Yours, of the 5th i««t., ill behalf of the I
late Democratic Convention, informing me of !
my nomination, by that body, "for re-election to !
the office of Governor of the State of Georgia" has i
been duly recieved. I have delayed a reply, for j
two or three days, in order that I might carefully j

ating an opposition party, with like principles • . , f , , ,. ,, t

an I objects. None. If those men who appear to
so jealous of the rights of the South, w ho go so
,-j r ti- to cut off all fellowship with Northern men
of nil parties, if they < au produce a more certain
jaJ secure basis of .Southern co-operation than the
platform we tender them, let them go on. They
mu-.- succeed in appeasing their own rabid thirst
iota sectional party, but they cannot convince a
recriminating and intelligent public that the time
lias i t arrived to rely only or. the South for the
preservation of tin- Union and the Constitution.
The Great Southern Tforcuirnt in
Columliaa.
“There were three men in Muscogee,
And they were wonderous wise,
They jumped into a bramble bush
And scratched out all their ej-cs.
And when they saw their eyes were out.
With all their might and main
T1 ev jumped into another bush
To scratch them in again.”
Ti. :iixivc stanzas, from Mother Goose, probably
-s a true history of the new movement in Col-
ntbus. Three unfortunate men of that place, in
i Hr of insanity, jumped info a Know-Nothing
lodge, and scratched out all their eyes. And
when they saw they were in alliance with North-
Hit Abolitionists, and sworn brothers of Wilson,
Theodore I’arkor, and Fred Douglass, they became
alani t d. and feared they had lost the confidence
c all pood men, and in a fit of desperation, they
eillej together all the dissatisfied, the disnnion-
Tliey arc eminently suited to the circumstances by
which we are surrounded. They breathe the
right spirit. They meet, in a becoming manner,
every question that is raised hv recent political
developoments, and constitute a basis of action
upon which all sound National men, North and
South, can stand and co-operate to uphold the
Constitution. The platform is sufficiently sec
tional to protect the rights of the South and yet
sufficiently national to maintain such an organi
zation a-s is best calculated to preserve the integri
ty of the Union. It will not suit those who, es
chewing till affiliation with the sound men of the
free States, prefer to array the South, as a sectidh,
against the North. But it must commend itself to I
the adoption of all those, who, forgetting mere
party names and rising superior to mere prejudi
ces against men, are sincerely anxious for the
people of Georgia to net as a unit, upon principle.
Thus considered, it is a most happy conception:
and if the voice of patriotism and duty shall be
obeyed, the result of the pending canvass will
evidence a unanimity, in this State, which will tell,
with salutary effect, upon abolition fanaticism.
No issue is note pending which demands, as a
means of self preservation, that the people of Geor
gia should lead off in the formation of a sectional
party. Sueli a one may arise. The rejection of
the application of Kansas, as a slave State, into the
Union, may force it upon us. But in that contin
gency, the 4th. Resolution of the Georgia Conven-
ists, and the impractieables, and proposed out of i tion of 1350, proclaims the action to which we are
of all the Presidents, but Adams, and the long list
of illustrious Republicans, whose wise and patriot
ic deeds adorn the pages of American history.—
Another greviance complained of, in the Declar
ation of Independence, was the imposition of “taxes
without our consent”—“taxation without repre
sentation.” Hence the framers of the Constitution
provided that “representation and direct taxes
shall be apportioned among the several States
* * * according to their respective numbers."
It is the honor of Know Nothingism, in this age
of enlightenment, to rebuke the wisdom of our
fathers, by seeking to undermine the principle of
religious toleration, to proscribe men on account of
the accident of birth, aud reduce them to the de
gradation of serfdom, by compelling them to en
dure the burdens, without enjoying the privileges
and immunities of, the Government. This sense
less crusade—the offspring of fanaticism, aboli
tion and demagogueism—challenges the co-opera
tion of every true friend of the Constitution to de
feat and rebuke it. It is fraught with conse
quences the most dangerous; and its triumph will
be the signal for riot, blood-slied and revolution.
The fact that I did not desire to be nominated,
i but was anxious that the honor should have been
| cast upon some other, more worthy, does not di-
i minish th' 1 sincere gratitude with which it is nc-
j cepted. If elected, I shall address myself w ith
i unreserved devotion to the ad cancement of all the
interests of Georgia. Possessing, in rich profusion,
the elements of greatness, she cannot fail, under
the guidance of wise counsels, to attain to the high
est prosperity, distinction and power. If public
education be properly fostered, and her exhaust
less resources developed; if her internal improve
ments be judiciously aided and her agriculture
rescued from the improvidence which has slain
her forests and impoverished her prolific soil; if her
labor and capital be directed by an intelligence
that will elevate and reward the. worthy mechanic
and tradesman, the future that awaits her, will
triumphantly vindicate her title to the appellation
of the “Empire State of the South.” Whether in
private or public life, it will be my pleasure to
promote, to the utmost of my feeble ability, this de
sirable object; and it will be the sweetest rew ard of
this, ray highest ambition, if I may, at the end of
ray career, truthfully indulge the reflection, that I
have, in any degree, been the humble instrument
of so glorious a consummation.
Accept, gentlemen, my cordial thanks for the
friendlv terms i:i which you have communicated
the action of the Convention, and permit me to add
assurances of the high consideration and respect
with which, I have the honor to be,
Your ob’t serv’t,

The Georgia Citizen complains that the vote on

forcing the administration of Gov. Johnson, is
not given in the proceedings of the Convention.
For the information of all interested we state, that
to th. host of our knowledge and belief, just three
voted for the motion, and all the balance of the
fociention voted against it.

pledged. “Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof;” and therefore it were better to defer a
sectional organization, than to jeopard Southern
unanimity by attempting it prematurely.
In the ranks of the Northern Democracy are to
he found the only reliable friends of the South;
and thej- are many. They have faithfully adhered
to our cause, in Congress. Thej- voted for the Ne
braska Kansas bill, when every Northern Whig op
posed it. It is true, they have been defeated iu the re
cent elections in the North and West. The uni
ted cohorts of Freesoilersand Abolitionists, under
the black banner of “Know-Nothingism,” have
elected to the next Congress a controlling majority.
But, though our Northern friends have fallen before
the assassin blade of those conspirators, they
have not renounced their principles. Shall ive then
desert them in the hour of their defeat? Shall we
turn our backs upon them, because thej- have been
overcome in their struggle for us? If wc do, to the
sin of ingratitude we add the crime of political
suicide. If we stand bj- them, we can sustain them:
and with their co-operation, the South may main
tain her rights in the Union. But if we cut loose
from them, we leave them to the tender m ireies
of Know-Nothingism and place oursehes in a
hopeless minority.
That Georgia should be “one people and one
partj'.” there can be no question. But why may
not this bo accomplished upon the platform adopt
ed by the late Democratic Convention? If its
principles are sound and commend themselves to
true States Rights men and to every friend of the
Union—if they are those to which the people of
Georgia, of all parties, have pledged themselves,
in the most solemn form, then it is the part of
wisdom, patriotism and policy, that all should
unite in their support, and thus preserve our
alliance with the sound men of the North.—
Whatever course may he preferred In- some, the
great mass of the people of Georgia—Whigs and
Democrats—like those of Virginia, will unite,
and if we fail to become “one people and one par-
tv,” the fault will lie at the door of those who refuse
to co-operate with us. When it shall appear,
that onr allianc > with the true men of the North is
unavailing; when a tangible practical issue shall a-
rise, such as the rejection of Kansas, on account of a
pro-slavery Constitution; when all hope of main
taining Southern rights, honor and equality, un
der the auspices of the National Democratic party,
shall have tied, 1 shall be as prompt as the fore
most. to go into a sectional organization, in order
to redeem the pledges of the 4th Resolution of the
Georgia Platform of 1350. Upon this point, wc
..re already “one people and one partj’;” and the
Resolutions of the late Democratic Convention
invite “cordial and fraternal concert of action
among all those who concur, in sentiment, upon
those questions” which tlry involve. Let ns
then preserve intact the integrity of the National
Democratic party. It is to-daj - the oalj’ organ
ized party, in the union, worthy of respect and con
fidence.Ir has vindicated its principles and measures
of administrative and financial policy: and if faithful
to its mission, it will maintain those great princi
ples which we inscribe upon our banner in the pres
ent canvass. In its triumph, the Republic will
prosper, in its overthrow, discord, faction aud fa
naticism will achieve perpetual reign.
If those reflections need additional support, it
inaj- be found in the rise progress, and principles
of “Know-Nothingism.” Having its origin in
Massachusetts, it affords a common ground for the
union of the abolitionists and freesoilers of all par
ties. Ensconced behind the masked battery of se
crecy, it lias not only routed the friends of the
South in the free States, but it assaults some of the
most sacred provisions of the Constitution and
some of the rights most dear to freemen. The
crowning glory of the Protestant Reformation was
the right of private judgment, in matteis of reli-
gous faith and doctrine. This was a powerful ele
ment in the Revolutionary struggle, aud, when vic
tory was achieved, it was guaranteed by the very
letter of the Constitution. Our forefathers com
plained in the Declaration of Independent 1 -, that
George the Third had “endeavored to prevent the
population of these States; tor that purpose ob
structing the laws for naturalization of foreigners;
refusing to pass others to encourage their migra
tion hither, aud raising the conditions of new ap
propriations of land.” Ifcnce the framers ot the
Constitution were careful to empower Congress to.
adopt a “uniform rule of naturalization;” and
the first Congress that assembled in 1790, under
that Constitution, composed of the sages, who
achieved our independence, fixed the term of two
years residence for an alien, prior to his admission
to the rights of citizenship. In 1795, it was increas
ed to five years. In 1793, under the administration
of federal John Adams, it was increased to fourteen,
in 1302, when Jefferson and the Democracy came
into power, it was reduced to five j ears—the term
sanctioned by Washington—and has so remained
[communicated. ]
Messrs F.iiitors:—I present you for publication,
a summary of the political opinions that have
been forced upon my mind since the recent secret
organization has spread its political net to entrap
the unguarded of ail parties, and to bind them, not
until tiie illusion shall be discovered, but through
life. This strange movement lias every claim to
novelty, for I believe it is the first time in the
historv of our government, whore the principles
of any partj-have been of such doubtful justice, as
to require its members, in anj’ respect, to take an
oath of eternal secrecy. If republicanism lias so
far degenerated in “the sons of the sires of 7b,” as
to require their political action under oath, rather
than from principle, we shall soon be compelled to
abandon the idea of man’s fitness for self-govern
ment, and like the recent ephemeral French Re
public, throw ourselves into the arms of monar
chy. This position could only subject us to the
will and tyrannical treatment of imperial authority;
while for any dereliction of duty under oath, we arc
doomed to the continual punishment, of a perjured
conscience. I am much mistaken in the charac
ter of the American pcojile, if they are willing to
submit the rule of America into the hands of oath-
bound partisans. There is a maxim appended to
the catalogue of principles put forth by this new
party, that declares “America shall 1 e ruled by
Americans;” so lougasthe present constitution re
mains in force, that cannot be otherwise. But
here a very grave and serious question again
arises : what kind of Americans shall rule Ameri
ca? Shall it be l-uied bj’ those who have declared
that thej- are incapable of governing themselves,
by binding themselves under oath to a political
party, and violently warring against that portion
of the constitution which says “no religious test
shall ever he required as a qualification for anj- of
fice or public trust in the United States,” and who
further declare that they are in favor of an en
tire repeal of the naturalization law, thereby
making void that clause of the constitution which
savs “Congress shall have power to pass a
uniform naturalization la w?” No. let us rather
select such men as Washington, who sat as presi
dent of the Convention that adopted the consti
tution, or like Jefferson, who in 1302 sanction
ed a biil limiting the probationary state of foreign
ers to five years. This limit being considered
reasonable and proper. 1st, To give the emi
grant an opportunity of making bis choice be
tween our laws aud those oi his native countrj’,
prior to his taking the oath of intention to he
roine a citizen. 2d, To give evidence of his love
of moraiitv and disposition to obej’ the laws be
fore taking the oath of allegiance. It is in the
hands of suca men as these that I am willing to
risk the rule of America. Another feature of this
new party appears as strange as the order is mys
terious. A portion of those who have called
themselves Democrats, have hastily joined rhis
new thing and are zealously battling against
Democracy and the Administration of President
Pierce, llow this can be, I am at a loss to toll.
President Pierce lias nobly proven himself to be
all that was wished for or anticipated in his elec
tion. When the laws have been defied by a wick
ed mob and a worthy officer has fallen a martyr in
his devotion to duty, we hear President Pierce en
courage the friends of the fallen patriot by say
ing votir conduct is approved, the laws must be
executed. When Congress in an unguarded mo
ment had passed laws ot doubtful justice, he wise
ly interposed his veto and stayed the wrong.—
llis policy towards Spain, may have been more
temporizing than wise ; yet in this he has fully
vindicated himself against the charge of hasty
and inconsiderate action. We see him amid the
wreck of parties and the combination of political
opposition, with firmness, alike to tho constitu
tion and the country, proving himself truly Ameri
can. No thinking man can mistake the object of
this sworn partv, if he will read the American
Organ published in Washington city ; a paper
that claims to be the very embodiment of Know
Nothingism, and the exponent of its principles.
In that paper, till such constitutional men as
Pierce, Cass, Buchanan, Douglass, Morey, and
others of like character, are made the objects of
censure and scorn. 1 his proves plainly what
kind of Americans wo may expect to rule
bv this new party accidentally coming into pow
er. Every patriot who takes the constitution for
his guide,’and will not join in this npvcl crusade
against foreigners and Catholics, will be the first
victims of such success. But say “our friends
the opposition 1 'we take the constitution as it is
without any objection or reservation, declaring
that “Congress shall have no power to pass any
law respecting an establishment of religion or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof.’’ Yet they
bind themselves never to support nor allow a
Catholic to hold office in the Government. Not
because he has disqualified himself by his dis
obedience to the laws, or his opposition to Repub
licanism; but simpl v because iie chooses to wor
ship God according to the dictates of his con
science. How this doctrine can be reconciled
with the constitution and religious toleration,
none but those who have taken the mysterious
oath, and visited “Sam” in his chambers of dark
ness, can answer, llj* this new’ doctrine every
avenue to greatness asd to honor, is entirely de
barred a portion of our fellow citizens on ac
count of their religious opinions, it matters not
what the character or capacity maj’ be, the Catho
lic can never rise. He maj - have the tongue of a
Demosthenes and the patriotism of a Cato, yet he
is a Catholic, his condemnation is written. He
may have the statesmanship of a Cincinattus and
the integrity of a Fabrieius; yet the offices and
public trusts of the Government are closed against
him. He may risk hi.s life his fortune and his
sacred honor, still he is proscribed for his taith. It
is not thus that we learn republicanism from the
fathers of onr country. They required honesty
and qualification for office. This new partj’ re
quires that jou have seen “Sam.” But, it the
Catholic is to be thus condemned for bis religion,
what security is there for any religion that chances
to be in a political minority.
Some declare that the Universalist doctrine is
as bad or worse than the Catholic; others that
tiiev dread the Methodist more than both; while
others assert that tnose who bclie\ e and teach
the Baptist doctrine will certainly be damned.
In such n. state of things as this* any political in-
terferenoe with religion does not aim a blow at
ia of no avail for any party tpcall itself American,
or to claim Washington as it* father, unless the
principle is there to honor the name, for Paul
says, though I bestow all my good# to feed the
poor, and give my body to be burned, and have
not charity it prevaiieth me nothing.' This as
sumed claim to Americanism and to Washington
as a father, presents a striking instance of the an
cient Pharisees and Saducees who went to the
apostle of Baptism and demanded it at Ins hands
saying we are the children of Abraham; but as
they offered none of the principles nor practices of
that illustrious patriarch, they were stern! v re
buked and ordered to bring forth fruits, St or
suitable for repentance. 3o long as the real in
tentions of these boasting Americans remain in
obscurity, we can only judge them by their fruits.
This fruit, so far as it has matured in the North
ern .States, has the appearance of a very unsavory
and unwholesome diet- It cannot feed the true
hearted Southern American long; his political ap
petite will soon loath and detest it. S.

Mr. Editor.—I have just finished reading in the
Georgia Citizen, an article styled “Review of Mr.
Stephens’ Letter.” Before advancing far in the
perusal of it, I laid the paper down, hunted up Mr.
Noah Webster, aud placed him before me, then res
olutely resumed my task. After frequent consul
tations with him, and a good deal of hard study,
I succeeded in getting through, when to mv utter
consternation, I stumbled on the signature “Philo
Veritas” at the bottom. I tried, but could not
solve it. Old Noah did not respond te the call,
and concluding it was French. Dutch, Latin, or
something of which I knew nothing, I called upon
a know something friend, who informed me that
it indicated that the gentleman is a friend to truth.
Now, Mr. Editor, I don’t know “Plfilo Veritas,”
but presume, from his superiority in the use of
largo words, and familiarity with history, that he
is fresh from some College in these United States,
where he graduated with distinction; and though
I am from the “Piney Woods,” of ordinary preten
tions, and know nothing of scientific Greece and
pompous Rome, and very little of Smith’s Gram
mar, I most respectfully a-k to be permitted,
through your columns, to sa v a word or two, in a
friendly manner, to Philo Veritas.
Before doing so, I will state my views to you,
which may not be in unison with yours, entirely,
lint in part we stand together.
I am a Democrat, hereditarily. I am of the
opinion that a change in the naturalization laws is
necessary to the perpetuity of the Union. I think
tne present mode of electioneering a disgrace to
the country we love and am opposed to placing
so many foreigners in office, to the exclusion of
American born citizens, more worthy and reliable.
Believing the Know-Nothings a Party whose whole
object was to remove those difficulties, I have
been led to express myself in sympathy with them;
recent developments, however, have exhibited
their true colors, and I filll back upon the platform
of Deinoeiacj’, in opposition to every partj-or soci
ety savoring of Whiggery.
A line now to Mr. Philo Veritas.
You say “one of the wisest commands ever deliv
ered to tlie world, was that written in luminous
Greek letters o\ er the portals of the Temple of
D> lplios—“Know Thyself.” Friend Philo, I am
fearful you have not obeyed this command. It
should have been j’our study earlier; now, it is too
late, even if vou could learn, for if you have half
as much honest pride as egotistical vanity, a pos
session of this “prime wisdom” would be a death
knell to all your dreams of future glory You
would find youself literally a Know-Nothing.
You say also “but in giving my views of Mr.
Stephens, I ought, perhaps, to premise by saving,
and saving truly, that I really know nothing about
his principles, aims or objects, in denouncing the
Know-Nothings, precisely because lie never had
any.” Mr. Stephens never had anj’ principles,
aims or objects in denouncing the' Know-Noth
ings ! Well, Philo, if he did not, why do you hit
him such “hard licks?” You know ho is verj’
“delicate," and you say “lie is sadly deficient in
even the first principles of a common school educa
tion.” Such being his very helpless condition, 1
am trulj’ astonished that \-ou should wage war
against such a “Pigmj-.”
A little further on, j’ou say “Mr. Stephens knows
very well to whom he is writing—not to an en
lightened, but darkened community.” This, Phi
lo, comes very illy from a Southerner, thus denoun
cing your kindred and friends; it savors very
strongly of egotism, too, and causes me to fear
that in bringing you up, polite manners were never
instilled very ifocp in your heart. I must say
you are rather “impudent.”
About the conclusion, I find you say “a little
further on, he talks about the Helots of Greece as
though he was certain there were no persons in
Georgia who could not inform him that he is just
as ignorant, of them as the Paupers, about whom
he perspectivelj’ speaks.”
Well, Philo, I presume yon are one of the per
sons who can give him this information, are yon ?
You call him ignorant, even in relation to the
Paupers among us. This subject, also, I presume
you can enlighten him on ! Now, Philo, permit,
me to criticise yottr good English a little, and ask
j our defence. You speak of the “Milk of Babes,”
and these “mortal columns.”
It beats Young America to “milk babies,” and
is decidedly bad taste, at least, to speak of “mortal
columns.” I know nothing of such tilings.
I have omitted a great deal of j-ottr article, for
fear of consuming too milch ot these “mortal col
umns,’’ and only noticed you at all, because I was
struck with the “vulgar impudence,’’ the “swell-
head egotism,” and the “unparalleled absurdity”
which characterized it from begining to end.
Now, Philo, in conclusion, let mo say to j’ou,
my “Know-Nothing” friend, whenever you begin
to “feel your oats” pretty strong, and your vanity
prompts you to assert such an absurd thing as
would cause persous to think you feel j’ourself ca
pable of teaching and enlightening the mind of a
man whoso notoriety as a statesman, extends as
far and wide ns the fame of this Republic itself,
turn your sickly ej’es to the “great luminous Greek
command, “Know Thvself,” and hunt for a hiding
place. ’ “COUNTRY CHAP.”

Dr J G Gibson, &ir—I have been afflicted with Rheu-
nmtisin P<rlhe Iasi ilire or tour years, which, though
slight at first, continued to increase upon me, until it be
came exceedingly troublesome, and causing when it en
tered into the back of the bead, tiie most dreadful and an
noying pain:
It was suggested to me on one occasion, by a fiiend,
that it I desired to be cured of Rheumatism, I would must
probably find a cure for it in your powders. Though I
had but little faith in their efflcacy, 1 concluded I would
give them a fair trial 1 did so. and contrary to all ex
pectation, 1 had taken but lew of them when I ceased to
leel arn more pain, and l have been freed from all Rheu
malic symptoms up to the present.
Believing your powders invaluable, and having no
doubt of their efficacy to cure I thought it my duty to give
you this testimony m their favor
Respectfully, &c.,

Dr. J. G. Gibson, Eatonton, Ga: **•
Dear S.r— 1 cannot refrain from an expression to yon
ol the great estimate I place upon your invaluable reme
dy for Rheumatism. 1 have used it in my family with
the most satisfactory results, and would recommend it to
any person who may be nfHicttd With this most annoy',
ing disease.
I tried it on an old n^gro woman some fifty-five or six
ty years of *-ge, who has been severely afflicted for thir
ty years or more, fir aught 1 know, an! frequently she
has been rendered helpless by ilie most excruciating pom,
lax ing up from two to Ibivr weeks at a time. Anxious to
relieve her, I have tri d the most of the remedies in use
for Kht U!n-'Ui*m, but always with unsatisfactory results.
Shestdl coffiplained, and her fingers had become stiffen
ed and partially drawn together. When I heard of your
remedy, and especially of the astonishing cures it was
effecting. I determined to try it on this old woman. She
commenced taking the powders according to your direc
tions, and in a ft w days she experienced the most grati
fying results. But as her general health was feeble, and
finding her some what feverish, I determined by your ad
vice, to discontinue the powders for a f w days. As soon
ns 1 found her clear of fever 1 commenced the powders
again, and af.er taking them three dnyv astonishing to
tell, eh^said she xvas entirely clear ofjtain. And when
I enquired more particularly of her condition, she thrust
out her hands, with her fingers straight and nimble, say
ing that she had not been so clear of pain for years, “and
she felt like a right young gal.” *She ha9 not complain*
ed of Rheumatism enice, and I hope the faithful old aer-
vant may never suffer pain again.
I cheerfully bear yon this testimony, and hope that
you wdllo.>e no ii:ne in publish) g vour remedy to the
world, as a safe and certain cure for Rheumatism
Most respectfully vours,
‘ * B.F. ADAMS.
Eatonton, April 4th, 1855,.
I do hereby certify, that after suffering for thirty three
years, with the m»*t excruciating pain from Chronic
Rheumatism, and finding no permanent relief from any
ol the many prescriptions given me by different physi
c ana, I am now entirely well, not only of Rheumatism
itself, but likewise of its effects. This cure was effected
by a preparation st> led Finch's Anti - Rheumatic Pow
ders. Of ihese powders 1 took two d«»z a n, and have not
had any symptoms of my edd pains for three years. The
effect upon me was like inngic. Within three days alter
I had taken the first powder, my paius disappeared, and
1 have been entirely clear of them up to the present
time.
To all suffering from Rheumatism I do heartily recom
mend these powders; confidently believing that you
have only to give them atrial to secure a lasting cure.
Most Respectfully,
‘ JOHN LINCH.
Eatonton, April 24, 1835.
I have no hesitation in saying, that after having suf
fered tor upward of thirty years of Rheumatism in the
most dreadful form—first in my toes, then my thnrabs,
wrists and knees, am! lastly, most excruciatingly, in ray
neck, I look two or 3 d«»x**n of Lineh*a Anti-Rheumat
ic powders, and notwiibsiandin? 1 ain old and my consti
tution much shattered, I have receive! the greatest ben
efit fr»m them uniginable, my relief from suffering and
pain, 1 cannot attribute to any ihing but the powders, fir

MAT EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW
Ef ery woman should know that if she is tu poor, sickly,
iebilitated condition of health, making existence a burden
to herseff and a source of painful anxiety to her relatives
and friends, and perhaps, (horrible reflection !) entailing:
and inflicting her own maladies aud sufferings upon her
children, that it is her duty to understand why and from
W what cause her sufferings arise, that remedy and relief
may, while yet there is time, be availed of, the causes be
avoided in future, and her health restored, that she may
be fitted for the duties aDd capable of the eujoyments of
life.
Let every woman look at the emaciated form, the death
like complexion, the deep-buried, lustreless eye, the euuk-
en cheek, \he gloomy and depressed spirits, the shattered
nerves, the prostrate and helpless condition of many a
wife, mother, daughter, or sister, if not herself included,
within her own circle, whose days are days of agony, ami
ask herself, “Must this continue? Must this he? U
there no remedy? No relief? No hope?”
Tne remedy is oy knowing the causes and avoiding
them, and knowing the remedies and benefiting by them.
These are pointed out in .
THE MARRIED WOMAN’S

One hundredth Edition (500,000). ISmo., pp. 850.
[on run paper, extra binding, $1 00 ]
Every complaint to which a woman is subject, from girl
hood to womanhood, as also as wife and as mother, are fuk
ly described, with the causes, the symptoms, and also pro
per mode of treatment, in a plain, simple, but in the most
chaste language, easily understood. And thus every wo
man can discover, by comparing her own symptoms with
those described, the nature, character, and causes of her
complaint; and be spared much anxiety and suffering.
The wife about becoming & mother has often need of
Instruction and advice of the utmost importance to her
future health, in respect to which her sensitiveness for
bids consulting a medical gentleman, will find such in
struction and advice, and also explain many symptom*
which otherwise would occasion anxiety or alarm.
How many are suffering from obstructions or irregulari
ties peculiar to the female syEtem, which undermine the
health, the effects of which the/ are Ignorant, and for
which their delicacy forbids seeking medical advice ? How
many suffer from proUip*ut uteri (falling of the womb),
or from Jluor albue(weakness, debility, Ac.) ? How many
are in constant agony for many months preceding confine
ment? How many have difficult, if not dangerous deliv
eries, and slow and uncertain recoveries? Some whose
lives are hazarded during such time, will each find in Us
pages the means of prevention, amelioration and relief.
Ilow many bitter moments, how much anguish, might
have been spared to the sufferer, to her husband, to her
relatives, by the timely possession of this little volume.
It is impracticable to convey fully the various subjects
treated of, as they are of a nature strictly intended for
the married, or those contemplating marriage.
But no husband, wife or mother are excusable if they
still continue in ignorance of those physiological laws, by
the knowledge of which their own health and happiness,
as also the future well-being of their children, are secured.
“THE MARRIED WOMAN’S PRIVATE MEDICAL
COMPANION ** is a standard work of established reputa

ble popular Medical

treatment of complaints peculiar to females, in respect te
which he Is yearly consulted by thousands.
In consequence of the universal popularity of the work,
as evidenced by its extraordinary sale, various imposi

right, as well upon booksellers as upon the public; it ha*
been found necessary, therefore, to
