I feci it my duty to acknowied ;e the eieat lu .
nefit | have derived fi oni ’he use of De In Mon |
teiat’s Columbian Vegetable Specific. 1 do not
like to speak ol the medicine in the exalted
terms in which I estimate it, I will therefore, as
briefly as possible, give a history of my own
situation, with the effects produced by this valu- j
able medicine. I have been for the last five or !
six years laboring under a pulmonary eonsump
lion, pionounced to be such by the attending
physician, dining which time I have consulted
many physicians, taken much medicine, but al
to but little purpose. The 12th of March, J828,
I puked blood for the first time, and continued
so to do for several days in succession, and on
ihe Hill of the same mouth whs confined to my
lied, where I lay for two months until I wa*; in
duced to such a state of debility that my fiiemhs
began to despair of my recovery. 1 had made
■i-c also of all the popular remedies without be
nefit, and having accidentally heard -I tins Spe
cific. I determined to give it a trial, anticipating
from the use of it no belter result than had at
tended the use of all the remedies I had taken ;
but in thi» I was happily disappointed. At my
very lowest state 1 commenced the u.-e of this
Spv* ific, 1 took the first doce at night in a little
herb tea sweetened, which threw me in a gentle
perspiiation ami procured forme a pood mg t -
i • *i. 1 continued to take the medicine as direc
ted, and in about five days my cough whs com
pletely stopped Mini have not had any return
-ince. I am now perfectly satisfied ot the su
perior quality of this specific over every other
medicine offered for the cure of the above dis
ease. You are at liberty to use this letter as
you think proper.
Yours respectfully,
Signed, JOHN R. ELLICOT

TRF.ATMKNT OF H0RSK3.
By an Officer of the french Cat airy.
!» isowing lo the domestication of the horse
by Iha< he is reduced to change •'•tally i
his habitual nourishment ; for in a sn,tr of na- j
t'pie. grei-n vegetables are the only aliment
which suit him. This truth is so evident that a I
horse cannot he preserved in u perf; rt stale of
health without recourse "• his primeiva food—
to wit green plants Notwithstanding, it will
not soil all horses indiscriminately, and regard
should he had to their age. Old horses, it can
not hut weaken instead of restoring their \
strength. In this stage of life, the organs lend ,
piugiessively to decrease and decay—they fail j
then lot w ant of tone. It is then certain, if we
expose these animals to a change of food which
will only produce weakness, inconveniences
will result. In place of being gently purged
the horse wilt have a dial rl rea of more or less
continuance, which can only he cured by put
ting him on dry food.
As to young horses green food is very bene
ficial ; it begins immediately to purge them
tenlly and augments all Ihe secretions; the
in ire, which before w .« thick, soon becomes
limpid : it is by this regimen the blood is re
newed. F.ven the direction of tbe limbs can be
restored in a borte over used, and it may be
asserted that this is the best method of restoring
him. It must not be thought, however, that a
horse thus restored can be compared to a sound
one ; but it is possible he may be mistaken for
Ol,*'"rom the effect ofgreen food, horses are cu
red of many diseases, such as the farcy and
danders, paiticularly where they have not ta
ken much consistence. It should, however, he
observed that horses disposed naturally to hu
mors should he excepted.
tireen food can he given in two ways : turn
ing the horse in tbe meadow, and tHkmg tbe
food newly cut to the stable.
Kaclimodeliasitscmivenienc.es and disad
vantages. In the first, the horse left In himself
or shut in an enclosure, m even tied lo a pick,
et, with a long rope, spoils much grass in walk
in*, running, nr urinating on it. Notwith
standing, all these disadvantages ire nothing to
the happy • fleets n hatjon him f I urned out in a
mead w, the horse takes exercise; (he seme
tions ara better made, the di^e^tinn m better, he
is gay, lively and playful, from tin pleasure tie
derives in finding himself in his natural state
t his freedom has g r*t influence on his resm
ration, lie hat no occasion to he groomed by
the hand of man, he tul » and frees him sell''from
the dirt that may incommode him by rubbing
■gainst a tree. The nun wets and deans him :
it is not to tje feared that a soppit wsiiui ot per
spiration will occasion ilbe ss, because he is
constantly •«',n:i«e»l, and preserves thereby a
degree of temperature suitable tn him. Me can
be stabled at night, when a little giats should
by given lum mixed with dry fo >d in the pas
tore, he chooses the plants most appetitirtg,
which dispose him to easy digestion—while in
the stable lie is deprived el Ibis advantage, the
most salutaiy of the plant** escaping (tie scythe
by their lowliest* The gr-m food shoub! he car

at once j it hears, conn ads ;t Imd sir t. A* *tis
gusts the animat. <>r» at care should be t.tk* n
in this particular. when it is judged necessary
to feed with green fool in the stable ; and in
ibis casr, »t may be haul, the rye of the master
fattens the blasts.
While a horse is at grass, ho should lie
properly treated, and regularly groomed, as
when in the stall. The contrary method is
most absurd, if the cutaneous transpiration be
necessary at all times, how can it be doubted
that it is more so while In* has greater earn i*e ?
I his point can • U be too much insisted cm.
Mnnv prisons do not water horses dm iug this
time ; thin is .»*»t vary judieio is. to* although
nourished bv acpieo'is subt-tunce*, it i** uecetsa*

ftrrrAibio.'S which we have mentioned. Ax to
saiiifrvn, trefoil and oats they* agu e perfectly
will) nones aud produce, without cure, the
most happy effects.
Situa ions a little elevated should he selected
for grazing. Some poi sons pretend that l<»w
inradovvs are be«t because they contain aqua*
i oat plants, which purge more promptly; but
•re reply that they exist also in high meadows,
which have besides, the great advantage ot not
containing any venomous plants which abound
in the others.
|{rfoie grass is cu* the dew should be absorb

temperaments.and the particular dispositions
of the iinirnaK while on tins new regimen
I’hey should i ot, therefore, he taken from grass
all a» the same time. T he only rule to be re
garded ill this case is to wait till the horse he
icxtored. The mofcf proper season is from the
beginning of May to the end of June ; then hor
ses desire moit ardently the ( haugo of food,
and this indication perhaps is the Hue rule to
determine the fit time ; the p'ants are tl»*n in
flower, ar**sweet, and e.untaiu all the principles
proper to refr*sll and renew the horse Later,
a# the grass approaches to se« d, it luxes innny
of it# princijial virtues.
When a hsrse taken from grn^s care should

The sudden (han^e from a food ol a nature so
different, s«e|»« so c*mtiHiy to animal econo
inv, that hones from the transition are tak'-u
with dierrhojls, which destroy tlm heinfr^
they have derived from grassing : they tall ofl
visibly, and s#on relapse lo the state in which j
thev were before Green food should he mis ^

or taken front it- It »« only by degree# that
this change of nourishment xhou d op ra'c ; foi
nature is an eneinv to eilrem •#. and they ouglii
as much n- possible lie avoided.
Green food, in iacreas og the blood, tends t
111 »ke ti e honr pie boric ; tlieseasmi besides co
incides with this diathesis; in this case many
persons bleed, but in place of desitoyiug Hie
evil. If aiigmesth on the contrary, the dominion
of the blood. Thus bleeding should not lie re
sorted to except in rare and indispensable ru
#.>s We should guard again# bleeding a horse
that is lean and weak, for then he wants blood
-whv then take it Horn him ? Bleeding in thi
caxf* is very prejudicial.
The cleanliness of the (.table cannot be too
much recommended, jis well as ii* cxposuie
which ought to he salubrious and airy— it this
advantage cannot be enjoyed it* would be better
to put horses ii « cart house.
What should we think of the method ofleav

leg#, so that the xuly In comes covered with a
fruc w*'irh prevents cutaneous tranipnaiion

Morses a* grass do not sutler these inconve

cannot use.

used ; it is less heating than oats, and very

these climates. This lias been proved by giv

We havo now examined the principal objcc
Iions to the policy of encouraging inanufacmirs
in Virginia, not perhaps with the copiousness
that lll« subject required, but ns fully as accorde t
with the narrow limits of this journal! ami we
think we have said enough to satisfy any mind
which had not prejudged ttie question, tfirst
those objections are all invalid ; that human la
bor is as cheap or cheaper, than it is in the
countries which now supply us with manufac
tures ; that if some parts ol the requisite capi
tal are dearer with us'han with them, others
are yet cheaper ; lli.it the morul and pdlilical
evils apprehended by some (roui the es'ahlish
meut of manufactures ate cither visionary, ar
are inevitable, in any stale of things, and
would he lessened rather than aggravated by
such establishments ; and lastly, that the labor
and capital uf a country do not, at all times,
und under all circumstances, spontaneously
lake the most probable direction, but lluil,
when it first becomes advaulag- ous for n na
tion to manufacture far itselt, the agency ol
the govortiineui may he beneficially exerted
in inducing individual* lo acquire the requisite
skill and knowledge, in changing the habits,
mid overcoming prejudices of Ilia consumers
and in protecting the first undertakers against
the hostility of foreign rivals,and ruinous fluc
tuations ol trade.
These ditfic'dlies which meet ns in the thres
bold, and which have been to forcibly urged
I by the opponent* of the manufacturing policy
fin* removed, it requires little argument la
prove the hrurfiis Unit would arise from Ihe
introduction of mnnfactures among us. Kvery
one knows tlmt a country must have clothes,
furniture tools, and utensils, as well as prevu!
ions, and that us wealih consist! in llie atom
dunce of the first species of commodities, no
well as (he last. Il is evident that there are
but two ways of procuring thrle mauulactuied
articles, non, by giving i aw produce in ex.
change lor them, and the other, by fahricaiing

lias been the situation of the in iddlo states, and

lofinerty had in lirent Britain I or their princi

that their lands have fallen in pi ice, Willi their

Supposing it practicable, (as we really be
lieve it to be,) to manufacture these articles
for ourselves, in no long lime, what most bo
llieellect on the wealth and prosperity of the
sta'A ! Without indulging in any golden vis
ions ol the ill most possible opulence, we may
confidently say that the prosperity ot the stair
would be gieater, Mid W'ould rent upon a mote
solid foundation, than at aos toirnei period.
We will briefly notice the consequence* lhal
may rationally be expected.
1. The labor withdrawn from agiicullur*
to manufactures, would lessen the pteseut re
dundancy ol our staple products, and adapt
the biippiy to I lin demand by winch the price
would necessarily be I'lipiuved. Wn know
(lie effect ol a short crop of tobacco on the
pi o r of that commodity, and a w ithdraw al of w
part of the lab-nr » xpended in its cu.line would
I. vo the same elf.iM on the price. Wo might
then not make more India i corn thrill we « ould
lind a good oiaikei tor in such oi the West In
dies, as tf ill receive it, and hi Madetbi, and
perhaps not more, flu it Ilian would supply,
without g'liiting the mark t-of Cuba, hpauish
Am 111:11, and the West Indies Should the
slates south of us he aide 10 engage m 1, ami
lnctiires to Abe limited extent wo have been
c 11 i lermg then the same saluta y check
wood lake place hi i e cuiiiva ion ol coiion
it d the Maine beneficial result In the advance
ment of its price* : some persons, looking only
to die number of operatives employed m the
iiiHMutaclones, cannot conceive that Ilia a
mount of a t'l'icuhont! products could he m ile
n ily diminished by the manufacturing poll*
cy.
but those w'o are immediately employed in
Hie lain ice lion of the commodity constitute hut
a Hindi pai t of the number to w bom manufac
ture* civc eiuplo) merit. It enmprehen s also
those wtru elect the buildings ; who make* the
uni. hineiy ami tools, who transport, fust the
raw material to the iiianolactory, and then the
Ota mil art treed rornrtlodiiy to its various point
ol destination ; and lastly, thu e wlro furtifrh
these several classes *iih provision*# /nth .
way a commodity, employing a hundred persotM
in a manufactory, may employ five hundred, or
even a thousand out of it.
IN or can we e,Innate tin* fiiuoiint of Inborn
withdrawn Imm tin* cultivation of our staple
produce, liy merely reckoning the number'd
labourers irimsferred in tnniiwiiiciuriiig occu
patinas, line, tin'll' formerly luiniilied them
selves with provision*, mid fiiey must now tie
f m illed liy 'he reuimnder ot tlie agrlcu lurul
class. Thus, suppose the ininibi r transferred
to be ten thmisHiid nod that, betid* s misiag
their own provisions, they produced for maikci
five thousand hogsln nds of tobacco, as these
ten thousand laborers, must now he supplied
with provisions by otlieis, tlinre must b a yer
farther withdrawal ol the labor previously un
signed to the cultivation of tobacco, ill addition
to that employ! d in producing the live thousand
hogsheads.
Besides, the difference between (he quantity
of an article which is auffiiiitiil In glui a mar
ket, and that which will afford it an adequate
supply, is far less than might at first he suppo
sed A reduction erf the Supply liy one tenth,
would sometime* be sufficient lor lliar purpose.
A reduction by one fifth, would commonly, he
so, and we have seen that any given reduction
in the supply of out staple products, requires
a yet smaller reduction in he utimbt-r ol labo
rers transferred from agriculture to other em
ployments.
2. After the attention of dur people was once
fairly turned to manufactures, our skill in the
mechanical arts would be progressive, and
would be estended to many other operations
which are now little thought of, or are regard,
ed as beyond our reach. There are parts of
the United Stales in which anperfiiie broad
cloth is new made, in which, tw enty years
