Bikelljraq. From the New York Times. THE BARGAIN. THE GAINER AND TIIE LOSER. “ What have you there husband ?” said Mrs. Courtland to her* thrifty and careful spouse, as the latter paused iu the open door to give some direc tions to a couple of porters who had just set some thing on the pavement in front of the house. “Just wait a moment and I'll tell you. Here, Henry ? John! bring it in here,” and the two part ners entered with a beautiful sofa nearly new. “ Why, that is a beauty, husband ! llow kind you are !” “ It’s second-hand, you perceive; but it’s hardly soiled —and no one would know the difference.” “ It’s just as good as new. What did you give for it ?” “ That’s the best part of it. It is a splendid bar gain. It didn’t cost a cent less than a hundred dol lars. Now, what do you think I got it for ?” “ Sixty dollars!” “ Guess again.” “ Fifty ?” “ Guess again.” “ Forty-five ” “ No. Try again.” “ But what did you give for it, dear ?” “ Why, only twenty dollars !” “Well, now, that is a bargain.” “Ain’t it though ? It takes me to get the things cheap,” continued the prudent Mr. Courtland, chuck ling with delight. “ Why, how in the world did you get it off so low ?” “ I managed that. It ain’t every one that under stands how to do these things.” “ But how did you manage, it dear ? I should like to know.’’ “ Why, you see, there was a great many other ; things there, and among the rest some dirty carpets, i Before the sale I pulled over these carpets and threw them upon the sofa, a good deal of dust fell from them, and made the sofa look fifty per cent worse than it really was. When the sale was com menced, there happened to be but few persons there, and I asked the auctioneer to sell the sofa first, as I wanted to go, and I would bid for it if it were sold then. Few persons bid freely at the opening of a sale.” “ What bid for this splendid sofa,” he began. “ I’ll give you fifteen dollars for it,” said I; “ it’s dreadfully abused.” “ Fifteen dollars! fifteen dollars! only fifteen dol lars for this beautiful sofa l” he went on ; and a man next to me bid seventeen dollars. I let the auction eer cry the last bid for a few minutes, until I saw he was likely to knock it down. “ Twenty dollars,” said I, “and that’s as much as I’ll go for it.” “ The other bidder was deceived by this as to the real value of the sofa, for it did look dreadfully dis figured by the dust and dirt, and consequently the sofa was knocked oft’ to me.” “ That was admirably done, indeed,” said Mrs. Courtland, with a bland smile of satisfaction at hav ing obtainee the elegant piece of furniture at so } cheap a rate. “ And it’s so near a match, too, for the sofa in our front parlor.” This scene occurred at the residence of a mer chant in this city, who was beginning to count his fifty thousands. Let us look on the other side of the picture. On the day previous to this sale, a widow lady with one daughter, a beautiful and interesting girl about seventeen, were seated on a sofa in a neatly furnished parlor in Hudson street. The mother held in her hand a small piece of paper, on which her eyes were intently fixed, but it could be readily per ceived that she saw not the characters that were written npou it. “ What is to be done ma, ?” at length asked the daughter. “Indeed, my child, I cannot tell. The bill is fifty dollars, and has been due, you kno\V, for several days. I liavn’t got fifty dollars, and your bill for teaching the Miss Leonards cannot be presented for two weeks, and then it will not amount to this sum.” “ Can’t we sell something more, ma suggested the daughter. “ We have sold all our plates and jewelry, and now I’m sure I don’t know what we can dispose of, unless it be something that we really want.” “ What do you say to selling the sofa, ma “ Well, 1 don’t know’, Florence. It don’t seem right to part with it.” “ It will readily bring fifty dollars, I suppose ?” “Certainly. It is of the best wood and work manship, and cost one hundred and forty dollars. — Your father bought it a short time before lie died, and that is less than two years past you know.” “ 1 should think it would bring nearly one hun dred dollars,” said Florence, who knew nothing ot auction sacrifices, “ and that would give us enough, besides paying the quarter’s rent, to keep us com fortably until some of my bills become due.” That afternoon the sofa was sent, and on the next afternoon Florence went to the auctioneer’s to re ceive the money for it. “ Have vou sold that sofa yet, sir?” asked the tim id girl, in a low, hesitating voice. “ What sofa, Miss?” asked the clerk, looking stea dily in her face, with a bold stare. “ The sofa sent by Mrs. , sir.” “ When was it to have been sold !” “ Yesterday, sir.” “ Oh, we havn’t got the bill made out yet. Aou can call the day after to-morrow and we’ll settle it for you.” “ Can’t you settle it to-day, sir ? We want the money particularly.” Without replying to the timid girl’s request, the clerk commenced throw ing over the leaves of the account book, and in a few minutes bad taken oft’ the bill of the sofa. Here it is—eighteen dollars and sixty cents. — See if it’s right, and then sign this receipt.” “Ain’t you mistaken, sir? It was a beautiful so fa, and cost oue hundred and forty dollars. ’ “ That’s all it brought, Miss, I assure you. Fur ture sells very badly now. ’ Florence rolled up the bills that were given her, and returned home with a heavy heart. “ It only brought eighteen dollars and sixty cents, ma,” she said, throwing the notes into her mothers lap, and bursting into tears. “Heaven only knows, then, what we really shall do,” said the widow, clasping her hands together and looking upwards. There are always two parties in the case of bar gains—the gainer and the loser; and while the one is delighted with the advantage he lias obtained, he thinks nothing of the necessities which have forced the other party to accept the highest offer. But few buyers of bargains think or care about taking this view of the subject. Dobbs‘says when the first girl kissed him, he felt as if he sliding down a # rainbow, with a Yankee Doodle in e\ich band. Os 150 pretty women met by a gentleman of Bos ton in one day, one hundred were sucking their par asol handles! \ Fellow Feeling.—“l appeal to the sisters,”said a down east parson,\“ and, ask them if they never had a. feller feeling in their bosom.” Gratitude for favors shown is the distinguishing trait of a truly noble mind.

A Doleful Case-A Police Sketch • —Samuel Dole ful was a short, thin little man, with a small narrow chest, long arms, waspish legs, big face, with large blue point oys ter eyes, square nose, white as chalk and tipped with red at the end, wide mouth, broad chin and dingy brown hair. The charge against him was being poor—and the charge was sup ported by unanswerable witnesses. A tattered coat that once might have been black but now faded to a dingy brown, was buttoned over his narrow chest up to his neck —and his pipe stem legs were incased in coarse corderoy, dove-tailed with bits of eassimere,beaverteen, &c., in the way of patches. Samuel, said the judge. I believe I shall have to give you thirty days. Indeed, in your present situation, you ought to be glad of the chance. Samuel—Glad ! who talks of glad ? I was born doleful, I have lived doleful, and I intend to die doleful, if I don’t, bust me. Judge—Don’t swear Samuel, don’t swear. Samuel looked hard at the judge and then wiped a portion of his right eye with his coat tail. ‘‘l was born weeping. My daddy’ used to chaw wormwood afore I was born, and mother made a practice of getting drunk on vinegar. When I was a boy the folks wouldn’t let me nuss their children, ’cause they said I give ’em the spepsv. I looked so sour. When I was at school I got all the lickings, and when 1 got married, my wife said if we had children, they’d be walking vinegar casks if they was boys, and if they was gals, they’d he nothing but jugs of cream and tartar set on legs, to physic the whole world with their solemneholly faces. If she didn't say so, bust me.” Judge—Don’t swear, Samuel. Let me advise you ; wouldn’t it be better for you to make a respectable man of yourself? Samuel—What’s the use of making yourself respectable, when any feller has a right to slander you, and make you dis respectable agin ? Judge—You might goto work Samuel. Samuel—What’s the use ot working when it only makes you tired ? Judge—You might put on a clean shirt now and then. Samuel—What’s the use of puttin’ on a clean shirt, when it only gets'u irty agin ? Judge —You might sleep in a house like a respectable citi zen. Samuel —What’s the use of sleeping in a house, and pay rent, when a board pile answers just as well? Judge—ls you would make a respectable man of yourself your wife would have staid with you and you would have had a nice family of children around you. Samuel —What's the use of having children when they only sasses you ? And if they doesn’t sass you, they're al ways gettin’ the measles or whoopin’ cough, they catches cold and snuffles out of all character, and all the towels in the house as ain't used for diapers, is took for pocket handker chiefs ; if they ain’t bust me. Judge—Take him below. Samuel —Take him below ! That's the way it's always been. I’ve always been took below, and when I die I s’pose 111 be took blow —if 1 won’t bust me. Exit. An Amusing Story. Hooper, the editor of an Alabama journal, whose name we just now forget, but which has almost always something in it to make us laugh, tells the following capital yarn; Shall I tell you a bit of a story, having no connexion with politics, this dry weather? By permission ; Old Col. D , of the Mobile district, was one of the most singular characters ever known in Alabama, lie was tasty and eccentric, but possessed many fine qualities, which were fully appreciated hy the people of the district. Many of his freaks are afresh in the memory of the “old uns” of Mobile—and all of them will tell you that the Col. though hard to beat, was once terribly taken iu by a couple of legal tyros. It is George Woodward, I believe, tells the story ; but however that may be, it is in keeping with others relat ed of the old gentleman. It seems that Col. D. had a misunderstanding with the two gentlemen alluded to, and was not on speaking terms with them, although all of the three were professionally rid ing the circuit pretty much together. The young ones, be ing well aware of the Col’s, irascible nature, determined, as they left one of the courts for another, to have some sport at his expense by the way. They accordingly got about half an hour’s start iu leaving, and presently they arrived at a broad dark stream, that looked as if it might be a dozen feet deep, but which, in reality, was hardly more than as many inches. Crossing it, they alighted pulling off their coats and boots, and sat down quietly to watch for the old “Tartar.” Jogging along, at length came up the old fellow. lie look ed at first at the youngsters, who were gravely drawing on their boots and coats, as if they had just had a swim, and then he looked at the broad creek that rolled before him like a fluent translucent star. The Colonel was awfully puzzled. “Is this creek swimming?” he growled, after a pause of some moments. No reply was made—the young men simply mounted their horses and rode off some little distance, and stopped to watch our hero. The Colonel slowly divested himself of coat, boots, panta loons, and drawers. These he neatly tied up in his handker chief, and hung them on the horn of the saddle, then he remounted, and as he was a fat man, with a paunch of inor dinate size, rather inordinate legs, a face like a withered ap ple, and a brown wig, there is no doubt he made an inter esting pietuJe as he bestrode his stead, with the “breeze hold ing gentle dalliance’ with the extremities of his only gar ment. Slowly and cautiously did the old gentleman and his horse take the creek. Half a length—and the water was not fet lock deep. Here the horse stopped to drink. A length and a half—and the stream no deeper ! Thirty feet further—and a decided shoaling! Here Col. D. reined up. “ There must,” said he, “be a thundering swift deep channel between this and the bank. See how the water runs! We will dash through.” A sharp lash made the horse spring the watery waste, and another carried the horse and rider safely to the opposite bank. Ihe creek was no where more than a foot deep. A wild yell from the young ’uns, announced their appro bation of the sport as they gallopped away. “ I’ll catch > ou yo“ grand rascals,” was ground between Col. D.’s teeth, and away he galloped iu hot pursuit, mutter ing vengencc on his foes. sis iiiiiii eifisiß. On—on—they sped, pursuer and pursued. The youngsters laughed, yelled, screamed—the Col. cursed with mighty em phasis, while his shirt fluttered and crackeled in the wind like a loose flying jib. On —on—and the pursuer reached the farm-house on the road side. Their passing startled a flock of geese from a fence corner, which as the Colonel dashed up, met him with outspread wings, elongated necks, and hisses dire. His horse swerved suddenly, and the Colonel in a moment was upon the ground, in a most unromantic “head.” with his brown wig by his side and his bundle of clothes scattered around. The white headed children of the house came out first, took a distant view of the monster—as it seemed to them— and then returned to report progress. After a little the fath er of the family came, and the affair being explained, assisted tlie Colonel in making his toilette—the Col. swearing, and the countryman laughing all the while. Dressed and mounted, our hero started off with a woeful phiz, and was soon out of sight. “Is your Name Brown?” —Capt. AY tells an amusing occurrence witnessed by him on board the steamer “Ocean,” on her passage down. An oldish and somewhat purblind gentleman, pacing up and down the upper saloon, stopped in front of a large full length mirror, and, after gazing at the fig ure presented, for a moment or two, inquired in a very deliberate tone — “Is your name Brown?'' — No answer. “Is your name Brown V’ Still no answer. Question again repeated, louder still—“ls A OUR—NAME—BROWN ?’’ Still no answer.— “AVell,” said the questioner, “you are either no gen tleman, or cursed deaf l'’ The saloon was in a roar. [Detroit Advertiser. A\e have heard of a good many enthusiastic lov ers in our time, but we think Mr. Toots takes thcyii all down. “If I could be dyed black,” said lie to Captain Cuttle, “ and made Miss Doinbey’s slave, I should consider it a compliment; or if at the sacri fice of all my property I could transmigrated into a dog, I should be so perfectly happy, I never would stop Wagging my tail.” There’s devotion as is de votion. What’s taking arsenic to a man with such “ feelings ?’’ The lady who would become really beautiful must make the cultivation of her mind, of those in tellectual and moral powers with which her Creator has endowed her, her first and principal care. Bure affection must be cherished; useful knowledge ac quired; and a mild, even, and obliging temper as siduously cultivated, or all her endeavors to obtain real beauty will have been in vain. Tax the Brandy—Why?— “Brandy!” exclaim ed a devotee at the bacchanalian shrine, (lie other day, “ brandy should come in free —and I vote for no man who goes against it.” “ Brandy free!” quickly responded Yates, “ why should we admit that free, which makes men slaves !” There was more in that remark than we have heard in many a temperance lecture. Weather Wisdom.—“ I have observed,” said a wiseacre, “ that, when the moon is turned upward, we have fine weather after it; but, if is turned down, then we have a wet season ; and the reason I think is, that when it is turned down, it holds no water, like a basin you know, and then down it all comes.” The Truth will Out. —A Sabbatarian being re quested, a day or two since, to do what he could to get the Host.

THOMSON, in. !),, MACON, GEORGIA. lAOR 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 edects upon the constitution, many of them 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 brandies 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 succedsin curing diseases of the most hopeless character after alolther means had failed, and that too, in many instances, without see ing the patient, has long been tile subject ofgeneral remark, exhibiting as it does, in bold relief the dill'erence between restoring a case that lias been absolutely abandoned, and simply raising another, that hun dreds of others could cure. Such cases can be pointed out in almost every county in Georgia, where some poor, decrepid, helpless being, after testing every local means without avail have sent otf, 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 lo health and to society, to their own astonishment and their neighbors wonder, putting at naught tiie sneers of antagonistic interests, and adding new finger posts at every post otiice and cross roads, pointing the way the city of refuge. Without subjecting himself to the charge of presumption, he would yet boldly say, that he firmly believes that nine-tenths of the so called incurable cases in Georgia, are yet within the reach of medicine,and can be cured by pursuing a proper course of medication, 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 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 cinien of liberal government; and there are thousands more who 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 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 hie inconvenience of unking accounts rt great distances.) and if not able, pre-pay and mail the letter to Ins address, when medicines suitable to the case will be compounded and sent with full directions. The charge for treatment is only (35) 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 liis 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 ofteuer, as may be necessary, and closely watch the progress of tile cure. Having been long and extensively engaged in the treatment of drs 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. Puch eases as require personal attention, will be treated on libera terms in the city, where the necessary accommodations can always he 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. P.

Columbus, March 21st, 1850. 1 ] y BROWN'S EC6ENTItIC PROGRESSIVE POWER PRESS. lAIIE advantages of this new POWER PRESS, anil its superiority over all others, are as follows: The power applied is multiplied 4 10 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 hale box is open to receive the Cotton, and it may lie put as near the Gin House as is desired. It is three times as powerful as a screw of 18 inches diameter, thathas a nine inch pitch of thread with 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 but one-third as long to clothe 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, and can be 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 workto raise, than the screws, and if a cast iron Ec centric wheel is used, it will not be much orrr half the work to build as a screw. For Pressing Cotton, Tobacco, Hemp, Hay, &c. it cannot be excelled. There is one-tliird less timber in this Press than in the crew, and it is certainly the cheapest ever built. The whole cost ofthe Irons will not exceed 345, which may be had ofC. 11. 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 lie 10 or sls more for the Iron work, but it will materially lessen the cost of labor on the wood work of the xvhcfll, and will be the cheap est in the end. Any good Mechanic enneonstruet the Press from the drawings and specifications which will accompany each right. I shall sell a single right at 310, 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. Eachj-ight will he accompa oied by an engraving and a full description, so that any mechanic will nc 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 wc 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. WILLI AM JOHNSON. Jones County, June ‘2,1850. Dr. de GRAFFENREID’S CELEBRATED RHEUMATIC LINIMENT. IN introducii g this medicine to the people ofthe l nitid Mates, for sale, the proprietors beg leave to submit the following s a ciikii of Dr. deGrafft nried, its discoverer and inventor: .... The undersigned frankly states that he has prescribed tins ine( iciiil for the last twenty-two years, in all forms of Acute anil Chronic lcu mutism, with a success unparalleled in the annals of of medicint , he has no hesitation in saying, that it is decidedly the most y a ua > e remedy ever yet discovered for the relief of this most painful an iis tressing malady. His note-book contains upwards of three hundred cases, in w hie li it has been usee; within the above named period, and in no sing e instance has it some to his knowledge, of its having failed to effect a cure when persevered in. Many of the cases were from four to ten years standing; and what may appear yet more remarkable and extra ordinary, is, the t when the patient has been once relieved, the i.ise.ise is permanently currd, remains so, not a solitary instance hax ng M ‘ 11 reported to him of its return. All he would ask for this remedy is a fair, impartial and patient trial, for the results lie 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 bad consulted every author on its treatment, who had written or been translated into the English language, and had used all the remedies o any notoriety then in vogue with the profession, with however, \erv 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.

E. L. de GRAFFESRIED, M. D. CERTIFICATES. FROM COL. A. K. AYER. Dr. E. L. dr G ruffe nried —Learning that you are about to manufacture lor the public, your valuable Rheumatic Lin iment, I take pleasure in stating that I believe it one oi 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. Jiy the use of four or five bottles, in three Weeks, he was relieved entirely from pain. Columbus, Ga-, Oct. 24, 184!). A. K. AYEIi. ( Columbus, October 30, 1840. Dear Sir—About the first of April last, 1 came to (,’olnvi bus to get medical assistance, and was advised to call on you as having a remedy that would uflbrd me speedy relief. 1 was taken down in .January last, with a violent attack ol Rheumatism ii nearly all my joints, so badly, that J could not pull off my shoes without aid ; nor could 1 ascend or de scend steps, or pull off my clothes without assistance. My right arm and hand were nearly useless ; the fingers con tracted and swollen : the right knee swollen and stiffened, so that I could not bend it but very little. Up to the Ist ol April, 1 was all the time in suffering and pain ; I rubbed with your Rheumatic Liniment iny limbs three times, and was the next fnoruing enabled to descend a long Hight ol steps, without aid of crutch or stick, and back to my room—l J 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, j which was an impossibility the day before. I rose in the 1 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. J would not have been in ihc condition which 1 had been ten days before I called on you, lor 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. H. SMITH. Columbus, Xov. I, 184!). Dear Sir—My negro woman Patience, a cook, had a slifl neck from a painful Rheumatic affection, for six or seven years, and could not turn her neck except with the tiodv. 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 hud ; and up to this time it has not relum ed. GARLAND B. TEIIRY. Philadelphia, Feb. 1, 1850. Dr. de Graflvnried—Dear Sir: Having been afflicted, for some time past, with a severe attack of Rheumatism, and having heard o! the wonderful effects of your Rheumatic Liniment, I was induced to try a bottle of it, and after three davs,d was so much relieved as to he 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 wiio are afflicted. GEORGE IIOOD, 27 Powell st. Columbus, Ga., Oct. 13, 1849. Dr. E. L. de Graffcnried—]tear Sir: Agreeable to your request. 1 give my testimonial as to the virtue of your Lini ment in the cure of Rheumatism. Being attacked in one joint of mv finger, last winter, with acute Rheumatism, and having used many of the unnumbered prescriptions for its cure, with lint little benefit, I made application of two bottles ol yaiwjiiimi-nt) ivltieii 1 out Jieppy to cay relieved me in a very short time. I can recommend its use to all persons af fected in like manner. Very respectfully, F. S. CIIAPMAX. I can testify to the efficacy of Dr. de Graffcnried's Rheu matic Liniment n ihecase of Mr. F. S. Chapman, as it came under my immediate observation. Oct. 13, 1849. R. A. WARE, M. D. DearSir—Some time in January last, Mrs. McKee was taken very ill with Inflammatory Rheumatism in hershoul 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, 1 was induced by my friend, Mr. Luke Reed, to call on you for a bottle of your Liniment, and by using halt the bottle, 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 Rheumatism : that, is, from my own knowledge, and that which 1 have heard from others. J)r. E. L. de Graffcnried. 11. C. McKEE. Columbus, Oct. 19th, 18-19. Dr.de Graffenried —Dear Sir: 1 take pleasure in saying, I have a l>oy who was so badly afflicted with Rheumatism, 1 that he could not raise his bund 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. 1 con sider it a most valuable remedy for the cure of Rheumatism. RANDOLPH L. MOTT, i Joses’ Hotel. Philadelphia, March 3d, 1850. Col. A. Tt. Hagan —Bir, it affords me great pleasure to be able to bear testimony to the efficacy and virtues of l)r. dc Gr-fen rial's Rheumatic J.inimrut. I have been sorely afflicted for the last six years xvith xxTiat I believ ed to be, and what eminent Physicians of this city pronounced, Rhcu mafic gout, for several winters past 1 have lieen confined to my room and bed nearly all the time. In January last, I had an attack as violent if not more so than usual, which prostrated me for about three weeks; on your recommendation I commenced the use of this Liniment. (YY’itli 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, xvith the use ol less than one bottle. I have been iu the dischargt of my ordinary business ever since. I consider it an extraordinary, and decidedly the most efficacious . remedy for this disease, xvhich I have ever met xvith. And most cheer fully recommend itsuseto all who may be offlicteff with it. Respectfully Yours, Ng YV. BRIDGES, Jones’ Hotel. , lUi timoric. Marrh 30, 1850.
