We would respectfully solicit our friends and the public to call and exam ine the assortment for themselves; and we would especially invite the attention of Planters to our unusually large stock of BLANKETS . WELCH PLAINS, NEGRO KERSEYS and LINSEYS , and low priced FLANNELS for servants, nov 12 PROSPECTUS 7 For publishing by subscription, in Augusta, Ga., an Agricultural paper, to be styled GLEANINGS OF HUSBANDRY. “Who makes two blades cf grass grow where one grew before, dees more for his country, than an Alexander or a Bonaparte.” AT the solicitalion of many friends, the subscri ber has consented to become the editor and put lisher of a periodical exclusively devoted to Ag riculture, Gardening, and (he other branches of Husbandry in general. Its object will be, in plain style, to communioate useful informetien to the cul tivator, whether of the vine or the flower, of vege tables or plants, of Puds, grapes or trees, as the mulberry and all kinds of orchard trees, with the best manner of planting them ; furnishing suitable hints fur the improvement of the various soils, breeds of cattle, and other stock, with the treatment of the diseases to which they are liable, and the management of bees and silk worms The editor will endeavor to illustrate the impor tant principles upon which the art and science of agriculture is founded, and to introduce an economi cal system of the labors, in the garden or vineyard, in the field, meadow or cocoonery, that may be best adapted to the seasons, climate and latitude in which we reside, and which in most respects, differ greatly from the Middle, Northern and Eastern States. Os more than one million of Planters and Hor ticulturists in the Southern States, scarcely two out of a thousand have an opportunity of consult ing any agricultural works, and are wholly guided by casual observations upon the ways of their neighbors and ancestors; for they possess no means of learning the almost daily improvements that are making in their own particular branch of culture; neither can they become acquainted with the im proved varieties in trees, fruits, vines, flowers, grain and plants, which are continually introduced to onr notice from every portion of the habitable globe, nor w ih the various improvements and new inventions it; the implements of tillage. The pub lication shal - contain a full account of all these that are likely tofbenefit our pari of the country, and increase inte ligence, v irtue, happiness and prosper ity at every dearth in the southern States. It’shall be free from all sedarian or political views, wholly governed by Southern feelings and princi ples ; our endeavor will be to render it serviceable to the youngand the aged—to “ Heaven’s last best gift to man,' nea in her teens and to the sturdy Farmer— them ot the proper season, which from Experience in our seclion of the Union may have found most congenial to commit their seeds to the toil —to prune their vines and trees —to transplant their tender shoots and flowers —to engraft or bud theirs irnbs and trees, and turn th| “maiden’s blush” into the charming “moss” or femonthly rose,” with the best manner of harvestiit* and preserving their crops and pro duce. We shallfiy no means overlook the great South ern staples. and Rice, for upon these, 1 trie informationf’an be obtained from Northern publi cations. From the ftind promises, tendered by friends to the underti king, valuable original contributions may be antj ipated ; and other correspondents are respectfullyf«olicited to communicate any informa tion that raa| be interesting or beneficial to others, relating to tleir mode of culture ; as facts collected from the tiU rs of our own soil, with their obsei va liums and rt aaiks will be highly appreciated by the editor; and since the happiness and comtort of a country mai ily depend upon its agriculture, in fur nishing use il intorraation to the community, con tributors wi i afford the brightest evidence of their zeal and pai iotism. TERMs.-f I’he paper will be issued monthly, on a sheet con fining sixteen very large quarto pages, (jarae size the “Albany Cultivator,”) at the very moderate pice of One Dollar, payable in all cases in advancej The price being so small, no num ber will be lent to any person on credit.

COHEN’S RHEUMATIC EMBROCATION.— Dr. M. B. Cohen, proprietor of the universally celebrated lotion for the cure of Chronic and Infla matory Rheumatism. Sprains, Lumbago, Pains and Swellings in the Joints, &c., known as Cohen’s Rheumatic Embrocation, begs respectfully to refer all persons suffering from these disea-es to the thousands of cures that his preparation has accom plished, and to the numerous strange and highly respectable testimonials which have, from time to time, been published to that effect in New Aork and other places. So certain and searching is this Liniment in its operations, even in cases of long standing, and of an obstinate nature, that it has never been known to fail. The follow 7 ing letters are selected from hundreds of others of a like de scription. It will be proper that all persons using the Liniment, see that it is accompanied with the signature of the proprietor in his own hand writing. Since the introduction of this remedy to the public, various empirics have been palmed upon the coun try, Nostrums and Lotions, and Liniments, and “Infallible Rheumatic Mixtures,” all of which be ing a compound of ignorant’quacks, are calculated, more or less, to injure the system rather than re move any complaint. In proof of the estimation in which the Embrocation is held by respectable men in the medical profession, as well as by the thousands of persons who have been effectua ly cured of Rheumatism, the subscriber has subjoined letters from a few who are well and popularly known to the entire society in New Aork, and whose opinions and professional judgments are universally esteemed. M. B. COHEN, No. Hudson street, N. Y. New York, Aug. 3, 1838, Dear Sir —Having frequently witnessed the ap plication of vour Rheumatic Embrocation,and tie beneficial effects arising therefrom, it affords me pleasure to state that I most cheerfully recommend it as an invaluable remedy, and the best known for the cure of that painful and distressing complaint, either in its acute or chronic form. WILLIAM F PIATT, M. D. Late Corresponding Secretary of the Medical Soci ety of the City and county of New York, To Dr. M. B. Cohen. Dr. M. B. Cohen—ln reply to your request as to my opinion of your Rheumatic Embrocation, I most willingly acknowledge that I have used it in my practice, and found it an invaluable remedy as a palliative Liniment in cases of Rheumatism. CHAS. A. VAN ZANDT, M. D. New A r ork, April 20, 1839. I certify that I have used Dr. M. B. Cohen’s Rheumatic Embrocation, and have found it a most useful adguvant in the treatment of this painful disease, and therefore hesitate not to recommend it in all cases of Rheumatism.

Nones, Ist Lieut, of the Revenue Cutter Alert, in the service of the United States, do certify that I was for five months afflicted w 7 ith the Inflamatory Rheumatism,and had every reme dy by advice of physicians, without any relief, and finally by advice of Dr. W. Rockwell, health offi cer at quarantine, I applied to Dr. M. B. Cohen, in the month of July, 183, for a bottle of his Rheu matic Embrocation, and after one week’s use of the specific, was entirely free from all pain, and was able to resume my place in the service.

DR. MILES’ COMPOUND EXTRACT OF TOMATO —a substitute for Calomel, and does not belong to the family of quack medicines; for the reason that the component parts are made known to the faculty, or any one else that may wish to know, by any of the agents keeping them for sale. Since this discovery so long and anx iously looked for, some one in almost the extreme North has advertised a Tomato Pill, purporting to be made from the stalk, a thing not more aosutu than for one to offer meal from the corn stalk, to say nothing of the difficulty of raising the Tomato so far North. Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the proprietor of the Tomato Pills (proper) for the great benefits of which, he holds himself bound, and in honor pledg ed to prove by their use, that they are all that they profess to be, and will do for otheis what they have done for such as mav have used them ; as this is a vegetable of great use, and value, it will doubtless be valuable information to families to know that the Yellow are just doubly as valuable as the Red Tomato, and produces twice as much of the hapatine, or active principle, and when used as a daily vegetable will be found to keep the system in much better condition than the other kind ; many will recollect with what trembling anxiety calomel has been given to children, and how they then wished for a substitute. It has long been known that the Tomato contained ca thartic principles, but not until of late was it ascertained that they contained alterative and diu retic properties. The Faculty embrace and use the preparation most cheerfully, for the reason that they know what it is Were it a patent mystery, they would be bound to reject the medicine, as they justly do the one thousand and one cure-alls of the day. If you wish to cleanse the system with a mild, sa.e anti-bilious medicine, use the Tomato Pill, of which a supply, we learn, will soon be in this city. We all know something about this. June IS ts Radical Care ol Hernia or Rupture, by Dr. Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses. THE subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug store of Messrs. J. J. R.obertson &Co., forthe treatment of Hernia or Rupture, by means of these ustly celebrated instruments. He has now used them for nearly a year, and, didnot delicacy forbid, he could name several persons who have been radi cally cured, of this truly distressing and dangerous affection, by the use of these Trusses, besides many others who are in a fairway of being entirely re lieved. The following is the language of the com mittee ot the Philadelphia Medical Society on the Radical Cure of Hernia. “ The instruments of Dr. Chase have effected the permanent and accurate retention of the in testines in every case of Hernia observed by the committee, without material inconvenience to the patient, and often under trials more severe than are usually ventured upon by those who wearother trusses; trials that would be imprudent with any other apparatus known to the committee.” “ The committee are induced by the foregoing conclusions to recommend, in strong terms, the in struments of Dr. Chase to the confidence of the profession, as the best known means of me chanical retention in hernia, and as furnishing the highest chances of radical cure.” The following is from the Southern Medical and Southern Journal, published in our own city. ” All must admit of the radical cure of hernia, and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses are decidedly the best yet invented to effect the object.” Persons from a distance can have the instruments applied, upon application at the office, and all ne cessary information given to enable them to adjust it themselves. The poor, who are laboring under this afflicting complaint, will be treated gratuitous ly upon presenting a certificate,from someresponsi ble person, of their pecuniary disability. The instruments are of all sizes, and applicable to every variety of reducible rupture. feb 20 F. M. ROBERTSON, M. D. O. COSBY’S DYSPEPTIC BITTERS. PERHAPS there is nothing more calculated to disgust the public eye than the innumerable advertisements ot nostrums that are constantly ap pearing in the public prints. All arc ready to ex claim, our souls are sick, our ears are pained with every day’s reports of ills and specifics. This state ot the public mind would seem to forbid any person of delicate mind from sending forth any new dis coveries in medicine, to the trial of th? public.— Still, motives of delicacy should not prevent us from making known real discoveries, which we are con fident will benefit our fellow men. This latter consideration has prompted the author of these bit ters to make them known. He know s they are high ly efficacious, for he himself, his wife, and many friends, have given them a thorough trial. He was himself a confirmed dyspeplic,so much, that even his recollection was gone. By using these bitters he has been restored to health. Mre. Cosby was troubled for many years,but was restored to health by the use of these bitters. This has been the case with many of his friends. Mr. Coshy in sending forth this advertisement, addresses those who know him. He has been for many years a resident ot Augusta, at which place he can at any lime bj consulted about the bitters. They are good in all cases of diseases of the digestive organs, the symp toms of which are indigestion, pain or oppression in the stomach from food, lossol appetite, flatulen cy, heart burn, giddiness in the head, pain in the side, shortness of breath, lassitude, general weak ness, disturbed sleep, &c The composiuon is en tirely Botanical, and has proved efficacious w hen many celebrated medicines had failed. In support of which he refers them to Freeman W. Lacy, she riff of Richmond count", and William T. Thomp son, editor of the Augusta Mirror, and he might re fer you to many others, but deems it unnecessary, as he is willing to place it on its own merits. All he asks is lor tnose who are afflicted with the dys pepsia to give it a trial. They can be had at T. IT. Plant’s book-store, Augusta, and of C>. Cosby himself, at the corner of Washington and Ellis-streets. nov 30 ly CINQ JOURS. or ' ANTI-BALSAMIC GONORRIKEAL SOLUTION, Warranted to cure in Five Days. P SHIIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so J long known, and used with such unparralleled success in the Canadas for the last 30 yeais, ap pears to need no panegyric. Its operation upon the human system is such that it invariably acts like a charm, for the relief and radical cure of a certain common and disagreeable “ills the flesh is heir to.” This prize obtains its own name from the certain success which has attended it through all of its trying circumstances, namely, “five days,”—the same success which followed it in a Northern lati tude still obtains in a more Southern. The formula or recipe was obtained at great expense, intrigue and hazard by M. Cheveres, from the celebrated Indian Chief Wabenothe, or Great Moon, whilst he, with others was pursuing the lucrative Fur bu siness in the North-west with the Indians. — Wabenoshe prized highly and use it with invariable success throughout his two tribes. Its known and valued virtues have already enriched to an almost incredible extent the children of this warlike prince, not only by actual sale of the article itself to in dividuals, but by parting with copies of his receipt at enormous prices to the Chief of every tribe of Indians in America, with a solemn promise to the Great Spirit, never to divulge the “art of its com position until he sleeps with his fathers,” although free to use it in their respective tribes, which places it in the hands of every Indian who rely w*ith, I may say, religious confidence on its cura ble powers. Below is a copy of the translation as near as it can be anglisized of the deed given by Wabenoshe, to M. CheveretjWhen he purchased the original recipe, and had twice assisted the Chief himself through the tedious manipulatory process of manufacture. Few white men would credit the length of time which is consumed in preparing the article for im mediate use. TRANSLATION. “I, Wabenoshe, Chief of the nations Ottowaand Chippewa, for the love and good feeling which I have for my white friend M. Cheveret, (for he has done many good things for me and my people,) I give to him my greatest cure for the bad sickness which my children have had sent among them as a punishment by the Great Spirit, and hope that in his hands it may do much good, and make him very rich.” Signed WABINOSIIEjhis X mark.

There are many families who have considered Sick Headache a con- ( s'litutional incurable lamiiy complaint* Dr. S. as sures them that they are mistaken, and labouring under distress which tney might not only alleviate, but actually eradicated by the us;- if his remedy. It is the result of scientific research,and is entirely of a different chaiacterfrom advertised patent medi cines, and is not unpleasant to the taste. HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS. The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s remedy lor this distressing compaint is every day gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment, That so much suffering should have existed for ages without any discovery of an effectual preventive, or cure, is truly a subject of much regret but Dr. S. row assures the public that such a remedy has been invented as will convince the moslcredulous. The vrinciples on w hich it acts are simple and plain. Itis an a milled fact that this complaint, whether called Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim arily from the stomach —those who think they have the Nervous Headache may rest assured that this organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that th° sys tem has become vitiated or debilitated, through the stomach, and that only through the same channel must they expects restoration of the natural and healthy functions ot the system. This object. Dr. Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to attain. The truth of this position cannot be controverted, and the sooner sufferers with the headache become convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering end in restoration of health, Dr. Spohn pledges his professional reputation on this fact. The remedy may be had of apothecaries generally throughout the United States. For sale by ANTONY & HAINES, No. 232 Broad-street, Augusta. mar 26 fjlilE great celebrity of this unrivalled ('ompo -8 sition,especially in the Northern States, leaves the proprietor but little need to say any thing in its favor: for it has been generally conceded to it, that it is beyond all comparison uie best remedy for ex ternal complaints that lias ever been discovered. Indeed ihe'speed and certainly of its operations, have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wouuds, corns, fever sores,chilblains, white swellings, biles, piles, spider and snake bites, &c. &c. , immediately yield to its superhuman influence. Thus, it prop erly applied it will remove an inveterate corn or break and heal a bile in five days, will allay and perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the most i desperate casesul white swelling that can be ima gined, have been destroyed by it m less than two months. In ihe bites of poisonous reptiles its effi cacy is truly surprising, and if applied in time, its powers of attraction are so wonderful that they will at once arrest the poison and thus prevent it from pervading the system. It is likewise greatly supe rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the chafed hack and limbs of horses—for tetters, ring worms, chapped lips—and in short, for every exter nal bodily evil that may fall to the lot of man or beast. The proprietor has received at least a thousand certificates, and other documents, in favor of his “ Specific Ointm nt,” upwards of a hundred of which were written by respectable members of the Medical Faculty.

In sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions w hit lows, piles, &c., it isnw universal recipe.

They have passed away from the hundreds that are daily launched upon the tide of experiment, and now stand before the public as high in reputation, and as extensively employed in all parts of the United States, the Canadas, Texas Mexico, and the Westlndies > as any medicine that has ever been prepared for the relief of suffering man. They have been introduced wherever it was found possible to carry them ; and there are but few 7 towns that do not contain some remarkable evidences of their good effects. The .certificates that have been presented to the propiietor exceed twenty thousand! upwards of live hundred of which are from regular practising physicians, who are the most competent judges of their merits. 1 Often have the cures performed by this medkin i been the subject of editorial comment, in variou newspapers and journals; and it may with truth be asserted, that no medicine of the kin 1 has ever re ceived testimonials of greater value thin are at tached to this. They 7 are in general use as a family medicine and there axe.lhousands of families who declare they re never satisfied until they have a supply always on hand.

The following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, by 7 a highly respectable Planter of Wake County 7 , No Ca.,March 3d, 1838: • Dr. Peters —Dear Sir, —By requestof your agent, Mr. Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting lire almost miraculous effects of your piPs; and I would add, that you may make use ol them, in connection with ray name, in any 7 manner y r ou deem proper, I speak of their merits from experience, as 1 and my family 7 have taken upwards of thirty boxes in three y r ears ; and so great a*e the benefits we have receiv ed from them in general, that I would rather pur chase them at ten dollars abox than have my house without them. I will not enumerate the afflictions they have relieved us of; but I can assure you they were many 7 , and of very opposite natures, which has fully proved to me that your medicine is a sim ple purifier of the system, and therefore equally 7 the enemy 7 of every 7 disease. I will mention one case. I have a sister who had been for a long pe riod severely afflicted with dropsy in the chest and was brought by it to the very verge of the grave. She was attended by the most eminent physicians that money could procure; hut all their efforts to restore her to health, or even to mitigate her suffer ings were fruitless ; and accordingly,we all consid ered her immediate death as inevitable. By good fortune, however, as she was in this situation, ex pecting every day to be her last, your pills were introduced into my 7 family, and so speedy and pal pable were their effects that three doses visibly re lieved her, and in less than three months she was perfectly 7 restored to health. This case, I and all who were witness of it, (but more especially 7 the suffering party,) considered to be the next thing to miraculous; and yet I could mention many 7 more of an equally desperate nature, in whicli your pills w 7 ere equally successful in rescuing the patients from the jaws of death. Need I add that the popu larity7 of your medicine amounts to enthusiasm in this section of the country ? But this I presume you know from the immense quantity you dispose of. I may 7 mention, however, that notwithstanding its general use, I never heard an individual complain of its effects. My residence is 12 miles from Ral eigh, on the road to Fayetteville. I am, with sen timents of regard, your ob’t servant. A. G. BANKS. To Dr. Peters, —Sir —For upward- of fifteen months, I have been cruelly afflicted with Fever and Ague; and during the time could find nothing— though I had applied to every thing that gave me any thing like permanent relief. At length, how ever, your pills were recommended to me, by 7 one of our best physicians, and I am most grateful and happy 7 in being able to add, that I had scarcely used two boxes when I found that they had restored me to perfect health. Since then, various members of my family have used them with equal success— and consequently I feel it my duty to apprise you of the fact, and to request of you to publish this certificate, as lam anxious to add my public testi mony7 to the almost miraculous virtues of your un rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours, THEODORE JAMES. Augusta, Ga,, Feb 10, 1839. Communication received from the eminent Dr. J, H. Irwin of Florence, Georgia: Dr. J. P. Peters —My Dear Sir—On the night of I the 11th Inst., I was called in great haste to the | house of a fellow ciazen, (Mr. Lee,) where I found I his son laboring under a most alarming attack of Cynanche Tracnealis (Cvonp) and apparently be yond the aid of remedy. By the greatest good for tune, however, I had in my pocket a broken box of your pills—four of which 1 administere !, with such immediate happy effect that in a few minutes my 7 patient was at ease, and out of danger. This case,in connection with my name ts at your ser vice—and I have the pleasure to be able to inform you that your inestimable medicine is in such great favor with the faculty here, that I believe there is not one of them who does not use it in his private ■ practice.

Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo gait, of Providence, R. 1., Dec. 17, 1838.—Peters’ pills are an excellent aperient and cathartic medi cine, those effects being produced by the differences i of the quantity 7 taken, and are decidedly superior to Lee’s, Brandreth’s or Morrison’s Pills. Extract from a letter by Dr. Hopson of Bangor, Me , Jan. 9, 1839. They are a peculiarly mild,yet efficient purgative medicine, and produce little, it any, griping or nausea. I have prescribed them with much success in sick headache and slight bil lious fever. Extract of a letter by Dr. Joseph Williams ol Burlington, Vt., July 9, 1837.—1 cordially recom mend Peters’ Pills as a mildly effective, and in no case dangerous, family medicine.

C., March 6, 1837.—F0r bilious fevers, sick head ache, torpidity of the bowels, and enlargement of the spleen, Peter’s Pills are an excellent medicine.

Y., June 3, 1836.—1 was aware that Dr. Peters was one of the best chemists in the United States and felt assured that he would some day (from his intimate knowledge of the properties of herbs and drugs) produce an efficient medicine, and I must acknowledge that his Vegetable Pills fully respond to my expectations. They are indeed a superior medicine, and reflect credit alike upon the Chemist the Physician, and the Philosopher. (.MECKtrsBCiiG CO. V-a.

They are a safe and mild aperient, being the best article of the kind I ever used. GEORGE C. SCOTT M. D. Extract of a letter from Dr. Scott of Baltimore, Dec. 17,1836.-1 am in the daily habit of prescri bing them, (Peters’Pills) and they in nearly all cases answered my purpose. I have discarded otliei medicines, some of them very good ones, in their favor. Chaulotte, IV. C., Jan. 1, 1837.

Until the appearance of the “ Lucina Cor dial, ’ (about three years since,) it was thought tliat the complaints,which if speedily overcomes,were beyond the roach ol human remedy, as for upwards J of a thousand years, they had baffled the wisdom I and ingenuity of the most profound physicians in I all pans ot the world. This Cordial, however, to j the great advantage of the human race,soon proved I itself to be the desideratum so long sought for; and accordingly, notwithstanding fie brief peri dof .is existence, it has required a celebrity so great, that h is eagerly inquired for throughout the civilized globe. Dr Magnin soon finding that the demand was so vast as io render a supply impossible, di». " posed of the recipe and right of sale, under übliga lions of secrecy, fur England, the United Stales f and othei countries, only preserving France and Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber po.s sessed himself of iheinvaluable secret; end now hastens togivethe inhabitants of his line of agency the benefiis of his speculation. “I e Cordial De Lucinc,” or, in English, “ the Lucira Cordial,” is a general invigoralor of the I human frame ! In all the various cases of languor, lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing reme dy; as it is equally its province to impart cheerful, ness and decision to the mind, ns health and to the body But the peculiar virtue on which °i! S j celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty with I which it restores the virile powers when they have I been destroved by disease.time,recklessness,oranv II of the numerous causes which terminate in the | prostration of ihnse functions. In common with the generality of really good II medicines, this C ordial contains nothing of a ir.er curial or deleterious nature, among the many ingre- [ clients which compose it; but is, at the same time, so simple, yet so efficacious, that while it can reriu vate the prostrated energies of a giant, an infant I may use it,not only with impunity, but wiih ad vantage. The usages of society are unfortunately such, that, nolwiihstaiidiug the benefits which would be sure to result from it, vve cannoteoler into an aualv sis ol this ine-timable Cordial here, or publish marly of the documents which have been received, as vouchers ol the blessings it has conferred on num bers of despairing individuals. But this wc cannot forbear remarking—that it has been demonstrated that there is scarcely ever, it any such thing at all, as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of the procreant functions, in either sex ; and therefore, that thcseevils are the effects of artificial causes, and may 7 be speedily subdued c*nd removed by the use ot “ Le Cordial de Lucine.” The Lucina Cordial is also tn indubitable cure for the Gleet, and the Fluor A Ibus, obstructed, diffi cult, or painful Menstruation ; also, for the incon tinence ol Urine,or the involuntary discharge there of It is likewise on invaluable and unrivalled medicine incases of Chronic Ervptionsof the skin, and in the dropsical affections of the aged.

To Dr. Magnin:—My dear friend—l am moa gratified at Ihe unprecedented popularity of your “Lucna Cordial,” and am able to bear teslirnonvto its surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recently, 1 >] , agenileman ol fortune, who had for several years abandoned himself in the vortex ot dissipation ; and was only reclaimer! from it at length by the utter prostration of all his virile ener gies . lie was,indeed,reduced to the last extremtiy ol debility and tasteiessness, for, il an flash of excitement warmed his system, the Reac tion was almost immediate, and the result perlect prostration. 1 had applied all the usual nostrums ia sueu cases ; but, as I had anticipated, without success ; and when I saw 7 the “ Lucffia Cordial' advertised, 1 must confess that even the great weight of your name did not give me much hope in it, at least so far as regarded the case in hand. 1 felt bound to try it, hovvev'.r,and was soon satisfied u* its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, mV patient gave evidence of the returning eiaslichy ot bis system ; and he is now, having used four buttle*, as w ell is ever.
