FOR purifying the blood, and removing all diseases asking from the impurity of the same, and is especiclly 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 Sarsaparilla,) combines in a more perfect degree than any known remedy, tonic and alterative powers, and is highly recommended by eminent Phy sicians. It is prepared in consequence of the recom mendations given by Dr. H. K. Frost Professor of M ateria Medica in the Medical College of Charleston, S. C., in his work on Materia Medica, only concen trated by a process of the subscribers to reader 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 SarsapariJ'a 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 tules, or blotches oa 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, »u 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 lake 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 sutfering from this 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 Hydriodaled Potash with it. Not wishing to publish certificates, as is done in the case of all quack medicines of the day, to effect their sale, and so force them upon the public, the subscriber begs leave to state that this preparation has been pre cribed and used by a number of Physicians and Plan ers c Charleston and neighborhood, with "Teat sue cess, viz: Dr. H.

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 I chopped my foot nearly off. 1 was in consequence laid up for some weeks. During this misfortune, I employ ed myseli in perusing the fragment leaves of an old volume, printed in England some hundreds of years ago. Among these scattered leaves I 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 sjtecial 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 be 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 possess 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. I 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. Ha ving prepared an Ointment from this article to my satisfaction, I gave it away to all who would use it. Hundreds, I 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 bis 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 fortv 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. But 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. Rheumaiism, Fevers , Quinsy, Sore 'Phroat , 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, such as Ulcer Sores, Scald Head , Tlumorsqf the Skin, In fiamations, Piles, Sore Eyes, Spraitis, Bruises and Burns, it seemed to be a perfect antidote. Peo ple would come intothe 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. Liver Complaint, particularly, was treated with great and universal success. Notwithstanding all, I have been careful not to re commend it, except in cases 1 knew it would do good. And because I held back from making it public, my 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. P., 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. One great principle was evolved from the applica tion of this medicine under such a variety of circum stances, and one of the utmost importance. I allude to the principle of Insensible Perspiration. I found that when applied to the cuticle, it acted upon that or gan in such a manner as to at once open all its pores, and restore perspiration when checked by cold and other causes. More than ten years passed in this man ner, in reducing to certainty the untold power and vir tue of the medicine. When the time finally came in which I could substantiate all 1 have said and all that was related to me, I determined to make it known. And in conclusion I would remark that I have placed this ointment before the people of these United States during the last nine or twelve months, and so general h;is been the satisfaction and so great amount of good done, that more than half a million boxes have already been sold. I do really believe there never was a medicine which gained such wide-spread, universal and unanimous satisfaction as the All- Healing Ointment. From all parts of tiie land there have come up one deep, sincere and universal voice of approbation, saying, “ M’Alister, thy tongue hath dropped the words of truth and love, while health forever attends thy footsteps.” And were I now to give all the good sayings of the people, their unqualified approval, their thankfulness and grati tude, theirjoy at recovery from disease and sickness, I could fill a volume. I am myself astonished to read the letters of approval, the wonderful cures performed, and the great good that has been done. James M’Alister, 50 Pulton-st. N. Y.

DR. CHRISTIE’S GALVANIC RINGS AND MAGNETIC FLUID. This remarkable 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 witliout 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 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 Rings 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 Rings 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” haring so often failed, a new agent was greatly needed, which it is confidently believed, has been lound in the proper and judicious application of Galvanism. The Galvanic Rings have been used with entire success in all cases of rheumatism, acute or chronic, applying to the head, face or limbs : Gout, Tic-Dolo reux, Toothache, Bronchitis, Vertigo, Nervous or Sick Headache, Indigestion, Paralyses, Palsy, Epilepsy, Pits, 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 tlie di?es tivc organs, they have been found equally successful. Their extraordinary elfects 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. The Galvaiiic 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 modifica tion in the Galvanic Belts, Bracelets, &c., entirely remedies this objection ; any degree of power that is required 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 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 Pits, and similar complaints. Christie’s Magnetic Fluid, Is used in connection with the Galvanic Rings, and all their modifications. This com position has been pro nounced by French chemists to be one of the most ex traordinary discoveries of modern 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 fectly 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’s 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 debilitated with dis ease or other causes; as a certain aid in Constitution al W eakness, as a preventive for colds and in all affec tions of the Chest generally, the Galvanic Strengthen ing Plaster will 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 Un’on. The only authorized Agency in Augusta, Ga., is at the store of HAVILAND, RISLEY & CO., Druggists, &c., &c.

Cll liOMCLE AND SEWTIMEL. Tuesday Morning, March 23. SPEECH OF MR. CALHOUN, IN REPLY TO Mr. BENTON, ON THE TIIRE E MILLION BIEL. [concluded.! But if we take out of the speech of the sena tor what he stated in relation to annexation, and the Florida treaty, in which,as I have stated, he has but repeated old and stale charges, that made the slightest impression on the country at the time, what is there left of his present at tack on me ? It is surprising that a man of his experience and sagacity should suppose that the repetition of thread-bare charges, regarded as futile when made, should make any impres sion now. Indeed, I may consider myself obliged to him for repeating them, after such elaborate preparation, as it affords the most conclusive proof how exempt my course has been from any just censure during the long pe riod of time in which he has attempted to trace it. To make good his allegation that I am the author of annexation, and that annexation caused the war, he asserts that I was in favor of the annexation of Texas as far back as 183 C, immediately after the battle of San Jacinto, and the capture of Santa Anna, to prove which, he read an extract from the speech which I delivered on the resolutions from Mississippi, presented by her Senator, now Secretary o f the Treasury, instructing her Senators to ob tain an immediate recogni-tion of the inde pendence of Texas. It is true that Itheu advocated an early re cognition of the independence of Texas, and her admission into this Union ; but I was not alone in that, nor did I take a leading part in the discussion : the two most prominent advo cates of her cause at that time were the Senator from Mississippi, and my then colleague, (Mr. Preston,) but they were seconded by a large portion of the body at the time. The distin guished Senator from Massachusetts bore a part in the debate, and expressed his opinion in favor of recognition at an early period, and of the vast importance of the future condition of Texas to our country. I have not had time to examine the discussion ; but find that I was among those who advised delay until further information could be obtained, and many were for prompt action ; but the Senator from Mis souri has thought proper, in the face of these facts, to hold me up as the only individual dis posed for prompt and immediate action. He has done more. He has expressed the fact very important to be known, that before the close of the session, the report of the Committee on Foreign Relations —recommending the acknow ledgement of the independence of Texas as soon as satisfactory information could be ob tained that it had successfully established a go vernment —was adopted by the unanimous voe of the Senate, including the Senator him telf; and that at the very next session her in dependence was recognized. Sir, I admit, even at that early period I saw that the incorporation of Texas into this union would be indispensable both to her safet} 7 and ours. I saw that it was impossible that she could stand as an independent power between us and Mexico, without becoming the scene of intrigue of foreign powers, alike destructive of the peace and security of both Texas and our selves. I saw more ; I saw the bearing of the slave question at that early stage, and that it would become an instrument in the hands of a foreign power of striking a blow 7 at us, and that two conterminous slave-holding communities could not co-exist, w ithout one being wielded to the destruction of the other. The .Senator is right. What 1 then said was intended to shadow forth the future ; that future which ac tually came, when I was called, by the unani mous voice of the country, to take charge ofthe State Department, in reference to these very events. I saw, with General Jackson, that the golden opportunity had occurred w hen annex ation must take place, in order to avoid inter minable difficulties and great disasters; and see# ing it, I did not hesitate to undertake the duty which had been assigned me, notwithstanding the difficulties, from the weakness of the ad ministration at that period. I succeeded in de spite of them ; and that, too, without war ; and all the elaborate efforts of the Senator, never can deprive of me of the credit to which I am entitled, in reference to the great question of annexation. On a review ofthe whole, my course, I may say, exhibits not only soir e foresight i u reference to it, but also some power of averting the dan gers, and securing the end which I desir ed. Every measure towards the accomplishment of annexation had been consummated before h e present administration came into power.— No war followed, although the act of annexa tion had been completed more than a year be fore the rupture between us and Mexico took place; nor would war have followed at all had we acted with ordinary prudence. That Mex ico was chafed, chagrined ; that she threatened much and blustered much ; talked about war. and even the existence of hostilities—are all true. It w as, how ever, but talk. The strong should always permit the weak and aggrieved to talk, bluster and scold, without taking of fence ; and, if we had so acted, and exercised proper skill in the management of our affairs, Mexico and ourselves would by this time, have quietly and peaceably settled all difficulties, and been good friends. We have chosen to pur sue an opposite course, and are in war. Every senator knows that I was opposed to war, but none knows but myself the depth of that opposition. With :ny conceptions of its character and consequences, it was impos sible for me to vote for it. When, accordingly, I was deserted by every friend on this side of the house, including my then honorable col league, among the rest, (Mr. McDuffie,) 1 was not shaken in the least degree in reference to my course. On the passage ofthe act recogniz ing the war, I said to many of my friends that a deed had been done from which the country would not be able to recover for a long lime, if ever; and added, it has dropped a curtain betw'een the present and the future, which to me is impenetrable; and for the first time since I have been in public life, I am unable to see the future. I also added that it has closed the first volume of our political history under the constitution, and opened the second, and that no mortal could tell what would be written in it. These deep impressions were made up on my mind, because I saw, from the circum stances under which the war was made, a total departure from that course of policy which has governed the country from the commence ment of our government until that time; and that, too, under circumstances calculated to lead to most disastrous consequences. Since then less than a year has elapsed, but in that short period, enough has already been developed to make what was then said look like prophecy. But the Senator charges, entertaining as I did these impressions, that I did not take a stand, and arrest the march of Gen. Taylor to the Rio del Norte I have stated the reasons on another occasion why I did not; and how ever unsatisfactory they may be to the senator.
