ECCENTRIC PROGRESSIVE POWER PRESS. advantagesof this new POWER PRESS, and its superiority over all others, are as follows; The power applied is multiplied 410 times, by the Lever and Eccen tric pully, that is, one hundred pounds power applied to the Lever will exert a force 24,000 pounds on the Cotton. The whole top of the bale box is open to receive the Cotton, and it may he put as near the Gin House as is do - irod. It is three times as powerful ns a screw of 18 inches diameter, that Has a nine inch pitcli of thread w ith the same length of Lever, and of course the horse has to walk hut one third as far, for the reason that a lever is required hut one-third as long to do the same work. And further, tho Press follower descends with much greater rapidity at the commencement of the operation, when but little power is required, which shorten- the distance travelled by the horse, in proportion to the increased vc! .city of the follower at the start. This Press can he made very compact, and equally powerful, by using the wheel and axle, and can he so modified as to answer any purpose where a Press is necessary for manufacturing or domestic purposes. For Cotton it requires one-fourth less work to build, and three-fourths less work to raise, tiian the screws, and if a cast iron Ec centric wheel is used, it will not be much over half the work to build as a screw. For Pressing Cotton, Tobacco, Hemp, Hay,&c.. it cannot be excelled. There in one-third less timber in this Press than in the crew, and it is certainly tha cheapest ever built. The whole cost ofthe Irons will not exceed sls, which may be had oflC. 11. Levy, of Macon, who is t lie only person authosizedto furnish hem. This sum is exclusive of freight and the cost Os fight to use the Press. If the Eccentric wheel is made of Iron, the cost will he 10 orsls more for the Iron work,but it will materially lessen the cost of labor on the wood work of the wheel, and will he the cheap est in the end. Any good Mechanic can construct the Press from the drawings and specifications which will accompany each right. I shall sell a single right at $lO, which sum can be sent by mail at my risk, provided the fact of sending is certified to by the Postmaster pf the place where the letter is mailed. Each right will he accompa oiedby an engraving and a full description, so that any mechanic will ne able to build the Press. Any communications, post-paid, will be bunctually attended to. A. D. BROWN. Clinton, Jones County, April 2d, 1850. —C ertificatc.— This will certify that we witnessed, at the plantation of Mr. Wil liam Johnson, in this county, the performance of a Cotton Press re cently invented and patented by Mr. A.D. Brown, of this place, and can, with confidence,recommend it to the public. Its great power, convenienceand simplicity of structure, renders it, in our estimation, eth best that we have seen. It packs downward, which we deem ve ry essential; can ho placed as near the lint room as desired, andean be easily covered in and made very durable.

THOMSON, in. D,, MACON, GEORGIA, a period of over thirteen years, it has been the province of . the undersigned, to present to the people of Georgia, and the surrounding States, the results of the use of innocent Vegetable Medicines, in tiie 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 of them are living witnesses. The success w hich during this long series of years, has attended his administrations, has, in many instances, been such, as to over come the most inveterate prejudicesin 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. Tliix succeds in airing diseases of the most hopeless character after aloltfypr means had failed,and that too, in many instances, without see ing the patirut, 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 cure. Such cases can 1* pointed out in almost ever}-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 miles, and received back those health restoring remedies that have restored them again to henlth and to society, to their < wti astonishment and their neighbors wonder, putting at naught the sneers of antagonistic interests, and adding new finger posts at every post office and cross roads, pointing the way the city of refuge. Without subjecting himself to thS chrfrge of presumption, he would yet boldly say, that he firmly believes that rjne-tentlis of the so called incurable cases in Georgia, are yet within the reach of medicine,and can lie 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 tiie Last importance. The great facilities for this kind of treatment presented in the cheap postage system, has been taken advantage of by thousands who hap pily can indirectly attribute their present good health to t hat noble spe ciinen of liberal government; and there are thousands more who tuny reap the same advantages, by simply pursuing a similar Courses Lot the afflicted if he cannot write himself, get his neighbor to do it for him, give a history of bis case, ago, habits, and symptoms, the same as if talking to a physician. If able and it is convenient, enclose the fee; if not convenient just then, a due bill for the amount will answer, (tint nbmates the inconvenience of making accounts at great distances,) and if not able, pre-pay and mail the letter to his address, when medicines suitable to the case will be compounded and sent with full directions. The charge for treatment is only (85) five dollars, monthly, a sum sufficiently small to obviate the fear of risk to any one, and yet suffi cient to preserve hint from loss in liis extensive administrations. This done, call at the post office if> 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; report progress month ly* or oftener, as may be neccsbary, and closely watch tho progress of the cure, Having betfi long and exlertsively 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 he increased. Such cases as require personal attention, will be treated on libera terms in the city, where the necessary accommodations can always be had. Those wishing further information in regard to results, will address a post-paid letter to the undersigned, who will immediately mail to the applicant such documents as must d'sarm doubt. M. S.

IN introducing this medicine to the people of the United State*, sot . sale, the proprietors 1 eg leave to submit the following statement of Dr. deGrnfienried, its discoverer and inventor: The undersigned frankly states that he has prescribed this mediem# 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 lie has no hesitation in saying, that, it is decidedly the most vqlpabla remedy ever yet discovered for the relief of this most painful asd dis tressing malady. „ ■ ■ : ■ His note-book contains upwards of three hundred cases, ih which it has been used within the almve named period, and in no Angle instance has it come to liis know ledge, 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 eilra brdinary, is, that w hen the patient has been once relieved, the disease is permanently erred, remains so, ne t a solitary instance having been reported to him of St return! . , t 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 t> my n< t iriety then in vogue with the profession, w ith however, very rarely any relief to poor suffering humanity. It has batlled the skill and science of the most eminent Physicians and Surgeons of our own, and of every other country. But tbe.un dersigned flatters himself that his remedy will cure this most painful disease, when all others have failed, and that he shall have besn aa humble instrument in the hands of God, of relieving the human family of a vast amount of suffering.

Dear Sir—About the first of April ‘fist, Icntne to Colum bus to get medical assistance, and was advised tocffll on yob as having a remedy that would afford me speedy reltef, I 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 and ; nor could I ascend or de scend steps, or pull off my clothe* without assistance. My right arm and hand were neatly 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 ail 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 tiight 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 bad de pended on it. 1 could also use, open and bend my which was an impossibility the day before. 1 rose in tho morning from my bed entirely relieved of pain. I used on a bottle rfnd an eight ounce vial of your Rheumatic Liniment, and in ten days, 1 was relieved. I would net iiave bprn in the condition which 1 had been ten dav? before i called on. you, for any amount of money that could lie given me; for what is life worth wheh ih constant pain and misery! I consider your Rheumatic Liniment, the most valuable med icine in the world. 1 am, dear sir, your friend, J. 11.

Dr. de Graffenried—Dear Sir: I laving been afflicted, for some time past, with a severe attack of Rheumatism, and having heard of the wonderful effects of your Rheumatic Liniment, I was induced to try a bottle of it, and after thrro days, I was so much relieved as to be able to leave the house and attend to business. I have perfectly recovered from the disease, and would cheerfully recommend the Liniment to all those who are afflicted. GEORGE IIOOD, 27 Towbil st. Columbus, Ga-, Oft. 13, 1849. Dr. E. L- do GrafTetiried—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 ona joint of my finger, last winter, with acute Rheumatism, and having used many of the unnumbered presciiptions for its cure, with but little benefit, I made application of two battles of your Liniment, winch 1 am happy to say relieved me in a very short time. I can recommend its uee to all persons af tected in like manner. Very respectfully, F. S. CHAPMAN. I Call testify to the efficacy of Dr. de Graffenried's Rheu matic Liniment in the case of Mr. F.S.

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 almosl entirely ; and from the pain, want of sleep, ar.d 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 has ever been dis covered for Rheumatism ; that is, from my own knowledge, and that which 1 have heard from others.

I used the fourth of a bottle of your Rheumatic Liniment, which relieved him entirely. I con sider it a most valuable remedy for the cure of Rheumatism RANDOLPH L. MOTT. Joses’ Hotel.

I have been sor -ly afflicted for the last six years w ith what I believ ed to be. and what emiherit Physicians of this city pronounced, Rhcu matic gout, for several winters past I have been confined to my room’ and bed nearly all the tints. In January Last, 1 had an attack as violent if not more so than usual, which prostrated me for about three wechi; on your recommendation I commenced the use of this Liniment. (With ! must confess but little faith.) Its effects were astonishing and decidedly beneficial from its first application. Inn few days my back, wrists and ankles were entirely relieved (and so continue) of all the soreness and pains and the swellings reduced, with the use o| less than one bottle. I have been iu the discharge of my ordinary business eversinee. I 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 ali who may be aflLcted with it. Respectfully Yours, N. W. BRIDGES, Jcnes’Hotel. TUt/nxoRE, March 30, 1850. Dr. do Or ferried —Dear cup., for the last twelve year?, I have suf feree very severely with the Rheumatism, having teen nearly or.# fourth of the time confined to my be* by it. I have had the lest med-. ical aid to be found in various cities in the United States, with little or no benefit. 1 have also tried innumerable strongly recommended remedies, which have failed to etfect a cure. I spent the last summer at the White Sulphur and Hot Springs in Virginia, to little purpose. After my return home, I so far recovered, as to be able to walkabout a little. About six weeks sine?, 1 had a severe attack hicb again con fined me to my bed, I was hi great pain and scare- ly able to move my limbs, when a friend of mine called and informed that you bad dis covered an infallible remedy, and had cured many,and amongst them,’ one ofiny friends, and showed rati a Tetter from him stating the fact. I was induced to try your Kh-umatic Liniment, and take pleasure in informing you that in less than twenty-four hours front the first appli cation I Vi ns perfectly free from pun, 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 be as speed.,y relieved, as I hare been with your medicine.

I was then induced, by a rheumatic acquaintance, to try your Liniment, as some thing new. and which had cured him; and in ore month from the time I commenced the application I was well, and clear of the Rheu matism as i ever was, and have continued so to this time.
