The last three years of that lime my Bufferings defy de scription. I was confined to bed unable to nelp my self, and at last given up by my physicists and friends n despsir of ever gaining my health; in fact, for a time before I commenced using Dr. Uphsm's Elec tuary, I was entirely speechless, and my burial clothes were made. But under the beneucent mercies ol Providence, and the use of Dr. Upham's Electuary, though an old ma if, I have the pleasure of stating the fact to the public that my health ia now good, and I hope to live many years, if it is Uod s will, to mske known the virtues of Dr. Upturn's Electuary, and to recommend it to my afflicted fellow creatures. It helped me beyond the expectations of all who knew my case, and I can only say to others, that it s in my opinion, the best medicine in the world lor Piles, or any other disease of the bowels ; and it they will use it according to the directions, 1 will myself warrant a cure, in every care.

Indeed, they have almost abandoned all other reme dies for the usfca! diseases of the lungs; and a single case has not yet been reported in which it has failed to give satisfaction and relief.

The day after the Examination, the following pa per was handed to me by some friends, with the re quest that I would give it publicity : The undersigned having been in attendance on an Examination of the Pupils ef the Warrenton Fe male Seminary, an Institution under the superinten dence and direction of the Hon, Daniel Turner, lake great pleasure in testifying to the more than ordina ry proficiency of the Pupils in the various branches of Female Education. The Examination was a ve ry thorough one, and comprises the extensive course of study as set forth in the published Prospectus t f the Academy. And the undersigned were pleased to observe, that whilst the lighter accomplishments bad received a full share of attention, .as exhibited in an interesting display of vocal and Instrumental Music, and in beautiful specimens of Drawing, Paint ing and Embroidery that the mote solid and prac tical Branches, especially those of Arithmetic, Alge bra, Geometry, Geography, Astronomy, aid Histo ry had been made prominent. The Examination in those branches, reflected high credit, both on Teachers and Pupils ; and in saying that, they would by no means omit to state, that the same pro ficiency, that evidence of the same thorough teach ing, was exhibited in the examination on the various other branches comprised in the course of study.- And they believe they but feebly express the feelings and sentiments of the large and intelligent Auditory present on the occasion, when they say that they were never before present at an Examination, more thorough and more satisfactory. - Mr. Turner, himself, a Graduate of the United States Militaiy Academy, at West Point, is a Teach er in the School, and is assisted by the best Instruc tors. The undersigned, therefore, take great pleas ure in recommending the School to public patron age, well satisfied that in the high character of the excellent Principal of the Institution, no Parent need desire a surer guarantee that a child commit ted to such care will receive every mark of kindness and attention.
