matic LINIMENT OR PAIN KIL
LER.—Having foranumber of years made and
old my liniment, and used the same on my own
person, l feel perfectly secure in offering it to
the public as a safe and certain cure for Rheumat
ism, pains in the limbs, joints, and swelling and
enlargement of the bones.
Savannah, May 6th, 1847.
Mr. W. G. Falligant—Sir : This is to certify
that I was severely attacked with Rheumatism
in my feet, so as to prevent me from attending to
my business. IIavingbeenrecommended,tq try
your Rheumatic Liniment, or Pain Killer, I did
so, and wa3 freed from all pain in a short time. 1
am now perfectly well and have not felt any pain
since, and would cheerfully recommend it to my
fellow citizens.
EZRA KENT.
Scriven County May 12, 1848.
I hod been troubled with very severe pains in
my limbs, and particularly in my back, so much
so as notto be-ablotoattend £omy planting in-
it.tit., and having been recommended I o use
Falligant's Rheumatic Liniment, jr Pain Killer,
I taought I would do so, and I found it to give
me almost immediate relief, and what is most
singular, my wife having an enlargement and
stiffness of the joints of her hands, by applying
the remedy to the aifeetod parts, received great
relief herself.
I would recommend it to every person af
flicted, as being a sovereign cure and a very
heap one. Jno. Lucas.

G raefenberg M E D I-
CINES.—The Graefenburg Compound
Sarsaparilla is given up,by all who have occasion
to test its virtue, to be the most genuine and
valuable Sarsaparilla that is now offered to the
public. The Gaefenburg Health Bitters, Eye
Lotion, &c., are now extensively used by some
of the most respectable citizens of Savannah,
all of whom have spoken in the highest terms
of their value; and it is a fact worthy of note,
that if any person buys one of these articles,
they are sure to return and purchase again.
The Agent has always on hand a supply of Sar-
rsaporilla Compound; Vegetable Pills; Fever
and Ague Pills; Health Bitters; Eye Lotion;
Consumptives Balm; Uretine Catholecon;
Green Mountain Ointment; Children’s Panacea;
a very valuable spring Medicine for children;
Dysentery Syrup and Pile Ointment, both of
which are warranted to cure—no cure, no pay.
SARSAPARILLA.
The Sarsaparilla
Compound of this
company is almostlit-
erally a sulphate of
sarsaparilla. So high
ly concentrated is it
that the dose is but
the half of n very
small teaspoonful,
while the dose of that
whichis sold in large
- bottles is nearly a
wine-g ass ful. In addition to Sarsaparilla i
contains a powerful concentration of mandrake,
bur-dock,queens-delight, elder yollow dock gui-
acum, and other important medicaments which are
not found in any other preparation.
In consequence of this unpardonable dilution,
and of the imperfect modes of extracting, the
noble and healthgiving Sarsaparilla hns passed
through many changes in the estimation of medi
cal men. Properly prepared and of proper
strength it is the most powerfid agent in the
world to cleanse the system from its foulest
taints.
This Compound is prepared on an entirely
new plan, by costly and elaborate machinery, by
means of which all the delicate propertties of
Sarsaparilla and other ingredients are obtained
in their highestdegree of excellence. The inert
feculent matter which encumbers all other Sar
saparilla preparation is also precluded from this
Compound by the same means. One bottle of
the Graefeuberg Sarsaparilla will go as fur as
ten bottles of ordinary Sarsaparilla, and is,
therefore, TEN TIMES CHEAPER Price
$1.

Without cutting the Libraries containing un
der 30,000 volumes, thero are* twenty-six not
enumerated in the above list, which contain
from 30,000 to 80,000 volumes-
Mons. Libri, a distinguished bibliographer
and familiar with the Libraries of Italy gives
many interesting facts regarding them. The
Libraries of Italy are freely accessible to the
public, not only the great National Libraries,
but those belonging to the Universities and to
various cities and towns. Any person on ask
ing for a book receives it to read in the library,
hut there are many of the Universities which
lend books on certain conditions. Notwith
standing the free access to these libraries thero
are a great many books which the public are
forbidden even to see, on which the church
and government keep a strict watch. Muchiu-
velli’s Florentine History is one of this class.
Permission must be obtained of the proper au
thorities to read these books. Manuscripts
and rare books aro not accessible; they ean be
seen, however, by getting permission.
The Vatican Library is less free than others,
on account of the rarity of its books, its an
cient manuscripts, and its avcliieves. Its reg
ulations ' are strict, even for literary men.
Many parts of it are entirely closed frompiio
public, and even manuscripts aro not allowed
to be copied except by persons authorized by
government for the purpose. This is attrib
uted more to the jaolousy of the ecclesiastical
system than to any fear for the safety of tho
books and manuscripts. This exclusion is al
so attributed to tho persons who have tiie
manuscripts in keeping, who derive large per
quisites by transcribing them. “Vatican tran
scribers,” says M. Libri, “form a sortjof official
corporation, as it was at Constantinople before
the fall of the Byzantino Empire, so that they
provent every one from persuing fresly the
manuscripts themselves.” The cost for ma
king copies for some sheets of rare manu
scripts at Rome is from j£40 to £50.
Cause of Cholera.—Dr. Mussey, who is
Professor of Surgery in the Ohio Medical Col
lege says,jntho Western Lancet, a medical re
view published lit Cincinnati!, that he has dis
covered animnlculte in the vapor condensed from
the atmosphere exhaled by cholera patients.
He made a variety of experiments, anebproduet d
in every case the same result. This atmosphere,
when it had not been breathed by such patients,
did not contuin any living bodies, nor did tho
water which they had been in the habit of drink
ing. But he found also, in the course of his in
vestigations, that the bodies of persons who had
died of the disease, exhibited the same or simi
lar little animals, witen any part k of it was moisten
ed by distilled water.
These animulculie ore described to be of oval
and globular forms, multitudinous in number,
very unickin their movements and apparently en
do wed. with great tenacity of life. They are
about-thfe one-twentieth part of a blood copusclo
in size, which is about the one-eighth thousandth
of an inch in length. Dr. Mussey will not assert
that these animals are the causes of the malady,
but he supposes that they must have something
to do with it, as he has failed to detect them
since the epidemic has passed away.
Another writer in the same periodical, Dr.
Plummer, writing from Richmond, Indiana,
seemingly without having heard of Dr. Mussey’s
experiments, announces the discovery of similar
animalcules in the dejectivea of cholera patients.
in confirmation of these results, Dr. Mussey
adds, "that several years ago. Count Moscoto, o f
Milan, when commissioned by the goverrme’
to analyze tho atmosphere of the Milanea
grounds, which were fruitful in malign^) .
tions, found that it would deposit on JU* su " tt *
ces a kind of mucous substance;
