misfortunes. Who* is lie that has walked
forth at early dawn amid the stillness of the
country, but has felt a mental and physical
renovation ? He inhales the freshest air
of heaven—treads his mother earth in its
pure and healthful condition—scents the gale
breathing odours, and looks abroad over the
vast field of earth, sprinkled with the beauti
ful emblems of its maker’s love! While he
pauses upon some green hillock, to survey
surrounding loveliness, he finds himself lost in
the sweet, delicious stillness, which reigns
universal: it is not the stillness of the grave,
for that is clothed in melancholy: it is not
the stillness which precedes llie storm, lor
that foretells destruction: it is not the stillness
of grief, lor that is full of agony: but it is the
stillness of nature, which is music itself; it is
the hushed silence of a world, whose eves are
just opening from a long and sweet repose :
there is a stillness, vet every object a round, ani
mate and inanimate, seems to speak audibly!
In such an hour, and on such a spot, stands
mortal man as he should ever he, the thought
ful, fearful student of himself! For a while
he forgets the world and communes with his
own spirit; if he moves his step is timid and
noiseless; and lie startles at the sound of his
own voice! hut the music of birds, the low
ing of the herd, and the merry whistle of the
plough-boy, awaken him from bis reverie,
and he finds that he had but fallen asleep up
on the innocent lap of his mother earth, whilst
tier lullaby had charmed him from the lollies
of life. Delicious Spring, how salutary thine
influence upon the human mind! The phys
ical advantages, too, are equally delightful.
See yonder sportsman, as he spurs his fleet
charger over hill and dale, and “winds his
mellow horn’—the inspiration of the chase
flushes his cheek, an occasional glance of the
bounding deer enkindles the fire of his eye,
his blood is stirred anew, and courses with a
fresh impulse through his veins, and he re-
turns to the avocations of busy life with re
newed energies ; his step is quicker, his head
clearer, and il he be a lover of nature, his
heart is purer. All hail, then, pure, gentle*
delicious Spring! thine hand doth smooth the
wrinkled brow of care, Iby voice of sweet mu
sic doth cheer the heart, and thy presence is
the elixir of renovated life. Winter hath ab
dicated his throne, cast aside his gloomy man
tle, an l bowed his head to the beauteous
queen of flowers, as she comes dancing over
the verdant fields of the opening season.
Who has not felt, who does not feel, the
most pleasurable sensations, on leaping from
the icy arms of winter, into the luxuriant lap
of Spring! The rude blasts of December
have died away, and the soft, seductive whis
per of an April zephyr salutes the ear. As
the bird just freed from its cage, soars with a
new fledged wing to its native element, so
leaps the spirit of man at the dissolution of
winter and the birth of Spring: the grave
and solemn is exchanged for the gay and live
ly, gloom yields to sunshine, and the fire of
youth burns brightly on the altar, of age.
The lieaveo is soft and mellow—the sun hath
not yet gathered his fire and strength—the
■ - moon looks modest and pure as maiden inno
cence, and the stars, beaming mildly as the
eye of woman -when infant love attracts her
gaze, twinkle modestly but bewitchingly on
the clear, chaste curtain of night. How love
ly, how charming the season of Spring !

TO THE VOTERS OF TALBOT COUNTY.
Flli.ow Citizens : In ilcclining to yield to
your solicitations to be a candidate for the
Legislature tire present year, I feel assured
you will not ascribe it to a want of zeal in the
cause I have sup|rorted for the last twenty
years of my life. Indeed all (he political oc
currences of ‘.lie day tend more and more to
strengthen my faith, and increase my devo
tion to those glorious principles of democracy
laid down hv the apostle of liberty, and suc
cessfully practised upon and carried out hv
our late venerable Chief Magistrate} and his
patriotic successor, the present Chief Magis
trate of this nation, will sustain those princi
ples, and triumph over the combined powers
of that unholy alliance, Bank Aristocracy,
Whigisru, Abolitionism, &c. if the virtuous,
patriotic yeomanry of the country stand firm,
and maintain the republican doctrines of (heir
sires. The time has come when no half-way
men Should enter the councils of the country-
We recognize no half tv at house, but take
it for granted that those who are not for us
are against us, and We had best have no com
munion with them. We have those among
us Who are good and true, and si ch a ticket
will be offered you, as will, I trust, be accept
able to all the Democratic Republican Party*
The frequent evidences afforded me of
your confidence and friendship, fellow-citizens,
inspire me with a deep sense of gratitude, and
I shall cherish these feelings to the last day of
my life, and though n:y domestic duties and
oilier considerations urge me to abandon pub
lic. life, I shall ever be found aiding and abet
ting in the cause of our beloved country.
Your Fellow Citizen,
JAMES L. Blinks.
For the Sentinel amt Herald.-
M Essne. Eimtors : We perceive from an Editorial :
in the last Columbus Enquirer, that the Editor of that i
paper has taken tire at certain Resolutions, passed al |
a Republican Meeting lately held in Harris county, i
and without mercy or measure has hurled his thunder- 1
bolts upon all who participated in said meeting. Now i
either the Editor of the Enquirer or ourselves have ;
been exceedingly unfortunate til translating the Resolu- 1
tions in question ; for according to ortr understanding \
of them, they contain nd such charge and wi 1 admit of;
.no such construction as that placed upon them by those
,who seem to have been oll'ended by them. Hut
junce a wrong interpretation, as we think, has been gi
ven them by some, we feel it our duty, to state, so as
t'obc iindersUtod. what tros not and what ti ns the mean
ing of thegn, in the opinion of those who acted upon
We say thep that it never e Meted the blind of any
one', neither the drawer of the Resolutions, nor those
who voted for them, to make the charge, which some
have inferred, ?ga,’pst the State Rights Party cither in
Georgia or any where e sc. And w ictl the object of
•the Resolutions is once understood, no such inference,
we believe, can be drawn from them. Where is the
charge against th* State Rights Party? There is
none. They have m reference to the long established
and well known partv distinctions in Georgia. The
first Resolution, which seems to have given offence,
defines mlern whiz ism ; and where, we would ask,
has the term whiz generally obtained, awl to what
party has it been applied ? Certainly no party in Geor
gia has gene ally tv’en designated by the term whig.
ft refers then to that parly at the north every where
known and designat'd as the IVliiz Party ; and ** hich
party, if we. do no; greatly err, is such a combination as
the Resolution in question contemplates. It will be
observed also that the Resolutions have reference to
the coming Presi len’ial Election, and to the great ques
tion which must ere long come before the people. Bank
or no Bank, a question, as we think, which will decide
who arc Federalists and who Republicans.
It is well knrwn too that this Northern A\ hig
Party is already in the field and rallying its forces for
the next Presidential Campaign. a* t! that they have
two prominent candidates now before the people, upon
one of whom they will finally settle down as a fit person
to wield the sceptre of Chief Magtstr te. It is well
known toot Vat thes: candidates, Cfni/ and H’VVffr,are
in favor of what ice call Federal doctrines, a Tsuhnna’
Bank and a protective Tariff; and it is also well known
they will be the favo ite candidates of the Abolitionists,
and whatever may be their feelings towards that party,
it ii sufficient to create a tuxpicion when we see the
Fanatics almost to a man rallying around them. And
those who support the oamr candidate with them, will,
in our opinion, at least, like poor Tray, be found in bad
company.
The Bank party of this State has not as yet general
ly committed itself for any candidate for the Presiden
cy ; yet the signs of the times seem to indicate that
Clay will be their man.—He is the candidate of the
IVhi* party. Are we correct then, in supposing that
those who oppose the present Administration, are en
couraging the claims of Mr. Clay? and are we c rrecl
then, in supposing, that those who support JHr. Clay ,
would in any wav, aid and suppor whigism ? “To a
man up a tree” it would look very muen like it.
Su di was the issue contemplated by the Resolutions.
Nothing more, nor less.
The Editor of the Enquirer seems to be ignorant
of what part of the Union Party was represented in the
Harris meeting. We can perhaps give him some light
upon that subject; and would inform him that a large
and respectable portion of that party was present and
voted for the Resolutions, and saw no treason in them,
as they undersood them. They are not responsible for
the misconstructions of others. ’ And we would further
inform the Editor that “school bovs” in Harris, boys of
the old Jeffersonian school, know that a great portion of
the State Rights Party of Georgia “ ill subscribe to
the principles contained in those resolutions, not as dis
torted from their true meaning, but when taken accor
ding to their import when rightly understood. We are
not so much surprised, however, that the redoubtable
Editor, who, on a former occasion, could charge the
Harris boys with cowardice, would by this time be pre
pared to call them by other hard names, and even
brand them as “ traitors!” We know that, since the
last fall elections, the gentleman has been peculia'ly
crabbed and ‘‘awful xpiteful” towards Republicans on
a ! l sides.
But we were not a little surprised to find that a por
tion of ihe State Rights Parly <>f Harris had also so far
miscons rued our Resolutions as to give occasion for
a respect ab'c number of that party to hold a meeting at
XV hifesville, at which Resolution were passed and or
dered to be published in the Columbus Enquirer. We
think, however, that they went tort far rtut oftheir way,
in making, as we believe, an ungenerous and uncalled
for a’taek upon the “ Author*’ of the Resolutions of the
Harris Meeting. Though not a native of Georgia,
yet we know that his feelings and interests are identi
fied with those of his adopted state, and that in defence
of its institutions, he is ready to “do battle” even unto
death. We know too that his talents natural and ac
quired, are such as to entitle him to an enviable rank in
any eominitni ▼ ; and we cordially welcome him a
mong us as one capable of doing good service in a good
cause. We think that these remarks sufficient to sat
isfy all, that our Resolutions were misconstructcd and
that no offensive charge was intended to be made up
on any party or upon anv indiv'duals.
MANY REPUBLICANS.
THE TEMPLE,
■AND THE DARKNESS AFTER THE CRUCIFIXION.
Os all the labors of human wealth and
power devoted to worship, the temple within
whose courts I then stood was the most
mighty. In my after years, the years of mv
unhappy wanderings, far from the graves of
my kindred, I have seen all the most famous
shrines of the great kingdoms of idolatry.—
Constrained by cruel circumstances, and the
stili sterner cruelty of man, I have stood be
fore the altar of the Ephesian Diana, the
master piece of lonian splendor; I have stray
ed through the woods of Delphi, and been
a reluctant witness of the superb mysteries of
that chief of the oracles of imposture.—
Dragged in chains I have been forced to
join the procession around the Minerva of
Acropolis, and almost forgot mv chains in
wonder at that monument of genius which
ought to have been consecrated only to the
true God bv whom it was given. The tem
ple of the Capitoline love, the Santa Sophia of
‘he Rome of Constantine, the still more stu
pendous and costly fabric in which the third
Rome still bows before the fisherman of Gal
lilee; nil have been known to my step, that
known all things but rest; but all were dreams
and shadows to the grandeur, the dazzling
beauty, the almost unearthly glory of that
temple which once covered the “ Mount of
Vision” of the city of the Lord.
At the distance of almost two thousajsd
years, I have its image on my mind’s eye
with living and painful fullness. > I see the
court of the Genillea hireling the whole ; a
fortress of the whitest marble, with its walls
rising six hunered feet from the valley; it*
kingly entrance worthy of the fame of Solo
mon ; its innumerable and stately dwellings
for the priests and officers of the temple, and
above them, glittering like a succession of di
adems, those alabaster porticoes and collo
mdes, in which the chiefs and sages of Jeru
salem sat leaching the people, or walking,
breathing the pure air, and gazing on the
grandeur of a landscape which swept the
whole amphitheatre of the mountains. I see
rising above the stupendous boundary, the
court of the Jewish women, separated hv its
porphyry pillars and richly sculptured wall;
above this, the separated court of the men;
Still higher the court of the priests; and high
est, the crowning splendor of all, the central
temple, the place of the Sanctuary and one of
the Holy of Holies, covered with plates of
gold its roofs planted with lofty spear-heads of
gold, the most precious marbles and metals
every where (lashing hack the day, till Mount
Moriah stood firth to the eye of the stranger
approaching Jerusalem, what it had so often
been described by its hards and people, b
“ mountain of snow studded with jewels.”
The arrandeur of the worship was worthy
of this glory of architecture. Four and twen
ty thousand Levites ministered by turns —a
thousand at a time. Four thousand singers
and minslrels, with the harp, the trumpet, and
all the richest instruments of the land, whose
native genius was music, and climate and land
scape led men instinctively to delight in the
charm ofsonnd.chatinted the inspired songs of
our Warrior king, and filled up the pauses of
prayer with harmonies that transported the
spirii beyond the cares and passions of troubled
world.
I was standing before the altar of burnt of
ferings, with the Levite at niv side holding
the lamb; the cup was in my hand, and I
was ahout to pour the wine on the victim,
when I was startled by the sound of
Shortly after the veil of the porch was thrown
back, anti a figure rushed in ; it was the high
priest, hut not in the robes of ceremony,
which it was customary for him to wear in
the seasons of the greatest festivals. He was
covered in the common vesture of priesthood ;
and was anxious to use it for total conceal
ment. His face was buried in the fold of his
cloak, and he walked with blind precipitation
toward the subterranean passage which led
from the sanctuary to the cloister. But he
had scarcely reached it, when anew feeling
stopped him, and he turned to the altar where
I was standing with mute surprise. The
I cloak fell from his visage} it was pale ns
| death; habitual sternness of feature which
j rendered him a terror to the people, had col
lapsed into feebleness; while he waxed on the
fire it accidentally blazed up, and I thought I!
| saw the glistening of a tear on his cheek that
had never exhibited human emotion before.
But no time was left for question, if reverence
j had not restrained me. He suddenly grasped
| ‘he heard of the lamb, as was customary for
those who offered up an expiation for their
own sin ; his lip, ashy pale, quivered with
broken prayer; then snatching the knife from
the hand of the Levite, he plunged it into the
I animal’s throat, and with his hands covered
with blood, and with a groan that echoed i
! despair, again rushed destracted away.
; The v ictim still burned oh ihc altar, and lj
was offering up the incense, when the increa* |
| sing sound abroad told me that the deserted j
courts were filled once more. But the sounds j
j grew with an extraordinary rapidity. They l
i were soon all hut tumultuous. The sanctu- j
| arv in which I stood was almost wholly light- :
led by the lamps that burned round the
and the fitlul blaze of the altar whose firesi
; were never suffered to be extinguished. But
i when at length, unable to suppress mv alarm
| at the growing uproar, I went to the porch
I left comparatively day behind me, a gloom
sicklier than that of tempest and thicker than
that of smoke overspread the skv. The sun
j which I had seen like a fierv buckler nver
| spreading the city, was utterly gone. While
I looked, the darkness deepened, and the
blackness of night, without a star fell far and
wide upon the horizon.
***#•*
Without impediment or error, I made my
way over and among the crowds that strew
ed ihecoirtofi the Gentiles. I heard many a
prayer and many a groan; but I had no
more to do with man ; and I forced my way
steadily to the great portal. Tims far, if I
had been stricken with utter blindness, I could
not have been less guided by the eye. But on
passing into the sireets of the lower city, a
scattered torch from time to time, struggling
through the darkness, like a lamp in the sep
ulchre, gave me giiinses of the scene.
The broad avenues were encumbered with
the living in the semblance of the dead. All
was prostration, or those attitudes into which
men are thrown by terror beyond the strength
and spirit of man to resist. The cloud that
from my melancholy bed above the valley of
Hinom, I had seen rolling up the hills, was
this multitude. A spectacle whose name
shall never pass my lips, had drawn them all
by a cruei, frantic curiosity out of Jerusalem,
and left it in the solitude that Iwtd surprised
nie.—Preternatural eclipses and horror fell on
them and their thousands madly lushed back,
to perish, if perish they must, within the
Walls of the City of Holiness. Still the
, multitude came pouring in; their distant
■ trampling had the sound of a cateract: and
’ their outcries of rage, and pain, and terror,
1 were like what I have since heard, but more
. feebly, and sent up from the field of battle.
I struggled on, avoiding the living torrent
by the ear, and slowly treading my way
wherever I heard the voices least numerous;
but my task was one of extreme toil; and but
for those more than all the treasures of the
earth to me whose life depended on my
efforts, I should have willingly laid down,
and suffered the multitude to trample me into
the grave. How long I thus suffered I know
not. But a yell of peculiar and universal ter
ror that burst round me turn my reluctant
eyes toward Jerusalem. The cause of this
new alarm was seen at once. A large sphere
of fire fiercely shot through the heavens,
lighting its tract down the murkv air, and
casting a disastrous and pallid illumination
on the myriads of gazers below. It stopped
above the city, and exploded in thunder,
flashing over the whole horizon, but covering
the temple with a blaze which gave it the as
pect of a huge mass ol metal glowing in a fur
nace.
Every line of architecture, every pillar, ev
ery pinnacle, was seen with a livid and ter
rible distinctness. Again all vanished. I
heard the hollow roar of an earthquake ; the
ground rose and heaved under our feet. I
heard the crash of buildings, the fall of frag
ments of the hills, and louder than both the
groan of the multitude. I caught my wife
and child closer to my bosom. In the next
moment I felt the ground give way beneath
me, a sulphurious vapor took away my breath
and I was caught up in a whirlwind of dust
and ashes.— Salathiel.
REM ARK ABLE TRIAL.
Mr. Keene, manager of a Metropolitan
Theatre, was indicted lor the murder of Mr.
Jones, manager of a rival thealre in the same
town. It appeared there had been a violent
dispute raging between the two managers
for some time. One night Mr. K. suddenly
entered among a party of young men at a
hotel, and rubbing his hands with joy, ex
claimed, “ Well, Mr. Jones has given up the
ghost!”
Before another word was said, a man came
into the room, and announced that Mr. J. had
been murdered, just without the city. Every
eye fell upon Keene. Hard words that had
been said by him of Ihe deceased were re
membered, and the joyful manner in which
he brought the first tidings of his death. He
was arrested. It was thought the jury would
have agreed on a verdict of guilty, but for the
examination of the last witness, which put a
new gloss upon the whole affair. It was con
ducted on this wise:
Counsel for def. Do you know the prisoner
at the bar ?
Witness. Yes, sir.
Counsel. Do you know whether any dis
pute has heretofore existed between the de
fendant and ihe deceased ?
Witness. Yes.
Counsel. Can you say in what the alterca
tion originated ?
Witness. Yes. I had left the theatre under
the management of Mr. Keene, and had gone
to Mr. Jones. I acted the ghost in Hamlet.
Mr. Keene wanted me to come back to him.
I could not do it without offending Mr. Jones,
and here arose the quarrel between the two
managers. But on the day of Jones’s de
cease, he had consented to give me up, and I
saw Mr. Keene in the evening and announced
to him the fact. He was much delighted to
have carried his point, and said would hurrv
over to his companions at the hotel, and tell
them that Jones had given up his ghost, and
that peace was now restored between them.
The jury Consulted together a few moments
and pronounced defendant “not guilty.” It
was subsequently discovered that the deceased
had been killed and robbed by a highwayman
called Bob Traverse.
From the Albany Argus.
The Independent Treasury Bill, from the
Senate, it ivilT lie seen, was laid on the table in
the House, oft Tuesday, by a vote of 106 to
98.
The friends of the hill were taken hy sur
prise, whilst undoubtedly the effort was well
understood hy the opposition. The coup de
main may serve the present purpose of the
latter, and may seem to indicate an adverse
result, but we do not regard it in that light.
Notwithstanding the obvious advantages
under which the vote was carried on this oc
casion, the opposition majority was only B.—-
Transfer the vote o( Mr. Gray, which was in
the affirmative only lor the purpose of mo
ving a reconsideration, to the other side, and
add the Speaker, and the actual majority of
the members in the house was four. Besides
the above, and the four vacancies, there were !
34 absentees, of whom we are assured 22 or j
23 are the friends of the Administration and
the friends of the hill. Os these, three are
from this state, viz. Messrs. Noble, Edwards,
and Loomis, who are now on a visit to their
respective districts.
W e see nothing in this vote that affords j
ground for exultation on the part of the fede- I
ral opponents of the administration, unless it
be the temporary success of an artifice. Nor
any good reason, on the part of its friends, to
fear that the measure may not vet be carried i
through. But whence the exultation of the
old and inveterate enemies of the democracy ;
and of a democratic administration at the sup
posed prospect oftlie defeat of the bill? Can
any republican in or out of Congress, doubt
that they can count upon a party advantage
from its defeat, arid that they know that par
ty prostration will follow its success? Can it
| he doubted that they see in the adoption off
this great measure the overthrow of their i
j hopes of a National Bank, and of the control
; of the government revenues and the money ;
power of the country through its vast influ- j
| enre—that thev fear a return to a sound and
I stable course of things, and the termination ;
I of their hopes of agitation, pecuniary embnr
; rassmert and bank fluctuations? Are they!
not perfectly conscious, that this question dis-!
! posed of—settled upon the sound basis of this
bill—the prosperous days of the republic would j
i speedily return, and that federalism would he, I
shorn ofils political capital? Is it surprising, j
I therefore, that they exult at the hope ofils de- ;
1 feat; that thev strive to defeat it by every
species of artifice, and clamor and misrepre
sentation ; and that they court and applaud
; the representative, who recreant to those
’ whose suffrages gave him the power to pa!y
their will by his vote, aud’to the great inter
ests of the country, ministers to their designs •
Surely there is nothing singular in all this-
But that fatuity will be astonishing which,with
the slightest attachment to the administration,
i the C3use or the democracy, or the welfare
| and tranquility of the people, shall give to the
enemies of each a vote on this question that
shall contribute to increase such exultation
| or to swell the triumph of Federalism and the
Bank.
But whatever may be the fate in Congress
of this great measure of the administration—
the more essential, let every republican feel
assured, as it is assailed and denounced by
its enemies, and by that combination of par
tisans, under the command of such leaders as
your Webb, your Graves and your Wise—
the instruments of the Great Bank and its
moneyed ramifications —it will go the people
and will be sustained there, we venture to pre
dict, by a voice as potential as any contested
public measure has ever drawn out.
The sale of lots at tola, which took place
on the 2d insl., amounted, we understand, to
upwards of SBO,OOO. These purchases, we
are likewise informed, have been made by in
dividuals who intend improving immediately.
This for the present situation of business is
very creditable to the new town.— Floridian.

YELLOW FEVER CURED
WITH BRANDRETH’S PILLS.
MR. ARNOLD, who last August boarded with
Mrs. Ward, near the corner of Tchapitolas and
Girod streets, was attacked with Yellow Fever, and
immediately swallowed 15 Pills, and then took 10 Pills
every hour for 7 hours afterwards. During the seven
hours they appeared to produce no effect, but at the
end of that time a feeling of faintness came over him,
and he thought the last hour of his existence was at
hand. He then blamed himself for putting faith in
Brandreth’s Pills. He told his nurse if he was deliri
ous, to continue to give more, as he had begun he
made up his mind to continue them, even in the state
he was. Scarcely had he given these orders when he
raised his hand to his face, and, to use his own expres
sion, there were upon it drops of perspiration as
Large as buck shot. He found that he had bro
ken out into the most profuse perspiration. Almost
immediately the Pills began to take effect, and he de
scribes the evacuations as of the most dreadful kind,
black and putrid to suffocation. The doors and win
dows were obliged to be thrown open. He was out of
danger within 24 hours of the commencement of the
attack, and by taking 15 Pills night and morning, on
the 4th day he was out, and in 10 days entirely reco
vered.
This I (Dr. Brandreth) would guarantee would be
the case in ninety cases of 1 eliow Fever out of a hun
dred, was the above method adopted on the commence
ment.
Dr. Franklin never spoke more truly than when he
said “ a stitch in time,” &c.
Wouid the people were wise—time may convince.
All fevers are occasioned by the disordered motion
of the blood, produced by the humoral serosity harden
ing the valves of the vessels. The blood circulates
with greatly increased velocity, and is still increased
by the friction of the globules, or particles which com
pose the mass of fluids. Then it is that the excessive
heat is experienced throughout the whole system ; and
accompanied with great thirst, pains in the head, back,
kidneys, and in fact a complete prostration of all the
faculties of the mind as well as body.
Bleeding, calomel and barks are the usual remedies
employed by physicians. What is the consequence ?
Two thirds die and the other third recovers from the
fever—but—yes, mind that but—but with their htood
overcharged with the very remedies themselves which
have been swallowed to dispel the fever. These gen’ -
rally depo-dte in the cavities of the veins and arteries,
producing most horrid paius—especially in the night,
when the cured patient is warm in bed—often obliging
him to rise and apply cold water or some other cold ap
plication to ease the excessive pain, ofieniimes coughs,
most obstinate ones, dropsy, consumption, by the re
medies obstructing the lungs, and other debilitating af
fections lead the poor patient to the tomb after long and
crttel sufferings.
This may be prevented— can always be prevented,
if purgation i.s at once resorted to —and after the pa
tient is reduced ever so low there is hope—provided he
perseveres. Hundreds have been prevented from fill
ing an untimely grave by following the advice contain
ed in the following
SHORT SENTENCE:
On the first attack of fever, or any disease, immedi
ately take a large dose of
Brafutreth’s Vegetable Universal Pills ,
And continue to keep up a powerful effect on the
bowels until the fever or pain has entirely ceased.
I •ZT? These Pills are an assistant or nature,
and afford perfect r lief whenever any organs of the
body are unhealthy, restoring health and strength by
removing accumulated impurities—otherwise, in simple
language, yitiated humors. This is following 1 ature—
this Staking disease out of the body—and no other
way can cure disease but taking it out. It must be
carried away from the body, not merely changed, as is
the case when blue pill or calomel is given, or any of
thp numerous mineral medicines. It is hr consequence
of the perspiration which arises from the Thompsonian
practice that has brought it into notice—hut sweating
is nothing, ompared to purging with Brandreth’s Pills,
in the good effects on the body. One dose of 10 Pills
will remove more bad humors, by the stomach and
bowels, than a dozen vapor baths, on Thompsonian or
other principles could remove. Purging and sweating
is all that is required to cure disease, no matter w hat
kind— it can he cured in no other wav. BRAN
DRETH’S PILLS arc both sudorific and cathartic
—that is, produce both sweating and purging. In
some cases they produce vomiting ; that is only when
the stomach is in such state of foulness that it cannot
cleanse itself by any other moans. They always pro
duce health, because they invariably excite every or
gan to healthy actiod—in other words, THEY AS
SIST nature to bring about such a state of things si*
1 necessarily causes fins desirable result.
No method rs so sensible as following Nature.—
Mankind have been long enough out of be- path, and
unfortunately after any thing but common sense, ami
guided by any whim birt reason. Let 11s abandon,
then, false notions and falserprac.tices--'et us endeavor
to resume the path of nature, and be guided bv the light
of reason—let us cerfsp to ruin our eves hr gas or can- !
die light, and wc shall need no opticians—let us cease,
s doing those things which are crtntrav to the. nature of
i our bodies, and we shall need no physicians—let us
j endeavor to find out what is na (ire. rvhat a e the laws
• that govern her. In this work experience must be our
■ teacher, and prejudice must be forever di cardtd as
’ our companion.

If there is any virtue irt the. genuine Pills, is it not
