)]:?'A Lady, to whom reference can be made, was for years
afflicted with litimoiirs on her neck, accompanied with fre-
quent itching eruptions, and ruiiiiiiig sores. _ She had tried
various remedies and had taken the best medical advice, but
could get no permtiricnt relief, and her case daily becoming
worse, fears were entertained of a fatal termination oflier
complaint, when a friend providently recotrimeiidcd the Bota-
nical Drops, four bottles of whicli effected a complete cure,
to the surprise and joy of herself and frientls. .
II:rA Child of Sytears, had lost the use of his arms, one
leg was almost crippled, hip dropped out of place, tliigli and
arms swollen and broke open in several places, and inany of
the sores had pcnetriitctl down to the bone. On tal-ting these
Drops he recovered the use of his limbs, the sores healed zip,
and he was restored to healtli, although thought incurable.
II’:/‘A young Man, near Boston, was reduced so low by
eruptions and sores in various parts of his body, especially
his neck and hands; weakness at the stomach, loss of appe-
tite, general dehility, and gradual decline of the whole
s_v.stein, so as to threaten an approacliing tjonsiimption. He
was entirely ctired, and restored to ti fine state of health, by
five or six bottles of these Drops. _ j ,
[ETA Married Lady was for years afflicted with eruptions
on the face, head, ears, and various parts of t.he_body, at-
tended with violent itching, burning, «Sac. had tried many
prescriptions without effect; was confined to_bcr room, and
declined all company. She was cured by taking {our bottles
of these Drops.
B3’ A Lad belonging to Saugus, whose head was covered
all over with sores and blotclies, was wholly cured by 8. few
bottles, after cvery other remedy had failed. _

To 'my old friend i'lIr. Dicig/it oftlic New York Daily
A (1 no rlisc 7‘.
\VAsirt-.\'t:1‘oN, '25th January, 1834.
Ever since I and the Gineral settled t-he
Post Otfice accounts, as I telI’d you in my
last, by charging the amount that Major
Barry is :’.SItll'.'l to “ Glory” and “ Reform,”
the Gincral has been more easy about it than
I am nfcard other folks be, especially some
of the opposition folks in Congress; they
keep ismellin roiind——and unless we can git
tip another lllllllfichtloll there will be trouble,
not only about the Post Office business, btit
some other branches of the Departineiit.
Congress keeps hamniering away yet a-
bout the deposits, and the Giiiernl was just
agoiri to give up when we got the news from
Albany ofthe vote of the Lcgisl-attire there
in favor of the Gincral in taking away the
Deposits from the U. S. Batik, and the vote
of the New Jersey Legislatitr, and strong
news too, that some other Legislature w’d
do the same. The Gincral was amazingly
tickled, anti says he Major, I reckon your
tiotioii that the people wariit with its on that
pint is a mistake, and now says the Gincral,
I’ll hang on the Deposits, and Biddle may
whistle for ’em.’’ “\Vell," says I, “Gincral,
wc’ll see, and as I said afore, if the people
don’t. tell their Legislators aiiothcr story,
and Congress too afore we are a month old
or, then,” says I, ‘I know nothing on ’ein.”
Very well Major, says the Gincral, we’ll
see—and jtist then in come Amos and the
Globe man, and some more of our folks,
and lookin pretty streaked too, and I got; a
notion right olftliere was soinethin stirriii
——and so they began to tell the Girieral that
Biddle was to work bribin all the people
he could to sign petitions to Congress, ask-
ing to put back in the Batik all the deposits
agin, and to re-charter the Bank. “VVhy,”
says the Gincral, “aint that too bad Major
——we must give the Bank says he that Lat-
in pill, there is iiotliiii will stop em but that
skiry factus,” (or some sicli a name the
Gincral calls it.) Now, says I, Gincral
stop a bit says I——tlierc is one thing puzzles
me considerable about this bribin business—-
I should like to know who they be who are
takin bribes—it aim in the natur of things,
says I, for sqtiire Biddle to bribe the friends
of the Batik, for that would be useless—
then, says I, it must be that he is bribin the
enemics of the Batik, and that’s otir party.
Now, says I, will you set by and hear folks
say, that our party is sich a shabby set of
follows as to take bribes—if you do, says I,
I wotit, and with that I riz up. but afore I
could get round the corner of the table I
and the Gincral was alone tigin. I sat
down and said nothin-—I gritted my teeth a
spell, but that didn’t do much good—I took
my knife and whittled the table, but that
wnrnt much better, and the ony way to
rights that ptit me in a good tempe ' agin,
was to whistle more than 40 vnrses ofYan-
kee Doodle, for I ditlu’t like to say a word
to the Gineral whilst I was in a pashin.-—-
andlown the room‘-—'-so as soon as I got
tlirc‘ li whistlin, says I, Gincral, I guess
we list say iiothin more about bribin, says
I; 'el-l, says he, Major, I reckon you are
right, for the notion never struck me afore
tliatthat kinder talk hits right upon the
head of our friends, for they are the ouy
onesihat need bribin Now, says I, Ginc-
rul,jst lets you atid I sit down and talk
ovcrliis littsiiicss, and l’ll tell you like a
trite riend, how the cat is going to jump,
and lit don"t ttirii out as I tell you, I’ll give
you iiy ax and throw in my regimciitals in
the nrgain ; and so the Gincral he sot
dowi; and I went at it.
Indie first place says I, ifI gitin a posh-
iu, yet must keep cool——-and if you git in a
paslii: I’ll keep cool, but if we both git in a
paslii: then there is no telliii—weli says the
Giiint;-al that is a good notion Major, for
that’s_est the way the Ingiiis do, and they
larn wisdom from nntiir; you never see an
Inginaind his sqtiziw git drunk togcther—-
when one gits drunk tother keeps sober,
and sothey take turn and turn abotit. W'ell
says }._I never heard that afore but I stip-
piisethi’ they git along better when they
are both sober. 0 yes, says the Giiieral, in
war time that is best, bi.it not in treatytiine.
‘Veil rnys I that’s no matter, that aint ex-
actly nhnt I am arlpr, but l‘ve got a notion
out on’: whisli I’ll begin with : Some years
ago tlii. Yankees got drutik and got up a
kinder iiiillification: there warnt much in
it artor all, according to my old frieiid
Dwiglitis book—-but folks South thought
there \'i:‘tS, and so they kept sober; and last
year Ill-: South got drunk, 6:. then all North
kept stibei-, and that frolic is endcd.——Now,
says I, iiorth and South and East and \Vest
are all.-:s'i‘.)ei', and all shaken hands, and
they s:i_=/ we have been taken a drop to much
—-there aint no niillification no where in
p‘-irticu‘. ir, but its all nullification all about
us, all-‘lull hands are forniin 21 ring and
closin ilftipon us here, pretty much like ti
wolf liti2t—tliey all say we liave taken the
money '-lint belongs to the people, and the
people unlit be content till we give it up—
thzits pr':?t.y much the nuf) of the business——-
and wt; zzliall have petitions and memorials
from all ipi:ii't:'i's tiiinbliri in upon its, and if
we don‘. xriiiid tlicrn, they will be followetl
by l'ltli‘t".“ tincks,ji.=t like the story in the Old
.‘~§pelii:i Books about. the old man drivin the
boys Iioiiz his apple tree—-he throw’d glass
first a:.:l liltlt doin no good he tried stones,
iind that brought em down pretty quick.
The {_tii:ei':il l:c heguii to git inn p:ishin———
and sajs he Major l’in gitttn triad. Very
well s:i_vs i Giiicrtil I’ll keep cool accordii:g_r
to zigi'et.-s;':.:iit; aiitl with that the Gincral
slatted r:-itiid a spell with his liickory, and
talked ."-.i’i'i'.lI. New ()l‘l(-3{lllS—t1l’3(l Siininoli—

“ ivl'i:i."‘v.%i»;-‘s I “ not if the people say we
was wrong in takin em? Suppose the peo-
ple say the laws are agiii us, what: then I
VVcll says the Gincral I've tell’d cm that
the Laws are oiiy jest as I tiriderst-.iiid ’etn,
and nothin else. Now says I Gincral, stip-
pose Clay, or Ialhoun, or 'Webstei', was in
your ofiiec and said jest so——antl you was
in Congress, or you was one oftlic people
and didn’t agree with ’em—hotv then says
I '2 O, says the Gincral that’s a very difl'ei'-
eiit tliing~-—.=iriy one of them follows would
be daiigerous to trust witli any kind of pow-
er. VVell says I my notion is, however,
that the law dont mean to trust no body—-
and as I am peskily afraid one or tother on
’eni will git in here ater we go to the Hot‘-
niitage——I dont want to liave any tliing
done now by us that they will do, and then
tell us they ony do what we did. 'I'hut’s
the oiiy thiiig that puzzles me—l‘or says I,
Gincral, sass for the goose ought to be sass
for the gtiiider too.
“fell, says the Gincral, there is somethiii
in that Major--but says he, I cant give tip
the Di-posites any how : Amos says we must
hold on to ’t-m, and all our folks say so too
Yes, says I, Gincral its trite eiinlfthc hounds
have got the stag down, &. got a taste on
him afore the hunters cotiie tip, and I sup-
pose there will be lectle left but the horns
and trotters; but, says I, it aint riglit, and
the people will tell us so you may depend ;
and all I have to..sny is, if what we have
done is to bethe rule ln:i'c-after‘, I dont know
but I should like to he I’resident myself: for
folks miglit make laws, and all I’d have to
do would hcjist to understand ’eni actzordin
to my notion.
I dont see Major says the Gincral, how it
is yoti git such odd notions about the public
seiititiient. I know I cant be mistaken, for
every letter I have time to read tells me I
am right; and I read the Globe from one
eend to totlierevei'v day, and that paper
tells every thing, and I see iiothiii there that
tells me I am rong—\Vcll, says I, Gincral
yoit know you liaint got time to read more
than one letter in a hundred that co.nes.—
Thais true eiiitf says the Giiicral, but then
our folks do, and they tell me every tliirig.”
“Tell you every tliing? says I,— but no
matter”-—and so I wliistled Yankee Doodle
-.1 spell. “ No, No, M:-ijtii‘ says the Gincral,
the opposition folks throw dtist in your eyes,
you dont see things as clear as the rest of
our folks about us.” I jest was goin to
speak but findiii my dander was lifting, I
had to go to whistliii agin, and it took me
high upon 15 minutes to git right, and I ex-
pected every ininit I would h:ive to git my
ax and split hickory a spell in the bargin.
Now, says I Gincral, you are the city man
on earth I'd look at a mitiit, and let Iiini
say so to me. I got dust in my eyes, says
I’! I not-!t.now what is goin on in doors and
out of doors’! why says I, how yoti talk.
Now, says I, youjist set still a minit and I’ll
show you sonietliiiig says, I worth looking
iiito—and I went into :1 room where Mr.
Van Buren and Autos and some more of our
folks git together every once and a while,
to manage and talk over matters, and I've
ui Iature of 'I‘. KIDDER, on the otitsido printed wrapper.

The Gincral was all the while walkin up
seen so much of the games play’d there,
and bein naturally curious in most matters,
I can play some on ’cni nigh upon as slick
as Mr Van Buren himself-—but he is :1 mas-
ter hand at it.—'I‘he game he had been
pinyin rriost at, latterly was about managin
the public money ninoiigtlie new Depositc
Banks, and showin how to use the “transfer
clicc/rs and “ctntti'ngent drafts” so as to
puzzle folks in time and need. It was
'(I'(.’tl'le with a parcel of cttps and balls, and
little strips of paper—and did tickle me
amnzinly; and for a spell puzzled me too
——and so I thought I’djist show the Giii-
eral, and see if it wouldn’t tickcl and
puzzle him to—and so I thought I’d jist
let the Gincral see iftliere w:irii’t a leetle
dust in his eyes too. And so I brought in
a hull arm full of his macliiitery. And -as
soon as the Gincral saw me, why, says he,
Major what on earth have you got there.——-
Why, says I, its a trifle, and I’ll tell you all
about it to rights. And so I placed the
ctips bottom tip, all along in a row on the
table, and then I gin the Ginerul a hand full
ofsmall halls. Now, says I I’m goin to
show you about as ctite a thing as you’ve
seen in many a day——them cups we’ll call
banks, and them balls is the money we took
from Squire I3iddle’s Bank, the next tliing
is to show you how things are goin to work,
now that we’ve got our money from one
pocket, where we always kiiotv’d where to
find it,‘ and divided rotiiid among twenty
pockets, where may be you may, or may-be
you may not find iiothin at all on’t—-and
here says I are some leetle pieces of paper
that I’am goin to make use on to throw
dust with—Notv says I Gincral look sharp
or you are gone hook and line says I. Its a
plngy cuiining game, and I dotit know sar-
tin that I can play it as well as Mr. Vain
Biireti and Amos and some more of them
are folks, and especially the Treasury folks,
for they Ill:-C been at it now off atid on cv-
er since I’ve heeri liere——uiid Mr. Van Eu-
rcn tell’d cm unless they cotild plny this
garne well, there was no use in tzikin array
the depositts.
Now says I Gircral I’ll begi.-i—you are
szirtin says I there is at ball under ev’ry cup
—-0 yes. says the Gincral, for Ijcst. pitt cin
there, and then I Iltfgall slidin the cups by
each other, and mixiti on em, and kept talk-
in about Glory and Rcforut, and the Silt
.iantz:ii‘y, and the Proclamation, and Veto,
:ii:d Ntillilic:itiori,.1iid some folks be like
old Itonzziiis born to C()l'I]l'n:lll(I and others to
obey, and so oii—-—:mdjcst its the Giiicr'al-
took his eye offtlie cups and look’d at inc,
:tnd_.w:is goin to say soziietiiiii, I sl:ip’d some
cups togctlici‘ nd czillcd out hocus pocu-s,
ulicani pain, presto, c pltiribtis ttiium, sine
qua uoii, slairy factus, says I—there says
I Giiiirrnl Iliait’s the ceii’d Olltb Well says
the '(2i:it:i‘;'.'i I Limit Silt‘ iiitztzii in that =_'\'I2ijoi'
—-—didh’t you says I ? then so much the I)l“.=
tor for the g.'|lI'l(3. I suppose then says I
you thinl-; the balls are under the cups jest
as you put them. To be sure I do, says the
Gincral, I suspected what you was nrter
Major, and I kept my eye on the cups, and
no balls ever get from under em without my
seein em, I’d stake my life on’t says the
Giiicral; and what’s more, I’ll stake the
fastest horse in my stable, that every one of
the cups has got a ball under em. ‘Veil,
says I, Gincral, it would’nt be fore bettiti,
and so do you go to work and look. And
the Gincral, he lifted up one cup, and there
warn’t nothin under it but a piece of paper.
The Gincral he was stuinp’d ; he look’d at
trio, and gin his face a twist, and then he
look’d in the cup and shook it. VVell, says
he, Major, that is plagy odd, what has be-
come ofthat ball? \Vell, says I, I guess the
paper will tell you; and the Gincral took
tip that, and riib’d his specks and read,
“'I‘mi'isfei' draft No. 101.” VVcll then I
suppose, says the Gincral, its all riglit—(for
he jest began to take the notion olitlie ganie)
and instead of one ball in the next cup
there is two balls.”-—“I’m not szirtin, says
I, and you had better look. And as the
Gincral lifted the next cup—-and there
warnt no hulls there tiothei'—ony ai.otlie.r
piece of paper. The Giiieral look’d a spell
at me, and opened his motttli, and then he
scratched his head, and took off his specks,
and i'ub’d them agiii, and then he read the
paper. On one side was, “Coiitin_«_rerit
check $5U0,000—:incl on tothcr side. was
\\"l'ltt(‘ll “Mzirqties of Cai'm:itltcti,” $250,-
Ol)0—-(3 pct‘ ct.—“Pnst Oflice loans” and all
kivei"d tip with figers, so yoti could not see
it hit of“ l"V/tile” on the papcr—'-the Ginernl
he blink’d at it a spell and says he, Major,
what does this mean » well, says I, Ginc-
l'tll-, I dont exactly know niyst-lf, but Isup-
pose its {ill right, for I see here oti one cor
nt-r “Amos KiIidle”——“U vi-.-ry well, says
the Gincral, if that paper has post under
the eyes of “liomzst Am0s”—iriy lite on’t its
all right. But Major, wlit.-re. is the ball I
put under that cup, says the Ginei‘al—:iiiii
it under one of tliesi.-. cups? Not as I knows
on, says I—aiid with that the Gincral he
turned to agiii, liftin the cups and shnkin on
em and looking into cm, and tlicrc. W'rll'lll. a
hzill under any on em—orily pieces of pa-
per all ftill offigerin, and some on em mar-
ked “ 'I'rans/er C/iec/cs,” and “Contingent
Drafts,” and “' 'reasur_y IVarranfs,”-— the
Gineral husslcd em about to see if he could
find any of them balls among cm-—utid ex-
amined all the cups agin, and he looked uti-
der the tables——so to rights, says he-, Mujor,
I’m st:unip’d—-I iiock tin(lei'——I’ii'i clean
beat, says the Gincral ; and now, says be,
where are the balls—-and with that I put my
hand in mv pocket, and took out "out — well,
says the Gincral, that beats all the rest.-
Niitv, says the Gincral, what game is this,
aint this nickremancy? \Vell, says I, Glue-
ral, my notion is, its pretty nigh that, but
Mr Van Buren says there aint a bit of nick-
remancy in it-—it’s oiiyjina'ncer_z/, but I stip-
pose itls a lcetle of both on em-—\Vell, says
the Grin’l, its a plagy cutinin game, Major,
aint it? 0, says I, its nothin as I play it
here——yon should see Van Buren at one
eencl of a table, and honest Amos at tothcr,
and some oftlie folks from York State with
the “Safety Fund cups” too, strung arotiiid
the table, and all on em tinderstandin the
game high upon as well as Mr Van Buren
—and then they bring in the “party cups”
too——and such a inovin and liociis pocus
work, I never see afore in my born days-—
iii lookin sometimes I wotild’tit bet I had a
head on my shoulders~it beats all natur,
says I.
New Major, says the Ginernl, suppose
you try it again, and so as I got my hand
in, I played it overi.’ or 3 times a leetlc het-
tcr. and the Ginernl cotildii’t see the trick
no wny—for tvlieri I’d find him watchin
plagy close, l’d spread the cups as far as I
could reach, and talk about “Glory” like all
rath, and tell about the people’s beginning
to think that some folks wits outwittiii the
Gincral, and that Congress wouldn’t go
home afore they git all the public counts
sifted, and the people-’s niotiey buck ngin
under their control, and as the Gincral
couldn’t keep his eye ‘on all the cups at
once, I’d hocus pocus agin. The Gineral
couldn’t see into it, and he rub’d his specks
more than twenty times, btit that didn’t git
the dust otit of his eyes, and then I tui'n’d
to and explain’d all I know’d about it to the
Gincral, mid he tried it, and after a good
inany slips--pretty much as Major Barry
did when he tried it—lie got along pretty
well, coiisidcrin. Now, Majoi°, says the
Gincral, stipposc we try it with one ctip,
and ptit all the balls under it, and see how
the game works that way. I think, says the
Gincral, if you can outwit me then, I may
as well quit. \Vell, says I, Ginernl that
was jest my notion too; and I tell’d our
folks, and offci°’tl to hot any on out they
couldn’t git :1 single b:ill out-, or git a piece
of paper in the plaice on’t, witliont my scein
it iftliey oily tis’d one clip, and not one on
’em would take me i.ip—nnd I’ve tried it,
but it won’t work with one cup-——you must
have it good string on ’em. Soinc ofoiir folks
said they could fix :1 cup so as to play the
gziiiie with it-—but tlit».-y could:i’t with a plain
singlc cup—niid scciii that I SI.llill]),tI ’om
about the single ci.:p, they are all at work
now in all parts ofthe country iiiveiitin ti
cup with springs, and serous, and slides,
and holes inside oii°t. ‘Wt-ll, Major, says
the Giner=.il, I don’: like to have dust thrown
in my eyes, and I iievci‘ did like this /locus
paws work,I never tinderstatid it; and I
don’t: like this kind of 7lI(.'./i‘7‘(.‘7)l(l7II3_?/ or_fiiian-
Cy-—-and it aim: to my fanc_i/ at any rate,
Major, and it shan’t be, that I’m deterniii'i’d
upon-—and jist then in come a htill raft of
our folks front Congress, to tell the Gincral
what was going mi tliero; and as I hzid this
letter to write to you I went into the next
room,aiid whilst I W:1S'.'~.’l‘lIlfltIlt:l‘£‘, I'd '
tho (}ii:i:rnl once and a while stortiiiii a «y
aboiit that plugy game of ‘_/iiiancg/” and
“.°zic/.‘rc7n(rm;_i/.” “'I‘liere won't be a dollar
left,” says the Gincral, “to pay the old so-
gers their pensions, if we dont ptit a stop to
this game,” and then they all got to bluster-
iii, “and we must,” and “we musn’t do this
and that.” Oho, thinks I, when folks talk
of we its time for me to take a hand ; and
jist as I was goin to start, I heard the Glue-
ral roar out for me, and not knowiii what:
was comin Ijist grab’d my ax, and was a-
longside of him in a flash : and would you
think it? there was more than fifty fellows
ofmir l'oik.-=, and some ‘on ’em from Con-
gress too, all standiti round in a ring, brow
hentin the Gincral, mid tellin him not to do
this, and not to do that, and by no means
not to break their cups, for, it 5(3('l’ll.°, the
Gincral had just threatened to SIIIHSII ’etri ;
aiitl stire enuf, as soon as he saw me he let
drive at cm with his hickory, and he sent
the cups and balls into more than a thou-
sand bits. “Stand by Major,” says the Gin-
cral-—never _vou four the Gincral-, says I-
hut afore I had time to suit in my hands, the
Gincral fi.iisll(’(I the war: there wariit a
critter left-. And ever since, the Gincral
has bin hlowiii olfsteairi ; and be liaitit said
a word to me about linvin dust in my eyes,
and I begin to think the Giiioral finds he
hashad as ninch iii liis’n as most folks, and
so that's all for the present; (my I’ll jist tell
you its no use for any one to attempt tiow to
deceive the Gincral with new plans, and a
new h2ink—we’ll have the one we’ve got,
made a little bigger, pritty much arter Mr.
\Vehster’s fashion, and that met-ts my bo-
tioti, because the country is bigger thainit:
was ‘.30 years ago-—-and there miis’nt be no
iiicki'ei'ii:iiic'y about it. The Gincral says
there must be ony a plain ctip, and all the
balls in it; then there will be no lioctis po-
cits without seeiii the trick out; So no more
at present. Front your friend,
