McAI.ISTKH’S ALL-IIKAI.ING OINTMENT. ABOUT the year 1817, I was living in the west ern part of this State, pursuing the occupation of a farmer. One day while chopping in the woods 1 chopped my foot nearly fill. 1 was in consequence laid up for some weeks. During this misfortune, I employ ed myself in perusing the fragment leaves of an old volume, printed in England some hundreds of years ago. Among these scattered leaves 1 read of an herb showing properties and qualities never before found in any plant that was ever discovered. This one herb, under the force of the Retort and Crucible, developed more than ten distinct properties. This fact struck my mind so forcibly that it was im possible to get rid of it. It occupied my thoughts by day and by night. Something seemed to tell me that Providence, whose special care is extended towards all his creatures, had never concentrated into one small herb so many medical qualities, as various and as com plicated though as perfectly identical as the human blood, without a wise and good purpose. Here was to he found the acids, the alkalis, the oils, the water, the air, the salts, the soda, &c., all combined, concen trated and chemically united into ONE single element of power, forming a substance more allied and in affi nity to the human blood than was ever before discov vered in the works of nature. I was satisfied in my own mind that a medicine formed from this herb would jxwsess more virtue and power than any ever yet made. Everything seemed to point my mind to one object, viz: the preparation of this herb into a medicine. 1 then determined to return to the city of New York. I did so, and immediately inquired for this herb. It was not to be found. I then sent to Europe, and there found it under another name. Having prepared an Ointment from this article to my satisfaction, I gave it away to all who would use it. Hundreds, 1 might say thousands, took it into their families, used it, some for one thing and some for ano ther, and all, from the very first to the very last, pro nounced it of unrivalled excellence and power. The first case, however, that came under my obser vation, was a man who had lost the use of his arm for some years. The Ointment restored his arm com pletely in a few days. This surprised me as much as it did the patient. After him there came a man with sore eyes, produced by gunpowder —a very bad case indeed. One box only sufficed to make a perfect cure. And I would here remark that hundreds have been cured of sore eyes who never found any relief but in this Ointment. There next came a woman who was suffering ex cruciating pain from the ague in the face. Her physi cian, (thinking it the tooth-ache,) had extracted seven of her teeth. The application of the All-Healing Ointment was attended with immediate cessation of pain. About the same time a lady made application with it for head-ache of long standing, and a falling of the hair. The Ointment cured her head-ache, and restored her hair. Since this, I have known the Oint ment to cure cases of ten, twenty, and one of forty years standing. I hesitate not to say that it is almost an infallible remedy for this complaint. About this time there were two cases, one of con sumption, and the other of scrofula, which had baf fled the skill of every physician who prescribed. It was wonderful to witness the effect of the Ointment on these persons. No one would believe it unless they had personally witnessed it. Hut it did the work pro perly. There was no half way business, for they re covered their health in a few months. To name all the cases would be tedious. I suppose it was tried for almost every complaint which are so -common in this latitude. Rheumatism, Fevers, Quinsy, Sore ' Throat, Cutaneous Eruptions, Diseases of the. Spine and Nervous Complaints, were treated with it with un heard of success. But in Chest Diseases , such as Asthma, Pain and Oppression , I believe there is no better remedy. Also, the common diseases, suchjas Ulcer Sores, Scald Head, Humors of the Skin, In /tarnations, Piles, Sore Eyes, Sprains, Bruises and Burns, it seemed to be a perfect antidote. Peo ple would come into the store smiling, wishing to know if I was really the Seventh Son, or whether the Oint ment I gave them was indeed all-healing in its nature. For, said they, not one single application has failed to cure. Dicer Complaint , particularly, was treated with great and universal success. Notwithstanding all, I have been careful not to re commend it, except in cases I knew it would do good. And because I held hack from making it public, ray friends censured me. But I was never willing to lend myself to anything of this character without first test ing its merits. This I endeavored to do on every oc casion, and when I acted as one of the sick committee in the Lodge of I. O. of O. F., I then tested it upon brothers in the most critical conditions, and had abun dant opportunity of proving its worth. In this way, and various other ways, it found ac cess among the people, until so many were using it that it was demanded from the very necessity of the case - V JAMES Me A LISTER, 150 Fnlton-st., N. > HAVILAND, RISLEY & CO., dB-6m Agents, Augusta.

CHRISTIE’S GALVANIC RINGS AND MAGNETIC FLUID, i This rehahkable invention, which has received the almost universal appro bation of the medical profession of Great Britain, com prises an entirely new application of Galvanism, as a remedial agent, by means of which the ordinary Gal vanic Batteries, Electric and Magnetic machines, &c., are entirely dispensed with, and the mysterious power of Galvanism 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, audit was to remedy this radi cal defect, that this new application was projected, which, after unceasing toil and perseverance, has been brought to its present state of perfection. The Gal vanic Kings answer all the purposes of the most ex pensive machines, and in many other respects are more safe and certain in accomplishing the desired effects. The Galvanic Kings used in connection with the Magnetic Fluid, are confidently recommended in all disorders which arise from an enfeebled or un healthy state of the nervous or vital system, and these complaints are among the most painful and universal to which we are subject. They arise, without ex ception, 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 Galvanism. The Galvanic Rings have been used with entire success in all casej of rheumatism, acute or chronic, applying to the head, face or limbs : Gout, Tic-Dolo roux, Toothache, Bronchitis, Vertigo, Nervous or Sick Headache, Indigestion, Paralyses, Palsy, Epilepsy, Fits, Cramp, Palpitation of the Heart, Apoplexy, Still ness of Joints, Spinal Complaints, Lumbago, Neu ralgia, Nervous Tremors, Dizziness of the Head, Pains in the Chest and Side, General Debility, De ficiency of Nervous and Physical Energy, and all Ner vous Disorders. In cases of confirmed Dyspepsia, which is simply a Nervous Derangement of the diges tive organs, they have been found equally successful. Their extraordinary effects upon the system must be witnessed to be believed, and as a certain preservative for the preceding complaints they are equally recom mended. 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 without the slightest inconvenience. In fact, the sensation is rather agreeable than otherwise. Tlie Galvanic Belts, Bracelets, Bands, Garters, Necklaces, &r. 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 modifica tion in the Galvanic Belts, Bracelets, &c., entirely remedies this objection ; any degree of power that is required can readily he obtained, and no complaint which 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 perfect convenience. The Galvanic necklaces are used with great benefit in cases of Bronchitis or Affections of the Throat gene erally ; 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 composition has been pro nounced by French chemists to be one of the most ex - traordinary discoveries of modem science. It is be lieved to possess a remarkable power of rendering the nerves sensitive to galvanic action, by these means causing a circulation of the influence at the seat of dis ease, and thus giving rapid and permanent relief. No other composition in chemistry is known to produce the same effect, or to impart a similar property to the nervous system by means of an outward local appli cation. The Magnetic Fluid contains nothing capable of the 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 per tectly harmless; they are at prices within the reach of all, and the discoverer only requests a fair trial, as a test of their surprising efficacy and permanent benefit. Christie’* Galvanic Strengthening Plas ters. These articles form another valuable application 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 advantage of more local application. They are confidently recommended as a valuable addition in the speedy cure of Rheumatism, acute or chronic ; in all nervous complaints, and as a positive remedy in case of Pain and Weakness in the Chest or Back, Pain in the Side, in Asthmatic Affections, and in Weakness or Oppressions of the Pulmonary Organs. In Spinal Complaints their effects are of the most decided cha racter, 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 commended for many of those complaints to which fe males are especially liable. As an effectual means for strengthening the system when deuilitated with dis ease or oilier causes; as a certain aid in Constitution al Weakness, as a preventive for colds and in all affec tions of the Chest generally, the Galvanic Strengthen ing Plaster w ill be found of great and permanent ad vantage. In a few words, it embraces all the advan tages 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 ob jections which are a constant sonree of complaint with the ordinary plasters in common use. The great celebrity and success of these ar ticles has caused them to be counterfeited by unprinci pled persons. To provide against imposition, Dr. Christie has but one authorized agent in each city of the Unfon. The only authorized Agency in Augusta, Ga.. is at the store of HAVILAND, RISLEY & CO., Druggists, &c., &c. All articles of the kind, sold elsewhere, are worth less counterfeits. fi 29 PHILOTOKEN or FEMALE’S FRIEND. Beauty, comfort and health SECURED!—By the use of that invaluable remedy the Philotoken or “ Female’s Friend.” This medicine is prepared from Roots that act in unison with nature, in the prevention, relief and cure of those disorders peculiar to the Female system. Painful and disordered mensturation—the cause of premature old age, of barrenness, &c.—is speedily relieved and the regular healthful action of the organs secured, 1 by the use of the Philotoken, and for all those sympathetic affections attendant on pregnancy —irri- tability, nausea, heart-bum, &c.; and as a preventive of periodical abortion, this remedy stands not only un rivalled. but is almost infallible. The Philotoken is put up in bottles at $1.50 each, with full directions. Its use can in no case do harm, and so certain is the proprietor that it will give un qualified satisfaction to all who use it according to the directions, that he authorizes his agents to refund the money in any case where it foils.

He can offer no better recommendations in favor of his gins, than the fact of having supplied more than 'Pwelve Hundred planters with them during the last two years, while no other factory has probably sold in the State as many as one hundred during the same time. No expense will be spared to sustain their high reputation, and render them still more perfect if possible. They will be warranted as usual to perform well, and delivered at the purchaser’s residence. Engage ments can he made with his travelling agents, or by letter directed to him ap2B-tf SAMUEL GRISWOLD. G. T. OGLESBY & BROTHER S ANTI FRICTION GINS. Sparta, Georgia. WE OFFER to I lie public the above article. From fifteen years experience and labor in making Colton Gins, we are of opinion that there is little room left for improvement on the above article. The materials are of the best quality, portions of the work of every gin passing through our shop are done by G. T. Oglesby. Our charges for the above article are higher than any others charge for Cotton Gins. We sell the finest article we make at three dollars per saw; hut if our price is different, our Gins are dif ferent, and so is the price of cotton ginned on them. Most of the planters have heretofore complained that cotton buyers are so choice in the article, that they will acknowledge none to be worth the highest quotations now. It is not uncommon for sellers of cotton ginned by our gins to obtain one quarter of a cent per jiound over the highest quotations , as various certificates will show’. An impression has gone abroad prejudicial to our interest in one particular; it is believed by many, we make no other articles than our Friction Roller Gins, and for which we charge three dollars. We shall keep on hand and also execute to order a superior article of plain gins, which will be sold for less money, and will make equally fine cotton. We are determined to suit every class of purchasers. We will sell a plain article as low as can be desired by those who are not content w ith price alone. All orders addressed to us at Sparta, Ga., w ill be immediately attended to. CERTIFICATES. Augusta, April 6th, 1846.— G. 'P. Oglesby, Esq. —Dear Sir:—l have examined several crops of cotton ginned by your make of gins, and take pleasure in recommending them to the planters of Georgia, as equal to any I have seen in the State. Very respectfully yours, M. M. DYE. Savannah, Ajrril ‘3oth, 1846. —The undersigned, Factors and Commission Merchants, take pleasure in stating that the best cotton they have received or seen, during the present season, was from the plantation of gentlemen residing in the county of Hancock, who use gins manufactured by G. T, Oglesby, of said county. It has, in every instance, commanded the highest market price, and very frequent!}’ a quarter to half a cent above thejhighest quotations. We cheer fully recommend them to our planting friends. RABUN & PULTON, J. L. SWINNEY. Mr. Oglesby — Sir: —l have just finished ginning my crop of cotton, on one of your Friction Roller Gins, and 1 take great pleasure in stating that it has performed to my entire satisfaction. The cotton ginned on it being freer from motes and trash, and the quality of tlie staple less injured than that ginned on any other gin I have ever used. I have not yet sold my crop of potton, hut I feel confident of obtaining the best market crice for it. Yours respectfully, April 7, 1846. RICHARD P. SASNETT. I have used one of Mr. Oglesby’s Friction Roller Cotton Gins, and hesitate not in saying that his gins are superior to any gins that I have ever seen. Dur ing the past season my cotton has commanded the highest market price, and in several instances has obtained one-eighth of a cent more than the highest Savannah quotations. His gins are superior to any 1 have ever seen, in taking out trash and motes, &c., and w ill, in my judgment, make cotton, from the same quality of seed cotton, that will command from one eighth to a quarter of a cent more than anv other gins. Sparta, April 7, 1846. THOS. M. 1 do hereby certify that I bought one of Messrs. G. T. Oglesby & Brother’s Anti-Friction Gins in 1844, on which 1 have ginned about 175 hales of cotton, and I do say that I have been a cotton planter for upwards of fifty years, and I have used many gins, but I have no hesitation in saying that the Oglesby gin is decided ly the best gin 1 have ever used, or that 1 ever saw’ used. I always sell my cotton fertile highest market price in Augusta, and the merchants there give my cotton the praise of being a superior article. I have ginned in six days fourteen bales, all in daylight, and I consider the gin none the worse for wear. JOHN H. BROUGHTON. Green County, Ga., April 12, 1846. We have used and seen in operation for several years past Mr. G. T. Oglesby’s Gins, and from some ex perience in cottonginning, are well satisfied that they are the best W’e have ever seen in use. P. D. GONDER, MARK GONDER. I certify that I have one of Mr. G. T. Oglesby’s Gins, and that I consider it superior to any Gin that I have ever seen. A liberal patronage of the public will not be withheld from him when the character of his gins are known. I was induced to purchase one from the character given to him by Commission Mer chants of Augusta. I have abandoned for his a gin which I had only used two years, and consider that 1 was compensated for purchasing by the difference be tween the two in ginning my last crop. April 13, 1846. ' J. M. GONDER. Augusta, April 8, 1846.—G. T. Oglesby, Esq.— Yours of the 30th ult., inquiring whether we had re ceived any cotton the past season ginned by your “Improved Gin,” came direct to hand, and would have been replied to earlier but for the press of business. We have received but one crop this season, that, we know of, which we had sampled after the receipt of your letter, for the purpose of ascertaining its merits, and we congratulate you upon the decision of several of our most experienced judges, who, after comparing it with the best brands in the city, decided that it was inferior to none. We have since sold the crop, and are satisfied that the ginning enhanced its value, from a quarter to half of a cent per pound. We would advise yon to make no more improve ments; your “ Improved Gin,” is good enough, and can’t fail to give the most general satisfaction. Respectfully, DAWSON & WEAVER, Savannah, 26th, November, 1845. —Mr. Oglesby— Dear Sir: Knowing that there were great improve ments going on in the way of gin making, I have put off buying a new one for a year past, for the purpose of testing the gins of different makers by samples of their cotton. I have examined various samples of cotton in this market, and find that your gins give decidedly the best of any that I saw. I wish you to make me one of your best friction roller gins of fifty saws, and have it ready by the next crop. Respectfully, W. R. BATTLE. Hancock, Ga., Ith April , 1846.—1 do hereby cer tify that I have used one of G. T. Oglesby’s Improved Friction Roller Cotton Gins, and find it to come fully up to my expectations every way. My Commission Merchant in Augusta spoke in the highest terms of the manner in which it was ginned, and sold it for the highest prices. GEORGE W, CULS ER. Sparta Ga., Ith April, 1846.—Mr. Oglesby— Sir; I have ginned one hundred bales of cotton on the improved Friction Roller Gin I bought of you, and am well pleased with its performance. My factor wrote me that it was well ginned. 1 prefer them to any gin I have seen. Yours respectfully, JOSEPH R. SASNETT. Hancock, Ga., Ith April, 1846.—This is to certify that I have ginned on one of G. T. Oglesby’s im proved Friction Roller Cotton Gins about one hundred and fifty hales of cotton, and am fully satisfied that they are the best gins now in use. It runs lighter and cooler, and wears less than any gin I have ever use d. H. C. CULVER. Sparta , Ga., April 15th, 1846. ap2s-lyw Business Cards. | To Professional & Business Men.

Jasper County, August 21, 1846. mh-lOwly EPPING’S COMPOUND FLUID EXTRACT OF SARSAPARILLA, AND QUEEN’S DELIGHT, C. FOR purifying the blood, and removing all diseases asisiug from the impurity of the same, and is especially recommended for the cure of Rheu matism, Scrofula, Erysipelas, Ulcerations of the Throat and legs, Pains and Swellings of the Bones, Tetters, Pimples in the Pace, Old Sores, and all Cutaneous Eruptions, Neuralgic Affections, Mercurial Diseases, and for assisting the operation and preventing fatal consequences of Mercurials in Syphilis. This preparation (by adding the Queen’s Delight, &c., to the Siirsaparilla,) combines in a more perfect degree than any known remedy, tonic and alterative powers, and is highly recommended by Phy sicians. It is prepared in consequence of the recom mendations given by Dr. H. R. Frost, Professor of Materia Medica in the Medical College of Charleston, S. C., in his work on Materia Medica, only concen trated by a process of the subscriber’s to render it more convenient for administration, and with the exception of the addition of mercury which may at all times be added when necessary. To show the high estimation which Dr. F. entertains of the combination of these articles, it is only necessary to refer to the above men tioned work. There are few cases of chronic and painful Rheuma tism that will not yield to the influence of SarsapariTa and Queen’s Delight, if duly persevered in, especial ly if taken in conjunction with Hydr. of Potash. It is highly recommended for all diseases of the skin, chronic as well as recent. One bottle will, in most instances, effectually remove all pimples, pes lules, or blotches on the face, to which young persons in this climate are so much subject, arising either from impurity of the blood or debility. It is the best remedy known for scrofulous affections, sores and breakings out in young children, and is safe and effi cacious in removing entirely every trace of hereditary disease from the system, in the tenderest infant; in fact, in all cutaneous affections it is invaluable. Asa general purifier of the blood, and an eradicator of all obstinate diseases, this preparation will undoubtedly take the precedence of all other remedies. It gently operates upon and regulates the bowels, restores to the blood its wonted purity, gives tone to the stomach and promotes digestion. It will effectually relieve Erysipelas even in its worst stages, and all persons suffering from litis dis tressing complaint are advised to use it, first so, but if no marked relief be found after taking one bottle, it will be necessary to use the Hydriodated Potash with it.

Historical Sketch of the Sikhs— Nanac, the great prophet and reformer of the Punjaub, was born in 1549, and his reformation was near ly contemporary with that of Luther in Europe. He did not pretend to work miracles; and it was said by him that a holy teacher needed no other defence than the purity of his doctrines. His followers were called Sikhs, or disciples, and for more than a hundred years increased in number without exciting the jealousy of their Mahometan rulers. About 1606, Argunmal who was a priest of the Sikhs, improved their sacred books, and first gave a form and union to the sect. He fell a victim to the revenge of the Government. Under his son, Har Goviud, the JSikhs took up arms to revenge the death of their reverend ruler, and for a time irreconcilable hatred sprung up between the followers of Nanac and Mahomet. In the government of Guru Govind, the grandson of Har Govind, the Sikhs took the form of a nation, and materially altered the fundamental doctrines of their religion. The object of Nanac had been to purify the religion of Brahma, which he united with his own, and treated with the greatest respect; but Guru Govind broke all terms with the Hindoos, abol ished caste, and made the equality of all men the basis of his doctrine. He required every indi vidual to devote himself to arms, and always to have about him steel in one shape or other. He gave the nation the name of Singh, or lion, a name of distinction assumed by the first military class of Hindoos. Guru Govind was, after a long contest, over whelmed by the arms of Aurungchi, and the Sikhs were long persecuted most cruelly by the Mahometans. They recovered their liberty at the death ofNadic Shah, in 1747, and retorted the cruelties they had suffered. The Mahomet ans now, in turn, appear to be highly pleased by their severe chastisement by the English.— As early as 1814. they were supposed to be able to send 100,000 horse into the field; since then, their resources have been developed and husbanded, their power consolidated, and then discipline perfected (through the means of French officers) by Kunjeet Singh, the firm ally of England. From the time of his death, they have resem bled Praetorian Cohorts in the old age of the Roman Empire and established a purely milita ry government, wdiich, from its nature, could not long refrain from aggression upon its neigh bors. They have now been taught that there are generals more skilful, and soldiers more re sistless than themselves. The creed of the Sikhs, says Col. Malcolm is pure Deism. They admit no images; their worship is simple and spiritual. Mr. Wilkins relates that he visited one of their places of worship: when he asked permission to enter, he was told that it was open to ail mankind ; but he was desired, in token of respect to take otf his shoes. In the chancel, there was an altar covered with a gold cloth, upon which was laid a sword, covered by a round black shield. On a desk, near the altar was placed a large hook. An old man with a reverend beard, kneeling before the desk (attended by a person with a drum, and two or three others with cymbals) opened the book, and chaunted to the tune given them. At the conclusion of every verse, the congregation joined in a reponse, "it was a hymn in praise of the deity. A young man next stood forward and pronounc cdw ith a loud and distinct voice, a kind of lita ny, in which at certain periods, all the people joined in a general response of “Wa Gooroo.” They prayed against temptation, for grace to do good, for the general good of mankind, and for an especial blessing on the Sikhs. A short benediction from the old man, and an invitation to a friendly feast, concluded the ceremony. Nanac taught the omnipresence of God, and that he dwells not more particularly in one place than another—(more enlightened in this than some Christians, who still imagine that the Most High “ dwelleth in temples made with hands;” and especially in a part of the building, which they frequently how to ! Nanac was re proached by the Mahometans for lying with his feet towards the house of God. “ Turn them,” said he, if you can, where the house of God is not.” He taught his followers three things espeeial ly: Ist. To worship the name of God; 2d. Charity: 3d. Ablution; and that they must not seclude themselves from the world, nor do ill to any being, for that into all the breath of God is infused. He said that he himself w r as direct ed to put on armor that would harm no one; that his coat of mail was to be that of the under standing; that he was to convert all his enemies into friends ; that he was to fight with valor, but with no other weapon that the word of God. —Lirerjwol Courier.
