rue District Attorney in 1827.
0 ( „ rc adcrs will find in this number, the
of Richard W. Habersham, addressed
C llt»ry Clay, then Secretary of State under
{ jihn Q** nc y ' ldams > resigning Iiis office of
District Attorney when instructed to prosecute
^ surveyor? of the Creek Innds, dated Feb-
^ v 18-8; and also the correspondence bc-
tween Matthew Hall McAllister, and Richard
Habersham, dated August, 1834, relative
Mr. McAllister’s acceptance of that office.
\ bare publication of these letters, so that the
reader may have the whole subject before him,
a triumphant defence of Mr. McAllister
Gainst the reckless slanders and inuendocs of
£ Whig presses, which are growing desper
ate with their declining fortunes.
What is the charge aga inst Mr. McAllister?
That he accepted an office under John Quincy
Adams, which had been resigned by Mr. Hab
ersham. If any criminality is inferred from
the fact of his accepting the office, which he
utter sought, from Adams, then Mr. Habersham
is not guiltless, as he held the same office under
the same President for nearly two years previous
to his resignation; and even air. Clay, whose
orthodoxy no Whig disputes,wnsntf/ia/ time
a confidential cabinet officer of Mr. Adams.
But this is not *1*° burden of the charge; it is
contained in a base inuendo, to wit: air. Haber
sham resigned his office, rather than prosecute
the land surveyors of Georgia; and subse
quently the office was tendered to and accept
ed by Mr- McAllister; and from these facts
the Whigs are endeavoring to create the im
pression that Mr. aicAHister accepted tho office
under the condition that be was to act against
his native State, inr arraigning its surveyors,
which Air. Habersham, had refused to do.—
That this insinuation is utterly without foun
dation ; nay, as false as all the hopes of tho
Whigs, and mnny of their assertions, the cor
respondence proves, as we shall see presently.
Here is an extract from the letter of Mr.
McAllister; the same charges were made when
lie was a candidate for thu Legislature in 1834,
and in this letter, written at that time, he ex
plains them, and appeals to Mr. Habersham for
the correctness of his statements.
«It is in the course of the present canvass
charged upon me, that I accepted the office of
District Attorney, with a view or under a pledge
to prosecute the surveyors of those lands lying
within our jurisdictional limits ir. the occupan
cy of the Indians. This we bo’h know to be
untrue. .The office was accepted by me, after
consultation with yourself, under the belief,
that during the interval that had elapsed since
roar resignation, circumstances had occurred
which rendered it improbable that the duty of
prosecuting the surveyors would be exacted
from your successor. You cannot fail to rec-
ollect' my declaration, that no inducement
could urge mo to prosecute the surveyors or
take the office, pledged to the performance of
such ungracious duty. Subsequent to this in
terview, a letter of acceptance was penned by
me, submitted to and revised by yourself, the
ttrms of which wo deemed such as to authorize
my instant resignation of the office, if called
on to prosecute the surveyors.”
Here we see the case stated by Mr. McAllis
ter: first, that circumstances hnd occurred since
the resignation of Mr. Habersham, which nn-
dered it improbable that the duly of prosecu
ting the surveyors would be exacted from his
successor Second, if that ungracious duty was
required of him, his “instant resignation’
icould be the consequence. And third, after
tonsuiting generally with Mr. Habersham as
to the propriety of his accepting tho office, he
wrote Ins letter of acceptance, with the above
condition, which was “revised and examined”
by Mr. Habersham. This is Mr. McAllister’s
statement. All that we want now, is to know
if Mr. Habersham will testify to its truth. If
he will, tho matter is at an end, and tho great
bugaboo of fhe Whigs will be disposed of as
quietly, as the people will dispose of them in
October. Well, here is the evidence of Mr.
Habersham, in an extract of a letter in reply
to the above.
“ You say ; that it has been charged upon
you, that you accepted th office of District At
torney with a view, or under a pledge to prose
cute the surveyors of those lands, lying within
our jurisdictional limits, in thn occupancy of the
t’ldians.’ And to enable you to refute this
charge you call upon me 'ns the friend with
whom you advised t*t that period,’ and you re,
for me to certain facts within your knowledge
os full proof that the charge is unfounded; and
you ask me to confirm tho truth of those facta.
I recollect all the circumstances which you
state in your letter, and believe that you have
stated them correctly. The conditional letter
of acceptance to which you refer, was examin
ed and revised by myself, and I have no rea
son to doubt, was scat without material altera
tion.”
Mr. Habersham,* it appears, recollects all the
dwcumslanrcs staled in Mr. McAllister’s letter,
and believes them to be stated correctly. What
has Whig ingenuity to suggest now? They
have invoked Mr. Habersham, a witness whoso
h'uth no one of any party doubts—tho whole
trial hinges on his evidence, and behold! Mr.
Habersham proves their libellous accusations
*° he falsehoods.
Tho whole of Mr. II's. letter is to be seen
1,1 another column. Wo publish it entire; and
die principal portion of it although irrelevant
inis subject, pefers to a period of partj’ histo-
that must make the blood tingle in every
"h'g cheek that has not forgotten how to blush
a ‘ its own shame.* lie speaks of “Slate intcr-
po^dion, to prevail the operation of an uncon-
i,l, alional lair," and such a law es li/s own
lion
e 't voice was raised against in tho National
Legislature in 1S42—and where arc his party
friends now? Advocating thut “unconstitu
tional law’’ ! mourning over tl.o lost batlle-
ficld of tlic father of the American swindling
system! If Mr II. had been spared to bis coun
try, would he now act with such a party 1 His
whole history spurns the idea of such apostacy.
He would, in the generosity of his nature, have
forgotten the excited feelings of1834, and been
now, like Chappell, by the side of McAllister
and those who indignantly straggle against un
just burdens heaped on his native State by par-
tfal legislation. ^
But our object has been to correct tne shame
less slanders of the Whig press in this indi
vidual case, and not to moralise on their
political reprobacy. That were a bootless
task. Yet one cannot but wonder at seeing
their effrontery. A Whig paper of this place
in speaking of Mr. Habersham’s resignation,
says, “His patriotism and State pride revolted
at the' idea of consorting with, and aiding and
counselling those whe wero openly arrayed
against his native State.” “Consorting with”
whom ? John Quincy Adams and his Secretary
of State, Henry C ny, of course. The former
is a leading member, the most prominent in the
House, of the editor’s party, and the latter its
idol! And although he now talks of the jus
tice of Georgia’s removing the Indians from
her limits, how he “drank in,” to use his own
ecstatic language at the time, tho words of the
great man, as he denounced the treaty as “con
ceived in fraud and extorted by violence," from
the eastern pertico of the court house in this
city last spring year!
"Since writing this article, we bare seen in tbe Savan
nah Georgian, the letter or Mr. McAllister to Mr. Haber
sham, which we also insert in our columns. In complete
the correspondence, although like the latter portion of the
letter of Mr. H. above referred to, it ia a recital of the pol
itics of a subsequent peiiod.
Obsequies to «Jjc Memory of Jfuctison.
Before we shall issue another number of our
paper,the day appointed fur paying appropriate
honors to the memory anu exalted virtues of
the illustrious dead, will have passed. By the
progamme which we subjoin below, it will bo
seen that Tuesday next, the loth instant, is the
day appointed by the committee of arrange
ments in this city, for delivering the eulogy on
the character and services of ExP resident Jack-
son. We hope it is not too much for us to ask
of our fellow citizens of the city and country>
of every shade of political opinion, to meet on
that day—at least as American citizens. Let
the bitterness of parly animosity and political
warfare for once be calmed. Let the crl’urs of
the deceased, if he had any, be forgotten—and
while the gratitude of millions of freemen is
rendering a heartfelt tribute to the character
and virtues of the mighty dead, and spreading
before the living generation, like moving sha
dows, images which invest his deeds with a
local reality for their example and emulation
—let there be none found among us so base,so
sacrilegious as to disturb the ashes of the hero
in the silent sanctuary in which they now repose.
Let the day be observed by our citizens in a
manner becoming themselves and the occasion.
Let the skres of our merchants, the banks>
and the usual places of business of our citizens
generally, be closed during the day.
On occasions such ns that of which we are
now speaking, it is not for the poor purpose 6^
gratifying any vain priJe that the living should
come up with offerings to the memory of the
distinguished deal. It is that they should read
much of their own destiny and duty in the elo
quence which is inspired by the example of a
well spent life.- It is that their hearts may be
awakened by a nobler enthusiasm for virtue—
that their aspirations for an honorable and ex
tended fame may be more exalted—that their
patriotism may bo touched by a purer and ho
lier flame, and that every incentive to human
virtue or human wisdom may have its full play
in forming national and individual character
among us; for surely no one has done all his
duty, if there remains one lesson calculated to
give a nobler impulsion to theso which has
not been appropriated. For ourselves, allbough
we have always dissented from the political
opinions and maxims of Mr. Clay, and other
distinguished gentlemen of the opposition^
wc have always honored them as Amer
icans.- We admire their transcendant abilities;
llicir fame and their genius arc the property of
their country and mankind, and wc are proud,
of our share in the common inheritance. And
Lhould wc survive tho day that calls them hence
from their earthly renown, wo will unifo our
humble tribute with those of our fellow citizens
in paying such honors as their virtues and ser
vices deserve at the hands of their country
men. It is in the same spirit that we invite
our fellow countrymen to come up on the 15th.
We do not ask them to join in unmeaning pa
geants, to honor the living, but to testify their
love for the virtues and memory of the dead.
Honor* to the illustrious Dead.

FOURTH OF JL’LY.
Last Friday being the -1th of July, tiint great
national holiday was celebrated by the military
and our citizens generally, in a respectful and
becoming manner. At sunrise the day was
announced by a national suluie at the court
house square. The Sunday Schools of the
different churches assembled at an early hour
at.the Presbyterian church, where an appro
priate address was delivered by the Rev. Mr.
Branham. At 10J o’clock, the Macon Volun
teers, Capt. Holmes, and tho Floyd Rifles,
Capt. Ross, assembled on Third street, where
the line of procession was formed,, and pro
ceeded from thence down Mulberry and Second
streets to tho Presbyterian Church. After at*
impressive prayerby the Rev. Mr. Stephens, the
Declaration of Independence was read by S.
M. Strong, Esq., and a chaste, ingenious, ani
mated and ably written oration delivered by
Samuel R. Blake, Esq.
But while wc say this, we must be permitted
to disapprobale most heartily some of the
views advanced by the orator. They were illy
suiteJ to this meridian, and indeed to any me
ridian south of toe federal schools of Massa
chusetts. i he time has been when such doc
trines would find little response south of Ma
son and Dixon’s line. They are unworthy of us
here in Georgia now.
After tlte address was delivered, the milita
ry returned to their respective parade grounds
and were dismissed until three o'clock, when
they assembled at the Floyd House to partake
of a dinner which had been prepared for them
by Mr. Newcomb, the excellent landlord of
that establishment. The day passed off finely,
may its return to the la'cst lime find us still and
free peofde, renewing our pledges to sustain
our glorious free con -titution and laws:—join
ing in heartfelt thanksgiving to the great ruler
of the universe, for tho national blessings we
enjoy—aiding the cause of education, and pro
moting the dissemination of useful knowledge
throughout our borders. Let our ent.-rprise
take its pathway across the world, “ovcf the
land and over the sea,” and may our people
continue to possess an abundance of the good
things of this earth with civil and religious
freedom—free as they are to-day to enjoy
“life v liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
Esto perpetua.
TIjc State Government.
Much credit is assumed by the friends of the
present Executive Magistrate, for his skilful
management of the affairs of State, especially
in matters respecting the finances.
They have not had the kindness, however,
as faras we have seen, to favor the public with
a single measure recommended by him, adopt
ed by the Legislature and carried out by him,
by which the credit of the State has been ele
vated, or its fiscal condition improved. They
have not shown that the finances of the Slate
were not sound on the day that he took the oath
of office. That he may have awarded to him
all tho credit to which he is entitled; and that
others may have the share of praise to which
thteir acts entitle them, we propose to pre
sent in a few consecutive numbers of our pa
per, n view of his administration and that
which preceded it. This can best bo done,
perhaps, by giving such a history of both, as
will be sustained by indisputable facts and au
thentic documents.
It will be remembered that for years before
the first of November, 1839, the period at
which the last Democratic administration com-
mcnced, the taxes had been reduced, and first
a part, and then tho whole, bad been given to
the counties. The.,effect of this policy was to
burden the Central Bank with the support of
Government, and also with tlic expense of ev
ery public measure which requited funds to
execute if. The amount of money which was
drawn from that institution for different objects,
we shall show in some one of our future num
bers.
Before Governor McDonald assumed the
duties of the Executive chair, the credit of the
State had Been prostrated by the protest of a
debt of $300,000 due by the Central Bank of
Georgia to the Phccuix Bank of New York
This prostration of the Slate’s credit was per
mitted by a Whig administration of the Central
Bank. The following are the remarks of Gov.
Gilmer in his last annual message to the Legis
lature (see Jour, of Senate, year 1S39, page
24,) “I must content myself with reminding
the Legislature that whilst, for several years
its appropriations have been greater than the
treasury could pay, the general annual taxes
which belong properly to the Treasury have
been given away to the counties, and of what
is still more importance to be remembered
that the credit of the State has been sacrifi
ced, and its character disgraced by the protest
in another Stale of a debt of three hundred
thousand dollars, contracted bi/ the Central
Bank under the authority of the Legislature
and which the Legislature has prevented the
Banl; from paying when due, by requiring that
its means should be applied to other purposes.
Such was the ^oiyjition of the Treasury and
the inauspicious slate of pubfic credit, when
Governor McDonald entered upon his admin
istration.
FLORIDA.
On Monday 23d ult., the first session of the
Legislature sf the new State of Florida assem-
bled at Tallahassep. The inauguration of Gov.
Moseley took place on the 25th. On Monday
the 1st inst. tho election for two U. S. Senators
took place, which resulled in the choice of Hon.
David Levy, a representative in the last Con
gress from that territory, and James D. West-
cott, Jr. The vote on joint ballot stood for
Levy, (dem.) 41; for "Westcott, (deni.) 41;
for Hernandez, (whig) 1G; for Morton, (whig)
1G. The claims of the lion. John Branch and
\V alker Anderson, Esq., both democrats, were
strenuously pressed by their friend*?, and their
nomination was only defeated by three votes,
having been for Levy and Westcott, 20—For
Branch and Anderson 17.
“ The Name of (he Democratic Nominee.—
McAllister is the candidate of the aristo
cratic “ cliques’’ that control Democracy. A
ha J name—a worse man. »V e dont think
that a Mac will do for Governor; we have
tried one, and let the ruined credit of our State
and the high taxes paid by our people, answer
for their ability and Integrity. But tho great
est objection is to the man—a greater aristo
crat never lived. lie never had a sympathetic
feeling for the people. He belongs to that
ciass in Savannah known as “ Swelled Heads,”
who. think the up-country people no better
than brutes ; and is he the man to be honored
with the Gubernatorial Chair? Why, it will
kill him to live as far in the back woods as
Mdledgeville. He never will stand these •* up
country crackers.” If you will move the State
House to Savannah, and furnish him with wines
of the different brands, he may make you a
jolly Governor, but if you put him at Milledge-
ville and give him “ bald face” to drink, he can
not stand it ; his aristocratic blood will curdle,
and lic*\vill be a dead'man in less than six
months. The city will never be reconciled to
the country, nnd hence JZfic can never stand
the people of the up- country.”
The above is from the Athens Whig. The
time has been in this State, and we trust that
the sentiment has not died out in the iand,
when such silly charges as those contained in
’the above paragraph against Mr. McAllister,
would be esteemed degrading in a political
opponent by every educated and high minded
man. They are unworthy the editor of the
Whig; they are unwoghy of our State, and
are a just reproach to the cause he advo
cates, desperate as that is. The spirit display
ed in these remarks is certainly eminently filled
for happy association with the star-gemmed
beauties of the chaste and classic pen ofBrown-
low of the Jonesborough Whig, but arc in de
cidedly bad taste, we think, in the editor of any
respectable paper of the party claiming all the
“Jeccncy and all the talent.”
But drowning men will catch at straws, and
vituperation must be usei when there is no
argument, by* a party who see the handwriting
on the wall foretelling their doom.
Texas ami H2cxico.
. We have no later accounts of importance
from these Republics. From the Picayune of
the 2J inst, we clip the following account of a
revolution in Tabasco:
By the Mexican schooner Alrevida, Capt. Sanchez, ar
rived yesterday from Campeaclty, we learn from that a
revolution broke out at Tabasco on llte 12th June which
resuited in the overthrow of the constituted authorities
and Central system.
But lew particalars have reached us. hut from a letter
received by a highly respectable commercial house here,
we learn that the garrison at Tabasco, headed by Gen.
Martinez and Cols. Montero and Bruno, declared in favor
of the Federal Government and for the authorities that fig
ured in 1804, with the exception of Santa Anna, who put
down said system at that time. They were successful in
the movement, meeting with little or no opposition. The
people remained quiet, hut the commercial community
were dissatisfied with the movement, fearful of its conse
quences aud of the losses they might sustain.
Since the above has been in type we have
received the gratifying intelligence of the pas
sage by both Houses of tho Texan Congress
of resolutions accepting tiie terms of tho
joint resolution of the United States Congress
for the annexation of that Republic. A res
olution was also passed requiring the Execu
tive to surrender all posts, navy yards, bar
racks, &c. &c M to the proper authorities of the
U. S. Government. President Jones is pledg
ed to give full and immediate effect to these acts
of Congress, so far as depends on himself, so*
that llte great event may now be regarded as
consummated, and the two Republics united
will henceforward tread the road of freedom
and greatness together. We have barely room
to-day for this announcement and to congratu
late the republican party and the country gen
erally upon the final consummation of this
great and glorious achievement.
DEiflOCRA'irac MEETING.
We have been requested to call a meeting
of the Democratic party of the city and county,
at the court house in this city on tiie first Tues
day in August, for the purpose of nominating
candidates to represent the county in the House
of Representatives in the next Legislature,
and also to nominate county officers. Let ev
ery Democrat attend.
Death of Gcu. Jolm is. Datrson,
Gen. John B. Dawson, late member of Con
gress from tho State of Louisiana, died at his
residence near St. Francisville, in that State,
on the 26th ult. In the death of Gen. Daw
son, that State has experienced a heavy ca
lamity. Ha was an able and enlightened mem
ber of Congress, a pure republican of the Jef
ferson school, a polished chivalric, and high-
minded gentleman, and his place cannot easily
be filled. Peace to his ashes.
Arrival of the Arradln.
Tlic steam packet Arcadia, Capt. Harrison
arrived at Boston on Thursday last, at 11 o’
clock, P. M., in a few hours over 13 days from
Liverpool. The news by the Arcadia is bar
ren of much general interest, The Maynooth
Grant bill, has passed into a law. ^The Irish
Colleges’ bill will most probably pass the
House ot Commons. Trade in all its depart
ments is represented as in a most flourishing
condition throughout the United Kingdom. In
the early part of June the Cotton Market ex
perienced, a decided, but it has turned out to
be only a momentary check’ upon tlic arrival
at Liverpool of the last Boston steamer. But
it rallied again after a few days of quietness,
to former quotation s.
Steamboat Explosion and Loss of Life
The steamboat Marquette, of Mobile, as she
was backing out from the wharf on New Levee,
at New Orleans, on the J -t inst., burst her
boilers with a most terrific explosion, causing
tho death of. several of the passengers and
hands on board. Among the former were a
number of ladies from Mobile.
To our Exchanges*
Many papers are received at Ibis ofiicc, a
copv of each directed to the “Telegraph,” the
“Democrat,” and the “Republic.” As the new
postage law has gone into effect, and as we are
responsible for the postage of several copio
of the same exchange, they ail being put in
the Telegraph box at the Post Office, we re
quest that in future one copy of each paper
only be directed to “The Telgraph,” the other
papers having ceased to be published.

S. ROGERS’
Houston Co., July 4th, 1845.
Messrs Kellt, Fudge, & Rogers:
tiei.t: Your note of the 1st inst. has tjeen received, in
which you inform rue, that at a meeting ol the Democratic
party of Houston county, held m Perry on that day. I had
been nominated one of the candidates, for the representa
tive branch of the ensuing Legislature. This honor, gen
tlemen. was unexpected, and I assure you wholly unsolicited
on my part. I had not suffered myself to hope that the
Demoeraticf party of Houston county, numbering in its ranks
so many men ’-good and true,” would have selected me,
(comparatively a stranger) to have been one of its standard
bearers in the approaching canvass. Having so recently re
tired from a heated and excited campaign of two years in
Bibb county, I hnd hoped that my frieuds in this county,-
would hue (Vtmilted me to return to a private’s rank,
where I have ever been, and am still willing to do battle
for the advancement of tliecnuseof Democracy.
This nomination, gentlemen, 1 assure you hns placed me
truly in a very delicate and unenviable position. If I re
fuse the nomination. I risk incurring the displeasure of ma
ny of my best political friends, perhaps of tl.o whole party in
the county, (if, as you inform me my nomination was unani
mous) and it may be I shall be charged with selfishness, and
treating with great disrespect the wishes and feelings of
those nominating me. On the other hand, should I aeceptl
should not only be acting contrary to the advice, but para
lyze the friendship, and hazard the respect and good opin
ion of many, very many of my personal friends and rela
tives, by whose counsels I have ever found it a part of wis
dom to be guided, and to whose aid and influence I owe
much c try mnefi of my success in life; again, I have never
known a man’s private interests advanced by withdrawing
‘from them his attention and energies, and applying them to
promote public and party interests. Years of arduous toil,
frequently are necessary to repair the breach made in a
man’s private fortunes by one year’s injudicious intermed
dling with politics. Tiie truth of this l have lelt forcibly,
and am fully satisfied that in my short public and political
career I have been injured more than my country has been
benefited. The maxim. ;tbat “ a man should sacrifice all
for party and country," does well in theory but cannot hold
good in practice.
Here gentlemen are substantial reasons in either view of
thfl Case, urging me to act. Letme decide as I may, I fear
I snail not come ofl’unscathcd, and uncensured. Iiut, when
domestic relations, and considerationsoff duties to home and
relatives are brought in contact with those of party, I must
permit the former to take precedence of the latter, i,
therefore, after returning, through you, to the Democratic
party of Houston county my heartfelt gratitude for the hon
or intended me. most respectfully decline the nomination.
I trust I shall not be charged with embarrassing the ac
tion of the party, by not acceding to their wish, and suffer
my name to be placed before the people as their candidate.
To all who have approached me upon the subject, I have
been invariably explicit and prompt in rejecting all solicita
tions; and after giving my reasons for this course, X have as
invariably informed them that the sacrifice asked of me was
too great, and that I could not at this time, under the most
favorable circumstances; accept a nomination. I shall not
be an idle spectator in the approaching election, but shall
contribute as “liberally as my abilities will permit” to the
success cf the Democratic candidates, whomsoever they
may be.
I remain gentlemen with great respect,
Your obedient servant,
TIMOTHY M. FURLOAV.

XR^^ILL be much felt and appreciated by the afflicted,
V V when they become aware that they can, notwithstan
ding they may live in the remotest corner of the l uion, pro
cure the advice and medical assistance of any of the most
eminent and experienced physicians in the country, with the
tgreatest certainty, and at a very trilling cost; and doubtless
he favorable oppoitunity will not be thrown away by ma
ny whose cases have for years baffled the utmost skill of
most of the physicians in their resp-’etive neighborhoods,
but will avail themselves of means thus plated within their
reach, which fcicnlijic research may have elucidated, and
on which successful application has already stamped appro-
val. .
Without subjecting himself to the charge of egotism, the
undersigned may he permitted with flue deleteoce to the abil
ities ol others, to say that when n proper opportunity has
existed of testing the efficiency of his improved svstem ok
Botanic Medicine, the beneficial results have generally
exceetfed his most sanguine expectations; and although in
ike nature of things cases must occur, that are beyond the
reach of medicine^ yet he doubts not that Bofaiite temedies
properly selected and applied tciU certainty cure all Cura
blc cases.
But least peradveutnre some cf our medical savans in a
paioxysm of disinterested kirdness and pure regard for the
welfare of the people (?) should take advantage of this state
ment and denounce it as a “trarc-faccd humbug" or “ar
rant quaelwry,” as they Lave been pleased bo classically
to style whatever is advanced relative to medicine that is
not a relic of the dark ages, bearing the stamp of the boast-
ed experience of three thousand years; it has been thought
proper to give such, a chance lo show tiie superiority of their
faith by their works; nml for that purpose the subscriber bot
only renews his former proposition for an equal comparison
of prartical re.-idu, but will now allow a ilitlerence of ten
to one in their fit cor. thus: He proposes to haid himself
truly ami firmly bound in the sum of FIVE HUNDRED DOL- j
lars to any physician using vegetable or miner*! poisons
as remedial agents; who will upon a fair showing exhibit
one real cure of any long lingering case of bodily.disease
by these agents for every ten ilialcan be thus exhibited anp
established by him through the agency of innocent vegeta
ble remedies—the whole to be effected in an equal space
of time—and tiie said physician binding himself in like man
ner to a like forfeit in case of failure—the amount to be ap
propriated for the purpose of procuring medical assistance
for the poor of tho county of Bibb,or given to some chari
table institution, at the option of the gainer.
l’ersons laboring under chronic dieascs of any kind and
wishing to have their cases treated’on this new plan, can
have it done by sending their symptoms it) writing ns cor
rectly as possible, enclosing at the same time live dollars
(83 00)nur regular monthly fee, medicines included, when
remedies suited to their various cases will lie coil::
and sent by mail to any post-office within the United States
at a very trifling expense.
