All persons opposed to Van Buren and Dick
■Johnson, to a SHIN PLASTER currency,
to FEDERALISM, to the increase of the pay
■of the members of the Legislature to FIVE
DOLLARS per day, WIH VOTE FOR
GEORGE R. GILMER.
We perceive by the “ Louisville Journal” of the B:.h
inst., that the Rev. B. F. Farnsworth, who was lately
'ejected Professor of Belle Lettres and Moral Philosophy
in Franklin College, has declined the appointment; and
taken charge of the Louisville Collegiate Institute.
The Election.
The near approach of this eventful crisis and its im
portance to the people of Georgia, imposes on us the
duty of laying before our readers a tew amnTrorrar m
centivcs, to aid in removing from power those, who
have held the reins of government in Georgia for a few
years. It seldom happens that a people are called up
on to discharge a more important duty, or one fraught
y.ith more consequences either for good or for evil,
bestowing their suffrage in the coming election
The election of a Governor is at all times a matter of
serious import, involving questions of the highest impor
tance to the people, and should be calmly and dispas
sionately surveyed before discharging the duty. This
then is an Election of absorbing interest, involving as it
does not only the election of Governor, but of a Legisla
ture, whose duty it will be to elect the officers of the
State House, and seven Judges of the Superior Courts to
administer the laws of the country for the next three (
years.
We have repeatedly referred to the political charac
ters of the two candidates for the Executive office, and
know not that it will now be improper to recapitulate
some portion of our former remarks. We have shewn
to every impartial mind that, Governor Schley was a
FEDERALIST, of the blue light cast, that he refused
to exult at the triumph of his country over a foreign ene
my—that he has at one time been the advocate of a na
tional Bank, and at a subsequent period its opponent,
without offering to the people any plausible reason other
than the hope of office for his change of opinion—that he
ha« organized an armed force for the sole purpose of se
curing his re-election, and to keep in the pay of the State
len as officers, who had wormed themselves
ifidence and patronage by becoming brawl
is. But above all we have shewn that he has
is his aid, and sustained and supported by
ancc, a man whose known contempt for the
bjected him to the charge of numerous high
ors against the peace and dignity of the Stale;
le had sustained him with offices contrary to
1 admonitions of his friends, he has through
ofhis instruments, the directors of the Cen
utriigcd the good sense of a confiding people,
urn appointed to an important office within
For let it be asserted as often as it may, that
■the Governor had no agency in appointing Bishop as
3 Teller of the Central Bank, we care not; it is sufficient
J tor us to know that long prior to that, with a full knowl'
edge ofhis repeated violations of law, bis contempt of
f the Judicial authority and his usurpation of the most ar
’ bitrary and despotic rule over the citizens of Murray
county, Governor Schley sustained and supported him
that he gave him office after office, and continued to
heap honors and emoluments upon him. But shall we
’Wop here? Shall we not rather again lay open before
you his Excellency’s violation of his positive and un
qualified contract, to pay for the necessaries purchased
for the soldiers, by Capt. Meriwether and oilier officers
in Macon ? Here was a positive instruction to purchase
the clothing, and a subsequent agreement to pay for it ;
after the clothing had been purchased. Notwithstand-
E. hich, when the bill was presented even after the ;
of a law for its payment, he refuses and alledges j
charges arc extravagant. —Extravagant! Ah I
tence comes this charge of extravagance ? Who 1
has suddenly become so exceedingly economi
e people's money? Is it that man who as Gov- |
the State sanctioned the increase of his own I
're-elected, to 1000 dollars more than any other i
)r in the State has ever received ? Is it that .
man, who gave his assent to the increase of the pay of I
the members of the Legislature from four to five dollars I
a day?—Yes it is the same Hear it reader, that Gov- (
ernor Schley refused to pay for the clothing of soldiers,
who were engaged battling with the savage ; and ex
cuses himself by snying that overcoats which cost twelve
dollars were too good for a soldier to wear; but this
same Governor, readily assented to the increase of the ,
pay of members of the Legislature, to an amount that
will cost the State annually fifteen thousand dollars of
the people’s money more than formerly.
But let us turn from this disgusting picture, and for a
moment consider the claims of Mr. Gilmer, w tiosc name
has been announced for the same office. In him is
presented to the people of Georgia a man who was nur
tured in the cradle of Republicanism,—one whose first
acts on the theatre of public life was his defence by his
own arm of the innocent and helpless ofhis native State,
against the butchery of the ruthless savage,—one whose
high order of talents and unyielding honesty, has com
manded the respect, and elicited the admiration of one
of the most enlightened deliberative bodies in the world
<,f one who, while in the Executive Chair of Georgia,
was the Governor of the “State and not of a party”—of
x>ne who was not marked for his appointment to office
men who had no other qualification than that of being a
brawling partizan, without possessing a character even
for moral honesty.
Such a man isiGeorge R. Gilmer and such has been
his life- —Can the people hesitate which to choose ?

-which the Governor has been driven, in

1 JJelson, who is tocommand this force—tor which he wi J
receive Ninety Dollars a month, should copeur with the
Governor that it was proper, expedient'and necessary !
kAnd this is the kind of information whieX his Excellen
cy reKes On, to authorise the organization of a force,
k which will cost the State nearly half? Million of Dollars,
such information, no doubt, the Guard, placed at
EVcommand of the redoubtable Bishop in M irray
Bounty, was raised. And what the benefits arc, which
Bsm;ted.to the good citizens of that portion of the State,
Klthe Records of the Courts disclose, in exposing the
Bfciormitics which were committed by that Guard.
Maine Hactioa.
■Van Burcnism seems to ba on the wane in every see-
KL of the. Union where aitclcelion has been held for
M»last few months. In Maine—one of their strong
A, the election is just over, and the result from 210
L Xjipa heard from, pla</s the Whig Candidate 2100
■IL Wicad—no doubt is entertained of his election.
I As several Van Buren presses, anti especially
the Standard of Ua’rmijma attempted grossly to
■ mislead tho public mind, up ou the subject cf
. Mr. Gilmer’s vote in the Board of T
i Franklin College, in relation to exempting the
■ students of College from military duty, wc
I deem it but an act of justice to that gentleman
to set (he matter right b“fore the people
which is easily done by a simple and very short
( statement of facts, which, when known, will
| be satisfactory to evm-y candid mind, that the
j Standard of Union has bas.ly attempted to
i torture the transaction into a proof iL.,» Mr.
I Gilmer entertains opinions as untrue as they
are anti-republican.
The cliarg .• made, is this—that Mr. Gilmer,
in the Board of Trusses, voted for a motion
to exempt from militia duty the students of
branklin College; and thereby evinqed a de
sire to create a distinction in society between
the rich and the poor—between the sons of the
wealthy and the laboring classes of the com
munity, and intending to favor the former, by
exempting them from the performance of the
duties required of every citizen—in bearing
arms and defending his country. Now noth
ing is farther from the truth, as a plain state
ment of facts will shew.
Since the publicity given to this slander,
we have taken the pains to enquire into the
-water from those who were present on the
occasion alluded to, and vouch for the correct
ness of the statement. It is as follows :
In his communication to tha Board, the Pre
sident of the University, from an experience
of the evils resulting to tho students from the
use of fire-arms, and the performance of mili
tary duty in their volunteer company as well
as general musters six or seven miles from
Athens, recommended that an application b«
made to the Senatus Academicus to ask the
Legislature to remedy the evil, by exempting
l he students from militia duty. In accordance
with the recommendation of tho President, a
Committee of the Board reported an applica
tion to exempt from militia duty the studenls of
the College ; which, on Mr. Gilmer’s motion,
was so amended as to extend the exemption to
the scholars in every school in the Stale, and
that the exemption should only extend to said
studentsand scholars in time of peace. Now
from this statement, it will be seen that the
opinions of Mr. Gilmer are directly the reverse
of what is sought to be impressed npon the
public, mind as his opinions—that instead of
endeavoring to draw any line of distinction,
or make a difference between the students of
College and the son’s of ether citizens, or any
attempt to favor the former, —lhe direct tenden
cy and object of his amendment was to place
all classes of the community on the same footing.
The public will ba able, herefrom, to judge
with how much correctness this attempt to in
jure the candidate of tha State Rights Party
’ has been made.
| And just as groundless is lhe charge rela
tive to his recommendations and opinions about
Gold Mines, Indian testimony. In regard to this
matter, we would earnestly call the attgntign_of
j the pwriiic to the following facts: In 1825,
ffie party now opposed to Mr. Gilmer (having
then a large majority in the Legislature) pass
ed a law securing to lhe State all tho valuable
i ores, mines, and minerals in the lands belong-
I ing to the State, and making it punishable with
j confinement in the Pcnetentiary to sacrete or
carry any away—(see Dawson, 286.) In the
Senate, the vote for the law was 43 to 10. In
the House, it passed without any vote record
ed against it—(see Journal, 1825.) Among
those who voted for it in the Senate, were
Col. Tennelle, Col. Liddell, Gen. Coffee, Gan,
Walker, and Gen. Wooten, &c. This law? ,
which secured to the use of the State not only !
tha gold, but the silver, iron, copper, and all ;
other valuable minerals in tho lauds of the j
State, was rope. Jed in 1829, whilst Mr. Gil
mer was Governor of lhe State, and in accor
dance with his opinion eroressed freely to the ’
members of the Legislature.
The papers opposed to Mr. Gilmer, have
abused him without cessation for what he said
in his message to tho in 1830, up
on the subject of Indian testimony. What he |
did say in that messtig ', was to r.’commetld i
the repeal of the following section in the law ■
of 1829: “No Indian, or descendsnt of nuy j
Indian, resi ling within tho Creek or Cherokee
Nations of Indians, shall bo deemed a compe- *
tent witness in any Court of this State to j
which a white person may be a party, except I
such white person resides within tho said Na
tions."’—{See Dawson, 199.) By that law, j
Indians were made competent witnesses ■
against all white persons who resided in the j
Nations, and incompetent as to white pci sons ;
residing out of the Nations. 'I ho effect of I
this law, then, was to make Indians witnesses i
against (hose white persons most liable to be j
injured by their testimony (if their testimony I
was dangerous,) and to euab ? bad white men, i
who resided out of the Nation, or on the Iron- j
tier, to go among the Indians and steal irum
and murder them with impunity.

Congress.
For the latest information from this body, we refer our 1
readers to the correspondence of the C-hroniele fv Sen- j
tincl, which will be found in another part of this paper, j
The most important intelligence however which is con
tained therein, is the passage by the Senate of a bill
withholding from tho States the last instalment of the
Surplus Revenue. Should this pass' the House—>f l
which there is now no doubt, a large portion of the Coun
ties in Georgia will be cut off from their portion ol the
’distribution of the Central Bank.
Tl>e Public EZt-venuc iteHlral BSanii. I
It is now ascertained beyond doubt, that the last in- I
stallment of the Public Revenue, due to the State ci j
Georgia, will be withheld in accordance with the sug- I
gestion of tho President in his late incsuage. A bill has !
already passed the Senate and been sent to lhe House !
tor concurrence, and has perhaps ere this become a law, I
withholding the last installment due to this State. Il I
this is done, of which there is no doubt —-that portion of j
the people of the State, who reside in conodes not al- i
1 ready accommodated, will be cut off from all participn- ,
tiotr in the benefits which might have been i ft irded by ,
these loans. For the information of those concerned, '
we lay before our renders a list of those counites which i
will be cut off from noy participation in this loan, and |
j the amount of money which they would have received
had the loans been made.

This is peculiarly unfortunate for the Governor and
his directors of the Bank, who had calculated so largely
upon the influence these loans were to luive upon the
coming election. Let the people bear,in mind at the
election, that the improvidence, extravagance and folly
of the administration at Washington, have made it ne
cessary for Congress to withhold these amounts of
money from them. And let it be als® recollected that in
supporting Schley they are aiding and propping up the
Administration of Van Buren and Johnson whose ex
travagance have prevented these benefits accruing to
them.

Os the Grand Jury of Madison Superior Court,
September Term, 1837.
Wc the Grand Jury sworn chosen and se
lected, for the County of Madison, beg leave to
make the following presentments.
Fully aware that the right of Grand Juries
to take up and pass upon matters of a public
nature, has been questioned by mme, yet there
is at least one question, in which every iudi
j vidua! in this community, has such deep and
j vital interest, that we, us good Citizens, if not
I as Grand Jurors, feel fully warranted in be
-1 stowing upon it a passing notice. We allude
I to that vexed and long agitated question, the
j contemplated Court for the Correction of Er
! rors, —Believing as we do, that, i’ is utterly be
' yond the reach of human power, to show that
> there exists any real necessity for the esta-
I blishment of such a Court, that if established,
it will impose upon the good citizens of our
State, a heavy burden m the shape of expenses,
without conferiug so far as we can judge, any
j benefit on any person whatever.
I We know that it is urged by tho friends of
I the Court, that the additional expenses wil| be
• trifling, but talk not of a Court without expense,
I that would be an anomaly to the world. Fif- j
1 teen or twenty thousand dollars to be expended
yearly is no trifling matter, and less than this '
I would not do—docs any one in their senses be- !
, lieve that the Judges would be contented with
1 a salary of Jess than from three to five thou* ;
■ sand dollars, there must be three ofthem at I
j least together, with a reporter, having a salary |
j of fifteen hundred dollars, to say nothingof the j
j additional expense accruing to the parties iiti
-1 gant. It is said again, that uniformity in the
administration of our laws will be easily ob-
I tained by the establishment of the Court—Tho
! experience of other Staff s, and other commu
j nities, having a Supreme Judicial tribunal will
j not. warrant such a conclusion. Complex mid
! difficult points of law, have been decided dis
! lerently, even in cotnmu lilies blessed with the ,
j light and advantage of a Supreme Court, be- ■
| licving also, that most of the common princi- !
pies of law, are as well settled in Georgia us ;
elscwhurc. and that the ends of justice are gen
era'liy answered under our present Judiciary
system. We therefore recommend to our Se
n, ator ami Representatives in the next Legisla
i jur ■, to use their b st efforts to prevent. t!ie es
j fahlisliment of said Court.
I .Ve invite particular attention to another
I subject of absorbing interest—Charter after
j charter, has beet) granted to Banking Ccrpo
! rations by »ur legislature, until the whole coun-’
! try has beet.* flooded with paper currency, the
i value of which cannot now be estimated as
nearly all lhe BiJiks have suspended specie
payments, the consequence is, we are now
threatened with bmkruptcy and ruin—Not
withstanding the extreme liberality of the Le.
• “islaturc iu granting Charters, there is yet a
manifest disposition on the part of some ol the
Banks to violate the interest and meaning ol a
well known law of Georgia, by putting in cir-
j culation a number of what is very uppropriate
! ly denominated slii.i plasters, thus violating
i plainly and palpably the intent of the law
I prohibiting the circttiafion of Bank notes, uii-
I d-er the denomination of live dollars, —We se-
I riouslv deprecate such a siateo! things to pre
! vent the recurri-nee of which, we urge upon
' our senator anil representatives in the r.ext
\ legislature th? necessity of granting no more
; Bank Charters.
We recommend to th” 1 nf.rior Court, of our
| County, the propriety of taking immediate
! measures to i .clos.i tho Court-house yard,
i leveling the same a*id pLinti ig shade trees.

AND
PHOENIX BITTERS.
FglllE high and envied celebrity which this
1 preeminent medicine has acquired for its
invariable efficacy in all the diseases which it
professes to cure, has rendered the usual prac
tice of ostentatious puffing, not only unnecessa
ry, but unworthy of them. They are known
by their fruits; their good works testify for them,
and they thrive not by the faith of the credulous.
In all cases of Costiveness, Dyspepsia, Billious
and Liver Affections, Asthma, Piles, Settled
Pains, Rheumatism, whether chronic or inflam
matory, Fevers and Agues, obstinate Headaches
Impure State of the Fluids, unhealthy appear
ance of the skin, Nervous Debility, the sickness
incident to females in delicate health, every kind
of weakness of the digestive organs, and m all
general derangements of health, these medicines
have invariably proved a certain and speedy
remedy. They restore vigorous health to the
most, exhausted constitutions. A single trial
will place the LIFE PILLS and PHCENIX BIT
TERS beyond the reach of competition, in tfc
estimation of every patient.
Happy and grateful in the possession of a
medicine which effects so much real and perma
nent good for his fellow creatures, MR. MOF
FAT begs to say, that he cannot abuse the gift
of Providence, and assail the health ot the com
munity, by adopting the mercenary practice of
‘“'•ommending them to Ite taken in inordinate
qnaniu; cs From two to five Pills is an ade
quate ana proper dose of any good medicine in
this form ; ana ,| K , excessive quantities, which
the public are ta ]r e p,y o t} lPr practi
tioners, qnty engemitp, t ]- le rumors and corrup
tions whicn they profess to remove. Remove
them they may, but they them firfti and
the debilitated patient is to t, e a pi]|_
swallower to the end of his days. M r . Moffat,
wishes to benefit the public health, llot t 0
destroy it for money.
THOSE WHO ARE LABORING UNDER
SICKNESS, can at once relieve themselves"
from the thousand maladies that flesh is heir to
I if they will onl y follow the counsels of nature,
j and take that medicine whica best assists her in
her operations. That medicine is the Vegeta
ble Life Pills of John Moffat. The wonderful
and miraculous cures which his Life Pills and
Phoenix Bitters have every where performed,
placethem abive all other medicines ever offer
ed to the public. Composed"entirely of vegeta
substances they overcome the disease without
corrupting the blood or weakening and destroy
ing the constitution. Their nature is eueh that
! when taken into the stomach they are digested
like oilier food, and arc distributed throughout
the whole system ; giving additional strength
to the sound parts, and purifying and restoring
the weak and disecsed. They not only act as a
purgative in cleansing the bowels of all impuri
ties, but they open the pores of lhe whole body,
asuist and promote all the animal secretions,
and give a healthy vigor to ttie whole system.
This is not idle declamation uttered without
I truth and only for effect, but is fully corrobora
j led by innumerable letters and certificates
I which daily pour in upon the proprietor of the
Vegetable Life Pills, from thousands who are
: grateful for a recovery of their health—a reeov
j ery which all other remedies had failed to pro
j cure them, and which they despaired of ever
i receiving. It is thus fully proved that the ope
! rations of nature are simple, and that diseases
of all kinds may easily be eradicated if the right
course is taken to effect their cure. That course
I we repent, is to use Mi fat’s Life Pillsand Phx
( nix Bitters. The beneficial results they pro
duce on the human system are apparent as soon
!as thair use is commenced. A single box can-
I not be taken without giving a relief so the suf
r serer which will convince him of their efficacy.
All who value their health, their time and their
monev, will at least try the Life Pills when at
; tricked with sickness. Being composed entire
< ly of vegetables no injury can possibly arise
! from such a triaVand once tried they will for
j ever supersede the necessity of a physician’s
I services, or a physician’s exhorbitant charges,
j Nor will they run any risk of having their fu-
I tore lives rendered miserable by mineral poisins.
i Arsenic, it.is well known, destroys life in a short
half hour, and yet it is administered by our li
censed M. D’s. as a medicine—it is regarded by
them as the most powerful antisepectic known.
Antimony, scarcely less deleterious, composes
tho greater part of their most effective febrifu
ges. The poison of calcinee quicksilver is ra
pid ; yet in accordance with the prescriptions of
the learned faculty, it is swallowed bv the ounce,
! Opium is death ; yet dose after dose is taken by
j the strong man to the utter ruin of his. Ziealth,
1 and thousanes of delicate ladies are provided |
with a laudanum bottle in their reticules. Such !
are the remedies of the popular physicians of i
the day. and such are their methods of restoring j
i the sick to health. The art of extractink pow
j erful poisons from simple plants constitutes the
; science of medicine so much boasted of by the
legal dispensers of arsenic and prussic aeid.—
But, reader, will you throw aside the harmless
and effective medicines provided by nature for
the cure of disease, to swallow drugs which are
the bane of life? If thou hast, return to the
simplicity inteuced for man. Know that the
art of expelling sicknrss from the human frame
is not so complex as the artful zEsculapiuns
I woulo have the believe, and from which belief j
( they are enriched. A vegetable medicine, which !
acts as a beneficial, harmless, and efficient pur- ]
| gntive, which promotes a suppressed perspira- (
lion, which gives strength anil vigor to the ner-j
vo'.is system. np<l which aids nature in all those i
secretions which tire so necessary to health—a j
medicine like this is the desideratum winch has |
so long been wan tin £ for the cure if till diseases.
Such a medicine is MOFFAT’S VEGETABLE
LIFE PILES. Readef. ifthou art afflicted with
i any of the numerous aches and pains to which
[ poor humanity is so unhappily subject, cal! at I
No. 546 Broadway, and in Moffats’ 4 egetablc |
Life Pills wilt thou find a. panacea which will
certainly restore thee to all thy pristine health. I
’i’Esc Teases arc saiHy !
In almost every walk of life, the truth of this
proverb stares onu full in the face. But go i
where wc may, and in what shape or form shall
wc find the times so sadly changed as in the
pract ice of medicine. Does a man catch a seri
ous cold—he must take a dose, of calomel and
jalap ; should ho have a foul and billious stom- I
ach, it will take a box of blue pills, or a package
ofneat little powers --giipregnated with tha all
infallible mercury, to TOieve him. A twinge of
the gout. —a limb swelled with Rheumatism—a
pain in the side—a severe headache—in fact, al
most every species of disease to which human
nature is liable, however slight may be the at
tack, this universal p ison is employed to relieve
suffering humanity—not only employed, but a
heavy expense is actually incurred by the suf
ferer, lor prescribing, nr ordering from the apoth
ecary, tiffs wonderful mineral in all its diversi
fied forms. *_
Let u.s lock at tho. result. In New Y'ork, with
a population of 270,000, we have upwards of
8,000 deaths per annum. In this intelligent city,
then, where most people are so careful of their
health as to coniine themselves during the slight
est attack, and call in medical advice, we have
about3odeaths among every 1000 inhabitants.
Mark the contrast ! I can point out a single
town in New England, (for,be it known,l was
born of, and reared by, the descendants of our
pilgrim fathers.) I say I can point out. a single
'own, within 24 hours ride of New York, con
taining 4<4f>o inhabitants, where does not
occur ten deaths wit bin the many <t
i.hsse tire pctsoiis from seventy years
of age !
The principal physician in this place is Dr.
u~es principally vegetable medicines prepared
by his own hands—it is only in some desperate
•i.ses tb it he employs :m rcury, or colomel, iu
■invjshape. The consequence is he is suceess
ul 1:1 the highest degree in his practice—and *s
l equently ce'lc.il 20 miles distant. 1 may fur
’ her remark, h <s a conscientious man— for he
u ver attempt#.tli<? tseutment ci a case that he
locs not understand. •_
1 might adduce a thowand instances where
lie happy effect® of tny own medicines, the Life
Pills and Phcenix Bitters, have oecn plainly
nan.’fest in desp rade cases— to say nothing ol
their almost universal approval in ordinary at
...cksof disease. Ido not offer my medicines to
I the public as infallible, or as possessing any |
mysterious ingredients. I offer them solely as I
good vegetablepreperations, which I solemnly be- j
lieve will, by a fair trial, conquer most of the ’
prevalent diseases of the day. I have in iny of
fice, 546 Broadway, indubitable proofs of this
fact. Thousands of my fellow-citizens, in all
l-’irts of the Union, have voluntarily sent me
the most flattesing, of their experi
enee’iii the use of the Life Pillk and Phoenix
Bitters. nian y hopeless cases in this city aud
eisew' hP) . e . j have personally attended; all winch
have proved favorably to my previously formed
opinion, tliat in'nine cases out of ten, among
the ordinary diseases which our physicians uni
versally treat with preperations from calomel
and other minerals— a good vegetable medicine
would befmrpreferable.
One vvotd, then, of advice. The Life Pills
and Flicetiix ILtters are purely vegetable. In
their optgation, they act powerfully upon the
secretions, and thus tend to equalize the distri
bution of circulation of the blood throughout the
system—removing therefrom all bad humors,
and restoring even to the. complexion of the in
valid a pleasing glow of health, which he after
wards retaiss. There are many young persons
ol sedentary occupations, particularly females,
who are often afflicted with an oppression of the
internal orgf»ns—which is generally the effect
of an unequal distribution of the blood, conse
quent on their employment. Such afflictions,
though slight m themselves, tooofteu,by insen
sible degrees, lay the foundation of tubercles in
the lungseendolher maladies, which show ihem
selves only wken arrived at an incurable stage.
All who health, will take warning from
signs like these, and never rest until the equili
brium be restored. It is by culpable neglect in
such slight cases, that many good constitutions
are ruined, and many nervous and pulmonary
complaints broilgla on to embitter existence.
fads Ftrr
\ our bad health or disease® to< “ise from
the want of any thing y#ue»“ ‘ d rinkl£our bo
dies either in the shape of ’ a c medi
cines, or air; but soleiv^V?Tuere4’r‘ , 7humor
'"'hich must be as one
wquij extract a thorn from his flee.., which gave
pain. Thi“ is always the case, even with the
most cm-atiated and weak of all invalids. The
cause of this emaciated weakness is a corrupt
tenacious hutnev, w hich requires to be eradi
cated.
I or this humor, we, have an undoubted and
speedy remedy m Mossk T ’ s Life Pills and
Phcenix Bitters ; and it ia therefore every
man’s own fault if he does not enjoy good
health.
Nine-tenths of the drugs which are purchas
ed, by prescription of a physician, have no one
healing virtue in them ; they harass the patient
—he feels sore and weak in both body and mind
—no appetite or energy; and they tear and
wear the stomach and bowels. After taking
Mr. M«ffat’s medicines, all your functions are
improved—yon feel new life and strength—they
warm and comfort and search the whole body.
However briskly they may have operated over
night, in tho morning,by breakfast time, it is all
over, ynd jour stomach won’t refuse any solid
food, in moderation. How very different from
deluging your stomach the whole day, after salts
and calomel, with tea and broths! Having
onee tried the Life Pills, one is surprised at
the infilfoation tliat prevails for the pernicious
prescriptions of dr"ggists. There is no end,
neither, to the precautions that must be observ.
ed in taking such prescriptions—such as dread
of catching cold, abstaining from all fruits and
acids, &c. With the Life medicines nothing
of the kind is required. You may take exercise
immediately, put yourself in any situation, and
eat of any thing with moderation.
In desperate cases of sickness, too, the Live
medicines aje, nine times out often, all-sufflct
ent. They act vigilantly and very powerfully
upon the secretions of the body, and should be
resorted to, on all occasions, in preference to
that universal poison, Mercury. Mr. Moffat’s
medicines arc purely vegetable—and experience
hns taught him that such are the only true al
ternatives.
A CONTRAST,
| All nations, from the remotest ages,have had
j ships, but Columbus only found out the way to
j America. Before the time of the great Spanish
navigator, people were only enabled to paddle

cines. It is but two short years, »in£e. -- L is ** c
