Whoe'er the pondrous hammer wields ; Whoe’er compels tho earth to flourish ; Or reaps the golden harvest fields, A wife and little ones to nourish; Whoever guides the laden bark; Or, where the mazy wheels are turning, Toils at the loom till after dark, Food for his white haired children earning; To him be honor and renown! Honor to handicraft and tillage; To every 6\veat drop falling down, In crowded mills or lonesome village 1 All honor to the plodding swain Who holds the plough ! Be it too awarded. To him who toils with soul and brain, And starves! Pass him not unregarded ; Whether in chamber close and small, ’Mid musty tomes he fancy smothers; Or of the trade tho bandaged thrall, lie dramas writes and songs for others; Or whether lie for wretched pay, Translates the trash which he despises; Or, learning’s self, puts day to day, Dunce-corps though classic exercises 5 lie, also, is a prey to care ; To him, ’tis said, “Starve thou or borrow.” Grey grows betimes his raven hair, And to tho grave pursues him sorrow: With hard compulsion and with need, He, like the rest, must strive untiring; * And his young children’s cry for bread Maims bis free spirit's glad aspiring. Ah! such a one to me was known, With heavenward aim his course ascending; Yet deep in dust and darkness prone, Care, sordid care, his life attending. An exile, and with bleeding breast Ho groaned in liis severest trial; Want goaded him to long unrest, And scourged Him to bitterest self-denial. Thus, heart-sick, wrote he line on line, With hollow-cheek and eye of sadness ; Whilst hyacinth and leafy vine Were fluttering in the morning's gladness, The throstle sung, and nightingale, The soar lark hymned joy unending. Whilst thought’s day laborer, Worn and pale, Over his weary look was bending. Yes, though his heart sent forth a cry, Still strove he for the great ideal; “ For this,” says lie, “is potsy, And human life this fiery ordeal.’’ And when his courage left him quite, One thought kept his heart live iH ; “ I have preserved my honor bright And for my dear ones I am striving.” At length his spirit was subdued ; The power to combat aud endeavor # Was gone, and his heroic mood Came on fitfully like a fever. The Muses’ kiss, sometimes at night. Would set his pulses wildly beating; And his high soul soared towards the light, When night from morning was retreating. He long has lain the turf beneath, The wild winds thro’ the grass are sighing ; No stono is there, no mourning wreath, To mark the spot where he is lying. Their laces swoll'n with weeping, forth His wife and children went —God save them ! Young paupers, heir to naught on earth, Save the pure name their father gave them. To toil, all honor and renown 1 Honor to the handicraft and tillage; To every sweat-drop falling down In crowded mills and lonely village. All honor to the plodding swain That holds the plough!

Encourage your own Mechanics.— Nothing is more important to the well being of the South than strong, unwavering encouragement to her Mechanics. The fashion of sending abroad for articles of the simplest construction, though of absolute necessity—the uniform habit of purcha sing every thing ready made, lias diminished mechanical in dustry in the South, and made us, to a great degree, depen dent on the North or Europe for our supplies. We must en courage our Mechanics. This is the true Whig as well as Southern doctrine. To increase the rewards of labor, to di versify its pursuits, to harmonize its interests, and encourage it in new directions, has ever been the aim of tho true Re publicans of the country. Between every department of industry there is an indisso luble connection. L .bor, in one calling, cannot suffer with out depression being felt in all others. Prosperity in one acts beneficially on all. The more extended the sphere of indus try, the more healthy must every employment become, since this enlarged field of exertion creates the power of a mutual exchange of commodities without loss to the purchasers or consumers by agents’ profits, or by transportation. It creates a home market. A State, without mechanical industry, is entirely depen dent. Employments will necessarily be reduced in number, aud inefficiency will mark every attempt at enterprizo. Then encourage your Mechanics, build up the means of construct ing everything for business, convenience or luxury, at home. Fill the State with a race of bold, active, thinking, indepen dent men, who, while they contribute, by their skill and in genuity, to the development of domestic wealth, give a healthy tone to political action.— Lafayette City Repub. Georgia Ship Building*— Wo know not when wo have been more gratified than at the intelligence contained in a late number of the Savannah Neics of tho building of a new Steamer for the Florida Trade, in a Georgia port and by Southern Mechanics ! The name of tho Steamer is to be Wclaka , and is now on the stocks at the ship-yard of Messrs. Jones and Papot. The News, says ; “ She is so constructed as to give extraordinary speed, to gether with great capacity for freight; and will be, when fin ished, the fastest boat (except, perhaps tho Matamora,) now on our water, while slio will convey, with ordinary stowing, three hundred bales of cotton. Her dimensions arc—length 110 feet; breadth of beam 24 feet, and depth of hold 8 feet. Her engine (low pressure) is now in the hands of Alvin N. Miller, of this city, and will be put into her sometime next month. It is of To horse power, and of extraordinary strength and solidity, th 6 shaft and other important parts being thicker in proportion to their length th in those of tjny other boat in this, or perhaps, any other nprt.” M'e learn further that the Welaka is owned by Messrs. Brooks, Barden and Blankenship, and will be commanded by the latter—to run in the St. Johijs river, Florida Trade toand irotn Savannah. The News, says: Tne H elaka will be a Southern boat in every respect, ft Resident Mechanics are doing everything on her that can bo uone in the South, (and that comprises almost every item of any consequence) and the owners assure us that not a stick, nor a bolt is fashioned but by our own workmen. They have made this an object, and they feel a worthy pride in furnish ing to a Southern public a boat, modelled, built and naviga ted in their own waters, which will compare in all respects with the best boats built in the country.” New Boat on the Chattahoochee. We take pleasure in copying the following description of a new Steamer that has just made its appearance at Columbus, via Appalacliicpla and tlie river, to be under the command of our friend Charley Lea. Success to her. The Steamer “New Boston,”— Capt. c.m. Lea, is now complete; she is loading for the South, for which she leaves to-day. The following dimensions may prove inter esting to some of our readers. The hull was built at Eliza beth, by Mr. B. Courson ; length 160 feet; beam 23 feet; with false sides of five sec-t in each side, making her beams forward of tlie wheels; depth of hold, 5 feet. The hull is built of seasoned timber timber with extra fastenings. The height between her first deck is 14 feet, giving her ample room for the storage of cotton. The engines were built by Messrs. Preston aud W agoner, the cylinders are IT inches in diameter, with six feet stroke. The engineers arc built on the balance principle. She is furnished with three boilers 24 feet long, 38 inches in diam eter. A fine “ Doctor'’ accompanies the machinery. The cabin is small but neat, and well fitted up; it was built by Messrs. Ross, Mason and Bunting. The bell was finished by Mr. A. Fulton; the lamp and qucenswarc were furnished by McCamron and Stephens of Market street. She is intended to-run on the Chattahoochee river from Columbus to Apalachicola. She was built under the superintendence of Capt. 11. T. Ilall, and Captain J. D. Roland. She will carry 1500 bales of cotton, and wo can assure our Georgia friends that a finer boat never ploughed the waters of the South.— Pitts. Com. Jour. (iljf itairist. Morgan Jones and Ihe Devil. “ Why, yes,’’ answered Morgan, ‘there's some truth in that same, sure enough ; I used to meet with him now and then, but we fell out, and I have not seen him these two months.’ ‘ Aye!’ exclaimed each of the party, ‘how's that Mor gan?’ ‘Why, then, be quiet, and I’ll tell ye it all.’ And thereupon Morgan emptied liis pot and had it filled again, and took a pnff of his pipe and began his story. ‘ Well, then,’ says he, ‘I must know that I had not seen his honor for a long time, and it was about two months from this time that I went one evening along the brook shooting wild fowls, and as I was going whistling along, whom should I spy coming but tho devil himself. But you must know he was dressed mighty fine, like any grand gentleman, though I knew the old one well by the bit of his tail which hung out at the bottom of his trowsers. Well, he came up, and says he,‘Morgan, how are ye ? And says I, touching my hat, ‘ pretty well your honor, I thank ye.’ And then says he, ‘ Morgan what are ye looking—and what’s that long thing yer’e carrying with ye? And says I, ‘ I’m only walking out by the brook this fine evening, and carrying my backy pipe with me to smoke.’ Well, you all know the old fellow is mighty fond of tlie backy —so, says he ‘ Morgan, let’s have a smoke, and I’ll thank ye.’ And says I, ‘ your’c mighty wel come.’ So I gave him the gun and lie put the /nuzzle in his mouth to smoke, and thinks I, ‘ I have you now old boy,’ ’cause, you see, I wanted to quarrel with him ; so I pulled the trigger, and off went the gun —bang—right in liis mouth. ‘ Puff,’ says he, when he pulled it out of his mouth, and stopped a minute to think about it; and says he d—d strong backy, Morgan !’ Then lie geve me the gun, and looked huff and walked off, and sure enough, I've never seen him since. And that's the way I got shut of the old gentleman, my boys.'‘ Pretty Good.—A youug lady remarked to a fop the other day, that his penknife, which by the by was a very neat one, in oue respect resembled him. The ladies in the room commenced guessing how it could be. At last a smart looking boy, who had until now sat in one corner silent, was asked to guess. After examining the knife pretty closely, he turned round in a cunning manner and said, “Well, I don’t know, unless it is because it’s dull.” Being Examined for my Degree. We were to be examined in separate rooms ; our class consisting of seven members, by as many pro fessors, fifteen minutes being allotted to each pro fessor in which to find out the qualifications of the candidate. I have already indicated the course I intended to pursue in my examination —impudence and assu rance was anew method for a candidate, aud might succeed where the old plan would be nearly certain to fail. Entering boldly, without knocking, the room of one of the professors, who, being a superanuated widower, affected youthfulness very much, and pri ded himself very much, like a Durham stock raiser, on the beauty of bis calves. To bis dismay I found him arranging a pair of elaborated false ones, which showed a great disposition to work around to the front of his spindle-shanks. I had him dead for his vote, sure. I held the calves, whilst he adapted them to their places, and, smoking a cigar during his fifteen minutes, ho congratulated me upon the progress, he had often remarked, I was making in my studios, and /it the expiration of his time, as he conducted me to the door, assured me lie would vote for me, adding, “by-the-bye, Ten as, you needn’t mention any thing about the calves.” Well! here’s one vote, sure; would I had the other six as safe, thought I. “Physiology, where are you? You are wanted!’’ said 1, as the door enclosed me w ith the professor of that branch, who, fortunately for me, was what is called a vitcilist— | sticking up for nature, bitterly denied the Liebigian theory, which refers so many of the living pheno mena to chemistry. He and the professor of chem istry were nearly at daggers’ points upon the sub ject, and exceedingly excitable when over it was mentioned in their presence. I knew my cue. “ Take a s< at, Mr. Tenas; you appear wondrous full of vivacity,” said the professor, as I entered, singing “A was an artery,” Ac. “Yes, sir, and 1 can assure you it is vivacity of the same kind that a beneficent Creator exhaled into the nostrils of the first-created—life in the sense in which every rea sonable man—every man with a proper appreciation of the subject—every man of learning and intellect, ami physiological acquisition, regards the vital prin ciple —and not that degraded vitality of the Liebi gian system, which makes man’s assimilating func tions a chemical operation, and degrades his mighty “nature to the level of the ass”—“hideous doctrine,” broke in the old professor. “ Mr. Tensas, would that tho whole class possessed your discriminative wis dom; then I could descend to the grave with the proud consciousness that man held of his existence the same exalted opinion that I have always tried to teach ; then would I see this chemical theory of file exploded. Theory, which degrades man lower than the brutes, makes the subtlest operations of his nature a mere chemical effect, and the noble ac tioti lungs a scapepipe for extra heat; mag- And the excited physiologist, carried away by his feelings, h irst into one of his wildest harangues, battling for Ins favorite theory with more vigor than he had ever displayed in the rostrum—and there ne\ci had stood his superior for eloquence—until a knock at the door broke in upon liis declamatory current, and dammed its waters. “ Bless me!’’ he exclaimed, rubbing bis glasses and looking at his watch, “is my time out? Why, I have done all the talking. But go, Mr. Tensas’ fEI CXYXXSIY, the views that you advocate attest your qualifica tions. You may depend upon my vote and influ ence.” “Two votes safe!” said I, as I regained the lobby, “ and now for old 4 Roots’ as the professor of Mat. Med, was familiarly called by the class—lie’s deaf, but thinks no one knows it but himself. I’ll talk loxv, and lie won’t know whether I am answering correctly or not.” “ Take a seat, Mr. Tensas, llow are you to-day? I suppose you are ready for being examined ? What is calomel?” All this being said sot to voce. “ A drug, sir, that may bo called the right bower of quackery, and the four aces of medical murder; referred to by Shakspeare when he said, ‘Throw physic to the dogs,’ and especially mentioned by him, though a typographical error has somewhat obscured it, evidencing its antiquity and universal administration at his time in tho lines, “‘Be thou us pure as ice, as chaste as snow, thou shalt not escape Calomel.’ ” I spoke in a whisper, but moved my lips as if vo ciferating. “Right, Dir. Tensas; but you need not boiler so as to alarm the college; I am not deaf. What is the usual dose in the South V “ Half a pound for an infant, and the quadrature of the stomach’s circle for a grown negro!” “ What are its specific effects upon the system?” “ The free use of coffins, spit-boxes, mush-and milk; and the invention of new oaths with which to curse the doctor!” “ What diseases is it usually given in “ In all, .and some others, from want of a clean shirt to the death-rattle !” “ Right, sir, right,” said the examiner, never doubt ing from rap apitude of reply and perfect serious ness, but that they were to the point. “What are emetics ?” “ Medicines, that a man who has dined badly, and wants to conceal it, should never take!” “What are the most certain “ The first cigar, the first quid, or a spoiled oys ter !” “ What is their action ?’’ “ That of money won at gambling; going back the way it came, and taking a good deal more than it brought!” “When should a lobelia be given ?” “ At elections, where the people are writing a man down an ass, and he wants to be brought up ahead!” “ What dose would you give it in ?” “ If the patient was likely to leave a rich widow, I’d certainly give a pound !” “ When would you think an emetic had acted suf ficiently ?” “ When I was in doubt whether it was tho pa tient’s tongue or his stomach that was hanging out of his mouth!” “What are purgatives ?” “Medicines, whose action bears the same relation to that of emetics, which the possums did to the hollow where tho dog was waiting to catch them —- they go the other way!” “Suppose your patient had a diarrhoea, what medicine would you give ?” “A quart of brandy, for it would be sure to make him tight!” “ What are the most dangerous preparations of lead ?” “ Congressional speeches in Washington, and buck shot in the Southern States !’’ “From what does hive syrup derive its name?” “ From the fact of bees living in hives, and there being honey in it!” “Right, sir! all right! Yon have answered ad mirably. I see I must vote for you. You can go sir!”—and out I went. “Three votes! Hurrah! Two more, and I’m safe: Now for old Sawbones. I’m sure of him, though,” for upon surgery I was prepared, and my intimacy wiik that pfofeSßOi* assuu-d me he must bmwm it, and would attribute tbo errors I might commit to natural trepidation under the circumstances. Ile was a man of two much good sense to wheedle or fool with, and notwithstanding my confidence in my good preparation, and his appreciation of it, 1 anticipated a terrible time with him. My heart sank as I entered liis room. “Be seat ed, Mr. Tensas. Beautiful weather for this season. Have an apple? Here is an instrument for deliga ting the subclavian artery, that the maker has done me the honor to call after me. How do you like it ? Think I must order a dozen. Do to give to ac quaintances,” rattled on the kind-hearted professor, trying to re-assure me, which he failed to do, for 1 regarded his pleasantry as somewhat akin 10 the cat sporting with its victim. “ You never shave, Tensas, I believe ? Apropos, how old arc you ?” I jumped clear out of my seat at tlie question. The institution required a candidate to be twenty one, which I was not, by several months. “ It’s rather late in the day to inquire that, profes sor,” replied I, “you should have asked that before I paid for your ticket.” “ Well, you are old enough to be examined for your degree, I expect, as you’ll be rejected, in all probability. How do you make chicken-soup?” I began to get nettled, thinking ho was sporting with mo upon my embarrassed condition; but a glance at his face told me he w r as, or strongly pre tending to bo, in earnest. “ Professor—,” I said, “ T came here, sir, to be ex amined upon surgery ; not. be insulted, sir. What chicken soup has to do with it, 1 cannot imagine. If you are disposed to twit me with my early life and humble occupation ; I can assure you, sir—” “Stop! stop ! No insult was intended, and tho’ you, with your w isdom of almost twenty-011c years, cannot see the connection between soup and surge ry, I can tell you, young man, that the success of the surgeon depends very much upon kitchen medi cine. Good soup is easihv digested, and strength ens tho patient, but bad discomposes, and prevents the recuperative action of the system. But this is not answering my question. How do you, sir, make chicken soup ?” Seeing that if ho was not in earnest, it was the best imitation I bad seen lately, I vouchsafed to an swer the subtle inqniry. After I had concluded—“Mr. Tensas, you have leit out a very important item in the preparation of your soup : you forgot to mention in the first in stance whether you would kill the chicken or not.” The glance I shot at him was too much for his gravity. Bursting into a hearty laugh, he said, “ Tensas, I knew you were well prepared, but 1 thought I would teach you that nothing that mav be conducive to the recovery of our patient, is too trivial to be remembered by the physician—also to try your temper. Yon have too much of the latter. Ike sick-bed is a fine moderator, however. Go, my dear fellow, study hard, in ten years I will hear from you.” Tears sprung into my eyes as I wrung his hand, and thanked him, on leaving his room. Four votes safe. One more, and the others may go to llelispont. Now for chemistry. “llow do you do, Mr. leiisas ? Be composed, sir. Take a chair, llappy to have the opportunity of gratifying my chemical curiosity at your expense. I expect you candidates think your professors a very inquisitive set of fellows about this time. Ha! ha ! Take a chair, sir.” “ Professor- — lam quite well, lam happy to in form yon, and desirous of appearing as composed as possible. I also felicitate myself that it is in my pow er to display to you the fruits, as elaborated in my mind, of those eloquent expositions of chemical sci ence which it has been my good fortune to receive, at such an inadequate remuneration from your lips. Here is a pamphlet, very denunciatory, I am sorry to announce, of you, that I thought you w r ould like to see. It is by the professor of physiology, and ap pearing first in a distant city, I thought you might not be aware ol its publication ; my admiration and friendship for you, together with ray anxiety for the promotion of the Liebigian system, led me to pro cure a copy at an expense which, though considera ble in the present dilapidated condition of my finan ces, never caused the least hesitation in its purchase, when the great good which doubtless would result from your early acquaintance with its pernicious principles w as considered.” It took me at least five minutes, in a slow, mono tonous, and pompous manner, to deliver this, and only ten were left to the examiner. “Thank you, Mr. Tensas, thanks for your kind consideration for myself, and the system I am proud to advocate, even though it be through detraction and vituperation. I will examine it at my leisure — we have other business before us. Give me an exposition, Mr. Tensas, of the Atomic or Daltonian theory.” Down below zero went my hitherto buoyant spir its —my scheme had failed—l am gone, thought I, when up my heart bounded again as he interrupted me with, “Ah ! how did you say you obtained this atrocious publication ? Mr. Tensas, that gentleman, the author, is doing a great and irremediable injury to the cause of truth and scientific controversy. In arguing w ith a man of philosophical pretensions, it is to be expected that he will combat only those principles which”—and in a tone of grieved and wounded innocence, not giving me an opportunity of giving him the required exposition of the Atomic or Daltonian theory, which I very much regretted, the professor concluded the time allotted him for examination, saying, as I bid him adieu, “ Mr. Ten sas, I shall be happy to see you at my house, to night ; you may rest assured of my vote.” I stood hfthe lobby with perfect ease, confident that in hav ing five votes out of the seven —three being required to reject—l was soon to be dubbed Doctor of Medi cine. The examinations of the other two professors I got through with very summarily, fainting away be fore one, and occupying tho fifteen minutes to re store me, and before tho other, being seized with a violent bleeding at my nose ? but in justification of my own honor, I must state that the representations by tho rest of the faculty of tho splendid examina tion I had passed before them, influenced their votes, and I obtained all; and, at the appointed time, re ceived my degree, and a square yard of sheepskin, as an attestation of the progress I had made in medicine, giving me a free permit to kill whom I pleased without the fear of the law.— Swamp Doctor. Sally Magus, THE WOMAN WOT KNOWS HOW TO MANAGE TIIE MEN. ‘Well, here I be; wake, snakes, Ike clay’s abreaking; now I’scset my eyes on a good many strange things in my day, but this geltin married business beats everthing I ever did sec.

I ’spose lie didn’t kecr for the receipts that was written in the book, but it was the receipts that wasn’t there, and ought to bej that stuck in his crop. And Miss Fletcher hung down her lieud, and looked for all the world, like a duck in a thun hAjtmivm.

Dr. do GRAFFEN REID’S CELEBRATED RHEUMATIC LINIMENT, IN introducing this medicine to the people of the United States, for sale, the proprietors l eg leave to submit the following statement of Dr. deGnuTt nrit X, 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 Uhea matism, with a success unparalleled in the annals of of medicine; and he has no hesi'ntkm 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 siugfo 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 t< n years standing; and what may appear yet more remarkable and extra ordinary, is, that when the patient Las been c nee relieved, the dise.ma is permanently corn!, remains so, not a solitary instance having bexu reported to him of its return. All he would ask for this remedy is a fair, impartial and patient trial, fi,r the Jesuits he entertains no epprehrv non. Up to the time of this discovery, the undersigned had well :udied the origin, progress and character of this disease, and is well assured bad consulted evry author on its treatment, who had written or b*i translated into the English language, and had used all the rcm.-Uks of any notoriety tlivn in vogue with the profession, with however, very rarely any relief to poor suffering humanity. It has baffled the skilland science of the most eminent Physicians and Surgeons of our own, and of every other country. But the un dersigned flatters himself that his remedy will cure this most painful disease, when ail 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. do CRAFFENRIED, M. p. CERTIFIC AT ES. FROM COL. A. K. AVER. Dr. E. L. dc Graffenried —Learning- that you ore about to manufacture for the public, your valuable Rheumatic Liu. intent, 1 take pleasure instating 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, uu 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 (o get medical assistance, and was advised to call on yon as having a remedy that would afford me speedy relief. I was taken down in January last, with a violent attack if Rheumatism in nearly ali 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 assislancc. 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 bond it but very little. Up to the Ist of April, 1 was all the time in suffering and pain ; I nibbed with your Rheumatic Liniment my limbs three times, and was the next morning enabled to descend a long flight cf stepr, without aid of crutch or stick, and back to my room—l could also bcr.d 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. I could also use, open and bend my fingers, which was an impossibility the day before. 1 rose in the morning from my bed entirely relieved of pain. 1 used on* botlle and a:i eight ounce vial of your Rheumatic Liniment, and in ten days, I was relieved, i would not have been iu the condition which 1 had been ten days before I called on you, for any amount cf money that could he given me; for what is life worth when in constant pain ami misery! I consider your Rheumatic Liniment, ihe most valuable med icine iu the world. I am. dear sir, veur fio rd, J. U. SMITH. Columbus, Nov. 1, 1813. - Dear Sir—My negro woman Patience, a cook, had a stiff neck from a painful Rheumatic affec;ion, for six or seven years, and could not turn her tu ck except w ith the body. I was induced to purchase a bottle of your Liniment, which was applied in August or September of 1-48. One bottle entirely relieved her and she now lias the life-of her neck a* well as ever she had ; and up to this time it hrs not return ed. GARLAND 11. TERRY. Philadelphia, Feb. I, 1850. Dr. de Graffenried—Dear frir: Having been afflicted, for some time past, with a Revere attack of Rheumatism, and having heard of the wonderful effects of your Rheumatic Liniment, I was induced to try a bottle, of it, end after three days, 1 was so much relieved as lobe aide to leave the house and attend to business. I have perfectly recovered from tho disease, and would cheerfully recommend the Liniment to all those who arc afflicted. GEORGE HOOD, 27 i'owcil st. Columbus, Go., Oct. 13, 1849. Dr. E- L. do Graffi nried—Dear Sir: Agrecabh- to your request, I give my testimonial as to the virtue of your Lini ment in the cure of Rheumatism. Being attacked in one i joint of my finger, last winter, with acute Rheumatism, and I having used many of the unnumbered yffifcripimns (ir its cure, with hut little benefit, i made application of two bottles of your Liniment, which 1 am happy to say relieved me iu a very- short time, i can recommend its use to all persons af fected in like manner. Very respectfully, F. S. CHAPMAN. I c-n testily to the efficacy of Dr. de (Iraffeitricd's Rheu matic Lininn ut in ihe ease of Mr. F. S. Chapman, as it came under tny r immediate observation.

McKee was tak-n very il! with Lida minatory Rheutnniin;! in Irer shoul der joints, extending to her elbow joint, and arm. which dis abled her from u. :.g her arm almost entirely ; end from the pain, wuntol sh-t-p, and great resih ssness, 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 bail the battle, she was entirely relieved, and the relief was man ifest or sensible after three or four rubbings. Jam of opinion it is one of the most valuable remedies that has ever been dis covered for Rheumat.: m : that from my own knowledge, and that which l have heard from others. Dr. E. L. de Graffinried. 11. C. McKEE. Columbus, Oct. 19th, 1>49.
