SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER.
f is a monthly Magazine, devoted
I. chiefly to Litkratuuk. but occasion
ally finding room alsy for articles thiv fall
within the scope ol Science ; and not pro
• ssing an entire disdain of tasteful selections,
though its matter has been, as it util con
tinue to be, in the main, original.
Party Politics, and controversial Tkeol
oerif, as far as possible, are jealously exclu
ded. They are sometimes so blended with
discussions in literature or in moral sci
ence, otherwise unobjectionable, as to gain
admittance for the sake of the more valu
able matter tn which they adhere: bu'
whenever that happens they are incidental,
only, not primary. They are dross, tolera
ted only because it cannot well be severed
from the sterling ore wherewith it is incor
porated.-
Reviews and Critical Notices, occu
py tbeirdue space in the work: ami it is the
Editor’s aim that they should have a three
fold tendency—to convey, in a condensed
form, such valuable truths or interesting in
cidents as are embodied in the works re
viewed,—to direct the readers attention to
books that deserve to be read—and to want
him against wasting time and money upon
that large number, which merit only to lie
burned. In this age of publications that by
their variety an t multitude, distract and u
verwhehnn every undiscriminating student,
impartial criticism, governed by the views
just mentioned, is one of the most inesti
mable and indispensable of auxiliaries to him
who does wish to discriminate.
Essays and Tales, h iving in view utility
or amusement, or both ; Historical sket
ches—and Remi.sisencf.s of events too min
ute for History, yet elucidating it, and
heightning its interest—may be regarded
as forming the staple of the work. And
of indigenous Poetry, enough is publish
ed—sometimes of no mean strain—to man
ifest and to cultivate the growing poetical
taste and talents of our country.
The times appear, for several reasons, to
demand such a work—and not one alone,
but manyt Tiie public mind is feverish
and irritated still, from recent political
strifes: The soft, assuasive inllucnce of Lit
eral ure is needed, to allay that fever, and
soothe that irritation. Vice and folly are
rioiiug abroad :—They should be driven by
indignant rebuke, or lashed by ridicule, in
to their fitting haunts. Ignorance lords it
over an immense proportion of our pto
pie:—Every spring should be set in motion,
to arouse the enlightened, and to increase
their number; so that the great enemy of
popular government may no longer brood,
like a portentmus cloud, over the destinies
of our country. And to accomplish all
those ends, what more powerful agent can
be employed, than a periodical on the plan
of the Messenger; if that plan be but car
ried out in practice 1
The South peculiarly requires such an
agent. In all the Union, south of Washing
ton, there arc but two Literary periodicals!
Northward of that city, there are probably
at least twenty-five or thirty ! Is this con
trast justified by the wealth, the leisure,
the native talent, or the actual literary taste
of the Southern people, compared with
those of the Northern ? No: for in wealth,
talents and taste, we may justly claim, at
least, an equality with our brethren ind a
domestic institution exclusively our own,
beyond all doubt, affords ux, if we choose,
twice the leisure for reading and writing
which they enjoy.
It was from a deep sense of this local want
that the word Southern was engrafted on
this periodical: and not with any design to
nourish local prejudices, or to'advocate sup
posed local interests. Far from any such
thought, it is the Editor's fervent wish, to
see tne North and South bound endearing
ly together, forever, in the silken bauds of
mutual kindness and affection. Far from
meditating hostility to the north, lie lias i
ready drawn, and he hopes hereafter !
draw, much of his choicest matter tlicnce
and happy indeed will he deem himse!
should his pages, by making each regi>.
know the other better contribute in any <-
sential degree to dispel the lowering ciotm
that now threaten the peace of both, a
to brighten and strengthen the sacred tie
of fraternal love.
The Southern Literary Messenger lia
now been inexistence four years—the pre
sent No commencing the fifth volume.
How far it has acted out the ideas here ut
tered, is riot for the Editor to say; he be
lieves, however, that it falls not further short
of them, than human weakness usually
makes Practice fall short of Theory.
CONDITIONS,
1. The Southern Literary Messenger is
published in monthly numbers, of 64 large
superroyal octavo pages each, on the best of
paper, anti neatly covered, at $5 a year—
payable in advance.
2. Or five nnv subscribers, by sending

tor, will receive, their copies for one year,
for that sum, or at ?4 for each.
3. The risk of loss of payments for sub
scriptions, wliich have been properly com
mitted to the mail, or to the hands of a post
master, is assumed by the editor
4. If a subscription is not directed to be
discontinued before the first number of the
next volume lias been published, it will be
taken as a continuance for another year.
Subscriptions must commence with the be
ginning of the volume, and will not be ta
ken for less than a year's publication.
5. The mutual obligations of the publish
er and subscriber, for the year, are fully in
curred as soon as the first number of the
volume is issued : and after that time, no
discontinuance of a subscription will he
permitted. Nor will a subscription be dis
continued for any earlier notice, whtie any
thing thereon remains due, unless at the
option of the Editor.

Who wants better evi-,
DENCE?—I would refer the read
ing public to the numerous voluntary letters
published recently in this paper aud in the
Good Samaritan relative to the happy and
beneficial effects of the administration of
MOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS AND PHE
NIX BITTERS.
Those who have i>erused the letters above
referred to will observe that in almost every
case they attest the fact, that no inconven
ience ol any sort atteiuis the taking of these
medicines, in ordinary cases, but that the
patient, without feeling their operation, is
universally left in a stronger aud bet tar state
of health than was experienced previous to
being afflicted with disease, and in all cases
of acute suffering, great relief is obtained
in a few hours, and a cure is generally ef
fected iu two or three days.
In cases of FEVER of every description,
md all bilious affections, it is unnecessary
for me to say aught, as I believe the LIFE
MEDICINES are now universally admitted
to be the most speedy and elfetual cure ex
tant in all diseases of that class.
The LIFE MEDICINES arc also a
most excellent relief in affections of the Li
ver and Bowels, as has been proved iu hun
dreds of cases where patients have came
forward and requosted their experience iu
taking them might be published for the ben
efit ol others. In their operation in such
cases, they restore the tone of the Stomach,
strengthen the digestive organs, and invigo
rate the general junctions ol the whole body
anil thii be< ome to both sexes (for they ar
perleclly adapted to each) an invaluable
means of peveuliug disease aud restoring
health.
In affections of the head, whether ac
companied with pain and giddiness, or mar
ked by the grievous calamity of impaired
mental energy; in palpitations of the heart,
flatulence, loss of appetite, and strength,
and he multiplied symtoms of disordered di
gestion, THE LIFE MEDICINES will
be found to possess ihe most salutary effica
<7-
Constitutions relaxed, w ak, or decayed,
in men or women, are under the immediate
influence of TilE LIFE MEDICINES.—
Old coughs, asthmas, aud consumptive ha
bits are soon relieved and speedily cured.—
Poverty of blnod. and emaciated limbs will
ere long meet the happiest change; tiie
chill watery fluid will become rich and bal
samic', and the limbs covered with flesh, firm
and healthy.
Nervous disorders of every kind, and from
whatever cause arising, fly before the ef
fects of THE LIFE MEDICINES, and
all that train of sinkings, anxieties, and tre
mours which so dreadfully affect the weak,
the sedentary, and the delicate, will in a
short time be succeeded by (,-beerful ness,
and every presage of health
For weal.ness, deficiency of natural
strength, and relaxation of the vessels, bv
too requent indulgence of the passions, 1h is
medicine is a safe, certain, aud invaluable
remedy.
Those who have long resided in hot cli
mates, and are languid and relaxed in their
whole system, may take THE LIKE ME
DICINES with the happiest effecu*; aud
persons removing to tiie Southern States or
\Ve«t Indies can notstore a more important
article of health and life.
The following cases are among the most
recent cures effected, and gratefully ac
knowledged by the persons benefited :
Case of Jacob C. Hunt, New Windsor,
Orange couu'y, N Y —A dreadful tumor
destroyed, nearly the whole of his lace, nose
and jaw. Experienced quick relief from the
use ol the Lite Medicines, and in less than
three months was entirely cured. (Case
reported, with a wood engraving in anew
pamphlet now in press.)
Case ofThosmas Pitrsell, sen’r 84 years
of age—was afflicted 18 years with a swell
ing in his legs—was ent rely cured by tak
ing 42 pills in three weeks.
Cese of John Daulton, Aberdeen, Ohio;
rheumatism five years— -is entirely cured---
has used the LIFE MEDICINES for
worms in children aud found them a sove
reign remedy.
Case of Lewis Austin, periodical sick
headache, always relieved by a small dose,
now entirely free from it.
Case of Adon Ames; cured of a inest in
veterate aud obstinate dyspepsia, aud gener
al debility.
Case of Adah Adams. \A r indsor, Ohio ;
rhnematism. gravel, liver affections, and gen
eral nervous debility, had been confined se
ven years; was raised from her bed by tak
ing one box of pills ami a bottle of bitters ;
a most extraordinary cure: she is now a
very healthy and robust woman ; attested by
her husoand Shubel Adams.
Case of Mrs. Badger, wife of Joseph Bad
ger, nearly simeiar to the above, result
the same.
Case of Goodarant, a young unmarried
woman, subject to ill health several years;
a small course ufthe Life Medicines entire
ly restoreu her; is now hale and healthy.
Case ol Miss Thomas, daughter of
Eli Thomas; coighaud symtoms of con
sumption; cured iu four weeks. Her sis
ter cured of a severe attack of inflamatory
rheumatism in one week !
Case of S. Colvin ; cured of a severe at
tack oi the scarlet (ever iu a few days by
the Life Medicines.
Case of Harriet Twogood, Salina, N. Y.
was in a very low state of health a year anti
a half; did not expect to recover. Miss T.
is now able te walk about and is rapidly re
covering bolh health an I strength.
Case of Benjamin J. Tucker; severe
case of fever and ague; cured in a very
hurt space of time. Direction followed
strictly.
Case of Amos Davis; Affection of the Li
ver; after trying doctor’s remedies in vain
for a long time, was cured by the Life Me
dicines without trouble.
Extraordinary case of Lyman Pratt, who
was afflicted with Phthisic 20 years; effect
ed a perfect cure in 24 hours"by the use of
the Life Medicines.
Thousands of persons afflicted in like
manner, have by a judicious use of MOF
FAT’S LIFE PILLS and PHENIX
BITTERS, been restored to the enjoyment
of all the comforts of life. The Bitters are
pleasant tn the taste and smell, gently as
tringe the fibres of the stomach, and give
that proper tensity which a good digestion
requires. As nothing can be better adapted
to help and nourish the constitution, so
there is nothing more generally acknowled
ged to be peculiarly efficacious in ail in
ward wastings, loss of appetite, indigestion,
depression ol'spirits, trembling or shaking of
the hands and limbs, obstinate coughs,
shortness of b.-eath, or consumptive habits.
The Life Medicines possess wonderful
efficacy in all neivous disorders weakness,
heaviness and lowness ol spirits, dimness of
sight, contused thoughts, wandering of the
mind, vapour and melancholy, and all kinds
of hysteric complaints are gradually remov
ed by their use. In sicknessof the stomach,
flatulences, or obstructions, they are safe
and powerful, and as a purifier of the blood,
they have not their equal in the world.

A certificate from three members of the
MEDIC VL PROFESSION in Germany,
in Europe.
We, tiieundersigned, practitionersof me
dicine in Geri ny are well aware that, by
our course, v nay forfeit tiie friendship of
some of the 'ulty, but not of its benevo
lent members Hio tire uninfluenced by sel
fish motives. Though we shall refrain from
an expressio of our opinion, either of the
soundness c <iUsotiiidi;ess of Dr.Jbloelicke’s
new doctrin „ we arc happy to sny that we
deem his Sanative too valuable" not to be
generally known—for what our eyes behold
and our ears hear, we must believe.
We hereby state, that when Dr. Louis
Offon Goehcke first ctuue before the German
public, as the pretended disco-erer of anew
doctrine and anew medicine, we held him in
the highest contempt, believing, and openly
pronouncing him to be abase impostor and
the prince of quacks. But, on hearing so
much said about the Sanative, against it and
foi it, we were induced, from motives of cu
riosity merely, to make trial of its reputed
virtues upon a numborof our most hopeless
patients; and we now deem it our bounden
duty (even at the expense of our self inter
est) publicly to acknowledge its efficacy in
curing not only consumption, but other fear
ful we have heretofore be
lieved to he incurable. Our contempt for
the discoverer of this medicine was at once
swallowed up in our utter astonishment at
these unexpected results; and, as amends
far our abuse of him, we do frankly confess
to the world, that we believe him a philan
thropist. who does honor to the profession,
anil to our country, which gave him birth.
The recent adoption of tnis medicine into
someof our European hospitals is a stiffi
ent guarantythat it performs all its promises.
It needed not our testimony for whe rit
is used -i is its own best witness.
