GLANCES AT CONGRESS—No. 3.
Look over into this buzzing hall from your
teat in tlie ladies’ gallery, over the Speaker’s
chair. The member with the light hair, and
stalwart form, a face in which obstinacy and dry
humor are both to lie plainly read, is Joseph M.
Root, of Ohio. When he speaks he has a
harsh voice, but by no means a bad manner. —
lie runs over with anecdotes. Notwithstanding
his ultra Abolition or Proviso tendencies, every
body listens and laughs at him. He will talk in
terminably and rareiy without uttering some
thing outre or peculiar. During the stormy days
before the election of Speaker, before the debate
was restricted f>v the admirable resolution of Mr.
Dimmick, of our State, lie would pour out his
sentiments by hours, amid roars of laughter. If
you notice him you will perceive that he talks to j
nearly every body, and nearly every body seems :
to talk to him. Root, on the Whig side of |
the House, left of the Speaker: and Joshua
R. Biddings, of the same school, is in his
range. He is about sixty years of age; has
a strange and awkward expression of face;
slid hates Winthrop with hearty and good will.
It was his vote, thrown for Wm. J. Brown, for
Speaker in December, which led to the explosion !
and deprived that gentleman of the velvet seat
now occupied by 31 r. Cobb. The South were
alarmed at Giddings voting for any body they
supported; and when the examination was made
it was found that Giddings voted in view of a
pledge, amounting, nearly, to nothing, but object
ed to because given to such agitators as the Free
Sobers. There is Thadeus Stevens, the repre
sentative of Lancaster county, in this State, an
able and bold man in debate, but by no means a
sincere or exemplary man. Ilis countenance is
familiar to most Pennsylvanians, as are bis acts:
but it may not be so to others. He has a coid,
callous, and unchanging lace. Imperturabie to
emotion, it is rarely lighted up save with a sar
donic grin. lie wears a wig, and is stout and
well proportioned. During the late speech of
Mr. Ross, of Bucks county, in this Slate, which
was delivered with much energy and eloquence,
31 r. Stephens drew up his chair with others, to
listen to what was said. Soon after, Ross be
gan to scarify him literally, shaking his finger in
lus face, and reminding him of certain pecca
dilloes in politics. Stevens tried to laugh it oft’;
but the attack was too well said, and too delib
erat'd)'made ; and Le sheered “out of range of
tlie lire.” The tall member, with glove and
cane, now coming into the House, is David S.
Kauffman, of Texas—is as fair a specimen of
a good-looking man as is anywhere (o be found.
He is a Pennsylvanian by birth, though repre
senting Texas; where his popularity is such,
lhat at his last election of some thousand votes
thrown, he got all but two or three hundred.—
Several seats nearer the door, to the right of the
Speaker, you \vi I see three familiar face. Don’t
you know them ! That fair complexion, light
jiair, broad open brow, and tall manly figure,
will indicate to you James X. McLanahan, of the
Franklin district, a rising man in Pennsylvania,
and one of the best orators in either House. He
sits between John Robbins, jr., of the IVlh dis
tricts of this county, (whose fine business habits
and upright deportment every body knows,) and
Job Mann, of the Bedford District—an expe
rienced public servant, without pretension, and
yet one of the most useful and popular mem
bers on the floor.
The tall young man, now coming up to Mr.
Mann, is Andrew Jackson Ogle, the YVhig repre
sentative from Somerset, Fayette and Greene I
District—“a fellow of infinite jest, of most excel- j
lent fancy.” He is about the legal age, on the off i
side of twenty, and is a handsome man to boot. ■
His quaint sayings have made him many friends;
but he is evidently looked upon with jealous
eyes by the elders of iiis political church at
home, who may try to prevent his re-noinina
tion for his present position. Even if they fail,
it seems to be conceded that Dawson, of Fayette,
w ill be his Democratic successor. At least, he
will give him a very hard chase for it. In the
vicinity of McLanahan’s seat you will see a
gentleman somewhere north of fifty, whose face
and deportment are full of character. In him
you have Gov. McDowell, of Va., whose glori
ous speech you may have read, made under
circumstances so dramatic, during the last ses
sion.ol the 13th Congress, and so universally
published and appended. It contained ele
gance and beauty, was pronounced with a fer
vor and eloquence that electrified the House,
and held it spell-bound for two long hours. A
most agreeable companion and warm-hearted
friend is this accomplished gentleman. Two or
three seats from him is R. M. McLane, the rep
resentative of Baltimore city, and a democrat;
a form of medium height, a face full of expres
sion, and eyes of fire : and an appearance gen
erally of a very young man. McLane was in
tended lor a soldier, having been educated at
West P oint, and done service in Florida. Not I
many years ago, he came into politics, and now !
to hear him on the floor, you will be surprised to I
observe how like a statesman he thinks and j
talks. He is chairman of the Committee
on Commerce. His motto ought to be “Excel
sior. ’ Maryland has a splendid delegation in !
Congress. Mr. Hammond, who represents Bal
timore county, is anew member, and lias a clear
and cultivated intellect, and discharges his du
ties most conscientiously. He has a devotion
for his friends not often seen in public.men.—
Then we have Mr. Hamilton, of the Frederick
District, whose contest against McKaig was so
remarkable in all respects, and whose speeches
before the people were so bold and effective.—
He has not yet spoken on the absorbing ques
tion of the day. When he does, he will make a
sensation Mr. Hamilton has youthful appearance,
but decision, energy and intellect are written
plainly upon his countenance. Do you notice
the member with black hair, and rather dark
complexion, in earnest conversation with Harry
Hibbard, of New Hampshire — Hibbard is with j
the spectacles and blue coat ? That is Alfred
Gilmore, of the Butler District, in this State, a
Democrat. This is his first trial in any legisla
five body. He carried his District by 300 ma-i
jority, in IS IS, and Gen. Taylor afterwards got it
by twice that number of votes. Mr. Gilmor is j
the son of the late Hon. John Gilmore, of W f- ;
ern Pennsylvania, well known in politca! circles. !
ami the brother of Hon. Samuel A. Gilmore, j
Presiding Judge of the Washington, Fayette,
and Greene District. Like his friend Hibbard j
is also a now member, though he has been
Speakorofboth branches of his State Legislature.
I ft* is a genuine specimen of a New England
Democrat—frank, honest and warm-hearted,
and is said to be a practis and orator. On one
of the seats on the back range on the right,
you will notice a young man with long black
hair, rather pale face, and a large piercing eye.
That is John K. Miller, of the Mount Vernon
District, Ohio : and this is his second session of
Congress. He is known as the impersonation of
an ultra Democrat, and has the nerve and
determination which such men ought to possess.
Even those who do not agree with him, respect
him for the. ability and boldness with which he
adheres to his opinions. Nearer to the aisle, you
see a gentleman of about forty-five, with a mil
itary ?nr, black hair and whiskers, and dark com
plexion. That is E. ]). Potter, of the same State,
who was ballotted for Speaker, for some days, in
December, and who, if elected would have made
a capital officer. lie has been in Congress be
fore, and is generally esteemed. “A message
from the President of the United States!”As
now announced by the door-keeper, and in a
moment you see advancing, hat in hand, a per
son of about forty, middling size, with a bald
head, finely chiselled face, expanded brow, and
subdued manner. This is Col. Bliss, private
Secretary of the President. He makes his bow,
mutters in a low voice the object of his mission,
and then vanishes among the Whig members on
the left. The documents are received at the
clerk's desk, and the House goes on with its
current business. But this will answer for to
day.
GLANCES AT CONGRESS—NO. 4.
■William M. Gwin, one of the new Senators
from California, has a national reputation for ex
perience and sagacity as a politician. This is he,
in conversation with Mr. Cobb; for the House
will not be called to order for half an hour. He
is 3 man a shade beyond fifty; with a large ath
letic frame; iron-grey hair; a prominent nose .
and a keen, resolute, yet benevolent expression
of countenance. Gwin is an enthusiast in his
likes, and Dr. Johnson would have called him
“a good hater.” His life has been most eventful,
and his career in California has been a scene of
trial and triumph from the first. The slender
young man now approaching him is his col
league, Col. Fremont. He looks badly, and
should seek repose and restoration at once.—
(piict and taciturn, you would hardly take him
for the adventurous pioneer whose labors have
attracted so much attention all over the world.
Fremont has one rare and valuable merit, espe
cially in a public man. He is a good listener
and knows how to keep his own counsel. The
person now approaching the group with a broad
rimmed California hat on his head, is Mr. Gil
bert, one of the two members of Congress from
our golden sister of the Pacific. He is the
principal owner and editor of the leading news
paper in California, the “Alta Californian,” and
only a few years ago was a journeyman compos
itor in the office of the Albany Argus. He is said
to be quite rich at present, lie is not more than
thirty, has a fresh and pleasant countenance and
is a kind-hearted and unobtrusive gentleman.
Why, here is the remaining member of the Cali
fornia delegation, Mr. Wright. There i* a char
acter in that face. You see there, the energetic
business man. He has emassed great wealth in a
short time, in California, and will no doubt be a
useful member of the National Legislature.—
Look at those four men closely, and you will
sec the types of those national characteristics
which have made our people superior in the
art of sell-government, and our country pros
perous and happy. Gwin personifies the sa
gacious and intrepid statesman who foresees the
success of an untried policy, and boldly stakes
his all upon the issue. Fremont, that love of
the dangerous and the doubtful, which in order
to secure the triumph of science, coolly risks
health and life in the attainment of objects for
which posterity will bless him. Gilbert, the
youth of our age and time, which, looking for
ward and never backward, pursues the path of
fame and wins the prize: Wright, the intelli
gence and energy of those vast business inter
ests which found cities, build railroads, erect
steamships and open new paths of trade. A
few years ago all these men were pursuing their
avocations in other regions; but destiny lias, in
the course of its resistless operations, placed in
their hands the interests of that Minerva of
States, which springing into being in a day is des
tined probably to change the fortunes of nations
themselves, and to extend the theatre of Pro
gressive Christianity and-Civilization.
It is not an uncommon thing to see two broth
ers in the same Congress ; and you know that
Gen. Dodge, the veteran Senator from Wisconsin
is seated almost at the side of his own son the
Senator from lowa. The two Ingersc s Charles
Jared and Joseph R.. (not in the present Cor
gress,) brothers as they were, scarcely ever acted
together. Frederick P. Stanton, the young man
with light hair and complexion, and dressed with
unusual good taste, is the Chairman of the Com
mitteeon Naval Affairs, and by all oddsoneofthe
strongest men in Congress. His speeches are
models of argument and eloquence. He repre
sents the Memphis District in Tennessee. His
brother is the gentleman with black hair and
spectacles, now walking along the arena in front
of the Speaker’s chair. Richard H. Stanton is
one of the Kentucky representatives, and, as he
said in his speech a few days ago, lias worked
himself from the ranks of toil into his present
position. Gov. A. G. Brown, of Mississippi,
whom you cannot fail to regard as one of the
finest looking men on the floor, is the member
with jetty black hair and whiskers —an eye that
sparkles with good feeling, and a countenance
full of generous expression. He was Governor
of Mississippi at the age of 24, and defeated his
own father, who was a Whig, in one of the con
tests for representative. It would really be
cjuite interesting if all these social incidents, so
rarely seen in the strife of politics, could be de
tailed at length.
The correspondents of the different papers
throughout the Union, many of whom are now
before us, are, much as they are abused by dis
appointed partizans, a most powerful and intel
lectual body of men. Let us point out a few of
the more prominent of these writers. The well
dressed and rather stout gentleman, directly be
low us, with cane in hand, whose countenance
is full of vivacity and thought, is the “Observer,”
of the Ledger, the “X” of the Baltimore Sun,
and the contributor of many other journals and
magazines. lie is a prize for any paper. lie
combines qualities rarely found in correspond
ents any where. Rapidity of thought, great in
dustry, great powers for the endurance of fa
tigue, and a mind stored with learning. lie talks
three or four different languages elegantly and
is intimately acquainted with domestic and for
eign politics, and with nearly all the public men
of this country and many of the statesmen of
other countries. The next is Mr. Harvey, the
“Independent” of the North American, and
“Veritas” of the New York Courier, a very able
correspondent, but a most unscrupulous Whig.
He it is with light hair and rather florid com
plexion, a tall genteel figure, always dressed in
perfect good taste. He did not show much dis
cretion, however, in getting himself laughed at
for trying to prove that Belize, in British Hon
duras, did not and does not belong to England.
Os course you know Wallace, or the “Doctor”
of the New York Herald, with his spectacles, jol
ly lace and dandified air and dress—a capital
hand in his profession, and one of the most suc
cessful in taking notes without seeming to do
so. There, too, is “Richelieu,” or W. E. Robin
son, late of the New York Tribune, but now
lighting on his own hook in the Newark (N. J.)
Mercury—an Irish face, with bushy hair, light
complexion, and a gay agreeablo air. He is a
writer who has lew equals, and has a great ad
miration for Greely.
Among the editors who occasionally write for
their presses here, are W. F. Ritchie, Esq., of the
Richmond Enquirer, Col. Schouler of the Bos
ton Atlas, and Greeley ofthe Tribune. Ritchie is
the well developed young mar.—not much over
thirty, with spectacles and dark hair—every
where regarded by the ladies as a good-looking
iittle fellow. Schouler is a wag of the first water,
and tells stories as well as anybody at the Capi- ;
tol. He, too, is quite a young man, and a most j
sanguinary Whig. Greeley has been so often de- j
scribed, and is in fact so indescribable, that we
leave him to some future Hogarth or Cruik- j
shanks. Telling of these representatives of the |
press at Washington, however, reminds us that j
we should speak of the conduct and contribu- \
tors of the respective papers at the seat of gov- I
eminent; which, with glances at other mem
bers and notables, will form the subject of one
or more numbers.
A hog driver from Ohio, having disposed of
his swine in one ofthe eastern cities, strayed in- j
to a theatre where the play of King John was
being enacted. He watched the play with a
good deal of attention, though didn’t “exactly un
derstand the natur ofthe enttur,” as he express
ed it. But the scene where Hubert and young
Arthur enters, completely absorbed him. Arthur
asks:
“Is there no remedy!”
and Hubert answers,
“ None, but to lose your eyes ?”
The Buckeye was on his feet in a second. “I
say, yeou with the red-ot ir'n ! Es yeou butjist
tech a hair of that ar’ boys head, I’ll knock you
into linked passengers 1”
The boys in the pit hooted, the boxes roared,
and the Buckeye dropped into his seat like a big
dumpling. He said he “didn't mean to inter
fere, but iie’d be darn'd es he wanted to see the
boy'g eyes druv out!”
A Water-i>koof Wife. —A clergyman, who,
reading to his congregation a chapter in Gene
sis, found the last sentence on the page to be—
“And the Lord gave unto Adam a wife.” Turn
ing over two leaves together, he found wri’.vi’
and read in an audible voica—“ and she was
pitched without and within !” He had unhappi
ly got into the middle ol’a description of Noah’s
Ark.— Sunday Xews.
A Libel. —Jean Paul, that wicked satirist of
woman-kind, thus closes a paragraph:—“Even
in church tlie women sing an octave higher
than the men, in order not to agree with them
j in anything.”
Newspaper Advertising.
The following extracts from the Pottsville
Miners’ Journal, forcibly sustain our arguments,
and point, very conclusively, the utility of news
paper advertising:
“A newspaper, so called, is a sort of guide or
finger-board upon the highway of thought and
business whereby the traveller sees his way.—
Thus, we form opinions of a man from descrip
tions in the paper—we observe that man’s
movements—know all about him— but yet never
saw him! So of places. We read and are fa
miliar with Baltimore papers, and though we
never were in that city, we learn to understand
its character and features. We are moved by
ideas pretty much as a locomotive is moved by
steam, anti that too, upon the high-pressure
principle. These ideas convey public seuti
ment —the public press being the motive-power!
This requires fuel. Thus, a hotel-keeper of
Philadelphia advertises simply that he keeps a
hotel. Now what know we of that hotel ? If,
however, he were to state that the house is
large—contains 200 rooms, including elegant
pariars, &.c.—that the charges are $2 per day—
location in Chesnut street, convenient to this or
that public place, &c.—why, our opinions are at
once formed ! We could at least resolve wheth
er the hotel was calculated to answer our pur
pose or not. The same applies to the merchants,
traders? and artizans. If they advertise their
goods and wares, and the locations of their
stands, we become familiar with their business
and names, and are enabled to form opinions.—
A trader in the country may need, for example,
a lot of ink-stands of a peculiar kind. Some
day, when reading the paper, he will see these
very ink-stands advertised. lie will at once
make a memorandum of the name, number and
location, and when he’goes to the city to make
purchases, instead of running about to enquire
where those ink-stands may he obtained, he will
go direct to the advertised place. The most studi
ous readers, when they go to Philadelphia or
elsewhere to make the usual purchase, seldom
read newspapers —because they have their plans
matured, and their minds absorbed in their im
mediate business. To despatch this as soon as
possible, and to the best advantage, they devote
themselves to that exclusively. After their busi
ness is despatched, they may see recreation fora
day or two in the amusements and curiosities of
the city—but it is a well known fact that they pay
little attention to the newspapers during such
visits.
“But the great philosophy of advertising con
sists in the fame which it gives to persons and
places. To illustrate this, the patent medicines
of the day afford a striking example. It matters
little what the article may be; give it fame—
backed with popular opinion and it must go dowji
—upon the same principle that pills go down !
The proprietors of these medicines set to work
—manufactured them in hogsheads and btvsftelb
—spent from five to fifty thousand dollars
per annum in advertising alone, and in a few
years we see them the richest men of the day!
“Now, we contend that this is not alono the
result ol the peculiar virtues of the medicines,
but that it is owing to the enlarged system of
advertising. Fame is the great secret—this the
newspaper is alone capable of giving. And
when the popular opinion is thus obtained, it is
the business of the advertiser to use the current
as he pleases. That is not for the press. Many
persons will tell us proudly that the reputation of
their houses is so well established that they have
no need of advertising. Now what is this rep
utation but a species advertising,and how much
more costly ! The merchant will soil to his first
customer a bill of goods of, say SIOOO, and will
forego his profits of $l5O to secure a reputa
tion for his house, under the impression that the
purchaser will recommend his friends to the
house, and they, in turn, their friends. This is
not always the case, because when there is great
competition (and when is there not ?) dealers
who purchase cheaply are not in the habit of
imparting the information to their rivals. But
if this course in time should procure a run of
custom—it cannot be relied upon amid the
fluctuations of the markets, commerce, and the
great rivalry in business. It is the great stum
bling block over which the old and established
houses are constantly falling, and the rewards of
years of toil, and business are suddenly blasted.
To continue to succeed in the present go-head
age, they must advertise to keep pace with the
times and their rivals; must advertise in order
to receive new customers, for it is a well estab
lished fact that there is no business so preca
rious as the mercantile; competent judges hav
ing given it as their opinion that three-fourths of
the firms engaged in traffic are changed every
ten years, and not more than five out of every
hundred survive twenty years.
“Suppose you invest .SIOOO annually in ad
vertising. This sum would insure you a card of
one square, in 200 newspapers —each news
paper having 1000 circulation —making a to
tal of 20,000. Os this number perhaps three
would be found every week for eacli
paper—making 60,000 readers.
“Now, is it not probable, first that you will im
mediately find customers, more or less, out of
this number of readers—and is it not certain that
your name and business will become well
known in every quarter? If so, you can obtain
a reputation that could not be had by any other
means for ticice the amount of money, in
twenty years.
“Discrimination should be used in advertising.
There would be little expediency, for instance,
in advertising in a Lancaster city paper, to se
cure customers from Pottsville. In like man
ner it is almost useless to advertise in the pa
pers of the city for the country trade; for al
though they have more or less circulation, they
are calculated for an entirely different class of
readers, and a different locality. Their whole
appearance differs from the local paper. It is
seldom, therefore, that an advertisement in a
city journal produces much effect in the country.
If the quack doctors were to advertise only in
these papers, it is easy to presume that their
profits would fall short! The-local newspapers
contain the weekly gossip and news of the
county, the marriages and deaths, the political
movements, legal notices and sheriff’s sales,
real estate sales, estrays, stolen properties and
rewards, proceedings of courts, &c., &c., in
which every reader is either directly or indi
rectly interested.
“The plan of using cards and handbills is very
inferior in comparison with newspaper adver
tising. They soon get mutilated and destroyed,
and do not excite the same attention and re
spect that they would in a newspaper. The
difference may be made apparent when we Say
that the latter invariably reach the family circle ,
while the former cannot. And thus the news
paper frequently suggests wants and desires,
that at the same time refers to the places where
they may be supplied.
“We could enumerate pages of instances of
the advantages of advertising, but will only in
stance one which occurred a short time ago.—
A person in Philadelphia, engaged in the
manufacture of bonnets, caused an advertise
ment to be inserted in the Journal for three
months, for which he paid $3. We were in
formed shortly after that he had secured four
new customers from this vicinity to whom lie
sold SISOO worth of goods the first year, which
he attributed altogether to advertising.”
There is such an enormous amount of Legis
lative stupidity at the present time, that it is
really refreshing to meet with a specimen of as
good Legislative wit as the following:—“ A wag
in one of our Southern Legislatures, perceiving
a mosquito alight on a neighbor’s hand, imme
diately arose, and addressing the chair, request
ed that said mosquito have leave to withdraw
his bill”
A Way to Make Boys Sharp. —When Mr.
Pickwick complimented the intelligence of Mr.
Tony Weller’s son Sam, the proud father re
plied with an air of great satisfaction: “Werry
glad to hear of it, sir—l took a great deal o’ pains
in his eddication, sir; let him run the streets
when he was very young, and shift for hisself.
It’s the only way to make a lad sharp, sir.”—
There are a great many who adopt Mr. Weller’s
plan of “eddication,”
“ Have you ever broke a horse!” inquired a
horse jockey. “No, not ’zactly,” replied Simon ;
“but I've broke three or four w agons.”

PROSPECTUS
OF
“THE SOUTHERN PRESS.”
AN association of sixty-three members of Congress,
Senators and Representatives, have constituted the
undersigned a Committee to superintend the establish
ment of a Southern Press at Washington city, to be de
voted tivlh-3 exposition and defence of Southern Rights
institutions—the dissemination of correct information as
to Northern Policy, and the course of Political Af
fairs generally, without reference to the old party lines of
Whig and Democrat. Arrangements are now in pro
gress, promptly to insure the issue of such a paper under
the title ol
“THE SOUTHERN PRESS”
for the conduct of which, suitable Editors have been en
gaged, who will also receive the aid of a number of em
inent and able contributors.
There will be both a tri-weekly and a weekly is
sue—the latter to contain substantially the same matter
as tlie former, and intended to reach those points of the
country whose mail facilities are limited,
A Daily issue will be added hereafter, should it be

Dr. deGRAFFENRIED'S (
CELEBRATED
RHEUMATIC LINIMENT.
In introducing this medicine to the people of the Unit
ed States,, for sale, the proprietors beg leave to submit
the following statement of Dr. de Graffenried, its discov
erer and inventor:
The undersigned frankly states that he has prescribed
this medicine lor the last twenty-two years, in all forms
ol Acute and Chronic Rheumatism, with a success un
paralleled in the annals of medicine ; and he has no hes
itation in saying,, that it is decidedly the most valuable
remedy ever yet discoveted lor the relief ol this most pain
ful and distressing malady.
His note-book contains upwards of three hundred ca
ses, in which it has been used within the above named
period,and in nosingle instance has it come to his knowl
edge, ot its having tailed to effect a cure when persereved
in. AJ any ot the eases were from four to ten years stand
ing ; and what may appear yet more remarkable and ex
traordinary, is, that when the patient has been once re
lieved, the dir ease is permanently cured, remains so, not
a solitary instance having been reported to him of its re
turn.
All he would ask for this remedy is a fair, impar
tial and patient trial, for the results he entertains no ap
prehension.
Up to the time ot this discover}', the undersigned had
well studied the origin, progress, and character of this dis
ease, and is well assured, had consulted every author on
its treatment, \Wio had written or been translated into
the English language, and laid used all the remedies of
any notoriety then in vogue with the profession, with
however, very rarely any relief to poor suffering hu
manity.
It has baffled the skill and science of the most eminent
Physicians and Surgeons of our own, and ol every other
country. Hut the undersigned Hatters himself that his
remedy will cure this most painful disease, when all oth
ers have failed, and that he shall have been an humble in
strument in the hands of God, of relieving the human
family of a vast amount ofsuffering.

Col. A. B. Ragan — Sir It affords me great pleasure
to be able to hear testimony to the efficacy and virtues
of l)r. de Graffenrieds Rhemnatim Liniment.
I have been sorely afflicted for the last six years with,
what I believed to be, and what eminent Physicians of
this city pronounced, Rheumatic gout,for several winters
past I have been confined to my room and bed nearly all
the time. In January last, I had an attack as violent if
not more so than usual, which prostrated me for about
three weeks; on your receommendation I commenced ’
the use of this Liniment. (With I must confess but little I
faith). Its effects were astonishing and decidedly bene- j
tieial from its first application. In a few days my back,
wrists ancles were entirely relieved (and so contin
ue) of all soreness, pains, and the swelling’s reduced,
vvith the use of less than one bottle. 1 have been in the
discharge of my ordinary business ever since. * g
1 consider it an extraordinary, and decidedly the most !
efficacious remedy for this disease which I have ever met
with. And most cheerfully recommend its use to all
who may be afflicted with it.
Respectfully Yours, N. W. BRIDGES.

Dr. de Graffenried —Dear Sir : For the last twelve 1
years I have suffered very severely with the Rheumatism, i
having been nearly one fourth of the time confined to j
my bed by it. I have had the best medical aid to be ’•
found in various eitic3inthe United States, with little j
or no benefit. I have also tried innumerable strongly
recommended remedies, which have failed to effect a
cure. I spent the last summer at the White Sulphur and
Hot Springs iirVil'ginia, to little purpose. After my return
home, I so far recovered, as to be able to walk about a lit
tle. About six weeks since, I had a very severe attack
which again confined me to my bed, I was in great pain
and searely able to move my limbs, when a friend of
mine called and informed me that you had discovered
an infallible remedy , and had cured many, and amongst
them, one of my friends, and showed me a letter from
him stating the fact. I was induced to try your Rheu
matic Linameut, and take pleasure in infonninig you that
in less than twenty four hours from the first application
I was perfectly free from pain, and continue so, up to
this time. lam now able to attend to business, and
fondly hope all those afflicted, as I have been, may be as
speedily relieved, as I have been with your medeeine.—
Wishing you all the Blessings you deserve Dear Sir.

Dr. De Graffenried —Dear Sir: I take pleasure in giv
ing you the particulars of my affliction by, and relieffrom
Rheumatism. During the spring 0f1844 I was afflicted •
with a very severe attack of Inflammatory Rheumatism.
I employed all the most celebrated remedies then known
and used in similar cases,aided by medical advice,until
September, 1845, with no satisfactory result whatever.
I was then induced, by a rheumatic acquaintance, to try
your Liniment, as something new, and which had cured
him ; and in one month, from the time I commenced the
application, I was well, and clear of the Rheumatism as
1 ever was, and have continued so to this time.
Yours, truly, L. C. MORTON.
FROM COT,. K. K. AYER.
Dr.E. L. de Graffenried—Learning that you are about
to manufacture for the public, your valuable Rheumatic
Liniment, I take pleasure instating that I believe it
one of the most valuable remedies ever used for that
common and most distressing disease, having witnessed
its effects upon a negro man ot mine, who had been af
flicted for four years, until almost every joint was en
larged, and the body otherwise emaciated. By the use
of lour or five bottles, in three weeks he was relieved en
tirely from pain

Columbus, October 30,1849.
Dear Sir—About the first of April last, I came to Co
lumbus to get medical assistance, and was advised to
call on you, as having a rente ly that would afford me
speedy relief. I was taken down in January last, with
a violent attack of Rheumatism in nearly all my joints
so badly, that I could not pull of my shoes without aid ;
nor could I ascend or descend steps, or pull off my
clothes without assistance. My right arm and hand
were nearly useless ; the fingers contracted and swollen; j
the right knee swollen and stiffened, so that I could not
bend it but very little. Up to the Ist of April, I was all |
the time in suffering and pain ; I rubbed with your Rhcu- j
matic Liniment my limbs three times, and was the next ‘
morning enabled to descend a long fight of steps, with- j
out aid of crutch or stick, and hack to my room—l could
also bend my knee and bring it up to the chair, which j
the previous day, I could not have done if my life had do- j
pended on it. I could also use, open and bend my ting- j
ers, wich was an imbossibility the day before. I rose in :
the morning from my bed entirely relieved of pain. I
used one bottle arid an eight ounce vial of your Rheu- i
matic Liniment, and in ten days, 1 was relieved. I
would not have been in the condition which 1 had been, j
ten days before I called on you, for any amout of money
which could be given me ; for what is life worth when j
in constant pain and misery ! I consider your Rheumat- ‘
ic Liniment, the most valuable medicine in the world. I
am, dear sir, your friend.

Columbus, Nov. 1, 1349.
Dear Sir—My negro woman Patience, a cook, had a
stilffneck from a painful Rheumatic affection, for six or
seven years, and could not turn her neck except with the
body. I was induced to purchase a bottle ot your Lin
iment, which was applied in August or September of
1818. One bottle entirely relieved her and she now has
the use of her neck as well as ever she had ; and up to
this time, it has not returned.

Dr. de Graflenried —Dear Sir: Having been afflicted,
for some time past,’with a severe attack of Rheumatism,
and having heard of the wonderful effects of your Rheu
matic Liniment, I was induced to try a bottle of it; and
after three days, I was so much relieved as to be able to
leave the house and attend to business. I have perfect
ly recovered from the disease, and would cheerfully re
commend the Liniment to all those who are afflicted,
GEORGE HOOD, 27 Powell street.
Columbus Ga., Oct. 13,1849.
Dr. E. L de Graflenried —Dear Sir: Agreeable to
your request, I give my testimonial as to the virtue of
your Liniment in the cure of Rheumatism. Being at
tacked in one joint of my finger, last winter, with acute
Rheumatism, and haying used many of the unnumbered
prescriptions/or it* cure, with but little benefit, I made
application of two bottles of your Liniment, which I am
happy to say relieved me in a very short time. I can re
commend its use to all persons affected in like manner.
Very respectfully, F. S CHAPMAN.
I can testify to the eflicaev of Dr. de Graflenried’s
Rheumatic Liniment in the case of Mr. F. S. Chapman,
as it came under my immediate observation.
October 13,1849. R. A. WARE, M. D.
Dear Sir—Some time in Jauary last, Mrs. McKee
was taken very ill with Inflammatory Rheumatism in her
shoulder joints, extending to her elbow joint and
arm, which disabled her from using her arm almost en
tirely ; and from the pain, want of sleep, and great rest
lessness, for not less than six weeks, I was induced by
my friend, Mr. Luke Reed, to cal', on vou for a bot
tle of your Liniment, and by using half the bottle, she,
was entirely relieved, and the relief was manifest or sen
sible after three or four rubbings. lam of opinion, it is
one of the most valuable remedies that has ever been dis
covered, for Rheumatism: that is, fr’Om my own knowl
edge, and that which 1 have heard from others.
Dr. E. L. de Graflenried. H. p. McKEE.
Columbus, Oct. 19th 1849
Dr. de Graflenried—Dear Sir : Itake pleasure in sav
ing, I have a boy who was so badly afflicted with Rheu
matism, that he could not raise his hand to his head, and
had nearly lost the use of his arm . I used the fourfh of
a bottle of your Rheumatic Liniment, which relieved
him entirely. I consider it a most valuable remedy for
the cure of Rheumatism.

Memphis, Tenn., March, 1850.
The Faculties, for intellectual abilities, moral worth
and professional acquirements, will compare favorably
with the most distinguished in our country. The medi
cal faculty constitutes an anomaly in this or any other
country—all of them are able lecturers and the best ol
teachers.
Those who contemplate our geographical position,
and the extent of our population, can have no doubt as
to the eligibility of our situation for an enterprise of the
kind. As to health, including all seasons of the year,
we deny other city has more.
A common error exists in the minds of many students
relative to the place of studying medicines ; those who
intend practicing among the diseases of the West and
South should certainly educate themselves at a school
whose Faculty are particularly acquainted with those
diseases.
That the public may be satisfied of the permanency of
this school, we feel it our duty to state, that the Trus
tees and Faculty form a unit in action, which augurs
well for its future success ; and that the peculiar internal
organization which connects them, cannot be interrupted.
