1 have used Smith’s Grammar, Geography, and

that 1 consider them superior to any works on the
subjects of which they treat. Stu ents in Grammar,
using Smith’s work, make progi- ss which astonishes
those who have been accustomed to the old system of
class-books: The same might be said of students in
the other branches. Os these I speak confidently,

Located, seven miles East of Marion, near Hamburg
IN’ uniting these several Medical Systems or modes
ot practice Dr. B. R. THOMAS, the Principal
of the School, begs leave to state, for the information
of the allhctcd and public generally, that he has been
many years engaged in the practice of Medicine, and
has devoted much of Ins time, labor and practice, with
many of the most intelligent and successful German
and Inman Doctors, both in tire United States and
Canada, to the treatment of acute and chronic dis
eases of every name, stage and type, and of the most
malignant character; and has, by practicing with them,
acquired a thorough knowledge of all their valuable
secret Recipes and manner of treatment, which is far
superior to any thing known or taught in the Medical
Schools, and which has been successful, bv the bles
sings of the Almighty, in restoring to heafih, hundreds
and thousands of persons that had been treated for a
number of yvar3 by many of the most learned and
s aentilic Physicians of tire day, and pronounced to be
entirely beyond the reach of remedv, and given over
o die. Yet by thesimple, etiicacious Vegetable Medi-,
tomes, not. poisons, they were snatched from the jaws of
the-inn monster, death, and restored to health, the
greatest of all earthly blessings; lor what is riches
and elegant dwellings, without health to enjoy them.
I lealtli is the poor in tn’s wealth, and the rich man’s
Miss. ‘To am in laboring under disease, the world is
little better than a dreary solitude, a cheerless waste
enlivened by no variety, a jovless scene cheered bv
m social sweets; for the soul in a diseased body, like
a martyr in his dungeon, may retain Us value, but it
has lo I its usefulness.
Will be added to this institution, as soon as the ne
c issat v arrangements can be made, an infirmary—the
cold, hot, tepid, shower,sulphur and the German, Rus
sian ai*d Thonisoman Medicated Vapor Baths ; and
every thing that can possibly be of any advantage in

BA’ i E.VIPLETON REID.
THE importance of proptrlv preparing the Staple
of any country or section is well known, but to
no country or section is it of such importance as thus
tnat grow and produce the Cotton as their only staple
Therefore, under this and other considerations, I pn
pose to publish by subscription my system and practice
in Cotton Gin making and Ginning.
With the advantage of many years, experie. cr
the saonrice of much lime and labor —and believing
that I have brought it nearer to perfect on than any
other person, l submit it to the public m a concts'*
and Correct m inner—with niv late practice and v.;t|,
many improvements besides ihe valuable one of the
app iCalton of the Friction iVlutla, and new mode ol
j making the brush, (which l have patented in the Re
public of 1 exas); and the Brake or Agitator, my las:
improvement, which mucti increases the speed in gin
ning, and improves the Cott n. (It is well represented
in the plates and explained in ihe work.) ‘i he work
to contain about one hundred pages octavo, in grxid
binding, wit.i tea well engraved plates, illustrative oi
the system; of the Gin complete, plans, elevations,
sections, and figures in detaii, with references and de
scription of every part. Also plates of plan and eleva
tion of Gin House, Gear, position of the Gin, Itc. cal
culations of gear in spee ting the gin, with particular
description, explanation and directions to the Cotton
Planters in constructing the gm-liouse and gear, and
general management of the gin, cotton. Sic.
With the ruies and explanations given in the pro
posed Work, any good workman may execute the
whole plan well, and the Planter be enabled to judge
for hiuisetfin constructing his House, Gear, &c., and
in selecting a Gin that is rightly made in every respect,
and of good materials; therefore being a great saving
or gain to him, first, in cleaning nis crop in half the
time usually required; and in picking and moteing his
cotton well, so as to command the htgltes’ price in
market; in the durability of Ins Gin, which, if made
by tli o directions given, will last to pck a thousand
bags of cotton, (this would require three or four com
mon.made Gins to do the • auie.) And further, there
is no risk or danger of burning tne House, Cotton, &c.
by taking tire from tile Gin on the new friction wheel
plan, though you were to g ve it double the motion
Gins running on boxing would bear. Nothing will be
set down in the proposed Work but positive facts, be
ing the result (all prejudices aside) ol fair and repeat
ed experiments, (a safe guide to mechanical know
ledge and sktli.)
If 1 were going to continue the Cotton Gin making
business in this country, I should not trouble the pub
lic with this Prospectus for 1 would much rather
work for money than write for it as in the first case.
I would do it strict justice,—in the latter, I must ask
allowance for its defects, and liberal patronag® for its

descripii u on Pi icasnitz’s mode of treatment
of disease is a translation from a German pa
per — liichmor.d Compiler:
Dr. Vwzemz Priessmtz —This now cele
b a ed physician lasi summer again perform
ed great and asKrunding ernes. His fame
has already extended to America. Bui a lew
years ago lie was denominated an eccenir c
quack A large number oi patients visit him
eveiy year, among whom are many of the
nobility of Euro;*?. He reside- near the
town of Grofeiiburg ii Germany, in a moun
tainous but very healthy spot. His method
is dillcieni from that of any other pbvsiciati.
He Hues no medicine e.'Cept that of c old wa
ler. and fie genet ally cures bis patient in three
l .vs, but m no instance is moie than s.x davs
r q iisite. As soon as the symptoms of an
. f!; i.mitory disease appeat, the Doctor take
c uen -lieei. wets ii in cold water, and nltc
'■ m xi- it it effectually, he spreads o\er
verr tiiick blanke t on a bed. II • ter
the patient with great d.sp. m

and die blanket very tightly nromid (n.

patient is alllieted with a disease of th Ii mi.
or other disease which occasions fever in tfw
Ii -ad, he applies also a vvetf linen sheet to it,
but much iflicker than the other, and wraps
it several times around the head, particularly
around the forehead and temples, and covers
it with a blanket. For an inflammation of the
throat, he applies the same about the neck.
These applications are repeated everv 5, 10,
15, 20 oi 30 minutes, according to tiie pro
portiori of the fever. The patient alter be
ing ten minutes in this situation becomes
warm throughout the system. In some cas
es where the head is much a fleeted, fie applies
otic or two buckets of cold water to the hack
part of the head and neck, every time hn re
peats the application of the wet sheet. These
frequent coolings lessen the fever, and gener
j inly it) two hours it is entirely conquered.—
i When this is accomplished thepatienlrcmait -
in bed with a wet sheet around him, more c -
vering is applied over the body except i be
head, which kept as cold as possible. In
the course of an hour or an hour and ala i’
the patient becomes heated, an 1 soon after
per spit ntion follows, which however does i
affect the lungs. I fie palient is now allow
