ACADEMY OF RICHMOND COUNTY.
fJVUE Trustees of this institution arc happy to
J have it in their power to state, (hat both the
principal Academy iu Augusta, and the branch at
Summerville, have resumed their exercises, under
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. Ernenputsch, 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. Fuank
i.in 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
due nee of a crowded town, ace 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, and promising great
usefulness to those who may avail theriiselves of
ihe advantages which they otter.

MOFFAT S VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES
WIESE medicines are indebted for their name
I to th« ir manifest and sensible action in puri
fying the spring and channels of life, and enduing
them with renewed tone and vigor. In manv hun
dred certified coses which has been made public,

TERS have been grateful'y and jmhlkly ac
knowledged by the persons hoi efiitled, and who
were previously unacquainted wiih th** beau'ilully
philosophical principles upon which they are
compoun Jed, and upon which they consequently
act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves
in diseases ol every form and description. Their
first operation is to loosen from the coats oi the
stomach and bowels, the various impurities and
crudities eon tantly settling around them ; and to
remove the hardened faeces which collect »
convolusions of Hie smallest infesiines. Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to produce habitu
al coslivent ss w ith r H its train ofevils.or in a sud
den diarrhoea, with its eminent dangers. This fact
is well known to ail regular anatomists, who ex
amine ihe human bowels abler death ; and hente
the prejudice of those well informed men against
quack medii mes—or medicines prepared and her
laded to the public bv ignorant persons. 4he se
cond effect of the Lite Medicines is to cleanse the
kidneys and the bladder, and by this means, the
liver and the lungs, the healthful action of which
entirely depends upon the regularity of ihe urinary
organs. The blood, which takes its red color from
the agency of the liver and the lungs before it
passes into the heat, being thus purified by them
ami nourished by food coming from a clean stom
ach, courses freely Hnougb the veins, renews every
part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the
banner of health in the blooming cheek.
Moffat’s Vegetable Life Medicine? have been
thoroughly attested, and pronounced a sovereign
rentedv for Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation oi
the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heart-burn and Head- i
ache, Restlessness, 111-letnper, Anxiety, Languor
and Melancholy, Cosliveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera,

Colds and influenza and various other complaints ]
which afflict the human frame, in fever and j
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.
-A 11 that Mr. Moffat requires of his patient is
to be particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly
according to ihe directions. It is not by a new s
paper nonce, or any thing that he himself may say
in their favor, that he hopes to gain credit. It is (
alone by ihe result of a fair trial.

Radical Cure of Hernia or Rupture, by Dr.
Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses.
rSIHE subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug
I store of Messrs. J. J. Robertson Co., forthe
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 tire 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 ol 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 observe*! by Hie
committee, without material inconvenience to the
patient, and often under trials more severe than
are usually ventured upon by those who wear■ether
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 terms, the in
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 cure.”
The following is from the Southern Medical and
Southern Journal, published in our own irity.
“ All must admit of the radical cure of hernia,
and that I*. Chase’s Trusses are decidedly the best
yet invented to effect the object.”
Persons from a distance can have the instruments
applied, upon application at the office, and ail ne
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 some responsi*
ble 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
does 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 to
be made from the stalk, a thing not more aosutu
than for one to offer meal from the corn 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 allthat they
profess to be, and will do fur othcis 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 lhal the Yellow are just doubly as valuable
as the Red Tomato, and produces twice as much
of Hie 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 they then wished for a substitute. It has
iong been known that the Tomato contained ca
thartic principles, but not until of late was it
s icertaine j that .aey contained alterative and diu
retic properties. The Faculty embrace and use
the preparation most cheerfully, for the 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 cure-alls of Hie
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

ANTi-BALSAMIC GONORRHtEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
ri'UIIS incomparaU'c and invaluable remedy so
JL long known, and used with such unparrallclod
success in the Canadas for the last 30 ycais, ap
pears to need no panegyric. Its operation upon the
human system is such that it in variably acts like
a charm, for the relief and radical cure of a certain
common and disagreeable “ills the flesh is heir to.” j
This prize obtains its own name from the certain
success hich has attended it through all of its
trying c cumstaftces, 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 M. Chevcres, from the celebrated
Indian Chief Wabenotiie, or Great Moon, whilst
he, with others was pursuing the 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 almost
incredible extent the 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, 1 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
M. Che veret, 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.

have for rny white friend M. Cheveret, (for he has
done many' good things for me and my people,) I

which my children have had sent among them as

faction to make known, that he has a remedy which
by removing the causes cures effectually and perma

families who have considered Sick Headache a con
stitutional incurable family complaint- Dr. S. as
sures them that they are mistaken, and labouring

It is the result of scientific research, and is entirely
of a different character from advertised patent medi

HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s
remedy for this distressing compaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment,
That so much suffering should have existed forages
without any discovery of an effectual preventive, or
cure,is truly a subject of much regret hut Dr. S.
now assures the public that such a remedy has been
invented as will convince the must, credo lons. The
,-rinciples on w hich it acts are simple and plain. It is
an ar milled fact that this complaint, whether called
Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim
arily from the stomach —those who think they have
the Nervous Headache may rest assured that this
organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that th“ sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, through ihe
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expect s restoration of the natural and
healthy functions ot the system. This object. Dr.
Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to attain.
The truth of this position cannot he controverted,
and the sooner sufferers wish the headache become
convinced of it, the sooner w ill t heir suffering end
in restoration of health. Dr. Spohn pledges his
professional reputation on this fact. Tue remedy

A Late and Valuable Discovery.
PERHAPS there is nothing - mo""* calcfflated to
disgust the public eye than the innumerable
advertisements ot nostrums that are constantly ap
pearing in the public prints. Allan? ready to ex
claim, our souls are sick, our cars are pained with
J every day’s reports of ills and specifics. This state
I of the public mind would seem to forbid any person
[ of delicate mind from sending forth any new dis-.
covcries 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. Tins latter
consideration has prompted the author of these bit
ters to make them known. He know si hey are high
ly efficacious, for he himself, his w ife, and many
friends, have given them a thorough trial. He was
himself a confirmed dyspeptic,bo much, that even
his recollection was gone. By using these bitters
he has been restored to health. Mrs. Cosby was
troubled for many years,but was restored to health
by the use of these bitters. This has been the ease
with many of Ins friends. Mr. Cosby in sending
forth this advert isement, addresses those who know
him. Ho has been for many years a resident ot
Augusta, at which place he can at any time b»
consulted about the bitters. They are good in all
cases of diseases of the digestive organs, the symp
toras of which are indigestion, pain or oppression
in the stomach from food, lossot appetite, flatulen
cy, heart burn, giddiness in lHe head, pain in the
side, shortness of breath, lassitude, general weak
ness, disturbed sleep, <fec- The composition is en
tirely Botanical, an I lias proved efficacious when
many celebrated medicines had failed. Jn support
of which he refers them to Freeman VV. I.acy, she

riIHE great'celebrity of this unrivalled Compo
-1 sition,especially in the Northern States, leaves
the proprietor but little need to say any thing in its
favor: for it has been generally conceded to it,that
it is beyond all comparison the best remedy for ex
ternal complaints that has ever been discovered.
Indeed ihejspeed 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 its superhuman influence. Thus, if 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 of white swelling that can be ima
gined, have been destroyed by if m less than two
months. In the 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
at once arrest the poison and thus prevent it from
pervading the system. It is likewise greatly supe
rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the

To Dr. Harrison.
Sir —I use your Specific Ointment in my practice,
and cordially recommend it as a most efficient reme
dy for Tumors, Ulcers, White Swellings, Scrofula,
Rheumatic Bains, Chapped Face, Lips and Hands:
and for general external complaints. 1 write this
nt the request of your agent here, w ho furnishes me
w ith the article, and an pleased to have it iu my
power to award honor to merit.

Brooklyn, N. Y., Oct. 29, 1838.
Dear Sir—My daughter,a girl of fourteen, was
sadly afflicted wirn thecomp aim that physicians
termed a scald head ; and I feared, independent of
every other evil, that she would be bald in conse
quence. By the recommendation, however, of the
Reverend Mr. Perrin, 1 applied your ointment to the
afflicted part ; and I 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 rather less than two months;
during whicu time I used fiv dollars worth of oint
ment ; I had spent upwards of a hundred dollars
duung the previous three years, without any benefit
whatever. MARY HOWARD.
I hereby substantiate the truth ot the above
statement CHRISTOPHER HOWARD.
1 know the above statement to bo correct, and I
can add from experience that “ Harrison’s Specific
Ointment,” is an excellent medicine fur external
complaints MATTHEW PERRIN.
Boston, Jan. 7, 1837. !
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 t lie S
expense of carriage, as I am quite out, and much
in want of it.—You know my estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore J shall only add,
that further «xperience has increased my enthusi
asm and established me in the opinion, that it is su
perior to any remedy extant for external diseases.
Respectfully yours,

Dr. Harrison.
Sir —The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have
been long known to me,as 1 have used none other
in my rather extensive practice for several years, and
if llunk it would be to your advantage, 1 can
furnish you with twenty certificates of important
cures which it has eflfccted under my own imme
diate inspection ; the last being one of a severe
and apparently perpetual nicer, in the back of a
poor woman, Mary Baxter who resides in 216 Di
vision street, which it completely healed in twenty
onedays. My present chief object in writing to
you, is to learn w ho is your authorised agent in this
city, for,being in want of a supply of your oint
ment, and the person Mr. Bo.yle, irom whom 1 used
to purchase it, having failed and gone out of busi
ness, lam fearful if 1 purchase at random, that J
may be imposed on by a counterfeit.
Your obedient servant,
EDWARD RAMSEY, M. D.
Cincinnati, August 9,1837.
Dr Harrison.
Sir, —1 have no hesitation in slating, m reply to
your note, that your “ Specific Ointment” is truly
equal to the majority of she ends fur which you re
commend it. 1 qualify my certificate by the word
majority, as it is my maxim to give no opinion in
medical matters where 1 have had no experience.
In sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions, whit
low s, piles, &c., it is my universal recij)©. I have
also used it on the leg of a boy which had been
bitten by an adder, and the extraction of the poison,
and ultimate cure was su rapid, that my patient was
as well as ever in a week ; and has remained so to
this day
Yours respect fully,

The following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, bv a
highly respectable Planter of Wake County, No
Ca., March 3d, 1838:
Dr. Peters —Dear Sir, By requestor youragent,
Mr. Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting the
almost miraculous effects of your pißs ; and I would
add, that yon may make use ol them, in connection
with my name, in any manner you deem proper, I
speak of their merits from experience, as 1 and my
family have taken upwards of thirty boxes in three
years ; and so great aee 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
they 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, 1 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 wrought by it to the very verge of the grave.
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 were their effects that three doses visibly re
lieved her, and in less than three months she *w as
perfectly restored to health. This case, 1 and all
who were witness of it, (but more especially the
suffering party,) considered to be the next thing to
miraculous; and yet 1 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 I add that the popu
larity of your jnedicinc amounts to enthusiasm in
this section of the country ? But this 1 presume
you know from the immense quantity 3-011 dispose
of. I may mention, however, that notwithstanding
its general use, I never heard an individual complain
ot its effects. My residence is 12 miles from Bal
cigh, on the road to Fayetteville. I am, with sen
timents of regard, your ob’t servant.
A. G. BANKS.
To Dr. Peters, —Sir—For upward* s of fifteen
months, 1 have been cruelly afflicted with Fever
and Ague; and during the time could find nothing—
though I 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
happy in being able to add, that 1 had scarcely used
two boxes when I lound that tlioy had restored me
to perfect health. Since then, various members of
my family have used them with equal success—
and consequently I feel it my duty to apprise you
of the fact, and to request of 3-011 to publish this
certificate, as i am anxious to add :ny public testi
mon3'to the almost miraculous virtues of your un
rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours,
THEODORE JAMES.

Communication received from the eminent Dr. J.
11. Irwin of Florence, Georgia :
Dr. J. P, Peters—My Dear Sir—On the night of
the 11th inst., I was called in great haste to the
house of a fellow ei.izen, (Mr. Lee,) where 1 found
his son laboring under a most alarming attack of
Cynanche Tracnealis (Cronp) and apparently be
yond the aid of remedy. By the greatest goJd for
tune, however, 1 had in my pocket a broken box of
your pills—four of which I administered, with
such immediate happy effect that in a few minutes
my patient was at ease, and out of danger. This
case, in connection with my name is at your ser
vice—and I have the pleasure to be able to inform
3'ou 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’3'.

Extract from a letter written b3' Dr. Francis Bo
gart, of Providence, R, 1., Dec. 17, 1838.— Peters’
j pills are an excellent aperient and cathartic medi

1 of the quantilv'taken, and are decidedly superior
to Lee’s, Brandreth’s or Morrison’s Pills.
Extract from a letter by Dr. Hopson of Bangor,
Me , Jan. 9, 1839. They are a peculiarly mild,yet
efficient purgative medicine, and produce little, if
any, griping or nausea. 1 have prescribed them
with much success in sick headache and slight fii
lious fever.
Extract of a letter by Dr. Joseph Williams of
Burlington, Vt., July 9, 1837.—1 cordially recom
mend Peters’ Pills as a mildly effective, and in no
case dangerous, family medicine. They are pecu

diseases of the digestive organs.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Edw. Smith of Mon
treal, U. (J., Sept. 27, 1838 —1 neverknev a single
patent medicine that 1 could put the least comi
dcnce in but Dr. Peters’ Vegetable Pills, which are
really a valuable discovery. I have no hesitation
in having it known that 1 use them extensively in
m - practice,for all complaints, (and they are not a
few) which have their source in the impurity of the
blood
Extract of a letter from Dr. D 3 C of Quebec, L.
C., March 6, 1837.—F0r bilious fevers, sick be’ad
ache,torpidity of the bowels, and enlargement of

Extract of a letter from Dr Gurney of New Or
leans, La,, Oct. 9, 1837. —I have received much as
sistance in my practice—especially in jaundice and
yellow fever, from tiie use of Peters’ Pills. I pre
sume that, on an average. I prescribe 100 boxes in
a month.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Prichard of Hudson,
N. V., June 3, 1836‘. —1 was aware that Dr. Peters
was one of the best chemists in the United Stales,
and felt assured that he would some day (from his
intimate knowledge of the properties of herbs
and drugs) produce an efficientmedicine,and I must
acknowledge that lus 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.
Mecklejubumu co, va. Feb. 7, 1357.
Having used Dr. Peters’ Pills in my practice for
he last twcive months, I take pleasure in giving
my testimony of their good effects in oases of dys
pepsia, sick head-ache, bilious fevers, and other
diseases, produced by- inactivity- of the liver. They
are a safe and mild aperient, being the best article
of the kind 1 ever used.

The usages of society are unfortunately such

forbear remarking—that it has been demonstrated
that there is scarcely ever, it any such thing at all,
as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility ol

that these evils arc the effects of artificial causes
and may be speedily subdued orui removed by the

to Dr. Magnin.
I am now on the wrong side of eighty, and yet I
could be on my honor or oath if necessary, that a
bottle or two of your Cordial of Love has made me
i tee las vigorous as a boy of five and twenty. 1
! think you have discoveied the “Elixir of Bile,’
which the alchymists have been so long in quest ol i

named it accordingly.
From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels
October 3, 1837,
To Dr. Magnin:—My dear friend—l am rnos
gratified al the unprecedented popularity ot your
“Luc’na Cordial,” and am able to near testimony w
its surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recently.
1 M , a gentleman ot fortune, who had lot
several years abandoned hmiself in the vortex 01
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at
length by the ultc-r prostration of all his vinleeaer
gics. He was,indeed,reduced to the last extremity
of debility and tasteiessness, for, if an occasional
flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac
tion was almost inmudiate, and the result perfect
prostration. 1 had applied ail the usual nostrums
in such cases; but, as 1 had anticipated, without
success; and when 1 saw the “ Lucuia Cordial"
advertised, 1 must confess that even the great weight
of your name did not give me much hope m it, at
least so far as regarded the case in hand, i kU
bound to try it.hovvev-.r, and was soon satisfied oi
its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, mV
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity ot
tiis system ; ami he is now, having used ibtir bolder
as well is ever.
The number of documents, such as the above
which have been received by Mr. Magnin, sinceth o
first appearance ol “ Lc Cordial de Lucine,” would
