Thundering Spring.
THE proprietors of this natural curiosity, respect ;
fully inform their friends and the travelling public
generally, that they art prepared to accommodate all
who may favor them with a call. The very short
period which has intervened since their purchase,
added to a scarcity of materials, has rendered it dif
ficult to improve as extensively ns they desired; yet
th y know themselves willing to devote their undivi
ded attention to promote the comfort and convenience
of visitors and travelers.
The water combines high medicinal qualities, con
mining strong impregnations of Saltpetre, A/agnesia,
&e. t ascertained from n partial analysis. We deem
it uumre&sary to append to this notice, a list of cer
tificate r Entire to cures effected by using the water
as the doubts ofthe sceptical would not be refilled, |
and those who woukf nelicve, may credit the asser- !
lion.as such can be proved at any time. Several
cases of violent Rheumatism have been enlirely re
lieved ; also Tetter, Scaldhead, running Ulcers, Sue.
Ind viduals laboring under Dyspepsia, will expe
rience great relief from the use of the water. It is
known tobe highly efficacious in relieving all cutane- •
ous diseases.
It is due to ourselves, and for the information of
the public at large, to state at leaf t some of the mineral
properties oft he water; and also the nature of some
of the diseases which have been cured at this place.
We are aware ofthe prejudices generally engendered
by vaunting advertisements of like character.
The location of the spring in Upson county, is in
a healthy region nearly surround and by large hills on
the north siaeof th* Pine Mountain. A considera
ble quantity of game abounds in the woods adjacent
for the and dight of sportsmen; ar.d Flint R ver is suffi
ciently contiguous to afford amusement tothe angler.
Families desiring it, can find ample seclusion from j
dusty streets and miasmatic regions of the lower 1
| counties, at the Thundering Spring,* where no pains
will lie spared on the part of the proprietors, to rend
! er their visit s^reeabb*.
Gamine and other irregularities will be prohibited. I
Good ord r will be strictly enforced.
Afflicted persons will hav<* a seperate table prepar
ed if desired, where they can have all the attention
paid hem they may require.

Life Pills and Phoenix Bitters.
Health- the Poor man’s wealth—the Rich Man’s
Bliss.
The cause of bilious complaint’s
AND A MODE OF CURE.—A well regu
lated and proportionate quantity of bile upon the
stomach is always requisite for the promotion of
sound health—it stimulates digestion, and keci s the
intestinal canal free from all obstructions. On the
■ interior sm face of the liver is u peculiar bladder, in
which the bile is first preserved, being formed by the
liver from the blood. Thence it passes into the stom
ach and intestines, and regulates the indigestion.
Thus we see when there is a dt firiency of bil<*, the
body is constantly costive. On the other hand, an
overabundance ol bile, causes ‘frequent nausea in the
stomach ; and often promotes very severe attacks of
disease, which sometimes end in dentil.
Fevers always procede by symtoms of a disor
dered stomach ; as are also scrofulous disorders,
and all symnathetical functional, organic or febrile
diseases. From the same cause, the natural and
healthy action ot the heart, and the whole vascular
system is inquired and redueid below its natural stan
dard; as exhibited in palpitations, languid pulse,
torpors of the limbs, syncope, and even death itself,
in consequence of an overabundance of a peculiar of
fensive substance to the digestive organs.
The approach of bilious diseases is at all times
attended by decided symptoms of an existing disea
sed state ofthe s omaeli and bowels; i. e. with those
signs which are known to point out their contents
tobe of a morbid irritating nature} but whenever
tilt? alimentary canal happens to be loaded with irri
tating matter, some derangement of the healthy ope
ration, either of the general system, or • fsoine partic
ular organ of the body is the certain result : and
when this state happens to be united with any other
symptoms of disease its eilects are always thereby
much aggravoti and The progress oforganic obstruc
tion is open so rapid as scarely to admit of time for
the application of such aid ns is to be offered by art,
vet, in general, the premonitory symptoms of gastric
load are perceptible for n day or two previous to the
feverish paroxism, a period, when the mutt effic cions
assistance may he given, by unloading the stomach
and alimentary canal of its irritating contents, and
thus reducing the susceptibility of disease.
MOFFAT’S LIFE MEDICINE S, should always
be taken in the early stages of billious complaints;
and if persevered in strictly according to the direc
tions, will positively effect a cure.
The mineral medicines often prescribed in these dis
eases, although they may effect a temporary cure, at
the. same time create an unhealthy state, of the blood,
and consequently tend to promote a return ofthe very
disease which they are employed to cure. Ii is then
by the. use of purgatives, exclusively formed of vege
table compounds, which, possessing within them
selves no deleterious agencies, which decomposition,
combination, or alteration can develope or bring into
action; and therefor* capable of producing no effect,
save that which is desired—that a safe rein.-dy is
found. A
The. LIFE PILLS and PHENIX BITTERS |
iiaveproved to be. the most happy in their effects in
cuscß of bilious diseases, of anv purely vegetable
preparation ever offered to the public. Ifthe stomach |
is foul, they cleanse it by exciting it to throw of its’
contents; if not, they pass to the duodenum without
exciting vomiting or nausea in the stomach; stimulat
ing the neighboring viceru.as the liver and puncrus,
so as to produce a more copious flow oftheir secret ions
into the intestines; stimulating thccxhalcnt capillar
ies, terminating in the inner coat, which an increased !
flow ofthe useless particles ofthe body, foreign mat
ters, or retained secretions, are completely discharg- \

Fever am! A&ue Positively
Cured.
TETever and A N**c h; a most obstinate disease,
-ML and in warm and humid climates, frequently re- I
situs every ordiniary mode of cure, so as to become |
very distressing to the patient; and by the extreme
debility which the disease induces, it often gives rise |
to other chronic complaints. Marsh miasmata, or i
the effluvia arising from stagnant water, is the most I
frequent exciting cause of this disease; arid one of
its great peculiarities is its susceptibility of a renew
al from very slight causes, such us from the preva
lence of an easterly wind—-even without the repeti
tion of the original exciting cause. In this, Fever
and Ague differs from most ot her fevers; as it is well
known, that after an ordinary fever has once occur
red and been removed, the person affected is not so
liable to a fresh attack as one who was not so affect
ed, These circumstances render it extremely difficult
to effect a permanent cure of Fever and Ague, though
to relieve the patient for the time being is a very easy
tusk.
MOFFAT’R T ?FE PILLS AND PHENIX
BI JPTF.RS have been thoroughly tested, and
proved to be a POSITIVE AND RADICAL Cure
of Fever oral Ague. Hundreds of iiis fellow-citi
zens in the W hi, have voluntarily come forward to
assure Mr. MOFFAT that the LIFE MEDICINS
aretheonly medicines that will THORCJGHLY ef
fect a removal of this most tedious and disagreeable
disease.
Others who have emigrated to that rich and prom
ising portion ofotir country —men who went out full
of hope, and con fid ntof winning a competence from
the luxuriance of the soil; or who carried to the out
posts of our settlements the mercantile or mechanicle
experience won in the crowded cities and tov/ns of
the old *r states, have either returned with shattered
constitutions and and pr<d spirits, or they remain
in their new homes, dragging out a weary life ; at
last to sink under some disease to which they are
predispos'd by that terror of the West, the FEVER
AND AGUE. Their hopes are blasted —their busi
ness energies destroyed— th°ir El Dorado becomes a
desert, and the word of promise, made to the ear, is
broken to the hope.
To the e Individuals, Mr. Moffat would say —
“Try the LIFE MEDICINES, and youwi.l yet an
ticipate your most sanguine expectations, for they
will certainly restore you to health.”
FEVER AND AGUE is a complaint which re
quires to be met at its first approach, und combatted
atevery stage. Seldom fatal of itself, it reduces the
strength, and impares the functions of the organs, so
that upon the manifestation of disease Nature is un
able, unassisted, to resist the inroade. The Life
Medicines, when taken strictly according to direc
tions wiil cure iift s and give to the weak and tremb
ling victim of disease, new health, Ufa, und strength.
For full particulars of the mode of treatment, the
reader is referred to the Good Samaritan, a copy of
which accompanies the medicine. A copy may lie
obtained of the different agents who have the medi
cine for safa.
French, German, and Spanish directons can be
obtained on application at the office, 375 Broadway.
All post letters will receive immedi tenttention.

Fed by tile vernal rains,
Murmuring down the mount,
And spreading o'or the plains ;
But soon the mid.day summer’s sun
Dri'd up the fount—it ceased to run.
I’ve seen the starry sky
Sparkling in beauty bright—
Myriads of gems on high
Diffuse their pallid light;
But soon the gloomy clouds oVrsprend,
And all its cheering beauties lied.
I've s ten the blooming flower,
Where thousands did abound,
Diffuse with magic power
Its sweets o’er all around;
But soon the mower passed that way;
With grass, ho left it to decay.
I’ve seen the oak tree spread
Its verdant branches wide;
And to its cooling shade,
The panting cattle hied;
But soon the mighty tempest came,
And prostrate laid it on the plain.
I*o seen the buoyant roe,
Along (he verdant brae,
Wnere murmuring waters flow,
In cheerful gambols play ;
The hunter passed—a single gun—
And all its gambollings were done.
I vcsrcn the mellow (brush,
With bright, elastic wing,
Flitting fro . bush to bush,
And merry sing;
But soon the fowler passed t hat way,
And all its wurblings ceased to play.
I’ve seen the blooming youth,
With prospects bright und fair;
And hop ’s of life forsooth,
B n:uilingevery care;
But soon—un warn ‘d —disease came on
And loves, hopes, life, and all, were gone.

FOR THE DAItIEN HERALD.
Home 1
Ever since the formation of society, or since
men became endeared to each other by the
tender ties of friendship, or the more binding j
ones of relationship, to bid the last farewell, j
has called forth the sympathy, and awakened j
the tender feelings of sorrow in the human J
breast. Perhaps it was the fear of final sepa- j
ration, that prompted those who dwelt on |
Shinar’s plain, to erect Babylon’s huge fabric,
whose towering head might penetrate the
clouds, and be seen to an almost immeasura
ble distance on every side, as a landmark to
which they could return at stated periods, to
see their friends, which, neither length of time
nor distance of place, could efface from their
remembrance. In every circumstance of life,
we see how man loves and cherishes remem
brance of home; and when compelled by stern
necessity, to leave his native soil, and hie to
di tant shores, he feels as if life itself was not
dearer to him than his beloved home. Behold
the exile, when forced to leave behind him the
land in which every object of his affection re
mains. Who can describe the anguish with
which his breast is agitated, when about to set
foot on the ship that is to waft him to other
climes, far distant from lira friends and home,
the objects of his warmest love. In the very
sound, farewell, there is a secret something that |
strikes thesympathetic feelings, andawakesthe
softer emotions of the soul, but under circum
stances like those, to bid adieu to his beloved
friends, the companions of his youth, and pro
tectors of his infant years, and be exiled from all
that his soul holds dear on earth, is calculated to
produce feelings of the deepest anguish. His
mind is enshrouded in all the darkness of grief,
and nothing can disperse the gloom, but a resto
ration of the privileges of the land of his birth.
While the ship, with full spreading canvass,
sails majestically oat of the port, and all the
crew returning home, give signs of joy, he
stands upon the deck, and with intensity of
grief, listens, while the hoarse rough murmur
of the waves that lash the sounding shore, die
away upon his ear. He beholds the shore re
ceding from his view, then the cottage that
skirts the edge of his native town, and last of
all, the tall spires lose themselves in the distant
horizon, and then farewell, with a deep groan,
breaks from his bleeding breast. The curiosi
ty, which all display upon their first voyage is
destroyed by the power of grief. His attention
is not attracted by the wonders of the deep,
nor by the recital of the 1 hair breadth escapes”
of the mariners. The wonderful appearance
of the morning sun, rising from his oozy bed,
startles him not from that depth of thought,
in which the force of grief has wrapt him. He
observes not the beauties of pale Luna, riding
in cloudless majesty, shedding abroad her sil
very rays, which, reflected by the unruffled
surface ofthe wate~y expanse, presents a scene
beautiful, and grand beyond the power of de
scription. Nature in vain spreads before him
all her beauties, and opens these er.char.tiag
scenes, which delight, and fill the cheerful mind
with pleasure. But all is darknessaud sorrow
within, not a ray of hope darts through the
dreadful gloom. When, after having passed
through the surging billows, he comes in view
of a beautiful and luxuriant country, which
spreads before him every luxury and blessing
of life, yet still he fiade himself a lonely and

disconsolate wanderer. He meets with a peo
ple kind and hospitable, willing to confer every
kindness upon him, if he but show himself
worthy—yet all this, however soothing it may
be, drives not away the remembrance of the
green fields, the rippling streams and shady
grovesof his youthful home. Frequently, in
the “feverish dreams” of fancy, he finds him
self wafted across the stormy ocean, and plage
ed in the circle of his youthful associates, en.
joying all the happiness that results from true
friendship. His mind freed from those tumuj
tuous passions by which it is agitated In hj
waking hours, rises on the airy wing of
imagination, and revels in all the delightful
scenery, which such visions are calculated to
produce.—But fancy’s illusive dreams are not
long to be enjoyed. “Recollection at hand,*’
soon dissipates the visionary joy, and learns
him to mourn the fallacy of these deceptive
dreams. He awakes and still finds himself the
viciini of misery, without any prospect of an
escape from under its pressure. Time, that
destroys the proudest monuments of human
greatness; and levels all the distinctions of
mortals, cannot efface the tender feelings of
sorrow from his soul. Although the intensity
of his grief may be somewhat allayed, yet still,
in the moments of serious reflection, he is forc
ed to pay the tribute of a sigh to the “remem
brance of happiet days. To him the remem
brance of days that are past, is pleasing and
melancholy to the soul.” Thus is the life of
the exile embittered; when every prospect
shone without an intervening cloud to obscure
its lustre, when all things appeared favourable
to his designs and hopes, he is driven by the
hand ofoppression to seek refuge on a foreign
shore.
There is perhaps no subject, upon which an
individual may dwell in a musing mood, with
more pleasure than the home of childhood, and
recall to tnind the. visions of youth. I have
seen the infant sporting around the fireside, the
child gamboling upon the green sword in his
parent’s door yard, the youth chasing the red
deer over the plains and hills of his nativity,
and the man laboring in the field once his
parent’s. I have seen these, and there was
pleasure beaming in the eye of each and hap
piness seemed to sparkle around their brow.
1 have seen the wanderer without a home
no mother, no father, brother, sister, or friend,
I have seen him die and as he pronounced his
last sad farewell to those around him, I have
heard him say:—“once I had a home and
friends now I have neither: —but 1 am going
to my long, long home, and there I shall meej
those I love.” Such is reality and were you
to tell the child or the youth, that the timp
would arrive when he would weep over depar
ted friends, and seek hi vain a home, that the
time would come when he would have no
mother to soothe the furrows of his cheek, no
sister to greet him with her smiles, and he
would turn from the subject as though it were
impossible. But such, I say is reality, such
are the changing scenes of life.
It was a cold evening in December—the
wind blew fiercely, and rattled thesieet against
the windows, as I sat by a blazing fire” hun
dreds of miles from home, and at a distance
from any friend. As thus J sut musing I fell
into a deep revery, and various were the vis
ions that flitted before me. I saw an aged man,
tottering before me, and tears gushing from
his dimmed eyes. I was gazing on him in
astonishment, wondering at his grief—when a
fair form stood by my side, and thus addressed
me:—“Friend, do you sec that aged man, and
lhe tears that are gushing from his cheek?
Once lie was as gay and as hnppv as yourself!”
But Care and sorrow have frosted his head and
his cheek. That beautiful little cot
tage, by the side of which lie stands, was once
his home, but yesterday it passed uudei the
hammer of the auctioneer, and he was compel
led to leave it. Beneath the little bower in
front of the cottage, lies his wife, and only son.
He is the remnant of a once numerous and
respectable family. All have passed away—
and he has been driven by a savage creditor,
to wander friendless, and pennyless, among
the cold unfeeling, inhabitants of this world.
Could you read his thoughts, what a vast num
ber of scenes and objects are flitting before him.
Look at him, about leaving, and perhaps for
ever, the place of his nativity—the pleasant re
sidence he has called his home for years. I
say could you read his thoughts—you would
behold the many fond recollections—the hours
of gloom and sorrow, and the years of bliss and
happiness that flit like a vision before him, and
would fain induce him to stay —to linger yet a
little while upon this beloved spot. He looks
as through a cloud to gaze on the fair moon,
and beholds himself in childhood—beholds
himself in those years when his imagination
was chained, when it was limited—and he
scarce looked beyond the sitting of the Sun in
point of time, and not beyond his fond parent’s
door yard in relation to the immensity of dis
tance, —the unfounded extensions of the
Globe, —and but to the very moment he enjoys,
as to futurity. H:; parents -h:s only scarce of
happiness, end his toys, the di-rites of life-
From this period you may trace his thoughts
through, every change that has taken place in
his existence. You can see him sporting on
the green, with his companions,—jerking the
speckled trout, from the mountain stream,
trudging to school with his book under bis
arm, chasing the bulterflifes, as they flit acres
his path—pouring over hie studies :-schoc,,
