ARE YOU SICK? ,
BEWARE OF IMITATIONS. J
ASK for HAMPTON'S VEGETABLE TINCTURE.
The many cares made by this pleasant and safe j
remedy may induce counterfeiting.
A medicine mast have merit, and great merit too, to
stand the test of public opinion. No art of puffing can
galvanize a worthless art.icle, so as to keep it up as a
good medicine, if it be not really so.
A good medicine will live, become popular, and ex- j
tend its sales year after year, in spite of opposition, j
The people readily find out its virtues, and the fame of
them passes from mouth to mouth with more rapidity
than newspapers can spread it, A living witness testi
fying to the cure a medicine has made for him, is of
far more service than any newspaper advertising.
In proof of what we say above, we refer you to

Their power Aver the above diseases is not excelled
if equalled, by any other preparation in the Uuited
States as the cures attest, in many cases after skilful

of the Liver and lesser glands, exercising the most
searching powers in weakness and affections of the

DR. MORSE S INVIGORATING CORDIAL*
A PHENOMENON IN MEDICINE
Health Restored and Life Lengthened
—BV
Dr. Morse’s Invigorating Elixir oi Cordial,
AT FJR3T the properties attributed to Professor
Morse’s Invigorating Elixir or Cordial were deem
ed fabulous. The public often deceived could not be
lieve the simple and sublime truths announced by the
discoverer. But facts, undeniable facts, attested ’ by
witnesses of the highest class and character, are now
triumphing over all doubts Incredulity is overthrown
by a mass of testimony which is perfectly irresistible,
’ The Elixir remedies, in all cases, thedeplor&ble evils
arising from a misuse or abuse of the various organs
which make up the wonderful machine called man. It
restores to full vigor every delicate functioh corrected
with that mysterious compound agency of nutter and
mind, necessary to the re-production ofhumai life.-
To persons of feeble muscular frame, or deficient in vi
tal power, it is recommended as the an'y means of
communicating that energy which is n cessary o the
proper employment of all the natural appetites, e well
as the higher mental attributes. Its beneficial Beets
are not confined to either sex or to any age. The fee
ble girl, the ailing wife, the listless, enervated ycutb.
the overworn man of business, victim of nervous j
depression, the individual suffering from general debili
ty, or from the weakness of a single organ, will find ima
mediateand permanent relief from the use of this in;
comparable renovator. To those who have predisprsb
tion to paralysis, it will prove a complete and ur fail og
safeguard against that terrible malady. There are
many, perhaps, who have so trifled with their constitv
tions, that they think themselves beyond the reach ot
medicine. Let not even these despair. The 'Flix'r
deals with disease as it exists, without reference #
causes, and will not only remove the disorder itseL
RE BUILD THE BROKEN CONSTITUTION
The derangement of the system, leading to nervous
diseases, and the forms ot nervous disease itself, are so
numerous that it would require a column to enumerate
the maladies for which this preparation is a specific. >
few, however, may be enumerated, viz neuralgia, e
dolereaux, headache, incipient paralysis, hysteria, pa)-
pitationof the heart, spinal affections, muscular debih
ty, tremors, flatujbmcy. a prickiDg sensation in the flesh
numbness, mental depression, weakness of the will, in
disposition. to move, faintness after exercise, broken
sleep and terrifying dreams, inability to remain in one
place or position, weakness of the procreative organs,
sexual incompetency, melancholy, monomania, fluor
albus, sinking at the stomach, female irregularities, a
chronic tendency to miscarriage, emaciation, and all
complaints growing out of a free indulgence of the pas
sions,and all barreuess that does not proceed from or
ganic causes, .beyond the reach of medicine.
Whenever the organs to be acted upon are free from
malformation or strictural diseases, it is averred that
MORSE’S INVIGORATING ELIXIR
will re-nlace weakness with strength, incapacity with
efficiency, irregularity with uniform and natural ac
tivity, and this not only without hazard or re-action,
but with a happy effect on the general organization.—
Bear in mind that all maladies, wherever they begin,
finish with the nervous system, and that the paraliza
tion of the nerve of motion and sensation is physical
death. Bear in mind, also, that for every kind of ner
vous disease the Elixir Cordial is the only reliable pre
paration known
CURE OF NERVOUS DISEASES
No language can convey an adequate idea of the im
mediate, and almost miraculous change which it occa
sions in the diseased, debilitated and shattered nervous
system, whether broken down by excess, weak by na
ture, or impaired by sickness—the unstrung or relaxed
organization is at once braced, re-vivified aud built up.
The mental and physical symptoms of nervous disease
vanish together under its influence. Nor is the effect
temporary, on the contrary the relief is permanent—
for the Cordial properties of the medicine reach the
constitution itself, and restores it to its normal condi
tion. LOSS OF MEMORY,

A GREAT MEDICINE FOR FEMALES.
The unparalleled effects of this great restorative, in
all complaints incident to females, mark a new era in
the annals of medicine. Thousands of stimulants have
been invented—thousands of invigorants concocted
■ all purporti gto be specified in the various diseases and
derangements, to which the delicate formation of wo
man render her liable.
EVERY WOMAN OF SENSE
who suffers from weakness, derangement, nervousness,
tremors, pains in the back, or any other disorder, whe
ther peculiar to her sex, or common in both sexes, to
give the Invigorating Cordial a trial.
MARRIED PERSONS
or others, will find this Cordial, after they have used a
bottle or two, a thorough regenerator of the system.
In all directions are to be found the happy parents ol
healthy offspring, who would not have been so but for
this extraordinary preparation. And it is equally po
; tent for the many diseases for which it is recommended.
Thousands of young men have been restored by using
it, and not in a single instance has it failed to benefit
them.
TO THE MISGUIDED.
These are some of the sad and melancholy effects
i produced by early habits of youth, viz: weakness of
the back and limbs, pains in the head, dimness of the
sight, loss of muscular power, palpitation of the heart,
dyspepsia, nervous irritability, derangement of thedi
. gestive functions, general debility, symptoms of con
sumption, Ac.
Mentally, the fearful effects on the mind are much
to be dreaded. Loss of memory, confusion of ideas,
depression of spirits, evil forebodings, aversion to so
ciety, self distrust,love of solitude, timidity, Ac., ear
some of the evilsproduced. All thus afflicted,
PERSONS OF PALE COMPLEXION,
of consumptive habits, are restored by the use of a
i bottle or two to bloom and vigor, changing the skin
from a pele, yellow, sickly color, to a beautiful florid
complexion.
BEFORE CONTEMPLATING MARRIAGE,
, should reflect that a sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial happiness,
indeed, without these, the journey through life be
comes a weary pilgrimage—the prospect hourly dark
ens the view ; the mind becomes shadowed with despair
and filled with melancholy reflection that the happi
ness of annother becomes blighted with your own
CAUTION.

AFFLICTED RRAD!
PHILADELPHIA MEDICAL HOUSE—Established 20
years ago by Dr. Kinkelin, corner of Third and
Union Streets, between Spruce and Pine, Philadelphia.
Invalids are apprised that Dr. Kinkelin confines his
practice to a particular branch of medicine, which en
gages his undivided attention. He c-amLjons the unfor
tunate against tbe abuse of mercury p thousands art;
annually mercurialized out of life. Recent affections
are promptly extinguished.
Twenty years of experience in the treatment of a
class of diseases hitherto neglected and imperfectly un
derstood, has enabl 'd Dr. Kinkelin. (author of a "work
on Self Preservation.) to prove that nine tenths of the
causes of nervous debility, local and constitutional
weakness, mental and physical suffering, are traceable
to certain habits, forming the most secret yet deadly
and fatal springs of domestic misery and premature
mortality.
Take Particular Notice. —There isan evil habit some
times indulged in by boys, in solitude, often growing
up with them to manhood, and which, if not reformed
in due time, not only begets serious oostacles to matri
monial happiness, but gives rise to a series of protract
ted, insidious, aud devastating affections. Few of those
who give way to this pernicious practice are aware of
the consequences, until they find the nervous system
shattered, feel strange and unaccountable feeliDgs, and
vague fears in the mind.
The nufortunate thus affected becomes feeble, is una
ble to labor with accustomed vigor, or tcv. apply his
mind to study ; his step is tardy and weak, he is dull,
irresolute, and engages in his sport with less energy
than usual.
If he emancipate himself before the practice has
done its worst, aud enter matrimony, his marriage is
unfruitful, aud his sense tellß him that this is caused by
his early.follies. These are considerations which should
• awaken the attention of those similarly situated,
Marriage requires the fulfilment of several condi
tions, in order that it may be really the cause of mutu
al happiness. Could the veil which covejs the origin
of domestic wretchedness bo raised, and its true source
in every instance disclosed—in how many could it be
traced to physical disqualifications aud their attendant
disappointments! Apply then while it is yet time, in
order to have your unstrung autj relaxed organization
rebraced, revivified and strengthened.
Remember, he who places himself under Dr. Kinke
lin’s treatment may religiously confide in his honor as
a gentleman, and rely upon the assurance, that the se
crets of Dr. K.’a patients will never be disclosed.
Young man—let no false modesty deter you from
mzking your case known to one who, from education
and. respectability, can certainly befriend you.
Two. many think they will conceal the secret in their
own hearts, and cure themselves. Alas! how often is
this a fatal delusion, and how many a promising young
man, who might have been an ornament to society,
has faded from the earth.
Strictures of the urethra are rapidly removed by the
application of a new therapeutical ageht, used only by
Dr. K Weakness and constitutional debility promptly
cured, and full vigor restored.
Country Invalids can have (by stating their case ex
plicitly, together with adl their symptoms, per letter,
enclosing a remittance) Dr. K.’s medicine,appropriated
accordingly.
Forwarded to any part of the United States, an i p

Anew and singularly successful remedy for tht
cure of all Bilious diseases Costiveness, Indi
gestion, Jaundice, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Fevers, !
Gout, Humors, Nervousness, Irritability, Inflamma- j
tions, Headache, Pains in the Breast, Side, Back, I
and Limbs, Female complaints, &c.,&c. Indeed, i
very few are the diseases in wliich a Purgative Medi- ;
cine is not more or less required, and much sick- .
neSs and suffering might be prevented, if a harm- i
j less but effectual Cathartic were more freely used. !
No person can feel well while a costive habit of j
body prevails ; besides it soon generates serious and j
often fatal diseases, which might have been avoided
bv the timely and judicious use of a good purgative
This is alike true of Colds, Feverish symptoms, and
Bilious derangements. They all tend to become oi !
produce the deeji seated and formidable distempers
which load the hearses all over the land. Hence a
reliable family physic is of the first importance to ;
the public health, and this Pill has been perfected ;
with consummate skill to meet that demand. An >
extensive trial of its virtues by Physicians, Proses
sors. and Patients, has shown results surpassing i
anything hitherto known of any medicine. Cures I
have been effected beyond belief, were they not sub
stantiated by persons of such exalted position and
character as to forbid the suspicion of untruth.
Among the eminent gentlemen to whom we are
allowed to refer for these facts, are
Prop. Valentine Mott, the distinguished Sur
geon of New York City.
Doer. A. A. Hayes; Practical Chemist of tht
Port of Boston, and Geologist for the State of Mas
sachusetts.
Ira L. Moore, M. D., an eminent Surgeon and
Physician, of the City of Lowell, who has long used
them in his extensive practice.
H. C. South wick. Esq., one of the first mer
chants in New York City.
C. A. Davis, M. D., Sup’t and Surgeon of th<
! United States Marine Hospital, at Chelsea, Mass.
Did space permit, we could give many hundred !
such names, from all parts where the Pills havt '
oeen used, but evidence even more convincing than
the certificates of these eminent public men if
shown in their effects upon trial.
These Pills, the result of long investigation and
study, are offered to the public as the best and
most complete which the present state of medica 1
science can afford. They are compounded not of
the drugs themselves, but of the medicinal virtues
only of Vegetable remedies, extracted by chemical
process, in a state of purity and combined togethei
in such a manner as to insure the best results. This
lystem of composition for medicines has been found
tn the Cherry Pectoral and Pills both, to produce a
more efficient remedy than had hitherto been ob
tained by any process. The reason is perfectly ob
vious. While by the old mode of composition, ev
wy medicine is burdened with more or less of acri
monious and injurious qualities; by this, each indi
vidual. virtue only that is desired for the curative
itfect is present. All the inert and obnoxious quali
ties of each substance employed are left behind, the
inrative virtues only being retained. Hence it is
?elf-evident the effect should prove as they have
noved more purely remedial, and the Pills a" surer,
nore powerful antidote to disease than any othei
medicine known to the world.
As it is frequently expedient that my medicine
ihould be taken under the counsel of an attending
Physician, and as he could not properly judge of a
emedy without knowing its composition, I have
tupplied the accurate Formula by which both mv
Pectoral and Pills are made to the whole body of
ctitioners in the United States and British Amer
Provinces. If however there should be any
who has not received them, they will be
omptly forwarded by mail to his address.
Os all the Patent Medicines that are offered, how
r ew would be taken if their composition was known !
Their life consists in their mystery. I have no
naysteries.
The composition of my preparations is laid open
to all men, and all who are competent to judge on j
the subject, freely acknowledge their conviction' <
of their intrinsic merits. The Cherry Pectoral w i i
pronounced by scientific men to be a wonderful
medicine before its effects were known. Many em
inent Physicians have declared the same thing of
tuy Pills, and even more confidently, and are will
ing to certify that their anticipations were more
than realized by their effects upon trial.
They operate by their powerful influence on the
internal viscera to purify the Wood and stimulate it
into healthy action—remove the obstructions of
the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of th«
body, restoring their irregular action to health, and
by correcting wherever they exist such derange
ments as are the first origin of disease.
Being sugar wrapped they are pleasant to take
aud being purely vegetable, no harm can arise firoir
their use in any quantity.
For minute directions, see the wrapper on th«
Box.

Office of the Fashion Line, i
T: Augusta, April 15,1854. j
HE subscriber would respectfully caH the at
tention of the Merchants throughout Georgia
j Tennessee, Alabama, and South Carolina, to the
I Savannah River, as a safe, expeditious and cheap
route for the transportation of thoir Merchandise
By comparing tho freight tariffs of this line with
those of the South Carolina, and Centra), and
Waynesboro’ Railroads, it will show a result in fa
vor of this route of from 30 to 50 per cent., gener
ally, and in some instances a greater per contage.
By this route a merchant receives qftch sMotoent " I
of his Goods together; they are not retailed to
him as they generally are by Railroads connecting
with theseaboaid, with a list of charges attached
to each package.
In addition to the present force of this line, an*
other new Boat, of light draught of water, will be
added during the coining summer. These boats
will leave Savannah after the discharge of the
New York and Philadelphia Steamships, twice or
three times a week, delivering those Goods at this
| point in FIVE DAYS.
From the present low tariff of this line a deduc
tion of 12* per cent, will be allowed on all bills
from this date. Give the river more business, and
a cheaper freight yet awaits you.
All goods from the sea board should be directed
to M A. Cohen, Savannah,
and produce from the interior to
Jno. A. Moore, Augusta,
To the manufacturing portion of Georgia, as
well as to the Cotton Merchants, and dealers gene
rally, on the line of Railroads through Georgia and
Tennessee, who ship to Savannah and Northern
markets, this route offers very favorable induce- t
ments-
To facilitate shipments, as well as to prevent er
rors, bills of lading should be forwarded to M. A.
Cohen, at Savannah, lor*all goods from seaboard.
