Prospectus of a New Work to be entitled i
GEORGIA ILLUSTRATED,
IN a series of original pictures, on steel, with let
ter press descriptions. The plan of publishing
in successive numbers pictorial works, illustrative
of the scenery of countries, has long been a popu
lar one in Europe, and is rapidly gaming favor in
oui own country.
The proposition to issue such a w#rk, devoted to
the scenery of Georgia, although novel, will find
universal favor, and be regarded as it is by the Edit
or, a plan at once felicitous and feasible. 1 here
is much scenery in our Slate,that is not surpassed
in beauty and sublimity, by that of any other Stale
in the Union. The upper counties ab und in scenes,
which need only be known to command the admi
ration ol all who love the beauties of nature. —
Much of the scenery of the North is inferior to our
own, but is yet vDitcd by thousa simply because
it has been written sung and ‘■•lionized,’ by au
thors and travellers until its beauty lias become j
universally known and appreciated. It is deniable
that attention should be directed toourown resour
ces of picturesque in natural scenery, and when
this is done, our own and Northern tourists will
speedily render our beautiful views as immortal as
our language.
The South is charged with general indifference
to the progress of Literature and Fine Arts; and
probably the strongest foundation for the charge is
found in tier inaction in enterprise calculated to fos
ter these objects. The publication ot the propos
ed work will it is believed, be an effective blow
at the foundation, a step towards the establishment
of our literary reputation, to which end much hon
orable effort is now directed.
A third consideration and the last which w ill
now be urged, is the intrinsic value of such publi
cation as “ Georgia Illustrated.” Jt will embo
dy the representations of the beautiful and sublime
in our State scenery, and atford to all, at a trifling
expense, exact pictures of our mountains, vallies,
cataracts, public buildings, &c., which they may or
may not otherwise behold, but which, in either case,
would afford peculiar pleasure.
The proposed work w ill be executed in a style
superior to any similar pictorial work in the coun
try. The plates will be executed on steel by em
inent engravers, from original drawing, made ex
pressly for the purpose, by Mr. T. Addi-on Rich
ards, of Augusta. The engravings will be accom
companied with letter press descriptions, prepared
for the work, and in this department the editor j
will secure, as far as possible, the assistance and
co-operation of our best writers, in short, no pains
will be spared to make thd work a perfei t gem of
the kind, to the end that it may meet a welcome
•reception not only at home but also abroad.

MOFFAT’S VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES
f (THESE medicines are indebted for their name
I to thi ir manifest and sensible action in puri
fying the spring and channels ot life, and enduing
them w ith renewed tone and vigor. In manv hun
dred certified cases which has been made public,
and in almost every species of disease lo which
the human frame is liable, the happy effects of
MOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS AND PHENIX BIT
TERS have been gratefully and publicly ac
knowledged by the persons henefiitted, and who
were previously unacquainted with the beautifully
philosophical principles upon which they are
compoun led, and upon w hich they consequently
act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themseives
in diseases ot every form and description. Their
first operation is to loosen from the coals ol the
stomach and bowels, the various impurities and
crudities eon-tamly settling around them ; anu to
remove the hardened faeces which collect
convoiusions of the smallest intestines. Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to produce habitu
al costtveness with 11 its train of evils, or mu sud
den diarrhoea, with its eminent dangers. This lact
is well known to ail regular anatomists, who ex
amine the human bowels after death : and hence
tbe prejudh e of those well informed men against
quack ineilh mes—or medicines prepared and her
laded to the public bv ignorant p< rsons. ihe &e- j
corn) effect of the Lile Medicines is to cleanse the
kidneys and the bladder, and by this means, the j
liver and the lungs, the healthful action ot which |
entirely depends upon the regularity ol the urinary
organs. The blood, which takes its red color from
the agency ol the liver and the longs before ir
passes info the heat, being tnus pnrifinl by them
and nourished hy loud coming from a clean stom
ach, courses Ireely th ough the veins, renews every
part of the system, and triumphantly mounts lire
banner of health in the blooming cheek.
Moffat’s Vegetable Lile Medicine;, have been
thoroughly attested, and pronounced a sovereign
remedy lor Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation t»f
the Heart, Lossol Appetite, Heart-born ami Head
ache, Restlessness, 111-temper, Anxiety, Languor
and Melancholy, Fosliveiiess, Diarrhoea, Cholera,
Fevers of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies
of all kind, Gravel, V\ orrns, Asthma and Consump

Eruptions ami Bail Complexions, Eruptive com
plaints, Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable
Complexions, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, Common
Colds and influenza ai d various oilier complaints
which afflict the hmrar frame. In fever and
ague, paiticularly, the Life Medicines have been
must eminently successful; so much so that in tiie
Fever and Ague districts, Physicians almost uni
versally prescribe them.
All that Mr. Moffat requires of his patient is
to be particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly
according lo the directions. It is not by a news
paper notice, or any thirg that lie Iniiiself may soy
in their tavor, that he hopes lo gam credit. It is
alone hy ihe result ol a lair trial.

HEADACHE, 8R k or nervous.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr Spohn’s
remedy ior this distressing cumpaiiit is every day
gaining is certainly a matter ol much astonishment,
That so m ich suffering should have existed for ages
without any discovery of an effectual proventiv *, or
cure,is truly a subject ot much regrei but Dr. 8.
now assures the public that such a r, rnctiy has been
invented as will convince the most credulous. The
ynncipieson which it acts are simple and plain. It is
an a milled la« t that this complaint, whether called
Bick Headache, or Aervous Headache, arises prim
arily Irom the stomach—those who ihink they have
the Nervous Headache may rest assurer! that this
organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that th .sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, tlnough the
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expect s restoration ol the natural and
healthy functions ol the system, 'i bis object, Dr
Bpo tin's remedy is eminently calculated to attain.
'The irulh of this position cannot be controverted
and the sooner sufferers wiih ihe headache become
convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering end
111 restoration ol health. Dr. Bpolin pledges ins
professional reputat on on ibis fact. Tne remedy
may be had ol apothecaries generally throughout
tiie United States.
