the REFORMER.
The undersigned propose to publish in Augusta,
7 a weekI >'P 3 ? t* he entitled The Reformer,
0 extia imperial size, from the 10th of May to
the 10th of November next, for Ore Dollar in
advance. As its name indicates, it will be devoted
exclusively to the cause of Reform, the elevation
of WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON, of Ohio, for
1 resident, and JOHN TYI.ER, of Virginia, for
V ice President, and the subversion of the present
Administration, the necessity of reform in which
is be oming every day more and more apparent. —
It will observe a mild, dignified tone, and address
itself to the common sense of every class of citi-
Z6ns, lor whose benefit it is desi^^ned.
Phis Prospectus is issued under the impression
that the friends of reform will make a unittd and
zealous effort to give the paper a general circula
tion, in short to send it to the house of every man
who reads. The People want light, and if our
friends will aid us in our work, we shall be able to
counteract the thousand calumnies of the Van
Buren presses, and carry the "war into Africa.”—
In the language of a distinguished co-worker, "All
we ask is to be heard by the people. It is for
them we speak, and if \vc can get a hearing, we
have no fears of the result,” even in Georgia. —
"The people will vindicate their wrongs, and hurl
their oppressors from office.”
We ask the press throughout this and the ad
joining Ftates, to insert our Prospectus, and we
especially invoke the friends of the cause to be
vigilant in procuring subscribers and forward their
names by mail as early as possible.
The paper will contain nothing but leading mat
ter, being entirely free from all advertisements,
and is p aced at so low a pi ice as to bring it within
the means of every man.

PEDIGREE.
J. R. H. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama,
certifies as follows : ‘ Tom Tunstall was foaled
mine on the 29th May, 1831. His iam was High
land Mary .and her dam a full-blooded Archie mare;
the sire of Highland Mary was old Paco lei. Tom
Tunstall was sired by old Pacific, and he by old
Sir Archie. This is as far as lam able to go, tho’
I am satisfied Tom Tunstall has descended from as
good a stuck as any horse in the United States. —
He was a racehorse of the first order, but I lear
will never be able to make a first rate race again,
owing to his leg; it was injured when a three year
old, in training, as I believe. By addressing Har
dy Cryek, Gallatin, Tennessee, you can get a full
pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” Thesamc-
Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus : —“ Highland Mary
combined as many or more rich crosses of thorougn
breds than any mare ever raised in Tennessee.—
She was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of
imported Citizen ; her dam Rosey Carey by Sir
Archie; grand-dam Sally Jones by the imported
horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlcmainc,
(son of O’Kelley’s Eclipse, and one of the purest
importations of the last century;) great grand-dam
by the imported horse Wrangler; great-great-grand
dam O’Possum by imported Shark; great-great
great-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar
ter race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-great
g real-great-grand-dam by imported Fearnaught;
great-great-great-great-great-grand -dam by Lee’s
old Mark Anthony out of a mare by imported Mou
key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary
to trace beyond Sir Archie. It is presumed none
will require a purer or better attested pedegree!—

MOFFAT’S VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES.
f IMIESE medicines are indebted for their name
*- to the ir manifest and sensible action in puri
lying the spring and channels ol life, and enduing
them with renewed tone and vigor. In many hun
dred certified cases which has been made public,
and in almost everj species of disease to which
the human frame is liable, the happy effects of
MOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS AND PIiENiX BIT
TERS have been gratefully and publicly ac-
Inowledged by the persons henefmted, and who
were previously unacquainted with the bean'ilully
philosophical principles upon which they are
compounied, and upon which they
act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves
in diseases of every form and description. Their
first operation is to loosen from the coals of the
stomach and bowels, tho various impurities and
crudities con tantly settling around them ; and to
remove the hardened faeces w hich collect in the
convolusions of the smallest intestines. Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to produce habitu
al costiventss w ith all its train ofevils, or in a sud
den diarrhoea, with its eminent dangers. This fact
is well known to ad regular anatomists, who ex
amine the human bowels after death ; and
the prejudice of those well informed men against
quack medicines—or medicines prepared and her
alded to the public bv ignorant jk rsons. 'J he se
cond effect of the Life Medicines is to cleanse ihe
kidneys and the bladder, and by this means, the
liver and ihe lungs, the healthful action of which
entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary
organs, 'i he blood, which lakes its red color from
the agency of Uhe liver and the longs before it
pas>es into the heat, being thus purified by them
and nourished by food coming from a clean stom
ach, courses freely through the veins, renews every
part of the «}stem, and triumphantly mounts the
banner of health in the blooming cheek.
Moffat’s Vegetable Lite Medicines have been
thoroughly attested, and pronounced a sovereign
remedy for Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation of
the Heart, Loss of Appetite, 1 leart-bura and Head
ache, Restlessness, 111-temper, Anxiety, Languor
and Melancholy, Costiveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera,
Fevers of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies
of all kind, Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consump
tion, SScurv), Ulcers, Inveterate Sores, Scorbutic
Eruptions and Bad Complexions, Eruptive coni
plaints, Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable
Complexions, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, Common
Colds and influenza and various other complaints
which afflict the huma- frame. In fever and
ague, particularly, the Life Medicines have been
most eminently successful ; so much so ihat in the
Fever and Ague districts, Physicians almost uni
versally prescribe them.
All that Mr. Moffat requires of his patient is
to be particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly
according lo the directions. It is not hy a news
paper notice, or any thrag that he himself may say
in their favor, that he hopes to gain credit. It is
alone by the result of a fair trial.
