[From tho New York Observer.] HIE HOMES AND BURIAL PLACES OF DISTINGUISHED MEN. NO. V. Ignatisis Loyola. The 31st of J uly is one of the most interest ing of the numerous festal days of Rome. It is the day set apart in honor of St. Ignatius,! the canonized founder of the order of Jesuits. On that occasion, a solemn serv ice is perform ed in the church of the (lesu where he is buried; and then, the only time during the year, the rooms in the adjoining Casa Profes sa, or house of the proses.-ed, formerly occu pied by the saint, are open to the public. \V e were so fortunate as to be in Rome on the return of this day last year, and, thongh with some difficulty, as there were ladies in . our party, obtained admittance to the apart ments so sacredly kept. At Paris, we visited that chapel of St. Denys in which knelt Loyola and Xavier, and Lay uez, with three equally enthusiastic, but less distinguished companions, and over the sacra ment pronounced the vow which hound them to the establishment of anew order, whose work should be the arrest of the Protestant heresy and the extension of the Catholic faith. From this point our thoughts had followed Loyola through imprisonment and pilgrimages, days ot toil and nights of self-inflicted torture, and tancied communion with the spiritual world ; and we were glad once more to come in con tact with the localities he frequented. In Kome he found the only homo lie ever seems to have known. Here he passed the last twen ty years of his life, previous to which he had been a mere wanderer. This home was in the Casa Professa, a convent assigned as a permanent residence for the generals of his , order. Passing through the adjoining church and one or two ante-rooms, w e entered a long cor- j ridorand ascended a flight of stairs to a second j ball. All the floors were strewn w ith green i branches of the garden box. Groups of priests | were passing to and fro, and all knelt as they i entered the first of the rooms once occupied bv Loyola. This was a small apartment, in which was an altar decorated with flowers.— On one side was a case containing a wax model of the saint’s head, colored to resemble j life. This is claimed to be a true likeness, ‘ and the face is certainly expressive of his , character, ft blends the qualities of the reli- 1 gions enthusiast, and the patient, shrewd, on- j ergetio practical m in. It seems like the face i of one, whose purposes were never base, 1 whose zeal was never weary, and whose re sources were never exhausted. The com- i pressed lips, deep-set eyes, and lofty forehead give it an air of decision and command, while the lines of thought and care with which it is written over, are such as might he left on the face of one who made his influence felt in the remotest corners of the earth. Passing on into a narrow and still smaller room, the visitor is shown a cast taken after death. In this the features are like the other, but so thin and long and severe in their aspect that quite a different impression is produced. T hey express the cold, hard character of the anchorite, rather than a nature in which it was hard to extinguish sympathy. Here also are preserved the clothes last worn by Loyola, and some of his letters, as also their replies Horn Francis Xavier, one of his earliest aud most distinguished followers. A third apartment was the scene of those I flagellations and bodily tortures which he dai- j ly inflicted upon himself to subdueliis passions j fortify his soul, and win the beatific visions which he has described as the reward oi’his toil. From these rooms, small and hare though j they now seem, once went forth an influence j more powerful than that of the Vatican or j any court of Europe. It was felt wherever j the Jesuit yiissionary wandered, in Abyssinia, ! India, Japan and Paraguay. Here Loyola ‘ conducted “a correspondence more extensive ; and important than any which issued from the cabinets of Paris or Madrid.” Here he settled the rules of his order. Here, after j three years spent in vain entreaties, his plans j at last obtained the reluctant approbation of j the Pope. Here he died, and from tiie pov- ! orty lie had here studied in life, he was borne ! down to a magnificent tomb in the church below'. Retracing our steps we sought his burial j place. On entering the church our eyes were dazzled by the blaze of a thousand candles.— j ft was yet early in the afternoon, but the ! gleams of sunlight which here and there fell on the wall, were paled by the artificial bright- \ ness, w hich at the same time heightened the effect of the gorgeous decorations of the j building. The altars shone with the richest ; marbles, and where one could catch the color- j mg, the walls were seen to be hung w ith j paintings. There were the “death of Xavi-! er,” and some pictured scenes in the life ofi Loyola. But conspicuous above all other points w as that part of the church in which the saint is buried. His tomb is under an altar said to be the richest in the world. It is overlaid with j verde-antique and lapis lazuli, and precious j stones, and above it rises the silver statue of j Ignatius, also adorned w ith gems Underneath j it is the tomb of gilded bronze, within which ! rests his body on a shroud glittering with jewels. One cannot fail to contrast the w aft- i cd wealth of this burial place, with the volun- : tarv poverty endured and inculcated by its j tenant. Near the altar is a marble group which ‘ shocks the Protestant, from its attempt to rep- j resent the Trinity. The Eternal Father is ; there holding a globe of lapis lazuli, said to be | the largest piece in existence, and as this friv- ! clous offering is pointed out, men scent to for- ! get the rash attempt to give form to that Be- ; ing “whom no man has seen.” This festival of St. Ignatius gave us some’ of the finest music we heard at Rome. Four choirs occupied as many distinct galleries, and as the voices of one died away, another, and the third, until finally all broke forth in one jubilant chorus. All the generals of the order of Jesus are buried in the church of the Gesu. There sleeps he learned and gifted Lavnez; the gentlet Francis Borgia, known so long as Father Francis, and whose pure character gives a little show of humanity to his fami/Y name ; the wise Acquifana ; a long line of less scru pulous and more worldly men, and last, poor Father Ricci, who was general of the order when suppressed by Clement XIV. in 1773, and whose last years were spent as a prisoner in the castle of St. Angelo. I pon their restoration by Pius VII. in 1814, the Casa Professa was restored ro the Jesuits, and like the church of the Gesu, is still in their hands. M. E. F. Wouldn’t you call a man a fool who should spend all Lis time in fishing up oysters, with the expectation of finding a pearl ? But is he really more unwise tnan hundreds, who. with their hands in their pockets,and cigars in their mouths, are waiting for something to turn up, or turn over, that will throw them at once into business and fortune. They may wait till doomsday, and longer, if possible, before their fond expectation * ill l,i realized. EXCELLENT ADVICE. TO WIVES. The first inquiry of a woman alter mar riage should be, “llow shall 1 continue the j love I have inspired? How shall I preserve i (he heart I have won ?” 1. Endeavor to make your husband’s liabi- ; i tation alluring and delightful to him. Let it’ j be to him a sanctuary to which his heart may \ always turn from the calamities of life. Make it a repose from his cares, a shelter from the j world, a home not for his person only, but for his heart. He may meet with pleasures in other houses, but let him find pleasures in his j own. Should he he dejected, soothe him;) | should he be silent and thoughtful do not heedlessly disturb him; should he he studi- j ous, favor him with all practicable facilities; | ! or should be be peevish make allowances for ; ’ human nature, and by your sweetness, gentle ness and good humor, urge him constantly to j talk, though he may not say it, “this woman j is indeed a comfort to me —1 cannot but love ] her and requite such gentleness and affection as they deserve.” Do not run crazy when I you discover that your husband is a man, like i other men. Let the romance of your maiden love go for what it is worth, become a ration al woman, and study to li\e as happily with vour disrobed idol, as you can. Many wo men ruin themselves, aud all who love them, I Iby clinging to romance. Every girl invests her lover with a tissue of her own bright im- ; aginings, which makes him appear to her a! nondescript creature, of the human angelic, or ; demi-god specie. When she is married, and this giddiness begins to wear off by handlings, 1 and she perceives that her husband is a coin of; the same stamp as her father, uncles, and oth er excellent friends and relatives, she stands ! aghast. I \ It you discover faults in your husband, be assured that you will find similar, or even ; greater faults, in any and every man living; i ! cling to your husband, love him for what lie j | really is, bear w ith his faults, and be thankful that they are no worse. If your husband give you a short, or peev : idi word, do not go and break your heart with i J surmises that he no longer loves you, and all I such nonsense. Consider this is a fault of; poor human nature. Does not every mother ; love her children ? Yet how often does she t j scold them, and berate them soundly. Do j | you not love your sisters and brothers, and j j have you not often faulted them, and called j j them hard names ? So your husband loves ■ ■ you dearly, notwithstanding he has spoken to j j you harshly and h'astily. So do not pout and j ; put on “the injured look ;” consider how that | it would do in the child whom you had rated; j i but meet him with a cheerful smile ; and if he | has wronged you, be sure he will repent it; i or if you really were in fault, he will forgive ! you, for the sake of your love and meekness, j 2. Invariably adorn yourself with delicacy and modesty. These, to a man of refinement, are attractions the most highly captivating, while their opposite never fail to inspire disgust, j Let the delicacy and modesty of the bride be always, in a great degree supported by the wife. 3. If it he possible; let your husband sup pose you think him a good husband, and it will be a strong stimulus to Lis being so. As long as he thinks lie possesses the reputation lie will take some pains to deserve it; but when he has once lost the name, he will be : apt to abandon the reality. 4. Cultivate and exhibit with (lie greatest ’ care and constancy, cheerfulness and good | humor. They give beauty to the finest face, ! and impart charms where charms are not.— j On the contrary, a gloomy, dissatisfied man- j ! tier, is chilling and repulsive to his feelings ; ! he will be very apt to seek elsewhere for those j smiles and that cheerfulness which he finds | not at his own lionse. 5. In the article of dross, study your bus- i band’s taste. The opinion of others oti this j subject is of but very little consequence if he approve. ti. Particularly shun what the world calls, 1 in ridicule, “curtain lectures.” When you shut your door at night, endeavor to shut out j at the same moment all discord and conten- j : tion, and look on your chamber as a retreat j from the vexations of the world, a shelter sa- ! cred to peace and affection. How indecorous, offensive and sinful it is j for a woman to exercise authority over her ; husband, and to say “I will have it so.” “It j shall be as I like.” But, I trust that the num- j her of those who adopt this unbecoming and I 1 disgraceful manner, is so small as to render j it unnecessary for me to enlarge on the sub- j i j ect - ‘ i ! 7. Be careful never to join in a jest and j laugh against your husband. Conceal his , faults and speak only of his merits. Shun | I every approach of extravagance especially if . you are not more.than well off. The want i of economy has involved millions in misery. S Be neat, tidy, orderly, methodical. Rise early, j breakfast early, and have a place for every- j thing, and everything in its place. 8. Few things please a man more than see- j i ing his wife notable and clever in the man- : j agement of her household - . A knowledge of j 1 cookery, as well as every other branch in j 1 housekeeping, is indispensible in a female, and J a wife should always endeavor to support i | with applause the character of the lady and I the house-wife.— Extract from various au thors. to husbands; e would say,—read the above over again and consider its advice as particularly appli cable to you, and you only. Substitute the j j appropriate name for the male (or husband) j | in the place of the one now used for the female ! and the great value and exquisite beauty of the whole article may not only be readily i seen, but perhaps have its due weight and ! proper influence upon the husband —as it should—equally with the wife. TO BOTH. W e say, resolve to follow the advice herein j given, and therefore cut the article out forth with, placing it in your album or other secure and oft frequented place, and re-peruse it eve ry Sabbath during the honey-moon, and at least three or four times a year ever after. To all, whether husbands or wives, who will con ! scientiously follow this last advice, and espe- ( I cially re-peruse the article as directed, we | will insure a happy married life, or forfeit as j many ten thousands of dollars as the faithful j i one will show years of .obedience. The miseries of Ireland. A celebrated German traveller, after visit- I ing Ireland, thus records his impression of j that oppressed and ill-used people:—“My , mind is filled with one thought, I can enter tain no other, it is that of the inexpressible ! wretchedness of so many thousands. In En gland I certainly saw a vast amount of misery, caused by the tyranny of the aristocracy ; but in Ireland no words can express the frightful truth which every where meets the eye. To ! form an idea of it you must see these houses —not houses, but huts—not huts, but hovels, mostly without windows or apertures; the 1 same entrance, the same narrow 7 space for j j men and hogs—the latter lively, sleek, and well fed ; the former covered with rags in a manner which it is impossible to conceive. If I except the well-to-do people in the towns, I did not see upon thousands of Irish a whole coat, a whole shirt, a whole cloak ; but all in tatters, and tatters such as is nowhere else to be seen. The ruins of ancient castles were j pointed out to me; but how could I take any 1 pleasure in them w hile the desolate, sad huts, ’ surrounded me, and testified the distress ol j the present times more loudly than the others did the grandeur of the past ? But then the lords were of the same race, of the same lan guage ; they w r ere on the spot, and the peo ; pie certainly not so wretched as since the j confiscations of the English conquerors. Oth- j ; er huts were half fallen down ; but the occu- j pants crept into the remaining half, which J was not larger than a coffin for the wretched ! ! family. When I recollect the well-fed rogues and thieves in the English prisons, I admire the power of morality amongst the Irish peo ple: fori really wonder that the whole nation does not go over and steal, in order to enjoy j anew and happier existence. And then the English boast of the good treatment of their countrymen, while the innocent Irish are ob liged to live worse than their cattle. In par liament they talk, for years together, whether it is necessary and becoming to leave vast rev enues in the hands of Protestant clergymen, while there are thousands of poor wretches who scarcely know’ they have a soul, and know nothing of their body, except that it suf fers hunger, thirst and cold. Which of these ages is the dark and barbarous? the former, when medicant monks distributed their goods to the poor, and in their own way gave them j the most rational comfort, or the latter, w’hen ! ; rich (or bankrupt) aristocrats can see the weal j of the church and of religion (or of their re- j lations) only in retaining possession of that j | which w T as taken and obtained by violence ? i AH the blame is thrown on agitators, and dis ! content produced by artificial means. What absurdity! Every falling but causes agitation and every tattered pair of breeches a sans-cu lolle. Since I have seen Ireland I admire the patience and moderation of the people, that I they do not (what would be more excusable : in them than in distinguished revolutionists, : authors, journalists, Benthamites, baptised and ! unbaptised Jew’s) drive out the devil through j j Beelzebub, and the prince of the devils. I en- | j deavored to discover the original race of the | ancient Irish, and the beauty of the women. But how could I venture to give an opinion ? ! Take the loveliest of the English maidens 1 from the Duke of Devonshire or the Marquis : of Lansdowne; carry her—not for life, but ; i for one short season—into an Irish hovel; I feed her on water and potatoes; clothe her in nigs ; expose her blooming cheek and ala | baster neck to the scorching beams of the sun, j and the drenching torrents of rain ; let her i wade with naked feet through marshy bogs; with her delicate hands pick up the dung that lies in the road, carefully stow’ it by the side of her mud resting place; give her a hog to share this with her; to all this add no eonsol : atory remembrance of the past, no cheering hope of the future—nothing but misery—a misery w hich blunts and stupifies the mind— a misery of the past, the present, and the fu ture ; —would the traveller, should this image of w’oe crawl from out of her muddy hovel, and imploringly extend her shrivelled hand, recognise the noble maiden whom, a few’ ; short weeks before, he admired as the model’ of English beauty? And yet the children, with their dark hair and black eyes, so gay and playful in their tatters—created in the im age of God—are, in a few years, by the fault of man, and the government, so worn out,; ; without advantage to themselves or others j i that the very beasts of the field might look | down on them w ith scorn. Ah! what a fright- j i ful amount of wrong-doing, despotism, heart- j ! lessness and misrule-lias the English govern- I I meat to answer for, in respect to poor Ire- I 1 land.” ‘ Sketch of Miraheau. BY MACAULAY. If oratory is to be judged of by the sub stantial powers it confers, we do not know where, in all history, a greater orator is to be found than Mirabeau. In him the manifesta tion Os a powerful mind, and of an indomita ble will, took the form of eloquence—so that it was not with him an art. His voice and figure were in keeping with his oratory— i stern and terrible. The control which Mira- j beau held over all factions and parties in the j | stormy period of his meteor-like career is at- j ; tested by facts which form the history of the j j time. The court awl the assembly, the j I throne and the clubs, were alike swayed by i i him. He ruled from the tribune. The ful minatious of the Olympic thunderer were I not more startling or overwhelming even in the descriptions of the poets, than were Mi rabeau’s resounding tones when he roused ; himself to the full mastery ofliis tempestuous ’ realm. Lamartine, in his history of the Gi : rondists, narrating the circumstances of Mi rabeau’s death, thus speaks of him: His eloquence, though popular in its style, j was that of a patrician. His democracy was | delivered from a lofty position, and comprised I none of the covetousness and hate which ex i cite the vilest passions of the human heart, 1 and which see in good done to the people noth- i ing but an insult to the nobility. His popular j sentiments were in some sort but the liberal- | itv of his genius. The vast expansiveness of ! i his mighty soul had no resemblance with the I paltry impulses of demagogues. In acquiring rights for the people he seemed as though he j bestowed them. He was a volunteer of de -1 moeracy. He recalled, by his port and his bearing, to those democrats behind him, that from the time of the Gracchi to his own, tri bunes who most served the people had sprung from the ranks of the patricians. His talents, j unequalled for philosophy of thought, for depth of reflection, loftiness of expression, was another kind of aristocracy, which could never be pardoned in him. Nature placed j him in the foremost rank ; and death only ! created a space around him for secondary minds. They all endeavored to acquire his posi tion, and all endeavored in vain. The tears they shed upon his coffin were hypocritical. The people only wept in sincerity, because the people w ere too strong to be jealous, and they, far from reproaching Mirabeau w ith his j birth, loved in him that nobility as though it I j were a spoil carried off from the aristocracy. ‘ , Moreover, the nation, disturbed at seeing its j institutions crumbling aw T ay one by one, and ; dreading a total destruction, felt instinctively that the genius of a great man w r as the last stronghold left to them. This genius quench- ‘ ed, it saw only darkness and precipices be fore the monarchy. Tiie Jacobins alone re joiced loudly, tor it was only he who could outweigh them. It was on the 6th of April, 1791, that the National assembly resumed its sittings. Mir . abeau’s place, left vacant, reminded each gaz er of the impossibility of again filling it; con sternation was impressed on every counten ance in the tribunes, and a profound silence pervaded the meeting. M. de Talleyrand an nounced to the assembly a posthumous address to Mirabeau. They would hear of him though dead. The weakened echo of his voice seemed to return to his country from ! the depths of the vaults of the Pantheon, i The reading was mournful. Parties w r ere j burning to measure their strength free from ; any counterpoise. Impatience and anxiety j were paramount, and the struggle was immi- j nent. The arbitrator who controlled them : was no more. * * * “Three and sixpence per gal ! ’ ex claimed Mrs. Partington, on looking over the Price Current. “Why, bless me, what is the world coming to, w’hen the gals tire val ued at only three and sixpence?” The old j lady pulled off her spectacles, threw down the paper, and W’ent into a brown study on , ! the want of a proper appreciation of the true value of the feminine gender.

In introducing this medicine to the people of the Unit- ! ed States,, for sale, the proprietors beg leave to submit j the following statement of Dr. de Granenried, its discov- ; erer and inventor: The undersigned frankly states that he has prescribed 1 this medicine for the last twenty-two years, in all lonns of 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 j remedy ever yet discovered for the relief of this most pain- i fill 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 no single instance has it come to his knowl edge, of its having tailed to effect a cure when perscreved in. Many of the cases were from fourto ten years stand -1 ing; and what may appear yet more remarkable and ex ; traordinary, is, that when the patient has been once re- j i lieved, the disease is permanently cured, remains so, not i i a solitary instance having been reported to him of its re- j i turn. All he would ask for this remedy is a fair, impar j tial and patient trial, for the results he entertains no ap- i ! prehension. Up to the time ot this discovery, the undersigned had ! well studied the origin, progress, and character ot this dis | ease, and is well assured, had consulted every author on ! its treatment, who had written or been translated into the English language, and had 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 of every other country. But the undersigned flatters 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 j strument in the hands of God, of relieving the human family of a vast amount of suffering. \ E.

In a few days my back, wrists ancles were entirely relieved (and so contin ue) of all soreness, pains, and the swelling’s reduced, with the use of less than one bottle. 1 have been in the discharge of my ordinary business ever since. I 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 Grafienricd- —Dear Sir; For the last twelve 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 cities in the United States, with little ior no benefit. I have also tried innumerable strongly recommended remedies, which have failed to effect a I , cure. 1 spent the last summer at the White Sulphur and ; i Hot Springs in Virginia, 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. 1 had a very severe attack : which again confined me to my bed, I was in great pain and scarely able to move my limbs, when a friend of j ! mine called and informed me that you had discovered : an infallible remedy, and had cured many, and amongst j them, one of my friends, and showed me a letter from him stating the fact. I was induced to try your Rheu matic Linament, and take pleasure in informinig you that in less than twenty four hours from the first application l 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 medecinc.— | i Wishing you all the Blessings you deserve Dear Sir.

WARDSWORTH. j Columbus Ga., Oct. 20,1819 j Dr. De Grafienricd—Dear Sir: I take pleasure in giv ing you the particulars of my affliction by, and relieffrom j Rheumatism. During the spring of 1844 I was afflicted ! with a very severe attack of Inflammatory Rheumatism. I employed all the most celebrated remedies then known i 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 ; I ever was, and have continued so to this time. Yours, truly, L. C. MORTON. FROM COL. A. K. AYER. Dr. E. I i.de Grafienricd—Learning that von are about ■ to manufacture for the public, your valuable Rheumatic j Liniment, I take pleasure in stating that 1 believe it : : one of the most valuable remedies ever used for that | common and mo t distressing disease, having witnessed ‘ j its effects upon a negro man of mine, who had been af- I i dieted for four years, until almost every joint was on- ; | larged, and the body otherwise emaciated. By the use ; ! of l< mr or five bottles, in three weeks lie was relieved cn- j ! tirelv from (lain Columbus Ga.. —Oct. 24. 1849. A. K. AYER. Columbus, October 30, 1849. ■ Dear Sir—About tlie first of April last, I came to Co j lunibus to get medical assistance, and was advised to I call on you. as having a remedy 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 oil’ my | clothes without assistance. iVly 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 llheu i matic Liniment my limns three times, and was the next morning enabled to descend a long fight of steps, with out aid of crutch or stick, and back to my room—l could also bend my knee and bring it up to tnc chair, which the previous day, I could not have done if my life had de pended on it. I could also use. open and bend my fing ers, wich was an imbossibility the day before. I rose in the morning from my bed entirely relieved of pain. I used one bottle and an eight ounce vial of your Rheu matic Liniment, and in ten days, I was relieved. I j would not have been in the condition which I had been, : 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- 1 ic Liniment, the most valuable medicine in the world. I am, dear sir, your friend. J. H. SMITH. Columbus, Nov. 1, 1849. Dear Sir—My negro woman Patience, a cook, had a i j stilffneck from a painful Rheumatic affection, for six or j seven years, and could not turn her neck except with the | body. I was induced to purchase a bottle or your Lin ! iment, which was applied in August or September of : ! 1848. One bottle entirely relieved her and she now has j 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 Graffenricd—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 Graffenried—Dear Sir; Agreeable to I your request, I give my testimonial as to the virtue of j your Liniment in the cure of Rheumatism. Being at ’ tacked in one joint ofmy finger, last winter, with acute Rheumatism, and haying used many of the unnumbered prescriptions for its 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 connjicnd its use to all persons affected in like manner. Very respectfully, F. S CHAPMAN, j I can testify to the efficacy of Dr. de Graffenried'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 tfom the pain, want offdeep, and great rest- i lessness, for not less than six weeks, I was iuduced by j my friend, Mr. Luke Reed, to call on you for a bot- ; tie 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, from my own knowl edge, and that which I have heard from others.’ Dr. E. L. de Graffenried. H. C. McKEE. Columbus, Oct. 19th 1849 Dr. de Graffenried—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 fourfhof a bottle of your Rheumatic Liniment, which relieved : him entirely. L consider it a most valuable rcmejly for , the cure of Rheumatism. RANDOLPH L MOTT Memphis Institute.

Memphis, Tenn., March, 1850. i The Faculties; for intellectual abilities, moral worth i 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 of 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 that any 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- I 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.
