A Pattern Wife.
There is a elas of persons never happy, unless
engaged in tormenting themselves. The following
dialogue from an English Journal, will not be with
out interest, perhaps, in this country.
Mrs. Bolingbroke. I wish I knew what was the
matter with me this morning. “W by do you keep
the paper all to yourself, my dear ?
Mr. Bolingbroke. Here it is for you, my dear
©
I have finished it.
Mrs. B. I humbly thank you for giving it to me
when you have done with it I hate stale news. Is
there anything in the paper? for I cannot be at the
trouble of hunting for it.
Mr. B. Yes my dear; there are the marriages of
two of our friends.
Mrs. B. Who ? who ?
Mr. B. Your friend the widow Nettleby to her
cousin John Nettleby.
Mrs. B. Mrs. Nettleby ! Lord! but why do you
tell me ?
Mr. B. Because you asked me my dear ?
Mrs. B. O, but it is a hundred times pleasanter
to read the paragraph one’s self. One loses all the
pleasure of the surprise by being told. Well, whose
was the other marriage ?
Mr. B. O, my dear, I will not tell you, I will leave
you the pleasure of the surprise.
Mrs. B. But you see, I cannot find it. How pro
voking you are, my dear! Do pray tell it me.
Mr. 13. Our friend, Mr. Ganby.
Mrs.B. Mr. Ganby! Dear! Why did not you
make me guess ? I should have guessed him di
rectly. But why do you call him our friend ? I
am sure he is no friend of mine, nor ever was. I
took an aversion to him, as you may remember, the
very first day I saw him. lam sure he is no friend
of mine.
Mr. B. lam sorry for it, my dear; but I hope
you will go and see Mrs. Ganby.
Mrs. B. Not I, indeed, my dear. Who was she ?
Mr. B. Miss Cooke.
Mrs. B. Cooke! But there are so many Cookes;
can’t you distinguish her any way ? lias she no
Christian name ?
Mr. B. Emma, I think. Y es, Emma.
Mrs. B. Emma Cooke! No; it cannot be my
friend Emma Cooke; for lam sure she was cut out
for an old maid.
Mr. B. This lady seemed to me to be cut out for
r good wife.
Mrs. B. May beso —I am sure I’ll never go to
see her. l‘ray, my dear, how came you to see so
much of her ?
Mr. B. I have seen very little of her, my dear, I
only saw her two or three times before she was mar
ried.
Mr. B. Then, my dear, how could you decide
that she was cut out for a good wife ? lam sure
you could not judge of her by seeing her only two
or three times, and before she was married.
Mr. B. Indeed, my love, that is a very just ob
servation.
Mrs. B. I understand that compliment perfectly
and thank you for it, my dear. I must own 1 can
bear any thing better than irony.
Mr. 13. Irony! my dear, 1 was perfectly in earn
est.
Mrs. B. Yes, yes; in earnest —so I perceive—l
may naturally be dull of apprehension, but my feel
ings are quick enough: I comprehend you too well.
Yes; it is impossible to judge of a woman before
marriage, or to guess what sort of a wife she will
make. I presume you speak from experience; you
have been disappointed yourself, and regrot your
choice.
Mr. 13. Mv dear, what did I say, that was like
this ? Upon my word I meant no such thing. 1
really was not thinking of yon in the least.
Mrs. B. No; you never think of me now. I can
easily believe that you were not thinking of me in
the least.
Mr. B. But I said that only to prove to you that
I could not be thinking ill of you, my dear.
Mrs. B. But I would rather that you thought ill
of me, than that you did not think of me at all.
Mr. B. Well, my dear, I will even think ill of
vou, if that will please you.
Mrs. B. Do you laugh at me ? Y hen it comes
to that, I am wretched. Never man laughed at
the woman he loved. As long as you had the |
slightest remains of love for me, you could not make
me an object of derision; ridicule and love are in
compatible, absolutely incompatible. Well, I have
done my best, to make you happy, but in vain. I
see lam not cut out to be a good wife. Happy,
happy Mrs. Granby!
Mr. B. Happy, I hope sincerely, that she will be
with my friend ; but my happiness must depend on
you, mv love : so, for my sake, if not for your own 4
be composed, and do not torment yourself with
such fancies.
Mr. B. I do wonder, whether this Mrs. Granby is
really that Miss Emma Cooke. I’ll go and see her
directly. See her I must.
Mr. B. lam heartily glad of it, my dear, for I am
sure, a visit to his wife will give my friend Granby j
real pleasure.
Mrs. B. I promise you, my dear, I do not go to
give him pleasure or you either; but to satisfy my
own — curiosity.
From the Ohio Cultivator.
“Is she a Lady 1”
How often do we hear the question asked, Is she
a lady ? I would ask in return, what are the requi
sites of a lady ? Is she a lady, who dresses fashion
ably and gaudily ? —who spends her time in idle
ness, or worse than idleness, because she is to proud
to work, while, perhaps, her father, husband or
brother toil from morn till night for her support ?
Is she who leaves her sick friend, —mother, perhaps
—in the care of a hired nurse, to attend a party of
pleasure or a ball ?—or, children in the care of a
mere child 2 Too often, alas! are these things done !
by those who claim the title of lady.
I was once asked in regard to a friend of whom I !
w T as speaking, Is she much of a lady ? I answered |
yes, in every sense of the word. I then asked the j
person what she meant by tlie term Lady. She an-;
swered by asking if she did her own work ? Yes ;
she sews, knits, and sometimes spins ; she goes with
her husband (who is a minister) to visit the poor
and sick ; she makes her husband’s clothes (except
coats) entirely; she can make nice, good bread, can
cook meat and vegetables almost to perfection, and
make puddings, pies and cake; she can also con
verse with you upon history, natural philosophy, as
tronomy, botany, Ac., or the common events of the
day ; and all in a very intelligent and lady-like man
ner.
A true lady will not think it beneath her, to do
anything that duty or circumstances may require,
low often do you hear it asked, is such or such an
one a lady ? and the reply is, oh no! she’s but a
farmer’s daughter, or wrife, as the case may be. I
Lave known farmer’s daughters, on being sent to a
boarding school, a few miles from home, become
ashamed to say their parents were far mere; asham
ed to own that they had ever milked a cow, washed
the dishes, or baked bread. I once heard a mother
say (a farmer’s wife, too) of her daughters, “I intend
to raise in 9 daughters ladies; they shall not work
and drudge about the kitchen, as I have done, ma
king their hands as hard and rough as a wash-wo
man’s. They would not look well at a fashionable
party or a ball room, after cooking over the stove
till their faces are as red as a man’s who works in
the sun all day.”
The notion of its being degrading (entertained by
a certain class) for a lady to do the work of her
own household, is fast passing away, and it is to be
hoped, never to be revived. What a noble example
of the true lady, in both theory and practice, had
we in the much lamented editress of our department
of the Cultivator. Long will she be remembered
by many of us, into whose hearts she had penned
her way. She was not ashamed to tell us, she did
her own work. And where is her superior in refine
ment and attainments ? Let us all strive, like her
to be true ladies. Asa lady once said, in writing to
her young sister, “ strive to be a lady in all you do,
in all you say; in all your actions, be a lady,’’
whether it be in the kitchen or parlor, be a lady.

Where hast thou Gleaned To-day.
BY M. G. SLEEPER.
The clear, sweet harmony of the great choral
hymn filled all the courts of heaven. The spirits
went and came on their love-fraught errands, but
when the voice of one died in the distance, other
tones came from afar, and other angels joined the
mighty choir. One of them was commissipned to
our earth, but he sang on till the sun dipped below
the wave, and the twilight glided past, scattering
her manifold, soft shadows.
As the stillness deepened, the commissioned one
left his place in the heavenly band. More than
once he paused in his flight. More and more slow
ly he approached the earth, as if reluctant to com
mence his task.
“ Obedience,” lie murmured at length. 44 What
if some reject my warning ? what if some scorn my
reproof? Did not men hate my Master? and am I
better than he ?”
So with this one question of deep significance, he
passed on. Noiseless, invisible, yet everywhere re
cognized and understood, he found no obstacle to
his viewless course. The barred cell of the crimi
nal and the palaces of kings, and the consecrated
temple, the throng and the solitude, were alike free
to his footsteps.
He entered the gorgeous mansion, and asked of
its princely owner.
“ Where has thou gleaned to day ?”
The young man laughed lightly as he replied,
44 In the field of my own pleasure. Am I not
master of myself ?”
The angel bent over a little child, and whispered,
44 W here has thou gleaned to-day ?” and the child
answered,
44 1 have been among the flowers. I made gar
lands of the sweet-scented valley-lily, and the hon
ey-suekle that the bee loves so well; and thanked
the great Father that he made them grow and blos
som.
The angel entered the chamber of a maiden who
sat looking out at the moonlight, and asked softly,
44 Where hast thou gleaned to-day ?”
44 Among the sick and sorrowing,” answered she,
gladly; 44 tor our Saviour has said, 4 Inasmuch as
ye have done it unto one of the least of these my j
brethren, ye have done it unto me.’ ”
The angel stood in the wilderness, and asked
sternly of one hiding there gold and jewels,
44 Where hast thou gleaned to-day ?”
The man answered with a frown,
44 In the field of theft; yet away with thy boding
voice, threatening the vengeance of the Eternal! —
Away! away!”
The angel passed amidst the graves, and asked of
a bereaved mother,
“ Where has thou gleaned to-day ?” and the lone
one answered,
44 In the field of prayer, and, behold! even now
have I received a blessing. Already is my mourn
ing turned to joy.”
A scholar sat in a vast library amidst the gather
ed lore of departed centuries. But the verse of the
poet, and the wisdom of the sage were forgotten in
the interest awakened by the volume of divine truth.
The angel looked a moment on his damp brow and
anxious eye, then gently whispered,
44 Where hast thou gleaned to-day ?”
The scholar sighed deeply, and said,
44 In the field of endeavor, but alas, I cannot un- j
derstand how man can be saved.”
The scholar wept and prayed, and soon the book j
glowed with light, and he exclaimed rapturously,
44 God has given his salvation, also unto me !”
Quickly the swift pinions of the angel beat the
air, and, rejoining the heavenly host, he proclaimed
the glad tidings of the return of another soul. The
countlesss multitude responded again, and yet again,
and these were the words of the chorus, 44 Blessing,
and honor, and glory, and power, be unto him that
sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, forever
and ever.”
Anecdote of Daniel Webster.—The Louisville
Journal tcdls the following capital anecdote of Web
ster, in a letter from Washington: The best piece
of sport that has lately occurred here, is the great
Dan’s. Nobody, indeed, unless sometimes Critten
den, is brighter, more festive, than grand Dan, when J
you get him into hilarious mood. He was in excel
lent humor, not long since at a party at Secretary
Ewing’s, and so. in sooth, were many others. Well,
! you remember the derisive name of 44 Solitude ”
which Ewing got, in former days, by one of his
speeches ; when the company was all in high glee,
in the large saloon, Black Dan came slowly up to
Ewing, where he stood, conspicuous to everybody,
and addressed him most earnestly in these lines,
which Cowper puts into the mouth of Alexander
Selkirk—
-44 Oh Solitude ! where are the charms,
That sages have seen in thy face.” v
44 Susan, stand up and let me see what you have
learned. What does c-h-a-i-r spell ?” 44 1 don’t
know, inarm.” 44 Why you ignorant critter ? what
do you always sit on?” 44 Oli, marm, I don’t like
to tell.” 44 What on earth is the matter with the
gal ? Toll what is it ?” 44 1 don’t like to tell it; it
was Bill Cross’s knee, bits, lie never kissed me but
j twice!” 44 Airtliquakes and apple-sarce!” oxclaim
| ed the school mistress and she fainted.
All Editor’s Retort. —At a late festival, a pret
ty Miss waited on the editor with a pie-plate of an
tique manufacture, in the centre of which lie espied
I the following couplet; —
“One sweet kiss,
Is the price of this.”
; This excited his naturally amorous disposition, and
as soon as an opportunity presented, he motioned
the young lady to his side, and pointed with liis knife
to the lines, said 44 Young lady, your pay is ready
whenever you present your bill!”
iC'-fT’ Irish politeness is pretty well touched off by
an anecdote which we heard not long since. It
seems an Irish gentleman was in company with a
beautiful young lady, to whom he was paying his
addresses; when on giving a shudder, she made use
of the common expression, that 44 someone was
walking over her grave.” The Irish lover, anxious
for every opportunity of paying liis compliments to
his mistress, exclaimed 44 By the powers, Madam,
but I wish I was the happy man.”
What a Stupid.—A spruce young buck was
boasting of his success with the fair, and among
other things declared that he might have sparked it
with a lady whom he named.
“ hy then,” said liis friend, “ did you neglect
such a golden opportunity ?”
u Because,’’ answered he, 44 she begged to be ex
cused, and I was such a deuced fool that I excused
! her!”

Curious Epitaph. —The following curious in
scription appears in a Churchyard, Pewsey, Dorset
shire ;
HERE LIES THE BODY
OF
Lady O’Loony,
Great Niece of Burke,
Commonly called the Sublime.
She was
Bland, passionate and deeply religious;
Also, she painted in
In water colors
And sent several Pictures,
To the Exhibition,
She was first cousin
To Lady Jones
And of such
Is the kingdom of heaven.
A droll anecdote is told of the Nepaulese ambas
sador, now in London. At Mr. Lumley’s grand fete
lie asked to be introduced to Carlotta Grisi, with
whose dancing he had been enchanted at the opera
house. The lady was presented, and the prince
made some remark, which, on being translated, was
found to be, that “ lie did not know her with her
clothes on!’’
The attention of a little girl being called to a rose
busli, on w hose topmost stem the oldest rose was fa
ding, but below and around which three beautiful
crimson buds were just unfolding their charms, she
artlessly exclaimed to her brother —“See, Millie,
these little buds have just awaked to kiss their moth
er before she dies.”
Byron is said to have remarked that 44 the great
est trial to a woman’s beauty, is the ungraceful act
of eating eggs.” Some \ankee remarks that the
poet could never have seen a lady hanging on by
the teeth to a blazing corn-cob !
JCST The following unique toast was drank at a
4th of July celebration in South Carolina, by G.
Kinard:
44 Peace and plenty :
“ Corn in the crib and money in the pocket,
Baby in the cradle and pretty wife to rock it;
Coffee in the closet, and Sugar in the barrel,
Silence round the fireside, andfolks that never quarrel.”
Somebody says, that in spite of all the medical
systems of the day, a sick minister, who has a rich
congregation, can only be cured by a voyage to Eu
rope. A curious fact in therapeutics.
44 1 stand upon the soil of freedom!’’ cried a
stump orator. “No,” exclaimed his shoemaker,
44 you stand in a pair of boots that have never been
paid for.”
A Male Flirt. —A monster in cassimere—a
wretch, in short, who trifles with the best affections
of a young girl, and then heaves her aside, as he
would a dead pink, or a faded flower that he bad ta
ken the bloom off of. Mrs. Smith says such a man
ought to be squeezed to death without the benefit
of hollering.
A gentleman meeting a very young and beautiful
girl in the pump room at Bath, asked her, why she
drank the waters ?
4 From mere wantonness , replied the young
lady.
4 And prav, Madam,’ said he, 4 have they cured
you ?”
A Happy Temper.—An old Connecticut pastor,
whose peculiarities for preaching were proverbial,
and who was blessed with a temper ot great value,
was one day told by a parishioner that he did not
like his sermons. 44 Well,” said the old man, “I
don’t wonder at it; I don’t like ’em myselt. ’

Common Lemon Tartlets.
Beat four eggs until they are exceedingly light,
add to them gradually four ounces of sugar, and
w hisk these together for five minutes ; strew lightly
in, if it be at hand, a dessert-spoonful ot potato
flour, if not, of common flour well dried and sifted ;
then throw into the mixture, by slow degrees, three
ounces of good butter, which should be dissolved,
but only r just lukewarm ; beat the whole well, theu
stir briskly in the strained juice and the grated rind
of one lemon and a half. Line some pattypans
with fine puff paste rolled very” thin, fill them two
thirds full, and bake the tartlets about twenty min
utes, in a moderate oven.
Ratter Fruit Pudding.
Butter thickly a basin wliieb holds a pint and a
half, and till it nearly to the brim w ith <jood boiling
apples, paired, cored and quartered; pour over
them a batter made with four table-spoonsful of
flour, two large or three small eggs, and half pint of
milk. Tie a buttered and floured cloth over the ba
sin, which ought to be quite full, and boiling the pud
ding for an hour an a quarter. Turn it into a hot
dish when done, and strew sugar thickly over it:.
this, if added to the batter at first, renders it heavy.
Morelia cherries make a very superior pudding of
this kind ; and green gooseberries, damsons, and va
rious other fruits, answer for it extremely well: the
time of boiling it must be varied according to their
quality and size.
To mix Batter for Puddings.
But the flour and salt into a bowl, and stir them
together; whisk the eggs thoroughly, strain them
through a fine hair sieve, and add them very yrad
ually to the flour ; for if too much liquid be poured
in at once, it will be full of lumps, and it is easy
with care, to keep the batter perfectly smooth. Beat
it well and lightly, with the back of a strong wood
en spoon, and after the eggs are added, thin it with
milk to a proper consistency. The whites of the
eggs beaten separately into solid froth, and stirred
gently into the mixture, the instant before it is tied
up for boiling, or before it is put into the oven to
be baked, will render it remarkably light. When
fruit is added to the batter, it must be made
thicker, than when it is served up plain, or it will
sink to the bottom of the pudding. Batter should
never stick to the knife when it sent to the table ; it
w ill do this, both when a sufficient number of eggs
are not mixed with it and it is not enough cooked.
About four eggs to the half pound of flour w ill
make it firm enough to cut smoothly.
Corn Bread.—Readers never tire of recipes for some
thing good to cat. Here arc two for corn bread worth try
ing :
Mix three pints of Indian meal in a quart of sour milk;
add three eggs, a tea spoonful saleratus, and some salt; beat
all to a smooth batter, and pour in pans half an inch deep,
and bake quick. This is a sufficient breakfast for half a do
zen .
Here is one for family bread ;—Six quarts of water, one
pint of lard, one pint of yeast, and a tea-cupful of salt, mix
ed with meal enough to make a batter. Let it rise and then
put in pans to bake.
To Prepare Bees’ Wax.— To obtain wax, boil the combs
in a strong muslin bag, in a saucepan, with water sufficient to
keep the bag from burning; and whilst boiling, continue to
press the bag with a wooden slice or spoon, to extract the
whole, as you skim oft’the wax. Drop the wax into cold wa
ter, where it will swim on the surface. The wax thus obtain
ed will still want refining, to effect which, place it in a clean
saucepan, and melt it over a slow fire. Then pour off the
clear >vnx into proper vessels, and let it cool. To whiten it,
make it in thin cakes, and expose it in the sun.
Dr. de GRAFFENRIED’S
CELEBRATED
RHEUMATIC LINIMENT.
IN’ iitroducing this medicine to the people of the United States, for
r-ale, 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 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 ;>ersevered 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 enrol, 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 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. Hut the un
dersigned flatters 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.

CERTIFICATES.
FROM COL. A. K. AYER.
Dr. E. L. de Graffenried —Learning that you are al>out
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 from pain.

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. 1
was taken down in January last, with a violent attack of
Rheumatism in nearly all my joints, so badly, that I could
not pull off my shoes without aid ; nor could I ascend or de
scend steps, or pull off iny 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 but 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 ol
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. 1 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. 1 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 I had been ten days before I called on
you, for any amount of money that could be given 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. 11. 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. 1
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 her neck as
well as ever she had : and up to this time it lias not return

Philadelphia, Feb. 1, 1850.
Dr. de Graifenried—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, l was so much relieved as lobe able to leave the bouse
anil attend to business. 1 have perfectly recovered from the
disease, and would cheerfully recommend the Liniment to
all those who are afflicted.
GEORGE lIOOD, 27 Powell st.
I Columbus, Ga., 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 hut little benefit, 1 made application of two bottles
oft your Liniment, winch I am happy to say relieved me in a
v!ry short time. I can recommend its use to all persons af
fected in like manner.
Very respectfully, F. S. CHAPMAN.
I cm testily to the efficacy of Dr. de Graffenricd’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 Rheumatism in her shoul
der joints, extending to her elbow joint, and arm, which dis
abled her from using her 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 bottle, she was entirely relieved, and the relief was man
ifest or sensible after three or four rubbings. lam of opinion
it is one of the most valuable remedies that lias ever been dis
covered for Rheumatism: that, is, from my own knowledge,
and that which I have heard from others.
Dr. E. L. de Graffenried. 11. C. McKEE.
Columbus, Oct. 19th, 1849.
Dr. de Graffenried—Dear Sir: 1 take pleasure in saying, I
have a boy who was so badly afflicted with Rheumatism,
that he could not raise his hand to his head, and had nearly
lost the use of his 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.
Jones’ llotku Piiiladbupbia, March 3d, 1850.
Col. A. 11. Ragan —Sir, it affords me great pleasure to lie able to
bear testimony to the efficacy and virtues ol Dr. de Graffenried 1 j
Rheumatic J.inuiteut.
I have been sorely afflicted for the last six years with what I lieliev
cd to be, and what eminent Physicians of this city pronounced, Rheu
matic gout, for several winters jtast I have been confined to my room
audited nearly all the time. In January last, 1 had an attack as violent
if not more so than usual, which prostrated me for about three weeks;
on your recommendation l 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 lay
back, wrists and ankles were entirely relieved (and so continue) of all
the soreness anil pains, and the swellings reduced, with the use of
less than one bottle. I have been iu tliu discharge of my ordinary

Dr. de Graffenried— Dear Sir. for the last twelve years, I have sul
fcrec very severely with the Rheumatism, having been nearly one
fourth of the time confined to my lied by it. I have had the liest med
ical aid to he 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, l so far recovered, as to be able to walk about a
little. About six weeks since, I bad a severe attack which again con
fined me to my bed, I 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, ami amongst th i in,
one of my 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 l 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 boas sjieedily relieved, ns 1 have been with
your medicine. Wishing you all the blessings you deserve dear sir,
Your grateful and obedient Servant,
GEO. WARDS WORTH.
Columbus, Ga., Oct. 20, 18-19.
Dr. de Graffenried— Dear Sir, I take pleasure in giving you the
particulars of my affliction by, and relief from Rheumatism. During
the spring of 1814 1 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 1 ever was, and have continued so to this time.
Yours, Truly, L. C. MORTON.

“I Tread no Step Backwards.”
OF
M. S. THOMSON, M. D.,
MACON, GEORGIA.
FOR a period of ox'er thirteen years, it has been the province of
tlie undersigned, to present to the people of ajid the
surrounding States, the results of the use of innocent t egetable
Medicines, in the treatment and cure of disease, as contradistinguished
from poisonous substances, to which from childhood, they have been
accustomed, and to whose pernicious effects upon the constitution,
many oftliem are living witnesses.
The success which during this long series of years, has attended
his administrations has, in many instances been such, as to over
come the most inveterate prejudices in favor of the old order of things
and to produce instead thereof, a conviction that even in medicine, as
in other branches of the 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 enlightenment of a
coming age, may find easy of accomplishment.
This succeds in curing diseases of the most hopeless character after
all other means had failed,and that too, in many instances without see
ing the patient, has long been the subject of general remark, exhibiting
as it does in bold relief the difference between restoring a case that
has been absolutely abandoned, and simply raising another, that hun
dreds of others could oure.
Such cases can be pointed out in almost every county in Georgia,
where some poor, decrcpid, helpless being, atter 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 miles,
and received back those health restoring remedies that have restored
them again to health and to society, to their own astonishment and
their neighbors wonder, putting at naught the sneers of antagonistic
interests, and adding new linger posts 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 boklly say, that he firmly believes that nine-tenths of She so called
incurable cases in Georgia, are yet within the reach of medicine.and
can be cured by pursuing a proper course of medication, with the ex
ercise of necessary care and perseverance, on the part of the patient,
which in all cases of a lingering character, are of the last importance.
The great facilities for this kind of treatment presented in tiie cheap
postage system, has been taken advantage of by thousands who hap
pily can indirectly attribute their present good health to that noble spe
cimen of lilieral government; and there are thousands more \\ ho may
reap the same advantages, by simply pursuing a similar course. Let
the afflicted if he 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 talkiug to a physician. If able and it is convenient, enclose
the fee; if not convenient just then, a due hill for the amount wiH
answer, (this obviates the inconvenience of making accounts at great
distances,) and if not able, preqiay and mail the letter to lus address,
when medicines suitable to the case will lie compounded and sent
with full directions.
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 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 precision as you would a letter; pre
pare and use them as directed, and persevere; ri-|xrt progress month
ly, or oftener, as may be necessary, and closely watch the progress of
the cure.
Having been long and extenaively engaged in the treatment of dis
eases peculiar to females, he would say that they may avail them
selves of his knowledge, with the utmost confidence, in his prudence
and integrity, so that in writing out their symptoms, they may express
themselves with the necessary freedom. In some of the diseases of
the renal and procreative system, the medicines being more costly, the
charge will be increased.
Such cases as require [lersnnal attention, will lie treated on libera
terms in the city, where the necessary accommodatious can always
be bad.
Those wishing further information in regard to results, will address
a i>ost-pai(l letter to the undersigned, who will immediately mail to
the applicant such documents as must disarm doubt.

In making the announcement for the approaching session
of the Botanico Medical College, it is due the friends of Re
form and the public generally, to lay before them its present
condition.
The Institution has up to the present been crowned with
unparalleled success, compared with similar institutions iu
this country. True, it has had to contend with those diffi
culties peculiar to, and which are constant attendants upon,
the establishment of new institutions, and especially such as
embrace new doctrines.
In addition to the facilities for instruction heretofore afford
ed, much is being done by the enterprising trustees, and by
individuals to render the institution, if possible, still more
worthy of public confidence,
The college buildings formerly occupied, having been found
too inconvenient for the advanced condition of the institution,
arrrangements have been made lor the building of a more
spacious edifice, which iu addition to the necessary lecture
rooms, will embrace a library, a museum and an herbarium.
The arrangements now in contemplation are deemed as com
plete as in the oldest institutions in the country, and no pains
will be spared, either by the trustees or faculty, to render the
situation of students not only advantageous, but pleasant.
In consequence of the numerous applications which have
been made to extend indulgence to young men of enterprise
and merit, at a late meeting of the faculty, it was unani
mously agreed, that a note for ninety-five dollars, with two
good endorsers, payable twelve months after date, should be
received iu lieu of cash, for the tickets of the several profes
sors for one course of lectures, when students are not prepar
ed to advance the cash.
Those xvishing further information in reference to the in
stitution, will please address the Dean, post paid

is required to select a College guardian, with whom all fuiuls brought

An Institution combining the science of the West Point Academy
