Recepts,
Gingerbread Snaps. —Take a pound and a half
of flour, half a pound of butter, tho same of sugar,
and molasses, and an ounce of powdered ginger.—
Mix well before the lire, add live tablespoonfuls
of thick cream, work into a stiff paste, roll out thin,
dip a wineglass into flour, cut out the snaps with it,
and bake in a quick oven.
Cranberries.—An excellent cranberry preserve
mav be made by adding three quarters of a pound
of loaf sugar to a pound of fruit ; boil the cranber
ries twenty minutes, then add the sugar, and boil
twenty minutes more.
This fruit should be kept in water until required
for use—river water is the best; it should then first
be boiled in very little water, in an iron or tin sauce
pan about ten minutes; then smashed or broken in
a saucepan with a wooden pestle, made of any hard
wood; the bottom of this pestle should be an inch
and a half in diameter if required for pies. Sugar
is now mixed with it, and the pie is made in the usu
al way.
Mock Turtle. —Take two calf’s feet, and one chick
en, cut them into pieces as for a fricasee; make the
seasoning with three large onions, a large handful of
parsely, and a few sweet herbs; chop them all to
gether; then season the meat; let the calf’s feet stew
two hours and a half in three quarts of water ; then
put in the chicken, let it stew half an hour; then
take the juice of two lemons, a tea-cup full of Ma
deira wine, some cayenne pepper; put that in last;
let it all slew together half an hour, and serve it up
in a soupdisli. Forced-meat balls of veal may be
laid at the top, and hard eggs.
Grapes in Texas.—We see that the grape cul
ture is about to be introduced into Texas. The Hous
ton Telegraph says:
“M. Matrat, a French gentleman, who was rear
ed in one of the most extensive wine districts of
France, has collected a large number of the best
native grapes of Texas, and intends to cultivate them
for the purpose of establishing vineyards of the best
varieties. He has visited the valley of the Bosque,
the Leon, and most of the tributaries of the Colora
do, where the choicest grapes have been discovered.
He has some roots of the celebrated Bosque grape,
and the Bush grape, that abounds in the hilly region
of the Colorado above Austin. Some of these varie
ties, he says, are far superior to the Catawba, the Is
bella, and other varieties that have been cultivated
here. They are more hardy and yield more fruit,
as well as better wine, than the grapes that have
heretofore been cultivated in this section. This old
gentleman has been engaged for three years collect
ing samples of the choicest varieties of our native
grapes, and has often jeopardized his life by pene
trating into the Indian country to examine the
grapes there. He is indeed quite an enthusiast,
and one to hear him speak on his darling theme
might imagine from the ardor he exhibits that he
was excited by the juice of the grapes he is extoll
ing. He, however, is one of the most temperate
men in the country, and corroborates by his hab
its the oft-repeated statement, that the people of
wine countries are remarkably temperate.
Flint Enamel Ware. —An excellent jr ought
stoneware is made in Bennington, Vermont fife i-e no
feldspar, and quart*, ground fine, pressed tb|L ; gli Ir
lineseive, and afterwards made into a paste,
-ed into the desired form. An enamel of pure flint is ad
ded in baking, which is tinged with various delicate
colors. The ware is exceedingly hard and tough, and
it is as cheap as common crockery. Without the
enamel it is white, and very closely resembles that
kind of composition of which statuettes have lately
been made in France. The inventor’s name is Fen
ton, who has lately taken out a patent. The durabili
ty of this ware, not being easily broken, its elegance
and the nature of the ingredients, which make it per
fectly wholesome for any use to w hich it may be put
in the kitchen and pantry, are qualities which will
probably sooon introduce it into very general use. —

A Georgia Made Piano.— We were equally sur
prised and pleased the other day to receive an invi
tation to call and see a Piano manufactured in Au
gusta —surprised to learn that such an enterprise was
in progress, for we were not previously aware of it,
so quietly had it been kept, and pleased to ascer
tain that through the agency of Messrs. Schinner 6c
Wigand, the enterprising and successful manufac
turers of Burr Mill Stones, the manufacture of Pi
anos had been commenced. Imagine, then, our high
gratification, on arriving at the upper tenement of
‘Quality Range,’ at being shown a seven octavo in
strument, which, for external beauty, exquisite finish
of workmanship, will compare favorably with the
most elegant instruments made in the best Factories
at the North. Os its tone and power we do not feel
competent to express an opinion, though in both it
seemed very superior, and in that opinion a very
competent artiste concurred.
The maker, Mr. Peter Brenner, a very modest,
unassuming German, who served his time in Germa
ny, and has ivorked several years in some of the best
manufactories in this country, Inis been in this city
about six months, and this is his first instrument,
every part of which has been made by him here,
save the strings and screws. It w ill be entirely com
pleted in a few days, when it will be placed on exhi
bition at the Masonic Hall, and the public invited to
call and examine it for themselves.— Chronicle 6c

Fine Brooms. —lt affords usgreat pleasure to call
the attention of our readers to the advertisement of
T. W. Fleming, offering a supply of very superior
Brooms for sale. For length of brush, they surpass
any Me have ever seen in any market. In addition
to their other good qualities, they are exclusively of
Southern production, having been manufactured by
E. W. Kingsland, of Greenville, South Carolina.—

To Iveef Door Knobs Clean.— Indies are Tory fond of
keeping the door kuobs, spoons, plate, &c., in brilliant order.
Now, if, instead of water and ehalk and such preparations,
they will use eampliine and rotten stone, a far brighter, quick
er, and more durable polish will be attained.
Another Virginia Invention. — Mr. Frederick A.
Whitesearver, of the county of Bedford, has invent
ed an instrument which promises to be of great val
ue to Engineers and Surveyors. It is called ‘a self
calculating transit,’ and is intended to measure area
and distance without the usual measurement by
chain; and without requiring the needle, as in the
ordinary compass, except perhaps for the purpose of
obtaining the point of departure. Instrument seems
highly recommended by scientific and practical men,
and is well worth the examination of professional
Engineers, or of persons interested in extensive or
aacnrate surveys.— Whig.

Ode to a Goose.
O bird most rare ! although tbotl aft
Uncommon common on a common,
What man or woman
Can in one single term impart
A proper name for thee ?—An ancient Roman
Would answer —“Ansrr.” Sure am I, that no man
Knowing thy various attributes, would choose
To call thee Goose.
No, Goose ! thou art no Goose. Well stuffed with sago
And titillating things both dead and living,
Forever art thou giving
Solace to man in life’s brief pilgrimage.
Jove's eagle wielding the avenging thunder,
Is but a folio hawk, a bird of plunder.
Minerva’s ow l,
(Both are foul fowl!)
Shunning the light, should ne'er have been preferr'd
To rank as Wisdom’s bird. —
As for the young and stately swan,
A Scottish lawyer is the man
To sing its praises,
I am no writer to the cygnet —so,
Avoiding further periphrase.
For thee alone, O Goose, my verse shall flow'.
Obird of Morpheus! half our lives arc sped,
(Ay, and the happiest too) upon a bed
Stuff’d with thy feathers. On thy breast
Thou husbest us to rest,
As if we were thy goslings,
Till wc forget life's hubble-bubble,
Its toil and trouble,
Its crossings and jostlinge,
And borne in dreams to ompyrean latitude,
Revel in ejstacies and bright beatitudes.
Churls that we are! what snoozing hum
Ascends to thee ?—what peans, what adorings ?
Our mouths, perchance, arc open, but they're dumb :
Our sole harangues
Are nasal twangs,
And all our gratitude consists of snorings.
Bird of Appolo ! worthy to pluck grass
Ou the Parnassian mountain,
liesido the classic fountain
Os Hippocrene, what Muse with thee can class,
To whoso inspiring wing we owe
All that the poets past have writ;
From whose ungathered wings shall flow
All our whole store of future wit ?
Well may’st thou strut,
Proud of thy pens uncut,
Which shall cut jokes,
In after times, for unborn folks ;
Well inay’st thou plume thyself upon thy plumago—all
Is erudite aud intellectual,
Each wing a cyclopedia, fraught
With genius multiform, a world of thought.
Ah ! when thou putt’st thy head
Beneath that wing to bed,
In future libraries thou tak’st a nap,
And dream'st of Paternoster Row, mayhap !
What are they dreaming of that they forget
(The publishing and scribbling set)
To apotlicosisc tlioe, Goose !
As the tenth Muse T
And then the darling driblets,
That constitute thy giblets,
Whether in soup or stew’d,
Oh! wliat delicate aud dainty food !
Full of my subject t’was my dinner dish,)
No wonder that I feel all over goosey,
Fired with what Brahain calls entusimusy,
So nincli so, I could almost wish,
If fate were nothing loth,
To be a Goose instead of man.

w A Practical Joke Punished.-— An old coal
dealer who had made a great deal of money by retail
ing coals, and living in a very penurious way, con
ceiving that he had at least sufficient to enable him
to leave off business, and live like a gentleman, built
himself a neat villa in the country, to which lie re
tired. But such is the force of habit that, (to
the great annoyance of his family, who wished him
to ‘sink the shop 1 ) he was always unhappy, unless in
the cellar measuring his own coals. Among oth
ers who had often expostulated with him on the im
propriety of so doing, was a favorite nephew, to
whom he had given a good education, and support
ed in the first style. One morning, walking in his
garden with his nephew, he said to him.
‘Henry, I want a motto, or something of that
kind, to put up in front of my house; but 1 don’t like
your Grove House —Prospect Place—this Villa, and
tother Lodge. Come, you are a scholar, give me
one, and let it be in Latin.’
‘Well,’ replied the nephew, ‘what think you of —
Thus is industry rewarded !’
‘The very thing,’ says the uncle, ‘if you’ll only pat
it into Latin.’
The nephew then, taking out a pencil, wrote on a
slip of paper, Otium sine dignitate (Ease without
dignity,) which he gave to his uncle, who read it
thus— Hotum sinne dcgnilat.
“Ay, Henry,” said the uncle, ‘that’ll do famous
ly !’
The next day he sent for a painter, who happened
to know as little of the dead languages as himself,
and the words were painted in large characters on
a conspicuous part of the house. On the Sunday
following he happened to have a large party ; and
after dinner, as-the company were strolling about
the garden, to view bis improvements, some read
the words, but said nothing [uot wishing probably, to
show their ignorance]—some said ‘they were prodi
giously fine’—‘so novel’—‘so appropriate;’ and to
those who did not exactly happen to observe them,
he was kind enough to point them out, and to ex
plain the meaning, saying, ‘Thus is industry re
warded,’ and that ‘lie was not ashamed of having
gained a competency in trade.’ However, among
tho company there happened to be a Carter-house
boy, who told the old gentleman that there must be
some mistake, for they were the last words he should
like to have put upon a house of his. This brought a
bout an explanation; and the poor old coal dealer was
so struck with the malice and ingratitude of his ne
phew, that he instantly destroyed a codicil to his
will, in which lie had left him JL'oOOO, took to his
bed, and did in a fortnight!
A considerable coal owner in the north, was instructing
bis daughter, a little girl about eight years of age, in the prin
ciples of religion, and explaining to hor the rewards and pun
ishments of a future state, lie told her among other tilings,
that the wicked would be sent to a large pit, where they
would be roasted in an immense fire by evil spirits. She was
very attentive, and after a pause, said, ‘Papa, what a good
thing it would be if you could get them to take their coals
of you.

Love Letters.
It would seem to be libelling the votaries of Cu
pid,, were we to say that ‘variety is charming.’ It is
soiu some things but not in love. The lex scripta
ot love seeks one object; variety is not thought of.
Divided love, they say, is never happy. But in pub
lishing trom our collection of amorous epistles, we
desire to pay some attention to variety ; therefore wc
begin, to-day, with a curious letter written by one
of the ablest epistolatory writers, and one of the
most charming correspondents in love matters, that
has graced any age of the world. It is Mrs. Eliza
beth Montague, who was the daughter of Mathew
Robinson, and was born in 1720, at York, England.
She was assisted in her education by the celebrated
Doctor Conyers Middleton, who wrote the life of
Cicero. She was a woman of extraordinary beau
ty, and was much admired in the University of
Cambridge. She was much esteemed by the wis
est and best men of her day, and was permitted to
share the counsels of the politician, to estimate the
works of the historiau, the critic, the scholar; and to
entwine her myrtle with the bay of tho poet. All
who were distinguished for learning sought her so
ciety. Her letters to her husband Mr. Montague,
were, we believe, never published. Her literary fame
is chiefly derived from the letters addressed to the
Duchess of Portland. Her powers in amatory cor
respondence may be judged of by a letter which
she wrote at the instigation of tho Duchess of Port
land io Doctor Shawe, the eminent traveller. h>octor
Shawe was about to be married to a widow; and
Mrs. Elizabeth Montague thought proper to give
him some advice, which she did as follows:
Rev. Sir:— You will perhaps think me rather |h>
hasty in my congratulations, if I wish you joy\of n
ing going to be married, whereas it is generally n.4 VK .-
al to stay till people really are so, before we ofter to 11
make our compliments. But joy is a very transito
ry thing, therefore I am willing to seize on the first
occasion: and I imagine you are glad you are going
to be married. I wish you joy of that gladness; for
whether you will be glad after you are married is
more than mortal wight can determine; and having
prepared to rejoice with you I should be loth to de
fer writing till, perhaps, you were to become sorow
ful; I must therefore, in prudence, prevent, your es
pousals. I would not have you imagine I shall treat
matrimony in a ludicrous manner. It is impossi
ble for a man who, alas! lias had two wives,to look
upon it as a jest, or think it a light thing ; indeed it
has several advantages over a siugle life. You thftt
have made many voyages, know that the tempest is
better than a dead calm; and matrimony teaches
many excellent lessons, particularly patience and
submission, and brings with it all the advantages of
reproof and the great profit of remonstrances. —
These, indeed, are only temporal benefits; but be
sides, any wife will save you from purgatory; aud a
diligent one will secure heaven to you. If you
would atone for your sins, and do a work meet for
repentance marry. Some people wonder how Cu
pid has been able to wound a person of your prow
ess; you who wept not with the crocodile,” listened to
the Sirens, stared the basilisk in the face, and whis
tled to the rattlesnake, went to the masquerade with
Proteus, danced the hoys with Scylla and Charvbdis,
taught the dog of the Nile to fetch and carry, walk
ed cheek by jowl with a lion, made an intimacy with
a tiger, wrestled with a bear, aud, in short, lived like
an owl in the desert, or a pelican in the wilderness;
after defying monsters so furious and fell, that you
should be overcome by an arrow out of a little ur
chin’s quiver, is amazing! Have you not beheld
the mummies of the beauteous Cleopatra and tho
fair consorts of the Ptolemies without one amor
ous sigh ! And now, to fall a victim to a more mod
ern widow, is most unworthy of you! What quali
ties has a woman that you have not vanquished ?
Hear tears are not more apt to betray than those of
the crocodile, she is hardly as deceitful as the Siren,
less deadly, I believe, than the rattlesnake, scarce as
changeable as Proteus, nor more dangerous than.
Scylla or Charybdis, as docile and faithkl as the tWf
of thj'Xfle, sociable as the liottAnnclyfcl, surefflH
. jJiarligerrY qualities deartli
than those of the animals you M], jfed, what
is it that has conquered you ? de ircr beauty?
Is she as handsome as the EmpTess of the woods?
as well accomplished as the manV chambered sailor?
or as skilful as the nautilus? You will find many
a creature by earth, air, and water that is more beau
tiful than a woman ; but, indeed, she is composed of
all elements, and
Fire, water, woman, are man’s ruin ;
And great's thy danger, Thomas Bruin.
But you will tell me sho has all the beauties in
nature united in her person, such as ivory in her
forehead, diamonds in her eyes, Ac.
But where’s the sense, direct or moral,
That teeth are pearl, or lips are coral ?
If she is a dowdy, what can you do with her? If
she is a beauty what will she do for you i A man
of your profession might know the lillies of the
field toil not, neither do they spin; if she is rich she
won’t buy you ; if she is poor I don’t see why site
should borrow you. But I fear I am advising in
vain, while your heart, like a fritter, is frying in fat
in Cupid’s flames. How frail and weak is flesh!
else sure, so much might have kept in one little
heart; had Cupid struck the lean or the melancholy
I had not lamented; but true Jack Falstaff, kind Jack
Falstaff, merry Jack Falstaff, fat Jack Falstaff, be
ware the foul fiend—they call it marriage—beware
on’t! As what I have advanced on the subject of
matrimony is absolutely unanswerable, I need not
tell you where to directa letter for me ; nor will I
in my pride, declare who I am that gives you this
excellent counsel; hut that you may not despair or
knowing where to address your thanks for this extra
ordinary favor, I will promise, that before you will
find a courtier without deceit, patriot without spleen,
a lawyer without a quibble, a pilosopher without
pride, a wit without vanity, a fool without presump
tion, or any man without conceit you shall find the
true name of your well-wisher and faithful counsel
lor.”
Brevity in “Woman.— We find, in a Californian
diary, the following glorification of a quality we are
not sure we should like. ‘A man of few words’ is
well, but a woman of few words is a matter open to
argument: — Spirit of the Times.
‘I encountered, to-day, in a ravine, some three
miles distant, among the gold washers, a woman
from San Jose. She was at work with a large wood
en bowl, by the side of a stream. I asked her how
long she had been there, and how much gold she
averaged a day. She replied ‘Three weeks and an
ounce.’ Her reply reminded me of an anecdote of
the late Judge B , who met a girl returning
from market, and asked her, ‘How deep did you find
the stream ? what did you get for your butter ?’ ‘Up
to the kee and ninepence,’ was the reply. ‘Ah ! said
tho Judge to himself; she is the girl for me; no
words lost there:’turned back, proposed, was accept
ed, and married the next week; and a more happy
couple the conjugal bonds never united ; the nup
tial lamp never waned; its ray was steady and clear
to the last. e who paddle off and on for seven
years, and are at last, perhaps, capsized, take a les
son of the Judge. That‘up to the knee and nine
pence,’ is worth all the rose letters and melancholy
rhymes ever penned.’

light that her lodgers can see to go to bed without a candle,
after eating a moderate sized piece.

obliged to work for it.’

An April Fool,
It was on the evening of the last day of March,
1850, that two young men were seated in a comfort
able apartment in the Hotel, Boston, with a
bottle of champagne before them, and cigars, in their
mouths.
To-morrow is the first of April,’ spoke out Bob
P.’ at length.
es,’ was the reply of his companion, whose name
was Bill H.
‘You know old Kingley, that old wag, of a dentist
on street?’ continued Bob.
‘Certainly,’ was the reply.
‘Well., one year ago to-morrow, he came a deuce
of a game on me.’
‘Did lie.’
‘Yes, and to-morrow I intend to be up to him for
that same trick.’
‘How.’
‘You see this tooth here ?’ lie replied, as he stretch
ed open his mouth to the view of the other. ‘Well,
it is a false one, and to-morrow I’ll go to him with
lay face bundled up, and tell him I have got a de
cayed tooth, which 1 want extracted, and have him
pull out this false one.’
‘Ha, ha, ha,’burst out Bill, ‘that will indeed, be a
good juke.’
So it was arranged that Bill should happen into
the office of Kingsley the next morning at nine o’-
clock, that lie might see the sport, and that Bob
should arrive in a short lime, ready for the operation.
They then took their departure from the hoted, each
taking the nearest course for his lodgings.
‘Good morning Mr. Kin^*^ o ” °*as the salutation
of Bill 11., the nex.t-iTu* not to dm or the conversa
tion alluded to uy any celebra§p r us^j that individuals
‘Good morning; take a seat,’ was the response.
‘I was passing by,’ continued Bill, ‘and thought I
would give you a short call.’
Thus the conversation proceeded for a short time,
when the door opened, and Bob made his appear
ance. Ilis face and licck was done up in sundry
neckcloths, Ac., and he gave a groan at every step.
He hastily closed the door, and quickly divesting
himself of the neckcloths, lie throw himself into a
chair, and exclaimed—
• Dear doctor, for heaven’s sake, pull this tooth as
quickly as possible, for I have’nt slept half an hour
throughout the night in consequence of its ach
• ing.’
The doctor immediately took up his instrument
—took his position behind his chair, and enquired —
‘Which tooth ?’
Bob pointed to the false one.
The doctor, who was fifty years old, and wore
spectacles, gave a look at the tooth, and seeing it
[ was sound, could not at first conceive what should
cause it to ache, and was about to speak when a
thought struck him. It was the first of April! He gave
another look at the tooth and immediately perceived
that it was a false one, and that a trick was being
practiced upon him.
‘Now hold still, and be perfectly quiet,’ said the
doctor.
‘I will,’ was tho reply, ‘but be as quick as possi
ble.’
The doctor took his instrument, and clapping it
upon the tooth next the false one, which was a large
double tooth, perfectly sound, he gave one tremend
ous jerk, and it was out!
With a yell of agony, Bob sprung to his feet, and
screamed out —
‘Murder! doctor, you’ve pulled the wrong tooth!’
‘O, no,’ quietly replied the doctor, wiping hisjin
struments, ‘the one you told me to extract, I pulled
out some ten months ago, and I thought you wouldn’t
want one tooth to go through such an exceedingly
painful operation twice!’
Bob seized his hat and sloped ! and from that day
he has had a natural horror of Dr. Kingsley.

CELEBRATED
RHEUMATIC LINIMENT,
IN introducing this medicine to the people ofthe T nitrd Sta.es. for
sale, the proprietors beg leave to submit the following statement
of Dr. de Graffenried, its discoverer and investor:
The undersigned frankly states that he has prescribed this medicine
for the last twenty-two years, in all forms of Acute and Chronic Rlien
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 siugle
instance has it come to his knowledge, of its having failed to effect a
cure when persevered in. Many of the cases were from four to ten
years standing; and what may appear yet more remarkable -nd 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 results he entertains no apprehension.
Up to the time of this discovery, the undersigned had well studied
the origin, progress and character of this disease, and is well assured
lied 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, very
rarely any relief to poor suffering humanity.
It lias baffled the skill and science of the most eminent Physicians
and Surgeons of our own, and of every other country, l’.ut the un
dersigned Matters 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 tbe human family
of a vast amount of suffering.

FROM COL. A. KV. A
Dr. E. It. de Graffenried —Learning that you are abou
to manufacture for the public, your valuable Rheumatic Lin
iment, I take pleasure in stating that I believe it one of the
most valuable remedies ever used forthat common and most
distressing disease, having witnessed its effects upon a no
gro man of mitie, who bad becu afflicted for four years, un
til almost every joint was enlarged, aud the body otherwise
emaciated. JJy the use of four or five bottles, iu three weeks,
ho was relieved entirely from pain.

Columbus, October 30, 1843.
Dear Sir—About the first of April last, I came to Colum
bus to get medical assistauce, and was advised to call on you
as having a remedy that would afford me speedy relief. 1
was taken down iu January last, with a violent attack of
Rheumatism in nearly all my joints, so badly, that I could
not pull off my shoes without aid ; nor could I ascend or de
scend steps, or pul! 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. I’p to the Ist of
April, I was all the time in suffering aud pain ; I rubbed
with your Rheumatic Liniment my limbs three times, and
was the next morning enabled to descend a long flight of
steps, without aid of crutch or stick, and back to my room—l
could also bend my knee and bring it up to the chair, which
ttie previous day, I could not have doue if my life had de
pended on it. I 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 aud an eight ounce vial of your Rheumatic Liniment,
and iu ten days, I was relieved. I would not have been in
the condition which I hud been ten days before I called on
you, for any amount of Aipney tliat could bo given jne,; l6r
what is life worth when in constaat Jtßt fciuT'misery ! I
consider your Rheumatic Liniment, the most valuable med
icino in tho world. 1 am, dear sir, your friend,
J. H. SMITH.
Columbus, Nov. I, 1843.
Dear Sir—My negro woman Patience, a cook, had a stiff
neck from a painful Rheumatic affection, for six or seven
years, and could not turn her neck except with the body. 1
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 us ever she had ; and up to this time it lias not return
ed. ’ GARLAND IL TERRY.
Philadelphia, Fob. 1, 1850.
Dr. de Graffenried—Dear Sir: Having been afflicted, for
some lime past, with a severe attack of Rheumatism, and
having heard of the wonderful effects of your Rheumatic
Liniment, I was induced to try a bottle of it, and after three
days, I was so much relieved as to be able to leave the house
aud attend to business. 1 have perfectly recovered from the
disease, and would cheerfully recommend the Liniment to
all those who are ulflicted.
GEORGE HOOD, 27 Powell st.
Columbus, o'a., Oct. 13, 1849.
Dr. E. L. dc Graffenried — Dear Sir: Agreeable to your
request, I give my testimonial as to the virtue of your Lini
ment in the cure of Rheumatism. Being attacked in one
joint of my finger, last winter, w ith acute Rheumatism, and
having used many of the unminibervd prescriptions for it*
cure, with but little benefit, 1 made application of two bottles
r ’’Jour Liniment, which I am happy to say relieved me in a
Y?ry respectfully, J\ S. CHAPMAN-
I can testily to the efficacy of Dr. de Graffenried's Rheu
matic Liniment in the case of Mr. F. S. Chapman, as it came
r under my immediate observation.
Oct. 13, 1843. R. A. WARE, M. I).
Dear Sir—Some time in January last, Airs. McKee war
taken very ill with Inflammatory Rheumatism iu 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. I.uke Reed, to
call on you for a bottle of your Liniment, and by using half
the bottle, site was entirely relieved, and the relief was man
ifest or sensible after three or four rubbings. lam of opinion
it is one ofthe 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.

Columbus, Oct. 19th, 1849.
Dr. de Graffenried—Dear Sir: I take pleasure in saving, 1
have a boy who was so badly afflicted w ith Rheumatism,
that he could not raise his hand to bis head, and had nearly
lost the use of his arm. I used the fourth of u 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.
Jones’ Hotel. Philadelphia, March 3d. 1850.
Col. .1. H. Itnfran —Sir, it affords me great pleasure to be aide to
bear testimony to the efficacy and virtues of Hr. de Gro Jennets
Rheumatic /.miincut.
1 have been sorely afflicted for the last six years with what T holier
ed to be, and what eminent Physicians of this city pronounced, Riieti
inatic gout, for several w inters past I have been confined to my room
and bed nearly all the tints. 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.
(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 nnd pains, and the swellings reduced, with the use of
less than one bottle. I have becu iu the discharge of my ordinary
business ecersince.
I consider it an extraordinary, nnd decidedly the most efficacious
remedy for this disease, which I have ever met with. And most cheer
fully recommend its use to all who may be afflicted with it.
Respectfully Yours, N, W. BRIDGES,
Jones’ Hotel.
Baltimore, March 30. 1850.
Dr. it Graffenried —Dear. Fir, for the last twelve years, I have sut
ferce 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 failed to effect a cure. I spent the last summer
at the Whim Sulphur and Hot Spring* in Yirginia, to little purpose
After my return home, I so far recovered, as :o be ab(c to walk about a
little. About six weeks sinee, I had a severe attack which again eon
fined me to my bed, l was in groat pa<u and scarcely able to move me
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.
1 was induced to try your Rheumatic Liniment, and take pleasure in
informingyou that in less than twenty-four hours from the first appli
cation 1 was perfectly free from pain , and continue so up to this lime.
I am now able to attend to business, and fondly hojie all those afflict
ed, as l have been, may be as speedily relieved, as I have l>een with
your medicine. Wishing you ah the blessings you deserve dear sir,
Your grateful and obedient Servant,
GEO. WARDFWORTII.
CoLl MBt s, Ga., Oct. 20, 1849.
Dr. dr Graffenried —Dear Fir, I take pleasure in giving you tliCj
particulars of my affliction by, and relief from Rheumatism. During*
the spring of 1844 I was afflicted with n very severe attack of Inflow- j
matory Rheumatism. I employed all the most celebrated remedies
then known and used in similar cases, aided by medical advice, until i
September, 1845, with no satisfactory result whatever. J was then j
induced, by a rheumatic acquaintance, to iry your Liniment, a some- ’
thing new, and which had cured him; and in one month from the
time I commenced the application,l was well,and clearof tu Rheu
matism as i ever was, and have continued so to tins time.
