Thd cteamship Jamcj L. Day, Capt. Wood,
arrived last evening from Vera Cruz, having left
there the evening of the 5th but. She ((topped at
the Brazos, bat did not communicate with the
shore.
Among the passengers on the Day, wero Ma
jor Iturbidc, prisoner of war, and Lieut. Sears,
8d Artillery, bearer of despatches to Washington.
Gem Scott’s despatches* left Mexico between
the 13th and 15th of October, escorted by a spy
company of Mexican lancers, 100 strong, under
command of Col. Durainguez. The company
left Pncbta the evening of the 19th and were at
tacked the same night by a strong force under
Gen. Torrejon. Shortly after they were at
tacked by Col. Viunos. In the two engagements
they lost fifteen of their number, but suppose they
killed at least ten times that number. They re
turned to Puebla and Gen. Lane placed the des
patches in the hands of his adjutant geucrnl, Lieut
Sean, who came down with his Mexican escort to
Vera Cruz, hut accompanied os far as Plan del
Ilio by the first Pennsylvania Regiment, under
Col. Wynkoop, Capt Loyali's Georgia mounted
men, and three companies of artillery. The
American portion oftho escort halted at Plan del
Rio and were to return with Gen. Patterson.
Lieut. Sears reached Vera Cruz in the night of
the 4th Inst, accompanied by Capt George Tay
lor, 2d Artillery, Lieut. Lear, 4th Infantry, and
Lieut. Hills, 1st Pennsylvania Regiment, on
their way home on furlough. Lent. Henderson.
Louisiana Volunteers, came down to join his
company. About eighty discharged soldiers also
canto down.
The Mexican spy company is described ns a
rough looking set of men. They fight with ropes
rnnnd their necks as the saying is, and therefore
fight gallantly. Col. Dominguez is thought to
kuow the road intimately, from long experience
upon the lino in a different capacity. We under
stand that wc have altogether about 450 of this
description of force in our pay. Of the detach
ment which came down with Lieut Scars, one of
the officers lost an arm by the way, and two oth
ers wereseverely wounded. An American dis
charged soldier, who came down with them, told
our correspondent that they fought most gallant-

Gen. Lane remains at Puebla, retaining oil the
command he took up with him. A circular order
from Gen. Scott directs a garrison of 750 men to
be stationed at the National Bridge, 1200 dt Jnla-
pa, nnd 2000 at Puebla—the last two points under
command of general officers. Gen. Cushing has
been assigned by Gon. Patterson to the command
at Jolapa. Gen. Patterson had reached the Na
tional Bridge on the morning of the 4th inst. with
all his force, having been entirely unmolested up
on the route.
Gen. Lane’s | command is quartered in tho
heart of^Peulla, the General occupying the
Palace.
Santa Anna was at Tepuacan on the 26th ult.
He had given up the idea of going to Orizaba os
he had proposed.
The guerrillas ore quarreling among them-
■ slves. The Rainbow says; “It appears that Jar-
auto’* band have declared Col. Cenobio to be a
traitor to them and to his country ; that he is leag
ued with the Americans, and even supplied by
them with arms and ammunitions for the purpose
of destroying his brother bandits. After much
talking they have at length proceeded to blows 5
and in one engagement, tis said that Jnrauta was
victorious, and that thirty of Cenobio’s men
were killed."
Later accounts confirm the above, but say that
only twenty were killed and that Jnrauta was shot
through the leg. Papers of Jalapa of a prior date
had said that Jaranta had withdrawn from the
field to attend to his religious duties.
Unnumm legislature.—The legislator* havo
completed the election of the three judge* oftho
supremo court. Messrs. W.* B. Turley (dem,
was re-elected for tho western district ? N. Gray

We are obligingly informed by the mail agent
from Richmond, that Mr. Riddle has arrived this
evening, as express, with despatches forthe gov
ernment. Report says the despatches are from
Puebla.—Ibid.
Another Curiosity tw Miniature.—We have had
the honor of a visit, this ovening, ftotn Major
GeneAl Hancock, a dwarf from North Carolina.
He is two inches higher than his celebrated com-
fnrt Tom Thumb, but weighs two pounds less.
He is twenty-threo years old, and about ton years
older than General Thumb-well formed, agreea
ble in manners, and smart aud prompt in his an
swers. He dances the Polka nnd other fashion
able dances. The Major General has been ex
hibited in Now York and Philadelphia to full

Offlclnl Despatches.
The Washington Union of Saturday night, re
ceived last night, has nearly thirteen columns fill,
cd with official despatches, with details of the bat
tles of Contreras and Clmrubusco.
Among the names of the heroic men, who on
these fields have elicited the admiration of their
country, wo find the names of the following offi
cers, especially known to our citizens:
Capt. Wayne, of the Quarter Master’s Depart
ment, attached to Gen. Scott’s Staff; Captaiu
Mackall, Assistant Adjutaut General, of General
Worth’s Staff: Capt. Ilurdec, of Col. Harney’s
Brigade of Cavalry; Lieut. Coppee, of the Artil
lery! with Surgeon J. M. Cuylcr, who, ;is men
tioned by Gen. Twiggs, was particularly active in
administering to the comfort of tho sick und
wounded, for “ tho admirable (medical) Corps
spent tiie entire night exposed to the pitiless storm,
in dressing the wounded and in alleviating their
sutferings.’’
But wc cannot now say more of these gallent
men who have written their glorious deeds on the
history of their couutry, for our columns arc
already occupied.
CJen. Twiggs.
Tho compliment paid by the Democratic Re
presentatives in Milledgevilleto this gallant soldier
and distinguished officer, by casting their ballots
for him, as U. S. Senator, is nobly earned, and
m ist be sensibly appreciated. It is tantamount
to saying to the Hero of Cerro Gordo,ifyou were
a nong us, onco moro the simple citizen of Gcor-
g a, and the Democratic party had the nscondency
in the State, tliore is no office in their gift which
ttoy would not bo ready to bestow upon you.
At once the nbleolficor, the intelligent gentleman,
the enlightened politician, he has been a distin
guished honor to our State, already honored in the
name and memory of his father. The compli
ment was appropriate, well-timed, and graceful'.

Our Georgia IJoyn.
We have the pleasure of stating that Captain
Loyal has not been killed, ns he halted at Plan
del Rio, with his troop, n part of the escort of
Lieut. Sears, hearer ofdespntches.
At the battle ofHuatuantla our loss was 13 kill
ed and 11 wounded, all with the exception of 3,
of Capt. Walker’s Company. The enemy lost
150.
Lieut. Anderson, Georgia Volunteers, and
Lieut. B. F. .McDonald (son of Ex-Gov. .McDon
ald,) of the 3d Artillery, are among the distin
guished at Huamnntln. Lieut. Anderson suc
ceeded in capturing Col. La Vega and Major
Iturhide.
Lieut. McDonald went forward into the town
with nu order from the General, previous to the
entry of the reinforcements. He was accompu-
nied by Mr. Bradley, Quarter Master. They
were surrounded by lancers, but filially escaped.
When Santa Anna saw that Gen. Lane designed
to capture his artillery, he immediately sent two
or three of his Aids, with a strong force, to bring
it off, if not already lost, or recapture it, if taken.
In the execution ofthis order. Major Iturhide,
who was afterwards made a prisoner, came dash
ing towards the town in a furious gallop. At the
same time Lieut. McDonald, of the Artillerv, was
spurring ahead of our troops towards the same
point. Both officers rode for sonic distance with
in hail of each other, and a desperate and exciting
race was kept up between them, until Lieutenant
.McDonald's horse stumbled and fell, when Itur-
bide pnshi d forward and gained the town. He.
however, arrived too late to bring off all the artil
lery, and was soon captured by Lieut Anderson
Walker’s Men,
The spirit of Walker, now dead, has been in
fused into his surviving men.
Ilis company (now Captain Ford’s) drove the
valiant Gen. Ilea (a soldier of Napoleon) at the
head of a large force before them at Atlixco,
with the loss of a few wounded, (one—Bernard
Rork, since duad.)
A Mexican in tho notion writes to his father

Sntttn Anna.
The principal rumor, referring to tho wherea
bouts of Santa Anna, is that ho had lied from the
country, having embarked on board an English
vessel at Old Tampico. Another account is,that
lie U a prisoner by his own people, and will bo
tried.
13P It is said that some of die Mexican Caval
ry use poisoned lances. No quarter will be shown
such warriors.

C5T* Gen. Pattersox, with his imposing train,
reached tho National Bridge on the morning of
the 4th inst., where it halted for the night. IJ e
will leave a portion of his command at Jalapa to
keep its treacherous inhabitants in check-
Mr. J«k*> Keralntloa.
The greatest interest will be felt in the result of
Mr. Jones’ movement in the House of Represen
tatives, calling upon'^or. Crawford to give his
; jreqsons for foe appointment of tho two Lieuten*
ant Colonels, now in command of the Battalions
fVom this State.' A perusal of that portion of his
late Excellency’s message, referring to this matter,
will show most conclusively, that ho will find it no
cosy matter to escape from the trap ho has sot for
himself. Tho great, nay, the only reason with
the least shadow of plausibility about it, which he
urges in support of his course, is that one com
pany of die mounted, and sovcral of the foot bat
talion, had already left the State. Mr. Jones will
have evidence sufficient to show, that in tho case
of tho former, Capt. Goulding’s company had
crossed over tho Chattohooche river under some
what rctuarkablo circumstances, had proceeded
but a few miles into Alabama, and could readily
have mounted their chargers and returned on an
hour’s notice to Georgia, to deposit their votes for
Lt. Col. But even if tho circumstances had been
such as they aro represented by die lato Gover
nor, could not dio elections have been held clsc-
whc(9 than in Georgia for tho commanding ofii
cert of bodi battalions l it not, why? Because
die laws regulating the elections of field officers
docs not allow it? But die law docs not allow
tho Governor to appoint, and die spirit of the law,
beyond all question is, diat tho mon shall elect
their own commanders. Which of the two cour
ses is tho greatest infracdon of thc'luw, for dio
Governor to appoint an officer, when die law re
quires dmt he should he elccte/l by his own men,
or for the election to take place out of Georgia?
Tho former defeats die end, and object, and spirit
oftho law! The latter secures them all! The
former is the exercise of arbitrary power! Tiie
latter secures to the members of tho battalions
their lawful rights.
Elections for commissioned officers in the vol
unteer Regiments nre constantly held ill the field.
Tho Colonel of die lato second Tennessee Reg
iment was elected ou the Rio Grande, aud die
law of Tennessee in reference to these elections
is similar to our own. A number of the officers
of tho late Georgia Regiment were elected iu
Mexico, and they were none die less respectable,
none die less efficient, because they had not been
benignanUy smiled on by his departed Excellency.
It is die constant custom to hold elections to fill
vacancies iu the volunteer regiments, after diose
regiments ore are already in tho field; nnd the
pretext set up by Governor Crawford for the ex
ercise of n most arbitrary nnd undulcgated power
is feeble and ridiculous iu the extreme. Sonic
of his political friends seem to be of opinion
(judging from the columns of yesterday’s Repub
lican) that Mr. Jones' resolution will simply
servo to give him amusement. If Ins lute Excel
lency can extract anything like amusement from
tho sturdy blows which are about to be indicted
upon his back, he must be possessed of a philo
sophy which would do credit to Diogenes him*
self. We arc firm in the couvicUoii that ere this
session is over he will he shown up in tho light
of the greatest “man of straw" of dio day; whose
reputation for intellect is among the emptiest of
soap-lmbbles, and who, from the amount of flat
tery bestowed upon him by die Whig presses, and
which would havo been bestowed on any other
individual, under the same circumstances, has
been induced to follow the example of the frog ii
die fable nnd pull’himself up until helms burst.—
We shall take occasion hereafter to refer to somo
parts of his late message, which do hut little credit
to his financiering abilities; not because we con
sider him nn object ut which it wero worth while
to discharge an arrow, fallen as ho is, hut b'o-
atise wc hold tho Whig party responsible for tho
acts of their own espocial Governor, aud are dis
posed to show to dio people what a magnificent
humbug Gov. Crawford’s financiering adminis
tration has been. In the moan time he could not
have fallen into hands better fitted to tear him to
pieces, nnd to give his fragments to tho winds,
than those of Mr. Jones; whose strong, prac
tical mind and rafe judgment would never havo
allowed him to plucc his foot upon ground
that could not sustain him, and whose searching
eye will look clearly through tho shallow pretexts
of aniusincero man, to the real motives which lie
beneath diem. It is to he seen whether the Whigs
in discarding Crawford, will bo likewise anxious
to do their duty to tho State by repudiating this
assumption of power on the part of die State Ex
ecutive, and by refusing to countcuunce nu unpar
donable infraction of the law. No politicians nre
louder than they against the exorcise of Execu
tive audiority. The veto power of die President
must be restricted in order to suit their views and
feelings. When it shall appear, therefore, dint a
Governor, seated iu his arm chair at Milledgcviile,
has deprived men who arc enduring the hardships
of die field, of their legal rights, has selected dieir
officers for diem, has broken the law of the State,
has infringed die Republican spirit which con
trols all of our elections, and which gives to the
volunteer the right of selecting his commander, it
is to be hoped diat there will be no difference of
opinion between Whig and Democrat, and that
the Ex-Governor will recoive such a rebuke as
his conduct richly deserves.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Nov. 15.
Gentlemen-—I had designed sending yon a co
py from the Journal of Saturday last, of certain
resolutions presented to tho Senate by Mr. W. J.
Johnson, consisting of a preamble and resolutions
highly complimentary to the veterau Brigadier
General David E. Twiggs, of tho United States’
Army, and requesting his Excellency the Gover
nor to procure and present to that officer, an ele
gant Sword, as a testimonial of respect and gra
titude of the State of Georgia,for tho distinguish
ed services of her native son—but I have been
unable to retain tho uso oftlie Journal long
enough to copy them. If nothing happens to
prevent, I will do so in time for the next mail.
•Mr. Wales moved to refer them to a committee
of five, which was lost; the resolutions wero
then unanimously agreed to.
Resolutions were also offered by the same Sen
ator, Mr. W. J. Johnson, requesting his Excel
lency, the Governor, to transmit to the Senate, a
copy of all the documents, reports of Commis
sioners, Physicians, and other papers relating to
tho Lunatic Asylum, made within tho last two
years.
Mr. Moon offered a resolution, requesting the
Governor to furnish the Senate with a copy o 1 ’
the Report of the Coimuittco appointed by the
Governor to examine, assess, nnd roport upon the
value of the raw material belonging to tho Peni
tentiary.
Also another calling for information relative to
the school located ut Cone Springs, Floyd
County, for tho instruction of the iudigent deaf
dumb, and blind.
On motion of Mr. Forman, the Senate took up
tho resolution of Mr. Marks in relation to import
ing slaves into this State, and ou motion of Mr.
Chastain it was laid on the table for the present.
Mr. Forman • presented the memorial of E. H.
Bacon, in relation to a Compilation of the Laws
of Georgia, which was referred to a select Com
mittee, consisting of Messrs. Forman, Clayton,
Glenn, Reese, and Terrell.
A message was received from the Governor,
transmitting to tho Senate a communication from
the Secretary 0 f War, requesting the passage of
an aet ceding to the United States jurisdiction of
a site selcclcd .for a fortification at Cumberland
Bound.
Also, that he had approved and signed a reso
lution appointing Thursday tho 25th inst, a day
or Prayer and Thanksgiving.
In the House of Representatives, the proceed
ings previous to the election for U. S. Senators,
seem not to have been important. Several local
bills were introduced, chiefly to change names
and so forth.
Mr. Freeman, tho order, on his motion, being
suspended,introduced a; resolution requesting the
Governor to inform the Honse what has been the
average amount of expenses--of the Legislature
from the first Monday iu November, 1834, to the
first Monday in November, 1845, including the
costs of the acts and journals—and also what was
the expense of tho last session of the Legislature^
including the costs of the acts and journals. The
resolution was agreed to.
Mr. Baugh introduced a bill to incorporate the
Gainesville Rail Road Company, with power to
construct a Rail Rond from Atlanta, or some con
venient point in De Kalb Couuty, to Uie town of
GainesviUo, in Hall Co.
Mr. Qtiarterman—a Bill to appropriate a part
of the Poor School Fund of 1847, to the County
of Liberty, &c.
Mr. Betlmue—To incorporate the Grand Divi
sion oftho Sons of Temperance in this State.
The Ilousd passed a resolution requiring 150
copies oflhe papers relative to the Florida boun*
dary to bo printed.
Mr. Gnrtrell, of Wilkes, introduced o Bill to

Washington, Wilkes County, to the depot of Uie
Central Rail Road,known as Tennil!e,or to some
other convenient point on said Road. Capita]

(Correspondence nf (lie Savannah Georgian.)
NEW YORK, November, 1847.
To the Editors of the Georgian :
Dear Sirs:—In this “progressive age" when the
telegraph and steam have nearly annihilated time
and space, it seems almost preposterous to at
tempt giving news in a letter, particularly as ev
ery city newspaper has its “own correspondent,”
and Uio “city items" generally absorb all of a lo
cal character—however, an “Idler" about such a
town as this, if lie keeps what sailors call the
“weather eye open," will pick up many an “item"
that docs not find its way into the newspapers,—
and by Uie way, what a change has Liken place
in the “press" of Uiis city during the past twenty
five years, (Uie scope of my recollection;) look
hack to Uie days of John Lang and Amos Butler,
Two worthier men were never connected with
tho “press;” they were, as far as regards this city,
the Fathers of Bulletins; in their palmy days “ex
tras” were rare, and penny papers uuknown, then
it was an “active exertion” to board Uio last arri
val from Europe by means of a small boat and a
pair of sculls, in the bay, before tho ship reached
the wharf—those were Uie duys when a inan on
his way to dinner or tea, would get tho “latest
intelligence” from the BulleUufor the amusement
and edification of family or friends—Uio quid
nunc’s ‘‘occupation’s gone," Uie news-boy, with
Uio “extra Herald" has distanced him—n quar
ter of a century ! The only papers of that day iu
this city which have survived, aro the Evoning
Post and Commercial Advertiser, aud, I believe,
the Price Current. Of editors and publishers, tho
only ones remaining iu tho business arc Francis
Hall of the Commercial, Thomas Snowden, un
attache of Uie Courier and Enquirer, and Win.
B. Townsend, of the Express. Major Noah, yet
lude and hearty, confines his labors to the Sunday
Times. I often meet, in my rambles, Charles
Holt, now on octogenarian, and I presume Uie
oldest editor iu these parts. In his day he was a
man of some note, having while editor of a paper
in the black-cockade times of the elder Adams,
been imprisoned for a libel ou Uie then cxisdng
Government—although Mr. IJ. has ceased his
connection with Uio press, yet as a relic of Uie
past, his appearance nnd conversation are inter,
esting. Another reminiscence of the press is a
news carrier—twenty five years ago he was a car.
rier, and still sen es his route apparently as active
as ever—he has accumulated n handsome proper
ty by patient industry—but then he is a Scotch*
man. A Yankee would have been a proprietor
ere Uiis.
New York is putting on its winter costume—
the note of preparation for an amusing winter is
loud. .Music appears to be the “star ascendant."
We New Yorkers really labor under the delusion
that we possess a musical taste; but bless our un
sophisticated selves, 'tis no such Uiing—lift the
curtain, nnd what do you 6ce t—crowds rushing
nightly at 25 cents a head to hear the EUiiopian
Sereuaders" or Christy Minstrels—look at the
genteel crowd at the “Broadway Casino," where
glees and songs arc performed for Gj cents admis
sion—or at rintaux’s for what yon choose to dis
pense iu the way of “drinks;” but legitimate
Opera—that is another thing—it costs something
—and hence is not patronized as it should be.—
Madame Bishop’s troupe recently closed nn en
gagement at the Park, it was without doubt the
most effective company ever got together here,
yet it barely paid expenses. If ever Madam
Bishop visits Snvunnah, you will hear the best
singer that has as yet appeared in America—and
see the handsomest’ woman on the stage. The
Concerts of Ilerz and Sivori are no criteria of
“musical taste," for as they’have introduced the
Parisian clncquer system, there is no telling who
pays nnd who does not. Tho new Opera House
is nearly finished, but the mauagers are already in
trouble and law suits. It is easy to foresee the
fuilure of the speculation.
I will give you nn item of news. The U. S.
store-ship Supply, Lieut. Coin’dt Wm. F. Lynch]
will sail from hero iu a few days for the Medi
terranean. Sho takes out a party of Naval Of
ficers forthe purpose of exploring aud surveying
the Dead Sea. This scientific corps is to bo un
der the command of Lieut. Lynch. Lieut. Pen-
nock to take charge of the ship on her arrival out.
What can bo the object of this expedition ?—
Have we a squinting for more territory in that
direction 1 Who kuows but what the “ Wihnot
Proviso" may yet come iu play in the harbors of
the sea that now covers Sodom and Gomorrah.
Tho election is over in this State, and its re
sult was,’as might have been anticipated from o.
family quarrel. The Whigs here have behaved
very quietly, making very little 44 glory” from
their victor}*. Whigs remind me of pi Whig pa
per hero, the 44 Tribnue." I can only wonder
that.such an infamous publication has been suf
fered to exist so long. I hope the time is not far
distaut when “forbearance will cease to be a vir
tue."
Our new Steamers are progressing. The
“Herman" will bo ready early in January, os also
the “United States." The frame of the war Stea
mer at our Navy Yard, is np, and several others at
the various ship yards. I learn that Mr. Sloo has
disposed of his contract for the Southern Mail
Steamers, to George Law, Esq. of tins city. But
little progress has been made os yet, with this
The case of Prime, Ward & Co. has caused'
mnch conversation in business circles,bat as their
position will be defined in a few days before one
pf onr courts, it is useless to speculate where the
Law is abont.'?
The •Restell affair ti nearly brought to a closo
bat if it depends upon the testimony produced
on the {rial to prove what the prisoner’s counsel
(Mr. Brady) yesterday told the jury Was neces-
•ary then I think this notorious woman will
capo. An impression seems to have gone forth
that very many respectable families in this city
are in the power or Restell. This is false; for I
have it from the best authority, that not a single
family or person having the smallest claim to re
spectability, has been implicated.
Timo was when we looked to the South for all
our murders'! how wo do them up here two at a
time, and in one case it has taken our “City Fa
thers" a week to offer a reward for the apprehen

Dr. Cbrist!e*M Medical Gnlvanlsm.
Among the first thoughts suggested by the re-
markable discoveries iu Galvanism wero those
regarding its relation to .Medical Science. CAN
IT AID IN THE ALLEVIATION OF DIS
EASE ? In replying to this question we answer
it unhesitatingly in the affirmative. Galvanism
lias been found oftlie utmost advantage in many
diseases, nnd the beneficial results with which its
application has been followed iu numerous and
most uffiicting cases, aro described os apparently
miraculous. When every means has been tried
without success, and tho last lingering ray of Hope
has departed, the wretched sufferer has been res
tored through its influence to comparative health,
comfort and happiness. The fact is peculiarly
applicable to those terrible and prevalent disor
ders called.YcrroMs Complaints, iu which medicine
is ofso feeble avail ;being often entirely useless—
as in cases of confirmed Dyspepsia, Paralysis,
Tic Dolorcaux, llronchitis, Chronic Rheumatism,
Nervous Headache, and many others. In all these
disorders DR. CHRISTIE’S GALVANIC
RINGS, BELTS, NECKLACES, BRACE-
LETS, &c., are of immediate and certain bene
fit.
Many distinguished Physicians have had the can
dor to acknowledge the wonderful efficacy of Dr.
Christie’s discoveries, and to aid in the extension
of their benefits. Tho following has been volun
tarily given from 0110 of the most distinguished
physicians in Boston, Mass.
“FOR ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.
“I, the undersigned, without the least hesitation
do feel warranted iu asserting that the Galvanic
articles, invented by Dr. A. II. Christie, contain
very valuable properties, particularly in cases of
Spinal. Complaints, Spasmodic Contractions, and
Irritations of the Nerres, also in cases of Apoplexy
and Epileptic Fits. They have been used by many
of my patients, who have received essential bene
fit from them. I have conversed with many who
hav« llfiflrirpil tn inn llmir tinrlni.1 no.<fi,l n .. An
e declared to me their perfect confidence ii
them, especially in Rheumatic affections. ! -
not unlikely,as Rheumatism is certainly a disease
of the nervous character, and it is in some myste
rious connection with the nerve* of the human
system, that the remarkable efficacy of these ar
ticles is owing. Although I cannot explain the
rationale of tiie benefit of Christie’s inventions,
still so manv authentic cases have come under
my notice, that, were I otherwise disposed, I must
gi\*e in—for "seeing is believing." The science
of Physiology has many extraordinary fucts to be
explained, and these new medical discoveries aro
among the most strnuge and important.

BE NOT DECEIVED.
Be not deceived with vain hope—lay not the
flattering unction to your soul, that disease will
cure itself, especially if that disease be Consump
tion or Liver Complaint. If you would be re
stored to health you must use the means which
benevolence and n kind Providence have placed
within your reach. The great and universally
popular remedy for Consumption, aud all Chron
ic diseases, is now for sale in every city and im
portant town in tiie country, and ut a price too,
that any one can afford to buy, You havo no ex
cuse, therefore, for neglecting to save your life
nnd health. Bo not deceived with quack nos
trums, or any imitations of this invnluahlo medi
cine. An individual nt Charleston, S. Carolina,
recently purchased four bottles of a doubtful kind
—one of the most celebrated physicians in tiie
city, told the deceived patient, fie must send that
article back, and exchange it for Dr. Wistar’s
Balsam of Wild Cherry. Bo not deceived—re
member that jt is Dr. Wistar’s Balsam that cures
—it is Dr. Wistar’s that brings back the blosoin of
health to the cheek, lustro to tho eye, strength to
tiie system, joy and gladness to the soul, nnd hap
piness to man—it is Dr. Wistar’s that ha* gained
such celebrity among tiie sick, astonished tiie
