Growth ol the Daman Bodf. Giants dec. It is cotticnottly thought that the stature of man has been about the same in •II ages rfnd some have even pretended 10 demonstrate, mathematically, the impossibility of giants Dr. Doram ob serves that, though we read of giants before tho floorf-»"Gen. v». 4th. and more plainl/ after it. Numb. xiii. 33rd,' yet it is highly probable the size of man has been the same from the creation for as to the Kephitim, Gen. 6th, the ancients differ about them, some taking them for monsters of impiety, d^ieism, tyranny, Ate. As to those in Numb. xiii. who were evidently spoken of ss men of gigantic stature, it is possible thst the fears of the spies might have added to their bulk.
Be this as it may, it is manifest that, in both these places, ginnts were spoken of as rarities and wonders of the age, "not of the fsmmon stature, and such instances weThave had in all ages. But it is not improbable that the first men were of a strength and stature superior to tho*e of mankind at present, since they lived a much longer time— fong life being commonly the effect of a strong constitution. There are many fabulous relations, such as we take that to be of Thentobocchus, who is said to have been dug up in the year 1618, ond was twenty-six feet in length. And no more real do we suppose the giants to have been, of whom old Mngnus gives an account in his fifth book such os lisrthun and Stnrchater among the men, and aitiong the women were some measuring fifty cubits in length.
But as for the more creditable relation of Goliah, whose huight was six cubits and a span, (Sam. xvii., 3J.) which according to Bishop Cumberland, is about eleven English feet of Oz, King of l!atati,(I)eui. iii., llth.) whose bed was nine cubits long and four wide of Maximus, the limpcror, who was nine feet high and others, in the reign of Augustus and other Roman Emperors, of about the same height to which mny be added the dimensions of a skeleton dug up at the place of a Roman camp, near St. Albnna, by an urn inscribed Marcus Antonius, of which on account Is given by Mr. Cheseldon, who julged, by the measurement of the botics, that the subject was nine feet high. These antique exomples and relations, we say, may bo matched, nay outdone, by modern ones, ilakewell spooks from names of porters and archers belonging to the Emperor of China, fifteen feet high, and of others from Purchas, ten and twelve Ceot high.
The existence of a race of men above the common staturo on the coast of Patagonia, it) South America, has been a| matter of disputo for the last two centuries. In our century almost all naviga-j tors, of every country, affirmed that thei were such persons, and in the next the Htory ta elucidated by the greater number. Garrilasso de la Vega, in his history of Peru, relates that, according to a tradition universally bvlieved, a number of vessols, or junks, came to St. Helena with a company of gionts on
Thoso who bear tostimony to the con trary are Winter, the Dutch Admiral, Hermite, Proper, In De Genne's narra tive, and Sir John Marlborough. Sir Francis Drake is silent with regard to tho stature of thji Patagonians but Winter positively affirms the lalsohood of those gigantic creations invented by tbe Spaniard*.
Profane histotians have given seven feet of height to Hercules, their first hero and in our day we have seen men eight feet high. A giant shown to Rouen, in 1785, measured eight feet and aome inchcs.
Tho Emperor Maximiliin was of thai eise. Goropius, a physician of the last century, saw a girl, who was ten feet high. Eugene, a Scotchman, in the tima of James 11., of Scotland, measur ed eleven feet and a-half. Chevalier Scory aaw, at the Peak of Teneriffe, in a sepulchre, the remains nf a man, who had eighty teeth, and was fifteen feet high.
Rioland, a celebrated anatomist, of !615( saw io the suburbs of St. Germain the tomb of the giant l*oret, who was twenty feet in height.
It is evident we could go any length In the way giants were it desirable to multiply instances of the extraordinary atature nature will sometimes permit a rare specimen of humanity to reach. A bishop of Paris, of the last century, claimed to have discovered a system of dietetic* by hich he could increase the height and proportion of the human body mi liHtmm* and it is said that the ytuth upon whom he experimented, and who was not over the ordinary stse of other children of the same age, commenced under tbe bishonl system at seven, aad when he arrived at the age of thirteen had reached the height of eight feet. But at this point th« bishop died, aad the secret! of his system died with him. There is nothing to lament in this baa. nature has wisely arranged mataare, and the ordinary stature of man bears, doubtless, a just proportion to the t*et of creation. Tho armor ex hi tited to the tower of London, from its great
weight, is often cited as a proof of the superior strength of our ancestors. This we take to be very defective evidence if meant to establish the fact of superior natural endowments. It only proves that the luxurious habits of the present generation are not favorable to the development of the physical powers. If more uniform system of physical education were established, we are convinced we should- meet with fewer deviations from the ordinary style of human manufacture than we do now. Independent ly, however, of systems of bodily training, climate, soil, and other extraneous causes will always exert a great influence upon the physical condition of man. The giants, as we term them of our day, are eccentricities of nature, not the result of culture or sys&m,and we strong ly suspect the giants of other days were the offsprings of the same erratic disposition on the part of our ancent dame. The measurement we get of the tombs and sepulchres of very large men is no mare evidence that there were giants in those days than the preserved clothes of the renowned Tom Thumb would be proof to generations yet unborn that the city of New Orleans, in the nineteenth century, was inhabited by a race of pig mies, although we are necessitated to admit we have a great many small men among us.—JV.

Turner, the naturalist, reports that he had seen near the river I'luts, on thej coast of Urazll, a race of giants who were stark naked, and one of whom wssj twelve feet high, but he acknowledges that he saw no other as tall. Kniv®taf-i firms that he measured several dead| bodies, which he found buried at Port Iiesire, which were from fourteen to sixteen spans high, and that he had frequently seen at Brazil one of the Pata gonians, who, though a youth, measured no less than thirteen spans, and that the English prisoners at Brazil assured him that they had seen many of the same gigantic stature on the coast of the Strait. This account is also confirmed by Sebal de Wert and Oliver de Noorte Aris Claaz, a commissary on board La Macro's fleet, declares that he found in tho sepulchre, on the coast of Patago nla, the bonas of rtten ten and twelve feo* high.

CHERRY PECTORAL
For the Cur® mf
COUGHS, COLDS, HOARSENESS, BRONCHITIS, WHOOPING-COUGH, CROUP, ASTHMA, AND
CONSUMPTION.
Mnny yrnrs of trial, instead of Impairing the public confidence in this medicine, hns won for it an npprecintion nnd notoriety by for exceeding the most snnguine expectations ol its friends.Nothing but its intrinsic virtues nnd the unmistakable benefit conferred on thousands ofsufferers, could originate and maintain the reputation it enjoys- While mnny interior remedies thrust upon the community, hnvo fniled nnd been discarded, this has gained fiiends by every tt in I, conferred benefits on the afflicted they can never forget, and produced cures too numerous and too remark able to be forgotten.
While it is a fraud on the public to pretend ihnt any one medicine will infallibly cure—still there is abundant proof that the CHERRY PECTORAL does not only as a general thing, but slmost invariably cures the maladies for which it is employed
As time makes these facts wider and belter known, this medicine has eradunlly become the ,Trom the Io
best reliance of the afflicted, cnbin of og the American Peasant, to the palaces of Europe an Kings. Throughout this entire country, in every State, city, and indeed almost every hamlet it contains, CntRsv PECTORAL is known as the best remedy extant for diseases of the Throat and Lungs, and in many foreign countries, it is coming to be extensively used by their most intelligent Physicians. In Great Britain, France and Germany, where the medical sciences have reached their highest perfection, CHERRY PECTORAL is introduced, ana in constant use in the Armies, Hospitals, Alms Houses, Public Institutions, and in domestic practice, as the surest remedy their attending Physicians can employ for the more dangerous affections of the Lungs. Also in milder cases, and for children it is salts, pleasant'and effectual to euro. In fact, aome ol the most flattering testimonials we receive have been from parents who have found it efficacious in casesparticularly incidental to childhood-
The CHERRY PECTORAL is manulinctured by a practical Chemist, and every ounce of it under his own eye, with invariable accuracy snd care, it is sealed and protected by law from counterfeits, consequently can be relied on as genuine without adulteration.
We have endeavored here to furnish the com munity with medicine of such intrinsic superiority and worth ss should commend itself to their confidence—a remedy at once sale, speedy and effectual, which this has by repeated and countless trials proved itself to be snd trust by great care in preparing it with chemical accuracy, of uniform strength to afford Physicians a new agent on which they can icly for the best results, and tbe afflicted with a remedy that will do for them all that medicine can do.

June 5th, 1852, Dr. Swayne—Dear Sir: Believing it a duty 1 owe to the public, and in justice to you, have thought pro »er to make known one of the most extraordinary cures in my own case, that has ever been truly recorded.

My breath could also pass through my lungs and out through the cavity of my breast With apparent ease, attended with a violent cough, day and night, loss •f appetito, and extreme d&bility, so that my physician thought my case entirety hopeless* and beyond the power of medicine. 1 remained in this wretched condition for a long time, until Was wasted to a mere skeleton, ana thereseerlied to be no hope for me but having read in the public pap ers oft he mnny wonderfu leu res performed by your COMPOUND SYRUP OF WILD CHERRY, 1 immediately sent to Baltimore for five bottles, and commenced its use, and to my great satisfac-

This is, without exception, the most comprehensive and intelligible work published on the class of diseases of which it tresis. Avoiding all technical tertnsv It addresses itself to the reason of its readers. It is fh* from sll ol^ectionable mat t« r, nnd no parent however fastidious, can object to placing it inKlie hands of his sons—The author has devoted many years to tbe treatment of the various complaints treated of, 'with too little breath to pufT,' and 'too little presumption to impose,' he has offered to the world st the merely nominal price of 25 tents* the fruits of so hie iwen ty years rttost successful prftcti(le."-tHKRAij).
No teacher or parent should be without the knowledge imparted in this invaluable wolk. It would save years of pain, mortification and sorrow to the youth under their charge."—PEOPLE ADVOCATE.
A Presby'erian clergyman in Ohio, in writing of "Hunter's Medical Manual," says: "Thousands upon thousands of our youth, by evil example and the influenceof thepasstons, have been led irttd the habit of self-pollution without realising the slh aha fbarfhl consequence upon themselves and their posterity. The constitutions of thousands who are rdislhg IrtmllirS haVe boeh enfeebled, if not bfoken down, and they do not know the cause or the cure. Any thing that can be done so to enlighten and influence the public mind as to check, and ultimately Io remove this wide-spread source ol human wfettfhednfss, wtiuld Cnrtfej- the {greatest blessing next to the religion of Jesus Christ, on the present and coming generations.— Intemperance, (or the use of intoxicating drinks,) hough it hns slain thousands, is not a greater scourge to the human race. Accept my ihnnks on behalf of the afflicted, and believe me, vour coworker in the good work you are so actively engaged in."
