For the Cadiu Smtintt,
THE LATE COOJV FARCE.
Ma. Editor Inasmuch as you were not pres
ent, on Thursday evening last, to witness jhe re
turn of the Cadiz Whig DelegaiiVn f oin Siou
benville, I take the l.berty to address a few lines
1ij'ou, and through you to the readers of the
Cadiz Sentinel, to lot the people throughout the
county know, something about the beauties of
Wbiggery in the town of Cadiz.
It is well known that the coons, for some time
past, have been using eveiy e3brt to get up an
excitement in polities, in order to awaken and
arouse the drooping spirits of their sinking party
vainly hoping to stir up the spirit and enthu
siasm of '40 knowing that whiggery flourishes
best when the nation is convulsed with political
agitation. Public meetings have been announ
ced by their party presses, whig stumpers impor
ted from abroad, and lies wholesale and without
number put forth to their auditors. The pas
sions and prejudices cf the people have been
appealed to, by exhibiting and making frequent
mention of the emblems of whiggery, and false
issues hard been made in regard to the great
questions of the Tariff, the Banks, and the An
nexation of Texas unsuccessfully attempting
to array the people and interests of the North
against those of the South. And who hn.s not
witnessed the pitiful scene of the Whig Band,
on the eve of a whig meeting, assembled at the
corner of the public square, playing some spright
ly airs, for the purpose of attracting a crowd,
that whiggery might thereby bo furnished with
a reasonable number of persons to carry on the
meeting? The whigs are aware that their num
bers are becoming more and more thinned at
each succeeding meeting, by desertions from
their ranks, and by the lnkcwarmuess of the
honest, thinking portion of their party to con
tribute their influence and support to elevate a
blackleg, a duellist, a traitor, a perjured, bank
bought Federalist in the person of Homy Clay,
to the Prosidencv: hence the necessity of re
sorting to such means to keep up a false show of
the zeal and enthusiasm of whiggery! After a
number of boys and some half a dozen of the
"sable sons of Congo" have been gathered out
of curiosity and anxiety to know what is going
on, the Band escorts them into the Court House,
where they ate addressed by a man called
" peel-leg Jake,'1'' alias, " that same old coon," or
somo other person who is able la con-hide his
mamma, a few death groans are offered by way
of applause, and the people are dismissed, and
the next thing that meets your eye is a long ed
itorial article in on6 of the coon sheets, purport
ing to be a description of the immense crowd
and enthusiasm of the meeting, headed with the
bold caption w Tremendous out-pouhixg of the
Whigsa real sorL-sxmREii!" And this is
the way they intend to convince the weak and
wavering of the popularity of Henry Clay!
Oh, trumpery oh, coons!
Finding their exertions of uo avail, a proposi
tion is gotten up by the young federal wiseacres
of Cadiz, to attend tbe Whig Mass Meeting at
Stoubenvillc, and that invitations be extended to
uch of the whig females as might feel disposed
to overstep tho bounds of female duty and pro
priety, to accompany them. A week's talk and
bustle preparing carriages, bauners, badges, &.c
brought them to tho hour ot starting, whxh they
did at 2 o'clock, on the morning of the 31st ult.,
Of tho immodesty and indecorum of females
coming out publicly and participating in party
politics, by speech-making, cheering from doors
and windows, and coins twenty-five miles to at
lend and mingle in a drunken coon carousal, it te
not my intention to speak, on account of the re
pect and forbearance I hold for the gentlersex;
but let the remorse ot a smitten conscience
teach thoso persons, who proposed and prevailed
on tbenj so to do, how to conduct themselves
better hereafter, - -
On the evening of tho 1st instant, (he time for
the expected return of the Cadiz Delegation, a
number of persons assembled at the coiner of
Market and bleubenville streets, to witness what
was called the "arrival of the caravan!" All!
eyes were directed to the cast, and at length ii
was announced that the Delegation was in sight
formed in procession, with flags unfurled mid
banners hoisted,
"Far off their coming shines;"
and about two dozens of boys and negroes went
forth to meet them, and escorted them into town.
As they approachod the crowd, a dark, dingy flag
was run up the poplar polo, and three cheora were
given for Clay aud Frelinghuysen. The Band
wagon was filled with about a dozen sleepy
coons, who tried to look cute as usual. Immedi
ately behind it, wag seen seated in a buggy by
the side of a female, a thine in pantaloon, with
a body and two arms, a head without brains,
Hgut boots on, a white handkerchief dangling
fom a pocket, and a whip and lines in his hands!
The sight of this extraordinary personage was
jsot moro wonderful than the fact of his safe re
turn. For, from the noise, preparation and ex
treme anxiety lobe off, manifested by him for
eonis days previous to his departure to Steuben
in consequence of being appointed leader
f4 tho Delegation by the Clay Club, it was
thought that he would not reach the Ohio river;
but that the steam would rise so high nn to col-
Jlappe a flue, an Lis physical tjpiler woull bjitit,;
and produce a spontaneous combustion of mor
tality! INcxt in the rtar followed eighteenth
nineteen carrir-ges with fligs, which looked quite
well. Several of the youne men iu these car
riages were blue badges, iu order, na doubt, to!
dlsting-iishtLeuwelves as advocates in heart and
principle of the doctrines of the blue-light, Hart
ford Convention federalists. It was thought that
a black cockake for each would have mads the
exhibition complete! At the rear end of the
proccss.ou was a two-horse wagon loaded with
about a tlozeu sickly-looking voung coons- -the
smallest cf all small fry. Thev had been se
lected for the occasion, as the choice spirits of
tne v,au;z ioon uiee viub, whose particular
office, as their name imports, was to create fun
and laughter by singing coon songs. This, I
sdouiu judge, nicy were well calculated to do at
home or abroad; for who could look upon such a
ridiculous picture as thev made in the Club was?-
on without laughing, if he felt disposed to ridi
cule, or without feelinss ol mortification and pi
ty foe the moral depravity of youth, if ho thoiisht
for a moment on their meagre, licentious and de-
Oauched appearance ? 1 hey had been exposed
to a shower of rain, during the afiernoon, which
made their clothes stick drinpiup-ly close tolhci
bodies; and from observation, one would not
doubt, that they were equally well soaked with
something stronger within! lor, as they moved
along sinning, or rather attempting to sinr
"Oh, Polk ! Polk and Dallas are a first rate yoke,"
their heads reeled ana tottered fore and aft, like
a tilt-hammer, or a young chicken dying of the
gapes
Tho procession moved down Market street to
Gimlet Hill returned passed upOhio street
crossed to Main, and moved slowlv to the cast
In tho mcant'me, the Democrats hod hoisted
their fi.g, and as the wings approach the tall, ma-
jestic young hickory, the Democratic flig it bore
atoli, waved proudly and triumphantly m the gen
tie breeze of even. The piocessiun on reach
iigthe little poplar pole a second time, slacked
tackle, and drew up at tue corner of the public
squaie in front of the Court House, where they
were addressed from the stone wall by John A
B ngham. His remarks were principally inten
ded to operate against the Cadiz Sentinel, which
he said " was controlled by a band of black
guards." Now, it is an old maxim that " dirty
sayings always come from dirty persons," and
such a person as his hard phtases depicted out,
I should have judged him to be, even hud I not
known him to be. branded as a base, licentious
blackguard before. It was thought by many he
was robbing himself of hard names, and making
a dreadful sacrifice of well earned titles! Won
der if this Johnny A. is tho same truckling tool,
who, in the fall of 1842, was threatened to be
made tho object or centre of attraction for a
largo portion of" rotten eggs with dead chickens
in 'em," for blackguarding the citizens of New
Philadelphia? Wonder if this is the same John
ny A., who was promised a free passage out of!
town on a rail, by the citizens of Dover, for a
like offence, and only prevented their putting the
threat into execution, by changing his wherea
bouts in time to save his bacon? Wonder if this
is tha same Johnny A., who, in political debate
at Port Washington, last fall, writhed, frothed
and foamed, like a fiend from Pluto's darkest re
gions, in consequence of being flayed alive by
Jamss Matthews the Congressional Representa
tive of that District? Mr. Bingham, having lost
all the confidence and respect of the people of'!
J uscarawas county, returns to Harrison, to vom
it forth his federal slang to the citizens of Cadiz.
Would it not be well for Johnny A. to take ar
other six-day trip to the State of Maryland, be
fore tho fill election, and stump it for the coons
by passing himself offas'ihe "Buckeye stage
driver!n Surely if the example of Boar, the
" Buckeye Blacksmith," was worthy of imitation
in 18-10, it is worthy of further imitation now!
Afier Mr. Bingham closed, the crowd disper
sed, each coon, no doubt, returning to his own
fireside with feelings of mortification and regret,
at the foolish trip and display they had made.
Thus closed tho scene sic transit gloria whig-
gery!

J. 4. Bingham's Monodraiuatic Farce
indescribable.
Wc have seen repeated notices in somo of our
eastern papers, of the gravity with which Henry
Placido when he nets Bumbastcs Ftirioso hangs
his boots upon the tree in token of defiance to all
the world, as a thing infinitely amusing. It is said
he performs the solemn foolery of the scene,
with an air of mock heroism that vastly increa
ses its effect upon the tisible muscles of his au
dience. But in whatever esteem Placide may
heretofore have been held, as tho best actor of
such parts on tho stage, he issurely far surpassed
by cue who has recently appeared on another
theatre, in our immediate vicinity. The Bom
bastes of Placide, we think, would certainly sink
into tameness if compared with tho Bombasts of
John A. Bingham, Lsq. .
All who relish the superlative in burlesque
ought to witness this gentleman's noxt appearance
on the stone wall before our court house. Should
he a second timo be called upon to address "a
masculine feminine or femeniiie masculine"
traveling whig Fandango, under what Carlyle
would in his moro graphic language term full
'fan furonade." '
Tho performance referred to took place last
Thursday evening before a pretty considerable
audience, who testified their opprobatioii in all
tho usual modes tf thealrick and whig applause.
We do not know precisely what to term the
entertainment, whether tragedy, comedy or his
tory, pastoral, pastoral-comical, historical-comical
historical-pastoral, tragical-historical, tragical
comical, comical-historical, scene indivisible, or
poem unlimited. 1 nere is no designation in any
catalogue, that wo havo ever seen, that will ex
actly meet this curious monoconiick-drama: and
therefore, we name it tho "inonodramatw farce
indescribable. It is lo be regretted, that it
could not have been so devised, as to have affor
ded a part to somo others, that have since mani
fested an over-weening anxiety to figure, that
were then compelled to play the mutes and au
dience to the swelling act. If the pieco could
have been moulded somewhat after the fashion
of CoIUds's "ode on the passions,'" there was nn
old Gentleman of the Town, that then through
two days fretting and chafing was eminently qual
ified to personate Anger, as there are few who
can blow a blast "so loud and so dread" on the
war denouncing trumpet. But no far as any thing
or this passion manifested . itself right out, Mr.
Mathews F. Mallernee,'.my Landlord in specks,
was equally qualified and could have doubled
and performed capitally both Anger and Revenge.
His "eyes o fire" and "withering looks," with
occasional sputterings merited some praise even
as it was. 1 he piece however was evidently got
up in haste, and was so arranged as to admit of
but one prominent actor. It was cast in the form
of a monologue or one speech, entrusting tho
whole performance to John A. Bingham, Esq.,
in the character known to the legal profession as
the communis rixatrix, in which she frenzied with
anger and in her rage, breaks forth in railing a
gainst some of the boys tor having taken some
unjiiijiifialilo privileges with her daughters'
And' -
the piacA was must fitly selected of all in Town
for representing the grand mock-he roicul, tragical-comical,
Bombast ical, Farce indescribable.
In order to get a Lint idea of the scene, let it
be understood that the "Cadiz Whig Baud," with
a considerable retinue of young men and young
women iu some, twenty buggies, with a flay
floating in the breeze" from each one, after two
day's absence, ell the way to Steubenville and
back, with the flying colors in furtherance ol
the glorious cause, the promotion ol their "Har
ry" are about making their debut into town.
The B ind lead, fan-taronading and piping to
pace and time, while the rear is driven up by a
two horse coal waggon in the bed of which are
seated some dozen of boys; which they denomi
nated a choir of angers, hoarsely cbaunting in
sorry concordance the most lugubrious doggeral.
Having cut a circle around a square of the town.
they were rounded near the ''poplar pole,"
and immediately adjacent the stone wall some
thiiiff after the manner of the 'grand entry
of a Circus, though coutrary to custom in this the
Clown camo foremost. Take note: This part
of the grand display was under the immediate
command of my Landlord in specks, whose mtre
pid d aring would have won him imperishable
honors in days of Chivalry. Sancho's lilt at the
wind mills was no touch to his! Suddenly una
voce they vociferate Bingham! Bingham! Bing
ham! He soon takes tho stand, all female eyes
arc turned eviucirg as they peer out on him the
thought, "we ate now to receive in living lan
guage in symphonious strains and s lverftones the
golden thanks and heart felt gratitude rarely ex
pressed; for the loan of our countenances and
out ten thousand smiles that have sweaicncd the
labours in the "glorious cause." But astonishment
soon pervades all. Ho beg'nsaud for the period
of half an hour strained to the key of the Bom

aud in your absence has been busily inditing li s
umpire strains in derogation ot your unblcimsli
cd characters. Some invidious wretch the incar-
nation of the twain while you were away on your
labours has endeavored to aspeise your tan
fame and the fairest act of your lives. The ma
king1 aud presenting of vender flag to the gallant
Bind by calling it a 'fl.msey gift, a bold adven

letter S. No doubt it was the initial letter of his
real name
About ibis lime the Ladies looked somewhat
frightened, and scemod as though they thought
their lepulations were sullied and some of them
locked at the undersigned, and appeared to be
ready to exclaim: O! Sharon! what have you
been saying about me.
But one thing was certain, it is the initial let
ter of his real character and that is Scoundrel.
So three cheers for the Ladies of Cadiz, and then
iwo cheers in the muddy groan, for Peppard am!

From the A'. O. Commercial Bulletin
Cilt EAT mtlT.VIiV AND TEXAS.
A curious correspondence has taken place, and
has been published by authority of the lexan
Government, between Captain Elliott, the Bri
tish Charge d' Afliiirs in Texas, and Hon. An
son Jones, the Texan Secretary of Slate.
Ihe concluding letter ol this correspondence
shows :
1st. The extreme anxiety of the British Gov
ernment with regard to the negotiations pending
between the United States and Texas, and its
desire to thwart them.
2d. That the influence (or authority) of the
British Government, is exercised in Mexico to
prevent a settiernont of difficulties between
Mexico and Texas, except on condition that the
latter will " give assurances" not to conseut to
bo annexed to tho United btatcs. '
3d. That every possible inducement will be
held out in Texas, and every possible obstacle
in her way, to prevent the incorporation of Tex
as into the Federal Union; aud especially that a
reconciliation will speedily bo procured between
Mexico and Texas, on a basis conformable to
British policy, if Texas can be persuaded to re
linquish the project of Annexation
4th. That the question ol Annexation is es
sentially and entirely a question between the
United States and Great Britain, and whether
American or English politics shall prevail on this
continent,
There ia one point betrayed in tl'J first, letter
of Capt. Elliott, which we were not before ac
quainted with, and which is remarkable, the
reader will recollect that tha United States, on
the solicitation of Texas, proposed to tho En
glish and French Governments, tnat the three
Governments should interpose jointly to procure
a treaty of peace and recognition ot indepen
dence between Mexico and Texas, and that En
gland declined the proposition, but immediately
''put herself forward" lo procure a settlement
on their own terms. It appears now, from Capt.
Elliott s letter to Mr. Jones, that iificr this refu
sal to unite with France and the United States,
England made her proposals to tho bolligorent
States between which she was interposing, put
her plans, as was supposed, in a proper train,
and they effected a junction with, and the co
operation jof Franco- without rcforciico to the
United States. . , - , .
Wc say nothing of tho discourtesy implied in
this extraordinary procedure. More serious con
siderations grow out of it. It indicates a fore
gone determination on the part of Great Bri
tain:
' 1st. To supplant the influences ofthe Ameri
can Government in the Stales of Mexico and
Texas,
2d, To effect a settlement of tho difficulties
between those States, on a basis that it was
known the United States Could not concur in.
3d. To stop, if possible, by a combination
of European powers, the further progress of A
merican institutions and influence ; and
4th. To introduce into this continent the Eu
ropean syslem of officious interference and in
termeddling, to the detriment of this Govern
rnent, aud coutrary to its true policy and posi
tion.

Robert L. Brent, esq... of this city. This
gentleman, of fine legal attainments, and excel
loin oratorical abilities, has recently foregone all

course of Mi. Clay, and the utterabsence of con

fraud, and introduction of new measures, have in
duced unnreiudice and proper reflection upon
the mcrils and demerits of tho two parties, and he
has, after serious and conscientious consideration
adjured the coon party . forever. The speed:
which he delivered to tho great .meeting of the
democrats ot the I hud ward, on lhursday last
was excellent, argumcntivc, and effective; and
we are told that his address at the groat harvest

The Cleveland Herald, as copied into the Jour
nal, says:
'The election for members ofthe Legislature
is very important, and should not be lost sight of
by any whig for a moment.
We have our serious doubts whether tho whole
of the whigs of our State desire their party to get
a majority in the Legislature, to fasten upon the
State tho monstrous banking projects of last win
ter, to which . they are plodgcd. The farmers
and tay payers of Ohio will stop and ponder over
the consequences of involving the State iu a debt
of millions to bank on. The holders of real es
tate do not desire it mortgaged for the benefit of
brokers and speculators. That class of men have
had their harvest of plucking the people, and
short-sighted indeed must they be, to give them
the reins again iu Ohio. Could they have suc
ceeded in humbugging the people, the banks of
Ohio would have been yet in a state of suspeu
sion, and the people paying from ten to tweuty
per cent, discount and exchanges, all, too, we
should have been told, for the want of a U. S.
Bank! Such is whiggery ! statesman.
Henry Clay an enemy to free discussion.
The whig party, in this section of the country
at all events, have ever claimed to be the exclu
sive friends and advocates of free discussion and
the right of petition. As faithful and vigilant
sentinels of tho people's rights, they have lost no
occasion to denounce any man who would attempt
to deny the people the right of free discussion,
as unfit to enjoy their confidence either through
an elevation lo office or otherwise. Yet now,
with characteristic inconsistency, they seek to el
evate just such a man to tho highest office in the
people's gift. . Hear Henry Clay7s own words:
"Discussiou implies deliberation; deliberation
is preliminary to action. The people of the North
have no right to act npon the subject of southern
slavery, and therefore THEY HAVE NO RIGHT
TO DELIBERATE, JNU 1UUUT TU UliS-

"The Dictatok." It will not bo denied, and
must be admitted by all, that Henry Clay is well
suited for a "dictator," and not at all qualified
for a servant of the people, for he has even die
tated to his followers as imperiously as a spoiled
coquette. Ho never obeyed his constituents. In
two instances ho most signally aisoDeyeu tnem.
When in Congress, he voted for Mr. Adams a-
gainst General Jackson for President. The leg
islature of his State, by a vote ol oj to '4,1, re
quested him to vote for Genoral Jackson, and
that said legislature, by a vote ot 16 to 11, de
clared that Andrew Jackson was tho choice of
the people of Kentucky.
Ho voted against the repeal of the late bank
rupt law, in direct violation of the known will of
his constituents. Truly ho is until tor a sorvant
of tho people. Arkansas Intelligencer. -General
Jackson says: "I think Polk and Dal

of the twenty-six." Very lew would be dispo

The Duellist on4 Anti-dtu'Ilist, :
Under this head the Albany Argus draws this
contrast between the associations of the coon
ticket for the presidency and vice presidency :
"Mr. Clav, by his own confession, 'sketched1
the challenge which resulted in the death cf al
ley. This identical 'sketch, Mr. Wise says, was
copied and borne by In in to Mr. Cilley. Mr.
Clay, therefore, penned, the original challenge
whxh caiied Mr. Cilley to the bloody fi eld.
"Mr. t EEU.NonvYsES denounced that act
at the time, as murder, as instigated by a murder
ous spirit, and in defence of the laws of God and
the institutions ot a Christian people!
"And yet, Mr. Frelisgiiuysen now con
sents to stand as 'second' to tbe man who insti
gated, aided, and abetted, what he denounced as
MURDER' in the 'high places and among the
law-makers ofthe land,' and which he called on
all men to wash their hands, iulike manner, or to
rest under much of the euilt of murder. In a
word, such was his abhorrenco of duelling and
duellists in 1S39, that he thought it criminal to
remain silent under the then recent exhibition of
the 'murderous spirit' at Washington.. Now he
stands associated on the same ticket with the
man who was the chief adviser and counsellor in
that 'Heaven-daring sin' and consents directly
to aid in his elevation to the highest place in the
epublic!
"But will a 'Christian people' sanction the un
natural combination? Can they be induced to
cast a vote which will count for both ihe duellist
and the anli-duclist? Will they not indignantly
spurn boih?"

The Native Americans. Of all the poplitica
parties ever established in this country, the na
live American faction is the most contemptible
and prescriptive. They would havo died before
this if the wings had not given them assistance
and encouragement: but the native Americans,
deriving their seed from the alien and sedition
laws, are backed by the whigs, and continue in
existence, a disgrace to tho broad and philanthro
pic principles ou which our free institutions are
founded. Democracy can never sancuon sucu

A Stumper and a Poker. A gentleman, now

for a whig who will cover thirty thousand dollars

in either of four ways, to try the faith of tho Clay
gentlemen who are always playing at brag, t nst
on a majority for Polk in Pennsylvania; second,
mi his majority in the general result of all the

thirty thousand dollars are offered in one sum,

The followins we have just received from Messrs. Jos-
lin at liowe, limggists, in wewarK, in tms etaie, io
whom it was communicated by John Winter, Esq., a
citizen of Burlington, Licking county. Ohio.
Burlington, Licking Co.,0., Dec. 1, 1843.
Messrs. Joslin & Rowe: At your request I herewith
transmit to you a statement of the case of Mrs. Winter
and child, bb nea'r as I am able to communicate, which
you aie nt liberty to publish if you see fit, ns I feel a
desire to inform the world of the ellects of the invalu
able medicine called Wiptar's BnUam of Wild Cherry,
to which, by the divine blessing, I am indebted Tor the
restoration to health of my wife and child.
About rive years ago Mrs. Wimer was aitacKCd
with a violent 'cough, pain in the chest and side, and
symptoms of oppronching consumption. During the
intervals from that time to sometime iu Feb. last, she
had been treated by eminent Physician from Utica,
Sylvania, Homer, Chatham, and Newark, and with
only partial relief of the most urgent symptoms. A.
bout one year ago she caught a violent cold, which
seated upon the Lungs, producing an alarming aggra
vation of all her previous symptoms. Her Physician
was cent for, and despite his best efforts, she began
rapidly to sink under her disease. Cough, Expectora
tion, Hectic, together with night sweats, soon rcdurod
her to a complete skeleton. In Feb. Inst, hor attend
ing Physician, deemed her cape altogether hopeless, a
council was called and after deliberating upon her
case, unanimously pronounced her to be beyond the
reach of means, and expressed their opinion that she
could survive but a short time, one or two weeks at far
thest. She was at this time entirely confined to her
bed, and scarcely able to articulate, except in a whis
per. Her daily paroxysms of coughing would last her
interruptedly from three to five hours, and so severe
were they, that we did expect that every paroxysm
would be the last. Tho Physicians in council, pro
nounced her Lungs, Livor, Kidneys, Spine, snd Mu
cus, Membrane of the Stomach to be incurably dis
eased. It was at this last extremity that we happened
to obtain a pamphlet describing Dr. Wistar's Balsam o
Wild Cherry, as applicable to Lung affections. We
immediately sent to you and procured a bottle, and
commencod its nee at evening by giving her one tea
spoonful, and such was the surprising effect, that she
was able to pass a comfortable night's rest, without ex
periencing any paroxysm of coughing, and such was
its ultimate effect, that after taking 5 bottles she was,
contrary to the expectations of her physicinnB, nnd eve
ry one who saw her, entirely restored to health ; and
since hist summer has done the entire work of her fam
ily. After the last attack of Mrs. Wimer, our young
est child, then an infant at the breast, was taken down
and rapidly sinking, with the same symptoms as its
mother, and seeing the happy effect ofthe Balsam in
the case of the mother, we were disposed to make trial
of it for the child, and it was attended with tho samo
perfect success.
The above statement can be attosted by our physi
cian ns well 09 our neighbors and acquaintances, who
saw Mrs. Wimor during the course of her sickness.
Very truly, yours, 4c.

The case of Thomas Cozens is rclnted by himself as
follows, and acknowledged by all who Know mm as
ono of tho most astonishing cures ever performed.
Haiio.tieli, N. J., April 20, 1843.
On nr nhont tho 13th dnv of Dec. 1811. I whs taken
with a violent pain in the side near the Liver which con
tinued lor about rive flays, and was followed Dy me
breaking of nn ulcer, or something inwardly, which
relieved the nain a little, but caused mo to throw up a
great quantity of offensive matter and also much blood.
being greatly ularmed at this, 1 applied to a physician,
but ho said he thought he could lo but little for me ex-,
cent give mo some Mercury Pills, which I refused to
take, fueling satisfied they could do me no good; many
other remedies were then procured by my wife and
friends, and none did me any eood, and the discharge
of blood and corruption still continued every fowdays,
and at last became so offensive I could scarcely brenthe.
I was also seized with a violent cough, which at timet
caused mo to raise much more blood than I had done
before, and my disease continued in this way,slill grow
ing worse until Feb. when all hope of my recovery was
given up, and my friends all thought I would die with
a galloping consumption. At this moment, wheii my
me was apparently urnwing near at a close, i nearu ot
Dr. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, and got a bottle,
which relieved me immediately, and by the useof only
three bottles of this medicine, till my pains wero remo
ved, my conghind spitting of blood and corruption en
tirely stopped, and in a lew weeks my health was so
far restored as to enable me to wotk nt my trade,
(which is a Carpenter) and up to this time I have eniov
ed good health. .
