MILES’ COM POUND EXTRACT OF
TOMATO FILLS,
The celebrated substitute for Calomel, the original
and only genuine Tomato Pill.
TURPIN, D’ANTIGNAC k Co., Druggists, Au
gusta, having been appointed by the proprietor of
the above valuable medicine, wholesale Agents,
have just received a supply and are prepared to
furnish it at the lowest Eastern prices.
By reference to the newspapers of the past few
years, it win be seen that this is the article that
has been so much lauded by men of science.
The nostrums sold in this country, under the
name of Tomato Pills, were got up long since the
original and genuine article was discovered.
sep 2 wss
TO THE FACULTY AND HEADS OF
FAMILIES.
DR. MILES’ COMPOUND EXTRACT OF
TOMATO—a substitute for Calomel, and
does not belong to the family of quack medicines;
for the reason that tho component parts are made
known to the faculty, or any one else that may
wisli to know, by any of the agents keeping them
for sale. Since this discovery so long and anx
iously looked for, some one in almost the extreme
North has advertised a Tomato Pill, purporting to
be made from tho stalk, a thing not more absurd
than for one to offer meal from the corn stalk, to
say nothing of tho difficulty of raisingHhe Tomato
so far North.
Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the proprietor of the
Tomato Pills (proper) for the great benefits of
which, he holds himself hound, and in honor pledg
ed to prove by their use, that they are all that they
profess to he, and will do for othcis what they
have done for such as mav have used them ; as
this is a vegetable of great use, and value, it will
doubtless he valuable information to families to
know that the Yellow are just doubly as valuable
as the Red Tomato, ami produces twice as much
of the hapatine, or active principle, and when used
as a daily vegetable will he found to keep the
system in much better condition than the other
kind ; many ,will recollect with what trembling
anxiety calomel has been given to children, and
how they then wished for a substitute. It has
long been known that tiic Tomato contained ca
thartic principles, hut not until of late was it
ascertained that they contained alterative and diu
retic properties. The Faculty embrace and use
the preparation most cheerfully, for the reason that
they know what it is Were it a patent mystery,
they would he hound to reject the medicine, as they
justly do the one thousand and one cure-alls of the
day. If you wish to cleanse the system witli a
mild, sa.e anti-bilious medicine, use the Tomato
Pill, of which a supply, we learn, will soon be in
this city. We all know something about this,

ANTi-BALSAMIC GONORRIKEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
fIUIIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
“ long known, ami used with such unparrallclcd
success in tho Canadas for the last 30 yeais, ap
pears to need no panegyric. Us operation upon the
human system is sucii that it invariably acts like
a charm, for the relief and radical cure of a certain
common and disagreeable ‘dlls the flesh is heir to.”
This prize obtains its own name from the certain
success which has attended it B rough all of its
trying circumstances, namely, “five days,”—the
same success which followed it in a Northern lati
tude still obtains in a more Southern. The formula
or recipe was obtained at great expense, intrigue
and hazard by M. Chevcres, from the celebrated
Indian Chief Wabenothe, or Great Moon, whilst
he, with others was pursuing the lucrative Fur bu
siness in the North-west with the Indians. —
Wabcnoshe prized highly and use it with invariable
success throughout his two tribes. Us known and
valued virtues have already enriched to an abnost
incredible extent the children of this warlike prince,
not only by actual sale of the article itself to in
dividuals, hut by parting with copies of his receipt
at enormous prices to the Chief of every tribe of
Indians in America, with a solemn promise to the
Great Spirit, never to divulge the “art of its com
position until he sleeps with his fathers,” although
free to use it in their respective tribes, which
places it in the hands of every Indian who rely
with, 1 may say, religious confidence on its cura
ble powers.
Below is acopyol the translation as near as it can
be anglisized of the deed given by Wabcnoshe, to
M. Cheveret, when he purchased the original recipe,
and had twice assisted the Chief himself through
the tedious manipulatory process of manufacture.
Few white men would credit the length of time
which is consumed in preparingthe article for im
mediate use.
TRANSLATION.
“I, Wabcnoshe, Chief of the nations Ottowaand
Chippewa, for the love and good feeling which 1
have for my white friend M. Cheveret, (for he has
done many good things for me and my people,) 1
give to him my greatest cure for tho bad sickness
which my children hare had sent among them as
a punishment by the Groat Spirit, and hope that in
his hands it maydo much good,and make him very
rich,”

This Medicine,! warrrnt by this publication,un
der a penalty of $5,000, not to contain one parti
cle of corrosive preparation. It is purely vegeta
ble in its essences. Its first and prominent virtue
is to subdue every vestige of inflamation, and then
acts mildly and copiously as a diuretic; thereby
holding within itself, every requisite virtue, for
tho suhduction of this loathsome malady—and ev
ery regular graduate in medicine, will sustain the
assertion, thateopious diuresis and reduction of in
flation, are the only two things necessary to effect
a sound and radical cure.
The most peculiar virtue of the “Cinq Jours,”
is in this, that wherever it alone has been used to
aflect a cure, none of those tenacious and disagree -
able consequences which almost invariably results
from ( the sodden cure of Gonorrhoea, have been
known to obtain such as stricture, hernia, Immor
alis, incontinence, and a swarm of other of tho
most loathsome, perplexing, and disagreeable dis
eases, consequent upon erroneous diagnosis and
treatment of Gonorrhoea.
'i'hosc affected are requested to call and try for
themselves. If the prescriptions are well follow
ed and fail to cure, the money will in every ease be
returned.
You can do what you please and eat what you
please.

“The Crisis.”
Under this rnption tho New York Starlmsa
end interesting article respecting money
matters in that city, from which wo make tliefol
lowing extracts:
'VV'ithin a week an immense importation of
S ool ' B has taken place in this city— not one-third
ot which is for American account. Goods ore
forced into our market and sold ( at low prices for
cash, or guaranteed paper; and tho whole is spee
dily converted into specie and sent out to Eng
land. In this way it is impossible to avoid a
drain. At this moment, there is not in the Hank
■of England nine millions of dollars—that insti
tution must issue- ono pound notes or stop specie
payments. Russia, for great ulterior objects, is
, drawing the coin from England, Holland, and
other parts of Europe; and the situation of those
, countries is worse than the condition of ours, for
wo can (all lack upon our crops, which rapidly
succeed each Ollier. As a market must lie found
| lor English manufactures to keep tho operatives
| tranquil, heavy shipments are made to the United
i Elates and paid fur in coin, which is sent out of
tho country.
T ho redemption of notes in circulation by our
Hanks is easily ellccted—they can redeem every
dollar, and have a surplus, but cun they do the
same with their deposites? Hero is the difficulty.
Granting that every confidence is placed in our
hanks—that the best feelings prevail, it is reason
able to believe that large deposites are owned
, abroad, and may bo called for in coin. In the
midst of these embarrassments, another very im
portant question presents itself. What is to be
come ol our merchants and dealers—are they to
ho cut off in their facilities—is the line of dis
count to he farther reduced instead of being ad
vanced? It has been said ihnt the banks, in this
emergency, are bound to take euro of themselves
—to meet the storm in reference to their own
protection.
Wo think differently on such mutters. Hanks
arc chartered for the public good—to meet the
exigencies of trade and commerce—to extend the
credit system—to benefit the community at large,
and not to provide for stockholders, directors or
officers, who hold always a contingent interest in
the matter. Exclusive privileges can only lie
conferred on corporate bodies for great public
objects. Every application to the Legislature for
a bank charter, is based on the wants of the com
munity for more banking capital. It will never
answer, therefore, to countenance the doctrine,
“Lei /hr merchants take their chance, and let
the hunks prilled themselves,’’ their interest are
ono and the same. Wo have :?5,000 citizens in
this city engaged in trade mid commerce, or de
pendant on these great interests for the support of
their families. If the question should arise, will
you sustain your banks or your people—wo say
sustain the people, and hi the hanks take care
of themselves. If, therefore, a determination to
continue specie payments by tho banks of New
York involve an abandonment of the mercantile
interests, wo should prefer their suspending at
once. As it is, the immense difference in the
local exchanges renders it exceedingly difficult
for customers in the west and south to meet, their
engagements in this city. If, added to this diffi
culty, it is intended to curtail hanking facilities in
consequence of this suspension, merchants will
break, though banks may still pay out. Here is
the unpleasant dilemma in which banks may find
' themselves, and which must be looked to in time.
An apprehension may ho felt by banks that on
suspending they will forfeit their charters; but
the example of Pennsylvania and Maryland
shows that a liberal feeling exists even among the
opponents of hunks. We hope to sco specie pay
ments continued if merchants are not to bo sacri
ficed. It is just and proper that every effort con
sistent with tho protection of oilier great inter
ests, should be made to sustain the banks; but in
the whirlwind sweeping over the whole country
it is not desirable nor just that every thing should
be prostrated excepting the banks. And if events
call for a suspension of specie payments here as
elsewhere, how can we bo worse off than we
were in 1836-7? The hanks went on; their
charters were preserved; business was brisk.—
They were driven to resumption prematurely by
speculators in coin, and this second suspension is
the fruit of that hasty measure—but nevertheless
they went on, and merchants who were solvent
were sustained, and it cun be done again. In
Philadelphia the hanks arc discounting liberally
to merchants, while hero they cannot obtain a
dollar discount, even upon collateral security to
five times the amount of the sums required.
When the banks suspended in 1837, wo look
ed with great anxiety to the final result of that
movement. At that period, our liabilities, and
also the liabilities of every class of the commu
nity were immensely great, and at tho same time
, the means 6f payment, whether in coin or arising
out of property which could he shipped, was
comparatively limited. At the present time lia
bilities of hanks and individuals arc much reduc
| ed, and the means of payment greatly increased.
In one article alone we may safely say the condi
■ tion of the country is belter by thirty or forty
■ millions of dollars—the short crop of bread stuffs
I in 1837 in the United States, required an impor
-1 tation of nearly ten millions of dollars. At this
’ time we may safely say that the country is able
to sj/arc twenty millions of dollars worth of this
article. Wo therefore look upon a general sus
-1 pension of specie payments as no way alarming,
s without any forced action to produce a subsequent
I resumption. We believe the ordinary course of
1 trade, the balances arising from our shipments a
| brood, would, on (he first day of July next, pro
bably before, place hanks inacondition to resume
specie payments without a single effort.
If we are right in this reasoning, it may be
' well to throw out a few words of caution to those
. whose opinions an; influenced by men deeply in
i terested in the business of foreign exchanges.
; We are wholly opposed to any plan whereby a
, set of money dealers shall bu able gradually to
• exhaust the country of coin, while they are
1 preaching up the idea of the banks preserving
j their integrity and paying to tho last dollar.—
Let us take one or two examples, and it will be
\ found that the operation is the same. Suppose
f the agent of Haring A. Co. is in posses don of
, funds or securities capable of being converted in
> to cash to the extent of half a million of dollars,
‘ which he was anxious to transfer to London.
' If he waits until our banks suspend before he
[ remits, he will bo compelled to purchase coin at
probably ten per cent, premium or exchange at
20. What would be bis course? Why, he
would cry out to (he banks, " be. honest, pap to
' the last dollar.” In tho meantime Ids funds
L would be transferred, and the merchant, who is
under the necessity in the course of the fall to
make a remittance, would bo compelled to call on
! tins very agent and pay him 20 per cent, for a
; a bill of exchange, in other words. Haring At
, Co. would make £30,000 out of New York
merchants by this by this small operation. ,
Suppose another case; suppose Brown, Droth
, ers Ac Co., nr Prime, Ward & King, or any oth
er heavy bankers, arc desirous of making large
gains out of the present state of things. They
can now sell exchange at ten per cant. Suppose
tlu’y commence the operation of shipping specie
uliile the banks pay; after they have made a
shipment of a million, a new public opinion is
created—instead of saying to the banks "lie hon
est and pay out your last dollar.” the cry is—
** . ' ' m "ks have done all they can, and are now
driven to the necessity of suspending;” how much
money, wo ask, would these houses moke on
those shipments'! We arc to keep in view, that
when the present crop goes forward, our bank*
will he again placed in a condition to meet their
engagements.
Ihe packet of the I0(h is still in port—it is
said that she has been detained by the weather;
this may he so, hut we arc inclined to believe
that the 55300,000 of specie already said to be on
hoard, will lie raised to £OOO,OOO when she is un
der way. It is likely to he true that this money
is not directly from the hank.;, but is rather ex«
luiustmg the sources of supply, and the minor
channels of circulation, still the hanks will even
tually feel this loss just ns much as if it was taken
from their vaults. The consequence of a similar
operation for the three or four packets and the
Liverpool steamship which take their departure
in all the present mouth, may be well understood,
J’here is another idea worthy of consideration,
and that is (he effect of a suspension of specie
payments at this point, upon the excessive and
alarming importations not, as wo have said be
fore, made by American merchants, hut commit
ted for sale to foreign agents generally. We
would consider that if the effect of a suspension
was to arrest this uncalled for influx of foreign
merchandise, to render it too costly to make a re
turn of proceeds,///«/ a substantial benefit would
arise from the movement.
