ACADEMY OF RICHMOND COUNTY .
rSUIE Trustees of this institution are happy to
j have it in their power to state, that both the
principal Academy in Augusta, and the branch at
Summerville, have resumed their exercises, under i
the management of Teachers who have the full
confidence of the Trustees, and who, they are sa
tisfied, are fully entitled to that of the public.
Mr. Efnenputsch, the Rector of the Academy,
already favorably known to the community, has
charge of the Classical department and all the
branches of education requisite for admission to
our best Colleges. His attainments as a scholar
and success in imparting useful knowledge, emi
nently qualify him for the discharge of the im
portant duties of his station.
Mr. Ring, the principal English Teacher, re
cently engaged by the Board, comes with the high
est recommendations as to character, talents, lite
rary attainments and skill in teaching, and the
Trustees feel assured that he will sustain the re
putation which led to his selection.
The branch of the Academy at Summerville is
under the immediate management of Mr. Frank
lin George, a gentleman of experience in teach
ing, and highly recommended. The advantage of
the location of this branch of the Academy in one
of the most healthful neighborhoods in the State,
and sufficiently remote from the unfavorable in
fluence of a crowded town, are too well known to
need comment.
On the whole, the Board confidently recommend
to the public the principal Academy and the Branch
at Summerville, as being on a better footing than
they have heretofore been, ard promising great
usefulness to those who may avail themselves of
the advantages which they oiler.

MOFFAT’S VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES
tfMIESE medicines are indebted for their name
1- to iht ir mani'est and sensible action in puri
fying the spring and channels ol life, and enduing
them with renewed tone and vigor. In manv hun
dred certified rases which has been made public,
and in aJrnott ever} species of disease to which
ihe human frame is liable, the happv effects of
MOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS AM) PHEMX BIT
TERS have been gratefully and publicly ac
l nowlcdged by the persons benefiiued, and who
were previously unacquainted wiih the benu’iliilly
philosophical principles upon which they are
compoun Jed, and upon which they consequently
act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves
in diseases ul every form and descripiion. Their
first operation is to loosen from the coats of the
stomach and bowels, the various impurities and
crudities coretantiy settling around them ; ana to
remove the hardened faeces which collect
convolusions of the smallest intestines. Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to produce habitu
al costtveness with ell its train ofevils. or in a sud
den d.arrbcßa, with its eminent dangers. This fact
is well known to all regular anatomists, who ex
amine the human bowels after death ; and hence
the prejudice of those well informed men against,
quack medicines —or medicines prepared and her
laded to the public bv ignorant p< rsons. 'I lie se
cond effect of the Life Medicines is to cleanse the
kidneys and tlie bladder, and by this means, the
liver and the lungs, the healthful action of which
entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary
organs. The blocd, which lakes its red color from
the agency of the liver and the lungs before it
passes intoilte heat, being thus purified by them
and nourished by food coming from a clean stom
ach, courses freely th-.ough the veins, renews every
part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the
banner of healih in ihe blooming cheek.
Moffat’s Vegetable Life Medicines have been
thoroughly attested, and pronounced a sovereign
remedy for Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation of
the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heart-burn and Head
ache, Restlessness, 111-temper, Anxiety, Languor
and Melancholy, Cosliveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera,
Fevers of ail kinds, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies
of all kind, Gravel, Worms, Asihma and Consurap
tion. Scurvy, Ulcers, Inveterate Hores, Scorbutic
Eruptions and Had Complexions, Eruptive com
plaints, Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable !
Complexions, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, Common
Colds and influenza and various other complaints
which afflict the human frame, in fever and
ague, particularly, the Life Medicines have been
most eminently successful; so much so that in the
Fever and Ague districts, Physicians almost uni
versally prescribe them.
All that Mr. Moffat requires of his patient is
to be particularin taking the Life Medicines strictly
according to the directions. It is not by a news
paper notice, or any thirg that lie himself may say
in their favor, that lie hopes to gain credit. It is
alone by the result of a fair Trial.

RadicalCnre ol Hernia or Rupture, by Dr.
Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses.
r|NHE subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug
Jk store of Messrs. J. J. Robertson &Co., for the
treatment of Hernia or Rupture, by means of these
; ustly celebrated instruments. He has now used
them for nearly a year, and, did not delicacy'forbid,
he could name several persons who have been radi
cally cured , of this truly' distressing and dangerous
affection, by the use of these Trusses, besides many
others who are in a fairway of being entirely re
lieved. The following is the language of the com
mittee ot the Philadelphia Medical Society on the
Radical Cure of Hernia.
“ The instruments of Dr. Chase have effected
'■ the permanent and accurate retention of the in
| testines in every case of Hernia observed by the
committee, without material inconvenience to the
patient, and often under trials more severe than
are usually ventured upon by' those who wear other
trusses; trials that would be imprudent with any
other apparatus known to the committee.”
“ The committee are induced by' the foregoing
conclusions to recommend, in strong terras, the in
j struments of Dr. Chase to the confidence of
! the profession, as the best known means of me
chanical retention in hernia, and as furnishing the
; highest chances of radical cut e.”
The following is from the Southern Medical and
i Southern Journal, published in our own city.
“ All must admit of the radical cure of hernia,
and that Dr, Chase’s Trusses are decidedly the best
, yet invented to effect the object.”
j Persons from a distance can have the instruments
applied, upon application at the office, and all ne
i cessary information given to enable them to adjus
it themselves. The poor, who are laboring under
this afflicting complaint, will be treated gratuitous
ly upon presenting a certificate,from
blc person, of their pecuniary disability.
The instruments are of all Sizes, and applicable
to every variety of reducible rupture.

TO THE FACULTY AND HEADS OF
FAMILIES.
DR. MILES’ COMPOUND EXTRACT OF
TOMATO —a substitute for Calomel, and
docs not belong to the family of quack medicines;
for the reason that the component parts are made
known to the faculty, or any one else that may
wish to know, by any of the agents keeping them
for sale. Since this discovery so long and anx
iously looked for, some one in almost the extreme
Noith has advertised a Tomato Pill, purporting tc
be made from the stalk, a thing not more aosuiu
than for one to offer meal from the com stalk, to
say nothing of the difficulty of raising the Tomato
so far North.
Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the proprietor of the
Tomato Pills (proper) for the great benefits of
which, he holds himself bound, and in honor pledg
ed to prove by their use, that they are all that they
profess to be, and will do for otheis what they
have done for such as mav have used them ; as
.his is a vegetable of great use, and value, it will
doubtless be valuable information to families to
know that the Yellow are just doubly as valuable
as the Red Tomato, and produces twice as much
of the hapatine, or active principle, and when used
as a daily vegetable will be found to keep the
system in much better condition than the other
kind ; many will recollect with what trembling
anxiety calomel has been given to children, and
how the}* then wished for a substitute. It has
long been known that the Tomato contained ca
thartic principles, but not until of late was it
ascertained that -itey contained alterative and diu
retic properties. The Faculty embrace and use
the preparation most cheerfully, for tiie reason that
they know what it is .Were it a patent mystery,
they would be bound to reject the medicine, as they
justly do the one thousand and one cu r e-alls of the
day. If you wish to cleanse the system with a
mild, sa.e anti-bilious medicine, use the Tomato
Pill, of which a supply, we learn, will soon be in
his city. We ali know something aoout tnis.

ANTI-BALSAMJC GONORRHOEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
TBIHIS incomparalde and invaluable remedy so
A long known, and used with such unparralleled
success in the Canadas for the last 30 yeais, ap
pears to need no panegyric. Its operation upon the
human system is such that it invariably acts like
a charm, for the relief and radical cure of a certain
common and disagreeable “ills the flesh is heir to.”
This prize obtains its own name from the certain
success hich has attended it through all of its
trying c cumstances, namely, “five days,” —the
same su jess which followed it in a Northern lati
tude still obtains in a more Southern. The formula
or recipe was obtained at great expense, intrigue
and hazard by 31. Cheveres, from the celebrated
Indian Chief Wabenothe, or Great .Moon, whilst
he, with others was pursumgthe lucrative Fur bu
siness in the North-west with the Indians. —
Wabenoshe prized highly and use it with invariable
success throughout his two tribes. Its known and
valued virtues have already enriched to an a'most
incredible extentthe children of this warlike prince,
not only by actual sale of the article itself to in
dividuals, but by parting with copies of his receipt
at enormous prices to the Chief of every tribe of
Indians in America, with a solemn promise to the
Great Spirit, never to divulge the “art of its com
position until he sleeps with his fathers,” although
free to use it in their respective tribes, which
places it in the hands of every Indian who rely
with, I may say, religious confidence on its cura
ble powers.
Below is a copy of the translation as near as it can
be anglisized of the deed given by Wabenoshe, to
31. Cheveret, when he purchased the original recipe,
and had twice assisted the Chief himself through
the tedious manipulatory process of manufacture.
Few white men would credit the length of time
which is consumed in preparing the article for im
mediate use.
TRANSLATION.
“I, Wabenoshe, Chief of the nations Ottowaand
Chippewa, for the love and good feeling which I
have for my white friend M. Cheveret, (for he has
done many good things for me and my people,) I
give to him my greatest cure for the bad sickness
which m3' children have had sent among them as
a punishment by' the Great Spirit, and hope that in
his hands it may do much good, and make him very
rich.”

The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s

That so ra ich suffering should have existed for ages
without anv discovery ot an effectual preventive, or
cure, is truly a subject of much regret but Dr. S.
now assures the public that such a remedy has been
invented as will convince the most credulous. The
principles on w hich it acts are simple and plain. It is
an a. milted fact that this complaint, whether called

o. COSIiVS DYSPEPTIC HITTERS
PERU AUS mere is nothing mov catenated to
disgust me public eye than the innumerable
advertisements ot nostrums that are constantly ap
pearing in the public prints. All are ready io ex
claim, our souls are sick, our ears are pained with
every day’s reports of ills and specifics- This state
ot the public mind would seem to forbid any person
of delicate mind from sending forth any new- dis
coveries in medicine, to the trial of th? public.—
Still, motives of delicacy should not prevent us from
making known real discoveries, which we are con
fident will benefit our fellow men. This latter
consideration has prompted the author of these bit
ters to make them known. He knows they are high
ly efficacious, for he himseif, his wife, and many
friends, have given them a thorough trial. He was
himself a confirmed dyspeptic,so much, that even
his recollection was gone. By using these bitters
he has been restored to health. 31re. Cosby was
troubled for many years,but was restored to health
by the use of these bitters. This has been the case
with many of his frit nds. 31 r. Cosby in sending
forth this advertisement, addressesthose who know
him. Ho has been for many years a resident ot
Augusta, at which place he can at any time be
consulted about ihe bitters. They are good in all
cases of diseases of the digestive organs, the symp
toms of which are indigestion, pain or oppression
in the stomach from food, lossol appetite, tlatulen- I
cy, heart burn, giddiness in the head, pain in the
1 sidti, shortness of breath, lassitude, general weak
ness, disturbed sleep, &c The composition is en
tirely Botanical, and has proved efficacious w hen
many celebraied medicines had failed. In support
of which he refers them to Freeman VV. Lacy, she
riff of Richmond countv, and William T. Thomp
son, editor of the Augusta 31irror, and he might re
fer you to many others, but deems it unnecessary,

rgNHE great celebriiyof this unrivalled Compo

it is beyond all comparison the best remedy' for ex

Indeed I he’s peed and certainly of its operations,
have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wounds,
corns, fever sores,chilblains, white swellings, biles,
piles, spider and snake bites, &.c. &c., immediately
yield to it.s superhuman influence. Thus, it prop
erly applied it will remove an inveterate corn or
break and heal a bile in five days, will allay and
perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the most
desperate cases ot white swelling that can be ima
gined, have been destroyed by it in Jess than two
months. In ihe bites of poisonous reptiles its effi
cacy is truly surprising, and if applied in time, its
powers of attraction are so wonderful that they will

J perva ling the system. It is likewise greatly mipe

Dear Sir—3ly daughter, a girl of fourteen, was !
sadly afflicted witn tliecornp aim that physicians i
termed a scald head ; and 1 feared, indepe .dent of
every other evil, that she. would be bald in conse- I
quence. By the recommendation, however, of the j
Reverend 31r. Perrin, I applied your ointment lothe
afflicted part; and 1 thank God that my child is"
now entirely recovered from the disease, and is
getting her hair as fast as can be expected. The
cure was effected in lather less than two months;
during whicu nmc 1 used fiv dollars worth of oint
ment; I had spent upwards of a hundred dollars
during the previous three years, without any benefit
whatever. 31 ARY HOWARD,
j I hereby substantiate the truth ol the above
statement CHRISTOPHER HOWARD.
1 know the above statement to be comet, and I
can add from experience that “ Harrison’s Specific
Ointment,” is an excellent medicine for external

Dear Sir—l have to request of you to forward
me, two hundred boxes of Ointment, by the most
immediate conveyance, and without regard to the
expense of carriage, as I am quite out, and much
in want of it.—You know 7 my estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore I shall only add,
mat further « xpenence has increased my enthusi
asm and established me in the opinion, that it is su -
perior to any remedy extant for external diseases. 1

I Dr. Harrison.
Sir—The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have
been long known to me,as 1 have used none other I
in my rather extensive practice lorseveral years, and
if think it would be lo your advantage, I can
furnish you with twenty certificates of important
cures w hich it lias effected under my ow n imme
diate inspection ; the last being one of a severe
and apparently p-rpetual ulcer,in the back of a
poor woman, 31ary Baxter who resides in 216 Di
\ vision street, which it completely healed in iwenty
one days. My present chief object in writing to
you, is to learn who is your authorised agent in this
; city, for,being in want of a supply of your oint
f merit, and the person 31 r. Boyle, from whom I used
| to purchase it, having failed and gone out of busi
j ness, I am fearful if Ipurchaseat random, that J
( may be imposed on bv a counterfeit.

Sir, —1 have no hesitation in stating, in reply to
your note, that your “ Specific Ointment” is truly
equal to the majority oi the ends for which you re
!' commend it. 1 qualify my certificate by the word
j majority, as it is my maxim to give no opinion in
I medical matters where 1 have had no experience.
1 in sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions, whit
: lows, piles, Ac., it is nw universal recipe. I have
i also used it on ihe leg of a boy-which had been
; bmen by an adder, and the extraction of the poison,
i and ultimate cure was so rapid, that my patient was
as well as ever in a w eek ; and has remained so to
this day

r | iHESE Pills are no longer among those of doubt-
I. ful utility. They have passed away from the
hundreds that are daily launched upon the tide of
experiment, and now stand before the public as
high in reputation, and as extensively employed in
all parts of the United States, the Canadas, Texas
Mexico, and the West Indies, as any medicine that
has ever been prepared for the relief of suffering
man. They have been introduced wherever it was
found possible to carry them ; and there are but
few towns that do not contain some remarkable
evidences of their good etfects. The certificates
that have been presented to the propiietor exceed
twenty thousand! upwards of live hundred of
which are from regular practising physicians, wiw
arc the most competent judges of their merits.
Often have the cures performed by this medicin
been the subject of editorial comment, in Virion
newspapers and journals ; and it may with truth he
asserted,that no medicine of the kinl has ever re
ceived testimonials of greater value thin are at
tached to this.
They are in general use as a family medicine
and there are,thousands of families who declare they
re never satisfied until they have a supply always
on hand.
They have no rival in curing and preventing
BiliiousJfevers, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver
Complaints, Sick Headache, Jaundice, Asthma,
Dropsj r , Rheumatism, Enlargement of the Spleen,
Piles, Cholic, Female Obstructions, Heartburn,
Furred Tongue, Nausea, Distension of the Stomach
and Bowels, Incipient Diarrhoea,Flatulence,Habitu
al Costiveness, Loss of Appetite, Blotched or Sallow
Complexion, and in cases of torpor of the bowels,
where a cathartic or aperient is needed They are
exceedingly mild In their operation, producing
neither nausea, griping nor debilitv.
The following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, by a
highly respectable Planter of Wake County, No
Ca.,March 3d, 1838:
Dr. Peters —Dear Sir, By request of your agent,
Mr. Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting the
almost miraculous effects of your piPs ; and I w r ould
add, that you may make use ol them, in connection
with my name, in any manner you deem proper, I
speak of their merits from experience,as I and my
family have taken upwards of thirty boxes in three
years ; and so great aj*e the benefits we have receiv
ed from them in general, that I would rather pur
chase them at ten dollars a box than have my house
without them. I will not enumerate the afflictions
the}' have relieved us of; but I can assure you they
were many, and of very opposite natures, which
has fully proved to me that your medicine is a sim
ple purifier of the system, and therefore equally
the enemy of every disease. I will mention one
case. I have a sister who had been for a long pe
riod severely afflicted with dropsy in the chest and
was brought by it to the very verge of the grate.
She was attended by the most eminent physicians
that money could procure; but all their efforts to
restore her to health, or even to mitigate her suffer
ings were fruitless ; and accordingly,we all consid
ered her immediate death as inevitable. By good
fortune, however, as she was in this situation, ex
pecting every day to be her last, your pills were
introduced into my family, and so speedy and pal
pable wore their effects that three doses visibly re
lieved her, and in less than three months she was
perfectly restored to health. This case, I and all
who were witness of it, (but more especially the
suffering party,) considered to be the next thing to
miraculous; and yet I could mention many more
of an equally desperate nature, in which your pills
were equally successful in rescuing the patients
from the jaws of death. Need 1 add that the popu
larity of your medicine amounts to enthusiasm in
this section of the country ? But this I presume
3'ou know from the immense quantity you dispose
of. I may mention, however,thatnotwithstanding
its general use, 1 never heard an individual complain
of its elfecls. My residence is 12 miles from Ral
eigh, on the road to Fayetteville. I am, with sen
timents of regard, your ob’t servant.
A. G. BANKS.
To Ur. Peters, —Sir—For upward s of fifteen
months, I have been cruelly afflicted with Fever
j and Ague: and during the time could find nothing—
j though 1 had applied to every thing that gave me
| any thing like permanent relief. At length, how
; ever, your pills were recommended to me, by one
of our best physicians, and 1 am most grateful and
j happy in being able to add, that 1 had scarcely used
i two boxes when 1 found that they had restored me
| to perfect health. Since then, various members of
i my family have used them with equal success—
and consequently 1 feel it my duty to apprise you
of the fact, and to request of you to publish this
! certificate, as lam anxious to add my public testi
i mony to the almost miraculous virtues of j our un
rivalled medicine, llespectfully j ours,
THEODORE JAMES.
Augusta, Ga., Feb 10, 1839.
Communication received from the eminent Dr. J.
H. Irwin of Florence, Georgia:
Dr. J. P. Peters —My Dear Sir—On the night of
the 11th last., I was called in great haste to the
I house of a fellow ci.izen, (Mr. Lee,) where I found
| his son laboring under a most alarming attack of
j Cynanche Tracncalis (Cronp) and apparently be-
I yond the aid of remedy. By the greatest good for
tune, however, I had in my pocket a broken box of
your pills —four of which I administered, with
such immediate happy eflect that in a few minutes
rny patient was at ease, and out of danger. This
case, in connection with my name is at j our ser
vice—and I have the pleasure to be able to inform
you that your inestimable medicine is in,such great
favor with the faculty here, that 1 believe there is
not one of them who does not use it in his private
practice. Yours most resp’j r ,
March 13, 1839. J. 11. IRWIN, M. D.
Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo
gait, of Providence, R. 1., Dec. 17, 1838.—Peters’
! pills are an excellent aperient and cathartic medi
[ cine, those effects being produced by- the ditferences
[ of the quantity taken, and are decidedly superior
1 to Lee’s, Brandreth’s or Morrison’s Pills.
Extract from a letter by r Dr. Hopson of Bangor,
Me , Jan. 9, 1839. They are a peculiarly mild, yet
efficient purgative medicine, and produce iittle, ii
any, griping or nausea. 1 have prescribed them
with much success in sick headache and slight bil
lious fever.
Extract of a letter by Dr. Joseph Williams of
Burlington, Vt., July 9, 1537.—1 cordially recom
mend Peters’ Pills as a mildly effective, and in no
case dangerous, family medicine. They are pecu
liarly influential in costiveness and all the usual
diseases of the digestive organs.
Extract of a letter from fir. Edw. Smith of Mon
treal, U. C., Sept, 27, 1b36. —1 neverknev a single
patent medicine that 1 could put the least conli
dence in but Dr. Peters’ Vegetable Pills, which are
a valuable discovery. 1 have no hesitation
in having it known thatl use them extensively in
my practice,for all complaints, (and they are not a
few) which have their source in the in purity of the
blood
Extract of a letter from Dr. Dye of Quebec, L.
C., March 6, 1837. —For bilious fevers, sick head
ache, torpidity of the bowels, and enlargement of
the spleen, Peter’s Pills are an excellent medicine.
Extract of a letter from Dr Gurney of New Or
leans, La,, Oct. 9, 1837. —1 have received much as
sistance in ray practice —especially in jaundice and
yellow fever, from the use of Peters’ Pills. I pre
sume that, on an average, 1 prescribe 100 boxes in
a month
Extract of a letter from Dr. Prichard of Hudson,
N. V., June 3, 183,6. —1 was aware that Dr. Peters
was one of the best chemists in the United Btales
and felt assured that he would some day (from his
intimate knowledge of the properties of herbs
and drugs) produce an efficient medicine, and 1 must
acknowledge that his Vegetable Pills fully respond
to my expectations. They are indeed a" superior
medicine, and reflect credit alike upon the Chemist
the Physician, and the Philosopher.

rnj" testimony ot their good ellects in oases of dj rs

Extract of a letter from Dr. Scott of Baltimore,
Dec. 17,1836. —1 am in the daily habit of prescri

favor.
