Nicotine.
This is the name of the deadly poison through the
agency of which the recent piurdt r of Fougnies, in Bel
gium, by the Count Boearnie, was effected. We learn
from Galignani’s Pari* Messenger that at a recent sitting
of the French Academy of Medicine a report on nico
tine was ready by M. Orfila. This report which con
firms facts already known, contains many new observa
tions of interest to chemists and medical jurisprudence
relative to the properties of the poison and of its traces
after death.
According to this document, nicotine was discover
ed in 1809, by Vanquelin, and is to be found in different
kinds of nicotians, in various proportions. Havana to
bacco contains two per cent, that of the Nord six, \ ir
ginia nearly seven, and that of Lot eight. Smokers, by
inhaling the fumes of tobacco, introduce into their sys
tem a certain quantity (though small) of poisonous mat
ter. Pure nicotine has the appearance of an oily,
transparent liquid, of a pale yellow color, which, after
exposure, turns to brown, It is very hot to tho taste,
and its acrid smell resembles that of tobacco 5 but when
volatilized by heat it throws out characteristic vapors,
which are so oppressive that breathing becomes difficult
in a room where a drop of the liquid has been spilled.
Asa poisonous substance, nicotime possesses excessive
power. In experiments made about teu year ago, in ten
minutes M. Orfila PfHed many dogs, on the tongues of
which he had applied five drops of this alkali; with
twelve drops death ensued in two minutes. But this
powerful poison cannot escape the investigation of men
of art. Pure nicotine, according to the conclusions of
Messrs. Orfila and Stas, has certain characters by which
it is to be detected as easily as a mineral poison. It
can be discovered in the digestive channel, and its exis
tence therein proved, though tiiat channel contains but
a few drops. And even when the poisonous substance
has been absorbed, when it has passed into the other or
gans, it can still be discovered in those organs, and es
pecially in the liver. M. Orfila has tried, on the liver
of animals poisoned with twelve or fifteen drops of ni
cotine, two methods of chemical analysis, which he de
scribes; and he has invariably succeeded in procuring
certain quantifies of the poison sought for.
M. Stas, by making use of a third method on the
body of Gustavus Fougnies, extracted nicotine from the
■tongue, the stomach, and liquid contained therein ; he
also found some in the liver and lungs. He moreover
obtained it from the wood flooring of the dining-room
in which Gustavus died, although that flooring had
been washed with soap, oil, and warm water; and, in
his learned investigation, the Belgian toxologist had re
ceived no indication from the Judge destruction. Be
fore he was informed that Bocarme had been making
experiments relative to tobacco, and nicotine, lie had al
ready found that the poison introduced into that body
of the victim was neither sulphuric acid, (as had been
supposed,) nor acetic acid, but either conicine or ni
cotine.
The progress which medical jurisconsults have
made recently is so great that poisoning by morphine,
strichnine, prussic acid, and other vegetable substances,
hitherto regarded as inaccessible to our means of inves
tigation, may now be detected and recognised in the
most incontestable manner.
M. Orfila, on closing his notice, might well say :
‘'After these results of judicial medical investigation
the public need be under no apprehension. No doubt
intelligent and clever criminals, with a view to thwart
the surgeons, will sometimes have recourse to very
•active poison, little known by the mass and dirticult of
detection ; but science is on the alert, and soon over
comes all difficulty. Penetrating into the utmost
depths of our organs, it brings out the proof of the crime,
and furnishes one of greatest pieces of evidence against
the guilty.’’
The Great Lock Controversy.
An important incident regarding the celebrated
“lock controversy” has taken place. For some time past
it has been well known that Mr. Hobbs, an American
exhibitor of locks, has, upon more than one occasion,
hinted at the possibility of opening without keys those
locks which had been considered as possessing the
great desideratum of perfect security. In order to put
the matter to a test, a number of gentlemen were invi
ted to be present at 34 Great George street, Westmin
ister, to meet Mr. Ilobbs, for the purpose of affording
him an opportunity of operating upon a lock which some
months since was placed on the door of one of the
•vaults of the State paper office. The lock having been
examined, and found to be fairly locked, Mr. Hobbs
produced from his waistcout pocket two or three small
and simple tools —a description of which, for obvious
reasons, we forbear to give—and proceed to work.
Within twenty-five minutes from the time of commenc
ing the bolt of the lock flew back, and the door was
opened. It was then suggested by one of the gentle
men present that Air. Hobbs should turn the bolt back
again and lock the door ; it being a “ detector’’ lock, i;
was considered that he would be unable to accomplish
ithisfeat. In less than ten minutes, however the door
was again locked—no injury whatever was done to the
interior of the lock—and no traces were to be seen ot
its having been picked. The lock in question bore
the stamp of “ Chubb's New Patent.” We under
stand that a committee, consisting of Mr. John Rennie,
Professor Cowpcr, “and Dr. Black, has been appointed
for the purpose of making arrangements for allowing
Mr. Hobbs to try his skill upon the mysterious lock ex
hibited in Mr. Bramah’s window—whoever can suc
ceed in opening which will receive the sum of £2OO.
The lock is to be enclosed between two boards sealed
by the committee, and nothing but the hole for the key
is to be exposed to view, and thirty days is to be the
period allowed for opening it. The experiment is looked
forward to with considerable interest by all persons con
nected with the trade. We may add that Mr. Ilobbs
exhibits a lock, and offers a reward of £2OO to any per
son who can pick it or form a false key which will open
it, after examining the lock and key for any period they
may please.— London Globe.
From the N. F. Journal of Commerce.
FLAX VERSUS COTTON.
The public papers have lately occupied them
selves with a controversy about the probability
of finding iu flax a substitute for and victorious
rival to Cotton; which, as it is alleged, has now
become possible by a pretended discovery by a
certain Peter Claussen, in London, ofa method
of so preparing flax that it can he spun by the
same machinery as cotton. The American
planters need not be alarmed, as the idea of such
a possibility can only be conceived by men
who are entirely ignorant of technical matters
in general, and the nature of flax and cotton in
particular. Numerous attempts to obtain this
end, have in these last 50years been made in
Europe by superficial or sanguine men, but all
have tailed, as it was to be expected. A micro
epical examination shows that the cotton fibre
is a hollow, cylindrical fibre, covered with num
berless points forming a kind of fur, which
provides an adherence of one fibre to others
when in contact, upon which the mechanical
effect of the spinning machinery is based,
whilst that of flax is flat, ribbon-like, and of a
smooth, glossy surface. The consequence is,
that when one fibre is pulled out of a mass, no
others will follow or adhere to it ot its own
accord, unless drawn out by the same means,
and laid alongside of others.
Whoever has once seen the spinning of flax
by hand with open eyes and mind, must be
satisfied of this: and it is this essential difference
of the two materials which qualified cotton for
better absorbing and retaining the pigments of
dyes in the interior, and between the fine fur
of its outside.
The vain attempts to overcome this natural
difference, have all been based upon the
destruction, by chemical or mechanical means
of those qualities in which flax is superior to
cotton, viz: the length and greater strength and
glossiness of its fibre, and not even a partial
success hus ever been obtained, even when
flax was, by chemical means, so completely
denaturalized, that it broke up into fragments
and dust in the attempts to spin it.
Yet the only possible result was the invention
0- the machinery which is now used to spin
k
flax, differing in its features and modus operandi
from cotton machinery, as much as one fibre
differs from the other requiring greater care,
and doing less work; and even this is only ob
tained with the partial loss of the strength of
the flax fibre, as it is indisputable that in this
respect machine spun linen is inferior to hand
spun. I may, with this, barely mention that
flax, as an agricultural crop, is one of the most
capricious in its demand and choice of soil
and climate, most uncertain in its result, as
well in the soil as in divers laborious and
difficult operations it requires, after being cut
and before it becomes lit for spinning.
Hence it will be, that this elder sister will
always walk alongside of its youngercompetitor,
Cotton, and always command a price exactly
so much higher as it warranted by its more
difficult and laborious culture and manipulation,
its superior strength and durability, its greater
brilliancy, smoothness of touch, and other
qualities, as surely as wax candles will always
lie preferred to tallow candles, and woodcocks
be bettor paid lor than mutton. G. A. 8.
RO ES IN HORSES. DISTEMPER.
Mkssehs. Editors: In your March number,
I find an article signed H. A. Bizzell, M. D.,
(mule driver, 1 suppose) in which he says
chloroform is an infallible cure for bots or
grubs in horses. I think after the gentleman
had tried almost everything on the grub, that
it would be dead before the chloroform was
exhibited to it. Administering chloroform (with
a sponge, I presume) to a dead hot is a good
deal like throwing water on a drowned rat.
1 defy him or any other M. I). to prove that
bots ever killed a horse; or that they exist
permamently iu an animal, except attached to
the insensible coat of the stomach ; or, that he
can produce any medicine that will kill the
bots and not kill the animal, if in one.
Distemper is an inflammatory disease, and
the proper mode of treatment is depletion, first
by the lancet or fleam, then by cathartics, ll
the first bleeding, (say 8 to 10 quarts) with
one of the following cathartics, does not abate
the fever, repeat the bleeding in twenty-four or
thirty-six hours, always being guided by the
pulse. Repeat the physic in three or four days,
if necessary.
Cathartics are medicines which, taken inter
nally, increase the number of alvine execu
tions. Aloes are generally considered the.
best cathartic for horses, and form the basis of
most medicines of this kind.
Recipe 1. Cape aloes G drachms, Croton oil 5
drops; mix for a ball.
Recipe 2 Barbadoes aloes pound, and a half,
olive oil a pound, thick molasses a pound and
a half—melt over a water bath ; dose from six
to twelve drachms.
Recipe 3. Aloes five drachms, ground gin
ger a half drachm; mix fora ball.
Recipe 4 Barbadoes aloes 8 ounces, ginger
1 ounce, soap 1 ounce, and molasses sufficient

from six to ten drachms.
Recipe 5. Melt the best Barbadoes aloes
with a filth of its weight in thick molasses, in a
water bath, and mix them well together; dose
from five to ten drachms.—[Prairie Farmer.]
The Corn Crop of Maryland.—The Elk
ton \V hig says: “It is now reduced to a cer
tainty that we are to have very short crops of
corn in all this section of the country. So long
has the dry weather continued, that no rain
no matter how soon it may come, or how
great the quantity, can repair its injury. Oil
many fields thre cannot be half a crop, and the
best will lack, in any event, a third of their ex
pected yield.
Crops. &c, in Alabama.—The Selma Re
porter, ol the Ist inst., says:
W e learn that in some parts of Greene, Tus
caloosa, and the neighboring counties, the
corn crop is almost entirely destroyed. In some
iarge fields scarcely a peck of nubbins to the
acre can be gathered.
The Tuscaloosa Monitor, of July 31st, says:
The corn crop through this whole sec
tion of country is literally destroyed. Many of
our farmers are cuttiug down their entire crops
for fodder; whole and large fields, iu many in
stances, not affording a single year or shoot.
Corn has already been sold here, we under
stand, at one dollar and a quarter per bushel,
and there is no telling what its price will be be
fore the opening of navigation enables us to
get supplies from the seaboard.
Our provision market, in other respects, is
very scan. Bacon sides is selling here now
for 11 and 13 cents per pound. Flour is sel
ling at 85 and 86 a hundred. Our western
friends would do well to take notice of this
state of things,and make arangetnents to furnish
this and other sections of Alabama with early
supplies.
‘•Princeton, Dallas County, July 12.
We have had a drought here of eight weeks,
which has almost burned up our crops; cotton is
fine; our country is generally healthy.
Famine Apprehended.—The West Ala
bamian, published at Carrollton, Pickins coun
ty, Ala., ssys that the drought iu that section
of the State is unparralleled, and that appre
hensions are entertained of a famine in conse
quence ot it. A public meeting has been cal
led to take the subject into consideration.
Irish Landlord and French Fare.
It happened once that a tourist from I-a Belle
France, found his way into the mountain fastensses of
Connemara, and put up at a small road side inn, kept
by one Paddy O'Donohue. Paddy was not in the hab
it of entertaining such guests ; but with native polite
ness not to be outdone by that just fresh imported
from France, he welcomed the wayfarer and bo wad
him to a seat in the little private parlor, back of the
kitchen.
Having rested his weary limbs, which were some
what dislocated by a ride over the biugh mountains,
in a rude specimen of nature's first attempt at cart
making, Monsieur knocked on the table, and quickly
Pat appeared to answer to the summons.
‘Well, ycrhonor?’
‘All, Monsieur Maitre d'llotel vil you be so goot as
to have me some dinner.’
‘Ah, then, to be sure yer honor. The divil a house
froru this to Square Martin’s can give better accommo
dations to a man and stick. My word is :
Walk in who plazes,
The rest —go to blazes.
Whether the little French tourist exactly compre
hended the force of Pat's poetry, it is hard to say at
this distance of time, but certain it is, he shrugged his
shoulders and looked black enough.
‘But may I make bould to ax yer honor what is it
ye’d be wanting for dinner ?’
Ik* Frenchman's appetite prompted his natural apt
ness, and he therefore guessed the purport of Pat’s
query.
‘Any peeegeon ?’
‘Oh, plenty of them.’
\et_\ well, ami, you get me some pee-geons
for my dinner,
‘Why thin, to be sure 1 will, yer honor, and wel
come.’
Away went the host to obey these foreign orders,
with a remark louder than thought in his own mind
of ‘blood and ouns, and that's quare taste, sure enough ’
Up came the dinner, and down it went into the se
cret caverns of French digestion.
Next morning, Paddy appeared before his boarder
with—
‘ ‘V hat’ll yer honor be wanting for yer dinner to-day?’
Ah, my goot friend, your peegeon very goot —ve-
ry goot, indeed, I shall have more peegeon to-day, he?’
On went the week, and each day was the untiring
taste of the epicurean tourist supplied with more pee
*
Saturday oamo and with it camo the accommodat
ing host.
‘\\ hat’ll yer honor have for dinner, to-morrow, Sun
day, you know?’
‘Some more peegeon, inon ami, very goot —very
goot, indeed.’
‘Troth and the divil! not another puslieen is left
in the parish, barrin yer honor'll ate the old torn cat
himself?’
‘Cat—Thomas, Cat—eh? I said peegeon, my
friend.’
‘Sure ye did—an’ the divil a thing else have I give
ye but puslieen.’
‘Peegeon that fly, I mean.’
‘Well, our pushecn will fly at you too, if ye tread on
her tail.’
‘But you did say something about von cat V said the
trembling Frenchman.
‘One cat! Why, by the head of Saint Dennis ‘isn't
one, but six eats yer honor ate.’
‘Eat six cats ?—what ?—me eat six cats ? —I asked
for peegeon’ —yelled the petrified Frenchman.
‘Well, puslieen is what we call little kittens—wee
eats ’
‘I did mean the peegeon with wing and feathers !’
A light here gleamed in upon Paddy’s knowledge
box.
‘Oh, by my soul and conscience, I believe it was
pigeons yer honor wanted V
‘Oui, yes to be sure, my friend.’
‘All, thin, why the divil can’t yon French people
larn to talk plain. Sure you do ate such quare things
as frogs, snails, and rats ; hut luck to me if I saw any
thing strange in yer calling for little cats.’
‘Leetel eats! 1 have eat one, two, six lectel cat!’
‘Divil a doubt of it.’
The grimace which followed the certainty of this
fact, may be more easily imagined than described. The
Frenchman quickly packed up, and as quickly made
away from a country that knew no difference between
cats and pigeons. Whether he has ever published his
thoughts upon Irish miseries, we cannot say.
A Husband out a Fishing.
One of the little resturants of Asnieres, so fre
quented when in good order during the summer months,
was, 011 one of the last Sundays of May, the theatre
of a scene which seems copied almost from one of the
Parisian vaudevilles. Asnieres is a small village on
the Seine, some ten or twelve miles from Paris, on the
road to S. Germain, and is celebrated for its fetes and
merry gatherings. It may here be stated that Orleans
is in an opposite direction from Paris. But to the
story :
M. D , a retired merchant, lately married to a
young, amiable, rich and beautiful lady, still found him
self not completely happy ; so true it is, that perfect
happiness is not found in this world. M. I) , un
der his calm and contented inien, conceived a passion,
of which woman was not the object, but which was
not on that account less honorable —a passion for fish
ing!
lie concealed it, because his wife having a horror of
it, had expressed it to him before her marriage, to
which naturally M. D , in his quality of suitor
had answered, protesting his abhorence for such exer
cise, if it is allowable to call fishing by that name.
M. D , had relied too much on bis strength
for extinguishing his aquatic passion in that more ar
dent one which led to marriage—he resisted a long
time the allurements of the tackle which chanced to
meet his eye. Finally, he one day happened to meet
ono of his old friends with whom he had often gone,
furnished with pole and line, to Asnieres.
This friend so vividly awakened his recollection, so
victoriously overcame his scruples, that the following
plan was arranged .
M. D , was to pretend ho had gone on busi
ness to Orleans, and instead, merely go to his friend's
house, from whence they would depart, fnlly armed
and equipped as of old, for Asnieres. That evening
M. D , was to sleep at his friend's house,
and return Monday morning, as though he absolutely
bad come from Orleans.
So said so done—and our two friends sat themselves
down on Sunday last on the banks of the island, near
est the bridge of Asnieres, holding majestically their
lines in the water, when all of a sudden, M. D ,
casting a glance-on the opposite bank, uttered an ex
clamation and his line fell from his hands, lie saw his
ivileon the arm of a gentleman, promenading. His
friend bitting Ins lips, feigned not to recognize Madame
D , but the husband had no doubt of it, and the
passion for fishing, which an instant ago had been up
permost, now changed immediately into one for his
wife.
To his friend’s great displeasure, he went to seek a
boat to cross the Seine. When they touched the shore,
Madame 1) , and the gentleman who accom
panied her, entered the little restaurant of which we
made mention, and had ordered refreshments, in a lit
tle room fronting on the water. M. D made a
sign, and in a state of agitation which those experienc
ed even in love of fishing can appreciate, presented him
self, suddenly followed by his friend, in the room in
question. Commenced by exclaiming loudly and no
one knows what length he would have proceeded if a
word from his wife had not pacified him.
‘My dear husband, let me introduce my brother,
wlio arrived yesterday from England, and whom you
haVe not met. And now will you be kind enough to
inform me when Asnieres changed its name to Or
leans ?’
One may imagine Mr. D‘s confusion, inas
much as the scene had drawn it number of witnesses.
But after the first minute, he took the thing pleasantly,
related every thing himself, confessed his fault, finding
himself very happy since his wife had not, like him,
been out a lis hing.

A Humble Home.—Are you not surprised
to find how independent of money peace ofcon
science is, and how much happiness can he
condensed into the humblest home? A cottage
will not hold the bulky furniture and sump

be there, a cottage will hold as much happiness
us might stock a palace.—Rev. James Hamil

Pleasant Words. —llow, very gratifying
are pleasant words to all ; the rich, the poor,
the high the low, all classes enjoy pleasant
words. They cost nothing, they are free, all
have the privilege of using them; hut alas!
too few use them; some are almost strangers
to them. In the words of the wise tnan,“ Pleas
ant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the
soul, and health to the hones.” Yes as honey
is sweet to the taste, so pleasant words are
sweet and cheering to the heart. Pleasant
words are full of kindness, no bitterness in
them, they truly savor of things that are good.
Ye that are morose and gloomy, try their influ
ence; if you feel despondingly, try, oh try
to speak pleasantly to all around, you will find
they are indeed “ health to the soul ;” your own
soul will be cheered and softened by them.
‘ l'he words of the wise are pleasant words.’

I can conceive a living man without an arm

When weak arguments are aduced to sus
tain a good cause, and are refuted, it is a com

one upon the opposite side of the question.
Miss Hayes and Her Company.—Mrs. S. C. Hall
has written a letter to the Literary World, in which
sbo speaks in the highest terms of praise of Catharine
Hayes, both as a singer and a lady. Os her early days
she says:
“ It was fortunate for her that her ‘wood-notes wild’
attracted the attention of that kind hearted and gener
ous man, tho late lion, and Right Rev. Edmund
Knox, Bishop of Limerick—Limerick is the city of her
birth. There is a legend that while boating with some
of his family on tho Shannon, their attention was at
tracted by the young and delicious voice of a young girl
singing near one of ffie houses whoso garden have the
good fortune to stretch along the banks of that magnifi
cent river.
“ ‘lt’s only that bird of a child,’ said one of tho boat
men, ‘whose aunt, or someone belonging to her, lives
in the Earl’s house ; and little Kitty, the darling, gets
out of the noise of Patrick street, and away from her
companions, down yonder among trees, and sings her
songs, God bless her ! to the waters. She sung before
she could speak, but she’s as shy as a young hare, and
the voice leaves her when she’s asked to sing. Whist!
listen to how she quivers in the ‘Lass of Gowrie ;’ and
sure, my Lord, if you axed her to doit, she wouldn’t
—it isn’t, you understand, that she wouldn’t —only-
shyness takes the strength out of her voice ; tho only
pleasure the little delicate eraytur seems to have in life is
with her book and her songs, and it’s just like being in
heaven to hear how she sings in the moonlight.’
*’A triumphant shake, with which the young Cath
arine concluded, ‘And now she's lady Gowrie,’still
more astonished and delighted the boating party, prov
ed that poor Paddy’s eulogy was deserved, and better
than all, determined the good bishop to learn more of
the Shannon.”
Miss Hayes will leave England, accompanied by her
mother, about the second week in August, under the
conduct of Dr. Joy, who has been selected by Mr.
Beale to manage the American tour. Tho company
consist of Lavenu, as conductor; Herr Mcngis, baritone;
Augustus Braliam, teir. (am) ad -lieious tenor he is—

Female Loquacity.- -Jean Paul says that
a lady officer, if she wanted to give the word
‘‘halt,” to her troops, would do it. somewhat af
ter this wise; “You soldiers all of you, now
mind l order you as soon as I have finished
speaking to stand still, every one ofyou, on the
spot where you happen to be/don’t you hear
me ? halt, I say, all of you !”

Sacral Scenes anil Characters. —liy Rev. J. T. Headley.—
Tliis work may very properly be considered a companion to
“Sacred Mountains,” by the some author. Its object is to il
lustrate and “render more life-like” the sacred writings. It
is not tlie author’s design to supercede the llible. But his
wish is to excite a solicitude to obtain, and to become intimate
ly acquainted and perfectly familiar with its history, doctrines
and laws ; to Know its truth, to imbibe its spirit, feel its pow
er, and partake of its salvation ; in a word, to prize in some
measure, ns it deserves, this treasure which is indeed beyond
price. We predict for it a circulation far beyond any of the
author’s former works.— JVcics , Jan. 7th.
Sacral Scenes and Characters. — By the Rev. J. T. Headley,
author of the “.Sacred Mountains,” Ac. This work will add
gr. atiy to the reputation of the author. In literary merit it
more than equals his “Sacred Mountains.” Mr lleadley ex
cels in his glowing style anil vivid descriptions. His works
are a rich treasury of all the sublimity of thought, moving ten
derness of passion, and vigorousstrength ofexpression, which
are to be found in all the language* by which mortals declare
their minds.— Daily Globe, Jan. sth.
Hambies and Sketches. —By Rev. J. T. Headley. We have
not for a long time sat down to a book with more pleasing an
ticipations, or found those anticipations more fully realized,
than in the perumial of the work before us, and we know it
will be hailed witli gratification by the many admirers of the
talented author. His ‘-Napoleon aud his Marshals” was per
haps, as popular, and found at least as many enthusiastic rea
ders as any book Unit can be mentioned. We thing the Ram
bles and Sketches are destined to be as popular at least as
any of his previously published works. There is not a dull
chapter in the work, filled as it is with “an indefinite variety.”
The author lias ample room and verge enough for the employ
ment of his fine talents to great advantage, and most success
fully has he recomplishcd the task. The biographical sketch
of the author is interesting and “well considered,” and adds
much to the value of the book, which is got up in a very neat
and attractive style by the publishers.— Portland Transcript ,
Dec. 15.
Mr. Headley is one of the most promising writers of this
country, and we have here one of bis best books —one on
which he can safely rest his fame. It possesses the unfat.ig
uing charms of perfect simplicity and truth. There is graceful
frankness pervading the composition, which engages the in
terest of the reader in the author as well as in the subject. —
His rambles about Rome, Paris and London exhibit a thous
and lively traitsoi an ingenuous nature, upon which a man of
taste will delight to linger. We predic t for this a sale equal to
that of any of the author’s works.—JY*. Y. News.
The collection is one of which no author need be ashamed
It consists, indeed, of some of M r. Headley’s most brilliant and
highly-finished compositions, of those specimens of his abili
ty by which he may be judged with the greatest safety to his
fame as a word-painter and thinker.—-Y. Y. Tribune , Dec. 17,

Are there lingering Doubts
fN the minds of the people of Georgia, in regard to thesupe
rior efficacy of innocent Vegetable remedies, properly applied,

If there are, a few more facts ofa marked and remarkable char

be inappropriate.
Convulsive Fit§ Cured!
GEORGIA: ? 1 hereby certify that in the spring of 1845
Jasper County. $ m .V negro girl Charity was attacked with
convulsive fits, which continued to increase on her, notwith
standing all the efforts of some of our best Mineral Doctors
in this region. Deeming the case hopeless with them, I con
cluded to carry her to Macon and put her under the treatment
of Dr. M. 8. Thomson, who gave her medicine some two or
three months, which stopped them for about 18 months, at
which time they returned with increased violence, so severe,
indeed, that I and an eminent physician in the neighborhood de
spaired of her life. Under these circumstances the Doctor a
gain advised me to call on Dr. Thomson, which 1 did and ob
tained a portion of medicine, which, I am pleased to be able to
say entirely cured her. The last she had continued from some
7 to 9 hours or more and was very severe, but they have not
recurred since, a period of over three years.
Given under my hand and seal, this 21st November 1850.

Fits cured without seeing the Patient!!
Jones Cos. Ga. 7th Feb. 1851.
This may certify that my negro woman Martha, (now be
longing to Ferdinand Finney,) was severely attacked with Ep
ilepsy, or convulsive fits in 1847, which continued to return
every week or two, and sometimes continued on her for a
week at a time, during which she would have as many as for
ty or fifty on a stretch, before stopping. Intliis state she con
tinued for a whole year, notwithstanding all Dr. Ridley of
Hillsboro, could do. Despairing at lastof his success, and
hearing of the unpraiclled cures effected by Dr. M. 8. Thom
son of Macon, 1 concluded to call on him, which I did, and
gave him her symptoms when he prepared and gave me med
icine, which in about two months entirely cured her, as she
has had none since and is now perfecly healthy, thus adding
another to the many cures the Doctor lias effected without
seeing the patient.

Syphilis, Rheumatism & Liver Complaint
Cured without seeing the Patient!
Jones Cos. Ga. 21st. Sept. 1850.
Dr. .If. 4?. Thomson —Dear Sir: Your success has been
such in curing my son of Rheumatism and my negro woman
of liver disease, Rheumatism, Syphilis ice. that 1 cannot re
frain from giving you the credit that is due you, for your
skill, and if you think that a statement/)/ the cases w ill be
any use in directing other sufferers, to Vhe proper remedies,
the following rel .tion of facts is at your disposal.
Some 14 years ago, my negro woman Rhody was tak.in in
a lingering way, supposed to, he caused from Syphilis, treated
by herself, which on discovering, 1 put her under the care
of several mineral physicians, l>rs. i.itrfe aud White of Mil
lerlgeville, especially, who after mercurializing her a year or
so. left her worse than they found her, laboring in addition
under Mercurial Rheumatism.
I then applied to Dr. Woodruff, who treated, and I thought
cured her, but after a while, she became worse again, so
much so that I despaired of relieving her. Under these cir
cumstances 1 applied to you, and 1 am pleased to be able to
report, that notwithstanding it is a long time ago, she has had
no return of her disease since, but is now doing me very good
service.
The case of my son was one of Mercurial Rhematism ari
sing from salivation for a fever. After keeping lingering for
three or four years, and getting worse all the time, till his
limbs were drawn and stiffened very much; notwithstanding
all that we could do, he continued thus, till we applied to you
when you soon relieved him,and! am happy to he able to re
port that consider him relieved cured, and lias been so twelve
months.
In conclusion, dear sir, go on and prosper, you may have ene.
mies, as who that is any account has not, but success in curing
such desperate cases must hear you up, and. that your success
may he commensurate with your merits is the earnest \\ ish of
yours truly, GILLIS WRIGHT.
The undersigned continues his treatment of all manner of
chronic forms of disease, through the mail, tlie facilities of
which have been much enhanced since the introduction of
Hie cheap postage system, which will be greatly increased by
the recent Act of Congress.
The afflicted, no matter ,where they reside, by sending a
statement of the symptoms of their cases in writing, may
have Medicines to suit them compounded and sent, and might
count upon receiving it with the same certainty that they
would a letter. That they can b cured withont a personal
interview and examination, isstrange, hut that liundredsare
thus cured, is no more strange than true.
In order that all, the poor as well as the rich, may enjoy the
benefits resulting from his treatment, the subscriber puts his
terms at the low rate of five dollars monthly,cash or good re
ference, to all those who are able to pay, and freely and grat
uitously to those who are not, provided they pay their postage.
His Infirmary is open for the reception of Negroes; and for
other cases requiring his personal attention, City accommoda
tions are ample.
He still continues the treatment of acute cases, in town or
in the immediate surrounding country, hut cannot leave the
city to go long distances except in cases of most urgent neces
sity. Heing possessed of some of the latest improvements in
surgieal apparatus, he is prepared to treat fractures,disloca
tions, &c. in a manner superior to the plans usually adopt
ed and calculated to succeed in many instances when these
would inevitably fail.

FBYIIHSE PLASTERS possess the advantage of
being put up in air-light boxes—lienee they
retain their lull virtues in all climates.
Have you friends going to California?
Bv all means advise them to take along a supply
ol this plaster, it may save them hundreds of dol
lars, if not their lives, as the exposures which they
have to endure in the mines is sure to bringon dis
ease, which might be easily cured by the use ol
this celebrated plaster, for the want of which ma
ny have been obliged to quit their labors and fall
into the hands of the pysicians, who, by I heir ex
travagantly high charges, soon take away the hard
earnings of the bravest laboring man. By sleeping
in tents or on the ground, Rheumatism, Spinal Dis
ease, Stiff Joints, Lame Back or side, and all like
disesses, are sure to trouble them, and many times
entirely lay them up, when the simple application
of thi--plaster would give them immediate relief,
and enable them to proceed with their labors with
out delay.
It has been very beneficial in cases of weakness,
such as Pain and Weakness in the stomach, weak
Limbs, Affections of the Spine, Female Weakness,
&c. No female, subject to pain and weakness in
the back or side, should be without it. Married
ladies, in delicate situations, find great relief from
constantly wearing this Plaster.
The application of the Plaster between the shoul
ders has been found a certain remedy for Colds,
Coughs, Phthisic, and Lung Affections, in their
primary slages. It destroys inflammation by perspi
ration.
.1 Voice from Georgia.
Rend the following testimony from a Physician.
Gentlemen:— Your Hebrew Plaster has cured
me of pains of which I have suffered for twelve
years past. During this period I labored under an
atHiotion of my loins and side, and tried many re
medies that my own medical experience suggested,
but without obtaining relief. At. length 1 used your
Plaster, and am now by its good effects entirely
cured, I will recommend the Jew David or He
brew Plaster to all who are suffering from contrac
tion of the muscles, or permanent pains in the side
or back.
The ppople of Georgia have but to become ac
quainted with its virtues when they will resort to
its use. Yours, truly,

Messrs. Scovil & Mead: I leave been troubled
with the chronic rheumatism for the last twelve
years. On the Ist of July, 1849, 1 was so bad that
I could not turn myself in bed, and the pain so se
vere that I had not slept a wink for six days. At
this time my attending physician prescribed the
‘Hebrew Plasters,’ and it acted like a charm; the
pain left me, and I slept more than half of the night,
and in three days 1 was able to rideout. 1 consid
er the ‘Hebrew Plaster,’ the best remedy for all
sorts of pains now in use.

CousuiuiXiou ! !
The following is from the pen of Win. IJ. Levi
son, Esq., the distinguised editor of the United
States Military and Naval Argus, under date New
York, January ii(j, 1850. What could be more con
clusive?
‘lt is seldom we permit ourselves to occupy a
space in these columns to speak in praise of any
article in the patent medicine way; that when we
see the life of tellow-creature saved bv the use o
any medicine whatever, we consider it as our
right, if not our duty, to give a simple statement of
facts, that others may, in like manner, be benefit
ted. Ibe case which has induced us to pen this
article was that o! a young iadv of our acquain
tance, who by frequent exposure to the night air.
contracted a Cold which settled on the Lungs be
fore its ravages could be stayed. ('Phis occ tired
two years ago this winter.)* Various remedies
w-ere used, but with very little effect or benefit.—
The Cough grew worse, with copious expectora
tion, and the sunken eye, and pale, hollow cheek,
told plainly that pulmonary disease was doing its
worst on her delicate frame. The family physi
cian was consulted, and although he would not ad
mit to th 2 young lady that she really bad the Con
sumption, yet he would give no encouragement as
to a cure. At this crisis her mother was persuad
ed to make use of a bottle of Ur. Rogers’ Com
pound Syrup of Liverwort and Tar, and we are
happy to slate she was perfectly cured in less than
three months by this medicine alone, after even
hope was destroyed. It is useless to comment on
such a case as this, for the simple trulh will reach
where polished fiction never can. If any doubt

HpilE above preparation is put up in Laud* Bottles, and
JL offered to the public as the most highly concentrated
Medicine now in use. The success which has attended itsei
hibition in hundreds of cases has surpassed the expectations
of the proprietors, and placed it among the specifics for dis
ease. It is deemed useless to resort to tl.e usual putting re
ported to by the proprietors of patent medicines g< ne.tilly. in
ibis case, as we are determined to let the article stand or
fall npOßits own merits .VII that is necessary to insure its
success is a trial ol rise article. The following certificates
speak for themselves:
