Slgrimltuvf, IHnnufiirturni, &r. THE SOUTH. Alabama Goods in Boston. fcg” We have frequently alluded to the extraor dinary efforts that have been made in several of the Southern States, within three or four years to estab lish cotton factories. At first, these efforts were rid iculed, especially by the Northern and Eastern States. The South, it was argued, was wholly un fitted for the business of manufactures. Quite a controversy took place through the Merchant’s Mag azine. Gen. James took ground in favor of the South, and Mr. Lawrence replied at length. The one contended that the South contained all the ele ments of a great manufacturing country, and the other took a position exactly the reverse. Certain it is, however, the experiment is in progress, and on the largest scale. Hundreds of manufactories are now in successful operation in Georgia, South Caroli na, Mississippi, Alabama, and other Southern States. At the last exhibition of the Franklin Institute in this city, coarse cotton goods were exhibited from some of the South Carolina mills, to which premi ums were awarded. It will be seen also from the following paragraph, which we copy from a late number of the Boston Traveller, that Alabama has actually produced cotton goods, which have sold with advantage not only in Boston, but in New York. “ The Tuscaloosa Manufacturing Company, loca ted at Scottsville, Ala., have recently sold goods manufactured at their factory, in this market and in New York. The goods are of coarse fabric, of the kind denominated Osnaburgs. The factory at which they were made is now in successful operation, not withstanding the high price of cotton ; and last year the company made a dividend of 8 per cent. — They have made dividends as large as 40 per cent. The factory has been in operation since 1836, and is managed in person by Mr. David Scott, who is al so the largest slaveholder, and who last year caused extensive additions to be made in the machinery and buildings. Th goods are sold in this city by one of tlie largest houses in Pearl street.” The argument now held by the Southern journal ists is, that inasmuch as they grow the raw material they can, by the agency of slave or free labor, man ufacture it into coarser fabrics, and sell these at such a rate .‘is to d< fy competition. And such would seem to be the case, judging from the statement quoted from the Boston Traveller. The question naturally arises—what will be the effect upon New England J The capitalists in that section of the country have invested millions in cotton mills; many of them in tended particularly for the manufacture of coarser ar ticles. The South has appeared in the field as a competitor, and under circcumstances of quite a for midable character. But Yankee ingenuity will, we venture to predict, soon devise a remedy. If the South makes it apparent that she can manufacture coarse goods cheaper than New England, that branch of the business will soon be abandoned at Lowell, Lawrence and similar locations, and finer fabrics will be substituted. This change has already taken place to a certain extent, as we are informed on competent authority. To shew the spirit of the .South on this subject, we invite attention to the fol lowing article from a late number of the Richmond Republican: “ The Southern States produce more than three fourths in quantity and value of the Cotton of the world. “It stated in a late speech of Gov. Hammond of South Carolina, upon the authority of the report of the Secretary of the Treasury, that the whole value of exports for 1849, including cotton, will be £99,- 500,000, being more than two-thirds of the whole domestic exports from the United States for that year, which was £131,“710,081, being more than two thirds of the whole domestic exports from the North for the same year, which was £32,210,081. The remarkable fact is also shown that the domestic ex ports of the South, exclusive of Cotton, her great staple, are £32,074,176, while all the exports of the North, are $32,210,081, leaving the value of her cotton over the above. “ What the South might attain if her attention were fully turned to manufacturing her own pro ductions, may be inferred from the following reports which have been made from Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina: There are in operation, Manufactures. Spindles. Capital Bales annu invested. ally consu med. Tennessee 30 36,000 100,000 12,000 Alabama 10 12,580 500,000 5,500 Georgia, 36 51,140 121,000 27,100 S. Carolina 10 36,500 1,000,000 15,000 92 136,220 £1,721,000 59,600. “ If the South, under such circumstances, with such a rich diversity of climate and soil ; with a bound less capacity of producing everything neccessary to the comfort and sustenance of man ; with unsurpas sed manufacturing and commercial its well as agri cultural advantages; with a population of one mil lion, cannot maintain her independence in the Amer ican Union, —nay more, if she does not become in the next half century, the most populous, the most powerful, and the most wealthy of this American confederacy, she will have nothing to blame but her own supineness and lethargy, and instead of grumb ling at the North, will perish with the mortifying consciousness that she is the author of her own ruin.” This subject is important in more respects than one, and we shall watch it closely. Our brethren of the South appear really to have roused them selves. —N. A. Farmer. From the North American Farmer. A Model Pennsylvania Farm. \Y e were much gratified a few days since with a ramble over the remarkable fine Dairy Farm of Mr. Isaac Newton, in Delaware county, and about eight miles from the city. An estate in better condition, whether we refer to the meadows and grass lands, or to the coming crop of Mediterranean Wheat, Oats and Indian Corn, it has never been our good fortune to examine. Ihe entire farm consists of two hundred and fifty-two acres of excellent land, in a remarkably fertile country, agreeably alternated with hill and dale—the general character of the scenery being wavy and graceful, rather than abrupt—and finely dotted with groves of giant trees. The whole is well fenced, a feature that always denotes sound judgment in a farmer; and .at the present time there are one hundred acres fit for the scythe—a bout sixty acres grazed, and sixty or more arable— all being beautifully clean and clear of rank weeds and sour grass. From twenty acres of corn, a yield of from eighty to one hundred bushels per acre is contemplated—from a very heavy piece of oats, eighty bushels to the acre—and quite an equal pro portion of wheat in a third and large field. A few years since, one field produced seventy-two and a half bushels of corn per acre (hills seven feet apart) —fifty bushels of potatoes aud seventeen cart loads of pumpkins. The estate employs seventeen regu lar hands, and twenty-two in busy seasons, with fourteen horses and four noble oxen—and to judge | from the perfection of all around and about, and the remarkably “good heart” in which the land is kept —of a verity, neither men or horses could have had much idle time. On enquiry, we found that a por tion of the estate, bearing a very heavy swartli of grass, (timothy, green grass and clover mixed) was grazed from the middle of April to the 20th of May —a fact that speaks well for the quality of tho soil. Ihe display of tine cows presents to the eye of the farmer or breeder, one of the finest exhibitions ot the kind in the country, especially at milking time, when all are assembled in a vast barn-yard —and the cattle sheds for their winter accommodation, the barns and other out buildings, are extensive and ot a superior character. The cows are nearly all of a high class Devon breeds, known everywhere as capi tal milkers. ‘\Ye saw but few of other kinds, though it would not be’ right to pass unnoticed a superb Durham bull, and some three months’ old calves ot prime breed and great value—several of which are destined fur the South. There are 75 cows in all on the farm, 66 of which are in milk. Mr. Newton lias also a capital chicken-house, and about 700 lay ing hens—besides pens with 150 hogs. —There is, however, one feature on this farm, worthy ot imita tion in many districts of our country. Me refer to the ingenious and most profitable specimen ot un der-draining—by which 30 acres ot deep soft bog, not worth a cent an acre when a swamp —have been converted into dry and wonderfully rich soil, which after the dressing of a coat of lime, to kill oft the weeds, swamp grass, reeds, Ac., produces full three tons of the best hay per acre! This is not all—for the stone drains having been turned into a stagnant ditch, have converted it into a meandering brook that “babbles by” over a sandy and pebbly bottom— fertilizing in its course a large section of land. But we are already extending our limits, and are there fore compelled to omit any remarks upon a straw berry plantation, 20 acres of majestic woods, aud the substantial “stone hedges,” that bid fair to last to the end of time. When it is remembered that ag riculture is one of the most worthy pursuits of man, the foundation as it wore of national prosperity—for the productions of nature are in all eases the ele ments of art —it is with a sincere commingling of pride and pleasure that we wander over such a mod el American farm as that of Mr. Isaac Newton. Encourage lour Own Mechanics. Do not send abroad for help, if you have work to do—when it can be done in your own neighborhood —perhaps at your next door. Encourage your own honest, industrious, faithful mechanics. They need all the work they can get. By such a course, you keep money at home—assist the worthy, and have just as good work performed. It is the only way to make a town prosperous, to support your schools and churches. Where there is a disposition to send a hundred miles for articles that, to say the least, could be manufactured at your own door, there will always be little or no business done in the place — the churches will be thinly attended and all kinds of labor extremely dull.—Wherever mechanics are the best employed, prosperity is seen —the social virtues predominate—travelling mountebanks and pedlers retire in disgust, and a kindly, brotherly feeling is experienced, which is the source of unspeakable happiness. Whatever you have to be done, look around and see if your neighbors cannot do it. If you have a house to build or a shoe to tap, a harness to be made or a pump to be bored, a pack of cards to be printed or a well to be dug, just look among your neighbors, before you undertake to send abroad, and if yon have none around you capable of the task, it will be time enough to look elsewhere. It is a wrong idea, to suppose nothing is serviceable that is made at home. \Ye know of many an instance where men have refused to purchase work made by their neighbors,and sent to a distant city for the articles they needed, and paid a third more for them, when behold, they had been manufactured and sent away to sell by the very neighbors of whom they refused to purchase. Let it be the motto of all —I will encourage my own neighbors. In turn you will be encouraged al so. A mutual feeling of good will and kindness will spring up in your midst, and prosperity will be observable in every street and in every dwelling.— Boston Olive Branch. Remedies against Moths. It is an old custom with some liousewifes to throw into their drawers every year, a number of fir cones, under the idea that their strong resinous smell might keep away the moth. Now, as the odor of these cones is due to turpentine, it occurred to Reaumur to try the effect of this volatile liquid. lie rubbed one side of a piece of cloth with turpentine, and put some grubs on the other; the next morning they were all dead, and strange to say, had voluntarily a bandoned their sheaths. On smearing some paper slightly with oil, and putting this into a bottle with some of the grubs, the weakest were immediately killed ; the most vigorous struggled for two or three hours, quitted their sheaths, and died in convulsons. It was soon abundantly evident that tho vapor of oil or spirits of turpentine acts as a terrible poison to the grubs. Perhaps it may be said that this remedy is worse than the disease, but, as Reaumur justly observes, we keep away from a newly painted room, or leave oft’ for a few days a coat from which stains have been removed by turpentine, why therefore can we not once a year keep away for a day or two from rooms that have been fumigated with turpentine. It is however surprising, how small a quantity of turpentine is required ; a small piece of paper or linen just moistened therewith, and put into the war drobe or drawers a single day, two or three times a year, is a sufficient preservation against moths. A small quantity of turpentine dissolved in a little spirits of wine (the vapor of which is also fatal to the moth) will entirely remove the offensive odor, and yet be a sufficient preservative. The fumes of burning paper, wool, linen, feathers, and of leather, are also effectual, for the insects perish in any thick smoke; but the most effectual smoke is that of to bacco. A coat smelling but slightly of tobacco is sufficient to preserve a whole drawer. We trust our fair readers will not scold us for thus affording their husbands or lovers an additional excuse for perpe trating a bad habit. The vapor of turpentine and the smoke of tobacco are also effectual in driving a way flies, spiders, ants, earwigs, bugs, and fleas. The latter tormentors are so abundant on the continent, ;is frequently to deprive the weary traveller of his night’s rest. If he would provide himself with a phial, containing spirits of wine and turpentine in equal parts, and would sprinkle a few drops over the sheets and coverlid before retiring to rest, he will probably have reason to be grateful for the hint. Foreigners who are in tbe habit of smoking in their bed-rooms —a habit which excites surprise and dis gust in England ; it will now be seen, however, that there is a reason for the practice. loung Men —Agricultural. Whatever may be your choice of future occupa tion—w hatever calling or profession you may select, there is certainly none more honorable or enviable than that of a farmer. The patriarch of the fields, as he sits beside his cottage door when his daily toil is over, feels an inward calm never know n in the halls of pride. Ilis labor yields him unpurchaseable health and repose. I have observed w ith more grief and pain than Fean express, the visible tokens which appear in all directions of a growing disposition to avoid agricultural pursuits, and to rush into some ot the over-crowded professions, because a corrupt and debasing fashion has thrown around them the tinsel of imaginary respectability. Hence the farmer, in stead of preparing his child to follow in the path of usefulness himself has trod, educates him for a sloth: ?is sisiiss. labor is considered vulgar; to work is ungenteel, the jack-plane is less respectable than the lawyer’s green bag ; the handles of the plough less dignified than the yard-stick. Unfortunate infatuation ! How melancholy is this delusion which unless it be check ed by a wholesome reform in public opinion, will cover our country with wreck aud ruin. This state of things is striking at the very foundation of our national greatness ; it is upon agriculture that we mainly depend for our continued prosperity, and dark and evil will be the day when it falls into dis repute. What other pursuit offers so sure a guar anty of an honest independence, a comfortable sup port for a dependent family Where else can we look but to the productions of the soil for safety of investment, and for an ample return ? In commer cial speculations all is chance and uncertainty, change and fluctuation, rise and fall. In the learned pro fessions scarce one in ten make enough to meet their incidental expenses; how then are we to account for this fatal misdirection of public opinion \ To Grow Flowers in Winter. —Do the Ladies wish to make flowers grow in winter ? Then saw off the branch of the shrub that you wish, and lay it for an hour in a running stream. Then carry it into a warm room, and fix it upright in a wooden box or tub containing water. Allow it to remain in it 12 hours, when it must be removed and water added, with which a small quantity of vitriol is mixed to prevent its putrifying. In the course of some hours the blossoms begin to make their appearance and af terwards the leaves. If more lime be added, the process is quickened, while, ii’ the lime be not used at all, the process is retarded, and the leaves appear before the blossoms. 1 1 (T'ljf Hkmiirist. “ Let dimpled mirth his temples twine, With tendrils of the laughing vine.” From Uncle Sam.

Old stories very often have a forcible application to present times. The following anecdote we met with lately in an exchange paper: ‘ How is it, John, that you bring the wagon home in such a condition V 4 1 broke it driving over a stump.’ ‘ Where ?’ 1 Back in the woods half a mile or so.’ * But why did you run against the stump ? Couldn’t you see how to drive straight i’ ‘ I did drive straight, sir, and that is the very rea son I drove over it. The stump was directly in the middle of the road,’ * 4 Why, then, did you not go round it.’ 4 Because, sir, the stump had no right in the mid dle of the road, and 1 had a right in it.’ ‘True, John, the stump had not ought to have been in the middle of the road, but I wonder that you were so foolish as not to consider that it was there, and that it was stronger than your wagon.’ 4 Why father, do you think that 1 am always go ing to give up my rights ? not I. lam determined to stick up to them, come what will.’ ‘But what is the use, John, of standing up to rights, when you only get a greater wrong by so doing ?’ 4 1 shall stand up for them at all hazards.’ 4 Well, John, all I have to say is this—hereafter you must furnish your own wagon.’ In the political world there is a very large and ugly stump, placed directly in the middle of the high road over which our great legislative wagon has to pass. What is worse, too, some of our South ern fellow-citizens helped the North to place the stump exactly in its present position, or rather dig away the earth which had previously hidden it.— These very same politicians now insist on driving directly over the stump, because it is in the middle of the road, it being one of their undoubted rights to use that portion of the highway. Little care they whether the wagon is broken or not in the passage; they insist on their rights at all hazards. \V ould it not be proper for them to reflect upon the agency they had in giving the stump its present position, before they put into practice their threats to break the wagon upon it, merely because those who helped them to put it there, fancying it a great improvement to the highway, will not assist in its removal i There is one thing that is very certain: the people who own the vehicles that travel over this road, will take verv good care that their rash drivers in future their own wagons—jVatrhez Courier.

He brought a great amount of scientific learning and research to the support of this odd conceit. There was one practical way of testing it: namely, by boiling fleas in water, and if they should turn red, a triumph awaited the philosopher; his theory was verified. If boiling should not have the col oring effect upon them, it would be positive that they did not belong to the respectable family of lobsters. The experi ment was no sooner suggested than it was tried. The fleas were boiled. With intense anxiety Sir Joseph watches them in the pot; incredulously sees them retain their original col or ; wipes the perspiration from his forehead, and looks more closely; indignantly observes the perverse insect, in utter dis respeot to his theory, putting on no change of hue ; until lie vents his chagrin and disgust, and, at the same time, recants his theory in the exclamation: “ Fleas are not lobsters — blast their eyes I” The Three Cases.—A few weeks ago a lonely traveller was seen approaching a solitary log hut which stands fifty miles from any house, in the cen tre of a western prairie. The tenant of the cabin was much struck by the woe-begone looks of the traveller who approached, holding his knapsack in his hand. The following confab took place : “ What is your opinion of tho Webster case ?” asked the traveller. “ Never heern of it,” answered the squatter. “ And what do you think of the Forrest Divorce case “ Never heern of him naytlier,” responded the squatter. “ And —and —as to the Galphin claim,” continu ed the traveller. “ Never heern of him,” was the quick response of the squatter. The stranger burst into tears. “ Stranger!” he cried in an anguish of a joy “I'll stay with you a few weeks. It will take some three weeks for those three cases to reach this quarter ; and when they and then, I’ll strike out for Japan.” Beautiful, oh beautiful, were many of the ladies we passed on the streets, yesterday, as we trudged along; counting the rosy hours for the want of hot ter employment. We could scarce keep from “lay ing hands” upon some of them, in all brotherly kindness, and saluting them with a kiss, “ devout and holy.” We didn't do it though. But we saw the thing done. A gallant young man and a beau tiful girl met —“ Oh,” exclaimed she, “ I’m so hap py !” “Heaven bless you!” replied he, and in a mo ment there was a rustling of silk, and a sound, like —what shall we compare it to—a sound as grateful to the ear as the popping of a champagne bottle, when the anxious cork leaps from its rude embrace —and such a sparkling of bright eyes! Well, well thought we, if brother and sister loves so fondly, how is it with mere lovers, and we dropped into Mac's store to keep up the excitement. Dr. de GRAFFENRIED’S CELEBRATED RHEUMATIC LINIMENT. 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 Chrome 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 jniinfuland dis tressing malady. His note-book contains upwards of three hundred cases, in which it has been used within the above 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 ; and what may appear yet more remarkable and extra ordinary, is, that when the patient has been once relieved, the disease is permanently cured , 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. L T p 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 into the English language, and had used all the remedies of any notoriety then in 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 Surgeons of our own, and of every other country. But the un dersigned Matters himself that his remedy will cure this most painful disease, when all others have failed, and that he shall have been an humble instrument in the hands of God, of relieving the human family of a vast amount of suffering. E. L de GRAFFENRIED, M. D. CERTIFICATES. FROM COL. A. K. AYER. Dr. E. L. de Graffenried —Learning that you are about to manufacture for the public, your valuable 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 froni 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 w'as taken down in January last, with a violent attack of Rheumatism ill nearly all my joints, so badly, that I could not pull off my shoes without aid ; nor could 1 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 bui very little. Up to the Ist of April, I was all the time in suffering and pain ; I 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, 1 could not have done if my life had de pended on it. I could also use, open and bend my fingers, which was an impossibility the day before. I rose in the morning from my bed entirely relieved of pain. I used one bottle and an eight ounce vial of your Rheumatic Liniment, and in ten days, I was relieved. I would not have been in the condition which 1 had been ten days before 1 called on you, for any amount of money that could be given me ; for what is life worth when in constant pain and misery! 1 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 stiff 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 Iter and she now has the use of her neck as well as ever site had ; aud 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, 1 was induced to try a bottle of it, and after three days, 1 was so much relieved as to he 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, Ga., Oct. 13, 1819. Dr. IC. 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 preset iptions for its cure, with hut 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 testily to the efficacy of Dr. de Graffenried's Rheu matic Liniment in the case of Air. F. S.

Dear Sir —Some time in January last, Mrs. McKee was taken very ill with Inffammatory Rheumatism in her shoul der joints, extending to her elbow joint, and arm, which dis abled her from using her urm 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 bottle, she was entirely relieved, aud the relief was man ifest or sensible 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. E. dc Gruffcuried. 11. C. McKEE. Columbus, Oct. 19th, 1849. Dr. de Graffenried—Dear .Sir: 1 take pleasure in saying, 1 have a boy who was so badly afflicted with Rheumatism, that he could not raise his hand to Ills head, and had nearly lost the use of his arm. 1 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. Pim.ADSi.riUA, March 3d, 1850. Cot. A. n. Ragan —.Sir, it affords ine great pleasure to tie able to bear testimony to the efficacy and virtues of Ur. dc GraffenrieXs Rheumatic JAnimcut. I have been sorely afflicted for the last six years with what I lieliev ed to he, and what eminent Physicians of this city pronounced, Rheu matic gout, for several winters past I have been confined to iny room and bed nearlyall the time. In January last, I had an attack 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.) Its effects were astonishing and decidedly beneficial from its first application. In a few days iny back, wrists and ankles were entirely relieved (aud so continue) of all the soreness and pains, and the swellings reduced, with the use of less than one bottle. I have been iu the dischargt of my ordinary business ever since. 1 consider it an extraordinary, and decidedly the most efficacious remedy for this disease, which I have ever met with. And most cheer fully recommend its use to all who may be afflicted with it. Respectfully Yours, N. W. BRIDGES*, Jones’ Hotel. Baltimore, March 30. 1850. Ur. de Graffenried —Devr Sip., for the last twelve years. I have sot fercc very severely with the Rheumatism, having been nearly one fourth of the time confined to my bed by it. 1 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 iny return home, 1 so far recovered, as to be able to walk about a little. About six weeks since. 1 had a severe attack which again con fined me to iny bed, 1 was in great pain and scarcely able to move my limbs, 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 ofmy friends, and showed me 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. I am now able to attend to business, and fondly hope all those afflict ed, as I have been, may lie as speedily relieved, as 1 have lieen tvilh your medicine. Wishing you all the blessings you deserve dear sir. Your grateful and obedient Servant, GEO. WARDS WORTH. Columbus, Ga„ Oct. 20, 1819. Ur. de Graffinried —Dear Sir, I take pleasure in giving you the particulars of iny affliction by, and relief from Rheumatism. During Ihe 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 I.iniinent, ns some thing new, and which had cured him: and in one month from the time I commenced the application, l was well, and clear of the Rheu matism as 1 ever was, and have continued so to this time.

This sueceds in curing diseases of the most hopeless character after all other means had failed, and that too, in many instances, without ire >g the patient.has long teen the subject of general remark, exhibiting as it does, in liold relief the difference between restoring a case that hastieen ah saint Aif abandoned, and simply raising another, that hun dreds of others could cure. Such cases can be pointed out in almost every county in Georgia, where some poor, decrepid, helpless being, after testing every local means without avail have sent off, as a dernier resort, a description of their diseases to a distance, in many instances hundreds of mi lei, and received back those health restoring remedies that have restored them again to health and to society, to their own astonishment and their neighliors wonder, putting at naught the sneers of antagonistic interests, and adding new finger |iosts at every post office and cross roads, pointing the way the city of refuge. Without subjecting himself to the charge of presumption, he would yet boldly say, that he firmly believes that nine-tenths of the so called incurable cases in Georgia, are yet within the reach of medicine, and can be cured by pursuing a proper course of medication, w ith the ex ercise of necessary care and perseverance, on the part of the patient which iu all cases of a lingering character, are of the last importance! The great facilities for this kind of treatment presented in the cheap postage system, has ls-. ii taken advantage of by thousands who hap pily can indirectly attribute their present goes! health to that noble spe cimen of liberal government; and there are thousands more who airy reap the same advantages, by simply pursuing a similar course. |,*-t the afflicted If lie cannot write himself, get his neighbor to do it for him. give a history of his case. age. habits, and symptoms, the same as if talking to a physician.

The charge for treatment is only ($5) five dollars, monthly, a sum sufficiently small to obviate the fear of risk to any one. and “yet suth cient to preserve linn from loss in his extensive administrations.

Mv feet were both reel ed or clubbed from birth, the toes turned inwards, the bottoms turned lack wards, and the fl>|>s forward, which threw me on the outside of my feet, on which I walked up to the time of the ojwrnli. ii. There was a large lump on the outside of each foot, w here I rested the weight of iny body in walking. I applied to Professor James Weaver. of Mem phis, Tenn. who is distinguished for his surgical skill, and on the 2?lh day from the time of the operation, he put straight shoes on my feet, they being straight before me and flat on tbe bottoms.
