From the Florida Sentinel.
Dado fount) Arrow Root.
Mr. Editor: —Since my arrival at the Capital, nu
merous inquiries have been made concerning that
peculiar portion of our State in which I reside, and
being desirous of giving the widest circulation to a
correct knowledge of its climate, resources, products
and wants, I would avail myself of a space in your
valuable columns to lay before the public such facts
as I trust will result in the advancement and promo
tion of the interest of our State.
It is well known that Dade county has a seaboard
on she Atlantic of about 140 miles, with several
good and perfectly safe harbors, where her products
may at all times have the most commodious and rea
dy means of transit to my desirable market. The
climate is more equable than any other portion of
the United States —a series of years presenting from
a careful observation the interesting fact that the
mean temperature is about 76 degrees, whilst the
summer heat is fanned by the Atlantic breeze dur
ing the middle of the day, keeping the, thermometer
at. all times below 90, and rendering it not all inju
rious for our citizens to pursue their laborious and
active duties at all times and seasous. At present,
this district is comparatively unoccupied, and pre
sents the novel feature of an extensive region of
Government land, some in the market already for
entry and left open for settlement and immediate oc
cupation, with a bountiful crop of Arrow Root in
complete readiness for harvasting and sending into
market, where its already established price makes it
one of the most profitable products of the Southern
country. This root is of spontaneous growth, and
re-produces itself without care of planting or culti
vation in abont two years, in quality and quantity
;ij.i rior to the original growth, caused by the slight
iistur'i ane of 1 ■ nrth in digging and removing
toe root - whcivby the seeds are scattered, at once
\ getating, as also any parts of roots left, during the
process, which at once shoot forth, soon presenting
the agreeable scene of successful re-production of a
valuable crop without the effort of man, and on a
soil so poor as to convey the idea that the wisdom of
Providence has specially designed the plant for that
particular region of country. Its peculiar character
will probably forbid its introduction north of lati
tude 28 degrees. It will therefore be seen to be con
fined to but a limited region, which in the ordinary
course of events, must populate rapidly so soon as
that curse to Florida —the Seminoles—shall be re
moved beyond her boundaries.
There is now in course of erection two water mills
and one steam mill on the streams emptying into
Key Biscayne bay, for the purpose of manufactur
ing Arrow Root, added to those already in success
ful operation, will, another year, greatly increase the
amount of production of that article, which must
soon become an important product of South Flori
da, and alone w ill make Dade county desirable to
the man of capital and enterprise, independent of
her other advantages of genial tropical climate,
where all the fruits of that region may be propagat
ed sufficient for home use, and the lime, citron, and !
guava in the greatest cbundance for export. The
former is now an abundant crop, and proved to be
well adapted to much of that peculiar region. \ In
the opinion not only of the writer, hut of officers of
the army stationed at Miami during the past year,
and in short all who have had opportunity of obser
vation, this place must become a resort for that un
fortunate class of our citizens who are afflicted with
pulmonary disease and desire a retreat for winter
months, where they may escepe the rude blasts of a
northern clime and enjoy the beautiful scenery and
bland atmosphere of perpetual summer. There is
now an undoubted opening for the employment of
capital in creating the necessary facilities andaccom
modations to encourage that particular enterprise, j
I would state that all these advantages are, to a
certain extent, a sealed book to our State, from the
want of some avenue of communication by land,
that our citizens may remove there with their ne
groes, horses, cattle, &c., all of which are now great- i
ly needed there and command a high price. The
range for cattle is fresh the whole year, and no doubt
hut”that Miami must become an important point for
the export of beef cattle to the islands in that vicin
ity, many of which now obtain their supply from
New Orleans, Texas, and other places.
It will Ik; clearly seen that the immediate wants
of East Florida demand a road with proper bridges
for travelling wagons from Indian river to Miami,
and it is believed that the General Assembly will
make the necessary appropriation and authorize its
construction forthwith. No small outlay could be
of more general benefit. Respectfully, G. W. P.

u What are Birds good for ?”—The Ameri
can Agriculturalist for December, just issued by Sax
ton and Blanchard, in answer to this inquiry, relates
the following anecdotes;
“In connection with this subject, we will give an
anecdote related to us last winter by Governor Ai
ken, of South Carolina, of the rice birds. These lit
tl ■ creatures gather around the rice fields at harvest
time in countless myriads, and of course, consume !
considerable grain. Some years ago, it was deter- j
mined to make war upon them, and drive them out
of the country, and the measure was in some de
gree successful, so far as getting rid of the birds.
“ What are birds good for?” The rice planter soon
found out; for with the decrease of birds, the worms
increased so rapidly, that, instead of a few* scatter
ing grains to feed the birds, the whole crop was de
manded to fill the insatiable maw of the army that
came to consume every young shoot, as fast as they
sprung from the ground. Most undoubtedly the
birds were invited back again with a hearty welcome.
Rice cannot he cultivated without their assistance.
“A few years ago, the blackbirds in the northern
part of Indiana were considered a grievous nuisance
to the farmer. Whole fields of oats were some
times destroyed, and the depredations upon late ;
; u were greater than can be believed, if told.— j
Die farmer sowed and the birds reaped. He scold- i
• i and thev twittered. Occasionally a charge of !
•/O
Hot brought down a score, but made no more im- j
sion upon the great sea of birds, than the re- i
,val of a single bucket of water from the great j
,addle. A lew years later, every green thing
on toe land seemed destined to destruction by the i
army worm. Man was powerless —a worm among j
worms. But his best friends, the hated blackbirds, j
came to his relief just in time to save when all i
seomed lost. No human aid could have helped him. i
How thankful should man be that God has given
him for liis companions and fellow laborers in the
cultivation of the earth, these lovely birds. “ The
laborer is worthy his hire.” Why should we ha
grudge the little moiety claimed by the busy little
fellows which followed the plough, and snatched the
worm away from the seed, that it might produce
grain for his and our sustenance? ‘Xo honest man
would cheat a bird of his spring and summer’s
work.’”
Why is a good sermon like a kiss ? Do you give
it up? Because it only requires two heads and an
application.

Blitz in an Omnibus.
A night or two since, Blitz, the renowned mag-1
cian and ventriloquist, took a seat in an omnibus
containing seven or eight passengers. The coach
had proceeded a couple of squares, when the driver
heard someone exclaim—
“ Hold up —hold up, I say !”
The horses were stopped and John looked around
smilingly for his passenger, hut none appeared.—
With an immodest exclamation, he gathered up his
reins and said “get up.” Pretty soon someone cried
out—
“ Stop, driver, stop ?”
The driver again stopped, and looked down into
the coach, inquired what was wanting. The passen
gers eyed each other, as much as to say, “ I didn’t
speak.”
Again the coach rolled on, only to he stopped at
the next corner by the heart-rending squeaking of a
poor run over pig.
“ Keep off my toes !”
“ Every one looked around, hut in vain, for the
man with the damaged toes. The passengers w*ere
completely bewildered. At the next crossing the
coach stopped to take in a lady. Hardly had she
taken her seat, before she exclaimed —
“ Let me he—keep your hands off me ?”
The gentleman seated next to her, said very in
nocently,
“I didn’t, touch you, madam !”
And the driver looking down, shouted—
“Look-a-herc, in there; if you’re gentlemen, I’d
thank you not to take improper liberties with the la
dy passengers—it won’t do !’ r
The lady made an observation, as the coach rolled
on, but she was not understood. They had scarce
ly gone a square further, when the passengers were
startled by the cries of an infant. Instantly all eyes
were fixed upon a middle aged gentleman, who
had a carpet-bag on his lap. The man blushed and
stammered out a barely intelligible--
“ What the deuce is all this about ?”
“ Let me out 1” screamed a lady.
“ Murder!” shouted a hoy on the steps, while three
or four tugged lustily at the strap.
“ What is the matter in there ?” inquired the dri
ver.
“ Matter enough,” reglied a gentleman, “ take my
fare out of this quarter.”
“ Keep your hand out of my pocket,” proceeded
from someone.
“ Did you address me, sir?” asked another.
“ I didn’t speak at all,’’ gravely replied the man
with the quarter.
“ Because, sir, no one shall, with impunity ac
cuse— ’’
Again the baby was heard to cry.
“ Shame!” said someone.
“Who would have believed it?” remarked an
other, while a third (Blitz, of course,) shook the om
nibus with a horse-laugh. Thinking he had had
fun enough, the ventriloquist paid his fare and jump
ed out of the omnibus. Scarcely had lie reached
the side-walk, however, before the driver heard the
word “hold up !” from four quarters in as many sec
onds, but not a passenger could he discern. Filled
with wonder, he hurried on his way. Blitz is a
great fellow*.— [Phila. City Item.
Satan in the Grocery Business.
The Philadelphia Enquirer relates, in the police
report the following singular case of Monomania:
A hypochondriacal old fellow, named Aaron
Simms, who was lately engaged in the grocery bu
siness, somewhere in Filbert Street, has lately re
ceived tUe stmnge idea that 4ie is Old Scratchy A
bout two weeks ago, he gave orders to a sign Pain
ter to prepare him a board with the inscription—
“ Satan, Grocer and Tea Dealer,” in large gilt
letters. The sign was painted, according to direc
tion, but the friends of the monomaniac interfered
and prevented it from being put up. Ilis custo
mers not liking the idea of dealing with the devil,
dropped oft'; except one roguish old negro, called
Dave Gantle, who, by humoring the lunatic, con
trived to swindle him out of goods to a considerable
amount. A cousin of Mr. Simms, who thought it
i expedient to keep watch over the conduct of the in
{ sane relative, was in the back part of the store on
Thursday evening, while Simms alias Satan, stood
behind the counter. At this time, the negro, Dave
Cantle, happened to come in, and, the cousin not be
ing perceived by him, he commenced a conversa
tion with Simms to the following purport: —
“I say, old boss devil, I want a few more things on
that account, you know.
•* It’s all squared up, Dave,” answered Simms,
“here it is posted in my ledger,--‘Dave Cantle,
debtor, to six pounds of sugar, 48 cents: four pounds
coffee, 64 cents: two gallons molasses, GO cents,’
and so on, about forty different items, sum total
just twenty-five dollars. And here on this side is
credited Dave Cantle, by one soul , $25, to be taken
out in trade.
“ That account is closed old fellow; you can’t get
any more goods here, unless you’ve got another soul
to trade away on the same terms.”
“ Look a here, boss,” answered Dave in a tone of
expostulation, “I often here de debbil had no con
science, and now I begin to believe it. You gvvine
to allow me only twenty-five dollars for dat soul, and
it wof fifty ?”
“ I have given you what we agreed for,” replied
Simms, “ and I don’t think any negro’s soul worth
more. I can buy lots of white souls for half the
money.”
“But, Mr. Debbil, you must consider dat I took
it out in trade , dat make a difference. A nigger’s
j soul is a cash article boss ; and I jest want what’s
right, I does; so you just ’blcge me with two gal
lons more ’lasses and 4 quarts black-eyed peas and
I trow in de soul of my wife, den you git a fuss rate
bargain ! ”
At this juncture, Mr. Simm’s cousin thought prop
er to interfere ; he sprang out and seized tlip black
swindler who was soon handed over to the agents of
the law. The relatives of the monomaniac deemed
it expedient to shut up the store, and they have ta
ken legal measures for putting the imaginary Satan
under proper guardianship.
Jenny Lind.
Our city came very near escaping the Jenny Lind
fever, and would have done so, but for the fact that
Jenny, like her neighbors, must commit the very un
sentimental act of eating and drinking; and she,
therefore, together with the other passengers from
the North, sat down to an excellent supper at Ja
rett’s Hotel, on Saturday night, about 9 o’clock.—
No sooner was it known that the Nightingale had
reached the Hotel, than multitudes flocked to it, de
termined, if they could not hear her sing, to see her
eat. The rush and crush exceeded anything which
has ever been seen in this “neck of woods.” Old
women and young women—persons with families,
and persons “in the family way,”were there, and
there were rustling and hustling, and squeezing
and pulling, and tugging, to get a sight of the fair
Sweede. Jenny, hewever, took it all very philosoph
ically, and went to supper “ with what appetite she
had.” A gentleman who witnessed her perform
ances at the supper table, tells us that she eats re
markably well, indeed ; in fact quite as well as any
person whom he ever saw eat. He went so far as to
say that she chewed her food and swallowed it, and
that w hen she wished to drink, she raised the cup or
glass with her right hand, and placing it to her ruby
lips, imbibed. Our informant seemed to he very
enthusiastic in his description of the scene. The lo
comotive, Henry I). Bird, drew the train in which
the Nightingale left the city, and, on starting whis-
sm ©s© m© i sisissia
tied the Bird Song in compliment to that “angel.”
There is a report out that the cup from which
Jenny Lind drank is to be raffled off at SIOO a
chance. Total number of chances 100. The four
horses which drew* her coach from one depot to the
other have turned out to he a great speculation.—
Their tails have been shaved, and hair for a large
number of lockets and breastpins have been sold for
a considerable sum.
“ I am like Balaam,” said a dandy on meeting a
prettty girl in the passage, “stopped by an angel.”
“ And 1 am like an angel,” said said she, “ stopped
by an ass.
The original Mrs. Partington remarked to us,
quite recently, that there w*as so many intimations
of her, now-a-days, she hardly knew how to indem
nify herself.

PROSPECT US
OF THE
FIFTH VOLUME OF THE
Published ut Notasulga, Alabama.
John C. Burruss, Editor &, Proprietor.
THIS PAPER is the organ of the IJniversalist De
nomination in the Southern and South-Western
States, and will be as heretofore, devoted to the religion
of our I/)rd and Savior, Jesus Christ. The promulga
tion and defence of the her.ign doctrine of Universal
Grace as inscribed on the pages of Divine Inspiration—
Literature, the Markets, Science and General Intelli
gence.
It will give energetical essays on supposed difficult
passages of Scripture—repel assaults that are being
made against the doctrine of Universal Salvation, (for
which, all good people pray) and labor to establish be
yond successful cavil, “by proofs divine, and reasons
strong,” that God will finally destroy sin and misery
from the Universe and ‘reconcile all things unto himself, ’
[col. 1., 20.] thoroughly washed and regenerated!
The unprecedented success which has thus far atten
ded the ‘Herald,’ has induced the Editor to publish it ‘
every week, in an improved form, commencing in Janu
ary next, at greatly reduced rates.
As additional expense will necessarily be incurred, it
is to be hoped that the friends of liberal principles, will
at once exert their utmost influence in procuring new
subscribers, and thus aid in sending the ‘Herald’ into
manv desolate regions of our Zion, where the voice of
the preacher is hut seldom heard.
The Editor is pleased to state that Revs. C. F. R.
Shehane, S. J. McMorrris, Almon Gage, D. B. Clayton,
and others are regular contributors to the work, from
whose instructive pens, the columns of the ‘Herald’ will
be weekly enriched.
The reputation of there brethren is too well known to
require any eulogium from our pen. Suffice it to say,
that with their concentrated action, the Editor will labor
dilligently to make his paper an acceptable exponent of
the great doctrine of‘the restitution of all things.’ [Acts,

CIVIL ENGINEERING
Will be thoroughly and practically taught in the Western Military In

experienced Engineers in the United States. All the instruments con

i The Superintendent takes the liberty of stating that he is now ofler
eds*s per month, for cornpetant assistant Engineers. One of his foi

The time is rapidly approaching when there will be a great demand
for such as have been prepared for that vocation, at the Western Mil

command $1,200 or $1,500 per annum. Every man of observation !
must see that the gigantic enterprises already proposed, will give birth
to hundreds of others, tributary to them. The rapid advancement o

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, a* 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.
i Tiie success which during this long series of y.'ars, has attended
i his administrations, has, in many instances, been such, as to over
! come the most inveterate prejudicesin favor of the >ld order of things,
and to produce instead thereof, a conviction that ev.n in medicine, as
in other branches of the physical sciences, new idea* may he ndvanc
! 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 suceeds in curing diseases of the most hopeless character after
nlolther means had failed, and that too, in many instances, without see
ing the patient, has long been the subject of general remark, exhibiting
as it does, in bold relief the difference between restoring a case that
lias been absolutely abandoned, and simply raising another, that hun
dreds of others could cure.
Such cases can lie pointed out in almost every county in Gtcain.
where some poor, decrepid, helpless being, after testing every 1> al
means without avail have sent off, as a dernier resort, a desert’ on
i of tlieir diseases to a distance, in many instances hundreds of n.des,
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 fa 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, has been taken advantage of by thousands who liri[>-
pilycan indirectly attribute their present good health to that liable spe
: cimen of liberal government; and there are thousands more wlio 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
a* if talking to a physician, if able and it is convenient, enclose
tie fee; if not convenient just then, a due bill for the amount will
t answer, {this ohruites the inconvenience, of making accounts at great
, tirp'tnt'***? Mfhl ir mu “OiVi \rtry~iftiy ami nm ts tfi hitter fry fif*
k lien medicines suitable to the case will be compounded and sent
full directions.
I M The charge for treatment is only ($5) five dollars, monthly, a sum
sufficiently small to obviate the fear of risk to any one, and yet sutii
/ cientto preserve him from loss in his extensive administrations,
j Tliis done, call at the post office in a reasonable time, and receive
I 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- |
! *elves of his knowledge, with the utmost confidence, in Ins prudence ,
; and integrity, so that in writing out their symptoms, they may express
I themselves with the necessary freedom. In some of the diseases of
! the renal and procreative system, the medicines being more costly, the
I charge will be increased.
Such cases as require personal attention, will be treated on libera
terms in the city, where the accommodations can alwavs
be had.
Those wishing further information in regard to results, will address
a post-paid letter to the undersig e'.who will immediately mail to
the applicant such documents as must disarm doubt.

ECCENTRIC PROGRESSIVE
POWER PRESS.
fTMIE advantages of this new POWER PRESS, and its superiority
\ _L over all others, are as follows:
The power applied is multiplied 440 times, by theLeverand 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 desired, i It is three times as powerful as a screw
of 18 inches diameter, that nine inch pitch of thread with the
i same length of Lever, and of cmVse the horse has to walk hut one
; third as far, for the reason thataleveris required but one-third as long
j to do the same work. And further, the Press follower descends with
: much greater rapidity at the commencement of the operation, when
buHittle power is required, which shortens the distance travelled by
the horse, in proportion to tlie increased velocity of the follower at
the start.
This Press can he made very’ compact, and equally powerful, by
using the wheel and axle, and can lie so modified as to answer any
piirimse 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, than the screws, and if a cast iron Ec
centric wheel is used, it will not be much oner half the work to build
as a screw. For Pressing Cotton, Tobacco, Hemp, Hay,Ate. it cannot
be excelled. There is one-third less timlier in this Press than in the
c revv, and it is certainly the cheapest ever built.
, whole cost of the Irons will not exceed $45, which may be had
off.'. H. Levy, of Macon, who is the only person authosized to furnish
hem. This sum isexclusive of freight and the cost of right to use
the I ress. If the Eccentric wheel is made of Iron, the cost will tie
10 or 15 more for the Iron work, but it w ill 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 canconstruct the Press from the
drawings and specifications w hich will accompany each right.
I sliallst 11 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
of the place where the letter is mailed. Each right will be accompa
niedbv an engraving and a fuff description, so that any mechanic will
be able to build the P.'ess. Any communications, post-paid, will be
punctually attended to. A. W. BROWN.

CELEBRATED
RHEUMATIC LINIMENT
ot Dr. de Graffenried, its discoverer and inventor- 8 * ‘ ****
The undersigned frankly states that he has prescribed this •
for the last twenty-two years, in all forms of Acute and ChmSr
mat ism, w.tl, a success uniaraffeled in the annals of of med.Cne
; be has no hesitation in saying, that it is decidedly the most va.’Jlu
remedy ever yet discovered for the relief of this most painful and
tressing malady. lIUI and a
nd note-book contains upwards of three hundred cases, in whb-N
has been used within the above named period, and in no sVn.i
| instance lias it come to bis knowledge, of its having failed to effect
[ cure when persevered in. Many of the cases were from four to te
years standing; and what may appear yet more remarkable and erre.
ordinary, is, that when thd |iatient has been once relieved, the iwl ‘
is permanently cured, remains so, not a solitary instance having
reported to him of its return. • b * ee
I All he would ask for this remedy is a fair, impartial and patiem
, trial, for the results he entertains no aj>prehevsin. M
Up to the time of this discover}', the undersigned had wsll studio
the origin, progress and character of this disease, and is well assurT
had consulted every author on its treatment, wiio had written or
translated into the English language, and had used all the renwfr™
any notoriety then in vogue with the profession, with however
rarely any relief to poor suffering humanity. ’ ™
It has baffled the skilland science of the most eminent Phrinrian#
and Burgeons of our own, and of every other countrv. But'the un
| dersigned flatters himself that his remedy will cure this most painful
. disease, when all others have failed, and that he shall have been an
humble instrument in the hands of God, of relieving the human
j of a vast amount of suffering. ‘

iment, 1 take pleasure in stating that I believe it one of the
most valuable remedies ever used for that common and most
distressing disease, having witnessed its effects upon a ne
gro man of mine, who had been afflicted for four years, nn
til almost every joint was enlarged, and the body otherwise
j emaciated. By the use of four or five bottles, in three *(*eks
he was relieved entirely from pain.

Dear Sir—About the first of April last. 1 came to Colum
bus lo fret medical assistance, and was advised to call on vcu
as having a remedy that would afford me speedy relief. I*
was taken down in January last, with a violent attack es
Rheumatism in nearly all my joints, so badlv, that I could
not pull off my shoes without aid ; nor could j ascend or de-’
sceud steps, or pull off my clothes without assistance. My
right arm and hand were nearly useless; the fingers con
tracted and swollen ; the riffht knee swollen and stiffened,-
so that I could not bend it but very- little. Up to the Ist o!*
April, 1 was all the time in sutferinjr and pain ; 1 rubbed
with 5 our Kheumatic Liniment my limbs three times, and 1
was the next morning enabled to descend a long flight o
steps, without aid of crutch or stick, and back to my room—p
could also bend my knee and bring it up to the chair, which 1
the previous day, I could not have done if my life had de-’
pended on it. I could also use, open and bend my fingentv
which was an impossibility the day before. I rose in iU
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 I had been ten days before I called on
you, for any amount of money that could be given me; for
what is life worth when in constant pain and misery! J.
consider your Rheumatic Liniment, the most valuable med

call on you for a bottle of your Liniment, and bv using half
the bottle, she was entirely relieved, and the relief w as man

Co’.A.Jt. Ragan Sir, it affords ine great pleasure to be able to
I bear testimony to the efficacy and virtues of l)r. de GrrffenriuTi
! Rheumatic Liniment.
I have been sorely afflicted for the last six years with what I believ
ed to lie, and what eminent Physicians of this city pronounced. Khen
ntatic pout, for several winters [last I have been confined to my room
and bed nearly all the time. Jn January last, I had an attack as violent
it not more so than usual, which prostrated me foraliout three weeks;
on your recommendation I commenced the use of this Liniment.
|55 ith I must contess but little faith.) Its effects were astonishing
and decidedly beneficial from its first application. In a few days my
back, w rists and ankles were entirely relieved (and so continue) of ail
the soreness and jains, and the swellings reduced, w ith the use ot
less than one bottle. I have been iu the dischargt of my ordinary
; business e. er since.
I consider it an extraordinary, and decidedly the most efficacious
i remedy for this disease, which I have ever met with. And most cheer
fully recommend its use to all w ho may be afflicted with it.

Dr. dc Graffenried —Dear Sir, for the last twelve years, I havesut
ferec very severely with the Rheumatism, having been nearly one
fourth of the time confined to my bed by it. I bare had the best med
ical aid to lie found in various citiesin the United Mates, with little or
no benefit. I have also tried innumerable strongly recommended
remedies, which have failed to effect a cure. I spent the fast su miner |
at the cedi v; Sulphur and Hot Spring* in Virrinei. to little purpose. -
After li Kit hern home, I so far recovered, as to be able to w alk about a
little, j t six weeks since, I had a severe attack which neain con

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

September, 1845, w ith no sat sfactory result w hatever. I was then
induced, by a rheumatic acquaintance, to try your Liniment, as some
