[From the Pennsylvanian.] 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.” Planters, Take Notice.

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.

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. - • Jones, Hotel. Baltimore March, 30 1850. 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. Your Groateliil and Ob’t Serv't GEO. WARDSWORTH. Columbus Ga., Oct. 20, 1819 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 Ga.,- — Oct. 24,1349. A. K. AYER. 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. J. H. SMITH. 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. GARLAND B. TERRY. Philadelphia , Feb. 1 1850. 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. RANDOLPH L. MOTT. Memphis Institute.

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.
