NeW YORK HERALD. New York, Thursday, June 20, 1844. — Foreign News, It is curious that the AGadiadid not arrive at Bos- ton on Tuesday. She was then out fourteen days and therefore overdue. We have every reason to suppose that she arrived there sometime yester- day. ifshe did we shall issue an Extra Herald early this morning. ‘The Demooratic Meeting at Castle Garden. We give in another column a full and accurate report of the proceedings at the great musterof the Democrats of this city last evening at Castle Gar- den. The meeting was very large, and so far as numbers went, a very imposing one. But it was characterised by much of that remarkable apathy which distinguished the ratification meeting in the Park some time since. Any spectator who could recail the tremendous displays of enthusiasm at «meetings of this party ia former days, would hardly have recognised in the large, tame, respectably quiet multitude in Castle Garden, a gathering of the great democratic party which was wont to ut- ter its voice in tones of thunder. ‘Nor is it at all difficult to account for this apathy on the part of the great mass of the people. The Whig meetings exhibit the same curious and very remarkable absence of enthusiastic feeling. They have been indeed a little more lively and vigorous than that of their opponents ; but atill they have hada great deal more of decent dullness than in days ot yore. Why is this? ‘The honest truth of the matter is, that the people have been so thoroughly humbugged by both parties—have been 80 completely deceived by both parties—have had their disgust so effectually excited against both parties, that they have at length came to the sensible, just, enlightened, and philosophical conclusion, that, after all, this business of Presi- dent-making is not by aay means so vastly profit: ble or important as to demand the same expendi- ture of exertion, and shouting, and hurraing, and swearing, and fighting, and enthusiasm, as they had been in the habit of bestowing upon it. Then again, the business and prosperity of the country are re- viving, no thanks to the politicians; nay, in spite of their oftentimes foolish legislation. This adds strength to the conviction of the foily of great po- litieal excitement which begins to fasten itself on the public mind. Great numbers went to this meeting out of curi- osity to hear Silas Wright, who, contrary to the anticipations of many, did appear, and did speak. His explanations were interesting and somewhat amusing. He makes out a fine case—a very fine case, indeed. The only misfortune is that his de- clarations on his reception of the news of Polk’s nomination, that Mr. Van Buren had been basely sacrificed—that he had been duped—and that he, Mr. Silas Wright, would expose the intrigues which had defeated his nomination, are somewhat too fresh in our recollection to allow the full effect of Mr. Wright’s very satisfactory explanations, and very warm professions of delight at Mr. Polk’s nomination, as expressed at Castle Gardea last evening. So then, this meeting has not altered materially the complexion of affairs in the Democratic camp here, as presented at the former meeting in the Park. It is evident that there is a lack of enthu- siasm. But he would travel a little too fast, who would, therefore, argue that the Democratic pariy here will not make a hard fight. That they will give battle firmly and unitedly to their opponent, we cannot doubt, and as we have repeatedly said, the contest willbe one of the severest ever witnessed in this country—and Heaven knows we have had some tolerably well-fought fields. ‘Tae Evection or Mempers or Next Conaress. —The very chiefest of the deceptions practi ed by the partizans of botn factions, is the constant exag- geration of the importance of the Presidential elec- tion. Now the importance of the election of Mem- bers of Congress, and of the/State Legislatures,who elect the United States Senators, is of infinitely greater account than the decision of the Presiden- tial contest. To the office-seekers, indeed, to thore miserable creatures who practice all the low div- reputable acts of partizanship for a living, the Pres idential election is a matter of some importance, inasmuch as it determines their chances for sharing in the distribution of the spoils. But to the people —to the nation at large—it is a matter of trivial importance who occupies the Presidential chair, provided the legislative halls are filled with honest, efficient, and upright men. The necessity of a more earnest and genera) at- tention on the part of the masses of the people to the choice and election of Members of Congress instead of permitting themselves to be deluded by the cry of interested partizans in favor of one or other of the Presidential candidates, is very well illustrated by reference to the conduct of the last Congress. The conntry has seen how matters ot the utmost importance to the best interests of the people have been entirely neglected, and mea- sures of the most obvious utility been thrown overboard, whilst the public time and money have been squandered in protracted squabbles and intrigues with respect to the nomination of Presi- dential candidates. Look for instance, at the :nan- ner in which the great subject of Post Olfice Re- form has been treated. This was a measure de- manded by the universal voice of the people. Jt was one which would have conferred incalculable benefits on the country, in the extension and in- crease of social intercourse—the transmission of intelligence—the diffusion of knowledge—and the greatly extended facilities in conducting ali the de- partments of business, Yet not the slightest con- cession was granted to the rightous demands of the people. The Post Office Department exerted all its influence against the proposed reform, and succeed- And what was the ground on which this oppo- sition was made te the wishes of the whole people? Why, that a reduction in the postage rates would be detrimental to the revenue of the country. And this at a time when it was matter of boasting thai asurplus revenue was rapidly accumulating! A more impudent, insolent aad iniquitous disregard of the sense of an totelligent people was never ex- hibited than that manifested by the department and Congress on this subject What has been the consequence of this oppres- sive and unjustifiable conduct of Congress? Why, the post office department is threatened with com- plete disorganization. By a recent decision inthe United States Circuit Court, at Boston, in the case of Hatch, it appears that as the law exists at pre- sent, independent private post office establishments ed. Tue Bisnor Huaues C~ tering upon the varRovErsy.—Before en- id -~ material part of this curious con- -wasy, We have been asked whether we intend to republish Col. Stone’s reply to Bishop Hughes. We have already republished the Bisphop’s two letters, “after a fashion,” as the Tribwne chooses to express it, though what he means, we cannot for the life of us discover. We published them in de- tached parcels, like the Tea Company’s young hy- son, with an appropriate label on each, and possibly the Bishop’s critical acumen led him to alledge the same thing of the publication of his letters word for word in the Herald, that he did of the report of his speech in Carroll Hall, for it is quite probable that as much discrepancy existed between his epis- tles as published in the Courier and the Herald, as there did between the report of his speech in the Freeman’s Journal and the report in the Herald. However, in reference to this matter we mean to be perfectly fair and impartial towards all parties. Our object is to restore the benevolent aud pious feel- ings of the age, and to bring back men’s minds to that tone and temper which are necessary for the full enjoyment of the free and liberal institutions of this country. We shall therefore probably repub- lish Colonel Stone’s letters as svon as we can, ul- though we think that in justice the aforesaid Col. is bound to print our reply. We shall also publish the reply of the Journal of Commerce, and after ha- ving disposed of all that preliminary matter, we shall at once enter on our review of the Bishop’s conduct and movements, and give certain opinions about the position and progress and prospects o! Catholicity in this country, which may be new to some of our readers. Our personal acquaintance with the Catholic faith and church will enable us to do this with accuracy and effect. We were born a Catholic. We were educated a Catholic. All ourancestors were Cath- olics. All our connections are Catholics. We have had Bishops and Pnests, and dignitaries of the highest and lowest class in our lineage. But we must say that Catholicity as known to us, with a good many curious features, in some respects dif- fersvery widely from the Catholicity inculcated and practised and paraded to the world by Bishop Hughes. There is, indeed, agreat difference in tholicity in different countries ; but Irish Cathol| city is the worst kind of Catholicity, because it is mixed and mingled with party feeling as exem- plified in O’Connell, and may be ca!led O’Connel! Catholicity. We would sooner have French Catho- licity, or Italian Catholicity, or Spanish Catholici- ty, or any sort of Catholicity, sooner than O’Con- nell Catholicity. Eeyrrian Antiquities and Mopkrn Cuniosiqixs. —Some time ago the newspapers were full of com- plimentary allusions to aseries of Lectures on the antiquities of Egypt by Mr. Gliddon, an antiqua- rian from that part of the globe. The tragedy of Egyptian history and antiquities, was followed up recently by a very amusing afterpiece, in the shape of a statement by the same philosopher, describing sundry magnetic manipulations to which he had been subjected by a kind and attentive Egyptian traveller of the name of Cooley. Since this last development, we have been expecting to see th: scene of action changed to some court, and before some jury, in order that the public might have the full benefit of Egyptian antiquities, with modern curiosities. But we have been disappointed thus far. Pray, what is the matter?) Where is Mr. Gliddon? Why don’t he bring forward his case? Can’t his friends of the New World elucidate this mystery ? Recaus or Sir C. Metcatr.—There is a rumor rife that the present Governor General of Canada, SirC. Metcalf, is to be recalled. Although the fact is not yet apparently announced, there are more reasons than one togive itcredence. Whatev- er turns up, Sir Charles has nothing to gain and a vast deal to lose by his retention of office, and he should be already convinced that the Canadians are full willing to cry quits with the policy that he io pledged to. Sir Charles is a “fine old English gen- tleman” whe will never be able to inhale with comfort the Canada atmosphere. A certain breeze from the Souta agitates it. Let him go home by all means. PLeasant—very !—It seems that the security to be given by the Collector, to be appointed, is three huadred thousand dollars, and it must be of the most undoubted character, too. Hecannot convey or alienate any property while his bondsare uncan- celled. It was only very recently that Mr. Morgan was released from his, and he had the supreme sa- tisfaction of serving Uncle Sam in that capacity eleven days! This certainly is consolatory to can- didates in petto. Gorne To THE Country.—Now that the warm weather is with us, every person who can afford, and many who can’t, are hurryiag to the country— some to the mountains, some to the plains, some to the sea-shore, and some to the springs. During the last few days, we learn that vast numbers of fashionable people have left the city, and crowds may be expected to go day after day, in the steam- boats and other modes of conveyance from the city. Saratoga is rapidly filling up. The United States Hotel has already a large number of rooms en- gaged, and Congress Hall is also filling up fast. Saratoga will be very gay this season. Sharon Springs—one of the most heavenly places in the country—is attracting many of the sick and wearied with a wicked world, and also a plentitu! sprinkling of those who are only beginning to sip of the delights of this carnal abode. The numerous pleasant houses on Staten Island will be unusually gay this season. The Clifton House at the Narrows is one of the most agreeable summer resorts in the Union, It is kept in firs rate style by Pieris, and the company is very select. New Brighton ig also a very pleasant place, and will as usual attract its full compliment of visiters. “ Long Island’s sea-girt shore” will attract great numbers to breathe the fresh breezes of the ocean, perfumed by the wild flowers scattered over the green tulls. Hamilton IHov is filling up very rapidly. Itis one of the most delicious spots to be found on this side of Paradise. Coney Island is another charming sea side resort, and the beach is remarkably well adapted for bathing. Long Branch—Schooley’s Mountain—Belmont .Jall— and various other charming resorts are attracting crowds, and ef them we shall have occasion soon to speak more particularly. From Jamaica anp Hayt1 —By the Mary Averill, Baker, arrived last night frem Jamaica, we have papers and verbal intelligence to the 30th inst — may be erected all overthe country. It is certain that the people cannot and will not submit much longer to the present inefficient, burdensome and unjust post office system This v.ew of one important public measure is alone sufficient to exhibit the importance of regar- ding the election of members of Congress with more interest, President making is a business profitable only to office beggars Let the people awake to a full perception of their interest. [tis the election of (he great representative body which affects their interests, their pockets, and their wel- fare a Powrrios ann Patwos.—The Tyler men and Ty- ler organs are the most facetious in the world.— The party does not number in this city a corporal’s guard, including all that, like the man in the para- ble, they can pick up about the hedges and ditches, and yet they are quarrelling at a most terrible rate The organ the other morning was excrutiatingly pathetic, erying out at the top of its voice, “ Who will die in the ditch for Captain Tyler? « Who will consent to be flayed alive, for Captain Tyler 1” “Who will cheerfully have his head chopped of for Captain Tyler ?” “ Who will be kind enoug) to be impaled alive for Captain Tyler?” Coll again You must call once or twice before ») 1d persoa ready and willing to be sacrificed to Uaptain ‘Tyler, Large numbers of mulatto retugees continued to arrive in Jamaica from Hayti—leaving behind them all of their own property, as well as that which had been consigned to them by foreigners (said to be a large amount), to the mercy of the contending negro factions. The U.S. sloop of war Preble had proceeded to Aux Cayes, to protect the inter- ests of the Americans. [t was reported that the Commercial Agent and British Consul hadj taken refuge on board the Preble. The negro chief Acaon had recently ordered large number of his prisoners to be publicly whipped, some of whom had died under the barbarous infliction—the sur- vivors being remanded to prison. The presence of the sloop of war Preble is the only protection now afforded to the lives and pro- perty of Americans in the island of Hayti. Itisto be hoped our government will immediately extend further aid The Jamaica Despatch predicts that the month of June will see the French Flag streaming from every Fort and Harbor in Hayti. The French Ad- miral is now at anchor, at Port au Prince, quietly watching the progress of events. Avrams 1x Cupa.—The packet ship Hellespon arrived yesterday from Matanzas with advices to the 6th inst. On that day the conspirators were taken from prison to undergo trial. Tax Avoxtrionists in THe Freup.—Amidst the greater noise and swaggering of the two adult parties the liberty party has been overlooked, its move- ments lost sight of, and its influence made of no account; but if ‘their names are not enrolled in the records of the capitol,” they are determined that their glories shall not be extenuated,” and although omitted in the war of words, they have still pluck enough to take their share in those great political events which are at hand. In the Albany Weekly Patrict of Wednesday, appears a notable manilesto of this school of poli- ticians, in the form of an address “to the liberty press in the United States,” and signed by Alvan Stewart, on behalf of the ** National Liberty Com- mittee,” It is intended, like the blast of a trum, pet, to summon into action all good and true Abo- litionists, “to secure and defend the conquests they have already made from the legion of slave- ocracy,” and also “to proscribe the war against the combined powers of slaveholders and their apo- logists, so as to make new aggressions and effect further deliverance by unchaining the minds of our deceived and abused countrymen.” This elaborate epistle enters into a very erudite paraphrase on the constitution of this Common- wealth, but doth not give utterance to anything very new in doctrine, or which has not frequently been before set forth. The whole forte of the arti- cle seems directed to prove that slavery is incom. patible, and at variance with the Constitution; that the apologists or defenders of slavery, as such, vir- tually say ‘it was intended for the protection of the strong, and destruction of the weak,” by those who framed it, but whose intention was so wicked that they were ashamed to put it on paper, and ther fore left the word “slavery” out ‘of the in- strument. Now without any wish to enter into this almost thread-bare subject, we may be at liberty to state, that the doctrine contended tor at the Anti-Slavery Convention held in New York last May, was quite different ; and more than that, at direct issue with this view of slavery. It was held at the Conven- tion that tne Constitution of the United States was an imperfect one, because it toleraied slavery, anc for that reason it was a matter of duty to refrain from the exercise of the franchise conferred by it, until it was abrogated and substituted by a better The great manifesto says no such thing; it argues on the preservation of its excellence, on its being essentially antagonistic to slavery, and that the clear intention of its tramers was directly what therein is stated—to secure to all persons (that is, human beings, with natural or acquired rights) freedom in the pursuit of life, liberty, and happi ness. Which of these two readings of the consti- tution is the correct one, it is not for us to say, noi shall we apply to the two opposing sections of the liberty men, in the hopes that they may arguc among themselves—the poet’s distich— “The world’s a wood where most mistake their way, Tho’ by a different path each goes astray.” It is unnecessary to further enter upon the argu- ments used agaiust slavery in the address under consideration, with which most readers are ac- quainted. But the following paragrapit is worthy of notice as pointing out the previous part occupied by the Liberty party: sie «The Liberty party now occupies this high ground of vindicating the Con-titution from the criminal calumny heaped upon it and upon the honor of its framers and adopters, by the falsehoods of slave- holders and apologists—the Whig and Democratic parties. Slavery has overshadowed, disgraced and nearly ruined the most magnificent country on the face of the globe. Liberty men, to th: rescue of the blood-bought treasure of the revo lution—the Federal Constitution.” The liberty manifesto calls loudiy upon all goo men and true to prevent the admission of Texa: into the Union—to bequeath the battle against slu very to their children’s children—to distribute twer ty tracts a week until November next, and then t attend and vote the liberty ticket; and it adds, “No matter if mountains bestride our path, w will perforate where we cannot go over or aroun: We have eternal justice as our ally, the world fo. our endorser, and the Almighty God as the Captai of our salvation ; and long before we have wander ed half of forty years in the wilderness of conflic', the emancipated of Georgia, Virginia and Florid:, shall shout and sing the treeman’s song, in whic! Tennessee, Louisiana and ‘Texas shall join i chorus.” rs cs . To accomplish all this, a course of energetic ac pon py oumaeariee ran a vigorous determinatic: to hold te the uni i rity re: solved Soe Renee eee ied, interes thes propose to cut each State into sections, and send ; wagon load of tracts into each State; to encour age all who can sing to do so in the persuasion tha! ‘our Liberty song, well sung, will do more to pre- pare the heart for the reception of their divine priv ciples, than the most spirited oration, or the mosi compact argument.” j : _ As friends to harmony, and having some music in our souls, we wish them success, and hereb) bespeak a couple of copies of the song book—bui no tracts needed. 5 If the Liberty men go on as they talk of, Jo: Smith had need to loox sharp. The next contes: will be a “ whapper.” Couiector at New Yorx.—The time is com: when Collector Curtis will receive the long expect- ed walking-ticket. We understand that Gov. Van Ness, a statesman of eminence, and of unimpeach- able integrity, formerly Governor of Vermont, anc subsequently Minister to Spain, will succeed Mr. Curtis. He is able to give the necessary security, $200,000, and his appointment will meet with ac- ceptance. We therefore give a gentle hin: to all clerks anc attachés of the Custom House, to be in readiness, for the hour of their departure very likely drawet) nigh, and they know not the day nor the how when they may have to march. We should net be surprised if at least two thirds of them shoul: find their names entered upon the black slate with- in a few weeks. And when the purification shall take place, auc the grand exorcism be made, we shall give a pictu- resque description of the evacuation. It is expect- ed to exceed even the distinguished military com pany which had the honor to follow the redoubta- ble Jack Falstaff. DistincuisHep Arrivas.—At the Astor How are the Hon.

It is called the “ New England Guard.” Navau.—Henry Eagle, late Lieutenant Com- manding the U. 8. schooner Shark, arrived in this city last night from Panama, via Jamaica—having been absent nearly four years. Lieut. E. left the Shark at Panama May 12th, to sail in a few day: for the coast of Peru. Lame Liawr.—Now that our corporate father: are about trying a plan of lighting the streets wit! oil by contract, let them extend it a little farther and estimate the expense of some of the spiri) asses. [t only wants an ingenious mechanic to irect his attention to it, and a cheap lamp will be made to burn either spirit gas or camphene, which can be put ivto our present street lamps, and + quantity of light aflorded exceeding the oil lamp: by all odds, and at one half the expense. At leas proposals and estimates should be taken. Any thing is better than the present miserable bate of street glimmering. “New York Historical Soctet; 7.

Other nominations were then made, and after a short re- cess, the Executive Committee presented a second report recommending the last gentlemen nominated : Mr. Jay moved to lay this report on the table until the next meeting of the Society—on the ground that,althoug]. the letter of the latelyamendedConstitution did not prevent the election of members on the same evening with thei’ nomination, there were the strongest grounds for believ ing that this was not the intention of the Executive Com- mittee, who revised that instrument, nor of the Seciety who adopted it on their recommendation By the former Constitution, no person could be elected until the nex meeting after his nomination. ‘The framer of the nev. clause, who was present, had admitted that he had no thought of abolishing or changing that provision. ‘This was doubtless the case with the other revisers; and Mr Jay expressed his strong objection te so wide a departur: by the Society, particularly ina thinly attended specia! meeting, Yrom a rule of so much importance, and so long sanctioned, when their only authority for such departur: was avowedly founded on an accidental omission or « clerical error.

We annex the intelligence they brought. ‘The Petrita brought over Senor J. Gonzalez dela Vega bearer of de itches for Gen.

The Diario of the 19th ult. copies long string of articles against annexation, which have ap- pevred in the journals of the United States which are 0). posed to it.

In a few words, Col Thompson Eas not bee: successtul in his mission, the Mexican Government hav- ing repeated its former declaration, that if Texas is annex. ed, she, Mexico, declares war. Verbally we learn that the bearer of despatches spoker of above came ashore at a point down town about 1 o’cloc} yesterday, and in season to take the mail boat for Mobil: 1 Censor.de Vera Cruz of the 24sinst contains an adver. tisement to the effect that the Petrita was to depart nex day for a port in Tobasco; but it would seem that she wa: afterwards chartered in haste by the officers of the Mexi- can Government, and that the messenger came on with ai! speed. We know nothing of the nature of his despatches but they must be important. We shall probably be able t« give further news on the arrival of the Neptune from Gal- veston, as previous to her departure the Poinsett had in al! probability arrived at that port. ‘The steamer Poinsett, Capt. Semmes, arrived here, the Mobile Herald of the 12th inst , from Vera Cruz, poner for Mexico, the bearer of which passed on yes terday with all haste to Washington.

His Honor the Mayor enters into all these temperance movements with great zeal, and we trust that we may seon see all the low groggeries of the city closed up forever, and oiher important temperance reforms introduced.

The bust may be equally good ; the stature equally command- ing ; the neck equally swan like ; or the eye equally bril- liant ; but what aval all these charms, unless to them is snperedded the more entrancing beauty of a clear and transparent skin? It is related of fair Rosamond, that the clearness of her complexion (especially about the throat) was such, that the course of the “ruby wine” might be distinetly traced through the transparent windpipe ! Now Dr Gouraud will not undertake te convert every dark-skinned lady into a fair Rosamond, but he docs most positively assert that a free use of his Italian Medicated ‘Soap will produce the nearest approach to that “divine clearness” which it is possible for mere science to produce. Indeed its effects are so wondrous as to appear almost magical its application, pimples, eruptions, freckles, sunburns, &e &c., vanish like mist before the morning sun!

And itis becansethey do this that they have been so steadily sought after by allclesses of our citizens who have required medicine. And it is because of the power Brandreth Pills are now known to possess as health restorers, that render: 80 popular. They crreall affections, simply because they make the blood pure—abstract out of it those qualities which produce disease, and give to it those qualities which produce health, Now every solid part of the human frame is made from the blood and the food we eat is converted into blood to supply the waste our bodies are continually sustaining. So in the ordinary course of nature we manufacture our entire bodies in about nine yefrs from the food taken into our stomachs. Suppose the blood made in this stomach is unsound, impure, occasioned by some cause or t may refer to the preceding generation ; no mat- ter, we make impure blood, and if 80 cannot be healthy Or' suppose the air we have lived in for some time has been loaded with matters detrimental to health, or our food for a lone peed has been of an unwholesome kind,or that the mind has been much troubled—ior grief, anxiety, or great attention to any particular polat is sure to occa sion bad effects on the bl ‘Any of these causes exist- ing, good blood cannot be applied to the body. But let Brandreth’s Pills be used daily under these cir- cumstances, in doses of from two to six pills, or asthe case shall determine. What is their effect? It is to carry off the impure matters from the blood: leaving only the good to renew every part of the body. What was un- sound, now becomes sound, and the stomach #oon gets into 80 healthy a condition that even bad air or unwholesome food for @ time are unable to injure the health materially. Even when the climate or food contmue unhegithy, the occasional use of the Brandreth Pills will separate the impure parts and cause their expulsion, leaving what is good to supply life and strength to the body When the bones are diseased, when every . ...ifieation ofthe frame is out of order, the Brandreth Fille will, in nineteen cases out of twenty, curr. Remember that the body can be entirely remade from the food, bo all; and aided by this most beneficent medicine, of the time it takes in the ordinary course of nature. In from two to four years an entirely new healthy body can be exchanged forthe unsound, the diseased, the misera. ble one, The slowness or quickness of the change alto- gether depending upon the effect the Brandreth Pill made to produce; which effect can be graduated j the patient pleases. No possible injury can result from this; nothing but good can follow. kinquire the effect of Brandreth ‘s Pills among your unprejudiced friends; will hear sufficient to satisfy you that there ix no making the trial, and that you will not be doing yourself justice withont it When your hood is once rune, nothing in the shape of food will hardly come amiss; nothing will sour upon your stomach; you may eat pies, or-anything in reaton, und the greater variety of food the better blood is made. All who have wenk stomachs, who are dyspeptic, or in icted in body, should without delay resort to ~which will indeed strengthen the life principle, and by perseverance with them, entirely renew the whole body; the materials now in it good will be kept #0; those bad, displaced and removed.

The active principle of the Ltr is thus secured, the same as it is in the living vege- table. The public should be cautious of medicines recommend- ed in advertisements stolen from me. A sure test of genuine Brandreth Pills:—Examine the box of pills; then look at the certificate of agency, whove engraved date must be within the year, which every au- thorised agent must pessesa; ifthe three labels on the box agree with the three labels on the certificate, the pills are true—if not, they. are false, The pilla ore sold at 26 centa per box, by Mree Wilkinson, 412 Cherry street; No. 241 Broadway, 274 Bowery, and 241 Hudson street, New York; Mrs. Booth, 6 Market street, Brooklyn; and by 20,000 agents in the Uni- ted States and Canada, whose certificates and pills should be carefully cxamined before purchase # made.
