ROBERT FINDLAA, May 21, 1850. o — ll BROWN’S Etm'Tiiic ructissin POWER PRESS. rpilE advantages of this new POWER PRESS, and its superiority X over all others, are as follows: The power applied is multiplied 440 times, by the and Eccen tric pully, that is, one hundred pounds power applied to the will exert a force 24,000 pounds on the Cotton. The whole top of the bale box is open to receive the Cotton, and it may be put as near the Gin House as is desired. It is three times as powerful as a screw of 18 inches diameter, tiiat has a nine inch pitch of thread with the same length of Lever, and of course the horse has to walk hut one third as far, for tiie reason that a lever is required but one-third as long to do the same work. And further, tiie Press follower descends with much greater rapidity at tiie commencement of the operation, when but little power is required, which shortens tiie distance travelled by the horse, in proportion to the increased velocity of the follower at the start. This Press can be made very compact, and equally powerful, by using the wheel and axle,” and can be so modified as to answer any purpose where a Press is necessary for manufacturing or domestic purposes. For Cotton it requires one-fourth less work to build, and three-fourths less work to raise, than the screws, and if a cast iron Ec centric wheel is used, it will not be much over half the work to build as a screw. For Pressing Cotton, Tobacco, Hemp, Hay, Sic. it cannot be excelled. There is one-third less timber in this Press than in the screw, and it is certainly the cheapest ever built. The whole cost ofthe Irons will not exceed 945, which may be had ofC. H. Levy, of Macon, who is the only person authosized to furnish them. This sum is exclusive of freight anil the cost of right to use tiie Press. If the Eccentric wheel is made of Iron, tiie cost will be 10 or sls more for the Iron work, but it will materially lessen the cost of labor on the wood work of the w'heel, and will be the cheap est in the end. Any good Mechanic can construct the Press from the drawings and specifications which will accompany each right. I shall sell a single right at S2O, which sum can be sent by mail at my risk, provided the fact of sending is certified to by tiie Postmaster pf the place where the letter is mailed. Each right will be aecompa oied by an engraving and a full description, so that any mechanic will ne able to build lhe Press. Any communications, post-paid, will be bunctually attended to. A. D.

IN introducing this medicine to the people of the United States, for sale, the proprietors beg leave to submit the following statement of Dr. de Graffenried, its discoverer and inventor: The undersigned frankly states that he has prescribed this medicine for the last twenty-two years, in all forms of Acute and Chronic Rheu matism, with a success unparalleled in the annals of of medicine; and he has no hesitation in saying, that it is decidedly the most valuable remedy ever yet discovered for the relief of this most painful and dis tressing malady. His note-book contains upwards of three hundred cases, in which it has been used w-itbin the aliove named period, and in no single instance has it come to his knowledge, of its having failed to effect a cure when persevered in. Many of the cases were from four to ten years standing; end w hat may appear yet more remarkable and extra ordinary, is, that when the patient has been once relieved, the disease is permanently curetl , remains so, not a solitary instance having been reported to him of its return. All he would ask for this remedy is a fair, impartial and patient trial, for the results he entertains no apprehension. Up to the time of this discovery, the undersigned had well studied the origin, progress and character of this disease, and is well assured, had consulted every author on its treatment, who had written or been translated intothe English language, and had used all the remedies of any notoriety then ill Vogue with the profession, with however, very rarely any relief to poor suffering humanity. It has baffled the skill and science of the most eminent Physicians and sturgeons of our own, and of every other country. Rut the un dersigned flatters himself that his remedy will cure this most painful disease, when all others have failed, and that lie shall have been an humble instrument in the hands of Cod, of relieving the human family of a vast amount of suffering. E. L. de GRAFFENRIED, M. D. CERTIFICATES. FROM COI.. A. IC. AYER. Dr. E. L. de Graff envied —Learning that you are about to manufacture ior the public, yocljfealuable Rheumatic Lin iment, I take pleasure in stating that I believe it one of the most valuable remedies ever used for that common and most distressing disease, having witnessed its effects upon a ne gro man of mine, who had been afflicted for four years, un til almost every joint was enlarged, and the body otherwise emaciated. By the use of four or five bottles, in three weeks, he was relieved entirely from pain. Columbus, Ga., Oct.'24, 1849. A. K. AYER. Columbus, October 30, 1849. Dear Sir—About the first of April last, I came to Colum bus to get medical assistance, and was advised to call on you as having a remedy that would afford me speedy relief. I was taken down in January last, with a violent attack of Rheumatism in nearly all my joints, so badly, that 1 could not pull olf my shoes without aid ; nor could I ascend or de scend steps, or pull off my clothes without assistance. My right arm and hand were nearly useless ; the fingers con tracted and swollen; the right knee swollen and stiffened, so that I could not bend it hut very little. Up to the Ist of April, I was all the time in suffering and pain ; 1 rubbed with your Rheumatic Liniment my limbs three times, and was the next morning enabled to descend a long flight of steps, without aid of crutch or stick, and back to my room—l could also bend my knee and bring it up to the chair, which the previous day, I could not have done if my life had de pended on it. 1 could also use, open and bond my fingers, which was an impossibility the day before. I rose in the morning from my bed entirely relieved of pain. 1 used one bottle and an eight ounce vial of your Rheumatic Liniment, and in ten days, I was relieved. 1 would not have been in the condition which I had been ten days before I called on you, for any amount of money that could he giten me ; for what is life worth when in constant pain and misery! I consider your Rheumatic Liniment, the most valuable med icine in the world. I am, dear sir, your friend, J. H. SMITH. Columbus, Nov. 1, 1849. Dear Sir—My negro woman Patience, a cook, had a still neck from a painful Rheumatic affection, for six or seven ! years, and could not turn her neck except with the body. I was induced to purchase a bottle of your Liniment, which was applied in August or September of 1848. One bottle entirely relieved her and she now has the use of h.er neck as well as ever she had ; and up to this time it has not return ed. GARLAND B. TERRY. Philadelphia, Feb. 1, 1850. Dr. de Graffenried—Dear Sir: Having been afflicted, for some time past, with a severe attack of Rheumatism. and having heard of the wonderful effects of your Rheumatic Liniment, I was induced to try a bottle of it, aud after three days, I was so much relieved as to be able to leave the house and attend to business. 1 have perfectly recovered from the disease, and would cheerfully recommend the Liniment to all those who are afflicted. GEORGE HOOD, 27 Powell st. Columbus, Go., Oct. 13, 1849. Dr. E. L. de Graffenried—Dear Sir: Agreeable to your request, I give my testimonial as to the virtue of your Lini ment in the cure of Rheumatism. Being attacked in one joint of my finger, last winter, with acute Rheumatism, and having used many of the unnumbered prescriptions for its cure, with but little benefit, I made application of two bottles of your Liniment, which I am happy to say relieved me in a very short time. I can recommend its use to all persons af fected in like manner. Very respectfully, F. S. CHAPMAN. I can testity to the efficacy of Dr. de Graffenried’s Rheu matic Liniment in the case of Mr. F. S. Chapman, as it came under my immediate observation. Oct. 13, 1849. R. A. WARE, M. D. Dear Sir—Some time in January last, Mrs. McKee was taken very ill with Inflammatory Rlieumatism in her shoul der joints, extending to her elbow joint, and arm, which dis abled her from using iter arm almost entirely $ and from the pain, want of sleep, and great restlessness, for not less than six weeks, I was induced by my friend, Mr. Luke Reed, to call on you for a bottle of your Liniment, and by using half the battle, she was entirely relieved, and the relief was man- ‘ ifest or seusible after three or four rubbings. lam of opinion it is one of the most valuable remedies that has ever been dis covered for Rheumatism : that, is, from my own knowledge, and that which I have heard from others. Dr. E. L. de GraffenrioA 11. C. McKEE. Columbus, Oct. 19th, 1849. Dr. de Graffenried—Dear Sir: I take pleasure in saying, I have a boy who was so badly afflicted with Rheumatism, that he couidnot raise his hand to his head, aud had nearly lost the use of Ins arm. I used the fourth of a bottle of your Rheumatic Liniment, which relieved him entirely. I con sider it a most valuable remedy for the cure of Rheumatism. RANDOLPH L. MOTT. Joses’ Hotel. Pnn.AUEi.pniA, March 3d, 1850. Col. A. Ft. Ragan- —Sir, it affords me great pleasure to be able to Wear testimony to the efficacy and virtues ol’ ljr. de Graffenried's Rheumatic Liniment. I have been sorely afflicted for the last six years with what I believ ed to be, and what eminent Physicians of this city pronounced, Rheu matic gout, for several winters past I have been confined to my room and bed nearly all the time. In January tost, I had an aMack as violent if not more so than usual, which prostrated me for about three weeks; on your recommendation I commenced the use of this Liniment. (.With I must confess but little faith.) Us effects w ere astonishing and decidedly beneficial from its first application. In a few days my back, wrists and ankles were entirely relieved land so continue) of ail the soreness and pains, and the swellings reduced, with the use of less than one bottle. I have been iu the discharge of my ordinary business ever since. I consider it an extraordinary, and decidedly the most efficacious remedy for this disease, which 1 have ever met with. And most cheer fully recommend its use to all who may be afflicted with it. Respectfully Yours, N. W. BRIDGE?, Jones’ Hotel. Baltimore, March 2d, IS3O. Dr. dc Graffenried —Dear Sir, for the last twelve years, I havesut feree very severely with the Rheumatism, having been nearly one fourth of the time confined to niy bed by it. I have had the best med ical aid to be found in various cities in the United States, with little or no benefit. I have also tried innumerable strongly recommended remedies, which have failed to effect a cure. I spent the last summer at the White Sulphur and Hot Springs in Virginia, to little purpose. After my return home, I so far recovered, as to be able to walk aliout a little. About six weeks since, I had a severe attack which again con fined -me to my bed, l was in great pain and scarcely able to move my limits, when a friend of mine called and informed me that you had dis covered an infallible remedy, and had cured many, and amongst them, one of my friends, and showed inc a letter from him stating the fact. I was induced to try your Rheumatic Liniment, and take pleasure in informing you that in less than twenty-four hours from the first appli cation I was perfectly free from pain, and continue so up to this time. lain now able to attend to business, and fondly hope all those afflict ed, as I have been, may be as speedily relieved, as I have been with your medicine. Wishing you all the blessings you deserve dear sir, Your grateful and obedient Servant, GEO. WARD3WORTH. Cottrurars, Ga., Oct. 20, 1849. Dr. de Graffenried— Dear Fir, I take pleasure in giving you the particulars of my affliction by, and relief from Rheumatism. During the spring of 1844 I was afflicted with a very severe attack of Inflam matory Rheumatism. I employed all the most celebrated remedies then known and used in similar cases, aided by medical advice, until September, 1845, with no satisfactory result whatever. I was then induced, by a rheumatic acquaintance, to try your Liniment, as some thing new, and which had cured him; and in one month from the time I commenced the application, I was well, and clear of the Rheu matism as I ever was, and have continued so to this time.

The success which during this long series of years, has attended big administrations, has, in many in.dar.ces. been such, as to over tonic the most inveterate prejudices in favor of theo’d order of thiugs, and to produce instead thereof, a conviction that even in med.cinc. as in other branches ofthe-physical sciences, new ideas may be advanc ed, and results achieved, that our ancestors would have deemed im possible, but which our posterity, thanks to the enlightenon nt of a coining age, may find easy of accomplishment. This succedsin curing diseases of the most hopeless character after all other means had failed,and that too, in many instances, without tee ing the fmtient. has long been the subject of general remark, exhibiting as it does, in bold relief the duiereuce between restoring a case that has been absolutely abandoned, ami simply raising another, that hun dreds of others could cure. Such cases can lie pointed out in almost every county in Georgia, where some poor, decrepid. helpless bring, after testing every local means without avail have sent off. ns- a dernier res- rt. a description of their diseases to a distance, in many instances hundreds of miles, and received back those health restoring remedies that have restored them again to health and to society, to their own astonishment and tlieir neighbors wonder, putting at naught the snee.s of ant'gonistic interests, and adding new finger posts at every post ofiice and cross roads,pointing the way tiie city of refuge. - Without subjecting himself to the charge of presumption, be would yet boldly say, that he firmly believes that nim -tcn.hs of the so called incurable cases in Georgia, are y. t w thin the reach of medicine.and can be cured by pursuing a proper course of tnedica*:or. with the ex ercise of necessary care and perseverance, on the part of rite patient, which in all cases .fa lingering character, are of the las’ importance. The great facilities for this kind of treatment presented in the cheap postage system, has been taken advantage of by thousands who hap pily can indirectly attribute their present go. and health to that” noble spe cimen of lilieral government; and there are thousand* re who man reap the same advantages, simply pursuing a similar course.

The charge for treatment is only <s.*) five dollars, monthly, a sum sufficiently small to obviate the fear of risk to any one. and yet suffi cient to preserve him from loss in his extensive administrations. This done, call at the post office in a reasonable time, and receive your medicines with as much prretsi in as you would a letter; pre pare and use them as directed, arid persevere; report progress month ly, or oftener, a*may be necessary, and closely v.afi.h the jw ,gre*a of the cure.

My feet were both reel ed or clubbed from birth, the toes turned inwards, the bottoms turned backwards, and the tops forward, which threw me on the outside of my feet, on which I walked up to the time of the operation. There was a large lump on the outside of each foot, where I rested the weight of my body in walking. I applied to Professor J.s mes Weaver, of Mem phis, Tenn. who is distinguished forhissurgical skill, and on the 23th day from tne time of the operation, he put straight shoes on my feet, they being straight before me and fiat on the bottoms. 1 can now walk on them very well and am improving daily and expect in a short time to run and jump equal to any neighbor. There is no pain atten ding the operation but what can lie easily stood by any one, and (lur ing the whole operation there is scarcely any blood lost, and no sores or inclination, as most persons might suppose.
