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 ajid bowels,
colic, Jaundice, flatulence, habitual costiveness,
loss of appetite, sick hedd-ache, &c. &e. Thev
are a comfortable Aperient for females during
pregpnucy 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
follow’s, 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 noform whatever.
The medicine now’ offered to the public is a
composition, the result of no hasty and imper
fect conclusion, but of much 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
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
20 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
w as not pei fectly 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, 1834.
For some ten or twelve years past, I have been
in the habit of using Dr. Beckxvith’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 licad-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. He 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.

TO THE PUBLIC.
THE SUBSCRIBER, having purchased the
Southern Agriculturist from its late Editor
and Proprietor, Mr. John D. Legare, solicits
the support of the friends of Agriculture, and of
the interests connected with it, throughout the
Southern States- He has published this work
for Mr. Legare from its commencement, in the
year 1828, and he is llius practically acquainted
with tho mode in which it should be conducted.
Its publication will be continued on the same
terms and in the same manner as heretofore,
with suck improvements as his experience maj
suggest.
As the Subscriber is solicitous to make this
Journal the vehicle for disseminating useful in
formation, not only with regard to established
systems of Husbandry, but also experimental
efforjs in Agriculture and Horticulture, he in
vites free and unrestrained communications ,
from all persons occupied in these pursuits. .
Let no one imagine that solitary facts or isolated :
experiments are too trivial to be communicated. I
All systematic knowledge is but the aggregate [
of humble particulars; and Science, in every I
department, is brought to perfection, not through I
the instrumentality of a single extraor- j
dinary mind, but the contributions of particu- I
lars by many individuals, and generally after
the lapse of many years. He is desirous, there
fore, to have as many facts to record as can be
furnished ; and from the Planter, who is system
atic in his experimental labors, an account of
his failures as well as of his successful efforts,
will be acceptable. If the last are worthy of
being recorded that they may be imitated, the
first merits to be noted in order to be shunned.
The Subscriber hopes that his appeal to his
fellow-citizens of the South, will not be in vain.
It would be a reproach to our Planters to suffer
this Periodical to meet the fate of the Southern
Review. Os the last it may be justly said, th?.*
it was suffered to fall, when it was not only
rearing for us a well merited fame as a literary
people, but it was also vindicating the Southern
character aud Southern, habits from the unjust
aspersions v-hich have been so liberally bestow
ed upon us out of our section of country
The “ SOUTHERN AGRICULTURIST ”
in some measure supplies the place of the
Southern Review, so far as regards the circum
stances last alluded to. It serves as a Register
not only of methods of Husbandry, but also of
facts relating to our system of Slavery. The
subjects of the discipline, the treatment, the
characters of our Slaves, are fairly suited lo its
pages, and constitute topics as interesting and
important as any which can engage either our
own attention or the attention of those abroad,
who feel a legitimate interest in our concerns.
The Subscriber begs leave, in conclusion, to
remark, that if he had not undertaken to contin
ue the publication of this Periodical, it most
probably, would have either been removed from
our city, or been suspended. Whether it xvill
be in his power to continue it, will depend not
only on thePeciw»i<wyJbutthe Literary Contribu
tions of Southern Planters. He confidently now
leaves this matter their hands, feeling a lull
assurance that there is wanting on the part of
our Planters, neither the liberality nor mental
energies necessary to sustain the Soutnern Agri
culturist.

SOUTHERN MAGAZINE.
■ A .Journal of Literature, Arts and Sciences.
i much diffidence, the subscriber
V V yields to the urgent recommendations of
a number of his friends, in offering to the era
unoevp-ted community of the South, the
I publication of a monthly periodical under the
! llt e ‘ * s to ° acquainted with
I the ill-success hitherto closing all similar under
| taxings, not to anticipate considerable difficulty
j and opposition. The truth is not to be dis
| guised; however inexpedient its expression by
lap applicant for public favor, that there pre-
• vails amongst us a censurable, and as many
I are disposed to think, an almost insuperable in-
I dinerence towards the. cultivation of a purely
j democratic literature. The bold ami haughty-
independence we assume and maintain on all
otliei points, if in this respect it does not shrink
iroin a competition with, is at least satisfied
under an indolent reliance upon the taste and
talent of others. Circumstances, moreover,
have contributed to excuse, if not to favor this
supmencss. We shall not, we trust, be accused
of presumption on our own part, or of disre
pect to our predecessors, in saving, that where
in some cases, the latter have too largely drawn
upon the intelligence and leisure of their read
ers, and thus contracted the circle of their pat
j ronage, they have in others, w’ith an over-san
i guine anticipation, omitted the necessary- pre
i parations to ensure a vigorous and durable
I prosecution of their undertaking. We have a
■ painful and inorlifiying illustratisn of the ibrni
i er error in the late premature discontinuance
lof one-of the ablest periodicals of the country—
• and the inadequacy of unassisted individual en
\ terprixe lo supply even the limited demand it
| met with, not merely in the quantity, but par-
ticulaily in the quality and the variety required,
has been too Well tested by every- successive
I and irretrievable failure heretofore.
The work now proposed, is happily free from
either of the dangers referred to. ’Enlire.lv 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 effusions 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 ba-vo taken
an interest in and are pledged towards its sup
port . ‘
It is now almost needless to sav, that the
SOU THERN MAGAZINE will consist en
tirely of original matter in pros* and verse, (to
whieh contributions are respectfully invited,)
embracing all subjects of general interest and
exclusive of controversial divinity and party
politics, accompanied with criticisms upon the
productions ol the day, and notices of th# most
important passing events. JAMES HAIG.

IT has so long been tha custom of persons an
nouncing their design to establish a Press
to issue a Prospectuscontaining the principles
which they intend to maintain, that a departure
in the present instance would hardly be pardon
ed. ’1 he people have unquestionably the right
to be informed, xvhat path xve design to
travel, and tojiidgc first of its; propriety, and af
terwards il there should be a deviation from the
satfte. We would therefore briefly- state, that
our object is to advocate and support to the ex
tent ot our ability the doctrines professed and
practised hy the Union Party* of our State, be
lieving them to the essential to the preservation
ot our existence |fs a nation, and the perpetua
tion of oiir happiness as a people. These 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
being examined and explained in detail. We
are fully aware that professions made and not
practised arc worse than futile. Ifwe should be
found tergiversating in our course, we are of
consequence amenable to our patrons and rea
ders, and by them xve are willing to be judged.
Portions of the paper will be devoted to mis
cellaneous matter, distinct from political, em
bracing that w-hich w ill be thought most useful
and interesting. The Editor pledges himself to
use every exertion to make his paper as respec
table and interesting as lays in his power.
The Southern Spy xvill be published on a Roy
al sheet with new type and press, at tw-o dollars
and fifty cents in advance, and three dollars at
the end of the year. The first number xvill be
issued about the 25th of this month.

If 1 is a remarable fact, that, in all the South

journal ot a character exclusively literary

No one of us would be willing to admit that
this results from want ot literary taste, vet no
one essays to cast off" 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 of the republic of letters; the
present maybe distinguished as the era of“pe

truth, constitutes the literary world emphatical
ly a republic.” Now, (as ever,) the truly emi-

hide their diminished heads,” in the awful pre£
ence ot some Magog of literature, who main
tains despotic and undisputed swav over tha
realms of intellect. J
We shall not dispuss tho question whether or
not tins indicates a decline of literature. It is
however, strongly characteristic of the age —’
Mankind ate now more engaged in the secarch
alter political truth, than in mere literary ele
gancies and refinement. They are occupied in
discovering their rights; in wresing them from
hands which have so ong 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 centimes;and, ttith mighty energy, they ara

Literary excellence is therefore no longer the
chief standard ol renown. This is not because
literary excellence has descended in the scale of
intellectuni exertion, but because renown has
now a noble and wioftierincentive. Literature
from being a queen, has condescendod to be a
handmaid—the handmaid of liberty. But it is
not because literature is shorn of her dignity or
of her splendor; but because liberty ha.7 assum
ed her thrown high above Ml other thrones.
On tiie man whose mind is purified from er
ror, and raised above-prejudice, by thu genial in
fluence of literary pursuits, rests the task ot
freeing his fellow man from the gloomy thral
dom of ignorance, to which tyranny and cupidi
ity have so long and so successfully subjected
To effect this, he must not liteitate. or be dis

should rather exult in thoreflection that he may
co-operate with master spirits, in the complo

ong xvith their and will aid in accomplishing
the glorious end of “redeeming, regenerating,
and disenthralling” the human race. 8
Such is nuxv the “prize of the high Calling” of
litterature. Such is how the distinguished nie

The periodical press is the lever by which
the mass ot society is to be urged to this great re

As a literary journal performs so important a
function in the present organization of society
