“SOCIALISM” ILLUSTRATED. j A RICH SCENE. The English and French press, from time to time, give us some rich illustrations of the j nature and tendency of the Socialist doctrines i propagated amongst certain classes in France, and the merits of many of those who pro- j claim themselves teachers of the creed. A j case came on trial, in the Court of Justice, i in Paris, which, we are assured, gives a fair j idea of the sort of people who were preparing ‘ for the triumph of those doctrines by anew ] and sanguinary revolution, until the immense increase of the anny under Changamier made such a Revolution an impossibility. On the 4th of May last, a Commissary of Police, acting on information received by the authorities, paid a visit to the meeting place of one of those numerous secret societies j with.which the capitol abounds, and where a , supply of arms and ammunition was said to } be concealed. The house was a brothel. A j man was found there whose only ascertained j occupation was that of “patriot,” and whose means of subsistence were derived from the j earnings of the woman with whom he lived. j The man was a patriot of the most exalted j kind. The apartment occupied by him and | his mistress might be termed a complete arse- ; nal on a small scale. There were found j twenty-seven packages of ball cartridges, \ three cannon balls, pistol bullets, gun caps, j and a quantity of lead. There were also found 2,000 voting tickets, with the name of M. Raspail as the future President of the purer Republic to be established some day last month on the ruins of the present one, which i'ranee was threatened with so often during the discussion on the Electoral Law, and the menace of which compels the Government to keep round Paris an army of 150,000 men— four lists of names of certain well known Socialists, seventeen political papers in manu script, seventeen Socialist pamphlets from well known authors, twenty proclamations to be put in circulation on the striking of the blow that was to insure the triumph of So cialism, one bayonet, the bust of the Goddess of Liberty in plaster, with the device under neath, “Democratic and Socialist Republic, Rights of Labor,” completed this edifying inventory. “You have the impudence,” said the judge in his examination of the prisoner, “to pro claim yourself the regenerator of mankind, and vou are living with a common prostitute. This is no great proof of morality.” “I was employed as the distributer of print ed papers—l was not otherwise employed at the moment,” was the reply. “It is certainly strange that you should have a statue with an inscription in favor of the rights of labor, while you never yet sub mitted to honest industry for your mainte nance. When did you procure the arms and ammunition found at your house?” “I had them in my possession as a combat ant in the glorious days of February, or as .National Guard after the revolution.” An old man was then called as a witness. He was the father of the Socialist patriot. He declared that he had exhausted every effort to rescue his unfortunate son from his disorderly, idle and profligate associates. “It only depended on himself,” said the father, “never to have quitted his family. These horrible ideas have ruined him; they have de to,Action, Ms mother mi myself W.w have worked t,U ourtet shed bitter tears as lie looked at his son; but the apostle of Socialism remained unmoved. He stood, with stoical indifference, twirling his moustaches or caressing his beard and casting a glance of ineffable disdain on the vulgar bigots who were unable to comprehend (ho beauties of the new Social world, of which he would be one of the constructors, lie was sentenced to one month’s imprison ment. Another patriot of the same school was also brought to the bar for having uttered terrible menaces against the landlady of a wine house, who had tho audacity to ask for the payment of his account. This man was in like manner to be the constructor of the new Republic: “You aro nothing but a White,” lie was accused of saying to the landlady, “as are all the rentiers, bourgeois and trades-poople of the country. You are all a pack of Aris tocrats. I belong to the Reds, and in eight days time I shall come w ith the other patriots and friends to shoot you and those like you, and to give fine work to your money bags,” and, on the landlady threatening to have him arrested, he added, “Arrest me! a patriot, a Red! The tail of my party is a long one; we are more than 80,000 Reds; never mind, before long the guillotine will play; blood will flow in streams, and yours will be amongst the first. We will erect the guillotine at your very doors, and all the bourgeois and shopkeepers will mount to it, for you are all a pack of idlers and Aristocrats.” The patriot pleaded that he was drunk, and that he did not know what he said. He was sentenced to three months’ imprisonment, and no doubt will increase the long list of martyrs to the ardent desire to propagate the Socialist faith. In the records of the courts of justice may perhaps be found the best materials for the history of practical Socialism. A non-com missioned officer of the National Guard pre ferred a complaint yesterday at the police court in consequence of a visit paid him by one of She most cntlrosiasttc propagators of the martyrs of the faith. A young man called at his house and commissioned the servant to say that he wished to speak with her master. He was admitted. “I bog to announce to you,” ho said to the National Guard, “that I am a Socialist; and, still more, that I am one of those who were transported for the affair of June (1848.) I have received a pardon. I have just returned from the hulks at Brest. I am without re sources. I want the necessaries of life, and you have no right, as a high authority informs us, to its superfluities. Give me instantly five francs.” The poor National Guard looked at his visiter in dismay. Before he had time to re ply to this practical commentator on Social ism, espying a pair of patent leather boots in j the corner of the room, advanced and took i up one of them. [ “Why, how is this?” he cried, “you are a j coxcomb; you wear elegant boots. Mem— Another superfluity; my shoes are rather the | worse for wear; you must give me these 1 boots. You are a rich man—house well fur- j nished—come, give me sf. at once, and we I are quits.” The bourgeois touched the bell, summoned his servant, and made a sign that the police should be sent for. Flie Socialist snatched up a knife that was lying on the table, and threatened that, if he was arrested, lie would ; that very minute kill himself. Fearing that i he would put his threat into execution, the ] master of the house allowed him to depart. In a Quarter of an hour afterwards he received | a challenge from his visiter! This new mar ! tvr of Socialism, who made no defence, was I sentenced to two years imprisonment and | five years surveillance of the police. His ! sa d story may be well introduced as anew instance of the prejudices of the age in some j new edition of the Mysteres du Peuple. A Chip from a Sailor’s Log. It was a dead calm —not a breath of air I —the sails flapped idly against the masts; the ! helm had lost its power, and the ship turned i her head how and where she liked. The ; heat was intense, so much so, that the chief mate had told the boatswain to keep the watch out of the sun; but the watch below found it too warm to sleep, and were tor mented with thirst, which they could not grat ify till the water was served out. They had j drunk up all the previous day’s allowance; ! and now that their scuttle butt was dry, j there was nothing left for them but endu | ranee. Some of the seamen had congrega ted on the top gallant forecastle, where they j gazed on the clear blue water with longing | eyes. “ How cool and clear it looks,” said a tall, : powerful young seaman; “ I don’t think there are many sharks about; what do you say for ! a hath lads?” “That for the sharks!” burst almost simul -1 taneously from the parched lips of the group; j we’ll have a jolly good hath when the second mate goes in to dinner.” In about half an hour the dinner bell rang. The boatswain took charge of the deck, some twenty sailors were now stripped, except a pair of light duck trousers; among the rest was a tall, powerful coast-of- Africa nigger, of the name of Leigh; they used to joke him, and call him Sambo. “Y’ou no swim to-day, Ned?” said lie, ad dressing me. “ Feard of shark, hey? Shark nebber bite me. Suppose I meet shark in I water I swim after him—him run like deb ; ble.” I was tempted, and, like the rest, was ’ soon ready. In quick succession we jumped j off the spritsailyard, the black leading. We i had scarcely been in the water five minutes, ■ when some voice onboard cried out, “A shark! a shark *” In an instant every one of | tho swimmers came tumbling up the ship’s | sides half mad with fright, the gallant black ; among the rest. It was a false alarm. We ; felt angry at ourselves for being frightened, angry with those who had frightened us, and furious with those who had laughed at us. In another moment we were all again in the water, the black and myself swimming some distance from the ship. For two successive voyages there had been a sort of rivalry be tween us; each fancied that he was the best swimmer, and we were now testing our speed. “ Well done, Ned !” cried some of the sail ors from the forecastle. “Go it, Sambo !” cried some others. We were both straining our outmost, excited by the cheers of our re spective partisans. Suddenly the voice of the boatswain was heard shouting, “ A shark! a shark! Come back, for God’s sake !” “ Lay aft, and lower tlie cutter down,” then came faintly on our ear. The race instantly ceased. As yet, we only half believed what we heard, our recent fright being still fresh in our memories. “ Swim, for God’s sake!” cried the captain, who was now on deck ; “ he has not yet seen you. The boat, if possible, will get between you and him. Strike out, lads, for God’s than ‘a cUiFulwU stood still: I felt weaker ! dorsal fin of a large shark oh HluTStaflJo&Vfi j ouartor. Though in the water, the perspira ; tion dropped from me like rain ; the black i was striking out like mad for the ship. “ Swim, Ned—swim!” cried several voices; ! “ they never take black when they can get | white.” ] I did swim, and that desperately; the water ‘: foamed past me. I soon breasted the black, but could not head him. \\ e both strained every nerve to be first, for we each fancied that the last man would be taken. Yet we scarcely seemed to move! the ship appeared as far as ever from us. We were both pow erful swimmers, and both of us swam in the trench way called la brasse, or hand over hand in English. There was something the matter with the boat’s falls, and they could not lower her. “lie sees you now!” was shouted ; “he is after you !” Oh the agony of that moment! I thought of everything at the same instant, at least so it seemed to me then. Scenes long forgotten rushed through my brain with the rapidity of lightning, yet in the midst of this I was striking out madly for the ship. Each moment I fancied I could feel the pilot-fish touching me, and I almost screamed with agony. We were now not ten yards from the ship; fifty ropes were thrown to us, but, as if by mutual instinct, wo swam for the same. “ Hurra ! they are saved !—they are along side ! ’ was shouted by the eager crew. We both grasped the rope at the same time; a slight struggle ensued ; I had the highest hold. Regardless of everything but my own safety, I placed my feet on the black’s shoulders, scrambled up the side, and fell exhausted on the deck. The negro followed roaring with pain, for the shark had taken away part of his heel. Since then, I have never bathed at sea; nor, I believe, has Sambo been ever heard again to assert, that he would swim after a shark if he met one in the water.— Chambers’ Journal Auccdote of Sheridan. Tho circumstance of Sheridan’s well-known duel having been misrepresented, he came to town, resolved to set the British public right, and as Perry, the editor of the Morning Chron icle, was his friend, he resolved to do so through the channels of that paper. It was agreed by them that Sheridan,under a fictitious name, should write a history of the affair as it had been misrepresented, and that he should subsequently reply to it in his own name, giv ing the facts of the case. The first part he accomplished,and there appeared in the Chro nicle a bitter article against him, written, in fact, by himself; but he could never find time to write the reply, and it never was written. Getting on in the World. There are many different ways of getting on in the world. It does not always mean mak ing a deal of money, or being a great man for people to look up with wonder. Leaving off'a bad habit for a good one is getting on in the world; to be clean and tidy instead of dirty and disorderly, is getting on ; to be careful and saving instead of thoughtles and wasteful, is getting on; to be active and in dustrious, instead of idle and lazy, is getting on; to be kind and forbearing, instead of ill natured and quarrelsome, is getting on; to work as dilligently in the master’s absence | as in his presence, is getting on; in short, when we see any one properly attentive to his duties, persevering through his difficulties to gain such knowledge as shall be of use to i himself and others, offering a good example to his relatives and acquaintances, we may be 1 sure that he is getting on in the world. Mo ney ie a very useful article m ita war. but if is i possible to get on with but small means; for it is a mistake to suppose that we must wait for a good deal of money before we can do any thing. Perseverance is often better than a full purse. Many people lag behind, or miss the way altogether, because they do not see the simple and abundant means which surround them on all sides; and it so happens that these means are aids which cannot be bought with money. Those who wish to get on in the world must have a stock of patience and perseverance, of hopeful confidence—a willingness to learn, and a disposition not ea sily cast down by difficulties and disappoint ments. Power of a Good Man’s Life. , The beauty of a holy life, says Chalmers, constitutes the most eloquent and effective persuasive to religion, which one human being can address to another. YVe have many ways of doing good to our fellow-creatures, but none so efficacious as leading a virtuous, upright and well-ordered life. There is an energy of moral suasion in a good man’s life, passing the highest efforts of the orator’s genius. The seen but silent beauty of holi ness speaks more eloquently of God and duty than the tongues of men and angels. Let parents remember this. The best inheritance a parent can bequeath to a child is a virtuous example, a legacy of hallowed remembrances and associations. The beauty of holiness beaming through the life of a loved relative or friend, is more to strengthen such as do stand in virtue’s wavs, to raise up those that are bowed down, than precept, command, entreaty or warning. Christianity itself, 1 believe, owes by far the greater part of its moral power, not to the precepts or parables of Christ, but to His own character. The beauty of that holiness which is enshrined in the four brief biographies of the Man of Na zareth, has done more, and will do more to to regenerate the world, and bring in ever lasting righteousness, than all the other agen cies put together. It has done more to spread His religion in the world than all that has ever been written on the evidences of Chris tianity. Religion in Early Life. No one, at the close of an advanced life, has ever regretted that his early years were spent in the service of God. But thousands have regretted when upon a dying bed, that the morning of their days were spent in re bellion against the King of kings. “ If,” says the eloquent and pious John Angell James, “ there be true honor in the universe, it is found in religion. Even the heathen were sensible of this; hence the Romans built the temples of Virtue and Honor close to gether, to teach the way to honor was by virtue. Religion is the image of God in tho soul of man. Can glory itself rise higher than this? What a distinction to have this lustre put upon the character in youth ! It ! was mentioned by Paul, as a singular honor to the believing Jews, that they first trusted in Christ; and in referring to Andromicus and Junta, he mentions it to their praise, that ■ they were in Christ before him. To be a i child of God, an heir of Glory, a disciple of Christ, a warrior of the Cross, a citizen of the New Jerusalem, from our youth up, i adorns the brow with amaranthine wreaths • of fame. A person converted in youth, is > like the sun rising on a summer’s morning to ’ shine through a long bright day; but a per • plation, but not appearing till the day is clos : ing, and then but for a little while.” * A “Webster Boy.” The YVebsterian aphorism, “I take no step . backwards,” is becoming a pet phrase with the people, and, like other notable sayings, is | beginning to be applied in ways quite foreign 1 to its original signification. The New Or , leans Delta tells of a case in point. A Y'an kee from the Old Bay State—“a Bunker Hil ler, and nothing shorter,” as he declared him self, who had strayed down South, applied to . a Terpsichorean professor in the Crescent City to induct him into the mysteries of the “poetry of motion”—or, in his own words, to “learn him to dance them Polkas and other foreign fixins!” The terms were made known and agreedto and the pupil was placed on the floor to learn the first lesson of “advance and retire.” “Look-e-here, Mister,” said the young sci on of Massachusetts, “I may as well tell you before we begin, that I go my death for Dan Webster—for Old Black Dan. He is a real Massachusetts monument in that ere Senate, I tell you; and if you have any Southern pre judice against him, I may as well clear out right oft; for I can’t stand it, no how.” The professor assured him he had not, and the lesson commenced. The pupil was first instructed how to make his obeisance to his partner; next the “posi tions,” and next to advance and retire. Professor: “Advance, one, two, three, — dal, al, al. Very good; retire now—same —one two, three, dal, al, al.” Instead of retiring, however, the pupil stood at the point to which he had advanced, as if he were transfixed to it. Professor: What are you about, sir? retire tread the same steps backwards—just as vou advanced.” Pupil: “No, I’ll be darn’d if I do; I told you I was a Webster boy, and I ain’t any thing else—l believe in Old Dan. Now lie has said that he ain’t agoin’ to take no step back wards; and I’m blamed if I will, anv way you can fix it—good mornin’, stranger.” Saying this he picked up his hat, placed it on” his head, and sloped! Satirical.—A little fellow, who had “begun to learn Latin,” occasionally mixed his mother tongue with a spice of the dead language; it thus chanced, as one day he was reading loud to his master, that he astonished him by the translation; “Vir, a man ; gin, a trap; vir-gin, a man-trap.” “Y ou young rogue,” exclaimed the peda gogue, “your father has been helping you with your lessons.” “Mine fren, have you seen von little trunk what I left to-morrow, as I will come from ze steamboat by ze hotel ?” “I did not, Monsieur, and expect to do so for the remainder of the day.” “By gar, if he gets stole, 1 will kill ze rascal what will take him till he choke, —Sacre! vat a eountrys!” ‘lllcstrated with Cuts,” said a young urchin, as he drew his pocket knife across the leaves of his Grammar. “Illustrated with cuts,’ reiterated the schoolmaster, as he drew his cane across the hack of the young urchin. “I say, Jerry, lend me your newspaper ?” “I can’t do it; you would’nt lend me your new coat the other day, you know.” “Nonsense; that’s another thing; I onlv want to read it to the ladies.” “Can’t come it Jerry, I only wanted the wear of your coat to we*the ladies.” Dr. dcGRAEFENRIED’S CELEBRATED RHEUMATIC LINIMENT. Ix introduaing this medicine to tho people of the Unit ed States,, for sale, the proprietors boa leave to submit the following statement of Dr. de Grafienried, its discov erer and inventor: The undersigned frankly states that he has prescribed this medicine for the last twenty-two years, in all ionns 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 remedy ever yet discovered for the relief of this most paiu 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 no single instanee has it come to his knowl edge, of its having failed to effect a cure when persereved in. Al any of the cases 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 is permanently cured, remains so, not a solitary instance having been reported to him of its re tum. 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 ol this discovery, the undersigned had well studied the origin , progress, and character ot this dm 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. 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 tho human family of a vast amount of suffering.

Joxe’s Hotel, Philadelphia, March 3d 1830 Col. A. B. Ragan — Sir It affords me great pleasure to be able to hear testimony to the efficacy and virtues of Dr. de Graffenrieds Rheumatic 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 reccommendation I commenced tlie 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 entirely relieved (and. so coutin ue) of all soreness, pains, and tho swelling’s reduced, with the use of less than one bottle. I have been in tlie discharge of my ordinary business ever since. I consider it an extraordinary, and decidedly the most efficacious remedy for this disease which I have over met with. And most cheerfully recommend its use to all who mav be afflicted with it. Respectfully Yours, N, W. BRIDGES. Jones, Hotel. Baltimore March, 30 1830. Dr. de Graffenried— Dear Sir ; For the last twelve years I have suffered very severely with the Rheumatism, having been nearly one fourth of the time confined to my bed by it. I have had the best 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. I spent the last summer at tho White Sulphur and Hot Springs in Virginia, to little purpose. Aftermy return home, I so far recovered, as to be able to wa! k 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 scarely able to move my limbs, when a friend of mine called and infonnod 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'Linament, and take pleasure in informinigyou that in le=s 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 medecine.— Wisliing you all the Blessings you deserve Dear Sir.

I employed all the mo.-t 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 vour Liniment, as something new, and which had cured him ; and in one month, from the time I commenced the application, 1 was well, and clear of the Rheumatism as I ever was, and have continued so to this time. Y ours, truly, L. C. MORTON. FROM COL. A. K. AYER. Dr. E. L. do Grafienried—Learning that you arc about to manufacture for tlie public, your valuable Rheumatic Liniment, 1 take pleasure in stating 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 of mine, who had been af flicted for four years, until almost every joint was en larged, and the body otherwise emaciated. By the uso of lour or five bottles, in three weeks lie was relieved en tirely from pain Columbus Ga., —Oct. 24, 1849. 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 remedy that would afford mo speedy relief. 1 was taken down in January last, with a violent attack of Rheumatism in nearly all my joints so badly, that I could not pull ofmy shoes without aid ; nor could I ascend or descend stops, 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 but very little. Up to the Ist of April, I was all the time in suffering and pain ; I nibbed with your Rheu matic Liniment my limbs 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 the chair, which the previous dav, I 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 I called on you, for any amoutof money which could he given me ; for what is life worth when in constant pain and misery ! I consider your Rheumat ic Liniment, the most valuable medicine in the world. I am, dfear sir, your friend. J. 11. SMITH. Columbus, Nov. 1, 1849. Dear Sir—My. negro woman Patience, a cook, had a etilff 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 1848. 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. 11850. Dr. dc Graffonried—Dear Sir: Having been afflicted, for some time past, with a severe attack of Rheumatism, and having heard of the wonderful effects of vour 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 Gn., Oct. 13,1549. I 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 of my linger, last winter, with acute i Rheumatism, and haying used many of the unnumbered j prescriptions for its cure, with but fittle benefit, I made j 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. V ery respectfully, F. S CHAPMAN. I can testify to the efiicacy 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 from the pain, want of sleep, and great rest lessness, for not less than six weeks. I was iuduced by my friend, Mr. Luke Reed, tc 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 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.

During the last summer, a son of i Mr. Abraham Crabill, of this county, was very se riously afflicted with Liver Complaint, and after trying | in vain various remedies, he purchased a bottle of the t Bitters, and after using it, was so much relieved of * his distressing malady, that he procured another bot , tie, and is restored entirely to health.” j Read Further a Fete Facts. 1 The “Philadelphia Democrat,” the leading Ger | man journal of Philadelphia. The editor said, No ? vernber 24tli : “We again call attention to the removal of the German Medicine Store, the principal depot for the sale of Dr. IToofland’s German Bitters, from 2TS Race to 120 Arch street, one door below Sixth. — . Owing to the increased demand for this medicine, j and for the accommodation of his numerous patients, Dr. Jackson W 1.,..,, mmwly tyv .. nr,.r i store. W e wish him success in his new quarters ; 1 he is deserving it The Bitters Mixture is without ) doubt the greatest medicine extant for diseases of the 1 Liver and Bowels. A stubborn ease of Chronic ’ Diarrhoea has come under our notice, wherein the pot ent had exhausted the Materia Medieas of the different schools of medicine with no apparent benefit. He was induced to use these bitters, and a few bottles t of them have entirely cured him. Many such eas-'s we could refer to. We hope our readers will reeol ; lect this great restorative, should they be so unfortu nate as to require its use. Dr. Jackson possesses the original unpublished receipt of Dr. Iloofland. and . he prepares this medicine with care. Those pur chasing should call at his store, or see that his name is written upon tire wrapper outside, and blown in the bottle, as imitations of good articles are common.” Judge M. M. Noah, a gentleman with great sci entific and literary attainments, said in his “New York Weekly Messenger,” January C, 1850: 11 Dr. Hoojland's German Billers. —Here is a pre paration which the leading presses in the Union ap pear to be unanimous in recomending, and the rea son is obvious. It is made after a prescription furnished by one of the most celebrated physicians of modern times, the late Dr. Christopher Wilhelm Iloofland. Professor to the University of Jena, Private Physician to the Kingof Prussia, and one of the greatest medi cal writers Germany lias ever produced. He was emphatically the enemy of humbug , and therefore a medicine of which he was the inventor and endorser may be perfectly relied on. lie specially recommend ed it in Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Debility, Vertigo, Acidity of the Stomach, Constipation, and all com plaints arising from a disordered condition of the stomach, the liver and the intestines. Nine Phila delphia papers express their conviction of its excel lence, and several of the editors speak of its effects from their own individual experience. Under these circumstances, we feel warranted not only in calling the attention of our readers to the present proprietor’s (Dr. C. M. Jackson's) preparation, but in recom mending the article to all afflicted.” More Evidence. The “Philadelphia Saturday Gazette,” the best family newspaper published in the United States, the editor says of DR. HOOFLANDS GERMAN BITTERS. “ It is seldom that we recommend what are termed Patent Medicines to the confidence and patronage of I our readers; and, therefore, when we recommend Dr. Hoofland’s German Bitters,Ave wish it to be distinct ly understood that we are not speaking of the nos trums of the day that are noised about for a brief period and then forgotten after they have done their guilitv rncc of mischief, but of a medicine long established, universally prized, and which has met the hearty ap i proval of the Faculty itself.” Evidence upon evidence has been received (like the foregoing) from all sections of the Union, the last three years, and the strongest testimony in its favor is, that there is more of it used in the practice of the regular Physicians of Philadelphia than all other nos trums combiued, a fact that can easily be established, and fully proving that a scientific preparation will meet with their quiet approval when presented even in this form. That this medicine will cure Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, no one can doubt, after using it as direct ed. It acts specifically upon the stomach and liver— it is preferable to calomel in all bilious diseases— the effect is immediate. They can be administered to female or infant with safety and reliable benefit, at any time. Beware of Counterfeits. This medicine has attained that high character which is necessary for all medicines to attain to in duce counterfeiters to put forth a spurious article at the risk of the lives of those who are innocently de- i eeived. .

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 tire 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 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 I acuity are particularly acquainted with those diseases. That the public may be satisfied of tho permanency of this school, wc 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.
