the eye of some slave-holder who may have it j
in prospect to emancipate his slaves at the ages :
of 25, 30, or 35 years. The slave, thus enhanc-!
ed in value, would, in a reasonoble time, repay
the pecuniary loss of the owner, and be prepar

ROGERS’S VEGETABLE PULMONIC DE
TERGENT,
JUST received and for sale by
jail 29 WILLIAM STABLER.
From the Hon. Gideon Lee, Mayor of the City
of Arew York.
“ Few men in the community have a greater
contempt for nostrums in general than myself.
Patent medicine and catchpenny, with me, have
been synonymous. I am constrained, however,
to relinquish these sentiments as respects Dr. j
Rogers’s Vegetable Detergent, the effects of|
which I have recently witnessed. A young lady
in my family, by using two papers, I have rea
son to believe, is effectually cured of an alarm
ing Pulmonic Complaint, which in all its symp
toms gave evidence of immediate consumption.
I communicate this with a view of usefulness,
and sincerely hope that such persons as have
complaints similar to the above, will make a tri
al of the medicine. Gideon* Lee.”
