€\)t fcsdwjttr. Apple Dumplings. Take large, fine, juicy apples. Tare them, and extract the cores without dividing the apple. Fill each hole with brown sugar, and some chips of lem on juice. Or you can fill the cavities with rasberry jam, or \lith any sort of marmalade. Have ready a paste, made in the proportion of a pound of suet, chopped as fine as possible, to two pounds and a half of sifted flour, well mixed, and wetted with as little water as possible, lioll out the paste to a moderate thickness, and cut it into circular pieces, allowing two pieces to each dumpling. Lay your apple on one piece and put another piece on the top, closing the paste round the sides with your fingers, so as to cover the apple entirely. This is a better way than gathering up the paste at one end, as the dum pling is less liable to burst. Boil each Jumbling in a small coarse cloth, which has first been dipped in hot water. There should always be a set of cloths kept for the purpose. Tie them tightly, leaving a small space* for the dumpling to swell. Blaster a little flour on the iuside of each tying place, to pre vent the water from getting in. Have ready a pot of boiling water. But in the dumplings and boil them steadily for an hour. Send them to table hot in a covered dish. Do not take them up till the mo ment before they are wanted. Apple dumplings may be made in a very plain manner with potato paste, and boiled without cloths dredging the outside of each dumpling with flour.— They should boil about three-quarters of an hour when without cloths. The apples for dumplings should always be whole (except the cores ;) for if quartered, the pieces will separate in boiling and break through the crust. — The apples should never be sweet ones.— t Jfiss Lea lie. Recipe for making Cologne. —Oil of Lavender one dram ; oil of Lemon two drams ; oil of Berga mot 2 drams ; oil of Rosemary two drams; oil of Cinnamon eight drops; Alcohol one and a half pints. To Extract the essential Oil from any Blant. Take any flower you choose, place a stratum in a clean eartnern pot, and over them a stratum of fine salt. Repeat the process till the pot is tilled ; cover closely and place it in the cellar. Forty days after wards, strain the essence from the whole through a crape by pressure. But the essence thus expressed in clean bottles, and expose them for six weeks to the rays of the sun and the evening dews to purify. One drop of this essence will communicate its peculiar and grateful odor to a whole quart of water. Solvent for old Betty and Baint.— Soft soap mixed with a solution of potash or caustic soda ; or pearlash and slacked lime with sufficient wa ter to form a piiste. Either of these laid on with an old brush or rag, and left for some hours, will ren der it easily removable. Kettles. —Brass kettles, before using, should be carefully cleansed with salt and vinegar. Bumpkins.— Breservation of pumpkins through the greatest part of the winter, if sound and well ri pened, is easily attained by stowing them in a mow of dry hay or straw, or placing on a barn floor and covering with any light forage. A dry cellar will frequently keep them sonnd; but these are usually too moist for this purpose. They ought occasionally to be looked after, and any showing evidence of in cipient decay should be immediately used. All tlie partially ripe, small, and imperfect should be fed soon after taken from the field. Virtues of Smart Weed. —lt is almost a sure remedy in a case of cholic. Steen and drink the same as in any other herb tea. In the nexiplaca at is worth |5 per hundred for a stock of cattle, if it is cut and well cured when in full bloom. Give an ox, cow, or horse, one pound per week, during the time they are up to hay, and it will keep their bowels and hide loose. It is an excellent physic. If a horse has one pound a week, there is no danger of his hav ing bots or worms of any kind ; and they will eat it sooner than the best of hay. — Sparta Times. The Cow Bea.— An exchange paper says : “It is found that the Cow Bea answers every purpose in Southern culture that the clover does for the North ; as food for the human family it is pre-eminently su perior ; as food for stock, the peas arc better than corn, and the vine and leaf fully equal to clover, and as a fertilizer for the earth it is not surpassed by any plant in cultivation. Coffee for Weak Stomachs. —A correspondent sends the following, being the result of experience : Those who are not able to bear much liquid should adopt the following method : —Blace a quarter of a pound of coffee in a jug, pour a pint of cold water thereon, and let it stand twenty-four hours ; then strain off the clear extract, which preserve in a well corked bottle. When you wish for a cup of coffee, bail half-a-pint of milk, to which add a table-spoonful of tlie cold extract. It will have the same effect as three cups made in the ordinary way, and possesses a delightful flavor. Important to Housewives— New method of Ma king Yeast. —Take two tea-cups full of brown sugar and one toa-spoon full of brown sugar, and one tea spoon full of salt, mix and stir in flour sufficient to make a very thick batter. Sit this where it will be kept blood warm to rise. This quantity may be used with from one to four quarts of flour for making bread or rolls. As soon as the yeast has risen (which is generally in three or four hours,) add to it the flour with milk enough to make a moderate soft dough which must be worked and kneaded well, then form it into loaves or rolls ; pot these into paus and placj them where they will be kept blood warm to rise ; when well risen (which will be in about an hour) place them in the oven, and if you do not get good bread, try again, for you may be sure that you have not followed this recipe, or that you have not good materials. jt’kiihimj. How to Live.—Said an old man once to us. “ Fact is, people ain’t more than partly larnt how to live.” V c thought then that the old man was right, and we have since been con vinced of the fact. For to live rightly, implies that we do rightly towards all. When we see a man, with money in his pocket, refusing with lying pretences and sneaking subterfuges, to pay a small bill, justly due, we think he has but partly learned bow to live. When we see a family who make great pretensions to fashion and gentility, and are clothed sumptously in purple ;ind fine linen, putting off from day to day the payment of a poor dress-maker, who comes feebly and timidly knocking at the door for her due, we think, little have they learned how to live. When we see a man endeavoring to bolster up Pride at his frontdoor, while Poverty enters boldly in the rear-, squan dering his small income on fine furniture and ‘company,’ bor rowing of his neighbors and never returning without insult or injury, we are sure he has but partially learned how to live. When we see another, laboring like a slave, to accumulate wealth, not to extract happiness from, but to hoard, starving his own soul, pinching his family, and making all miserable around him, we think he lias not at all learned how to live. When we see a man wholly given up to the pleasures of appetite, reveling in licentiousness and debaucheries, while the higher pleasures of the intellect are wholly neglected, we thiuk, how poorly has he learned to live. When we see a young man, bovn to wealth, neglecting his great opportunities, squandering time and money on trifling things, and employing the best years of his life in laying up misery for the future, we think how sadly is be neglecting the things which teach how to live. When we see a child of misery and want, treading almost unconsciously the dark path winch leads to crime and utter ruin, we sigh, as we exclaim, he lias never been taught how to live. And when we see a subscriber to a newspaper sneaking out of the back door when he sees the collector coming with the bill, and when caught, denying that he lias received the paper, disputing the bill, asserting that he never subscribed, that he ordered it stopped, that he has not taken it from the post office, and finally declaring that he has got nothing, and nothing can be got from him, we set him down as a hope less case, for surely such a man will never learn how to live.— Portland Transcript. Remembrance of Past Benefits,— i once called on a neighbor, says Old Humphrey, who was watering an old stump of geranium, which seemed to me to give very little promise of either green leaf or flower. “Neighbor,” said I, “your labor will be lost.” “ Perhaps so,” said she, “I can hardly part with my old tree for ali that. 1 cannot help calling to my mind what it lias been, and how often it has made my window look cheer ful with its fresh, green leaves, and its fine scarlet flowers.” This reply completely silenced me, for I thought in my heart that my neighbor was right and I was wrong. It is o good sign to remember past advantages. I called on a friend who was giving a mouthful of oats in a sieve to ail old horse grazing in his paddock. “You may corn your horse,,’ said I, “as much as you will, but it is not at all likely that he will ever bo able to work a gain.” “True,” replied he, “but I have no wish to forget the work he lias done for mo. Many a weary day lias he been my companion, carrying me safely on his back or drawing me, in my gig; and while old Dinger lives I hope never to grudge him a mouthful of grass or corn.’’ “ Right,” thought I, “and the feeling is a creditable one, but it is not always, nor often that •* poor brute falls into such good hands. I shall think the better of you for your humani ty.” I called on a relative who was waited on by a very old ser vant, who made sad blunders ; indeed, the old man was al most blind, and very feeble. “Old Peter's day is over,” said I; “sad blunders he makes, and sad blunders he will make, for his day is gone by.” “ I know it,” replied my relative; “but if his day is gone by, mine is not, and while I live Peter shall have a home nnder the roof of the master he has so faithfully served, lie has been a good servant to me, and to my father before me, and right little do I expect from him now in tlie way of service. Peter, I say, has served me, and it is now my turn to serve Peter.” I honored my kind-hearted relative for his remembrance of services, and for his attention to an old servant. So that, to speak the truth, 1 got good from my neighbor, my friend, and my relative. Christian reader ! are there none round about us whose in firmities we ought to bear with ; whom we are neglecting, and treating with less kindness than we ourselves, if in their situation, should expect ? Are there none whose past ser vices we are forgetting or undervaluing, who have a just claim on our respect and thankfulness ? Let us take the mat ter to heart, and give an honest reply. Class Opinions —A Fable. —A lamb strayed for the first time into the woods, and excited much discussion among other animals. In a mixed company, one day, when he be came the subject of friendly gossip, the goat praised him. “ Pooh 1” said the lion, “ this is too absurd. The beast is a pretty beast enough, but did you hear him roar? I heard him roar, and, by the manes of my fathers, when he roars he does nothing but cry ba-a-a ?’’ and the lion bleated his best in mockery, but bleated far from well. “Nay,” said the deer. “I do not think so badly of his voice. I liked him well enough till I saw him leap. lie kicks with his hind legs in running, and, with all hisskipping, gets over very little gronnd.” “Itis a bad beast altogether,” said the tiger. “He can- run, he can do what wuq-i der i I killed a man yesterday, and in politeness to the new comer offered him a bit; upon which he had the impudence to look disgusted, and say, ‘No, sir, I eat nothing but grass.’ ” So the beasts criticised the lamb, each in his own way; and yet it was a good lamb, nevertheless. llow this little incident touches the heart—A mother who was in the lmbit of asking her children before they retired at night, what they had done during the day to make others happy, found a young twin daughter silent.—The elder ones spoke mod estly of deeds and dispositions, founded on the gol den rule, “Do unto others as you would they should do unto you.” Still the little bright face was bowed down in silence. The question was repeated, and the dear little child said timidly :—“A little girl who sat by me on the bench at school had lost a baby brother. All the time she studied her lesson she hid her face in her book and cried. I felt so sorry that I laid my face on the same book and cried with her. Then she looked up and put her arms around my neck, but I do not know why she said I had done her so much good.” % luunnnot. The Prudent Mother. OR, CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER THE CASE. To-morrow, ma, I’m sweet sixteen, And Billy Grimes, the drover, Has popp’d the question, to me, And wants to be my lover. To-morrow inorn, he says, mamma, lie’s coming here quite early, To take a pleasant walk with me Across the fields of Barley. You must not go, my gentle dear, There’s no use now of talking ; You shall not go across the fields, With Billy Grimes a walking. To think of his presumption too, The dirty ugly drover— I wonder where your pride has gone, To think of such a rover. Old Grimes is dead, you know,mamma, And Billy is so lonely ; Besides, they say, to Grimes’ cstato That Billy is the only Surviving heir to all that’s left, And that, they say, is nearly A good ten thousand dollars, ma, About six hundred yearly. I did not hear, my daughter dear, Your last remark quite clearly, But Billy is a clever lad, And no doubt loves you dearly. Remember to-morrow morn To be up bright and early, To take a pleasant walk with him Across the field of barley. Footed —l laughed somewhat one day, at the pretty inn of the healthful “ Messina Springs,’’ (the “ Burnham’s” or “Woodlawn” of Syracuse,) at an account of a young coun try girl who had been taken to a Fourth of July ball by a swain of the neighborhood. ] ler beau found metal more at tractive in the “long room,” and left his girl a “wall flower,” until the night was well nigh spent. Just as the ball was about to close, however, he came up to the neglected fair one, and said, ‘don t you want to dance!” “Dance!” she replied ; guess I do'. W here you ben ? I ben settin’ here till I thought I should ha’ took roots’? And they stepped into line fora “country dance,” as they termed it. “ You labor overmuch on your composition, doctor,” said a flippant clergyman to a venerable divine. “ I write a ser mon in three hours, and make nothing of it ?’ So your con gregation sasy, quoth the doctor. * H S II9SIII eiTIZIR. A Lady’s Jest. —While we were sitting at din ner, the other day, with a dozen pleasant people of both sexes, the conversation turned upon Saratoga and its fashions and frivolities. A matron present remarked that a letter writer in the N. York II had lately thrown a bomb-shell into the parlors of the ultra fashionables, by giving minute descriptions of several darling belles, whose style of dressing ap proaching rather too near the society costume of mother Eve. “ Ah!” said the speaker, exultingly, elid'nt he take off the low-necked dresses !” “ Tut tut,” said a witty lady who sat near us—“that would be but. a poor way to mend the matter!” At least one half of the company didn’t see the force of the comment, but it was a very just one for all that. The Worm that never Dies.— The reflection that you have cheated the printer.— Ex. Paper. What a lot of people must be troubled with worms.—Law rence Courier. One of our exchanges makes mention of a “Jenny Lind Tea Kettle,” which being filled with water and placed on the fire, commences to sing in a few minutes. A young lady being asked why she did not use soap, re plied that, as to soap, she got a plenty of soft soap from her beau, and that always put a plenty of color into her cheeks. A Want. —The following advertisement appears in the Albany Express: ■ “ Wanted—An able bodied person to hold my wife’s tongue, she and I being unable to keep it still.” “I do not care about the blueness of a bdy’s stockings,’’ said a lively Edinburgh wit, “if her petticoats are long enough.” A poet of Tonawanda, whose “better half” had absent ed herself from his domicil, thus warns the public against harboring or trusting her on his account: Eunice my wife, has grown quite lewd, And left me in a lonesome mood, She’s gone in spite of friends and church, And went to live with Timothy Murch. She left my board, and took my bed, She carried off my meat and bread. Know ye, therefore, who read this paper, That sinco she has cut this reckless caper, I will not pay a single fraction For any debts of her contraction. A Jolly Life.—lnsects generally must lead a truly jo vial life. Think what it must be to doze in a lily. Imagine a palace of ivory and pearl, with pillars of silver and capitals of gold, all exhaling such perfume as never arose from a hu man censer. Fancy again, the fnn of tucking yourself up for the nigh in the folds of a rose, rocked to sleep by the gentle sighs of a summer air, nothing to do when you waked but to wash yourself in a dew drop, and then fall to and cat your bed and bed-clothes! “ Gentlemen of the jury,” said a western lawyer, “ you are met hereon one of the most solemn occasions that ever happened since I had a brief. The defendant, being a stout, able-bodied man, rushed like an assassin upon rny client, who is a frail young widow ; and why did not the thunder of heaven blast him when he stooped towards her, stretched forth his arms like the forked lighting of Jupiter, aud gave her a kiss on the mouth ?” I’ve seen her out a walking, In her habit de la me , And it aint no use talking, She’s pumpkins and “ a few;” She glides along in beauty, Like a duck upon a lake, Oh ! I’d be all love and duty If I only was her drake. Them’s I'm.—“l say, captain,” said a little keen eyed man, as lie landed from the steamer l|£iy arn’t saffecl,Jn U .* brought on board, anyhow.” “Well, see now, 1 grant it is O K accordin’ to list—four boxes, three chests, two kanbox es, portmanty, two hams,one par. cut, three ropes of inyans, and a teakettle ; but you see, cap;ain, I’m dubersome ; 1 feel there’s somethin’ short. Though I’ve counted ’em over nine times, and i.ever took my eyes off ’em while on board, there’s somthin’ not right somehow.” “ Well” stranger, time’s up; them’s ail I know on—so just fetch your wife and five children out of the cabin, as I’m off,” “ Them’s um! darn it, them’s um! I know’d I had forgot some thin’.” There arc two kinds ot lawyers, those who have a “pay ing practice,” and those who have a practice of not pay ing. The following was sent to a schoolmistress in a neighbor ing town : Miss , can you allow our Henrietta Georgiann to come and nurse Claudius Alfred, while our Louisa Ann Victoria goes to dancing school!” Caution to Girls. —The young men fall on’tlieir knees be fore you; but remember it is but as the infantry before cav alry, that they may conquer and kill, or as the hunter who only on bended knee takes aim at his victim.— Jean Paul. The Charms of Money. —“Heigh ho! i must have a husband !” said Miss Crooks, “ what shall Ido ? Here I am hard upon my twenty-fifth year, and they say that I am homely as a hedge fence, to boot! what shall Ido ?” Woman’s wit is not to be sneezed at by those who do not take snuff, and being bent on getting a husband, she would leave no stone unturned. She bought a ticket iu the lottery. It drew a handsome prize. “ My dear Miss Crooks, is that you !’’ cried a lawyer of the village one evening. “How dare you go home alone, this dark night?” “ Oh ! lam used to it,” said she, slyly. The young man never let her go home alone afterward. He married the gold, with Miss Crooks thrown in. “ Sail,” said stuttering Sam Snooks, “ If you love me, tliay tho—if you don’t love me, tliay tho—and if you love me, and don’t want to tliay tho—thqueethe my hand.” Sal put her hand upon her “bussum,” Sain felt the gentle pressure of her tothcr paw, and was as happy as a polly-woggle. A Happy Description.— A Virginian in the Intelli gencer thus describes quite a numerous class of men who are becoming public nuisances: “ I do not include in the term (people) a race of pigmy politicians, who have ‘ bred in and in’ from 1798 down to the present day, till really they have become so deteriorated (having grown smaller and smaller ‘ by degrees,’) that they attract no attention except for their vanity. These rare birds are generally to be found among a class of young lawyers sans fees , or doctors sans patients , or other men of leisure sans everything .” The Science of things familiar,— Why does lightning turn milk and beer sour ? A. Because the electric fluid does not know how to con duct itself, or, perhaps, because on the principle of two of a trade never agreeing, the electric fluid and the milky or beery fluid cannot come into contact without tho latter getting sour ed by the former. Q. Why is mortar adhesive ? A. Because it is of a confiding nature, and imagining that every object is a brick, it will attach itself to anything. (J. Why ought potatoes to be boiled in their skins ? A. Because no potato can be said to be properly dressed un less it appears in a jacket. Q. Why does a kettle sing ? A. For the same reason that a ploughboy whistles for the want of thought. Q. Why does a eat run after a mouse ? A. Because tbo mouse runs away from the eat. Q. Why is it necessary to ent the grass ? A. Because the grass, though composed of nothing but blades, has not one sharp enough to cut away itself and pre vent the necessity of tlie scythe being applied to it. TEXAS LAND CLAIRS.

THOMSON, 1. D., MACON, GEORGIA. FOR 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 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 oftheni 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 lie advanc ed, and results achieved, that our ancestors would have deemed im possible, but which our posterity, thanks to the enlightenment of a coining age, may find easy of accomplishment. This succeds in curing diseases of the most hopeless character after aliflther means had failed.and that too, in many instances, without see injf the patient, has long been the subject of general remark, exhibiting aB it d-es, in bold relief the difference between restoring a case that lias been absolutely abandoned, and simply raising another, that hun dreds of others could cure. Such cases can he 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 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 finger 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 boldly say, that lie 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, with the ex ercise of necessary care and perseverance, on the part of tlie patient, which in all cases of a lingering character, are of the last importance. Tlie great facilities for this kind of treatment presented in the cheap postage system, lias been taken advantage of by thousands who hap pily can indirectly attribute their present good health to that noble spe cimen of liberal government; and there arc thousands more who way reap the same advantages, by simply pursuing a similar course. Let the afflicted if lie cannot write himself, get his neighbor to do it for hint, give a history of his case, age, 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, < this obviates 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 Hie case will be compounded and sent with full directions. The charge for treatment is only (95) 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 iu 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; report progress month ly, or oftener, as may be necessary, and closely watch the progress of the cure. Having been long and extensively 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 uxpress themselves with the necessary freedom. In some of the diseases of tlie renal and procreative system, the medicines being more costly, the charge will be increased. Such cast's as require personal attention, will he 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 disarm doubt. M. S.

T I'M IE advantages of this new POWER PRESS, and its superiority 1 over all others, are as follows: The power applied is multiplied 440 times, by the I,ever and Eccen tric pnlly, that is, one hundred pounds power applied to the I,ever will exert a force 24,000 pounds on the Cotton. The whole top of the bale box is open to receive the Cotton, and it may be put ns nenr the (Jin House as is desired. It is three times as powerful as a screw of 18 inches diameter, that has a nine inch pitch of thread with the same length of Lever, and of course the horse has to walk but one third ns far, for the reason that a lever is required but one-third as long to do the same work. And further.the Press follower descends with much greater rapidity at the commencement of the operation, when but little power is required, which shortens the distance travelled by the horse, in proportion to the increased velocity of the follower at the start. This Press can be made very compact, and equally powerful, by using the wheel and axle, andean l>e so modified as to answer any purpose where a Press is necessary for manufacturing or domestic pur|K).es. For Cotton it requires one-fourth less work to build, and three-fourth* less workto raise, than the screws, and if aenst iron Ec centric wheel is used, it will not be much oner half the teork to build as a screw. For Pressing Cotton, Tobacco, Hemp, Hay, Sic. it cannot be excelled. There is one-third less timber in this Press than in the crew, and it is certainly tlm cheapest ever built. The whole cost oft he Irons will not exceed $45, which may be had ofC. H. Levy, of Macon, who is the only person authosized to furnish hem. This sum is exclusive of freight and the cost of right to use the Press. If the Eccentric wheel is made of Iron, the cost will be 10 or sls more for the Iron work,but it will materially lessen the cost of labor on the wood work of the wheel, and will be the cheap est in the end. Any good Mechanic can construct the Press from the drawings and specifications which will accompany each right. I shall sell a single right at $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.

Clinton, Jones County, April 2d, 1850. —Certificate.— 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 be placed as near the lint room as desired, and can be easily covered in and made very durable.

Brown’s Eccentric Progressive Power Presses last year, and am fully satisfied that it is the best that I have seen. I found no difficulty in building from the directions furnished by Mr. Brown, and found it much less work than to build the Screw. My brother Abram Johnson used the press for his crop, and was so well pleased with it that he intends building one at his own place for his next crop. WILLIAM JOHNSON. June? Voantyi June .12,1850.

IN introducing this medicine to the people ofthe United States for sale, the proprietors beg leave to submit the following statement of Dr. deGraffenried, 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 (ailed 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 result* be entertains no apprehension. Up to the time of this discovery, the undersigned hail well studied the origin, progress and character of this disease, and is well assured bad consulted every author on its treatment, who liad written or been translated intothi English language, and had used all the remedies o any notoriety then 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 all others have failed, ami that he shall have been an humble instrument in the hands of Gad, of relieving the human family of a vast amount of suffering.

Columbus,Ga., 0ct.24, 1841). A. K. AYER. Columbus, October 30, 1840. Dear Sir—Altout the first of April last, 1 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 ol Rheumatism in nearly all my joints, so badly, that 1 could not pull off my shoe* 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 but very little. Ip to the Ist o( 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 oi steps, without aid of crutch or stick, and back to my room—l could also bend my knee and bring it up to the chair, which the previous day, I could not have done if my life had de pended on it. 1 could also use, open and 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. 1 would not have been in the condition which 1 had been ten days before I called on you, for any amount of money that could he given me; for what is life worth when in constant pain and misery ! J consider your Rheumatic Liniment, the most valuable med icine in the woild. I am, dear sir, your friend, J. 11. SMITH. Columbus, Nov. 1, 1849. Dear Sir—My negro woman Patience, a cook, had a stifl neck from a painful Rheumatic affection, for six or seven years, and could not turn her neck except with the liody. I was induced to purchase a bottle of your Liniment, which was applied in August or September of 1848. One bottle entirely relieved her and she now has the use of her neck as well as ever she had ; and up to this time it has not return ed. GARLAND IJ. TERRY. Philadelphia, Feb. 1, 1850. Dr. de Gruff-nrietl—Dear Sir: Having been afflicted, for some time past, with a severe atiack of Rheumatism, and having heard ol the wonderful effects of your Rheumatic Liniment, I was induced to try a bottle of it. and after three days, I was so much relieved as to lie 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 HOOD, 27 Rowell st. Columbus, (la., Oct. 13, 1849. Dr. E. L. de Graffenried—Dear Sir: Agreeable to your request. I give iny testimonial as to the virtue of your Lini ment in the cure of Rheumatism, living attacked in one joint of my finger, last winter, with acute Rheumatism, and having used many of the tmnumhered prescriptions for itt cure, with hut little benefit, I made application of two bottles j . which [ Hli hajlpiv iv ri-|ii'VH<J lllf yin very short time.

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 has ever been dis covered for Rheumatism : that is, from my own knowledge, and that which I have heard from others. Dr. E. L. de Graflenried. ]I. C. McKEE. Coin mints, Oct. 19th, 1 >49. Dr. de Graffeiiried — Dear Sir: 1 take pleasure in saying, 1 have a boy who was so badly affiicted 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. Joses’ Hotel.

Raaan —Siß.it affords me great pleasure to be able to bear testimony to the efficacy and virtues of Ur. de Grrffenrictfs Rheumatic J.inemrvt. 1 have been sorely afflicted for the last sir years with what I believ ed to be, and what eminent Physicians of tins city pronounced, Rhcu inatic gout, for several winters past 1 have been confuted to my room and lied 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 rerainmendation 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 my back, wrists and ankles were entirely relieved (and so continue) of all the soreness and pains, and the swellings reduced, with the use nt less than one bottle. I have been iu the discharge of uiy ordinary business ever si nee. I consider it an extraordinary, and decidedly the most efficacious remedy for this disease, which I have ever met with.

Grajfrnriel — Dear Sir, fertile last twelve years. I have silt feree very severely with the Rheumatism, having been nearly one fourth of the time confined to my bed by it. I have had the best med ical aid to be found in various cities in the United States, with little or no benefit. I have also tried innumerable strongly recommended remedies, which have (hiled to effect a cure. I spent the last summer at the White Sulphur and Hot Springs in Virginia, to little purpose After my return home, I so far recovered, s to tie able to walk about a little. About six weeks since, 1 had 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,and amongst them, 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 I was perfectly free from pain, and continue so up to this time, j 1 am now able to attend to business, and fondly hope all those afflict- ! ed,as I have been, may be as speedily relieved, as I have been with 1 your medicine. W .siting you all the blessings you deserve dear sir, Your grateful and obedient Servant, GEO. WARDS WORTH. Colvmbvs, Ga., Oct. I JO. 1849. Ur. de Graffrnric! — Dear 81 r, I take pleasure in giving you the particulars of my affliction by, and relief from Rheumatism. During the spring of 1844 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 Septcmlter, 1845, with no satisfactory result whatever. 1 was then induced, by a rheumatic acquaintance, to try your Liniment, as some thing new, and which had cured hitn; and in one month from the time I commenced the application, I was well, and clear of mutism as 1 ever was, and have continued so to this time.
