/ ELEBRATED remedy for Salt Rheum
’ Ring Worm, Tetter, Eizema, Scalled
Head, Barbers Itch, and a.ll other diseases of
the skin, are effectually cured by the use of
Sands’ remedy for Salt Rheum. It has witiiin
a few months cured rising 5000 different cases
of the above diseases of the skin, and never been
known to fail in eradicating any disease of this
kind where a fair trial has been given.
There is no danger of applying it even to lltfi‘
tender skin of a young infant. Testimonials 01
its efficacy, both verbal and written, are almost
, daily received. which can be seen on applica
- tion to our agents.
Edwin Portenmerchant, of Fall River, Mass.
certifies that after having been afflicted with the
Salt Rheum in its severest forms, for several
' years, he was entirely cured by this remedy in
ithe course ofa few weeks, and has been entirely
free from the disease for ‘two years.
H. M. Ritterband, of No. 185 Reade street,
New York, testifies that he was ‘cured of the
, Salt Rlieiim, after using Sands’ remc_dy_ only
five days; and advises every person similarly
afflicted to use the same medicine.
"’ Enos Bumzell, of Staten Island, certifies that
this medicine cured his wife ofthe Salt Rheum
in three weeks 2, and says he would not hesitate
to pay one liuizdrcrl dollars for this medicine if
that was the price, and his wife should again be
the same situation.

covered from the aborigines of our country,
the medical herb from which the. Mother's Re-
lief is made; since that lime,we have contented
ourselves in letting it be its own advertiser; and
we should still adhere to this resolution first
fornied,if we were not conipelledto believethat
thereare persons szxunpri-nciplerl. and so reckless
of the hea!th and lives of the unsuspecting and
coiifiding, as to endeavor to palm off under its
name, useless, if not baneful compounds, and
thus not only disappointingthejust expectations
-_o_f those who use it, but we fear, doing in many
cases, iriucli injury.
As we are i~iiforn.ied that there are such com-
pounds now oflered at various places. and by
different persons, we would caution all who are
interested. to be particular to inquire for " Bar-
[lz0l7C]£'.S ]l’I,o,t/ier's Relief.” and purchase of no
person except they can show a certificate ofageii-
cy, signed by G. A. BAR'1‘IIOLtCK 65 Co.
Asthe subject cannot, with propriety, be en
larged upon in the form of 3 “ewspaper adver-
tisetrieiit, permit us to say that all who have the
genuine article for sale, are fl_lS()l‘l,l,l't)_l_S'he(.l with a
pamphlet for gratuitousdistribution, wherein the
subject is more fully discussed, in which, its
“modus operandi” is demonstrated to be upon
true Physiological data, operating upon the sys-
tem only by restoring the deranged ftinctioiis to_
their natural condition; alloying the febrile and
irritable symptoms, thus aiding and assisting
nature in her effort to prepare the system for the
important change about -to take place. '.1‘.ltl.S
pamphlet will be given to all who wish,but itis
intended to be read only by these who are about
to become moiliers or ilieir Physicians.
As we are thus obliged to come before the
public to prevent a wicked and reckless imposi-
tion, we will take the occasion to say. that it the
increase of the call for the Mother’s Relief.
wherever known, be any guide toa correct opiu-
ion to be formed of the estimation in which it is
held, we have the satisfaction _of believing that
it has been the means of alleviating an infinite
amount of suffering and of saving many valua
ble lives. \Vherever it has been used dtiringthe
above period, deep rooted prejudices. have given
away to candid and thankful expressions of grati-
tude, and a wish to extend on their parts. asfar

Yes, too late, unhappy motirnci E.
All iliy zigonics are vain:
Cold thy brother lies before thee;
Tears may gush like summer rain:
Uuavailitig all thy grief, '
Tears can bring thee no relief!
. ii, _

Selfish thought. and cruel word,
On thy writhing soul is echoing.
\Vith a voice iliat will be heard;
Vain thy deep remorseful gl'lt=f,
Szghs will bring tiiec no relief!
Thou dost shrink from every solace
flt.-titan synipa:liy may bring;
In thy helplessdesolation.
Thought will flash, and Memory sting!
None may soothe thy lonely grief,
Earth can bring thee no relief!
Thou whose friends are still beside thee,
Listen to this sorrowing strain;
Ponder well the solemn warniii_v,
\-Vhicli its iiiouriiful truths contain :
lleurts whicli siicli remorse have known,
Peace may f'in.d in lleaveii alone!

had evidence of his election throiirrh a cer-

only evidence he could have of an election,

the Clerk, have no more right to pass bythe

have to pass over my name. Mi‘. H. consid.
ored it an assumption of power on the part
of the Clerk to go behinzl the lretiirn of the
Governor in the form of a certificate of clec.

several members was equally good,

\V.9.siiixc'roN, Dec. 2, 1839.
'1‘lic House was filled 10112‘ before l2 o’-
clock. The members of the House were all
present except Mr. Kempshall of N. York, :1
\Vhig member. The Mississippi members
were both here, and ‘.340 of the Delegations
of 2452. But one member was absent front
the twenty-six States and three Territories.
The Clerk, 1_lIr. Gru'ltuirl, at 12 o’clock,.
called the House to order. He said that “if
it was the pleasure of the House he would"
read the riames of the members.” There
was a moment's pause, and no objection be-
ing made, the Clerk proceeded to read the
names from the written list before him, be-
giiiriing with the Maine delegation.
When the State of New- .t-rsey was nam-
ed, the clerk read the name ofM.r. Randolph.
He then said .there were five contested seats
in the New Jersey deli-gation, which, ifit
was the pleasu reef the Ho use, he would pass
over, jlenving ,tl;te subject to the future action
of the House.
The first named of the Petltlsylf-Jflnltl dele-
gation was then read, when the Clerk was
interrt-ipted by .llIi'. Zlfaazwell, one of the N.
Jersey delegation. Mr. Maxwell cal"-led-»fo.r
the reading of the certificates of election of
the fiye members. Gov. Penriingion’s cer-',
tificate -announcing the election of the six
C-overiior’s act had been r-oinplaiiied of But

sisltcd the House only to follow its own pre-
cedt-rits iii the disposition of their claims.
M:in_v precedeiits were cited in the history of
foreign and national legislation. all going‘ to
show that the ceititicates of an cl.-ctioii were
prima tacit: evidence of an election. The
Clerk nor the House could set aside an elec-
tioii- beforethe.House was org.-tiiised. The
claimants had the usual mode of claiming a
redress of giievanccs, the customary, estab-
lislied mode. V
lift‘. Vanrterpool of ‘New Yuri: proposed
thatthe testimony ofthe clainiants be reatl be-.
fore the law of New Ji‘l‘S(‘\' applicable to
elections, or in connection with it.
ll-'I’I". T'lllin§,"lLllSl said that upon the evi-
(.lL‘l]C'd ofthe ct.‘-rtilicate ofthe Governor of N.
.lerscy, the Clerk had caused‘ the: name of
Mi". R-‘.llltl.0lpll to be read, and yet upon the
same evidence he had refused the evidence
of the el_ec:i:.n of! the remaining 5 merrbers.
The Cltiirk, Mr. T. contended, had no right
to do this. The certificates proved alike and
equally the election of all the members.
Mr. Filer‘-cer continued the clebztte at some
length, making various suggestions, and ar-
guing the merits of the caseibrieflv. ,
ilIr Jo/1715072.. of Maryland, appt-alttd to the
members. He denied the power ofthe Clerk
to refuse to rvarl the names of.‘ the N Jersey
members. The only evidence he had" of his
own election was the high seal of the stair}
of Maryland, and the irieriibers elect from N.
Jcitsey had the some proof of their election.
llI7' Birllle s.iid that iftlie stig-gestioiis of
Mr. Ptives of Va. were cari'it-d out, mon-
sti'ot«is abuses would spring up under it.—
The precedent would be it bad one, and could
not fail forever hereafter to be used fora bad
purposv-. “_Z-‘he Cit.-rlr, he contended, was
bound to conform to the law of the State of
Ncwlersey, and the. certificate before him;
instt ad of which, he hail been governed‘ by
his own will, or by his own convictions of
duty. He was boutid, he. thought, by the
foriiiei‘. and had no r_iglit to consider the lat-
ter subject. All the (‘~l(‘I’l{ should do, and
could do, was to state his own convictions,
and leave the action to the pleasure of the
H'onse..
_7lIr. iS'ei'gcrz/il, ofPa. spoke at some length,
censiiri-rig the _'conduct ofthe clerk, and in re-
ply to some rciiiarks of Mr. Slade.
BI)‘. Ranrlolpli, of New Jersey, followed
Mr. Sergeant. He was for l'(~tiCllng the law
of New Jersey applicable to the siibj_eet.—
That law and the u‘sa__qe of the House would
decide the pending dificulties. He hoped,
the law would be read. lt would bring the
subject before the House in a iiiani'ier ii"hicf_i
would lead to its disposition. I '
ill)‘. .B_?/72.2t,7)I, of N. C., spoke at length in
reply to Mt‘. H-alstead, in. defence of the con-
duct of Mr. Garlandz, the clei'.k., and in re-
gard to the claim of the 5 Van Buren mem-
bers from New Jersey who have not got the
cei'ti.fit-ates of election. The clerk, he hoped,
would lioid last to his present position. The
Administration members were. but defending
the people of New Jersey in opposing their
Governor. He had assumed apower over
an act of the people of New Jersey which
this House should set right. The people of
New .Jt‘l'S.'-y were here represented as well as
the Governor. ‘
JlIr. Gall)-rait/i. of Pennsylvania defended
the same position. I A
.llIr. Everett of Vt., followed, and took
sides against the clerk of tihe House. _ “
