ACADEMY OF RICHMOND COUNTY*
fHNHE Trustees of this institution are happy to
j have it in their power to state, that both the
principal Academy in Augusta, and the branch at
Summerville, have resumed their exercises, under
• the management of Teachers who have the full
confidence of the Trustees, and who, they are sa
tisfied, are fully entitled to that of the public. : :
Mr. Ernexputscii, the Rector of the Academy,
already favorably known to the community, lips
charge of the Classical department and all the
branches of education requisite for admission do
our best Colleges. His attainments as a scholar
and success in imparting useful knoxvledge, enlii
nently qualify him for the discharge of the im
portant duties of his station.
Mr. Ring, the principal English Teacher, re
cently engaged by the Board, comes with the high
est recotnmendaiions as to character, talents, lite
rary attainments and skill in teaching, and Jhe
Trustees feel assured that he xvili sustain Ihejre
pulation which led to hi? selection.
The branch of the Academy at Summerville cs
under the immediate management of Mr. Feayi:-
un George, a gentleman of experience in teach
ing, and highly recommended. The advantage, of
the location of this branch of the Academy in one
of the most healthful neighborhoods in the State,
and sufficiently remote from the unfavorable; in
fluence of a crowded town, are too well know n to
need comment.
On the whole, the Board confidently recommend
to the public the principal Academy and the Bra nch

they have heretofore been, and promising grjjat
usefulness to those who may avail themselves; of
the advantages which thev offer. ■: i

fiHIESE medicines are indebted for their name

fying the spring and channels of life, and enduing
them with renewed tone and vigor. In manv hun
dred certified cases which has been made public,
ami in almost ever} species of disease to which

MOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS AM) PHEMX BIT
TERS have been gratefully and publicly ac-
Inowledged by the persons bei.efiifted, and who
were previously unacquainted with the beau'iluily
phih sophical principles upon which they are
compounded, and upon which they
act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves
in diseases of every form and descripiion. Their
first operation is to loosen from the coats of the
i -tomach and bowels, the various impurities and
j crudities eon-tantly settling around them ; ano to
remove the hardened faeces which collect
i eonvolusions of the smallest intestines. Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to produce habitu
al costiveness with eII its train ofevils. or in a sud
den d.arrhcna, with its eminent dangers. This fact
is well known to all regular anatomists, xviio ex
amine the human bowels after death; and hence
the prejudice of those well informed men against
quack nieilfi ines—cr medicines prepared and her
laded to the public bv ignorant p< rsons. 'J he se
cond effect of the Life Medicines is to cleanse the
kidneys and the bladder, and by this means, the
liver and the lungs, the healthful action of which
entirely depends upon the regularity ol the urinary
organs. The blood, which takes its red color from
the agenev of the iix - er and the lungs before it
passes into the heat, being thus purified by them
and nourished by food coming from a clean stom
ach, courses freely th.ough the veins, renews every
part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the
banner of health in the blooming cheek.
Moffat’s Vegetable Life Medicines have been
| thoroughly attested, and pronounced a sovereign
remedy for Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation of
the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heart-burn and Head
ache, Restlessness, 111-temper, Anxiety, Languor
and Melancholy, Costiveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera,
Fevers of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies
of all kind, Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consurop
lion, Scnrxx, Ulcers, Inveterate Sores, Scorbutic
Eruptions and Bad Complexions, Eruptixe com
plaints, Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable
Complexions, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, Common
Colds and influenza and various other complaints
which afflict the human frame. In fever and
ague, particularly, the Life Medicines have been
mosteminenfly successful; so much so that in the
Fexer and Ague districts, Physicians almost uni
j versallv prescribe them.
I All ihai Mr. Moffat requires of his patient is
i to be particular in faking the Life Medicines strictly
j according to the directions. It is not by a news
-1 paper nonce, or any thing that he himself may say
in their iavor, that he hopes to gain credit. It is
alone by the resuh of a fair trial.

Radical Cure ol Hernia or Rupture, by Dr.
Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses.
mHE subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug
i store of Messrs. J. J. Robertson & Co., for the
treatment of Hernia or Rupture, by means of these
ustly celebrated instruments. He has now used
them for nearly a year, and, did not delicacy forbid,
he could name several persons whohux'ebeen radi
cally cured, of this truly distressing and dangerous
affection, by the use of these Trusses, besides many
others xvho are in a fairway of being entirely re
liex'ed. 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, xvithout material inconxenience to the
patient, and often under trials more severe than
are usually' ventured upon by those xvho 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 adjus
it themselves. The poor, who are laboring under
this afflicting complaint, will be treated gratuitous
ly-upon presenting a certificate,from some responsi”
ble person, of their pecuniary disability.
The instruments are of all sizes, and applicable
to every variety of reducible rupture,

be made from the stalk, a thing not more aosutu
than for one to offer meal from the com 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 xvili do for otheis what they
have done for such as mav have used them ; as
.his is a \ r egetable of great use, and x’alue, it w'ill
doubtless be valuable information to families to
know that the Yelloxv 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 x-egetable will be found to keep the
system in much better condition than the other
kind; many xvili recollect with what trembling
anxiety calomel has been gix r en to children, and
hoxv they then xvished for a substitute. It has
long been known that the Tomato contained ca
thartic principles, but not until of late was it
ascertained that .aey couiameu aiteratix’e and diu

the preparation most cheerfully, for the reason that

CINQ JOURS,
OR
ANTI-BALSAMIC GONORRHOEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
THIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
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 it? own name from the certain
success hich has attended it through all of its
trying c cumstances, namely, “five days,”—the
same su .ess 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 tire Chief of every tribe of
Indians in America, with a solemn promise to the
Great Spirit, never to divulge the “art of it? 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
with, I may say, religious conlidence on its cura
ble powers.
Below is a cop}- of the translation as near as it can
be anglisized of the deed given by Wabenoshe, to
M. Cheveret, when 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, lor 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 iu
his hands it may do much good, and make him very
rich.”

is to subdue every vestige of inflamation, and then
acts mildly and copiously as a diuretic ; iherebj
holding within itself, every requisite virtue, for
the subduction of this loathsome malady—and ev

assertion, that copious diuresis and reduction of in

a’sound and radical cure
The most peculiar virtue of the “Cinq Jours,”
is in this, that wherever it alone has been used to
affect a cure, none of those tenacious and disagree
able consequences which almost invariably results
from the sudden cure of Gonorrhoea, have been
known to obtain such as stricture, hernia, humor

most loathsome, perplexing, and disagreeable dis

by removing the causes cures effectually and perma

families who have considered Sick Headache a con
stitutional incurable lamiiy complaint- Dr. S. as

It is the result of scientific research,and is entirely

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 ol an effectual preventive, or
cure, is truly a subject of much regret but Dr. S.
now assures the public that such a remedy has been
invented as will convince the most credulous. The
principles on which it acts are simple nnd plain. It is
an a. milled fact that this complaint, w hether 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 a sys

stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expects restoration of jhe naiural and
healthy functions ol 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. Tbe remedy

O. COSBV-S DYSPEPTIC BITTERS.
PERHAPS mere is nothing mere calculated to
disgust tbe public eye than the innumerable
advertisements of nostmms that are constantly ap
pearing in the public prints. All are ready to ex
claim, our souls are sick, our ears are pained with
every day’s reports of ills and specifics. This state
of 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 authorol these bil
lers to make them know n. 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 dyspeptic,so much, that even
his recollection was gone. By using these bitters
he has been restored to health. Mrs. Cosby was
troubled for many years, but wag restored to health
by the use ol these bitters. Tins has been the case
with many ol his frit nds. Mr. Cosby in sending
forth this advertisement, addresscslho.-.e who know
him. Ho has been for many years a resident ol
Augusta, at .w hich piace he can at any lime b?
consulted about the bitters. They are good in all
cases ofdiseases of the digestive organs, the symp
toms of w hich are indigestion, pain or oppression

great celebrity of this unrivalled Compo-
S sition,especially in the Northern Stales, 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 the best remedy for ex
ternal complaints that has ever been discovered.
Indeed the'apeed and certainty of its operations,
have the appearance ofmiracles : as ulcers, wouuds,
corns, fever sores,chilblains, white swellings, biles,
piles, spider and snake bites, &c. Are., immediately
yield to its superhuman influence. Thus, it prop
erly applied it will remove en inveterate corn or
break and heal a bile in five days, will allay and
perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the most
desperate casesot white swelling that can be ima
gined, have been destroyed by it in less than two
months. In the bites of poisonous reptiles its effi
cacy is truly surprising, and if applied in time, its
powers ol attraction are so wonderful that they will
at once arrest the poiison and thus prevent it from
pervaamg the system. It is likewise greatly supe
rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the
chafed back and limbs of horses—lor 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

Sir—l iiseyour Specific Ointment in my practice,
and cordially recommend it as a most efficient reme
dy for Tumors, Ulcers, While Swellings, Scrofula,
Rheumatic Pains, Chapped Face, Lips and Hands:
and for general external complamts. I write this
at the request of your agent here, who furnishes me

Dear Sir—My daughter,a girl of fourteen, was
sadly afflicted witn the comp aim that physicians
termed a scald head ; and I feared, independent ol
ever} other evil, that she would be bald in conse
quence. By the recommendation, however, of the
Reverend Mr. Perrin, I applied your ointment to the
afflicted part; and 1 thank God that my child is
now entirely recovered from the disease, and is
getting her hair as fast as can be expected. The
cure was effected in lather less than two months;
during vvhicu time 1 used fiv dollars worth of oint
ment; I had spent upwards ol a hundred dollars
duiing the previous three years, without any benefit
whatever, MARY HOWARD.
I hereby substantiate the truth ot the above
statement CHRISTOPHER HOWARD.
1 know the above statement to be coircct, and I
can add from experience that “ Harrison’s Specific
Ointment,” is an excellent medicine for external
complaints MATTHEW PERKIN.

Dear Sir—l have to request of you to forward
me, two hundred boxes of Ointment, by the most
immediate conveyance, and without regard to the
expense of carriage, as I am quite our, and much
in want of it. —You know my estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore I shall only add,
ttiat further experience has increased my enthusi
asm and established me in the opinion, that it is su
perior to any remedy extant for external diseases.
Respectfully yours, •

Dr. Harrison.
Sir—The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have
been long known to me,as 1 have used none other
in my rather extensive practice lor several years, and
if you think it would be to your advantage, I can
furnish you with twenty certificates of important
cures w hich it has effected under my own imme
diate inspection : the last being one of a severe
and apparently perpetual ulcer,in the back of a
poor woman, Mary Baxter who resides in 216 Di
vision street, which it completely healed in twenty
ouedays. My present chief object in writing to
you, is to learn who is your authorised agent in this
city, for,being in want of a supply of your oint
ment, and the person Mr. Boyle, from whom I used
to purchase it, having failed and gone out of busi
ness, I am fearful if ipurchaseat random, that J
may be imposed on by a counterfeit.
Your obedient servant,

Dr. Harrison.
Sir, —I have no Hesitation in stating, m reply to
your note, that your “ Specific Ointment” is truly
equal to the majority ol the ends for which you re
commend it. I qualify my certificate by the word
majority, as it is my maxim to give no opinion in
medical matters w here i have had no experience,
in sprains, bruises, i: iflammations, eruptions, w hit
lows, piles, &c., it is in v universal recipe. I have
aKo used it on the leg of a boy which had been
bitten by an adder, and the extraction of tbe poison,
and ultimate cure was so rapid, that my patient was'
a» well as ever in a w eek ; and has remained so to
this day

Ca.,March 3d, 1838:
Dr. Peters —Dear Sir, By request of your agent,
Mr. Harrison, 1 send you a few lines respecting the
almost miraculous effects of your and I would
I add, that you may make used them, in connection
| with my name, in any manner you deem proper, I
speak of their merits from experience, as 1 and my
| family have taken upwards of thirty boxes in three
I years ; and so great awj the bcnefilswe have receiv
ed from them in general, that I would rather pur
| chase them at ten dollars a box than have my house
j without them. I wdll not enumerate the afflictions
j they have relieved us of; bull can assure you they
| were many, 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
the enemy of every disease. I will mention one
| case. I have a sister who had been for a long pe
i riod severely afflicted with dropsy in the chest and
was brought by it to the very verge of the grate.
She was attended by the most eminent physicians
that money could procure; but 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
pecting ever}' day to be her last, your pills were
introduced into my 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 restored to health. This case, I and all
j who were witness of it, (but more especially the
suffering party,) considered to be the next thing to
miraculous; and yet I could mention many more
of an equally desperate nature, in which your pills
were equally successful in rescuing the patients
from the jaws of death. Need I add that the popu
larity of your medicine amounts to enthusiasm in
this section of the country ? But this 1 presume
you know from the immense quantity you dispose
of. I may 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 upwards of fifteen
j months, I have been cruelly afflicted with Fever
i 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 one
j of our best physicians, and I am most grateful and
happy in being able to add, that 1 had scarcely used
two boxes when 1 found that they had restored me
to perfect health. Since then, various members of
m3' family have used them with equal success—
and consequently I feel it 013’ duty to apprise you
of the fact, and to request of you to publish this
certificate, as 1 am anxious to add m3’ public testi
mony to the almost miraculous virtues of your un
j rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours,

Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo
gart, of Providence, R. 1., Dec. 17, IS3S.—Peters’
are an excellent aperient and cathartic medi

Extract from a letter bj’ Dr. Hopson of Bangor,

Extract of a letter from Dr. Prichard of Hudson,

was one of the best chenystsin the United Stales,
and felt assured that he would some day (Horn 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

of a thousand ytnrs. they had baffled the \vi S( j

the great advantage of the human race,soon proved
itse.f to be the desideratum solung sought for ■ an i
accordingly, notwithstanding tl e brief period of jf

it is eagerly inquired for throughout the civilijed

was so vast as to render a supply impossible, de.
posed of the recipe and right ot sale, under obi?
t ions of secrecy, l«r England, the United Stale*
and other countries,only preserving France and
Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber pos
sessed himself of the invaluable secret; and now

celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty with
which it restores the virile powers when they lave
been destroyed by disease, time, recklessness,orany
of the numerous causes which terminate in the
prostration of ihose functions.
In common with the generality of really good
medicines, this Cordial contains nothing of a rner.
curia! or rfcleterious nature, among the many inere
dtents which compose it; but is, at the same time,
so simple, vet so efficacious, that while it can reno-'
vate the prostrated energies of a giant, an mfan
may use it,not only with impunity, but with ad
vantage.
The usages of society are unfortunately such
that, notwithstanding the benefits which would be
sure to result from it, weeannotenter into an analy
sis ot this ine.-timable Cordial here, or publish marly
ot the documents w hich have been received, as
vouchers of lbe blessings u has conferred on num

forbear remarking—that it has been demonstrated
that there is scarcely ever, it anj- such thing at all,
as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of
the procreant It, notions, in either sex ; and therefore
that thcseevils are the effects of artificial causes'
and maj r be speedily subdued and removed by the
use ot “ Le Cordial de Lueine.”
The Lucina Cordial is also an indubitable cure
for the Gleet, and the Fluor Albus, obstructed,diffi
cult, or painful Menstruation; also, for the incon
tinence ot Urine,or the involuntary discharge there
of. It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled
medicine in cases of Chronic Eruptions of theskin,
and in the dropsical affections of the aged.

From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels
October 3, 1837.
To Dr. Magnin : —My dear friend—l arn rcos
gratified at the unprecedented popularity ot you*
“Luc na Cordial,” and arn able 10 bear testimony to
its surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recently,
1 M , a gentleman ot fortune, who had lor
several years abandoned himself in the vortex ot
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from U 4l
length by the utter prostration of all bis virile ener
gies. He was,indeed,reduced to the last extremity
of debility and Uslelessness. for, if an occasional
Hash of excitement wanned his system, the reac
tion was almost immediate, and the result perfect
prostration. 1 had applied all the usual nostrum*
in such cases; but, as I had anticipated, without
success ; and when 1 saw’ the “ Lucma Cordial
advertised, 1 must confess that even the great weight
of your name did not give rne much hope in it,
least so far as regarded the case in hand. I le *J
bound to try it, however, and was soon satisfied
its efficacy ; for before a bottle was expended, mV
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity ol
his system ; and fie is now, having used four bottle*,
as w ell is ever.
The number of documents, such as the above j
which have been received by Mr. Magnin, sinc-eth®
