matic LINIMENT OK TAIN KIL
LER.—Having fora number of years made and
old my liniment, and used the same on my own
person, I feci perfectly secure in ottering 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. Having been recommended to try
your Rheumatic Liniment, or Pain Killer, I did
so, and was freed from all pain in a short time. 1
am now perfectly well and huve not felt any pain
since, and would cheerfully recommend it to my
fellow citizens.
EZRA KENT.
Scriven County May 12, 1843.
I had been troubled with very severe pains in
imy limbs, and particularly in my hack, so much
so as not to be able to attend to my planting in
terest, and having been recommended to use
Falligant’s Rheumatic Liniment, 'or Pain Killer,
I thought 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 affect ;d parts, received groat
relief herself.
I would recommend it to every person af
flicted, as being a sovereign cure and a very
heap one. Jno. Lucas.
Liberty County, January 19,1849.
Mr. W. G. Falligant—Sir: I do hereby certify
that I have used your Rheumatic Lini- ment, or
Pair. Killer, for Rheumatism in my hands and
arms, and am perfectly cured, not having the use
of my hands for eighteen months and in the space
of three weeks I could use my hands as well as
I ever did.
Yours, Truly,
Margaret A. Banks.

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. Tho 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 thesq articles,
they are sure to return and purchase again.
The Agent has always on hand a supply of Sar-
rsaparilla Compound; Vegetable Pula; Fever
and Ague PHIb ; 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 a very
small teaspoonful,
while the dose of that
wliichis sold in large
bottles is nearly a
wine g ass ful, In addition to Sarsaparilla i
contains a powerful concentration of mandrake,
bur-dock, queons-dolight, elder yellow dock gui-
acum, andotherimportant medicamentswhichare
not found in any other preparation.
In consequence of this unpardonable dilution,
and of tho imperfect modes of extracting, the
noble and healthgiving Sarsaparilla has passed
through many changes in the estimation of medi
cal men. Properly prepared and of proper
strength it is the most powerful agent in the
world to cleanse tho system from its foulest
taints.
This Compound is prepared on an entirely
new plan, by costly and elaborate machinery, by
means of which all tlie delicate properties of
Sarsaparilla and other ingredients are obtained
in their highest degree of excellence. Tho inert
feculent matter which enenmbers all other Sar
saparilla preparation is also precluded from this
Compound by the same means. One bottle of
tho Graefenberg Sarsaparilla will go as far as
ten bottles of ordinary Sarsaparilla, anil is,
therefore, TEN TIMES CHEAPER- Price
$1.
Tlie names of the Graefenberg Medicines are:
Vegetable Pills, 25 cents per box.
Green Mountain Ointment, 25 cents per bo«.

IMPORTANT TREASURY CIRCULAR.
Breaking up of the Revenue Service.
In the Washington official papers of Monday,
we find the following, tho necessity for issuing
which will doubtless tako most, of the peopl^
by surprise:
Circular Instructions to Collectors and other
Officers of the Customs.
TJu.asury Department, )
Dec. 31, 1849. £
In view of the specific sum appropriated by
Congress to defray “the expenses of fcollecting
tho revenue from Customs,” as contained in
the 4th section of tlie act of 3d March, 1849,
to wit: tho sum of one million five hundred
and sixty thousand dollars per annum, and in
proportion for a less time, and the perempto
ry restriction by law of such expenses within
said amount, it becomes tho imperative duty
of the Department to make such curtailment
and reduction of existing expenses of collect
ing the revenue from customs as will conform
to the requirement of the law, to tako effect on
and after tho 1st January, 1850.
In accomplishing this object, it has been the
wish and endeavor of tho Department to ap
ply the curtailment and reduction of expenses
to objects and services deemed least likely to
affect the security of the revenue, or produce
inconvenience and embarrassments to the branch
of tho public service in question.
Upon careful consideration of the entire sub
ject, the Department has, under the pressing
necessity before referred to, concluded to apx
ply the reduction of expenses to the following
enumerated' objects and services:
1st. For the present, and until otherwise
ordered, to discharge the crews of tho reveune
cutters, and lay up the vessels.
On this point specific instructions will be im
mediately given to tlio collectors of districts
where revenue cutters are now employed.
2d. Under the existing restriction by law in
regard to tho expenses attending tho collection
of the revenue from customs, it becomes ne
cessary to defray tho entire expense of the
warehousing system out of the receipts from
storage; it being evidently the intention of Con
gress, in granting the facilities of that system,
that it should not become a charge upon tho
revenue. You will, therefore, be careful to
adopt such a course as will be sure to cover
all the expenditures for rent, labor, cartage,
and for the services of storekeepers, clerks,
and. all other persons employed in the public
warehouses at your port.
3d. The 4th section of tho Tariff act of 30th
July, 1846, provides that in certain caseB there
in specified, weighing, jjuagiug, and measur
ing must be peformed at the expense of the
owner, ogent, or consignee.
Whenever it may become necessary for the
appraisers to have any merchandise weighed,
gunged, or measured, with a view of verifying
invoices on upprnisment, the expense incurred
therefor must by borne by the owner, agent, or
consignee.
In cases, algo, where it may become neces
sary to weigh, measure, or gunge, in order to
asscertain deficiency or damage during the voy
age of importation, on the application of the
importer, such expense must be defrayed by
tho owner, ogent, or consignee.
Whenever it becomes necesary under exist
ing laws or regulations to weigh, guage, or
measure any article of merchandise, in"order to
ascertain the dutiable value, in the case oftm-
claimcd goods, and when nb invoice hat been
received, the expenses connected with the
same will be duly noted and collected with the
duties.
4tli. The expenses attending tho apprais-
ment of merchandise, such os labor, cartage,
storage, &x\, must hereafter be paid by the im
porters, and will be charged upon the goods’
and collected before delivery thereof.
5 th. There must be withheld a proportion
of the compensations of all officers of the cus
toms, ond other persons employed in the col
lection of the revenue from customs, until the
result of tho curtailment and reduction herein
proposed shall have become known to the De
partment ; and in making remittances to collec
tors, &c., tho Department will retain such a
per centage on the amount of their estimates ns
may be deemed necessary to accomplish the Ob
ject proposed in these instructions.
In conclusion, the Department must impress
upon collectors and oilier officers of the customs
the necessity for a reduction of the contingent
expenses of their respective offices to the lowest
practicable amount, dispensing'with such objects
as may not be indispensably necessary for the
prompt discharge of the current business of
their offices.
Wm. M. Meredith,
Secretary of the Treasury.
(Transmitted, 12 th January, 1850.)
The above instruction have been rendered
indispensablo by the legislation of the lost ses
sion, compelling the Treasury Department to
restrict its annual expov ditures within th(
sum of $1,560,000.
By reference to the Congressioui' Globe, i
will bo seen that the act of the last 'Jcr.gren
appropriated for this branch of tho public
vice a sum less, by six hundred and fi
thousand dollars, than the actual expor.iiit
of the year previous for the sa\ne aervice; r
this, too, in view of the additional fexpen
arising from the charge of new district! ir
Texas, Oregon, and California, and the at.,
al increase in the other districts.
The Secretary of the Treasury estimates t :
expenses of collecting the revenue for the c>
rent six months at $1,325,000. The law of
lost session contemplates the payment of $7SO, -
000 for this servico.
