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 tho bones.
Savannah, May Cth, 1347
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 tiy
your Rheumatic Linimeut, or Pain Killer, I did
so, and was 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 had been troubled with very severe pains in
my limbs, and particularly in my back, 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, sr Pain Killer,
11sought 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 affected 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.
Libbkty County. January 19,1849.
Mr. W. G. Falligant—Sir: I do hereby certify
that I have used your Rheumatic Lini- ment, or
Pain Killer, for Rheumatism in my hands and
arms, and nm perfectly cured, not haying the use
of my hands for eighteen months and in the space
of three weeks I could use my hands as well as
1 ever did.

CINES.—The Graofanburg Compound
Sarsaparilla is given up,hy 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 Bitteis, 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-
rsapurilla 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 a very
small teaspoonful,
while the dose of that
whiehis sold in large
bottles is nearly a
wine g ass ful. En addition to Snrsaparilla i
contains a powerful concentration of mandrake,
bur-dock,queetis-delight,elder yellow dock gui-
acum, andothor important medicaments whichare
not found in any other preparation.
In consequence of this unpardonable dilution,
and of the 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 the system from its foulest
taints.
ThisCompound is prepared on an entirely
new plan, by costly Ui)d elaborate machinery, by
means of which all the delicate propertties of
Sarsaparilla and otberlngredionts are obtained
in their highestdegree of excellence. Tim inert
feculent mutter which enenmbers all other Sar
saparilla preparation is also precluded from this
Compound by the same means. One bottle of
tho Graefenberg Snrsaparilla will go as far as
ten bottles of ordinary Sarsaparilla, an.l is,
therefore, TEN TIMES CHEAPER Price
$1.
The names of the Graefenberg Medicines are:
Vegetable Pills, 25 cents per box.
Green Mountain Ointment, S3 cents per bo«.
Dysentery Syrup, 50 cents per bottle.
Sarsaparilla Compound, SI per bottle.
Children’s Panacea, 50 ceuts per botti«.

Nightfall in Hun garia.
BY MISS LYNCH.
As when tho sun in darkness seta,
And night falls on the earth,
Along the azure fields above,
The star* of heaven como forth;
So, when the sun of, Liberty
Grows dim to mortal eyes, , ,1
From out tho gloom, like radiant stars,
The world’s true heroes rise.
The men of human destiny,
Whom glorious dreams inspire;
High-priests of Freedom, in whose souls
Is shrined tlie sacred fire.
The fire that through the wilderness,
In steadfast lustre gleams,
That on the future dim mid dark,
Sheds its etthlgcnt beams.
Thus, oh Hnngnrin ! through the night
That wraps thee in its gloom,
Light from one burning soul streams forth,
A torch above thy tomb,
Thy tomb ! oh no—the mouldering shroud
The worm awhile must wear,
Ere, from its confines springing forth,
He wings the upper air.
Thy tomb! then from its door ere long,
The stone shall roll away;
Thou shall come forth, and once again
Greet tho new risen duy.
That day, that prayed and waited for
Solong, shall surely rise,
As surely us to morrow's syn
Again shall greet our eyes.
What though, before the shape evoked,
Tho coward heart lias quailed,
And when tho hour, the moment came,
The rccreunt arm has failed;
What though the apostate wields thoswonl
With fratricidal hni.d, •/
And the last Romans wander forth
In oxil o'er tho land;
What though suspended o’er tboe hangs
The Austrian’s glittering steel.
Wlint though thy heart is crushed beneath
The Imperial Cossack’s heel.
Not to the swift is given the race,
The battle to the strong;
Up to the listening, ear of God
Is borne the mighty w rong.
From him the mandate lias.gone forth,
The Gilfltt Power must fall;
Oh, prophet! read's! thou not the doom,
The writing on the wall l
The slaves of power, the sword, tho scourge,
The seaffold and tho chain,
A while may claim their hecatombs
Of hero-martyrs slain.
But they that war with Tyranny
Still mightier weapons bear ;
Winged, arrowy thoughts, tliatpierce likeliglit,
Impalpable as air.
Thoughts that strike through tho triple .mail,
That spread and burn and glow,
More quenchless than the;, firethe Greek
Rained on his Moslem foe.
Rest, rest in peace, heroic shades!
Whoso blood like water ran ;
For every crimson drop ye shed
Shall rise an armed muii.
Rest, rest in peace, heroic hearts !
Who wander still on earth,
Thoughts, your immortal meseengess.
Are on their mission forth-
The prisoners of liberty,
Invincible they throng ;
They scale und undermine the towers
And battlements of wrong.
Spen]t! sagos, poets, patriots, speak!
,nd the dark pile shall fall,
As at the proph-.-t’s trumpet blast,
Once fell the city’s w all.
