Reply to “A Few.”
••Some have at first for wits, then poets passed,
Turned critics next, and proved plain fools at
last;
Some neither can for wits nor critics pass,
\i heavy mules are neither horse nor ess ”
This is the case with “A Few,” who
pre such friendly advice to the writer of
article a few days since, for which I
tnnjt return the homage of a grateful
heart. Rut I will briefly notice his article.
Jessys, sensible men, tbiuking my writ
jujs s fair specimen of tbe talent among
voting men of Emory College, would
r ot send their sons there to be educated.
/ myself, do not say it is—but it is mine.
Let it speak for itself. When sensible
raen look upon ‘‘Few’s” article, they will,
no doubt, think hit “course of study has
been very imperfect,” and that nature, too,
had badly performed her duty, in assign
ing to him the vanity of being a critic.
Let me thank “Few” for reminding me
that “many writers of the present day
are trying to win immortality by their
pens, who would be situated more in ac
cordance with their true taste by having
1 hold of the plow handle.” I readily agree
with him. and would also add, that there
are many would-be critics— oxb, I'm sure,
—who would be more properly situated,
and more trnly among tAeir equals, were
they in a corn field with a parcel of sable
Africans, than to be, as they arc, in a
band of Southern students. I will also
thank “Few” tor his advice f.s to con
tracting the dimensions of my head; but I
will not thus advise him, for if its size and
contents were much contracted (to judge
by his writings), there would be nothing
left, save a conglomerated mass of putrified
hair (no brains) and unportrayable ver
dancy. Since seeing his article, lam fully
convinced of the truth of what the poet
says:
“All fools have still an itchiDg to deride.”
No doubt, he would try and win the
name of critic, but in my humble opinion,
all his efforts will be in vain. Remember,
“Few,” that there are those who “their
own teeth work in pulling other’s out.”
Mind now, “Few,” lest soon you may be
toothless, and without the reputation you
bo sincerely wish, then you can exclaim,
like the hero of old:
“ Othello's occupation’s gone."
Who i« there that can look upon the crit
qneof"AFew” without feelings of awe
-without shuddering for the fate of “ Seth
Sinclair.” Sarcasm Hows from the ver-
Jant spot where his brains (provided he
lad any) should be, “as maggots crawl
rom out a perished nut.”
I would here ask “Few” why did he
lend n fictitious nnmo to the editor of the
'isiTon, in tho note requesting tho publi
ation of his article? Did he not know
t would be confidential ? As to his hint
if my plagiarism, I can only say he is
Mistaken. But “Few” seems to bo af
icted “with just enough learning to
uote." What will men think of one who
lottld be a critic, but who cannot pro
ier!y write a simple Latin sentence —that
oo a quotation. Is lie a specimen of the
ingnists of Emory College? Methinks I
icar the voice of learned professors cry-
ng No! No!
Oh, Emory! as the 1 zs of success
an thy waving flag, that flutters high in
be literary sky of the South, sod eclipses
iy far those of your sister colleges, look
lown with pity and compassion upon the
unity of one, who would be called a
ritic, and who is now advancing to the
hreshold of the door of that time, when
le will claim thee as his “ Alma Abater."
Hush not to own him, for there is time
et for him to repent. Bid him
‘ease the scrauTings of his pen, and then,
hrough compassion, draw the mantle of
iblivion over his scattered thoughts.
Henceforth I shall cease to notice his
‘scribbling fry.” If he he. a friend, ]
hank him for his advice; but am truly
lorry I cannot take it. If an enemy, I
lay, throw aside the garb of cowardice,
md personally tell me that which you
mve printed in a public Journal under a
ictitions name. To those readers of the
Crusader, and other journals, who have
ead my “sketches,” I say: I am satisfied
ho mere assertion of “A Few" will not
>e taken. I shall continue (with the per
nit of the Editor) to write at such times
s suits my convenience—the advice of the
ain "•Few" to the contrary , notwith
tanding. I shall try and irake them
Worthy of perusal, even though I fail. To
‘Few,” in conclusion, I will say: Lay up
four pen; yon are suffering too much pain
rom the “ green fever" to be a critic.
‘Cavil you may, but never criticise."
Again let. me thank you for your advice,
md believe that
“(On me, when dunces are satiric,
I take it for a panegyric j

Wild Cherry Balsam.
Rlfcs* The following is worthy the At
tention of all who are interested for themselves
or friends:—
Dr. S. W. Fowls.—Dear Sir: In offering my
testimony in favor of your WISTAR’S BALSAM
OF WILD CHERRY I speak from my own ex
perience, having received signal benefit from the
use of one or two bottles which were urged upon
me by my apothecary, who backed up his recom
mendation by giving sonic extraordinary results
from its use, ns having come within his knowl
edge. I had taken a violent cold, followed by a
deep seated cough, which frequently produced
vomiting, with pain in the side. I breathed
with difficulty, had night sweats, lost my nppetite
in short, I was completely prostrated. My
physician prescribed for me, but I found no
relief. I commenced taking the Balsam in small
doses at first, and almost immediately begun to
improve. My cough abated, my strength and
appetite returned, and in a few weeks 1 was able
to at tend to my business as usual. I feel indebted
to Wistar’s Balsam for inv recovery, and cheer
fully give you leave to make whatever use you
please of this statement.
Very respectfully, yours, Ac.,

Messrs. P. Davis & Sox.—Gents:
Before I left Mergul, both Karens and Brnmans
had found out the value of your Pain Killer, and
I could readily have disposed of a large quantity
of it among them. It scorns particularly effica
cious in cholera morbus, bowel complaints, and
other diseases to which the natives of Burmah,
from their unwholesome style of living, are pe
culiarly exposed. It is a valuable antidote to
the poison of Centipedes, Scorpions, H irnets,
and the like I have been twice stung by Scor
pions, and in both cases eased the moat excru
ciating pain and entirely prevented the swelling
by applyrug the Pain Killer. On our voyage
homeward from India, the Captain of the ship
was taken with vomiting and purging and other
simptoms of cholera. I gave him a good dose
of Pain Killer with the most immediate and hap
py result. Sn entire and speedy was the relief,
that he assured me he would never again go a
voyage without your excellent medicine, if he
could possibly procure it.
Respectfully yours,

jg-f TnE comfort and health of their
children is the legitimate source of much anxiety
to those parents who wish to perform faithfully
their duties to their offspring, and yet this very
anxiety prompts them often to seek the aid of
medical inen, (who of course must give something
to ihe child to gratify the parent,) while, in nine
cases out of ten, all that the child requires is a
gentle and skilful friction, so as to arouse to ac
tion the “min.te superficial vessels so apt to
become torpid in infancyfor this reason the
most experienced nurses and physicians have
never ceased, since its great- virtues were uni
versally known and acknowledged, to recom
mend the “ Balm of Thousand Flowers,” which
creates great elasticity and strength of limb,
general health of body, and beauty of complex
ion : all which is remarkably apparent in those
children who have been judiciously subjected to
the benign and sanitary influence of the “Balm.'

Diseases of the Liver.
S®=. hen the eelebr. to l Dr. Rush
declared that drurkness was a disease, he enun
ciated a truth which the experience and obser
vation of medical men is everyday confirming.—
The many apparently insane excesses of thoso
who indulge in the use of spirituous liquours,
may be thus accounted for. The true cause of
conduct, which is taken for infatuation, is very
frequently the diseased state of the Liver. No
organ in the human system, when deranged,
produces a more frightful catalogue of diseases,
And if, instead of applying remedies to the mani
festations of diseases, as is too often the case,
physicians would prescribe with a view to the
original cause, fewer deaths would result from
diseases induced by a deranged state of the Liver.
Throe-fourths of the diseases enumerated under
the head of Consumption, have their seats in a
diseased Liver. Dr. Mc’Lane’s celebrated Liver.

CATHARTIC IJJLLS1 J JLLS
OPERATE by their powerful influence on the
internal viscera to purify the blood aud
stimulate it into healthy action. They remove
the obstructions of the stomach, bowels, liver,
and other organs of the body, and, by restoring
their irregular action to health, correct, wherever
they exist, such derangements ns are the first
causes of disease. An extensive trial of their
virtues, by Professors, Physicians and Patients,
has shown cures of dangerous diseases almost
beyond belief, were they not substantiated by
persons of such exalted position and character
as to forbid the suspicion of uutruth. Their
certificates are published in my American Al
manac, which the agents below named are pleas
ed to furnish free to all inquiring.
Annexed we give Directions for their use in
the complaints which they have been found to
cure.
For Costivsncss.— Take one or two Pills, or
such quantity as to gently move the bowels.
Costiveness is frequently the aggravating cause
of Piles, and the cuie of one complaint is the
cure of both. No person enu feel well while
under a costive habit of bodv. Hence it should
be, as it can be, promptly relieved
For Dyspepsia, which* is sometime the cause
of Costiveness, and always uncomfortable, take
mild doses—from one to four—to stimulate the
stomach and liver into healthy action. They
will do it, and the heartburn, bodyhurn and soul
burn of dyspepsia will rapidly disappear. When
it has gone, don’t forget what cured you.
For a Foul Stomach, or Morbid Inaction, of the
Bowels, which produces general depression of
the spirits and bad health, take from four to
eight Pills at first, and smaller doses afterwards,
until activity and strength is restored to the
system.
For Nervousness, Sick Headache, Nausea,
Pain in the Stomach, Bach, or Side, take from
four to tight Pills on going to bed. If they do
not operate sufficiently, take more the next day
until they do. These complaints will bo swept
out from the system. Don’t wear these and
their kindred disorders because vour stomach is
foul.
For Scrofula, Erysipelas, and all Diseases of
the Skin, lake the Pills freely and frequently, to
keep the bowels open. The eruptions wilfgon
eraflv soon begin to diminish and disappear.
Many dreadful ulcers and sores have been healed
up by the purging and purifying effect of these
Pills, and some disgusting diseases which seemed
to saturate the whole system, have completely
yielded to their influence, leaving the sufferer in
perfect health. Patients! your duty to society
forbids that you should parade yourself around
the world, covered with pimples, blotches, ul
cers, sores, and all or any of the unclean dis
eases of tho skin, because your system wants
cleansing.
To Purify the Blood, they are the best medi
cine ever discovered. They should be taken
freely and frequently, and the impurities which
sow the seeds of incurable diseases will be swept
out of the system like chaff before the wind. By
this property they do as much good in prevent
ing sickness ns by the remarkable cures which
they are making everywhere.
Liver Complaint, Jaundice, and all Bilious
.{fictions arise from some derangement—cither
torpidity, congestion, or obstruction of the Liver.
Torpidity and congestion vitiate the bile, and
render it unfit for digestion. This is disastrous
to the health, and the constitution is frequently
undermined by no other cause. Indigestion is
the symptom. Obstruction of the duct which
empties the bile into the stomach causes the bile
to overflow into the blood. This produces jaun
dice, with a long and dangerous train of evils.
Costiveuesß, or alternately costivencss and diurr
hnea. prevails. Feverish symptoms, languor,
low spirits, weariness, restlessness, and melan
choly, with sometimes inability to sleep, and
sometimes great drowsiness; sometimes there
is severe pain in the side ; the skin and the white
of the eves become a greenish yellow ; the stom
ach acid; the bowels sore to the touch; the
whole system irritable, with a tendency to fever,
which may turn to bilious fever, bilious colic,
bilious diurrlußß. dysentery, Ac. A medium
dose of three or four Pills taken at night, follow
ed by two or three in tbe morning, and repeated
a few days, will remove the cause of all these
troubles. It is wicked to suffer such pains when
you cun cure them for 25 cents.
RnsuMATiSM, Gout, and all Inflammatory Fe
errs, are rapidly cured by the purifying effects
of these Pilis upon the blood, and tlie stimulus
which they afford to the vital princple of life.
For these and all kindred complaints, they should
he taken in mild doses, to move the bowels
gently, but freely'.
Asa Dinner Dill, this is both agreeable and
useful. No Pill can be made more pleasant to
take, and certainly none has been made more
effectual to the purpose for which a dinner pill
is employed.
