Jl CorHEROUS, or medicated com
pound—Inlulliblc forrcpewing,invigorating,
and beautifying the HA$£., 'removing Scurf,
Dandruff, ami all affections of the Scalp, and
curing eruptions on thu Skin, Diseases of the
Glands, Muscles and Integuments, nnd reliev
ing Stings, Cuts, Bruises, Sprains, &e. &e.—
With this Preparation, “tlicro is no such word
as fail.” The first journal in Americu, medi
cal men of the highest eminence, promiiftmt citi
zens of all professions, and ladies who have used
it for years, in their dressing rooms and nur
series, admit with ono accord, that, for impart
ing vigor, gloss, luxuriance and curl to the hair
eyudienting scurf and dundruff, healing wounds
Miring contusions, sprains, stings; &c., and re
lieving diseases of the skin, the glunds, and thu
muscles, it has no equal among the multitude
of compounds advertised in the jiublio prints,
or used in prifhte practice. In cheapness us
well as efficacy, Barry’s Tricopherous is un
rivalled. Tho immense cash sales of tlta arti-
cle, have enabled the inventor to .supply it at
retail, at 25 cents per bottle, whidh is from fifty
to one hundred JierV-^nf lessf, thnn the price of
any other preparntioh for the hair now in use.
The scientific treatise on the hair and the skin,
(embracing vdluiibl6 directions for the culture
and preservation ot Nature’s choicest orna
ment,) in which each bottle is enclosed, is
alone worth the money.
The affinity between the membranes which
constituc the skin,-and tlie hair which draws its
sustenance from this triple envelope, is very
clhse 'A 11 diseases of tho hair originate In tho
skin of tho head. If tho pores of the scalp
are clogged, or if the blood und other fluids do
not circulate treely through the small vessels
which feed tho roots, with moisture, and im
part life to the fibres, the result is scurf, dand
ruff, shedding of their hair, graynesr, dryness,
and lmfshness of tho ligaments, and entire
baldness, ns the case may be. Stimulate the
skin to healthful uctio* with the Tricopherous,
and the torpid vessels, recovering their activity,
will annihilate the disease. In all affections of
the skin, und of the substrata of muscles nnd
integuments, the process und the effect are tho
same. It is upon the skin, the muscular fibres,
and the glands, that the. Tricopherous has its
specific action, and in all nlfeotions and injuries
of these organs, it is a sovereign remedy.

V MA.TIC LINIMENT OR FAIN KIL
LEU.—Having for a number of years made and
old my liniment, and used the same on my own
person, I feel perfectly secure modeling 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 6th, 1847.
Mi. W. G. Fnlligant—Sir : This is to certify
that I was severely attacked with Rheumatism
in iny feet, so as to prevent me from attending to
iny business. Having been recommended to try
your Rheumatic Liniment, or Fain 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 KENf.
Scriven Oounty May 12, 1848.
I hud been troubled with very severe pains in
my limbs, and particularly in my buck, so much
so as not to be able to attend to my planting in
terestj and having been'recommended to use
Falligant’s Rheumatic Liniment, jt Pain Killer,
t nought T would do so, and I found it to giv
me almost immediate relief, and what is most
singular, my wife having an enlargement and
stiffness of the joirtts 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.
T ihrrty County. January 10,1849.
Mr. Vv . G. Falligant—Sir: I do hereby certify
that 1 have used your Rheumatic Lini- ment, or
Fain Killer, for Rheumatism in my hands and
arms, and am perfectly cured, notliaving 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.

as to tho size of its pages, or tho ability of its
contents. Having long been engaged iu teach
ing the young of the gentle sex, we flatter our
self that we know something of their moral
anA intellectual wants. Our object is mainly
to aid tho young mind in its search after in
tellectual and moral nutriment, ns well in tho
paths of sober wisdom, as the more brilliant
paterres of sparkling literature. While aid,
ing to find the gems of the latter, we would
fiom the Book of Nature nnd Revelution,
draw lessons to charm nnd decorate it: with
the inspiration which alone can give it immortal
bloom.
The Youth’s Friend will be made up of lit
erary und scientific essays and items, moral,
instructive, and pleasing tales, original and se
lected; beautiful poetry, &c., as well as edi
torials, usual in works of the character pro
posed. Wc have the promise of contribu
tions from several whoBe efforts cannot fail to
please ; and so far as our. ability and exertions
can make it usefu' and attractive, they will be
unremittingly exerted.
But wo need not enlarge. It will he seen that
our pages'are intended principally for the young;
still, we trust thntthey will contain much worthy
of thecnnsideraiion of those more advanced in
life. 'Vhile we frankly admit that we should he
gratified with a suitable reward fur our labors,
we cannot and mustnot loose sight of the great
hope of doing good. With becoming modesty
and deference, we submit our irai! Literary
Barque to the waves of public opinion, with an
expression of the hope that it may meet a favor
able recepiion.
Wo tender onr grateful acknowledgments
to the many kind friepds who became patrons of
our “Humble Efforts," and trust that they mav
be pleased with the “Youth’s Friend.”
