. I well remember on my first landing, about four years previous, of im- GRANT THOREITRN. 113 bibing a wonderful antipathy against him and all patent medicines, their makers and their sellers throughout the world. The incident was this : I stepped from the good ship Providence, (in which I had crossed the Atlantic, ) on shore at Governeur's wharf, about 7 a. M. , came sauntering up the middle of Wall-street — there were few carts then to ob- struct the way — arriving at the old Federal Hall, wh...ere now stands the Custom House, I observed a placard about a yard square and headed with let- ters as large as my hand — Scotch Ointment for the Itch. I was confounded ; I rubbed my eyes and read it again : — said I, It's an abominable lie ; for I never heard of such an ointment in Scotland, nor did I ever see any use for it there. I stood and looked and reasoned more calmly on the matter. Said I to myself. Well, this man must make a living by selling this stuff to somebody ; but it is impossible he could live by rubbing the hides of what few Scotchmen are here, for I have not met one to-day as I know of, I therefore concluded that here must be collected, whether homespun or imported, a group of dirty fellows, all scratching and itching for something, otherwise he could not live amongst them.
