This valuable medicine, which has become celebrated for the number of extraordinary cures effected through its agency, has induced the proprietors, at the urgent request of their friends, to offer it to the public, which they do with the utmost confi dence in its virtues and wonderful curative properties. The following certificates, selected from a large number, are, how ever, stronger testimony than the mere word of the proprietors; and are all from gentlemen well known in their localities, and of the highest respectability, many of them residing in the city of Richmond, Va. F. Boyder, Esq., of the Exchange Hotel, Richmond, known every where, says he has seen the medicine called Carter’s Span ish Mixture administered in over a hundred cases, in nearly all the diseases for which it is recommended, with the most aston ishingly good results. He says it is the most extraordinary med icine he has ever seen. Ague and Fever—Great Cure— l hereby certify that for three years I had Ague and Fever of the most violent descrip tion. I had several physicians, took large quantities of Quinine Mercury, and believe all the tonics advertised, but all without any permanent relief. At last I tried Carter’s Spanish Mixture, two bottles of which effectually cured me, and I am happy to say 1 have had neither chills or fevers since. I consider it the best tonic in the world, and the only medicine that ever leached my case. John Longden. Beaver Dam, near Richmond, Va. C. B. Luck, Esq., now in the city of Richmond, and for many the Post Office, has such confidence in the astonishing efficacy of Carter’s Spanish Mixture, that he lias bought up wards of 50 bottles, which he has given to the afflicted. Mr- Luck says he has never known iito fail when takeu according directions. Dr. Minge, a practicing physician, and formerly of the City otel, in the city of Richmond, says he has witnessed in a num ber of instances the effects of Carter’s Spanish .Mixture which were most truly surprising. He says in a case of Consumption, dependenton the Liver, the good effects were wonderful indeed. Samuel M. Drinker, of the firm of Drinker & Morris, Rich mond, was cured of Liver Complaint of three years standing, by the use of two bottles of Cart er’s Spanish Mixture. Great Cure Os Scrofula— Theeditors of the Richmond Re publicanihad a servant employed in their press room cured of violent Scrofula,combined with Rheumatism, which entirely disabled him from work. Two bottles of Carter’s Spanish Mix ture made a perfectcure of him, and the editors, in a public notice, say they “cheerfully recommend it to all who are afflicted with any disease ofthe blood.” Still another Cure of Scrofula —l had a very valuable boy cured of Scrofula by Carter’s Spanish Mixture. 1 consider it truly a valuable medicine.

Cushman&c Cos., New York, the receipts of my “Family Med icines,” with my full authority toprepare and offer them for pop ular use. In securing the co-operation of Mr. Alexander Cushman , who is a thoroughly educated Chemist and practical Apothecary of many years’ experience, lam enabled to assure the public that they will beprepared in the best, purest and most perfect form, regardless of expense. JAMES McCLINTOCK, M. D., Late Professor of An atomy and Surgery in the Philadelphia College of Medicine and Acting Prolessor of Midwifery; one of the Consulting Physicians of the Philadelphia Hospital, Bloeckly; late member of the National Medical association: Membei of the Philadelphia Medical Society; member of the Medico-Chir urgieal College of Philadelphia; formerly President and Professor of Anatomy and Surgery in Castleton Medical Co’deee Vermont; and also late Professor of Anatomy and Physiology in Berkshire Medical Institution, Mass &C.&C. Important to Consumptives, And all who are afflicted with Bronchitis, or weakness of the Lungs. Dr. McClintock’s Pectoral Syrup is recommended as one of the best and safest remedies ever used for Bronchitis, Consumption and all diseases of the Lungs and Air Passages • For any of these forms of disease showing themselves in Cough, Tickling ofthe Throat, Sense of Tightness in the Throat or Chest, Spitting of Blood, Difficulty of Breathing, Hoarseness or Loss of Voice, Hectic Fever, JVight Sweats, &c>, this SYRUP has been used with unbounded success for many years; it con tains no opium, morphine or antimony, which injurious drugs form the basis of almost all the quack remedies for lung com plaints. The Great Peculiarity of Dr. Me Cl in lock's Pectoral Syrup, is that in all chronic dis eases of the throat and lungs , it may be taken by the most delicate patient with perfect safety. It contains no injurious drugs, like the, common remedies used for pectoral complaints . It is pleas ant t,o the palate, produces no nausea or debility, butniay be taken freely and constantlv, with the certain result of purifying the bluod, strengening the stomach, and renovating the entire system while Healing and. soothing the irritated organs, and producing gradually a perfact cure. Price in pint bottles $1; six bottles for $5. Full directions ac companying each bottle. McClintock’s cold and cough Mixture. Colds and recent Coughs, especially if accompanied by fever or inflammatory excitement, require a remedy different in character from the Pectoral Syrup, which is so valuable in chronic com plaints. The Cold and Cough Mixture is precisely the cure for such recent coughs, cold and irritation ofthe throat and lungs. It is especially valuable for children; no family in our changeable climate , should be without this efficient remedy, which if taken on the first symptoms of cold, would prevent many an attack of Bronchitis , and a fatal issue in consumption. No Laudanum or preparation of Opium, in any shape in this syrup. Priceper bottle 25 cents. Purifying the Blood. The following, from the New York Tribune , will doubtless be very seasonable to all who seek not only to preserve their health, but to guard against all possible contingences which threaten to destroy it : ‘•'■We would call special attention to the importance of purifying the blood. Nothing is so prevalent as a gross and sluggish state iof the blood. We have no hesitation in recommending to those who would preserve their health, a free use of the best purifying medicine known to modern medical science, viz; Dr. McClintock’s Tonic Alterative Syrup* This remedy is not. only delightful to the taste, but perfectly safe and rapid in its effects. It stimulates the liver and other glands to natural action, gives tone and new vigor to all the func tions, and enables them to throw off all morbid and unhealthy ac cumulations.” During the extensive practice of Professor McClintock, one of the most celebrated Physicians in Philadelphia, thousands of cases of Scrofula, Erysipelas, Scurvey, Salt Rheum, Tetter Skin diseases of all kinds, Ulcers, Cancers, Pimples, Boils and Rheumatism, together with Syphilitic and Mercurial diseases in all stages were cured by the free use of Dr\McClintock's Tonic Al terative Syrup. For children it is perfectly safe, and from its ■pleasant, taste can be easily given. Those who are troubled with any of the above complaints , should take it regularly, Spring and Fall. Price $1 in large bottles. Six bottles $5. TREATMENT OF DYSPEPSIA. Our National Disease. Feeble or Imbcrfcct. Digestion or Dyspepsia, in some of its forms, is truly the National Disease of America. It causes, in directly, three-fourths of the sickness common to this climate. It causes impure Blood, irritations and acrid Humors in the Stom ach, Liver, Bowels and Glands, and the system thus poisoned be comes a prey to an endless train of evil symptoms, of which the following are a few, viz: Headache, Giddiness, Nervousness, Low Spirits, Dimness of Vision, with Mote, Speck or Webs be fore the Eyes, Itching of the Nostrils, Dullness of hearing, and Ringing or Drumming in the Ears, Bad taste in the Mouth, Tightness or Weight about the Chest, Difficulty of Breathing, Sense of Suffocation in lying down or ascending stairs, Palpita tion or uneasy feeling about the Heart, Irregular or deficient Ap petite, sense of sinking at the hca-t, sinking at the Stomach, Ac ridity, Heartburn , pain or fullness in the Abdomen , Costiveness, &c. Some of these symptoms always appear in Dyspepsia. They are often mistaken for, and treated as other diseases. Their main seat and source, however, is the Stomach, and a deranged condition of the digestive functions. To meet and overcome those symptoms radically , and restore perfect health and vigor to the system, a safe and certain remedy is found, combining all the most valuable ingredients offered by the vegetable Kingdom, in Dr. McCLINTOCR'S DYSPEPTIC ELIXIR. Its daily use would be a blessing to thousands who suffer from the bane of weakness. As the prescription of a leading physician, it can be used with confidence by all. Price in large bottles, sl. An Universal Pill. Dr. McClintock's Vegetable Purgative Pills, though not war ranted to cure all diseases, are a specific against the numerous disorders that arise from Costiveness, and Costiveness is the bane of life to thousands; giving rise as it does to Headache, Appo plexy, Impure Blood. Nervousness,Low Spirits, Lassitude, Pams in the Bowels and elsewhere, and other spmptoms to nu merous to mention. Costiveness ’will cause or aggravate almost every known disease, therefore the Pill best adapted to cure this danger ous habit is entitled to the boasted name of an Universal Pill Those who arc willing to try a scientific medicine, safe, certain, mild and thorough in its action, yet operating without pain, should use freely Dr. McClintock's Vegetable Purgative Pills. Price twenty five cents per box. Rheumatism and Neuralgia. ■- These excruciating diseases are radically, cured by takintr Dr. McClintock's RHEUMATIC MIXTUTE in doses of a tea spoonful three times a day. We have seen the worst cases relieved by it in twenty-four hours. For external use wchavenever known so powerful and penetrating an application as Dr. McClintock's RHEUMATIC LINIMENT. For sicellcd limbs, bruises, internal pains, crumps , chilblains, stiff joints, toothache, and oth er painful complaints, where we have seen it tried, it acts with magical effect. These remedies are sold at 50 cents per bottle. Have you the Ague! If so do not injure your Constitution by resorting to the com mon cures in use. Even very learned physicians are in the habit, of prescribing Quinine, Arsenic, Blue Pills, and other powerful drugs, which often do more harm than good., even if they stop the chills. On the contrary, the more and oftener you take Dr. McClintock’s Fever and Ague Specific, the stronger will your constitution become , and the, better your appetite and the vigor of the whole system. It is eminently an article that CAN RE TAKEN WITHOUT FEAR! and withal it. has never fail ed to cure all forms of Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever, Bit lions Fever, Panama or Chagres Fever, Dumb Ague, itc. Price One Dollar per Bottle. Whooping Cough Cured. This distressing disease is thoroughly and quickly cured by Dr McClintock's Asthma and Whooping Cough Remedy. It con tains no opium andean be given to children with perfect safety. A few drops at bed time quiet the cough all night, and a few do ses cure entirely. Instant Relief from Pain. No person need suffer from Toothache, Headache, Neuralgia or Rheumatic pains, Colic, Chilblains, Pleurisy or Stitches in the Side, Pain in the Back, side, limbs, bowels, bladder, or in any part ofthe body, who will apply to Dr. MoC/intock's ANOD YNE MIXTURE.

They mvy be wholly prevented , and in the beginning promptly checked, by Dr. McClintock's DIARRHCEA COR— DIAL, one of the most astonishing specifics for all Boicel Com plaints ever discovered. Thousands of cures hare been made du ring the past summer, and many lives saved by this medicine —so simple and cheap that every family can procure it.

Wilburn, recently delivered a lecture be forethe New YorhA/eicsmtile Library Associationen “The Southern Man.” We annex some extracts which both for their fidelity and beauty will be read with interest. Where the summer lengthens itself into nine continuous months, where the day is delicious and the night cooland spicy, the Southern man grows up a noble specimen of the physical man, endowed with nervous vitality, for he is accustomed from his earliesi years to the most active exercises, engaged in all the athletic sport sos youth on foot and horseback, in the forest and and the field ; used to the pistol and the rifle, and the chase.— Yet in every motion there is a degree of lassitude, surprising to those who understand not the effect of his clime, and which yet imparts a degree of ease, of graceful elegance, rarely possessed except by an inhabitant of a warm southern climate. In the long, glorious noontides, swinging luxuriously in his hammock, he inhales delicious airs, but laden, alas ! with death; they have on his cheek the marks of his origin, and the tale is soon told that tqe liver of the southern man is altogether out of order. This is a most maguificant hint,and the fact wascontem plated by the Greeks who made the word “melancholy,” which meaus, by etymolog),“a black or disordered liver.” We fully agree •with the gifted author of the above extract,and are happy to call the attention of those having a diseased liver, or any of those diseased so commom to a Southern climate, to to Hampton’s Vegetable Tincture the great invigorator of ihe system; by its use all sufferingfrom lassitude and weakness be comes robust and full of energy, w'e offer below some of the un solicited testimony, Washington, A/ay 17,1853.
