ary Institutions, where this loathsome disease had ap
peared, observes, that Dumfries'’ Itch Ointment extermi

Seminary, and vicinity, as the best remedy known for ike
Itch!

ACADEMY OF RICHMOND COUNTY.
riNHE Trustees of this institution are happy to
j have it in their power to state, t 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. 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, and promising great
usefulness to those who may avail themselves of
Ihe advantages which they otter.

MOFFAT'S VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES
t|'HESE 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 cases which has been made public,
and in almost ever} species of disease to which
the human frame is liable, the happv effects of
MOFFAT'S LIFE PILLS AND I’HENIX BIT
TERS have been gratefully and publicly ac
knowledged by the persons bei efiitted, and who
were previously unacquainted vvnh the beautifully
philosophical principles upon which they are
compounded, ami upon which they ejnsequently
act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves
in diseases of every form and descripiion. Their
first operation is to loosen from the coats of the
stomach and bowels, the various impurities arid
crudities eon tantly settling around them ; and to
remove (he hardened lieces which collect •
convolusions of the smallest intestines. Oiher
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to produce habitu
al cosliveness w ith rII 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 heme
the prejudice of those well informed men against
quack rnedii meg—cr medicines prepared and her
laded to the public hv ignorant persons. '1 he se
cond effect of the Life 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
ihe agency of tire liver and the lungs before h
passes into the heat, being thus purified by them
and nourished by food coming from a clean stom
ach, courses freely thiough 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
remedy for Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation of
the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heart-bura and Head
ache, Restlessness, 111-temper, Anxiety, Languor
and Melancholy, Cosliveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera,
Fevers of all kinds. Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies
of all kind, Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consump
lion, Scurvy, Ulcers, Inveterate Sores, Scorbutic
Eruplions and Bad Complexions, Eruptive com
plaints, Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable
Complexions, Salt Rheum, Erysijelas, 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 he particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly
according to ihe directions. It is not by a news
-1 paper notice, orany thing that he himself may say
in their favor, that he hopes to gain credit. It is
alone hv the result of a fair trial.

Radical Cure of Ilermaor Rupture, by Dr.
Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses.
rfilHE subscriber Itas opened an office, at the Drug
JL store es 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 tlx? use of these Trusses, besides manv
others who arc 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 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 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 city.
“ All must admit of the radical cure of hernia,
and that I Hr. 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 all 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 someresponsi*
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
.or sale. Since this discovery so long and anx
iously looked for, some one in almost the extreme
North 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 all that they
profess to be, and will do for olhcis 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 they then wished for a substitute. It has
long been known that the Tomato contained ca
thartic principles, but not until of late was it
ascertainei that .ney contamca 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 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 all know something aoout inis,

Warranted to cure in Five Days.
i incomparaU'e and invaluable remedy so
f * long known, and used with such unparrallelcd
. success in the Canadas for the last 30 years, 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
i 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
s trying c cumstaftces, namely, “five days,” —the
r same su .-ess which followed it in a Northern lati
tude still obtains in a more Southern. The formula
1 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. —
Wabenosbe prized highly and use it with invariable
‘ success throughout his two tribes. Its known and
1 valued virtues have already enriched to an almost
incredible extentthe children of this warlike prince,
not only by actual sale of the article itself to in
dividuals, hut 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, icligious confidence on its cura
ble powers.
Below is a copy of the translation as near as it can
lie anglisized of the deed given by Wabenosbe, to
M. Cheveret, when lie purchased the original recipe,
ami 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.

by removing the causes cures effectually and perma

sures them that ihey are mistaken, and labourite*
under distress which tnoy might not only alleviate,
but actually eradicated by the use jf Ids remedy.
It is the result of scientific research, and is entirely
of a different cbaiacter from advertised patent medi
cines, and is not unpleasant to the taste.
HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s
remedy for this distressing rompaint 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 but Dr. S.
now assures the public that such a remedy has been
invented as will convince the most credulous. The
principles on which it acts are simple and plain. It is
an a> mined fact that this complaint, whether called
Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim
arily from the stomach—those vv ho think they have
the Nervous Headache may rest assured that this
organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that th a sys
tem has become vitiated or dcbilitaied, th/ough the
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expect s restoration of jhe natural and
healihy functions of the system. This object. Dr.
Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to uitain.
The truth of this position cannot be controverted,
and the sooner sufferers with the headache become
convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering end
in restoration of health. Dr. Spohn pledges his
professional reputation on this fact. Tiie remedy

O. COSBY’S DYSPEPTIC
BITTERS
A Late and Valuable Discovery.
PERHAPS there is nothing no” calculated to
disgust trie public eye than the innumerable
advertisements of nostrums that are constantly ap
pearing in the public prints. All a*e ready to ex
claim, «mr souls are sick, onr cars are pained with
every day’s reports of ills and specifics. This state
of 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 onr fellow men. This latter
consideration has prompted rhe author of these bit
ters to make them known. He knows they are high
ly efficacious, for he himself, Ids wife, and many
friends, have given diem 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. Mrs. Coshy was
troubled for many years, but w as restored to health
by the use of these bitters. This has been the case
with many of Ins friends. Mr. Cosby in sending
forth this advertisement, addresses those who know
him. Ho has been for many years a resident of
Augusta, at which place he can at any time b«
consulted about the hitters. 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, lossot appetite, flatulen
cy, heart burn, giddiness in the head, pain in the
side, shortness of breath, lassitude, general weak
ness, disturbed sleep, &c- The composition is en

many celebrated medicines had failed, in support
of which lie refers them to Freeman W. Lacy, she

rjMHK great celebrity of (his unrivalled Compo- j
|_ sition,especially in the Northern States, leaves
the proprietor but little need to say any thing in its j
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 ihe’speed and certainty of its operations,
have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wounds,
corns, fever sores,chilblains, white swellings, biles,
piles, spider and snake bites, <fcc. <fec., 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 casesol w hite swelling that ran be nna- !
gir ed, have been destroyed by it in less than two j
months. In the bites of poisonous reptiles its effi- '
caey is indy surprising, and if applied in time, its I
powers of attraction are so wonderful that they will I
at once arrest the poison and thus prevent it from j
pervading the system. It is likewise greatly supe- i
rior to any medicine heretofore discovered fur the!
chafed hack and limbs of horses—tor toners, ring !
worms, chapped lips—and in short, for every exter
nal bodily evil that may fall to the lot of man or j
beast.

which were written by respectable members of the

Dear Sir—My daughter,a girl of fourteen, was
sadly afflicted witn thecomp amt that, physicians
termed a scald head ; and 1 feared, independent of
every other evil, that she would be bald in couse- ;
queuco. By the recommendation, however, of the
Reverend Mr. Perrin, 1 applied your ointment to the :
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 rather less than two months;
during whicu time 1 used fiv dollars worth of oint
ment ; I had spent upwards of a hundred dollars
i du’ing 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 cotrrct, and I
can add from experience that “ Harrison’s Specific
Ointment,” is an excellent medicine for external
complaints MATTHEW PERRIN.

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 1 am quite out, and much
in want of it.—You know my estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore 1 shall only add,
mat further experience has increased my enthusi
asm and established me in the opinion, that it is su -
perior to any remedy extant for external diseases.

Sir —The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have ‘
been long known to me,as ! have used none other
in my rather extensive practice forseveral years, and <
if think it would be to your advantage, 1 can
famish you with twenty certificates of important 1
cures w hich u has effected under my own inline- ]
diate inspection; the last being one of a severe <
and apparently perpetual ulcer,in the hack of a i
poor woman, Mary Baxter who resides in 216 Di- j
vision street, which it completely healed in twenty i
onedays. My pr sent chief object in writing to i
you, is to learn who is your authorised agent in this |
city, for,being in want of a supply of your oint
ment, and the person Mr. Boyle,from whom 1 used i
to purchase it, having failed and gone out of busi
ness, lam fearful it Ipurchaseat random, that I
may be imposed on by a counterfeit.

Dr Harrison.
Sir, —1 have no hesitation in staling, m reply to
your note, that your “ Specific Ointment” is truly
equal to the majority of the ends fur which you re
commend it. I qualify my certificate by the word
majority, as it is my maxim to give no opinion in
medical matters w here 1 have had no experience,
in sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions, w bil
lows, piles, &c., it is mv universal recipe- 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 so rapid, that my patient was
as well as ever in a week ; and has remained so to
this day

' | vHESE Pills are no longer among those of donbt
-1 fulutility. 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 effects. The certificates
that have been presented to the propiietor exceed
twenty thousand! upwards of live hundred of
which are from regular practising physicians, who
are the most competent judges of their merits.
Often have the cures performed by this mcdicin
been the subject of editorial comment, in virion
newspapers and journals; and it may with truth be
asserted,that no medicine of the kin 1 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.

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 would
add, that you may make use ol them, in connection
with my name, in any manner you deem proper, I
speak ot their merits from experience, as 1 and my
family have taken upwards of thirty boxes in three
I 3 cais ; and so great ape the benefits we have receiv
ed from them in general, that I would rather pur
chase them alien dollars abox 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. 1 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 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 wore
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" uas
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
! ai i equally desperate nature, in which yourpills
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
you know from the immense quantity you ilDoo'c
I of. I may mention, however, that notwithstanding
| its general use, I never heard an individual complain
j of its effects. My residence is 12 miles from bal
| cigh, on the road to Fayetteville. I am, with sen-
J timents of regard, your ob’t servant.
A. G. BANKS,
j To Dr. Peters, —Sir—For upward* 3 of fifteen
: months, 1 have been cruelly afflicted with Fever
: and Ague; and during the time could find nothing—
though 1 had applied to every tiling that gave me
any thing like permanent relief. At length, how
ever, your pills were recommended to me, by one
of our best j>liy sicians, and 1 am most gra tel'ul and
happy ill being aide to add, that 1 had scarcely used
two boxes when I found that they had restored me
to perfect health. Since then, various members of
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 i am anxious to add :ny public testi
mony to the almost miraculous virtues of your un
rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours,
THEODORE JAMES.

Communication received from the eminent Dr. J.
1L 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 ci.izcn, (Mr. Lee,) where I found
his son laboring under a most alarming attack of
Cynanche Tracnealis (Croup) and apparently be
yond the aid of remedy. By the greatest good for
tune, however, 1 had in my pocket a broken box of
yourpills—four ol 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 C your ser
vice—and 1 have the pleasure to be able to inform
you that your inestimable medicine is in such great
favor with Hie faculty here, that 1 believe there is
not one of them who does not use it in his private
practice. Yours most resp’y.

Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo
gart? of Providence, R. 1., Dec. 17, 1838.—Peters’
pills are an excellent aperient and cathartic medi
cine, those effects being produced by the differences
of the quantity 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 arc a peculiarly mild,'yet

any, griping or nausea. 1 have prescribed them

lions fever.

Burlington, \ t., July 9, 1837. -I cordially recom

treal, U. C., Sept. 27, 1836 —1 neverkuev a single
patent medicine that 1 could put the least confi
dence in but Dr. Peters’ Vegetable Pills, which are
really a valuable discovery. 1 have no hesitation
in having it known that 1 use them extensively in
my 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. 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

sistance in my practice—especially in jaundice and
yellow fever, from the use of Peters’ Pills. 1 pre
sume that, on an average, 1 prescribe 100 boxes in
a month
_ Extract of a letter from Dr. Prichard of Hudson,
N. V., Juae 3, 1836. —1 was aware that Dr. Peters
was one of the best chemists in the United States,
and felt assured that he would some day i v fiom his 5
intimate knowledge of the properties of herbs
and drugs) produce an efficientmedicine, and I must
acknowledge that his Vegetable Pills fully respond
to my expectations. They are indeed a superior
medicine, and reflect credit alike upon the Chemist

celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty « nti
which it restores the virile powers when they hav«

of the numerous causes which terminate m ii, e

In common with the generality of really good
medicines, this t ordial contains nothing r,f a rner

dients which compose it; hut is, at ihe same nine
so simple, yet so i Ificacious, that while it can reno’
vate the prostrated energies of a giant, an mfan
may use it,not only with impunity, but with ad
vantage.
The usages of society are unfortunately such
that, notwithstanding the ben. fits which would he

I arn now on the wrong side of eighty, and yet 1
could be on my honor or oath if necessary, that a
boltleor two of your Cordial of Love has made me
feel as vigorous as a boy of five and twenty. I
: think you have discoveied the “FJiiir of Lile,’
which the alchyniists have been so lung in quest of; 41
and that (pardon my ofliciousncss,; you should have
named it accordingly.
From the eminent Dr. Dcvigney, of Brussels
. October 3, 1837.
To Dr. Magnin: My dear friend —l am mos
gratified at the unprecedented popularity ol your
“Lucira Cordial, and am able to year testimony to
its surprising virtue, i had a patient recently,
1 M , a gentleman ot fortune, who had lor
several years abandoned hiraseii in the vortex oi
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at
length by the utter prostration of ail his virileeaer
gH's. He was,indeed,reduced to the last extremity !
ol debility and t.isteiessness, lor, if an occasional
dash of excitement warmed his system, the reac
tion was almost imnudiate, and the result perfect
prostration. I had applied all the usual nostrums
in such cases ; but, as 1 had anticipated, without
success; and when 1 saw the “ Lucma Cordial” i
advertised, 1 must confess that even the great weight
of your name did nut give me much hope in it, at
least so far as regarded the case in hand. 1 felt
bound to try it, how ever, and was soon satisfied ot
its efficacy; for before a buttle was expended, mV j
patient gave evidence ol the returning elasticity of
las system ; ami he is now, having used four bottles,
as well is ever.
The number of documents, such as ihe above
which have been received by Mr. Magnin, since the
first appearance of “ Lo Cordial do Lucine,” would
fill a volume as largo as the Bible.
