DR. CHRISTIE’S GALVANIC RINGS
AND
magnetic fluid.
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
« van ‘ c Batteries, Electric and Magnetic machines, (fee.,
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; flie strong doses, and at regular intervals in
which Galvanism is applied by the machines, lias
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, alter 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 sqf s and certain in accomplishing the desired
effects.
The Galvanic Rings used in connection with the
Magnetic Fluid, arc confidently recommended in all
disorders ichich 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 found 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, loothache, Bronchitis, V ertigo, Nervous or Sick
Headache, Indigestion, Paralyses, Palsy, Epilepsy,
Fits, Cramp, Palpitation of the Heart, Apoplexy, Stiff
ness ot Joints, Spinal Complaints, Lumbago Neu
ralgia, Nervous Tremors, Dizziness of the Head,
Pains in the Chest and Side, General Debility, De
ficiency of Nervous aud 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.
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 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 F.uid 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,
Tlie Galvanic Belts, Bracelets, Bands,
Garters, Necklaces &-c.
In some cases of a very severe character aud 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, (fee., entirely
remedies this objection ; any degree of power that is
required can readily be obtained, and no complaint
which the mysterious agent of Galvanism can affect,
will fail to be permanently relieved. These articles
arc 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.
Cliristie’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 arc 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 Weakness, 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
ages 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 area constant source of complaint with
the ordinary plasters in common use.
fa*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 Uii'on. The only authorized Agency in Augusta,

DR. LE ROY’S
VEGETABLE UNIVERSAL
PILLS.
The only known Medicine that at the
same time Purges, Purijies and Strengthens
the System.
Dr. lcroy’s pills are a new medicine
which has just appeared, and is fast taking the
places of all others of the same class. These pills arc
composed of many ingredients, but the two principal
are Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry, so united as to act
together; the one, through its admixture with other
substances, purifying and purging, while the other is
strengthening the system. Thus these pills arc at the
same time tonic and opening; a desideratum long and
eagerly sought for by medical men but never before
discovered. In other words, they do the work of two
medicines, and do it much better than any two we
know of, for they remove nothing from the system but
the impurities, so that while they purge they strength
en; and hence they cause no debilitation, and are fol
lowed by no reaction.
Dr. Leßoy’s Pills have a wonderful influence ou
the blood ; they not only purify, without weakening
it, but they remove all noxious particles from the
chyle before it is converted into fluid, and thus make
impure blood an utter impossibility. As there is no
debilitation, so there is no nausea or sickness attend
ing the operations of this most excellent of medicines,
which never strains or tortures the digestive functions
but causes them to work in a perfectly natural man
ner, and hence persons taking them do not become
pale and emaciated, but the contrary, for while it is
the property of the Sarsaparilla, united as it is with
other ingredients, to remove all that is foreign and
impure, C it is equally the property of the Wild Cherry
to retain all that is natural and sound ; and hence a
robust state of health is the certain result of their
united operations.
Certificate from Sir James Clark, the eminent
English Physician.

celebrated Sir James Clark, promises fair to, in a great
measure, exclude the necessity of the lancet, for they
prevent too rrtuch tullness of blood, by forcing from
the chyle all impure matter, which would otherwise
be converted into fluid, and taint all the rest; and the
blood which is formed under their influence must,
from the nature ot their principal component parts, be
pure and healthy. In my private practice I have ex
cluded nearly every other cathartic in their favor;
and the more 1 use them, the more my confidence in
their virtues is confirmed. They unite extremes
which were heretofore considered paradoxical by the
faculty ; that is, they are a strengthening purgative
and a purifying tome ; hence they may at all times
be administered without hazard, no matter how weak
or debilitated the patient may be—insomuch as their
conservative properties are precisely in the ratio of
their purgative ellects—so that while they evacuate
the bowels in the most thorough manner, they also
trengthen and tone them.
From the Morning Chronicle, Dec. 11,1845.
One might think that people had discovered the
Elixir of life and were to die no more from the hub
bub they are making about the new medicine—Dr.
Le Roy’s Pills —the virtues of which all men are ex
tolling to their neighbors. We have taken pains toas
certaiu the truth of the matter and are able to say up
on sound authority that Dr. Leroy’s Vegetable Univer
sal Pills are deserving of all that can be said in their
favor and combine opposite and admirable qualities
never before united in a medicine ; those of purgatives
and tonics. The pills of Dr. Leroy have caused al
most as great a commotion among the public as the
writings of Boz ; and will probably render their dis
coverer equally immortal.
From the Medical 'Times, Sept. IS, 1815.
Opposed as we are to modern patent medicines we
cannot be silent, to the virtues of Dr. Le Roy’s much
lauded Lliscovery. His pills are indeed a purgative
which may be taken without a risk or the advice of a
physician ; for they produce evacuation without weak
ness, and cause energy in the digestive functions with
out straining them and thus paving the way for reac
tion and apathy.

EPPING’S
COMPOUND FLUID EXTRACT OF
SARSAPARILLA.
AND QUEEN'S DELIGHT, &C.
FOR purifying the blood, and removing all
diseases asising from the impurity of the same,
aud 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 Face, Old Sores, and all Cutaneous
Eruptions, Neuralgic Affections, Mercurial Diseases,
and for assisting the operation and preventing fatal
consequences of Mercurials m Syphilis.
This preparation (by adding the (iueen’s Delight,
(fee., 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. 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 aud painful Rheuma
tism that will not yield to the influence of SarsapariTu
and Q,ueen’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 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 ol hereditary
disease from the system, »n the tendercst infant; in
fact, in all cutaneous affections it is invaluable. As a
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 thestomacn and
promotes digestion.
It will effectually relieve Erysipelas even in its
worst stages, and all persons suffering 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 Hydriodated 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 of Charleston and neighborhood, with great sue
cess, viz: Dr. H. R. Frost; Dr. YV. G. Ramsay;
Dr. Thos. Y'. Simons; Dr. C. Pritchard; Mr S.

THE LAST SKIRMISH AT NATIONAL
BRIDGE.
Account of the Expedition of Captains
Wells, Haile and Fairchild.
The following statement of facts relating to
this hazardous enterprise may be interesting to
the friends of those engaged in it, if not to the
public in general:
Major Lally, who was on his way to Gen.
ocott, with some eighty wagons and a torce
amounting to about 1000 men, soon after leav
ing Vera Cruz sent back after some pieces of
artillery, which were sent him. Soon after
sending back he was attacked by a considera
ble force of guerrillas, about eight miles this
side of the National Bridge, and sent an ex
press to Col. Wilson for ammunition and rein
forcements. At the moment, the only availa
ble troops near Vera Cruz were a company
of raw recruits under Capt. J. M. Wells, of the
l‘2lh Infantry, and Capt. Fairchild’s volunteer
rangers. These were ordered to prepare im
mediately to depart with ammunition, &c., to
join Maj. Lally. On the following day (the 12th
of August) Capt. Haile, of the 14th' Infantry,
reached Vera Cruz on the Fanny after a pas
sage of twelve days from New Orleans, with
73 men. These men had been exposed to the
broiling sun on the deck of the vessel (horses
having occupied the space forward) and were
many ol them sick and worn out. The vessel
had not lost her headway in the harbor before
this company was ordered to prepare for im
mediate departure with the above named
troops, and was lauded in the city, where
arms were issued to the men and preparations
made lor a march. The men were, in conse
quence of some extraordinary omission of the
proper department, obliged to fast twenty-four
hours, at the end of which time they joined
the detachment intended for the relief of Major
Lally. The command devolved upon Capt.
Wells, an experienced and excellent officer.—
Capt. W.’s cornpajy numbered about 70 men,
Capt. Haile’s 63 and Capt. Fairchild’s about
'0 the latter well mounted. Under the pro
tection ol this command was a train of wagons,
drawn by wild, broken-down, but unbroken
mules.
Capt. Wells received orders from Col. Wil
son to join Major Lally on the Jalapa road with
out delay. It was believed that the reinforce
ment would come up with the train four miles
this side of the Nacional Bridge ; indeed it was
to help it across the bridge that it was particu
larly sent —but the order was imperative to
join Major Lally on the Jalapa road.
Thus prepared, or rather unprepared, with
two hundred raw recruits and a train of mise
rable, vicious, diminutive mules, the detach
ment set out on the 13th, and encamped that
night at Santa Fe, about seven miles from the
starting point. This day was very hot, and was
spent mostly in waiting for the teamsters to
whip, curse and reharness the mules, which
were constantly rearing and breaking from the
path.
On the morning of the J4th, at 9 o’clock, the
train again started, and when about midway
across the prairie a body of Mexican cavalry
was discovered to be hovering about it They
numbered some fifty, and were pursued, fired
upon r nd driven off by the mounted men.
No further interruption from the enemy oc
curred during the day. The mules continued
to embarrass the movement of the troops, the
command being obliged to halt every five or
ten minutes, until 9 o’clock atnight, when they
reached a place called Puente del Rio. There
was no guide with the tram —no one who knew
any thing of the road. As soon as the train
stopped a fire was discovered on a high hill
near - by, no doubt a signal to apprise the ene
my in advance of the approach of the com
mand.
Early the next morning Caut. Wells de
spatched Lieut. Henderson, of the Louisiana
Rangers, with ten men, who were accompanied
by three mounted Georgians and Dr. Cooper,
of the army, to Major Lally’s camp, directing
them to proceed cautiously and apprise the
major of his approach, but not to go further
thansix miles. This detachment has not since
been beard of, and was undoubtedly cut off.
The next morning the train was moved for
ward as soon as the teamsters could break in
(the mules required to be “ broken” every
morning) their unruly teams, and the march
was continued without further interruption from
the enemy until 12 o’clock, when the command
reached a bridge called Paso la Bajia, the rear
however being constantly annoyed by the ap
pearance of a few lancers who dodged them.
Whilst men and animals were refreshing them
selves at this place, a fire was opened on them
by a party of guerrillas, on a hijl that con#»
mauds die bridge. A large party of die enmy
had been d'wcovered before on a high hill be
yond the bridge. Capt. Wells, after seeing
thataliwusin readiness to move on, ordered
Capt. Haile, with a part of his company, to
move round under cover, ascend the first hill
and clear it of the enemy. This was promptly
accomplished, the Mexicans retiring before the
party could reach the eres: of the hill. On
reaching the superior height, however, the
party under Capt. H. surprised tke advance of
a body of Mexicans who were preparing to fire
down the steep hill at the troops, and drove
them from their position. Had not Capt. W.
taken the precaution to have the heights cleared
of the enemy the detachment must have suffer
ed severely, aud perhaps serious damage been
done to the train.
About four or five miles beyond this height
the command came to a valley, at the bottom of
whicli was a bridge, (the last this side of Puente
National,”) and just as the advance troops
(Fairchild’s and Hail’s companies) had advan
ced half way up the hill beyond, and the wa
gons had begun to pass the bridge, a heavy fire
was opened from the height on the right of .the
road, both on the cavalry and infantry, and up. /
on the train. This was about dusk. The firffef
which came from a thick chaparral,
promptly returned by our troops, who thC
covered themselves from the concealed ent£~j
and coolly disposed themselves for a nig.,£
rest, as had been the previous intention ol the
commanding officer. The enemy after firing
some two hundred cartridges, ceased their fruit
less operations. After an hour or two of quiet
Lieut. Wyche, commanding Capt. Wells’s
company, took some e.ght mounted men up
through a chaparral to a height opposite, when
the enemy opened their fire and fired a volley
to inform them that our people “were there.”
No disturbance during the night. No one was
hurt, but a horse was shot through .the jaws.
An hour before the day next morning Lieut.
! Wyche was sent to take possesion of the hiR
that contained the enemy the night before,
which he accomplished without opposition. A
little before sunrise the enemy appeared in
j numbers on the road at the c rown of the height
and commenced firing down into the camp, at
the same time shouting and using language
not very complimentary to the “ Americanos.”
It was discovered now that they had infantry
with them. Capt. Haile was ordered with his
company to ascend the hill on the left throogh
the chaparral aud endeavor to outflank th« ene-
