BECKWITH’S ANTI-DYSPEPTIC
PILLS.
THE ANTI-DYSPEPTIC PILLS have
been successfully employed in almost
every variety of functional disorder of the Sto
mach, Bowels, Liver, and Spleen; such as
heart burn, acid eructations, nausea, head-ache,
pain and distension of the stomach and bowels,
colic, Jaundice, flatulence, habitual costivencss,
loss of appetite, sick head-ache, &c. &c. They
are a comfortable Aperient for females during
pregnancy and subsequent confinement, reliev
ing sickness .at the stomach, head-ache, heart
burn and many other incidental nervous affec
tions. Literary men, students and most other
persons of sedentary habits, find them very con
venient. Those who indulge too freely in the
pleasures of the table, find speedy relief from
the sense of oppression and distention which
follows, by taking the Pills. Those who are
drinking Mineral waters, and particularly from
Southern climates, and Ague and Fever dis
tricts-, will find them a valuable adjunct. Those
who are exposed to the vicissitudes of weather,
on voyages or journeys, can take them at all
times with perfect safety. They seldom or ne
ver produce sickness at the stomach or griping.
In full doses, they are a most valuable, safe and
efficacious Anti-Bilious Medicine, but contain
Mercury in no form whatever.
The medicine now offered to the public is a
composition, the result of no hasty and imper
fect conclusion, but of niuch careful and scien
tific observation, by a Southern Physician of
established reputation and long experience; and
it is believed, that few articles of a popular
character, have, in any country, been intro
duced with higher claims to public confidence.
The accompanying certificates are signed by
gentlemen of the highest respectability, and
known throughout this country.
From, Governor Iredell.
August 21st, 1834.
Dr, Beckwith’s Anti-dyspeptic Pills have
been used in my family, which is a large one,
with the most beneficial effects. A number of
my friends who have been afflicted with Dys
pepsia and other disorders of the stomach, have j
spoken to me in strong terms of the relief
they experienced from this remedy. Without
the evidence I have received from others, my
intimate knowledge of the professional and
private character of Dr. Beckwith, for the last
‘2O years, justifies me in declaring, that he would
give no assurances of facts of his own experi
ence, or of professional deductions, of which he
was not pei fectiy confident, on which the public
might not safely rely.
JAS. IREDELL.
' ' ’
From his Honor, Henry Potter, Judge of the U.
S. Court, for the District of North Carolina.
Fayetteville, August 16, 1831.
, For some ten or twelve years past, I have been
in the habit of using Dr. Beckwith’s Anti-dys
peptic Pills in my family, and consider them so
valuable a domestic medicine, that I never suf
fer my stock to be exhausted. I have used them
With good effect in dyspeptic cases, under va
rious modifications ; and have found them effi
cacious in relieving from sick head-ache, and
from all the usual symptoms of a functional de
rangement of the viscera. As an aperient, they
are excellent. I have long had the pleasure of
an intimate acquaintance with the inventor of
these Pills. H’ is a gentleman of talents, in
tegrity and worth, and he ranks high in the
science of Medicine, and the healing art. His
certificate,therefore, as to the properties and ef
fects of the Pills may be confided in.

SOUTHERN MAGAZINE.
A Journal of Literature, Arts and Sciences.
Willi much diffidence, the subscriber
yields to the urgent recommendations ol
a number of his friend:., in offering to the en
\ ttrely unoctipicd community of the South, the
publication ol a.monthly periodical under the
t^e ‘- He i s to ° well acquainted with
the ill-success hitherto closing all similar under
takings, not to anticipate considerable difficulty
and opposition. The truth is not to be dis
guised, however inexpedient its expression by
an applicant for public favor, that there pre
vails amongst us a censurable, and as many
are disposed to think, an almost insuperable in
diliereu.ee towards the cultivation of a purely
democratic literature. The bold and haughty
independence we assume and maintain on all
other points, if in this respect it does not shrink
from a competition with, is at least satisfied
under an indolent reliance upon the taste and
talent ol others. Circumstances, moreover,
have contributed to excuse, if not to favor this
supineness. We shall not, we trust, be accused
of presumption on our own part, or of disre
pect to our predecessors,, in saying, that where
in some cases, the latter have too largely drawn
upon the intelligence and leisure of itheir read
ers, and thus contracted the circle of their pat
ronage, they have in others, with an over-san
guine anticipation, omitted the nocessary pre
parations to ensure a vigorous and durable
prosecution of their undertaking. SVe have a
painlul and mortifiying illustration of the form
er error in the late premature discontinuance
of one of the ablest periodicals of the country —
and the inadequacy of unassisted individual en
terprize to supply even the limited demand it
met with, not merely in the quantity, but par
ticularly in the quality and the variety required,
has been too vv'ell tested by every successive
and irretrievable failure heretofore.
The work now proposed, is happily free from
either of the dangers referred to. Entirely of
a miscellaneous character, it will be addressed
to every variety of taste, without exacting from
its readers any farther attention than what their
ordinary leisure hours may afford. At the
same time, it will seduously endeavor to com
mingle in an agreeable and compendious form
the higher branches of the Arts and Sciences,
with the lighter but not less valued eflhsions of
the Taste and the Fancy. And in all this, it
may well hope for success, from the talent and
learning enlisted in its behalf. Delicacy, how
ever, forbids a direct personal reference to the
many distinguished individuals who have taken
an interest in and are pledged towards its sup
port
It is now almost needless to say, that the
SOUTHERN MAGAZINE will consist en
tirely of original matter in prose and verse, (to
whieh contributions are respectfully inviteo,)
embracing all subjects of general interest and
exclusive of controversial divinity and party
politics, accompanied with criticisms upon the
productions of the day, and notices of the most
important passing events. JAMES HAIG.
At a special meeting of the Literary and
Philosophical Society convened on the Bth inst.
a Committee consisting of Thomas S. Grimke,
James H. Smith and-William Peronneau Fin
ley, Esqra. appointed to consider the contem
plated periodical to be edited by Janies Haig,
Esq. a member, presented the following, which
was unanimously adopted:
“The Literary and Philosophical Society of
South Carolina, having been informed that a
monthly periodical embracing general litera
ture and micellaneous information, is contem
plated to be published by Mr Japies Si Burges,
and to be edited by Mr. James Haig—
“Resolved, That the Society regard stich a
work, on account of its miscellaneous charac
ter, as an acquisition to our community, and as
well fitted for the instruction and entertain
ment of its readers.
“Resolved; That the Society approve of the
undertaking—that they consider Mr. Haig as a
suitable person to be its editor, and that it be
recommended to the members of the Society,
and to all others, who may be so disposed, to

our object is to advocate and support to the ex

practised by the Union Party of our State, be
lieving them to the essential to the preservation
of our existence as a nation, and the perpetua
tion of our happiness as a people. Thhsc we
believe to be generally known and understood
by the citizens of our State, and indeed the pro
per limit of a prospectus would preclude their

oa A UTERAUY PAPER To BE PUBLISHED At

BY THOMAS W. WHITE.
TO BE ENTITLED
The Southern Literary Messenger.
TO DE DEVOTED TO EVERT DEPARTMENT OF LITERA
TURE AND TUB FINE ARTS.
IT is a remarable fact, that, in all the Soittli-
ern portion of our Union, there is not OUe
journal of a character exclusively literary.—
Not even does “ the great State” of Virginia
with her two Universities and her three Colle-
quota to the literature ol the day
No one ol us would be willing to admit that
this results from want of literary taste, vet no
one essays to cast ofl the reproach—for reproach
it certainly is, that a department of literature
now occupying so conspicuous a station, should
with us be entirely neglected-
In the annals ol the republic of letters, tho
present maybe distinguished as the era of “pe
riodical literature.” This circumstance, in
truth, constitutes the literary world Emphatical
ly a “republic.” Now, (as ever,) the truly emi
nent occupy the loftiest stations; but now, also
less gifted, though, equally zealous worshiper*
ol the “sacra camenaf are not compelled “to
hide their diminished beads,’’ in the awful preoi
ence of some Magog of literature, who main
tains despotic and undisputed sway over tho
realms of intellect
We shall not discuss the question whether or
not this indicatos a decline of literature. It is;
however, strongly characteristic of the age.—
Mankind are now morfe engaged in the secarch
alter political truth, than in mere literary ele
gancies and refinement. They are occupied iH
discovering their rights: in wresing them from
hands which have so long unrighteously with
held them, and all demonstrating the grand
principle, that they are capable of governing
themselves. They have just arisen from a sleep
of centuries; and, with migjity energy, they ara
bending every thing to this moineutuous’pur-<
pose.
Literary excellence is therefore no longer tha
chief standard of renown. This is not becausa
literary excellence has descended in the scale of
intellectual exertion, but because renown has
uoßv a noble and a loftier incentive. Literature
from, being a queen, has condescendad to be a
handmaid—the handmaid of liberty. But it is
not becausa literature is shorn of her dignity or
of her splendor; but because liberty has assum
ed her thrown high above til other'thrones.
On the mau whose mind is purified from <fr
ror, and raised above prejudice, by ths genial in
fluence of literary pursuits, rests the task of
freeing his fellow mau from the gloomy thral
dom of ignorance, to which tyranny and cupidi
ity have so long and so successfully subjected
him.
To effect this,' he must not hesitate, or be dis
couraged, because he is not in the front rank: ha
should rather exult ip the reflection that he inay
co-operate with master spirits, in the comple
tio of a noble Work; that his labors will go a
long with their, and will aid in accomplishing
the glorious end of ■‘redeeming, regenerating,
and disenthralling” the human race.
Such is now the “prize of the high calling" of
litterature. Such is now the distinguished pre
rogative ofliterav men of every rank.
The periodical press is the lever by which
the mass of society is to be urged to this great re
sult Truth-—science—literature—pre no lon
ger concentrated and shut up in books from all
bitt the favored few. Periodical journals carry
the resuls of philosophical in vestion and of litter
ary research into every walk of life. They placa
them in tlrn hands and before the eyes of the ag
riculturalist, the artizan and the laborer; and
thus invigorate and enlighten.while they refresh
their mind.
Asa literary journal performs so important a
function m the present organization of society,
it behooves him who presumes to undertakespeh
a wot k, to bring to the undurtaing a fixed deter
mination to make it worthy the rank which it
ought to occupy and end which it ought to fulfil.
Such the publisher of “ Tm Southern Liter
art Messenoer can with confidence assert is
the determination with which he regards the en
terprize before him.
If tullents can be commanded by money— and
if unremitting dilligtnce and steady persever
ance on his part will produce their ordinary re
sults, then may he venture to assure all those
whose regard for literature prompt them to lo«k
upon his design with favor that “ The Southern
Literary Messenger” will be worthy of their pa
tronage: ‘ r
1 he Southern Literary .Messenger will em
brace every subject within (he range ofiiterature
and the fine arts; and that the scope of selection
may be as wide as possible, and insure a body of
matter always interesting, the best foreign, and
all the domstie reviews and other periodicals will
be constantly at tha disposal of the editorial de
partment.
In fine, no trouble or expense will be spared *
to render the publication such a one as an en
lightened public will take pleasure in support
ing.

UOOk OUT! LOOkoim ’
II RADED sometime last summer with Col.
William Kerr of Athens, for a yellow Ne
gro Man, known in this city by the name of
Daniel Kelly. Daniel was at the time I traded
for him Runaway—and is still out. All per
sons are requested to let said Negro pass if seen
about the city of Augusta. And the reward of
ferred by Col. Kerr, was withdrawn on the day
of his sale to me. I have been looking daily to
see Daniel, and information reached me to-day
that a certain person known to me had advised
Daniel not to come to me, as it was a plan laid
■to catch him for Col. Kerr. It appears to m«
this good genieman is about th get Limself into
a situation it win cost him some help to get
out, as well as expense. Daniel cannot bo
bought from ms atanv price by said person.
