[From the New York Era ]
THE KING.
The unfortunate Con ratlin, of the house of
Hohenstaufen; had terminated Ins course on
the scaffold, which tire hatred of his foes had
erected for him at Naples; a similar fate
awaited his friends and adherents, and nearly
all the survivors who possessed the means of
flight hastened to seek in the wilds of nature
—in inaccessible mountains or deep impene
trable forests—a refuge from the persecutions
of enmity and revenge.
Among those who thus fled from the hate
of their foes, there was perhaps none whose
fate excited a more lively interest than the
young Count Giuliano di Cotalteo, who
sought, amid the natural fastnesses of the ;
Abruzzi, a retreat from the rage of his pursu-!
ers. Os the same age with the hapless Coi -
radio, and allied to that unhappy prince by
ties of strictest friendship, he ceased not to
mourn his death, and to wait an opportunity
to avenge his fate ; and tlius became partic
ularly obnoxious to the ruling powers, who
set a. price on his head, and left no means un
tried of ensnaring his person within their
power. Hut Count Julian was brave, active
and intrepd ; protected by the almost impen
etrable nature of the region to which he had
retreated, he defied alike the power and inge
nuity of his persecutors, and evaded all their
endeavors to deprive him of liberty or life.
Here, amid the wildest and most savage
scenes, surrounded by companions whom the
same necessity had driven to seek the same
refuge, he exchanged the delights of the city
and the court for the seclusion and danger of
the outlaw’s life; while a deeper pang was
added to his sorrows in being forced from the
object of his attachment, the young and beau
tiful Bianca, his cousin, the only daughter of
his maternal uncle, the Marchese di I’igna
telli, who, having embraced the opposite par
tv, resided at Naples, guarded by the protec
tion, and favored with the friendship of the
dominant power.
No great interval had elapsed after the ex
pulsion of Count Julian, when the Marchese
was summoned, by the illness of a relation,
to visit Ortona, a town, the road to which lay
partly through the Abruzzi district, and tra
versed some of its most lonely and wildest
passes. The dangers of such an expedition
would under other circumstances have deter
red the Marchese from attempting the jour
ney ; but the iilness of his aged relative ad
mitted neither hesitation nor delay ; she had
forwarded an urgent entreaty that she might
again behold the Marchese and his daughter,
and then, and not before, her missive added,
should she be enabled to close her eyes in
peace.
No course remained but to undertake the
dreaded expedition, and the Marchese with
his daughter, set out, attended by a whole
cavalcade of attendants, servants, and above
all, by a numerous body of the retainers of
his house, fully armed and equipped, to re
pulse the attacks of the outlaws, should such
be made.
The journey proceeded prosperously
enough, till on the third evening from leaving
the capital they reached a defile of the most
fearful and suspicious character. Two vast
overhanging rocks joined erewhile together,
but rent in sunder by one of those convulsions
of which this region bears so many traces,
still approached each other at their upper
verge so closely as almost to shut out the
light of day, leaving a narrow, rough, and in
secure defile as the only pathway between
them, while their sides, hollowed out by va
rious fissures of the rock, and overgrown with
shrubs, afforded means of covert and ambush,
protected and concealed by which a small
l and of assailants might arrest the progress
of a mighty host. The Marchese was a sol
dier, an old experienced loader; he saw the
difficulty and danger of the pass, and feared
not for himself, but for the lovely and pre
cious treasure which he was about to place
in pjiil.
But there was no time for delay ; the lead
ing soldiers of the cavalcade had already en
tered the path, through which they were able
to advance only in single files. Those in
front had proeeded some distance in safety,
the whole train was now entangled in the rav
ine, when an attack, tierce and furious, and
directed from unseen assailants, was made at
once on the front, centre, and roar of the pro
cession. Arrows, spears, and darts, were
discharged; masses of stone loosened from
sides of the rock were hurled on the intru
ders; while the attacking party were hidden
in the clefts of the precipices, or so screened
by the trees and bushes, as to remain com
pletely obscured from view, and sheltered
from retaliation. Several of the party were
levelled to the earth; many of the horses
wounded and terrified by the discharge of
missiles; and an arrow piercing the noble
palfrey which bore the lady Bianca, the af
frighted animal plunged madly forward,
while its alarmed burden screamed wildly in
terror, and her agonized father urged his
courser onwards, vainly striving to catch the
rein, which she had dropped, and calling
wildly, “Bianca, oh, save my Bianca, my
beloved, my lost, my sacrificed child!”
Scarcely had that name reverberated among
the rude rocks and recesses of this savage
scene, than a louder cry re-echoed over the
noise and tumult of the fight. A voice noble
and commanding ordered a cessation of
arms, and the figure of a youthful warrior
was seen standing on a pinnacle of the preci
pice, and in gestures and tones of authority
bidding the tempest of the attack to cease.
It was —yes, it was—Count Giuliano, in the
garb of an outlaw, ordering his associates to
suspend their warfare, and spare the loved
one, whose name had reached his ear. Per
ceiving at the same time the danger to which
site was exposed from the fright of her woun
ded steed, he leaped from crag to crag, from
rock to rock, till he seized the rein, and stop
ped the startled animal.
Ere he could efteet this purpose she had
sunk in a state of insensibility on the crea
ture’s neck, and all the cares of the Count,
together with those of her attendants, were
required, ere she could be restored to con
sciousness.
“Bianca, my own love,” he cried, as at
length reviving, she slowly and wildly gazed
around; “awake, and fear not, no evil shall
befall thee or thiue while thy Giuliano is here
to protect thee.”
“But, oh!” she exclaimed, “in what a
guise do 1 behold thee ; an outlaw; thy oc
cupation violence or murder; thy compan
ions the outcasts of the world.”
“Nay, lady, ’tis no time for parley, else
could 1 reproach those friends of thine and of
thy sire, who have shed the blood of our no
blest Italian youth on the scaffold, or driven
them forth as wanderers on the earth. But
time is precious. You are journeying to
wards Ortona, and purpose resting to-night
atLanciano. Thus much our scouts had in
formed me; thy name alone was unknown,
or, believe me, no ill should have chanced to
thee or thine. The way is dreary and dan
gerous ; you are liable to attack from other
of our bands; allow me, therefore, to be for
z-erme distance your escort.”
.The request would have been declined by
the Marchese, who had now joined the youth
ful pair, but Giuliano urged its expediency,
nav, its necessity, with so much force and
clearness, that it was found impossible to re
fuse the offer.
For a brief, too brief a space, then, did he
journey side by side with the object ol his
love, and enjoy one of those delicious inter
j views, which those who love ever find too
short, however lengthened their duration, and
too few and far between, however frequent
their recurrence.
They had long passed beyond that part of
the country which Count Giuliano had de
scribed as dangerous, and the walls and tow
: ers of Ortona were seen in the distance,
when the Marchese, who had before vainly
i endeavored to give sundry hints, now urged
the Count to consult his own safety by with
drawing; and won by the courtesy and gal
lant bearing of his kinsman, expressed in
lively terms his gratitude for that protection
! and rescue from danger which he had affor
ded.
I ”1 trust, Signor Marchese,” said the Count,
1 “that all danger is now past, yet 1 can
| scarcely assure you that you are safe from
j attack. 1 can, however, furnish you with a
safeguard for your protection. Will my
’ sweet Bianca,” he said, “accept a talisman
which shall protect her against such evil!
Take this ring; it is the last gift of the un
happy Conradin, my regretted friend and
master. It is composed of emeralds and ru
bies, shaped as thou seest, in form of that re
gal crown which he wore, alas! for too brief
a space, and is surmounted by the holy cross ;
while beneath is placed a heart, the image of
your friendship !” And thus saying, he gent
ly took the forefinger of her right hand, and
placed on it the ring, the brightness and beau
ty of whose tints were only outshone by the
dazzling whiteness of the skin with which
j they were contrasted.
“If attacked,” he added, “by any of the
j bands who range these wild districts, you
j have only to show this ring, and you will be
secure from insult and injury. And, further,
if you wish aught of Giuliano, send me but
this rin<_ r , and the summons shall be instantly
obeyed.”
“ Grazic , tniltc grazic,” replied the Mar
chese, as he acknowledged the courtesy of
their protector: and the fair object of bis
j care, too much agitated to express her feel
ings by words, could only reply by the mute
but potent eloquence of tears to the passion
i ate adieu of Giuliano, as after placing the
gem oil her hand, he raised it gently and rev
erentially to his lips, and imprinted on it a
kiss of fervent, adoration.
The cavalcade passed on without further
molestation or impediment. The Marchese
arrived just in time to receive the last sighs
of his relative, and to hear her name his Bian
ca as her heir. After awaiting the obsequies
of bis friend, the Marchese set out on his re
turn, which was accomplished in perfect safe
ty, and with no repetition of such an accident
as had marked its outset.
M eanwhile the strange and singular adven
ture which had befallen him formed the ob
ject of general conversation and remark, and
all who constituted the escort of the Mar
chese were loud in their praise of the con
duct of Giuliano. The men could not but ad
mire the soldier-like skill and ability with
which he availed himself of the advantages
of his position for attacking the cavalcade,
as well as the gallantry and self-devotion
| with which, nimble as the chamois of those
| rocks, he had leaped from point to point to
i rescue his Bianca from danger; while the
waiting maids, who formed part of the pro
cession, were all admiration of his form and
face, and Bianca could hear on all sides noth
ing but his praise.
“Such eyes, Marchcsina,” said little Mar
garetta, the youngest and prettiest of her
train ; “such a look: fierce and terrible in
war and when frowning defiance to the men ;
but S9 sweet, so soft, so gentle, when he
looks at you, Signorina. Well, you are
formed for each other, and that’s the truth !”
On their return to Naples, the affair was
still more noised abroad, and at length reach
ed the ears of the Duca di , who, be
ing on terms of intimacy u ith the Marchese
and the Lady Bianca, sent a mission re
questing to be favored with a sight of the
ring, and a narration of the adventure of
which it was the subject. The Marchese re
quested his daughter to relax so far from her
t usual rule, (for she never-allowcd the ring to
j leave her finger,) as to favor a nobleman so
highly elevated in rank, and so favored with
the confidence of his sovereign, bv inspect
ing the jewel; and Bianca, in spite of a se
! cret foreboding, which urged her, in this one*
instance at least, to refuse compliance with
the wishes of a parent, allowed her father to I
transmit the ring to the Duke for his inspec
tion. Some days passed away without the
object being returned, and she could not but
! miss the gem on which she was daily, hourly,
accustomed to look; nay, she felt certain mis
givings as to the propriety of having allowed
it to leave her possession.
She had even determined to mention the
matter to her father, and to remonstrate on
the detention of her treasure, when one mor
ning she heard from the high windows of her
apartment a noise and tumult in the streets,
and was about to inquire the cause, when
Margaretta rushed in, her face in a glow of
rage, her bright eyes on fire with passion.
“O, Signorina !” she exclaimed ; “such a
calamity has happened. The Count Giuli
ano is taken captive, and led to prison.”
“Giuliano —captive—prison!” were the on
ly sounds re-echoed by the horror-stricken
girl.
“Yes, .If archestna, ’ti3 too true. I saw
him myself while hastening from mass, look
ing noble though a captive, and proud though
bound in chains, frowning the same defiance
!at the insults of the mob, as when he so !
i fiercely assaulted our procession in the Abruz
zi pass.”
“But how,” Bianca at length regained com
posure to inquire, “how has he been ensnar- ■
: ed!”
“In the usual way, Signorina ; a woman
is the cause. Ido believe our precious sex ,
: never will leave of!’ imitating their mother
Eve, and doing all the mischief they can,
while the world shall endure. Cruel, treach
; erous wretch. It I had her here, 1 would tear
her eyes out; and”—
But her attention was directed to her un- :
happy mistress, on whose mind the dreadful
; truth had dawned, and who guessed with that j
j fatal certainty which so often forebodes evil,
that she had been made the innocent means
of her cousin’s destruction. Too lase she per
ceived the imprudence of which she had been
I guilty, in allowing the ring to pass from her
! possession ; for she doubted not that it had
been obtained with a view to entrap and be
tray him. Her fatal forebodings were short- !
ly after confirmed, and a little inquiry suflic- j
ed to convince her, that her father and her- j
self had been made the unsuspecting instru- j
merits for ensnaring and capturing him, and
that the ring, sent with a pretended message |
from herself, had induced him to repair unat- f
tended to a spot where he was speedily over- I
powered, and brought a prisoner to the capi-!
tol. Together with this intelligence, she also
learned that his hours were numbered ; that
his trial, a mere mockery and form in those
days of cruelty and outrage, was fixed to take
place almost immediately, within the walls of
his dungeon, which he would quit only for the
scaffold.
What intelligence was this for one who
loved as Bianca loved, to find that herself and
her parent had been made the tools of a
| crooked and cruel State policy; had unsus-
I pectingly contributed to the destruction of a
relative; in short, that she had become the
murderess of that being on whom all her
hopes of happiness were fixed. The thought
was madness, and reason could scarce sup
port the very reflection.
Her despair was increased by considering
1 that the calamity was utterly hopeless, and
admitted of neither relief nor consolation.
To have attempted to soften the hearts of his
foes, a moment’s consideration convinced her
were an endeavor, which would have only
j embittered his fate, or increased the sufler
; ings he was destined to undergo.
One poor consolation alone remained, and
j this her woman’s heart, the shrine of native
j honor, and feeling, and truth, prompted her
jto seek. She could, she was aware, readily
procure means of access to his prison, and
j she determined to visit him there, to explain
the cruel and treacherous deceit which had
been practiced; to undeceive him as to the
cause which had led to his captivity and his
death; to avow her unalterable love; to
I breathe a prayer that Heaven would shortly
unite her to himself in another and a better
world, and, if it might be so, to obtain his
parting forgiveness!
At the hour of midnight did the young and
timid girl leave the bright and brilliant palaz
zo of her fathers, to seek the fearful gloom
and solitude of a prison. Her heart sank
within her as she entered the massive portal;
and as the grating key and rattling chain gave
her ingress into the abode of misery, she
i shuddered for the fate of one so tenderly be
! loved, so fatally sacrificed, who, she knew,
! would only go from prison to death, and leave
the darkness of his dungeon for the scaffold.
After threading innumerable dark and damp
passages, and t raversing what seemed a sub
: terranean city of despair, she was at length
j ushered into the wretched, deeply sunk dun
geon, to which was consigned the young and
! gallant and dearly loved Giuliano.
With trembling hands she took the proffer
i ed lamp ftom the attendant, and advancing to
! a heap of straw in a remote corner of the
i cell, she beheld the object of which she was
| in quest —the hapless prisoner, stretched in
I uneasy and unquiet sleep.
Slowly and cautiously she approached the
slumbering and ill-fated youth, shading the
lamp with her small hand, lest its light should
awaken the captive; and treading with the
lightness of a sylph, lest her footstep should
disturb his sleep.
As she bent over him, she shuddered as she
saw a deep gash extending across his fore
head, on which it was evident no surgical
care had been bestowed. The bloodunclean
sed was clotted over the brow, and the wound
itself gaped livid, wide, and frightful, unpro
tected, uncovered by any bandage or other
friendly appliance.
“O Heaven! he is wounded, and his wounds
are undressed,” she mentally exclaiffied : and
looking on his hands, which were clasped on
his breast, perceived that they were heavily
manacled, while a closer inspection revealed
to her that his fetters, whether by accident or
design, were fastened so closely that blood
had flowed from the pressure : and her an
guish was completed, as his lips feebly and
slowly moved, ejaculating a reproach to her
name.
“Falsa, salsa Bianca /” was the exclama
tion of his dreams, and, overwhelmed with
grief, she tottered towards the wall of the cell
to abide his awaking.
The slumbers of the wretched are brief
and easily broken, and the light and scarcely
audible steps of the maiden were sufficient to
arouse him from his sleep. Her heart beat
; fearfully when she heard his fetters clank as
he turned on his couch of straw ; but still
more terrific were its vibration when, perceiv
ing her, he denounced her perfidy and upbrai
ded her cruelty in coming to view, and, as lie
supposed, to triumph in the misery she had
occasioned.
“False, perfidious !” was his cry, “and art
thou come to complete thy cruelty by insult
ing me in my misery', and gloating on the ru
in thou has wrought ?”
Bianca essayed to reply, but unable to ar
ticulate, could only answer with tears.
“Thou hast still, beautiful but perfidious
fiend, another joy in store. I have been con
demned to die by a band of poltroons; any
one, nav, any three of whom, give me but my
good steed and my knightly harness, 1 would
have encountered and felled to the earth.
They have consigned me to the scaffold, and,
at to-morrow’s noon, thou mayst feast thine
eye and rejoice thine heart on the mangled
corse of Giuliano Cotalteo, who loved thee,
false one, but too well; and whose love thou
hast so cruelly, so basely repaid.”
As she feebly 7 and faintly attempted to ex
plain, he fiercely interrupted her vindication :
“Nay, add not the guilt of falsehood to the
crime of treachery. When I had thee in the
Abruzzi hills, and could have crushed thy
weak and coward escort as ’twere a nutshell,
and thence could have borne thee to our
mountains, and there have extorted as thy ‘
ransom what terms of peace or pardon I
chose, I fondly, weakly suffered my love to J
overcome my T reason, dared the displeasure of
mv associates, and gave a pledge which thou
hastemployed but for mv ruin,” —and exhaus
ted and wearied he sank again on his pillow
of straw.
Bianca, slowly and painfully collecting
herself, now commenced the recital of that
treachery of which she, as well as himself,
had been made the victim. Bitterly and un- 1
sparingly did she reproach herself for the
negligence with which she had allowed the j
ring to depart from her custody. Could she I
have divined the cruel, treacherous, the mur- j
derous purpose for which it had been procur
ed, never, never, would she have parted with
it. As it was, she implored not his forgive
ness ; this she dared not ask; but his pity and
his last regret; and, as he gradually became
calm and listened to her adjurations, she ap
proached nearer to him, grasped his passive I
hand, and, kneeling by his couch, implored
Heaven to grant her its pardon, and to be- j
stow the further boon of shortly rejoining her
lover, her victim, in the tomb!
The unhappy prisoner, softened, affected
by the undeniable truth of her sad storv, rais
ed himself on his couch, and, clasping the I
weeping girl, bestowed his blessing, his for- ‘
giveness!
The time allowed for their interview had
now expired, and with many a mutual sob
and sigh, and oft repeated embrace, the un
happy girl was separated from her only trea
sure.
On the ensuing morning the preparations of j
execution were made on the Piazza. The
youth and estimable qualities of the condemn- ‘
ed excited a more than usual interest in his :
behalf, the crowds collected were enormous,
and the dread spectacle of death had not at
tracted a more numerous assemblage since
the unhappy Conradin himself was the hero
of its melancholy scene !
At noon precisely was the hapless prison
er conducted to the scaffold, and as the bell
of Santa Maria tolled the noon-tide hour, the
head of the youthful noble rolled a ghastly
and lifeless relic on the scaffold. And at
this hour precisely she who had unconscious
ly been the instrument of his fate, enregister
ed lierself in the convent of Ursuline nuns ot
Santa Catarina, as a novice ; here she soon
found the boon she sought: she lingered in
sickness and in sorrow through the term of
her noviciate, and, on that day of the lolknv
ing year, a grave was opened in the cemetery
of the convent for the reception ol the mortal
remains of the young and beautiful and ill
fated Bianca!

Dr. deGRAFFENBIED’S j
CELEBRATED
RHEUMATIC LINIMENT.
In introducing this medicine to the people of the Unit
ed State?,, for “ale. the proprietors beg leave to submit
the following statement of Dr. de Grafienried, its diseov
eier and inventor:
The undersigned frankly state? that he has prescribed
this medicine for the last twenty-two years, in all lorms
of Acute and Chronic Rheumatism, with a success un
paralleled in the annals of medicine ; and he has no hes
itation in saving., that it is decidedly the most valuable
remedy ever yet discovered for the relief of this most pain
ful and distressing malady.
llis note-book contains upwards of three hundred ea
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 failed to effect a cure when persereved
in. Many of 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 disease i * permanently cured, remains so, not
a sol.tary instance having teen re] o ted 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 of this discovery, 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, who had written or been translated into
the English language, anti 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, arid of every other
country. Rut 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
strument in the hands of God, of relieving the human
family ofa vast amount ofsuffering.

Col. A. B. Hagan — Sir It affords me great pleasure
to be able to hear testimony to the efficacy and virtues
of Dr. de Grujfenrieds Rheumatic Liniment.
I have been sorely afflicted for the last six years with,
what 1 believed to be, and wfiat 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 ax violent if
not more so than usual, which pro-trated me for about
three weeks; on your reecomniendation I commenced
the use of this Liniment. (With I must confess but little
faith). Its effects were astonishing and decidedly bene
ficial from its first application. In a few days my back,
wrists ancles were entiielv relieved (and so contin
ue) of all soreness, pains, and the swelling’s reduced,
with the u;e of less than one bottle. I 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 mo.-t cheerfully recommend its me to all
who may be afflicted with it.
Respectfully Yours, N. W. BRIDGES.

Dr. de&rafeuried- —Dear Sir; For the last twelve
years I have suffered very seveiely with the Rheumatism,
having been nearly one fourth of the time confined to
my bed hv it. I have had the l est medical aid to be
found in various cities in the United States, with little
or no benefit. I have also tried innumerable strongly
recommended remedies, which have failed to effect a
cure. 1 spent the last summer at the White Sulphur and
Hot Springs in Virginia, to little purpose. After my return
home, Iso far recovered,as to lie able to walk about a lit
tle. About six weeks since. I bad a very sevore attack
which again confined me to my bed, I was in great pain
and scately able to move my limbs, when a friend of
mine called and informed me that you had discovered
an in fallible 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 Linamcnt, and take pleasure in informinig 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. DeGrafTenried—Dear Sir : 1 tuke pleasure in giv
ing you the particulars of my affliction by, and relieft'rnm
Rheumatism. During the spring of 1844 I was afflicted
with a very severe attack of Inflammatory Rheumatism.
1 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 thetimeTcommenced the
application, I was well, and clear of the'Rheumatism as
l ever was, and have continued so to this time.

Columbus. October 30, 1810!
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 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
i so badly, that I could not pull of my shoes without aid ;
nor could 1 ascend or descend steps, or pull off my
clothes without assistance: My right arm and hand
were nearly useless ; the fingers contracted and swollen;
the right knee swollen and stiffened, so that I could not’
bend it hut very little. Up to the Ist of April, I was all
the time in suffering and pain ; I rubbed with your Rheu
matic Liniment iny limns three times, and was the next
j morning enabled to descend a long fight of steps, with
out aid of crutch or stick, and back ro my room—l could
also bend my knee and bring it up to the chair, which
the previous day, 1 could not have done if my life had de
pended on it. 1 could also use. open and bend my fing
ers, wicli 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
would not have been in the condition which I had been,
ten days before 1 called on you, for any ammit’of money
which could he given me ; for what'is lifc vvorth when
in constant pain and misery ! I consider your Rheumat
ic Liniment, the most valuable medicine in the world. I
am, dear sir, your friend.

Dear Sir—My negro woman Patience, a cook, had a
stilff neck 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 of 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 he 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 Fowell street.
Columbus Ga., Oct. 13,1849.
Dr. E. L de Graflenried —Dear Bir: 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 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 lain
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. B CHAPMAN.
I .can testify to the efficacy of Dr. de Grartenried’s
Rheumatic Liniment in the case of Mr. F. S. Chapman,
as it came under my immediate observation.
October 13,1819. R. A. WARE, M. D.
Dear Sir—Some time in Janary 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 lived, to call 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, from my own knowl
edge, and that which I have heard from others.
Dr. E. L. de Graflenried. 11. C. McKEE.
Columbus, Oct. 19th 1819
Dr. de Graflenried—Dear Sir : Itake pleasure in say
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. 1 used the fourth of
a bottle of your Rheumatic Liniment, which relieved
him entirely. I consider it a most valuable remedy for i
the cure of Rheumatism. „ j

The Faculties, for intellectual abilities, moral worth
and professional acquirements, will compare favorably
with the most distinguished in our country. The medi
cal faculty constituted 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 ol 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 iias 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.
