LI3R.—Having fora number 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. Fulligant—Sir : This is to certify
that I was severely attacked with Rheumatism
in my foet, 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 have not felt any pain
sincQ, 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
my limbs, and particularly in my back, so much
so as not to be able to attend to my planting in
terest, and having boon recommended to use
Falligant’s Rheumatic Liniment., ^rPain Killer,
t nought 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 hor 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.
Liberty 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 und
arms, and am perfectly cured, not having the use
of my hands for eighteen months and in the space
of throe weeks I could use my hands as well as
I ever did.
Yours, Truly,

With this Reparation, “there is no such word

of compounds advertised in tho public prints,
or used in private pructico. In cheapness ns
well ns efficacy, Barry’s Tricopherous is un-
ivalied. The immenso cash sales of the arti
cle, have enabled tho inventor to supply it at
retail, at 25 cents per bottle, which is from fifty
to one hundred per cent less, than the price of
any other preparation for tho hair now in use
The scientific treatise on the lmir and the skin,
(embracing valuable directions for tho culture
and preservation ot Nature’s choicest orna

alone worth tho money
The affinity between tho membranes which
constituo the skin,-and the hair which draws its
sustenunce from this triple envelope, is vory
close All diseases of tho hair originate in the
skin of the head. If the pores of the scalp
are clogged, or if the blood and other fluids do
not circulate freely through the small vessels
hich feed tho roots with moisture, and im
part life to the fibres, the result is scurf, dund-
uff, shedding of their hair, grayness, dryness,
and harshness of the ligaments, and entire
baldness, ns the case may he. Stimulate the
skin to healthful action with the Tricopherous,
and the torpid vessels,recovering their activity,
will annihilate the disease. In all affections of
the skin, and of the substrata of muscles and
nteguments, the process and tho effect are the
same. It is upon the skin, the muscular fibres,
nud the glands, that the Tricopherous has its
specific notion, and in all affections and injuries
of tlieso organs, it is a sovereign remedy.

after a considerable delay, acting under the
advice of some of her friends, she has conclud
ed to change her original intention, and issued
monthly journal, of moderate size, quarto form
entitled the Youth’s Friend. It will be what
its name indicates. Wc arc not proposing to
publish a journal of largo pretensions, either
as to the size of its pages, or the ability of its
contents. Having long been engaged in teach
ing the young "of tho gentle sex, \vo flatter our
self that we know something of their moral
and intellectual wants. Our object is mainly
to aid the young mind in its search after in
tellectual and moral nutriment, us well in the
paths of sober wisdtom, as the more brilliant
paterres of sparkling literature. While aid
ing to find the gems of the latter, we would
from tho Book of Nature and Revelation
draw lessons to charm and decornte it with
the inspiration which alone can give it immortal
bloom.
The Youth’s Friend will bo mndo -up of lit
crary and scientific essays and items, moral
instructive, and pleasing tales, original and se
lected; beautiful poetry, Ac., as well as ed
torials, usual in works of the character pro
posed. We have the promise of contribu
tions from several whose efforts cannot fail to
please ; and so far as our ability and exertions
can make it useful and attractive, they will bo
unremittingly exerted.
But we need not enlarge. It will be seen that
out- pages aro intended principally for the young
still, we trust that they will contain much worthy
of the consideration of those more advanced in
life. While we frankly udmit that we should be
gratified with a suitable reward for our labors
we cannot and must not loose sight of the great
hope of doing good. With becoming modesty
and deference, we submit our frail Literary
Barque to the waves of public opinion, with an
expression of the hope that it may meet u favor
able reception.
We tender our grateful acknowledgments
to the many kind friends who became patrons
our“Humblo Efforts," and trusttbat they muv
be pleased with the “Youth’s Friend.”
It will l>e issued monthly,in quarto form of eight
puges, at $1 per annum, in advance. As tho 1st
number will be forthcoming about the first
February, we would be greatly obliged to n
those who may wish to receive it, to send in the
names as early as possible. W. C. TYSON.
