A General View oi Holland.
There is not, perhaps, a country in Europe,
which will more surprise an intelligent travel
ler than Holland. Although so near to our
coasts, and so easily accessible, it is too often
passed over by the English in their haste to
reach the picturesque scenes of the Rhine
and Switzerland. The attractions ol Hol
land are certainly of a different kind; but
they are of a character so entirely* peculiar,
that whether a traveller visit this country at
the outset or termination of his tour, he will
be equally sure to lind in it what he lias not
seen before.
The routes from Rotterdam to Amsterdam,
and thence to Cologne, described in the fol
lowing pages, may be fully explored in ten
days or aJorlnight'■ ; and there is certainly no
road in Europe which in so small a space has
so many curiosities to show, and upon which
lie so many cities, great in commerce, and
renowned in history. To a stranger, Holland
appears hardly endurable as a country to re
side in, but for a journey of two weeks the
universal flatness and the monotony of scene
ry are not tiresome. The aspect of the coun
try is too strange to fatigue, and, indeed, in
sunny weather, is very fertile in picturesque
effects.
A large part of Holland is a delta, formed
of the alluvium deposited by the Rhine and
other rivers, in the same manner as the
Delta of Egypt has been formed by the Nile.
The greater portion of it has been persever
ingly rescued from the water, to whose do
minion it nay almost be said to belong, by the
continual efforts and ingenuity of man, and
in a long series of years. Much of it is mud
driven up by 7 the sea, in return for what it
carries away from some parts of the coast.
Were human agency and care removed
but for six months, the waves wouUl, without
doubt, regain their ancient dominion—so
much of the land lies below the level of the
sen; and an extensive tract of the country
would he reduced to the state of those vast
wastes, composed of sand and mud-banks,
quite unfit for human habitation, which now
lie at the mouths of the Nile and Mississippi.
And yet these fields, gained with such difficul
ty, and preserved by constant watchfulness,
from the waters, have been, in more instances
than one, inundated by their owners during
their contests with foreign foes; and Dutch
patriotism has not hesitated to subject the
land to temporary ruin in the desire of pre
serving liberty. The cutting of the dykes,
and the opening of the sluice-gates, which
was resorted to in order to tree Holland from
Spanish tyranny, was a desperate resource,
and in itself a national calamity, entailing
beggary for some years upon a large portion
of the population, owing to the length of
time and the very great expense which a sec
ond recovery of the land from the sea re
quired. This glorious sacrifice, however,
served to show that it needs not the moun
tains of Switzerland, nor the fastnesses of
Tyrol to enable a brave people to defend
their native land.
Holland may be considered in many re
spects as the most yvonderful country, per
haps, under the sun; it is certainly unlike
every other. What elsewhere would bo con
sidered as impossible, has here been carried
into effect, and incongruities have been ren
dered consistent. “ The house built upon
the sand” may here be seen standing; neither
Amsterdam nor Rotterdam has any better
foundation than sand, into which piles are
driven through many feet of superincumbent
bog earth; and to form a correct idea of
these and other wonderful cities and towns
standing on the morass, one must not forget
the millions of solid beams hidden under
ground, which support them. We speak con
temptuously of anything which is held to
gether by straws, yet a long line of coast of
several provinces is consolidated by no other
means than a few reeds intermixed with straw
wliisps, or woven into mats. Without this
frail hut effectual support, the fickle dunes, or
sand-hills, would be driven about into the in
terior, and would overwhelm whole districts
of cultivated land. In Holland the laws of
nature seem to be reversed; the sea is higher
than the land ; the lowest ground in the coun
try is twenty-four feet below high-water mark,
and, when the tide is driven high by the wind,
30 feet! In no other country do the keels of
tho ships float above the chimneys of the
houses, and nowhere else does the frog, croak
ing from among the bulrushes, look down
upon the swallow on the house top. Where
rivers take their course, it is not in beds of
their own choosing; they are compelled to
pass through canals, and are confined within
fixed bounds by the stupendous mounds im
posed on them by human art, which has also
succeeded in overcoming the everywhere else
resistless impetuosity of the ocean : here, and
no where else, does the sea appear to have
half obeyed the command, “ Thus far shalt
thou go, and no further.”
In a very extensive district, the canals are
brimful of water, which can hardly stir, and,
when in motion, flows with a current barely
perceptible. There is not a stone or pebble
to be found, and there are no bills, save such
as are raised by the winds; unless, indeed,
we take into consideration those vast artificial
mountains of granite, which have been brought
at enormous expense from Norway and Swe
den, and sunk under waterto serve as barriers
to the sea. Excepting the eastern provinces,
the parks of Ilaarletn and the Hague, and the
avenues leading from one city to another, the
land does not produce much wood; but then
entire Norwegian forests have been buried be
neath the mud in the shape of piles. “ The
total of the hydraulic works between the
Dollart and the Schelde have been estimated
by a competent judge to have cost £300,000,-
000 sterling, and form in so small a country
a most astonishing monument of humau in
dustry.”— Telford.
The constant attention which a Dutchman
has been obliged to give to maintaining in
perfect order the great works on which his
safety depends, and the artificial nature of
the country itselt which he has formed for his
residence and support, has given a formal
and methodical direction to his tastes in cases
where Nature would have been better left to
herself. Thus trees are often found growing,
not in the natural way, but as they have been
arranged by the plummet and line, in rank
and file, in straight rows and avenues. Their
branches are not allowed to spread abroad
as nature intended, but are cut and clipped
till they 7 are transformed into green walls, or
are even trained into more grotesque shapes.
By way of improving still further upon na
ture, the trunks and lower branches are some
times painted over with bright colors in North
Holland, partly’ for the sake of cleanliness,
partly’ to preserve them from insects.
The Dutchman may be said to have made
even the wind, his slave. It might lie suppos
ed that the universal flatness, and the absence
of those elevations which afford shelter to
ether countries, would leave this at the mercy
of every blast that blows, to sweep every
thing before it So far is this from being the
case, that not a breath of air is allowed to
pass without paying toll, as it were, by turn-
ing a windmill. These machines are so
numerous, that they may be said to be never
out of sight in a Dutch landscape. In the
suburbs of great cities, they are congregated
like armies of giants, spreading out their
broad arms, as if to protect the streets and
houses which they overlook. W ith us they
are rarely used except to grind corn ; in Hol
land, they are employed almost as variously
as the steam-engine; they saw timber, crush
rape-seeds for oil, giind snuff, beat hemp, &c.;
but the principal service which they perform
is in draining the land; and here the Dutch
have most ingeniously set the wind to coun
teract the water. At least one-half of the
windmills have water-wheels attached to
them, which act as pumps, and, by constant
ly raising the water into the canals, alone
keep the lowland dry* and fit for cultivation
and the habitation of man. As, however,
experience has shown that a first-rate mill is
advantageously applied to raise water only 1
ell, ji 3-28 feetat once, 3 or 4 are often plant
ed in a row on stages one above the other,
each pumping up the water to the stage above
it. They are constructed of much larger di
mensions than with us : a single sail is often
120 feet long, and the usual length is 80 feet.
There are said to be 9000 of these windmills
in Holland, and the annual cost of them is
valued at 3,000,000 dollars.
It will, indeed, be soon discovered, while
visiting either the towns or the country parts
of Holland, that the inhabitants do not sub
ject themselves to the unceasing menial labor
which characterizes the Flemings, Germans,
and even the English. A windmill pumps
the water out of the polders ; a horse drags
passengers and merchandise to and fro on the
canals; a street porter is scarcely ever seen
carrying a burden. Houses first a wheelbar
row, and when he becomes rich enough to
buy a horse, he has it harnessed to a sledge,
on which he drags the burden along the
streets.
To sum up all, to such an extent do para
doxes prevail in Holland, that even the rows’
tads, in other countries proverbial for grow
ing downwards, and descending in the world
as they advance in age, here grow upwards:
for, with the view of promoting the cleanli
ness of the animal while in the stall, the tail
is tied up to a ring in the roof of the stable.
This may be seen in Brock and elsewhere in
Holland.
Many authors have exercised their wit or
spleen in describing tbis singular country.
Thus, Voltaire took leave of the land and
people in these sarcastic words: “Adieu!
canaux, canards, canaille.”
The following verses are from the works of
Andrew Marvel:—
“ Holland, that scarce deserves the name of land,
As but the offscouring of the British sand,
And so much earth as was contributed
By English pilots when they heav’d the lead ;
Or what by the ocean’s slow alluvion fell,
Os shipwreck’d cockle and the muscle-shell ;
This indigested vomit of the sea
Fell to the Dutch by just propriety.
” Glad, then,as miners who have found the ore,
They with mad labor, fished ths land to shore,
And div’d as desperately for each piece
Os earth, as if’t been of ambergris;
Collecting anxiously small loads of clay,
Less than what building swallows bear away ;
Or than those pills which sordid beetle* roll,
Transiting into them their dunghill soul.
” llowdid they rivet with gigantic piles,
Through the centre their ncw-catch’d miles!
And to the stake a struggling country bound,
Where barking waves still bait the forced ground,
Building their watery Babel far more high
To reach the sea, than those to scale the sky.
“ Yet still his claim the injur’d Ocean laid,
And oft at leapfrog o’er their teeple play'd ;
As if on purpose it on land had come
To show them what’* their man liberum.
“ A daily deluge over them docs boil;
The earth and water play at level coil.
The fiah ofttime* the burgher dispossess'd,
And sat,not as a meat, but as a guest;
And oft the tritons and the sea-nymphs saw
Whole shoals of Dutch serv'd up for Cabillau ;
Or, as they over the new level rang’d,
For pickled herring, pickled herring chang’d.
Nature, it seem’d, asnam’d of her mistake,
Would throw their land away at duck and drake.”
ZOLL-VEREIN.
Down to 1833, almost every state in Ger
many had its own tariff and system of du
ties, and the traveller was subjected to the
inconvenience of custom-house visitations on
the frontier of each state, however insignifi
cant; while the vexatious impediments thrown
in the wav of trade were enormous. Some
states, situated in the interior of the Conti
nent, were compelled to pay ten or twelve
different transit duties for every article they
imported or exported.
An Association called Zoll-Verein (Toll
Union,) headed by Prussia, is now formed for
the furtherance of trade by consolidating the
different states of Germany, and uniting
them under one system of customs. The
members of this league have agreed to adopt
the same scale of duties—to abolish all inter
mediate custom-houses, and to divide the pro
fits among the states of the Union propor
tionately to the population of each. In con
sequence of this, many of the restraints
which impeded the communication from one
part of Germany to the other have been
removed. The conforming states are, Prus
sia, the head of the league, Bavaria, Saxony,
Wurteniburg, Baden, Brunswick, Hesse-
Darmstadt, Cassel, Nassau, Frankfurt, the
Duchies of Saxony, and Principalities of
Anhalt. Those which have, up to the pres
ent time, held back from this commercial
confederation, are, Hanover, Oldenburg,
Mecklenburg, Holstein, and the Hanse
Towns, which have formed a minor league of
their own. Thus the traveller who has cross
ed the outer line is freed from the vexations
of the Douanier in every part of Central
Germany, and may proceed without interrup
tion from Belgium to the frontier of Russia, and
from Tyrol to the Baltic, a distance of 700
or 800 miles; and a small transit duty enables
goods to pass all the states of the Union.—
Austria still follows the ancient regulations in
all the states belonging to her.
GERMANY.
Down to the time of the French Revolu
tion, the German Empire consisted of more
than 300 distinct states, greater or smaller,
which were divided into Ten Circles:— l.
Austria. 2. Burgundy, (including Belgium,
Luxemburg, Limburg, Arc., belonging to Aus
tria.) 3. Westphalia. 4. Electoral Rhine,
including the ecclesiastical principalities of
Mayence, Treves and Cologne, and the Pala
tinate. 5. Upper Rhine, chiefly the terri
tory of the Landgrave of Hesse Cassel. 6.
Swabia,the larger part made up ofthedomains
of the Duke of Wurtemberg and the Mar
grave of Baden. 7. Bavaria. 8. Fran
conia, including the bishoprics of Bamberg
and \\ urzbarg, the principalities of Baireuth
and Anspach, the free city of Nuremburg,
<Nc. 9. Lower Saxony, including Magde
burg, Brunswick, Mecklenburg,” Holstein,
&c. 10. Upper Saxony, or Pomerania,
Brandenburg, Anhalt, Saxony, (Electoral and
Ducal,) iScc.
The German Con federation now comprises
38 independent states:—One Empire: Aus
tria, with a population of 11 millions, (but 35
millions if we include the provinces which
are not German.) Five Kingdoms: Prussia,
with ten millions (and 3 millions not Ger
mans) ; Bavaria, with 4 millions; Saxony,
Hanover, Wirtemberg, each one and a half
million. Seventeen Duchies and Grand
Duchies: Baden, 2 Hessen, Holstein, Lux
emburg, 4 Saxon Duchies, Brunswick, 2
Mecklenburgs, Oldenburg, Nassau, 3 Anhalts.
Eleven Principalities: 2 Schwarzburgs, 2
Hohenzollern, Lichtenstein, 2 Reuss, 2 Lip
pp, YValdeck, Homburg. Four Free Towns:
Frankfurt on Maine, Lubeck, Bremen and
Hamburg.
The Army of the Confederation is, in
peace, about 309,000 men; of wuotn 40,-
000 are cavalry.
The German nations were never conquer
ed by the Romans; at the grand migration,
they, on the contrary, broke down the Ro
man empire, and prevailed in Italy, Spain,
France and England.
The Germanic Empire, founded by Char
lemagne, a. . 800, was dissolved under
Francis 11., who, in 1800, exchanged the title
of Emperor of Germany for that of Empe
ror of Austria, confining himself to his hered
itary dominions—Austria, Bohemia, Hun
gary, &c.
In the olden time the Germanic empire
was a league of barons, counts and dukes.
Seven of the most powerful (nine in later
times) bore the titles of Electors, from then
privilege to elect the emperor. The Electors
were—the archbishops of Mayence, (the arch
bishop and archchancellor of the empire,)
Treves, and Cologne, the Palatine ot the
Rhine, arch-steward of the empire; the mar
grave of Brandenburg, arch-chamberlain;
the duke of Saxony, arch-marshal; and the
king of Bohemia, arch cup-bearer: to these
were afterwards added Bavaria, (1023,) and
Brunswick (1092.) At first, those nobles
held their dominions merely as vassals of the
empire; in course of time they kept them by
inheritance. Nearly the same occurred with
the title and office of Emperor (although the
form of election was observed to the last;)
and it continued, almost uninterruptedly, in
the Ilapshurg family, longer than in any
other, from 1273 to 1800.
After the extinction of the line of Char
lemagne, the Emperors were chosen from the
Saxons, (in 919, Henry I. and Otho I.); from
tho Franks or Salians, (in 1039, Henry III.):
from the Suabians or Hohcnstanfen (in 11;>2,
Frederick L and If.); from the Austrians or
Hapsbiirgs (in 1273, Rudolph 1., Maximilian
1., Charles Y-, and Joseph II.); of whom,
those named are the most distinguished. The
long line of fifty emperors exhibits not one
tyrant, nor did any one of them fall by the
fury of the people. The empire was by far
the most powerful state in Europe, extending
its sway over the Netherlands, over a great
part of the eastern provinces of France, over
Bohemia, Hungary and Italy. This mighty
state, which had existed paramount in Europe
longer than any in ancient or modern times,
in spite of the dangerous system of elected,
instead of hereditary emperors, received its
death-blow from the discord which followed
the Reformation. It sickened, undermined
through foreign jealousy; till, divided as it
had been, it was dissolved under the influence
of Napoleon.
The more powerful princes who, at the dis
solution of the empire, had with the titles of
dukes and kings become independent sover
eigns, afterwards coalesced together to the
number of thirty-eight, Austria and Prussia
at their head, four free towns at their tail,
under the name of the German Confedera
tion. This took place on the Bth of June,
1815 ; and the princes had, by their ambassa
dors, a permanent Congress or Diet, at pre
sent at Frankfurt on the Maine, in order to
concert measures for the welfare or defence
of their joint Father-land. Germany, with
the deperidenceis of Austria and Prussia, pre
senting the mass of 00 millions of people in
the heart of the Continent, might, if well
united, always command the first position in
the affairs of Europe.
The Constitution of Germany of 1815 may
be called an act of Confederation, by which
the princes pledged themselves to maintain
each other in independence, and by the 13th
article they promised their people to re-estab
lish, or to constitute, legislative chambers!
Law. —By the most ancient Germanic
Law, there existed a kind of Parliament,
(“ the Mayfelder”) trial by jury, and a public
administration of justice. The Roman law
has supplanted the Germanic, and is now the
basis of the administration of justice—in
Prussia, with important improvements by
Frederick 11. In the Rhenish provinces of
Prussia, Hesse, Bavaria, on the left bank of
the Rhine, the Code Napoleon, with open
courts, and trial by jury, is still in force, and
rooted hi the attachment of the people. The
same Code has partly been adopted by some
of the southern states.
Education.-— The Germans flatter them
selves that scientific education is more uni
versally diffused amongst them than any
where else. They possess twenty-three uni
versities ; scarcely a town of some odd thou
sand inhabitants is without a lycGCUm, where,
besides the ancient, the modern languages,
history, geography, mathematics, <Ac., are
taught. The people are actually obliged to
send their children to school up to a certain
age. The national education and medical
affairs are not left to chance or free trade,
but are everywhere placed under the care of
an especial minister of state. Prussia here
takes the lead again.
Character of the Germans. —Tacitus,
even in his time, praises them for their bra
very, good faith, good nature and chastity.
Their bonhommie has been ridiculed bv the
French, perhaps from their too great simplici
ty or modesty of deportment, and the negli
gence they are apt to show to externals.
The southern Germans are perhaps more
guilty of this than the northern, but then they
possess more cheerfulness and hilarity, too,
than the latter. They are sober, religious,
without austerity or show, moral and gener
ous, and of persevering industry and steadi
ness. With them the most rigid economy
must be, and is observed, as by the old Ger
manic law of inheritance, property is equally
distributed amongst the children.
“Look up!” said an Admiral to a darling
son, who had climbed to the top mast of the
vessel, and was already dizzy—the boy
obeyed, and was saved. Young man, look
up, and you will succeed. Never look down
and despair. Leave danger uncared for, and
push on. If you falter, you lose. “Look up,
do right, and trust in God !”
Nobody likes to be nobody, but every body
is pleased to think themselves somebody;
though the worst of the matter is, when any
body thinks himself to be somebodv, he is too
much inclined to think every body else to be
nobody.
“I hope you will be able to support me,”
said a young lady while walking out with
her intended, during a somewhat slippery
state of the sidewalks. “Why, yes,”said the
somewhat hesitating swain, “with a little as
sistance from your father.” There was some
confusion, and a profound silence.
“Are you fond of tongue, sir?” “I was
always fond of it, madam, and like it still.”
Dr. deGRAFFENRIED’S
CELEBRATED
RHEUMATIC LINIMENT.
I.v introducing this medicine to the people of the Unit
ed States, for sale, the proprietor? beg leave to submit
the following statement of Dr. de Gralienried, its discov
erer and inventor:
The undersigned frankly state? that he has prescribed
this medicine lor the last twenty-two years, in all forms
ot 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 pain
ful and distressing malady.
His 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 lias it come to his knowl
edge, of its having failed to effect a cine when persereved
in. M any of the eases were from four to ten years stand
ing ; aud 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
turn.
All he wold ask for thi* remedy i* * f*ir, impar
tial and patient trial, l*r tli* r**ult* he entertain* n* ap
prehension.
Up to the time ot this discovery, the undersigned had
well studied the origin, progress, and character ol 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 id
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 him sell that his
remedy will cure this most painful disease, when all oth
ers have failed, and that he shall have been an humble in
strument in the hands of God, of relieving the human
family of a vast amount ofsuffering.

Col. A. B. Kagan —Sin : It affords me great pleasure
to be able to hear testimony to the efficacy and virtues
of Dr. de Graffcnrieds Rheumatic Liniment.
I have been sorely alllicted for the last six years with,
what I believed to he, 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, 1 had an attack as violent if
not moreso than usual, which prostrated lire for about
three weeks; on your reccommendation 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 entirely relieved (and so contin
ue) of all soreness, pains, and the swelling’s reduced,
with the-use of less titan 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.

Dr. de Graffenried — Dlaf. Sir For the last twelve
years 1 have suffered very severely with the Rheumatism,
having been nearly one fourth of the time confined to
mybedby.it. I have had the ho-t 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 the White Sulphur and
Hot Springs in Virginia, to little purpose. After niv return
home, Iso far recovered,as to be aide to walk about a lit
tle. About six weeks since, I had a very severe attack
which again confined me to my bed, I was in great pain
andscarely able to move my limbs, when a friend of
mine called and informed mo 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 inforniinigyou 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

Dr. De Graffenried—Dear sir: I take pleasure in giv
ing you the particulars of my affliction by, and relieffrom
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
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
1 ever was, and have continued so to this time.
Yours, truly, L. C. MORTON.

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. I was taken down in January last, with
a violent attack of Rheumatism in nearly all my joints
so badly, that I could not pul! of my shoes without aid ;
nor could I ascend or descend steps, or pull off my
clothes without assistance. My right arm and hand
were nearly useless ; the fingers contracted and swollen;
the right knee swollen and stiffened, so that I could not
l end it but very little. Up to the Ist of April, I was all
the time in suffering and pain ; I rubbed with your Rheu
matic Liniment my limbs three times, and was tho 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. I could also use, open and bend my fing
ers, wicli was an imbossibility the day before. I rote in
the morning from my bed entirely relieved of pain. 1
used one bottle and an eight ounce vial of your Rheu
matic Liniment, and in ten jlays, I was relieved. I
would not have been in the condition which 1 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
in constant pain and misery! I consider your Rheumat
ic Liniment, tho most valuable medicine iD the world. I
am, dear sir, your friend.

Philadelphia, Feb. 1 1350.
Dr. de Graffenried—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, 1 was induced to try a bottle of it; and
alter 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
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 lam
happy to say relieved me in a very short time. I can re
commend its use to all persons affected in like manner.
Very respectfully, F. S. C HAPMAN.
I can testify to the efficacy of Dr. de Graffenried’s
Rheumatic Liniment in the ease of Mr. F. S. Chapman,
as it came under my immediate observation.
October 13,1849. R. A. WARE, M. D.
Dear sir—Sometime in January last, Mrs. McKee
was taken very ill with Inflammatory Rheumatism in her
shoulder joints, extending to her elbow joint and
arm, which disabled her from using her arm almost en
tirely ; and from the pain, want of sleep, and great rest
lessness, for not less than six weeks, I was induced by
my friend, Mr. Luke Reed, to cal! on you 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 lour 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 oihers.
Dr. E. L. de Graffenried. 11. C. MeKEE.
Columbus, Oct. 19th 1849
Dr. de Graffenried—Dear sir: I take 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 fourth of
a'bottle oi your Rheumatic Liniment, which relieved
him entirely. I consider it a most valuable remedy for
the cure of Rheumatism.

No. 120, Arch St., Philadelphia.
Their power over the above disrates is not excell
ed. if equalled , by any other preparation in the
United Stales, as the cures attest. , in many eases
after skilful physicians had failed.
These Bitters are worthy tire attention of invalids.—
Possessing great virtues in the rectification of diseases of
tlie Liver and leaser glands, exercising the most search
ing powers in weakness and affections of the digestive
organs, they are, withal .safe, certain and pleasant.
Read and be Convinced.
Chav Robinson, Esq., Easton, Md., in a letter to Dr.
Jackson, Jan. 9, 1850, said—
“My wife and myself have received more benfit from
your medicine than any ether we have ever taken for the
Dyspepsia and Liver disease.”
“The Tenth Legion,” published at Woodstock, Va.,
January 10, 1850, said—
“A Great Medicine.”
“We have uniformly refrained from recommending to
the public any of the various patent medicines of the
day, unless thoroughly convinced of their value.—
Among those we consider worthy of notiue is the
German Bitters, invented by I)r. Hood and, and
prepared by Dr. Jackson, in Philadelphia. One in
stance in particular, in which the superior virtues
of this medicine have been tested, has fallen under
our observation. During the last summer, a son of
Mr. Abraham Crabill, of this county, was vtry se
riously afllicted with Liver Complaint, and after trying
in vain various remedies, he purchased a bottle of the
Bitters, and after using it, was so- much relieved of
his distressing malady, that he procured another bot
tle, and is restored entirely to health.”
Read Further a Fete Facts.
The “Philadelphia Democrat,” the leading Ger
man journal of Philadelphia. The editor said, No
vember 24th :
“We again call attention to the removal of tire
German Medicine Store, the principal depot for the
sale of Dr. Iloofland’s German Bitters, from 278
Race to 120 Arch street, one door below Sixth.—
Owing to the increased demand for this medicine,
and for the accommodation of his numerous patients,
Dr. Jackson has been compelled to occupy a larger
store. We wish him success in his new quarters:
he is deserving it The Bitters Mixture is without
doubt the greatest medicine extant for diseases of the
Liver and Bowels. A stubbern ease of Chronic
Diarrhoea has come under our notice, wherein th
patient had exhausted the Materia Medicas of tli
different schools of medicine with no apparent benefit.
He was induced to use these bitters-; and a few bottles
of them have entirely cured him. Many such eases
we could refer to. We hope our readers will recol
lect this great restorative, should they be so unfortu
nate as to require its use. Dr. Jackson possfsses the
original unpublished receipt of Dr. Ilooflaid, and’
lie prepares this medicine with care. Tlusc pur
chasing should call at his store, or see that his name
is written upon the wrapper outside, and blown in the
bottle, as imitations of good article's are common.”
Judge M. M. Noah, a gentleman with great rei
entifie and literary attainments, said in his “New
York Weekly Messenger,” January 6, 1S50:
11 Dr. Hoof.and's German Ritters. —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 Hoofland,
Professor to the University of Jena, Private Physician
to tlie Kingof Prussia, and one of the greatest medi
cal writers Germany has ever produced, lie was
emphatically the enemy of humbug , and therefore a
medicine of which he was the inventor and endorser
may be perfectly relied on. He 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 feed 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. HOOFLAND’S GERMAN BITTERS.
“ It is seldom that we recommend what are termed
Patent Medicines to the confidence and patronage of
our readers; and, therefore, when we recommend Dr.
Hoofiand’s German Bitters, wc 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 guility
race of mischief, but of a medicine long established,
universally prized, and which has met the heaity ap
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 tlie practice of the
regular Physicians of Philadelphia than all other nos
trums combined, 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 tlie lives of those who are innocently de
ceived.
Look well to the Marks of the Genuine.
They have the written signature of O. M. JACK
SON upon the wrapper, and the name blown in tlie
bottle, without which they are spurious.

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 arc able lecturers and tire best ol
teachers.
Those who contemplate our geographical position,
and the extent of our population, can have no doubt as
to the eligibility of our situation for an enterprise of the
kind. As to health, including all seasons of the year,
wc deny that any other'city has moke.
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 We.-t and
South should certainly educate themselves at a school
whose Faculty are particularly acquainted with those
diseases.
That the public may he satisfied of the permanency ot
this school, we feel it our duty to state, that the Trus
tees and Faculty form a unit in action, which augurs
well ibrits future success ; and that the peculiar interna!
organization which connects them, cannot he interrupted.
