DEMOCRATIC MEETING IN HARRIS.
Hamilton-, Aug. 26, 1848.
In compliance with a previous call, a
very respectable portion of the Democracy
of Harris county assembled in the Court
House to-day at 2 o’clock, P. M. ; when
the meeting was organized by the call of
Gen. Henry H. Lowe to the chair and Dr.
James W. Pitts to act as secretary.
On motion of W. J. Scott, Esq., the fol

the meeting was entertained by W. J.
Scott, Esq. in a few brief and pertinent re
marks. Followed by a very able and elo
quent address from our candidate, Col.
John J. Carey, cf Upson. The meeting
was then enlivened and highly amused by
a random shot from Porter Ingram, Esq.,
which was delivered in his usual free and
eloquent style.
Every Democrat present was highly
edified, and if the countenances of our
Whig friends present are to be taken as
indicative of any thing, they must have
felt in a very forcible manner the applica
tion of the remarks.
The following is the report of the com

MORE FILLMOREISH.
The following which we copy from the
New Orleans Courier of the 4th, needs no
comment —Read it People of Georgia cf
all parties, and see wlmt reliance can be
placed on the Whig candidate for Vice-
President, so far as the questicnof Slavery
is concerned.
January 21,1812, Mr. Adams presented
a petition from certain citizens of Massa
chusetts, stating that by law no foreigner
of color can now become a citizen of the
United States, and hold real estate therein,
and praj iug that the naturalization laws
may be so amended as to permit Free co
lored Foreigners, to become citizens of
the Uniteh States, and to hold Real
Estate.
Mr. Wise raised the question of recep
tion, and moved to lay that question on the
table. Carried Yeas, 113—nays, 58.
W. O. Butler among the yeas.
Adams, Fillmore, Giddings, Slade, and
the abolitionists, voted among the nays.
Here is our philanthropic whigeandidate
for the Vice Presidency, backing a petition
praying Congress to change the naturaliza
tion laws so that foreign negroes may be
come citizens of the United States, and
enjoy all the rights and privileges apper
taining thereto! The next thing for the
philanthropic Adams and Fillmore to effect,
would be to make negroes eligible to seats
in Congress, and to the office of Vice-Pre
sident.
We should like to know if the philan
thropic Adams, Fillmore, Giddings, and
the others, were so very anxious to confer
the rights of naturalized citizens upon for
eign Dutch and Irish ?
It was Horace Greeley, who first called Taylor a
“ journeyman throat-cutter .> The whig papers arc
now trying to make it appear as a “lucofuco slan
der.”
JUDGE WELLBORN.
MISREPRESENTATION corrected.
Columbus, Aug. 29, 1848.
To the editors of the Columbus Enquirer:
As the article published in the columns
of your paper of this morning, intended to
prove that, in opposition to my present re
lation to the question of the constitutional
ity and expediency of a National Bank, I,
when a member of the House of Represen
tatives of the State Legislature, from the
county of Harris, in 1834, voted in favor
ol the measure, is, in effect an attack on
my veracity in the repeated assurances
given by me to the contrary, as well as
my political consistency, it would seem to
be proper that I reply, in person and over
my own signature, to the unfounded as
persion. You will, cf course, at the usual
rates of charge, (if it be agreeable to you
to accept compensation) insert, at my re
spectful request, the answer to the attack.
Let me premise, that the article in view,
appears on its own showing to be not ed
itorial ; and that I wouldifl could, concede,
that it is within the limits of possibility,
that a deliberate and known misrepresent
ation may net have been designed by the
anonymous author of it!
1 he following are the resolutions, which,
together with the vote represented to have
been cast by me against the passage ot
them, are cited to show that I was at the
time referred to, favorable to a Bank :
l ’ Resolved, by the Senate, <S/-c. That the bank of
the Lnitcd States ought not to be rechartered on
any terms, and that our Senators in Congress be,
and they are hereby instructed, and our Represen
tatives requested to vole against the recharter of
said Bank in any form or shape in which it may be
presented.
2. That the bold, patriotic, and constitutional
course pursued by the President of the United
States, to arrest the powerful efforts made by that
Bank to compel a recharter, which must, if suc
cessful, have resulted in the destruction of the liber
ties and happiness of the American people, de
serves and^ has the unqualified approbation of the
people of Georgia, who pledge to him their support
wl|i.e he steadily moves onward in his course to ar
rest and finally destroy this mammoth of aristoc
racy.
And whereas the power of Congress, under the
Constitution, to charter a Bank, is denied by a
large portion of the people of this State, and is ac
knowledged by another portion, who assert the pow
er to be of too disputable a character to admit its
exercise without an amendment of the Constitution
expressly granting it; and the opinion of this Gen
eral Assembly being that Congress should exer
cise no power not expressly grantej, or necessarily
flowing from one so granted, and that the right to
charter a bank is not one of this character
3. Be it further resolved, That our Senators be
instructed, and our Representatives requested, to
use all proper means to prevent the charter of any
Bank of the United States, at least until an
am. nJment of the Constitution in this particular
shall have been submitted to the States, and by
them ratified.
These resolutions when narrowly look
ed into, will be seen to affirm in part, and
in part imply, several propositions, having
not the remotest connexion with the ques
tion proper of the constitutionality or ex
pediency of a National Bank. The first
assumes the affirmative of the disputed
right of the State Legislatures to instruct
members of the American Senate. I am
not called upon to say what, if any judg
ment, were made up by me cn that subject,
at the date of the vote quoted.
The second obviously enough to all who
know any thing of the political history of
the times under review, refers, with ap
proval, to the removal, in the year 1833,
by President Jackson, of the Deposites of
public money from the vaults of the Bank
—a measure involving, in the opinion of
some, questions of constitutional Executive
authority, in that of others equally oppos
ed to the act, mere considerations of justice
to the Bank and policy to the country—
in none, so far as I am now aware, the
mere right of Congress to incorporate a
Bank ‘, or the wisdom of the exercise of such
a right, on the supposition that it were
possessed by them. Now, to that meas
ure, to wit: the removal of the public depo
sites, I stood, in common with others, op
posed. Again; the resolution proceeds
to assert, without qualification, that the re
charter of the Bank “must have resulted
in the destruction of the liberties and hap
piness of the people”! May not gentle
men very honestly opposed to the re-char
ter have thought the language cf the reso
lution in this particular, extreme and
somewhat exaggerated / The resolution
under discussion, concludes with a pledge
(in general terms) of the “support of tho
people of Georgia to the President, while
he steadily moves onward in his'eourse,”
&c. It can be no injustice to you, gentle
men, to remind you, that though the
by President Jackson of the re-charter of
the Bank on a previous day, and other
State Rights measures of policy, had uni
ted all parties in Georgia in support of his
re-election in the fall of 1832, yet that the
doctrines of the Proclamation and thO Force
B’ll that emanated from him in the winter
cf that year, drove you, myself, and eth
ers of the more zealous advocates of that
system of commercial policy—which you
are pleased to denounce, in my humble
advocacy as “anti-American,” towit: the
doctrine of free trade, into a relation of ve
hement opposition to the General.—Re
commending, as he did, the gradual aban
donment of the miscalled and fraudulent
policy of protection, we had net then for
given him for the blow levelled by him,
merely at the extreme and hasty remedy
of nullification by individual States of the
then odious, but now by you so much cher
ished system of protective tariffs. Hence
ice were in no frame of mind in 1831, des
pite our agreement on other points, to
“pledge him the support of the people of
Georgia.” To this member of the 2d res
olution, I was also averse*
Yet for all these objectionable proposi
tions and pledges-*—quite aside from the
point in issue—l must have voted, in order
to have not recorded my name among the
52 nays quoted by your correspondent!—
But yet more, vour correspondent’s steal
thy object would have been in still greater
danger, had he gone further and stated a
little more of the whole truth, to-wit: that
the three resolutions copied, are followed
up by four others, embracing quite a vari
ety of topics, some of which met my appro
val, and from others I equally dissented.—
The fifth one, for example, (see Journal)
professes to instruct our Senators and re
quest our Representatives to vote for the
celebrated “Expunging Resolutions,” as
they were called ; that is to-say, for certain
resolutions to'expunge from the journals of
the Senate the record of a portion of its
previous proceedings, touching the act of
the removal of the deposites, to which al
lusion has been made. Here I was called
to look into the nature and offices of records,
and I might add, in this instance to violate
my own convictions on a point, than which
nothing certainly is more foreign to the one
in respect to which I am assailed.
Finally, the commentator for the Enqui
rer shows that the vote complained of was
given on the passage of the resolutions—
that is, the resolutions as a whole —and yet
it is artfully, or rather I should sa}* mali
ciously, intended to leave the impression
that because I would not consent to take
and approve a common mixture of what
was deemed good and bad, right and wrong,
as attempted to be forced, in the violence
of the times, upon a determined minority
by a vastly preponderating majority, thatvN
opposed all that was contained in the res-'*
olutions, or, at all events, so much of them
as relates to the Bank. While the truth
of the case is, that not five, no not three,
as I verily believe, of all the members of
both political parties in that Legislature
were in favor of the Bank. Do I hazard
any thing in saying that no one of
information on the subject who has his re
membrance about him, doubts the truth of
this ? But I have sufficiently exposed this
fruitless attempt at imposition, and have
done with it.

rOtt-TM* TIMEX.
WARM SPRINGS, GEORGIA,
August 22d, 1848.
Mr. Editor—As your journal is not the
ergan solely of political’ intelligence, you
may perhaps find space in its columns for a
few thoughts from one, who rejoices to have
fled from the heat proverbial to the cities
of the 44 sunny South,” and to have sought,
in the adventurous spirit of knight-errant
ry, amid the luxuries of a genial climate,
the pleasures and the fortunes which fate
might throw in his way. A tour through
the Northern part of our State during the
summer season, will readily show, that of
all persons, the people of Georgia are most
obnoxious to the truth of Campbell’s cele
brated line,
“ ; Tis distance lends enchantment to the view.”
Me, who live in the land where every
breeze might be burdened with the frag
rance of nature’s sweetest flower, where
every mountain rivulet is bespangled with
the rainbow hues of the cascade, where
mountain scenery opens to the view, till
lost in the immensity of space, where the
handiwork of the Deity is shown in a
mountain of stone towering in its pride of
place beyond the clouds, where the Heav
ens are studded with stars as bright and
canopied with a mantle as blue as ever en
raptured a votary of nature, must need
seek elsewhere the enjoyments which home
abundantly affords, listen with rapture to
the tales of those yclept travellers, who,
now as in Shakspeare’s day, “ disable
the benefits of their own country,” read
books written by those who, in describing
the sights in “foreign parts” can in no oth
erwise write a book, and must complete
the catastrophe by sighing, oh! for Switzer
land, oh! for Italy.
We have not however completed, in the
sum of attractions just enumerated, the
full measure of objects, which, especially
during the warm season of the year, invest
our State with interest. Persons, who go
in quest of health or pleasure, have been
accustomed from time immemorial, to seek
gratification at the Saratoga Springs, or
seme other Northern watering place, and
and in their propensity to neglect corres
ponding sources of attraction at home, re
mind us of the cock in the fable, that pass
es by the jewel, and in forgetfulness of his
treasure, strives on for an ultimate good
which may afford but little remuneration
for his toil. The mountainous section cf
our State may be said to be not only a grand
reservoir of medicinal waters, but may suc
cessfully compare with any portion of the
world in salubrity of climate. The proph
et of the Israelites smote with a rod the
rock of the desert, from whence issued
streams of living water; but here in the
bountifulness of nature, the frequency with
which watering-places spring into exis
tence, reminds ns, that neither the proph
et’s nor the enchanter’s wand is required
to unbosom from every mountain the heal
ing gush responsive to the stroke. Our
State is truly said to embrace every varie
ty of climate, from the chilling winds of
the Northern section to the fever heat of
the South. The writer has had the pleas
ure of sojourning recently at one of the
many watering-places of the State in Mer
iwether county, and he may be permitted
in justice to its multiplied attractions, to
bestow upon it a passing notice- The wa
tering place in question is one already
known to fame, (now under the manage
ment of Robert Bonner, Esq’r.) but which
has been “ curtailed of its fair proportions”
for the last two or three seasons by a neigh
boring Mill-pond. The fever engendered
by this nuisance had the effect of keeping
aloof the crowds who had previously fre
quented the Springs, and made this other
wise fashionable place of resort a scene of
comparative desolation, barely “leaving a
flower of the stalk to tell where a garden
had been.” During the present’ season,
the Springs have been densely attended by
every class of persons “ from grave to gay,
from lively to severe,” and at the present
moment the buoyant music of the violin
and the tramp of busy feet announce that
the young, yea, the old too, are absorbed
in the “ mystic mazes of the dance.” The
proximity of the Springs to Columbus, and
the difficulty of access from other portions
of the State, render this watering-place the
resort of a greater number of ladies from
said city than are found in attendance from
other places. YVe are too much cf an en
thusiast in behalf of the fairer portion of
creation to pass unrecorded the tribute due
to that witchery of wit and beauty which
distinguishes the ladies of said city, and the
joyous exercise of which encircles our de
lightful watering place with much of the
halo of its glory. The incense however
which we offer at this shrine makes no de
duction from that which is so truly due in
oblation to that of others, whose charms
swell, in delightful harmony, the enchant
ments of the joyous whole. The Bay,
the Ridge, EufauJa and Montgomery, each
send their representatives, no less distin
guished for personal attractions', than the
skillful exercise of vigorous yet modest in
tellect'. Our notice however, Mr. Editor;
is becoming somewhat extended, and vve
will close by recommending to the pleas
urd-seeker, the ctelebs of the present day
and invalid's; to this delightful watering
place, possessing in the,sum cf its attrac
tions, salubrity of climate, beauty of situa
tion, medicinal waters'as applied both in
ternally artir externally,’ and last,, from its
crowning-importance, the refinements of
female society. Meriwether.

Dr. Seth W. Fowlc,—Dear Sir Feeling, as I do,
under obligation to the friend who urged me to try
Wistar’s Balsam, in spite of my hostility to the end
less variety of remedies claiming infallibility, I can
not justly refuse to comply with your request to
furnish a statement of its effects.
From my youth 1 have been subject to lung com
plaints, and during the last ten years I have been
under the necessity of using the utmost caution to
avoid that most ungracious customer, (< a cough.”-
In February last I took cold—a cough set in, and
though slight in the beginning, I made use of the
simple remedies which I always keep for that pur
pose. . These failing, I resorted to others, many of
which have gained celebrity, but my cough increas
ed in violence, and a pain in the side and right lobe
of the lungs set in, which soon became very distress
ing and at intervals were attended with oppressive
strictures on the lungs. During this time I expec
torated freely, but the mucus raised from the lunge
indicated*a disease deeply seated. Two cr three
physicians kindly sent me their medicines, which
have been very efficient in curing coughs, but they
failed to reach my case, and I began to be some
what uneasy. In the hitter part of April I left
home, intending to travel awhile and if possible es
cape, by that means, from present danger. When
I readied Buffalo I had taken an additional cold,
and my cough was considerably aggravated. A
friend there advised me to try the Balsam of Wild
Cherry, hut I told him I had swallowed medicine
enough. Well, sir, I coughed out that day and the
night following, and the next day my friend urged
me again to try “Doctor Wistar,” and at 3, P. M.,
I was willing to try anything, for I coughed con
stantly. I procured a bottle—drank of it —read the
directions —took the stage for home, continued ta
king it from that bottle one week, and when the
Balsam was gone my cough and pains were gone,
and I have not coughed since. * ,

THE T*Us RICHES OF LITE IS HEALTH. K
Dr. Stcayne —Dear Sir, —For the good of
public, I feel myself in duty bound to testify to the’
great cure which your Compound Syrup of Wild
Cherry performed on me. For my part, I feci na
if every body ought to know it. I was afflicted
with a violent cough, slitting of blood,, night sweats,
hoarseness', and sound of the voice indicating au
alarming state of disease ; my appetite was gone
and my strength hatfshifar failed me thatrny friends
and physician were persuaded I could not survive
many days. My sister, Who was my anxious care
taker, made inquiry where she would be likely to
procure the most certainTelief. Siie was told that
if Dr. Swayne’s Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry
failed in the cure, mv life was then hopeless.—
Your medicine was immediately procured, and the
first bottle gave relief, anil by the time 1 had com
menced the sixth bottle, my cough had left me,
and my strength was much improved. In Short,
it has made a perfect cure of me, and I am at this
present time as hearty a man as I wish, and have
good reason to believe that the use of your medi
cine has saved me from a premature grave. I shall
be pleased to give any information respecting my
disease. Yours’ with respect,
.T. M. REEVES.

BCr The WINTER SESSION will commence on
tho First Monday in October next, by which
time we expect to receive New Apparatus, and
other School Facilities.
Board can be obtained in this city and Girard
upon reasonable terms.
The patronage which has heretofore been be
stowed upon this School, (tho last term having
closed with eighty-six pupils,) lias given great con
fidence to the undersigned, that they will succeed
in making it, what they most desire to make it, an
Institution in which all the Branches of a THOR
OUGH and USEFUL EDUCATION may be obtain
ed, and which are considered necessary to qualify
young men for the active business of life.
The system of discipline and studies in the ad
vanced Classes, will be such as are adapted to our
Southern Colleges, and in the Elementary Classes,
the able and successful management of Mr. Harris
will be continued.
The undersigned, after due deliberation with the
Teachers, have resolved to dismiss from the School
every Pupil, who, after proper trial, shall manifest
an incorrigible disposition and habitually bad con
duct. Justice to the Patrons of the School and
the character of the Institution, will demand ‘this
course; but in making this declaration, we pledge
ourselves that every m tive and inducements good
conduct, which can be placed before the Students
by the Trustees, Teachers, and every member of
our Association, will bo most cheerfully employed
for their benefit and advantage.
The Order which we represent,have founded this
Institution in accordance with the enlightened and
benevolent principles which we profess, and in so
doing, have incurred a pecuniary risk of some mag
nitude. We flatter ourselves, however, that this
effort in the great cause of Education, made by us
for the benefit of all within its sphere, will be prop
erly responded <to, and that so long as we aiford
the facilities qf a useful and thorough Education,
we may hope to receive a fair proportion- of the
public patronage; especially as the-'surplus, it any,
arising from tuition fees, after paying-teachers and
necessary expense®, will be~applied to charitable
purposes, and the increase of Apparatus, Library,
&c. v , ; . y
Among other Charities authorized by the
Lodge and. connected with the School, wo think
proper to mention, that, by a vote of the Lodge,
the right is given to any person subscribing and pay
ing One Hundred Dollars, 1 to send a Charity Schoß
ar to the English department of the School, daring
the life of the subscriber, and for such length of
time after his death as may be. sufficient to educate
the Beneficiary then at School. He may change
the object of his chanty as often as he pleases, with
the single condition, that he must select a boy who
mightmot otherwise be able to obtain an education.
The number of Scholarships thus authorized arc
limited, and some ten or twelve have been taken.
Indigent members of our Order, who may desire
to send to this Institution, arc invited to confer,
without hesitation, with the Trustees, at any time.

FEMALE ACADEMIES.
THE Examination of the pupils in these la
stitutions, commenced on the 15th inst., and
concluded on the 17th_ And we are proud to say,
that the pupils, under the tuition of THOMAS A.
SAYLES, in the male department, and JAMES M.
SHERIDAN, in the female, displayed such profi
ciency as to convince us of the competency and in
dustry of the Teachers, and the p: ompt, accurate,and
distinct manner, that the pupils answered questions
and solved problems, proved them to be in pos
session of well balanced minds, and industrious
habits. In these schools we find advanced classes
of young gentlemen and ladies, who are thorough
ly versed in the science of Mathematics, that ex
alted system of intellect and truth, by which we
are guided in our march on Earth, in exploring the
Heavens, navigating the trackless Ocean, and com
prehending every thinx* relating to number, mag
nitude,and proportion, demonstrating a knowledge
of the science to be indispensable to the welfare of
society. In these schools, the pupils, males and
females, are instructed in the rich classics, and
tho oughly washed in the fountains of antiquity
In the natural sciences, the classes answered
promptly all questions askrd, aud if they had the
use of an apparatus, to illustrate the knowledge of
their science, we wouid hate been better enter
tained. The Teachers, however,have ordered one,
which will be on hand very soon, and then they will
be enabled to illustrate, before their classes, that
science which includes all nature in its universal
grasp, character, analyzes their principles, explains
their affinities, and the effectsoi their combinations,
and which from its endless variety and practical
utility, not only furnishes constant and increasing
sources of attraction, but displays its power in ev
ery useful art, aud in all occupations and pursuits
of man.
We do not assert too much when we say, that the
three days, exercises have never been excelled by
any similar examinations that we have had the hon
or to witness. The original speeches, compo i
tions, and concert, would have reflected credit on
the best institutions in Georgia. We, therefore,
take pleasure in recommending the Thomaston
Schools to the public generally, and hope that the
pleasant and healthy location, and the character of
Messrs. Sayles and Sheridan, as teachers of the
first order, together with competent assistance,
will demand attention, and a liberal patronage from
the public. The exercises of the School will be
resumed on the first Monday- in September.

Read the following Testimonials of the
efficacy of Dr. A. IV. Coleman’s Anti-Dysi
peptic’ and Tonic Bitters. From Dr. F.'ll,
Kelly,Surgeon, City llo*pit*!. Mi bile:
Mobile, March Ist, IS4S.
Mr. E. D. Coleman—
Sir—This is o certify that I have made frequent
use of your valuable Anti-Dyspeptic and Tonic Bit
ters, both in hospital and private practice, and to
the many testimonials of the efficacy and good ei
fccts ol ’tliis medicine, I now add mv own.
Very respectfully, F. 11. KELLY, M. D.,
.Physician City Hospital,
To tlie Public,
J)5” I have been the victim of Dyspepsia, Liver
Complaint, Constipation of the Bowels, and General
Debility, for some two years or more previous to
December last, my appetite had failed, I suffered
from continued heaviness in or about the region of
the Liver, Flatulence, difficulty in getting my breath ;
my bowels were constipated to bucli an extent that
I could get an evacuation .only after taking si-mo
drastic purgative. I was compelled to live on light
diet,such as gruel, broths, &c., until mv strength
was completely exhausted, and I reduced almost to
a skeleton. During the time of illness | have had
the attendance and advice of the first Physicians of
the South and West (to whom reference can bo
had.) I was discharged as incurable, all pronouns
ing my caso a hopeless one. In consequence of
which, and the complication of diseases, and tho
suffering I labored under, I had become a very
misanthrope. I had given up indespair, as my di*-
easo had baffled not only professional men, but all
the nostrums of the day bed failed. Seeing Dr. A.
W. Coleman’s Anti-Dyspeptic and Tonic Bitt*rs
advertised, I concluded as a dernier resort to try
them. I commenced using them on the 13th Do,
comber last, and before I had used the third bottle
my bowels regained their regular and natural state,
my appetite improved, no food that 1 now eat disa
grecs with me, my complexion changed and all tho
disagreeable feelingsaml diseases I formerly suffoo
eJ with, have left me. I have regained my health
and strength to an extent I never anticipated, anil
I now return to Evansville, Indiana, my place ot
residence, to my family, feeling that 1 have anew
lease on my life. FREDERICK CNNOLD.

Mobile, March 3, 184S.
Sir—l knew your father —the late Dr. A. W.
Coleman—intimately, upwards of twenty years ago
—he was a regular Physician of extensive practice.
His Anti-Dyspeptic and Tonic Hitters were then, as
now, celebrated in cases of Dyspepsia, Liver Con>-
plaint, General Derangement of the System, and
in all cases where Tonics were indicated.
1 have known many persons immediately ami per
manently relieved by the use of them.

LIVER AND DYSPEPTIC 1 MEDICNE.
THIS Medicine is especially retommrnded lor
ail Chronic Liver affections and DJ-spepsy. It
has been favorably received wherever it has beou
used: for which fact reference is made to Mr.
George Heard of Troup, Dr. Thomas Grimes and
A Mr. Joel E. Hurt, of Columbus, Mr. sbury Hull
of Athens, Mr. Wm. D. Terrell of Putnam, and
Rev. John E. Daws on of LaGrange,
Habitual costivenessis found very frequently con
nected with feeble constitution-, and persons ofsad
antary- habits. For this condition of the system
this article is confidently recommended, and in all
-cases has been found to .act as a pleasant cordial anal
tonic, restoring the appetite, and at the same time,
fulfilling every indication that thi common purging;
medicines are designed to effect-.
Persons subject to Rllions CHollc may
rely on the preventative properties of this medicine!
—use it on the first intimation of an approaching at
tack.
There hre some constitutions liable to,
regular attacks ol’Bilious fever almost every fall, to
such, I recommend the use of this medicine, begin--
ning at least by the middle of May, of first of Juno.
Many persons Whose Digestive organ*
are feeble, oftch experience a sense of fill Hi ess,
weight, and oppression, about the stomach after
eating —in such cases a dose of this medicine will
often afford immediate relief.
Pregnant women often suffer trem Mart
burn and ccstivencss, they rnay.se the article with
out the least danger aud with gr at benefit. In
sick or nervous heud-aclie, it is a most valuable
medicine.
I coiild append a long list of certificates, hut for
bear, preferring to rely on the virtues of the mcL
icinc My sustain iisyjf. The inedicui* is a gentßs
a-nd certain cathartic, tonic and sudorific.

THESE eclrbrnted Pitts have become so fs
inous for their virtues in curing thio disease,
that but little need he said of them. Their action
up.o'n the system is wonderful—so wonderful that
they immediately arrest all pain in this disease,
matter of how long standing. The lady does not
require more than tyro or three pills, at any
before she finds herself easy and comfortable.
They need only.a trial by those who have been
accustomed to suffer the agonies of death, at oaeb
period, to find them a NEVER-FAILING REMEDY
ill bringing about regular, easy, and healthy nvefi
strual evacuations. The discovery of this medicine
is the result of long and attentive study, and wo#
made public from the most decided convictions
founded upon ample experience of its powers in
eradicating from the system every vex-jge oi'disesso
in the most intrnctible cases of Dysmenorrhea.
Wherever they have been used they hard univer
sally superseded the use of all remedies usual y
prescribed by the profession, and it is worthy
remark that the majority of those who have hern
permanently e.ured, had been abafidoned as lieyoixt
the reach of medical skill. Such is the fact, aod
so extraordinary were many of the cases cured;,
that they have only to be tried to convince the anM
incredulous that they are the only effectual semerfy
ever discovered that will posativeiv cure Dvstncnorr
hea, or painful Menstruation, in .-ill its stages.
Certificates of this clraracter cannot he given,
with propriety in a public journal. Posens inter
