Of Interest lo the Public.
THE CONNEL MAGICAL PAIN EXTRACTOR.
We take the liberty of presenting to the people the following
list of gentlemen of the highest respectability and standing in socie-
ty who have witnessed personally the wonderful effl-cisofConners
Magical Pain Extractor and in all sinccniy and candor earnestly
solicit them to use it in their families or see it applied to some of
thtir sufleiing neighbors; and if they are then convinced as they as-
suredly will be ir they use it or see it used of its extraordinary ef-
fects and enlireinnocency in any case weaFkofthem to speak of
it should duty and feelings of humanity prompt them todo so.
We assure them solemnly that sympathy for human sufle-mg in-
duces at least in part our earnest solicitations that a simple trial
should be madein any affection named below. We think it not im-
pudent or too much to say that nothing like it or in any degree so
cfTrclual has ever been discovered in medicine externally.
They will please observe it is no "sovereign remedy for all com-
plaints" but only intended for external applications in he following:
burn! scalds frosted parts chilblains chafe chaps teller pimple
blotch.felon ulcer sprains erysipelas cuts bruises ear and tooth-
ache mumps sore throat whitlows piles ringworm salt rhcam
barber's itcn eruption sore eyes and lidp weak sight eoro lip
l-mvrvssEs
punctures biUsand warts fever pains tender feet inflammatory
rheumatism tic doular reaux ague in face and breast feversores"
old burn scars prickly heat inflamed skin broken breast sore nip-
ples rough hands blister turfaces. dressing for blisters white swel-
lings coin in wounds sore corns Geneva sores small pox marks.
Though we have named numerous affections experience has
taught us that they are not too n.any. It will be necessary to know
inai mis arucie is ineoniyone we can recommend ; but mubt cau-
tion against some imitations that we have reason to believe are of no
use but injurious. We will present it to the poor who have actual
need of it. We may add the names of but a few gentlemen of the
thousands who have tested its virtues or witnessed its effects.

They have 110 cause to advance w iieh is not common to every good
citizen ; and the course they have" prescribed to themselves will they
conlidf ntly believe be approved by every patriot m the several quar-

solely upon the manner and spint in which they shall disciiarge
their dunes as conductors of a public journal.
In the editorial department politics will not be regarded as the
science of partuan jugglery by which the temporary success of a
faction may be secured or the personal advantnceofiheasnirantnro-
moted; but rather as a code of principles which ought to be obscr- i
ved lor the preservation ot our tree institutions and tne maintenance
of a firm efficient and benificent government.
The undersigned begin their career wholly untrammelled. All
public measures acts and nroceodinirs. whether eveeunvo or Ipm'sln.
