[From the American Sentinel.] TOO MANY CHILDREN. •’ What immense satisfaction it is to a hun gry man, to eat a good supper!” exclaimed Mr. Moses Strong, as he arose from the table, and surveying the rotundity of his stomach complacently, walked leisurely into his sitting room. The fire in the grate was warm and bright, the centre table was provider! with the even ing papers, and everything looked inviting. Mr. Moses Strong settled himself in his easy chair, thankful that he had such com forts to command. “ Bridget,” said he, “ put on a little more coal here ; and don’t disturb me again this evening.” Mrs. Moses Strong and the children were out of town, and Mr. Moses Strong, who was a great lover of peace, and a great hater of children, was not sorry. “ I almost wish f was a bachelor again,” he said, as he warmed his shins by the fire, and opened his favorite paper. “ The selfish old dogs do take comfort, after all! No wife to cross them with a will of her own; no crying evils in the shape of—but children are some comfort, notwithstanding. Ilem! What’s this ?” It Was a paragraph about a man whose wife had lately blessed him with three little prodigies of plumpness at a single birth! Mr. Moses Strong smiled with great satis faction. “ I am not certainly tho most unfortunate husband in the world!” he mentally exclaim ed. “ But”—a shadow crossed his brow— “ if Mrs. Strong should—heavens ! I tremble while I think of it! Three at a birth !” Mr. Moses Strong lighted a cigar and smoked energetically. As he smoked he thought. At the end of half an hour, he threw the stub of his cigar into the grate, and exclaimed— “ If Mrs. Strong should!—” At that moment the bell rang. “ I hope it’s nobody that wants to soomo!” thought Mr. Strong. “It is such a comfort to be alone!” “ If ye plaze, sir, there’s a woman wants to see you,” said Bridget, putting her head into tho room. “ A woman—!” She stood before him—a tail, dark-featured female, in faded, scanty habiliments, and w ith an infant in her arms. Mr. Strong shuddered, for this woman not only carried a child, but she was followed by a troop of children, who thronged the door wav, and showed their bashful faces to his astonished eyes. “Ileaveus!—Mrs. Moody, what is this?” “ Mr. Strong,” exclaimed the w oman, in a broken voice, “ I am an injured, down-trod den woman !” “ Dear me, Mrs. Moodv ! what is tho trou ble ?” Mrs. Moody sat down, and with her troop of infantry drawn up in full force behind her chair, produced a handkerchief and therewith wiped her eyes and the baby’s nose with great deliberation. “ Mr. Strong, lam desperate ! My heart is broken, Mr. Strong! 1 should sink into the earth this moment, if my dear children didn't support me”— “ Dear me! I thought you had to support them,” interrupted Mr. Strong. Mrs. Moody burst into tears. M hereupon the baby began to cry. As if this had been a concerted signal for action, the infantry in the rear commenced a vigorous attack upon the citadel of Mr. Strong’s heart, and kept up a continual fire of sobs and explosive cries for a space of five minutes. Mr. Strong, instead of displaying the white Hag—his handkerchief- —as one might have expected, boldly began to fortify his position. First, with an eye to his breast works, he buttoned bis coat; thon, by way of creating a diversion in his favor, he poked the fire energetically; and finally, as a last resort he thrust his fingers into his ears. Tho firing ceased, and silence being restored, Mr. Strong manifested a willingness to treat with the enemy, by saying— “ Mrs. Moody, what do you want of mo?” “ You are a father !” sobbed Mrs. Moody. “ A cs,” sighed Moses Strong. “ Then you can sympathize with mo!” “Alas, yes! How many have you, Mrs. Moody ? Seven! Poor woman !” “ Mv husband,” said Mrs. Moody, her sobs bursting forth afresh, “ has abused me shame fully! Do accuses mo of having too many children !” “ Poor man !** “He is a wretch f At if a porton eould havo too many children ! To-night Mr. Moody was in worse humor than ever. 110 called my darlings brats. Think ofit! Brats!” Saving which, Mrs. Moodv lot off another signal of distress, and a moment after, Mr. Strong was compelled again to resort to the exceedingly original and ingenious plan of defence, which consisted in holding his fing ers in his ears. “I couldn’t stand it no longer!” pursued Airs. Moody. “ I couldn’t have my darlings called bral* ! I knew you were a kind man, for both me and my husband have worked for you faithfully—and I resolved to como to you—” “ What for f” “To make a sacrifice! To give into your keeping what is not safe in mine”— “ What ?” cried Moses Strong. “ My children ! all my children !” exclaim ed Mrs. Moody, with a gusli of feeling. “ I give you the darlings—baby and all!” The eyes of Mr. Moses Strong rose to the ceiling, and Ins jaw sank upon his breast. He was onlv able to gasp— “ Mrs. Moodv!” “ Yes —all of them!” repeated the mag nanimous woman. “ I could not make the sacrifice to any man but you ! nor to you, if I wasn't tired of life. Take the darlings— deliver them from the hands of their father, and I shall die contented! G’eorgie, go to the gentleman.” “No, for heaven’s sake!” shouted Mr. Moses Strong, wildly, as if Mrs. Moody’s seven children had been seven mad dogs. “ Keep ’em off, woman, or I’ll not be respon sible for the damages! I don’t want ’em! 1 won’t have ’em, the hk ati.” Tho horror Mr. Strong must have felt at the bare thought of such an addition to his family, alone can excuse the abrupt language in which he indulged. Luckily, at that mo ment, tho door bell rang, and in rushed no less a personage than the father of the seven children himself. “Poor fellow! dear Mr. Moody!” cried Moses Strong—“ do take away your family, er I shall have fits!” “ That’s what I came for!” growled Mr. M oody. “Jane!” And the indignant father of seven pointed significantly at the door. With marvelous celerity, Mrs. Moody changed her attack to a precipitate retreat, and drawing oft’ her forces, marched silently through the door. “Wrttakodman!” esekwned Mose* Strong. the moment he was alone with the father of seven. “Yea, I arn wretched!” growled Mr. Moody. “ That woman is drunk, Mr. Strong.” Whew!” “ And whenever she gets tight, she fancies 1 abuse the children, and wants to give cm away!” . , “ To think,” muttered Mr. Strong, witu a ghastly smile, “ that she wanted to give them all to me /” The evening, which with Mr. Strong began in comforts, ended in misery. After the Moody family had departed, Mr. Strong’s imagination peopled his house with children, all his own; and falling asleep, he dreamed j that he was father to whole armies of babies,j urchins, and romping girls, and that entire villages were peopled with his progeny. When he awoke, however, such was his relief to find that till this was but a horrid dream, and that he was the father of only five, after all, he became at once resigned to bis lot, and resolved never to wish himsc-if fatherless again. Jenny Lind’s Feature*. We found, after Jenny Lind had gone from the city, on her first visit, that we retained no definite remembrance of her features. We had nothing by which we could assure our selves whether one likeness was more true than another, and, indeed, no one of them— not even a daguerreotype—was reasonably like our feeling of what a likeness should be. We determined, this time, first to study the lineaments, by themselves, and then, if possi ble, to see how so marvelous a transforma tion was brought about, as is necessary to present to the eve her frequent looks of in spiration and even of exalted beauty. Our close scrutiny satisfied us, that it is only by looking at her features separately, that any degree of truthfulness can be found in the daguerreotype likenesses which have been published. The entire look, taken in connec tion with the rest of her figure, though she only stands before the audience, waiting the completion of the prelude to her song, repre sents a totally different image from the one your mind lias received by looking at her picture. It is fortunate that it is so—care less as she is about letting anybody picturo her as he pleases. She comes to every eye with anew impression. All the engravings in the world do not anticipate for you any portion of the novelty of a first sight of her. So, as long as she sings, there will he no ex haustion to the freshness of her impression upon audiences. Heavy as Jenny Lind's features are, there is no superfluity, in repose, which does not turn out to have been very necessary to the expression in excitement. That so massive a nose can have the play of the thin nostrils of a race-horse, is one of the startling dis coveries you make, in watching her as she sings. Her eyes are, perhaps, beautiful at all times—and it struck ks as their peculiarity that they never become staggered with her excitement. From the highest pitch of rapt bewilderment for the listener, those large steadfast eyes return to their serene, lambent, fearless earnestness —as if there sat the angel entrusted with the ministry she is exercising, and heaven lay in calm remembrance behind them. And the same rallying power is ob servable in the action of the under lip, which contorts with all the pliability and varying beauty, of the mouth of the Tragic Muse, and, from its expressive curves, resumes its dignity of repose with an ease and apparent unconsciousness of observation, that is well worthy of study by player or sculptor. It is curious, however, in all the inspired changes of this mobile physiognomy, how its lead ing imprint of an utter simplicity of good ness, is never lost. She does not sublimate away from it. Through tho angel of rapt music, as through tho giver of queenly boun ties, is seen honest Jenny Lind. She looks forever true to the ideal for which the world of common hearts has consented to love her. Home Journal. Fragments of Thought. BY CAItLETON SEYMOUR m’kEE. Human nature has strange vagaries. Now wo are satiated with pleasure, anon we are borne down with pain. To-day we tire of idleness, yesterday we repined at too much labor. What gives us joy at present may become grievous in the future, and what we fancy a bitter evil may assume in time the form of a surpassing good. So with suffer ing and enjoying, thinking good and thinking evil, going astray, repenting, amending or falling, we struggle through this varied life and sleep at last to awake in an existence of which wo have hero but a dim comprehen sion. I imagine that those who feel deeply and lastingly, are less apt to speak of their dear est hopes, their profoundest imaginings, than those whose spirits are less sensitive and no ble in their apprehensions. There are many feelings of tlie heart that language fails in ex pressing, except, perchance, to those having similar impulses. How much of human thought and action is an impenetrable secret, which can only be revealed at the tribunal of the Almighty Ma ker! Liberty, without religion, degenerates into the oppression of evil, and slavery with it be comes freedom. He is the miserable slave who succumbs to vile falsehood, while man may shackle him in vain, who has learned the Everlasting Truth. It seems very strange that men make so many efforts to gain the treasures of earth, which all perish, while few spend half so much time or strength or energy in seeking for the wealth whic h is inexhaustible. To win fortune they will risk life and happiness, while to smooth their earthly journey and win the peace of Heaven, they can hardly be prevailed on to make an effort. The beauties of Nature, the bounties of Heaven are almost thrown away upon the discontented. Ten thousand flower* are blooming around them, yet they- forget the splendor, and refuse to enjoy the perfume of these, because, mayhap, some ungracious weed has grown at hand. The sun shines in beauty, but they murmur that a few clouds occasionally obscure its beams. Prosperity smiles upon them, yet when some misfortune befalls, they complain of their unhappy desti ny. Even when all around is bright, they wish for more than belongs to mortality, with out often looking for that cloudless glory* which can shine but among the blessed. To enjoy is the true philosophy of life. But men mistake enjoyment, some deeming it an undefinable state, which shall come hereafter, others considering the present the sole time for which to live, disregarding the coming future. So both err, not feeling that virtue conduces to happiness in every estate and under every difficulty, not only opera ting on the present or the future, but shedding the radiance of joy over both. Hence some destroy the present pleasure by apprehending future pain, while others, immersed in the depths of bliss now, do not remember the . long, the eternal future which awaits them. Beantilul and Affecting Incident. The Paris correspondent of the Sfc Louis Republican, in his letter of the 2d ult., says: A young man recently made his escape from the galleys at Toulouse. He was strong and vigorous, and soon made his way across the country and escaped pursuit He arrived the next morning before a'cottage in an open field, and stopped to beg something to eat, and concealment while he reposed a little.— But he found the inmates of the cottage in the greatest distress. Four little children sat trembling in a corner; their mother was weeping and tearing her hair, and the father walking the floor in agony. The galley slave asked what was the matter, and the father replied that they were that morning to be turned out of doors, because they could not pay their rent. “You see me driven to despair,” said the father, “my wife and chil dren without food or shelter, and 1 without the means to provide any for them.” The convict listened to this tale with tears and sympathy, and then said—“l will give 3-011 the means. I have but just escaped from tho galleys; whoever secures and takes back an escaped prisoner, is entitled to a reward of fifty francs. How much does }'our rent amount to ?” “Forty francs,” answered the father. “Well,” said the other, “put a cord round my bod}-, I will follow you to the city, they will recognize me, and you will get fifty francs for bringing me back.” “No, never!” eiclaimed the astonished listener; “my chil dren should starve a dozen times before I would do so base a thing.” The generous young man insisted, and declared, at last, that ho would go and give himself up, if the father would not consent to take him.— After a long struggle, the latter yielded, and taking hia preserver b} T the arm, led him to the city and to the mayor’s oflice. Evory body was surprised that a little man like the father had been able to capture such a strong young fellow; but the proof was before them. The fifty francs were paid, and the prisoner sent back to the galle}*s. But after he was gone the poor father felt so badl} T ANARUS, that he asked a private interview of tho mayor, to whom he told the whole story. The mayor was so much affected that ho not only- added fifty francs more to the father’s purse, but wrote immediately to the minister of justice, begging the noble youngprisoner’s release.— The minister examined into the affair, and finding that it was a comparatively small offence which had condemned the young man to the galleys, and that he had already served out half his time, ordered his release. Is not the whole incident beautiful? All Sorts of Paragraphs. Off On one occasion, at tho table of an old lady who detested everything bookish as heartily as he detested everything vulgar, a pedagogue asked to be helped to some sauce. “Sogje what ?” asked the old lady. “Some sauce, if you please ma’am.” Upon which she unceremoniously passed him the salt dish. “I did not *ay salt, but sauce,” exclaimed the schoolmaster. “Dear me! 1 never have salts on the table!” replied the simple-minded woman. “1 give ’em to my children—” “Excuse me, ma’am,” interrupted the ped agogue, “bpc 1 said sauce —what }-ou have in that earthen dish.” “Oh, you mean sass ! Why on ’artli don’t ye talk so’s folks can understand 2 Here’s sass, es }-e want some!” It sometimes happens that a confirmed bachelor, appakextlv, will pass by fifty tempting chances, will turn a cold and pas sionless look upon the “brightest beauties of the day,” and vet, will bo “caught at last, by some plain, and to the general world, unat tractive woman, in whom 110 will discover a divinity!” It is well that it is so. It is well that people see with different e}-es. Beauty is in the mind, in the sympathies, in tho asso ciations, and we are often reminded of tiie lines of the old poet— “ What care I how fair she bo If she be not fair to mo.” Os “Mista Jcf’son, can you deform me de moanin’ ob dese Rills ob Mortality wot de helf offisur and other functionmaries brings in agin de city mose ebry fortnight ?” “Bills of Mortality? Bills—why, yes, Mista Abrum—’spose it’s de bills ob de skeet urish wot bite so mortally dis seethun!” “L-l-l-10-look hea, Mista Jes ’son, y r oor in tellimigence am benoef de milishy. Yoor idees alwus descends in a tan gum from de subjeck. Now, y r ou must know dat we owe our great Misaus Natur’ fur ourlife, our brotf, and all tings—” “N-n-n-no-now, Mista Abrum, dis darkey neberhab any such Missus—” “Ceasth! Mista Jef’son—ceasth your ig nomus obserwashuns. Every- mortal man owe his life to Natur’; and wen he dies, lie pays dis debt. Den it is charged obr to de city-, by* de helf offisurs, and corrinurs— dey brings in dese Bills ob Mortality, and de mare squares de account.” Off Brevity is tho soul of wit. Always use it when visiting an editor, or communica ting with him. C tf Some persons who have returned from California, with empty pockets, profanely call that auriferous country “Hell Dorado.” Off A friend of ours sayshe is getting weak er and weaker every day. He has got so now, that he can’t raise five dollars. Off Mrs. Swisshelm gives her sex a hard run occasionally. Here is her last—“l wish, Sallv,” said Jonathan, “that you were locked up in my arms and the key- was lost.” Os “Dr. Parr,” said a young student once to the old linguist, “let’s you and I write a book.” “Very well,” replied the doctor, “put in all that I know, and all that you don’t know, and we’ll make a big one.” Os The man who was “stage struck” has recovered nine shillings in an action brought against the stage driver. Os The Sacramento Transcript, in speak ing of a soiree given by the Mayor, says: “The Mayor of the city-, the ladies, &c. were appropriately and elegantly drunk, and the party separated in fine cheer.” Off The Poetry of Medicine is, to scien tifically- “make way” with the hypochondriac husband of some wealthy woman, and mar ry her a month afterward. Off A modern poet thus criticises some church-going people: “Attend your chureh,” the parson eri*s, To church each fair one goe— The old go there to close their eves, The young to *ye th*ir clothes.’ To a man of deep emotions, nature is a mirror full of shifting images; to an un moved one, only a window, through which he can see what is going on around him. Night keeps men alive without fire, candles, meat, drink, or clothing; all she asks is a bed. The poorest man is happy- as a king as soon as he lies down, and fortunate ly, he has to stand tin only- half his time. Dr. dcGRAFFENRIED’S CELEBRATED RHEUMATIC LINIMENT. In* introducing this medicine to the people of the Unit ed States, for sale, tho proprietors beg leave to submit the following statement of Dr. de Graffeuried,its discov erer and inventor: The undersigned frankly states that he has prescribed this medicine lor the last twenty-two years, in all forms 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 ol this most p*i 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 instance has it come to his knowl edge, of its having failed to effect a cure when persereved in. Many ol the cases were from fourto ten years stand ing ; and what may appear yet more remarkable and *x traordinary.is, that when the patient ha* been once re lieved, the disease permanently cured, remain* so, not a solitary instance having been reported to bun of its re turn . All he would ask for this remedy i* a fair, impar tial and patient trial, for the results he entertains n ap prehension. Up to the tim* of this discovery, the undersigned had well studied the origin, progress, and character of thi* di* ease,and i* well assured, had consulted every author #n its treatment, who had written or been translated inte the English language, and had used all the remedies es any notoriety then in voguo with the profession, with however, very rarely any relief to poor suffering hu manity. It has baffled the skill and seienco of the most eminent Physicians and Surgeons of our own, and of every other country. But the undersigned flatters himself that his I 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 of suffering.

Jones 1 IT*tel, Philadelphia, March 3d, 1159 Csl. A. B. llagan —Sir : It affords me great pleasure to be able to hear testimony to the efficacy anu virtues of Dr. de Grajf'enrieds Rheumatic Liniment. I have been sorely afflicted forthc last six years with, what I believed to be, and what eminent Physicians of tins city pronounced. Rheumatic gout,forsoveral 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 *o than usual, which prostrated me for about three weeks; on your reccomrnendation I commenced th* 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 ail soreness, pains, and the swelling’s reduced, with the use of less than one bottlo. 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 most cheerfully recommend its use to all who may lie afflicted with it. Respectfully Yours, N. W. BRIDGES. Jones’ Hotel. Baltimore March, 30 1350. Dr. de Grtffcnricd — Dear lr For the last twelve voars I have suffered very severely with tho 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 havo 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. Aitcrmy return home, I *0 far recovered, as to be able to walk about a lit tle. About six weeks since, I had a very severe attack which again confined me to my bed, I was in great pain andacarely able to move my limbs, when a friend of mine called and informed me that you had discovered an infallible remedy, and had cured many, and amongst them, one of my friends, and showed me a letter from him stating the fact. I was induced to try your Rheu matic Linament, and takopleasure in infonninigyou that in less than twenty four hour* from the first application l wus perfectly free from pain, and continue so, up to this time. lam now ablo to attend to business, and fondly hope all those afflicted, as I have been, may he as speedily relieved, as I have boon with your medecino.— Wishing you all the Blessings yon deserve Dear sir. Your Greateful and Ob’tserv’t GEO. WARDS WORTH. Columbus Ga.. Oet. 20, 18)9 Dr. D* Graflenried—Dear sir: I take pleasure in giv ing you the particulars of my affliction by, and relief from Rheumatism. During the spring of 1844 I was afflicted with a very severe attack of Inflammatory Rheumatism. I employed all tho most celebrated remedies then known and used in similar cases, aided by medical advice,until September, 1845, with no satisfactory result whatever. 1 was then induced, by a rheumatic acquaintance, to try your Liniment, as something new, and which had cured him ; and in one month, from the time I commenced th* application, I was well, and clear of the Rheumatism as I ever was, and have continued no to this time. Yours, truly, L. C. MORTON. FROM COL. A. K. AYER. Dr. E. L. de Graflenried—Learning that yon are about to manufacture for the public, your valuable Rheumatic Liniment, I 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 evory joint was en larged, and the body otherwise emaciated. By the use of four or five bottles, in three weeks he was relieved en tirely from pain Cilumbus 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 me speedy relief. I was taken clown in January last, with a violent attack of Rheumatism in nearly all my joints so badly, that I could not pull of my shoes without aid ; nor could I ascend or descend steps, or pull off my clothes without assistance. My right arm and hand wore nearly useles* : the fingers contracted and swollen; the right knee swollen and stiffened, so that I eould not bend it but very little. Up to the Ist of April, I was all the time in suffering and pain ; I rubbed with your 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 day, I eould not havo done if my life had de pended on it. 1 could also use, open and bend my fing ers, with 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 1 had been, ten days before I called on you, for any arnout of money which eould be 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, dear ir, your friend. J. 11. SMITH. Columbus, Nov. 1, 1,349. Dear Sir—My negro woman Patience, a cook, had a atilff neck from a painful Rheumatic affection, for six or seven years, and could not turn her neck except with tha body. I was induced to purchase a bottle of your Lin iment, which was applied in August or September of IS4B. One bottle entirely relieved her and she now has the upo of her neck as well as ever she had ; and up to this tune, it has not returned. GARLAND B. TERRY. Philadelphia, Feb. 1 1850. Dr. dc 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 bottie of it; and after three days, I was so much relieved as to be able to leave the house and attend to business. I have perfect ly recovered from the disease, and would cheerfully re commend the Liniment to all those who are afflicted, GEORGE HOOD, 27 Powell street. Columbus Ga., Oct. 13,1849. Dr. E. L. de Graflenried—Dear sir: Agreeable to your request, I give my testimonial as to the virtue of your Liniment in the cure of Rheumatism. Being at tacked in one joint of my finger, last winter, with acute Rheumatism, and haying used many of the unnumbered prescriptions for its cure, with but little benefit, I made application of two bottles of your Liniment, which I am happy to say relieved me in a very short time. I can re commend its use to all persons affected in like manner. Very respectfully, F. S. CHAPMAN. I can testify to the-efficacy of Dr. de Gratfonried’s Rheumatic Liniment in the case of Mr. F. S. Chapman, as it came under mv immediate observation. October 13,1849. R. A. WARE, M. D. Dear sir—Some time 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 iuduced by my friend, Mr. Luke Reed, to call on you for a bot tle of your Liniment, and by using half the bottle, she was entirely relieved, and the relief was manifest orsen 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. H. C. McKEE. Columbus. Oct. 19th 1849 Dr. de Graflenried—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 of your Rheumatic Liniment, which relieved him emirel v. I consider it a most valuable remedy for the cure of Rheumatism. RANDOLPH L. MOTT.

The editor said, No vember 24th : “We again call attention to the remeval of the German Medicine Store, the principal depot for the sale of Dr. JTooflnnd's German Bitters, froir. STS Race to 120 Arch street, one door below Sixth.— Owing to the increased demand for this medicine, and for the accommodation of his numerou* patients, Dr. Jackson has been compelled to occupy a larger store. We wish him success in his new quarters ; he is deserving it The Bitterr Mixture is without doubt the greatest medicine extant for diseases of the Liver and Bowels. A stubborn case of Chronie Diarrhoea has come under our notice, wherein the patient had exhausted the Materia Medieas es the different schools of medicine with no apparent benefit, lie was induced to use these bitters, and a few bottles of them have entirely cured him. Many such cases we could refer to. We hone our readers will recol lect this great restorative, should they bs so unfortu i nate as to require its use. Dr. Jackson possesses tlia j 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 the 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 fi>, 1850 : “Dr. Iloofland's German Bitters. — l sere is a pre paration which the leading presses in the Union ap pear to b* unanimous in recomending, and th* rea son is obvious. It is made after a prescription furnished by one of the most celebrated physician* of modern time*, th* lnt* 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. lie was emphatically the enemy of humbug, and therefor* a medicine of which he was the inventor and endorser may b# perfectly relied on. II 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 tha 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 th* article to ail afflicted.” More Evidence. Tit* “Philadelphia Saturday Gazett*,” tha best family newspaper published in th* United States, the editor says of DR. HOOFLAND’S GERMAN BITTERS. “ It is seldom that we recommend what arc termed Patent Medicines to the confidence and patronage of our readers: and, therefore, when we recommend Dr. Iloofiand’s German Bitters, we wish it to be distinct ly understood that we are not speaking of the nos trums ofthe 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 the 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 bo administered to female or infant with safety and reliable benefit, at any time. Beware of Counterfeits. Tiiis 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 ceived. Look well to the Marks of the Genuine. They have ♦he written signature of C. M. JACK SON upon the wrapper, and the name blown in the bottle, without which they are spurious.
