. This, Mr. President, continued io be his language all ihe way to Michigan, as I understand. When we met again at the cap ital, I thought I discovered some symptoms of that change in the Sena'or's viewV on the subject of the Proviso, which was since, by his vote and. letter, I een so clearly do monstrated. Mr. BrinkerholT, of Ohio, one of the ablest and firmest .supporters of the Proviso, and sincere democrat, I know was a warm friend of 1 lie Michigan Sena 1 or, and prefer him to all others as the candidate foi for the Presidency in 1848." 1 meniioned 10 hirn my suspicions. I told him the Sen ator was in the crysalis state, and that in my opinion he was preparing to deserfj to turn traitor to the north, to freedom and to become a soldier under the black banner of Aggressive Slavery. Mr. Briukerhoff denied, disbelieved, i-nd thought I was doing injustice to the Senator, invited me to go with and call ou the Senator, and I would be satisfied 1 was mistaken. I expressed my willingness to go wilh him at any time, and assured hirn of the great pleasure it would afford me to find nr. self mistaken on this point. Mr. President, at the suggestion of Mr. B. we proceeded at once to the room of the Senator. We found him somewhat busy in his preparation to go out. Mr. B. led off in some remarks about the Proviso and its prospects--the bustle increased a little. Senator "thought it premature better given it the go by this sessiou, nothing to be gained by passing it now- sufficient for the day is the evil thereof." I wag anxious to bring ihe thing to some point, and for that

purpose remarked to the Senator that there

were important reasons lor pressing tne question to n vote in both branches, which probably had not occurred to mm, ana mey were these the South had usually carried heir points anainst the North upon all ques tions: that when necessary they had always found dishonest men in both branches ol Congress, who would sellout and enable them to succeed; that the same state 0! thingi still existed that there were men enough in the nmket to defeat 1 he Proviso, and that it would be deleated; that we should be betrayed as we always had been, but that the defeat would be harmless: nothing would be settled by it, -the question would remain open, and the people who had dishonest representatives here whose rights would be bartered and bet:ayed, would have lime to get rid ol the trai tors and send honest men in their places, be fore the final settlement of the question, and thus we were to be saved. The Senator re plied, "Ob, if come to the vote, I am wilh you, you know." "Of course you are," was the reply, and thus we separated. 1 his con vetsation was some thiee weeks previous to the vote taken on ihe Proviso. But, Mr. President, this is not all I have to say of the Senator from Michigan and his marvellous change. About two weeks pre vious to the vote which was taken on the Proviso, I met in the streets of Washington a gentleman of distinction from one of the slave Slates, now a Senator in Congress, who enquired of me what 1 thought of Gen. Css? Mv reply was, very little. "Will he do as he agrees?'' he asked. 1 answered him that, that deponded, in my opinion, altogether upon the consideration-" Well,"sai( ho, "if he should ptomise to vote against the Proviso upon the ground that the South are to support him as a candidate for the Presidency, do you believe he will do it?" I told him there was no doubt about it; upon that consideration he was as sure as death, and I thought he might, if he wished, throw iii the hanging of a lew northern mm in addition. Mr. President, I do not undertake to say here that Mr. Cass made a bargain or the bargain which I have just referred to. I cun only say that the gentleman who ' informed me of the fact, is a man of honor and unquestionable veracity, lie was not party to the bargain but simply gave it his assent, providing the General fulfilled it on his part, which he has since done to the let ter. Mr. President, I havo not seen the Senator's Tennessee letter, I do not know its contents, except upon information. I am told he says in that letter, that he thinks he seep, and really feels a change going on in the Free Slates against the ordnance of freedom, and in fa vor of the extension of slave ry. It is said that the change in the Senator is so complete, that he avows his readiness in that letter to veto, if he should be President, the Oidinance of 1787, an ordinance drawn by Jefferson, voted for by every membets of Congress except one, and which gave the Slate of Michigan univeis il freedom and will ultimately make her one of ihe great States of the Union. Such a man is unworihy the confidence or support of any democtat. No honest man, of any party, can vote for him. He is worthy of his party in his Stale and llicyol h m. lie is the embodi rnent and true exponent of the principles of Edwin Croswell s Convention. His tiomtn niton iy any party wouiu oeteat 11 in tins State, by more than one hundred thousand votes. Woman. A gallant contemporary thinks that this world would hardly be worth living in, were it deprived of woman. Listen lo his ihapsody: ''Who would remain in n gar den from which ihe flowers have been taken or in a grove from which the birds have departed, or beneath a sky lhat (he sweet stars had forsaken? Let cynics prattle as they may,our existence here without the presence of the other sex would be only a dark aud cheerless void. The light, tho smiles and affections of woman are the bow of beauty and promise which, spans the life of man fiom his cradle to his grave." l,i'.

GREAT FEMALE MEDICINE. Dr. Townsend's Sarsapariixa h a sovereign and speedy cure tor incipient consumption, and tor the general prostration of tho system no matter whether the result of inherent cause or causes, produced by irregularity, illness or accident.. ' Nothing can be more surprising than its invigorating effects on the human frame. Persons all weakness and lassitude, from taking it nt once become robust and full of enenrv under its inftiipnrp It immp. diaiely counteracts the nervelessness of the female frame, which is tho great cause of barrenness. " It will not be expected of us, in cases of so delicate a nature, to exhibit certificates ot cures performed, but we can assure tne ainicieu mat nunureus ot case hnve leen reported tcus. Dr. Townsexp: My wife being greatly distressed by weakness and general debility, and suffer ine conuiiuuiiy uy pumuiiu wiui oiner uuncumes, ona naving known cases where your medicine has effected great cures; and also hearing it recommended for such cases as 1 have described. I obtained a bottle of your Extract of Sarsaparilla and followed the directions you gave nie. In a short period it removed her com plaints nnd restored her to health. Being grateful for the benefits she received, I take pleasure in thus ac knowledginz it, nnd recommending it to the public M. D. MOORE, cor. of Grand and Lvdiussts. - Albany, Aug. 17, 1844 This Extract of Sarsaparilla hatt been expressly prepared in referenoce to female complaints. No-female who has reason to suppose she is npproaching that critical period, "the turn of'lile,' should neglect to take it, as it is a certain preventive for any of th numerous and horrible diseases to which females ai( subject at this time of life. This period may lie delayed for several years by using thiscmcdicino. Koi is it less valuable for those who are rpproacliing womanhood, it is calculated to assist nature by quickening the blood and invigorating the nystcni. Indeed this medecine is invaluable for all the diseases to which women are subject. It braces the whole system, renews permanently tha natural energies by removing the impurities ol the body not so far stimulating ihe system as to produce a subsequent relaxation, which is the case of most medicines tcken for lensale weakness and disease. disease of the heart, rupture and York, July, 22, 184C. Dr. Towssekd Dear Sir : My wife has been afflicted with a terrible rapture for over fifteen years the greater pait of the time. She has been troubled with shortness of breath & great fluttering ol the hear, which has been very distressing, and has frequently been uuable to leave her bed. The rupture was very large and severe. She tried almost every remedy for such cases with but little benefit. When she had taken but three bottles of your excellent medicine she was entirely relieved of the disease of the heart, and the rupture has almost entirely disappeared. She has also had the dropsy, and was very much swollen. We had no idea that she could be so bencfitfcd, os she had such a complication of diseases Bit it has, as strange as it may appear, relieved her or the dropsy. 1 am aware that this statement is so strange as to appear almost like fiction, but it is sober reality. Your Sarsaparilla is certainly a valuable medicine, and should be used by every one that s suffering as we have been. If any disbelieve this account, they are at liberty to call at my house and have ocular demonstration. Yours, respectfully, WILLI AM TOWSER, 1 Jamos st. ; ; DYSPEPSIA. ; : No fluid or medicine has vver been discovered which so nearly resembles the gastric juiceor saliva in decomposing food and strengthening the organs of digestion as this preparation ol Sarsaparilla. It positively cures every case of dyspepsia, however severe or chronic. Bank Department, Albany, May 10, 1845, Dr. Townsenp -Sir : I hare been afflicted for several years with dyspepsia in its worst form, attended with sourness of stomach, loss of appetite, extreme heartburn, and a great aversion to all kinds of food, and for weeks (what 1 could eat) I have been unable to retain but a small portion on my stomach. I tried the usual remedies, but theyhad little or no effect in removing the complaint. I was induced, about two months since, to try your extractof Sarsaparilla, and 1 must say with little confidence; but after using nearly two bottles,! found my appetite restored and the heartburn entirely removed; and 1 would earnestly recommend the use of it to those who have been afflicted as I have been, Yours, &.c.
