SANDS'S~
SARSAPARILLA
For the removal and permanent cure of all
Diseases arising from an impure state of
the Blood, or habit of the system.
r searching influence of this pre-
X. paration reaches the blood, and its antisep
tic properties either discharge or render harmless
the virus ol disease in that fluid, while its tonic
qualities strengthen the stomach, and the slight
laxative power with which (however strange the
combination may seera)it is imbued, acts gently
upon the excretory organs. To those afflict
ed with pustulous or other eruptions,
ulcers, superficial or deep-seated sores, inflama
tory or chronic rheumatism, general prostration,
hepatie diseases, &c., Ac., it will be found to
produce a most beneficial, and so to speak, re
vitalizing effect.
Still further proof of the value and efficacy of
this medicine. Another link added to the chain
oftestimonv:
West Poultnev, Yt. f Dec. 4th, 1845.
Messrs. A. B. tf* D. Sands —Dear Sirs; —Al-
though a stranger, permit me to relate to you the
story of my sufferings and the relief I have ob
tainedirom the use of your Sarsaparilla. About
the middle of January. 1832, 1 was attacked with
a disease which my Physician called Rheuma
tism, andl used such remedies as were prescri
bed, and in about three weeks it left, but nearly
the same time the next year it appeared ag«in in
the same place, the right hip joint, from which it
increased, moving on from limb to limb and joint
to joint until it had emphatically taken posses
sion of my whole system. T tried every remedy
prescribed by the various Physicians, but was
doomed year after year to see my disease com
pletely baffle all the combined skill of the Medi
cal Profession. I became discouraged, all hope
of relief fled, prosperity was turned to adversity,
and I could say with the woman in the Scrip
ture, that 1 had spent all my living and received
no benefit. I continued this until September
1838, when I took a sudden and severe cold,and
immediately my disease raged with increased
fury throughout my whole system. My body
was racked with convulsions and twisted with
cramp until every join* was dislocated, and ev
ery limb painfully disto. ted. My limbs and body
were drawn together, nearly into a sitting pos
ture, in which every joint become so perfectly set
that it was impossible to move, hand or foot o
any of my limbs.
1 was confined in this condition aboutone year
Irom the above date to a common bed, next to a
hydrostatic bed for one year; from which I was
takenin February 1841, and placed in a largo
easy chair, made so as to conform to the angle
of my stiff body and limbs. 1 had not been long
in this chair before my feet began to swell and
continued to increase until the skin literally burst
at every poie, discharging such a quantity offluid
that large folds of cloths placed under and a
round them would be completely drenched in a
few hours. Besides this, they discharged a
gluey substance that accumulated in thick
crust upon the surface until matter was form
ed underneath when it peeled off, forming
| ulcers, which continued to increase until my feet
were one complete sore, so nauseous that ! be
came loathsome even to my nearest and best
friends. Although ray feet were so exceedingly
fender that I could scarcely endure the weight
of a cloth upon them, yet at limes they would
burn and itch so intolerably that my nurse would
be obliged to take a rough cloth and rub them
until it was sometimes saturated with blood, be
fore I could get relief, while at the same time
there was a raging inflammation throughout my
whole system, and a darting, throbbing pain in
everyjoint. All the nails on my fingers and toes
died and came off. I had a distressing pain in
my left side, a distracting headache almost con- ■
tinually, and besides my bowels were so torpid
that they did not move unless by the aid of pills
oftener than once in several days. This, sirs, is
but a faint description of roy actual state when
your Sarsaparilla, like an Angel of Mercy, found
me and administered to my relief. While remov
ing the wrapper from the first bottle, my wife
said, My dear husband, you must notallow your
self even to hope for relief, for if you do it will
only add another to your already many grievous
disappointments. I very sensibly felt the effects
of the first dose, and when I had taken one half
of the first bottle the discharge from mv feet en
tirely stopped, and the swelling began to abate
and before I had finished taking the second, the
burning and itchUg was gone, the loathsome
stench disappeared, the pain in my head, side
and back ceased, while my bowels lor the first
lime in four years moved naturally and have
continued to do so since, and my health is rapid
ly improving. By this you will see what an un
expected yet unspeakable blessing your Sarsapa
parilla has been to me, and I earnestly desire
that every one afflicted with such diseases as
come within its healing powers may obtain and
try it without delay. Your.afflicted friend,
Wm Ryder.

DR. CHRISTIE’S
Gi alvanic rings and mag
r NETIC FLUID.—This remarkable in
vention, which has received the almost universal
approbation of the medical prolession of Great
c ? m P r i s e s an entirely new application
of Galvanism, as a remedial agent, by means of
which the ordinary Galvanic Batteries, Electric
and Magnetic machines, Ac., are entirely dis
pensed with, and the mysterious power of Gal
vanism applied without any of the objections
which are inseparable from the general mode
now in use. The strong doses, and at regular
intervals in which Galvanism is applied by the
machines, has been pronounced, after a fair and
impartial trial, to be decidedly injurious , and it
was to remedy this radical defect, that this new
application was projected, which, after unceas
ing toil and perseverance, has been brought to
its present state of perfection. The Galvanic
Rings answer all the purposes of the most ex
pensive machines, and in many other respects
are more sq/eand certain in accomplishing the
desired effects.
T**® Galvanic Rings used in connection with
the Magnetic Fluid, are confidently recommend
ed in all disorders which arise from an enfeebled or
unhealthy state of the nervous or vital system , and
these complaints are among the most painful
and universal to which w'e are subject. They
arise, without exception, from one simple cause
—a derangement of the nervous system—and it
was in these cases that other “remedies” having
so often failed, a new agent was greatly needed,
which it is confidently believed, has been found
in the proper and judicious application of Gal
vanism.
The Galvanic Rings have been used with en
tire success in all cases ofrheumatism, acute or
chronic, applying to the head, face or limbs:
Gout, Tic-Doloreux, Toothache, Bronchitis, Ver
tigo, Nervous or Sick Headache, Indigestion,
Paralyses, Palsy, Epilepsy, Fits, Cramp, Palpi
tation of the Heart, Apoplexy, Stiffness of Joints,
Spinal Complaints, Lumbago, Neuralgia, Ner
vous Tiemors, Dizziness of the Head, Pains in
the Chest and t>ide, General Debility, Deficiency
of Nervous and Physical Energy, and all Ner
vous Disorders. In cases of confirmed Dys
pepsia, which is simply a nervous derangement
of the digestive organs, they have been found
equally successful. Their extraordinary effects
upon the system must be witnessed to be be
lieved, and as a certain preservative for the pre
ceding complaints they are equally recommended.
The Rings are of different prices, being made of
all sizes, and of various ornamental patterns, and
can be worn by the most delicate female with
out the slightest inconvenience. In fact, the
sensation is rather agreeable than otherwise.
The Galvanic Belts, Bracelets, Bauds
Garters, Necklaces, &c.
In some cases of a very severe character and
of long standing, the power as applied by the
Galvanic Rings is not sufficient to arrest the
progress of disease and ultimately to restore
health. The improved modification in the Gal
vanic Belts, Bracelets, Ac., entirely remedies
this objection ; any degree of power that is re
quired can readily be obtained, and no complaint
w hich the mysterious agent of Galvanism can
affect, will fail to be permanently relieved. These
articles are adapted to the waist, arms, wrists,
limbs, ancles, or any part of the body, with per
fect convenience. The Galvanic necklaces are
used with great benefit in cases of Bronchitis
or affections of the throat generally; also in
cases of Nervous Deafness; and with almost
uniform success as a preventive for Apoplexy,
Epileptic Fits, and similar complaints.
Christie’s Magnetic Fluid,
Is used in connection with the Galvanic
Rings, and all their modifications. This compo
sition has been pronounced by French chemists
to be one of the most extraordinary discoveries
oi modern science It is believed to possess a
remarkable power of rendering the nerves sensi
tive to galvanic action , by these means causing a
circulation of the influence at the seat of disease,
and thus giving rapid and permanent relief. No
other composition in chemistry is known to pro
duce the same effect, or to impart a similar pro
perty to the nervous system by means of an
outward local application. The Magnetic Fluid
contains nothing capable of tlm slightest injury,
its application is agreeable, and it is as harmless
in its action as it is beneficial in its result. Full
explanations and directions accompany it. The
combined inventions are in every way perfectly
harmless; they are aty»rices within the reach of
all, and the discoverer only requests a fair trial,
as a test of their surprising efficacy and perma
nent benefit.
Christie’s Galvanic Strengthening Plas
ters.
These articles iorm another valuable applica
tion of the mysterious influence of Galvanism.
They are an important adjunct to the genuine
Galvanic Rings, and their modifications, acting
upon the same principle, but having the advan
tage of more local application. They are confi- <
dently recommendee as a valuable addition in
the speedy cure of Rheumatism, acute or chronic;
in all nervous complaints, and as a positive reme
dy in cfc.se of Pain and Weakness in the Chest
or Back, Pain in the Side, in Asthmatic Affec
tions, and in Weakness or Oppressions of the
Pulmonary Organs. In Spinal Complaints their
effects are of the most decided character, and
they have often been used with complete success.
They are also of the greatest advantage in Pains
and Weakness of the Breast, and are highly re
i commended for many of those complaints to
which females are especially liable. As an
effectual means for strengthening the system
when debilitated with disease or other causes; as
a certain aid in Constitutional Weakness, as a
preventive for colds and in all affections of the
Chest generally, the Galvanic Strengthening
Plaster will be found of great and permanent ad
vantage. In a few words, it embraces all the ad
vantages of the best tonic preparation, with the
important addition of the Galvanic influence,
which is neither impaired or exhausted, while
the action continues. These articles will be
found entirely free from those objections which
are a constant source of complaint with the or
dinary plasters in common use.
fjT The great celebrity and success of these
articles, has caused them to be counterfeited by
unprincipled persons. To provide against impo
sition, Dr. Christie has butom authorized agent
in each city of the Union. The only authorized
Agency in Augusta, Geo., is at the store of
HAVILAND, RISLEY «* CO.,
Druggists, Ac. &c.
All articles of the kind, sold elsewhere, are

CHRONICLE m SENTINEL
Sergeant Milton.
Thrilling description of Sergeant Milton’s share
in May’s charge at Resaca de la Palma.
We listened with the deepest interest, on Satur
day last, to Sergeant Milton’s description of Capt.
May’s charge upon the Mexican battery, and his
own share iu that glorious struggle. Each man
engaged in it was a hero, and perhaps none of
those who survived passed through a greater share
: of peril than the brave veteran in question. His
modest, unassuming manner, and plain relation of
| facts, stamp them with the seal of truth, and the
I wounds on his person bear ample testimony to
every word he utters.
“ At Palo Alto,” says he, **l took my rank in the
troop as Second Sergeant, and while upon the field
my horse was wounded in the jaw by a grape shot,
which disabled him for service. While be was
i plunging in agony 1 dismounted, and the quick eye
of Capt. May observed me as 1 alighted from my
horse. He inquired if 1 was hurt. I answered
no, that my horse was the sufferer. “I am glad it
is not yourself,” replied hej “there ss another,”
(pointing at the same time to a steed without a ri
der, which was standing with dilated eye gazing
at the strife,) “mount him.” I approached the
horse, and be stood still until I put my hand upon
the rein and patted his neck, when he rubbed his
head alongside of me as if pleased that some hu
man being was about to become his companion in
the affray. He was a noble bay, whieh had, with
a number of others, been purchased for the troop
in St. Louis. I bestrode him, and we passed through
the first day unharmed.
On the second day, at Resaca de la Palma, our
troop stood anxiously waiting for the signU to be
given; and never had I looked upon men upon
whose countenances were more clearly ex pressed a
fixed determination to win. The lips of some
were pale with excitement, and their eyes wore
that fixed expression which betokens mischief;
others with shut teeth would quietly laugh and
catch a tighter grip of the rein, or seat themselves
with care and firmness in the saddle, while quiet
words of confidence and encouragement were
passed from each to his neighbor. Ail at once
Capt. May rode to the front of his troop—every
rein and sabre was tightly grasped. Raking him
self and pointing at the battery, he shouted;
“Men, follow P y There was now a clattering of
hoofs and a rattling of sabre sheaths—the fire of
the enemy’s guns was partly drawn by Lieutenant
Ridgely, and the next moment we were sweeping
like the wind up tbe ravine. 1 wav in a squad of
about nine men, who were separated by a shower
of grape from the battery, and we were in advance, •
May leading. He turned his horse opposite the
breastwork, in front of the guns, and with another
shout to “follow,” leaped over them. Several of
tbe horses did follow, but mine being new and not
well trained, refused; two others baiked,and (beir
riders started down the ravine to turn the breast
work where the rest of the troops had entered. I
made another attempt to clear the guns with my
horse: running him around —feeling all tbe time
secure at thinking the guns discharged—l put his
head towards them and gave him the spur, but be
again balked ; so, turning his bead down the ra
vine, I too started to ride round the breastwork.
“As I came down a lancer dashed at me with
lance in rest. With my sabre I parried his thrust,
only receiving a slight flesh wound from its point
in the arm, which felt at tbe time like tbe prick
of a pin. The lancer turned and fled; at that
moment a ball passed through my horse ou tbe left
side and shattered my right thigh. The shot killed
tbe horse instantly, and he fell upon my left leg,
fastening me by his weight to the earth. There I
lay, right in tbe midst of the action, where car
nage was riding riot, and every moment the shot,
both from our own and the Mexican guns, tearing
up the earth around me. I tried to raise ay horse
so as to extricate my leg, but 1 had already grown
so weak with my wound that 1 was unable, and
from the mere attempt 1 fell back exhausted. To
add to my horror, a horse that was careering about
riderless within a few yards of me, received a
wound and he commenced struggling and rearing
with paio. Two or three times he came near fall
ing on me, but at length, with a scream of agony
and a bound, he fell dead —his body touching my
own fallen steed. What I bad been in momentary
dread of, from tbe hot firing in my neighborhood,
now occurred —my wounded limb, which was lying
acmss tbe horse, received another ball in the
ankle.
“1 now felt disposed to give up, and exhausted
through pain and excitement, a film gathered over
my eyes which I thought was tbe precursor of dis
solution. From this hopeless state 1 was aroused
by a wounded Mexican calling out to me, * Bueno
Americano ,’ and turning my eyes towards the spot,
I saw that he was holding a certificate and calling
to me.* Tbe tide of action now rolled away from
me and hope again sprung up. The Mexican uni
forms began to disappear from tbe chaparral and
squadrons of our troops passed in sight, apparently
in pursuit. While I was thus nursing the pros
pect of escape, I beheld not far from me a vil
lainous-looking ranchero, armed with an Ameri
can sergeant’s short sword, despatching a wounded
American soldier, whose body he robbed —tbe
next he came to was a Mexican, whom he served
the same way, and thus I looked on while he mur
derously slew four. I drew an undischarged pis
tol from my bolsters and laying myself along my
horse’s neck watched him, expecting to be the
next victim ; but something frightened him from
his vulture like business and he fled in another
direbtion. I need not say that had be visited me
I should have taken one shot at the enemy and
would have died content had 1 succeeded In ma
king such an assassin bite the dust. Two hours
after I had tbe pleasure of shaking some of my
comrades by tbe band, who were picking up tbe
wounded. They lifted my Mexican friend, too,
and I am pleased to say, he, as well as myself,
lives to fight over again the sanguine fray of
Resaca dela Palma.”
Milton exhibited to us the certificate which
the Mexican soldier afterwards presented to him. It
is from the Treasurer of Coafanila, certifying that he
belonged to the regular cavalry of the Bth regiment,
and was named Carlos Silva. It is dated Saltillo, 13th
of Apiil, 1846.—an. Louis Reveille.
At the great Tammany Hal) meeting which
confirmed the nominations, Mike Walsh’s
among tbe rest, ot the Administration party in
New York city,just bclore ihe late election, it
was declared as a principle henceforth to be en
grailed on the party code that the public lands
should not be looked upon as a source of reve
nue, but be let to the actual cultivator in amall
quantities, free of price.
This proposition is likely to meet with accep
tation, we are told, among the great naass of
the party. The “progressives” have it all their
own way now with the democracy. Those
who were once regarded as patterns ot ortho
doxy find themselves shoved aside amt de
nounced as no democrats. “Look at the demo
cratic party ten years ago,” says a New York
paper, “and compare it with the party of that
name of tbe present day. Then yon will see
it under tbe control ot tbe sages of Old Tam
many, who, in the great wigwam, defined its po
sition and its principles. Look at it bow, and
you will see it under the control of new men, of
young men, and those sages are hardly allowed
to participate in its direction, but are compel
led to slay in the back ground, and shake their
heads at the new order ol things.”
The tendency towards radicalism is strong
among both parties in tbe State ef New York.
