No family ought to be without one bottle at. least, when it is notorious thousands of children die annually in this State with that obstinate complaint. ' Diseases of the bowels frequently effect grown persons as well a^ -children and no instance, has yet been 'known whfcie this medicine has been used where it has failed* It is therefore confidently recommended to., every one constantly to have it in their houses. ?3 > READ AND BELIfiVE. This remedy has been used by many eminent physicians, some of whom have chaige of the largest Hospitals in the United States, where the Cholera has prevailed to a great extent, and been fatal to me intemperate, aged and lunatic persons. Their con fidence in this medicine is such, that they say tbey are not afraid of the most inveterate cases of Asiatic Cholera, when taken in time. ' 1 The following are only a small proportion of the [? certificates I have of the efficiency of this- certain remedy for the Cholera. Those opposed to quave ry will at once see that this is nothing of the .kiad, forthose who have subscribed their names to these certificates, live among us, and are known to be raen of the first standing, and upon whose word the ut most reliance can be placed. * - "iEWrectiojw.rr-Take a table spoonfulof the mixture with the same quantity of water, every hour or half hour,as occasion may require, until vomiting, -purg ing, and pains have ceased.

' In .no case has it failed to cure the mbst inveterate attack: The best mode of administering it to children, is, to take a tea spoonfnl of the mixture and mix itwith the same quantity of water, giving it as above directed? a little sugar may be added to .make it mure palatable. $3rKeep the bottle well corked. . rtyV When the cholera was raging hers to a great ex tent, the Rev. Dr. John French, had occasion to use this preparation twice in his own family, and lias given the following certificate of its efficacy : : ? "On Thursday my little son . came home from school, making great complaint .of .sick stomach' and pain in the bowels. He looked to be quite" sick. I immediately gave him a dose of this medicine ; he was presently relieved, and has not complained since.- V i-V >i; "On Friday, while absent from, home, a white girl, ivingat my house, was taken with nausea andtpainl in tne towels. My wife gave her a dose o't this me dicine, and to use her own words; it acted like a charm. She was \yell before I returned to the house, and has remained so ever since. ?" Norfolk, Sept. 6th, 1832. v -V.t - . This certificate, which adds no little weight to the value and importance of my medicine, is given by -the Rev. Arthur Cooper, Inspector of our Borough, and I have no doubt his name will be recognized by every individual in this section of the country. He presents it cheerfully, believing it to cause many to possess what he considers to be the most valuable of all medicines. I am sura it will convince those who have an abhorrence to-patent medicines, that this is no quackery. Only read this. 2 v ' *? "V.?/"' vr " Norfolk, July 17, 1835. Mr. R ? Bernard? Sir, I am greatly opposed to anything like quackery, but when 1 reflect upon the good your invaluable remedy has done, and might continue to do, if made generally known, I.am wil ling to throw aside any thing like prej udice, and freely give my opinion upon.your medicine. In my situa tion of life, it frequently happens that diseases of every kind come under my observation ? but the major part of>them seem to be, at this season of the year, premonitory .symptoms of Cholera many of which, I have no doubt, prove fatal for want of such b preparation as yours. Now, sir, the remedy for Cholera (as you call it) is the very thing that is want . ing to stay the pjpgres3 of this distressing diseaseed "This I speak from experience. I have not only usis it repeatedly in my own family, but have adminis tered it to many others, and I can with truth say its effects have surpassed my most sanguine expecta tions. In several cases where the bowels were in a most deranged state, other remedies had been ad ministered, untiLreally the patient was in great dan ger of dying, and from simply giving a dose or two of your remedy for cholera .as described, immediate relief was found. In one instance I used it upon a servant, a member of my family, that was laboring under a dreadful bowel complaiot, spasms and vomit ing ? for some time my wife and self had serious ap prehensions that she would die ? but after giving one dose of your remedy for cholera, the vomiting ceased, the pains gradually disappeared, and the day she entirely recovered. I have also used this medi cine with children troubled with bowel and summer complaint, and in no case has it failed to cure them. Most willingly do I recommend it to my acquaintan ces, and hope all prudent persons will avail them selves of so valuable a medicine. ARTHUR COOPER. This invaluable medicine is for sale only by f. A.

The two Johnsons. [From the "Sket ches of Western Adventurers."] Early in the fall of '93, two boys by the name of John son, the one 12, and the other 9 years of age, were playing on the banks of Short creek, near the mouth of the Muskingum, and occa sionally skipping stones into the water. At a distance, they saw two men, dressed like ordinary settlers, in hats and coats, who gradually approached them, and from time to time threw stones into the water, in imitation of the children. At length, when within 100 yards of the boys, they suddenly threw off their masks, and rushing rapidly upon them, took them prisoners. They proved to be In dians of the Delaware tribe. Taking the children in their arms, they ran hastily into the woods ; and after a rapid march of about six miles, they encamped for the night. ? ,\ Having kindled a fire, and laying their rilk~ and tomahawks against a tree, they lay do^ to rest, each with a boy in his arma^^The I children, as may be readily supposed, 1 much agitated to sleep. The eldest.at lehgt began to move his limbs cautiously, andfiadr ing that the Indian who , Sii? fast asleep, he gradually disen^a-j- ! himself from his arms, and walked to the Inc. which had burnt low. He remained se\er?il minutes in suspense of what was to be done. ll.iviug stirred the liiv, and ascertained the xact po sition of the enemies' arms, lie whispered i sofilv to his brother to imitate his example, and if possible to extricote himself lrotn bis keeper. The little boy did as his brother directed, and both stood irresolute around the fire. At length the oldest,; who was of a very resolute disposition, proposed they should kill the sleeping Indians, and return home. The eldest jointed at, one of the guns, and assured his^ brother ifj he would only pull the trigger of that gno after he had placed it to rest^ he would an-, swer for the other Indian. 'The plan was! agreed upon. The rifle was levelled, with the' | muzzle resting on a log, which lay uear;,and having stationed his little *rotiijjr at- the hreech, with positive orders.not to i^?yi the trigger until he * gave the word, l>e than seized ^he tomahawk, and advanced cautious ly to the sleeper. Such was the agitation of, the younge/ brother, however, that he touch ed the' trigger too soon, and the report of hi?? gun awakened the other Iudian before hia brother ivas quite prepared. He struck tl^ blow, however, with firmness, although jg the hufry of the act it: was done wit^ blunt part of the hatchet, and only^ his antagonist. Quickly repeating however, with the edge, he inuiffl. wound upon the Indian's headi-f1 repeated strokes, left him ? The other, frightened .*^3^3 his own gun, had alread?itaken to h? scra pers, and with much difficulty was overtaken by his brother. Having regained the road by which they had advanced, the elder fixed his hat upon a bush* tasfiarrk the spot,_and by daylight they regainedtheir homes.
