Wealth* Fame* Love And Truth
“Oh, give me Wealth !” he said, and lo!
The pebble caught the diamond’s glow;
And mountain crag and valley mould-
Burned with the hues of gem and gold—
He had his prayer —’twas his, the whole*—
But grief sat heav}- on his soul.
“Oh give me Fame !”—The laurel bough'
Twined with the oak to wreathe his brow;
The trumpet pealed, and pod’s lyre
Breathed forth his praise in words of fire;
He had his prayer, —’twas his, the whole—
But grief sat heavy on his soul.
“Oh give me Love !” Bright lips were there,.
Fair brows —than Parian stone more fair;
And eyes of loveliness undreamed,
With beauty’s glorio :s spirit beamed;
He had his wish, —‘twas his, the whole—
Yet grief sat heavy on his soul.
“Oh give me”—“Stay!” a soft voice came,
“Wealth has been thine, and Love, and Fame !
Ask not again, but irive thy youth,
Time, being, spirit—all to Truth :
A’nd then, though clouds without thee roll,
Light, light shall rest upon thy soul 1”
The Philosophy of Advertising is very well
given in a work published in London by C.
Mitchell, entitled “The Newspaper Press Di
rectory.’* The principles stated are quite as
applicable in this country as in Eurepe;
The Philosophy of Advertising--
“There is but one way of obtaining, business
—publicity; one way of obtaining publicity—
advertisements; the newspaper is the fly wheel
by which-the motive power of commercial en
terprise is sustained and money the steam by
which the advertising is kept going.-”—[Black
wood’ s Magazine.
When Dr. Johnson wrote “The Idler,” he
deemed the trade of advertising to be so near
perfection that it was not easy to propose any
improvement. “Every man t ’s he observes,
“now knows a ready method of informing the
public of all that he desires to sell or buy,
whether his wares be material of intellectual—
-whether he makes clothes or teaches nlathe
mathics —whether he be a tutor that wants a
pupil, or a pupil that wants a tutor.” If this
Were the case in thele irned Doctor” days bow
much more is it so at the present —for the media
through which advertisements may be circula
ted are greatly increased; and although that
eminent and sagacious personage was of opinion
that “the trade of advertising,” had attained
almost its final state of improvement, were he
now living he would find reason to own that he
was mistaken; and that that trade which he
esteemed “so near perfection,” was then in a
very crude and imperfect state indeed.-
But advertising is an art as well as a trade.
It is the trade of the proprietors of newspapers,
magazines or other channels though which
advertisements may be given to the public; it
is an art —and an art which requires some skill
to attain —in the hands of those who by adver
tising seek to recommend either themselves or
their wares to the public.
It may now be laid down as an established
axiom that no trade or profession can be follow
ed advantageously without some species of ad
vertising. “To advertise,” is become a matter of
absolute necessity to those who live by their
exertions, mental or corporal; for even the
physician and the lawyer, who deem it beneath
the dignity of their profession to follow the
example of John Smith, linen draper,’* or
“Tomas Brown, tailor,” by directly announcing
their names, residences and occupations in the
advertising columns of their local journals,
find means to do the same thing indirectly.
Every report of an-assize case, or a prosecution
at a quarter session, of a speech at a public
meeting, is an advertisement for the lawyer,
who feels annoyed if his name is not mentioned
in connection with the case in which he is
engaged; whilst the medical man finds an ad
vantage in being brought before the public in
connection with the institutions of his town;
and many when striving to establish themselves
are eager to see their names introduced into a
newspaper in an ingenious paragraph, which, in
those cases, answers all the purposes of a formal
advertisement.
* * * « « »
In selecting the advertiser should remember
two rules:
1. That business advertising is of wo party—
the advertiser looks for notoriety—for publicity
—for benefits —from the expense he goes to in
advertising. He should, therefore, not confine
his advertisement to those journals which may
advocate the same principles he himself pos
sesses, but look to that most likely to promote
his interests: unless, indeed, he advertises for
expressly sectarian or peculiarly party political
purposes: and even then we question whether
the full benefit of advertising can be served, by
confining it exclusively to the papers of the
religious or political principles which are sought
to be promoted. We should, in such cases,
insert our advertisements in papers of opposite
opinions; not to the same extent as those which
take similar views as ourselves, but certainly
we should take care that the subject to which
we wished to give publicity should be known
as well amongst enemies as amongst friends.
2. The second rule to which we would advise
advertisers to adhere is, in looking at the circu
lation of the papers to which their attention is
directed as an advertising medium, to regard its
quality rather than its quantity. Some of the
most widely circulated journals in the empire
are the worst possible to advertise in. Their
readers are not purchasers, and any money spent
upon them is so much thrown away. A journal
that circulates a mong families of the district;
one which has the confidence of the moneyed
and respectable classes of society; one -which,
from its character.is likely to be read attentively
by its circle of readers—in their own house—at
their own firesides, whilst it also finds access
to the newsrooms and libraries of its locality—
is a better medium for advertising, with a cir
culation of 2000, than another with a circula
tion of 4000, that being chiefly confined to
inns, public houses, and beer shops. The
reason is this; readers at home look to adver
tisements as a part of the contents of the paper
in which they may be interested, and almost
always refer to them. The same may be said
of the frequenters of reading rooms and libraries
—generally men of business, who want to see a
number of local journals for the advantage of
their business announcements; but readers at
public houses, it will be found, as a rule, read
lor the news and politics, mt for the advertise
ments; a long and close observation warrants
life in coming to this conclusion.
The Telegraph. 1
We cannot express, in words, the great gra
tification we feel in announcing to our readers
the fact, that at 20 minutes past 4o’clock yes
terday afternoon, communication was opened s
between this city and Columbia by telegraph. <
The business of the Company will be at once
commenced, and momentary communication
can now be had on all matters between the cit- ’
izens of the two cities. <
Dr. Duncan and Mr. Huntington, who have ,
the management of the office here, appear to *
be gentlemen well fitted for their station,
courteous, zealous and attentive, and must
experience great pleasure, and be relieved of
much anxiety, after having found that every 1
tiling connected with the Telegraph is com
plete.
Mr. Huntington, the operator, informs us ]
that the machine here works to admiration,
even better than was anticipated, and, and this
is the more gratifying, from the fact that the
weather was unfavorable, being cloudy, and
rain falling throughout the afternoon and eve
ning. # »
Continual commuication was kept up until
10 o’clock last evening. We give some of the 3
conversations that took place when the in
strument first commenced operating.
When it was found that the wire was con
nected, Mr. Huntington commenced— 1
Columbia, Do you get my writing ? i
Charleston, I get all you write to me. Mr. ,
Huntington, did you get my letter to-day ?
Columbia,, Have just received and read it. —
I have now a Message.
Charleston, Go a-head. .
The first Message sent, was to W. D. Por
ter, Esq., a member of the Charleston Delega--
tion, from Major Alexander Black, inquiring
whether a Memorial and Charter of the Tele
graph Company had been received. The an
swer was that it had, and been presented.
Several other Messages were forwarded, and
answers received, and some conversation took
place between the operators.-
Among the communications was the follow
ing, dated 8 o’clock, P.’ M., from Messrs. Sill
& Stubs, to whom we tender our thanks for
their kindness.
-For Charleston Court o—
“The Legislature has invited Gen. Quitman
to visit the Capital with Gen. Shields, as the’
guest of the S tate.
“Tuesday next, at one ./clock, is fixed for
the discussion of all different Bills for the
election of electors of President and Vico j
President.
“Monday is commencement day of S. Car- !
olina College. The Board of Visitors of the
College, have applied to the Legislature for
twenty thousand dollars to erect additional
College buildings.”
We made the inquiry of our correspondent,
whether there was any thing new, who res
ponded at half past 9 o’clock, as follows:
“Courier Office. —
“The Legislature has adjourned. Nothing of
importance before it, my report is closed and
in the office.”— Charleston Courier.

He has taken lodgings at the Charleston Hotel.

mail last evening from offices North
of Charleston. The failure is no doubt caused
by the recent freshet in Virginia.
the letter from the City of Mexico,
portions of which we published yesterday, oc
curs the following notice of a gallant young
officer, who -has many friends in this State
and who is a- native of this county. It was
inadvertently omitted* Though so many
handsome compliments have been paid him in
the official reports of his superior officers, it
may be agreeable to our readers to see what is
the general impression in the army of his con
duct.
“Lieut. Longstrecf is doing well. His gal
lantry is talked of throughout his division.
He brought his regiment, by his example, re
peatedly to the charge at Molino del Rev,
when it had been* repulsed by the deadly fire
of the enemy.”
A Candidate’s Campaign
After a long interval our piquant and amus
ing correspondent “A Backwood’s Candidate,”
i again appears in our columns. He gives the
result of an imaginary electioneering canvass.
It is to be sincerely hoped that in the present
day such scenes are wholly imaginary, or at
least very soon must become so. The sketches
which our correspondent has contributed we
have no doubt, are very life-like pictures of
what electioneering was, not very many years
ago in Georgia. But although the present
day may afford cases in many features resem
bling these he has portrayed, it must be ad
mitted that his descriptions are rather highly
coloured. Justice to the people of our State
constrains us to say that the clever author has
exaggerated, with the double view no doubt
of making his pieces more racy, and of im
pressing what he writes more deeply upon the
moral sense of the community.
- The practice however, of treating, of drench
ing and brutalizing the “floating voters” with
liquor to secure their votes is still too preva
lent. It is still carried on in some places to a
disgraceful extent in warmly contested elec
tions. We are pleased to see the lash of ridi
cule laid on. We hope another year our cor
respondent will “continue the hoarhound.”
His satire is not the less effectual from being
applied playfully and in good humor.
Congressional Globe-
We would call the attention of our readers to
the prospectus of Messrs. Blair & Rives, for
publishing in Washington City the Congres
sional Globe and Appendix. They are publi
cations that should be in the possession of all
who take an interest in our national affairs,
and are published at so low r a price that they
are within the reach of almost every one.
The Telegraph-
It will be seen by an article in this day’s pa
per, taken from th» Charleston Courier,"that
the Telegraph between that city and Colum
bia was in full operation on the Ist inst. We
hope it will not be long before it reaches this
city, as it is on the direct mail route, and will
anticipate the mail one day between the two
places.
We learn from Washington, that the trial of
Lt, Col. Fremont is progressing. In examining
Lt. Emory, he stated that Gen. Kearney assert
ed that nothing but the want of a sufficient
| force prevented him from crushing Col. Fre- |
jxiontf and others Who opposed him, and esfab- -
fishing the authority with which he was in
vested by the War Department.
The weather at Washington Was quite cold,
and the city was fast filling up with members
of Congress and others.
The Telegraph posts on James River were
washed away by the late freshet, and conse
quently there was no communication by tele
graph between Petersburg and Baltimore at
last dates.
The Theatre-
We are glad to see by the bills of the daj%
that our indefatigable Manager has re-engaged
Mr. Crisp and Miss Ellis, and that they will
make their appearance this evening in Tobin’s
popular Comedy of “ The Honey Moon." The
bill offered should draw a good house.
The Circus
Continues to draw, and is nightly crowded.
This is the last night but one of their perfor
mances in this city.
The Whig-s and the War-
The following letter from Col. Wynkoop, of
the Pennsylvania Regiment, will be read with
interest by every lover of his country. Dis
guise it as they please, the course pursued by
the leaders of the whig party, in this country,
is fast gaining for them the unenviable notori
ety of the Tories of the revolution. They may
scout at the name of blue light Hartford Con
vention federalists, but posterity will fix upon
them the same indelible stamp. He that is
not for his country is against it, should be, and
is, the motto of every true American.
[.F rom the Philadelphia Pennsylvanian .]
Letter from Col- F. Wynkoop-
Francis W. Hughes, Esq., of Pottsville, to
whom the following letter was addressed, has
kindly placed it at our disposal. It expresses
the frank opinions of a gallant soldier, in phrase
so direct as to present all misconception. A
perusal of it will make out federal friends re
gret the course they have pursiied, and rejoice
the heart of every true lover of our country,
her glory, and her institutions. Col. W. was
a “ whig” at home ; but the conduct of the
leaders and the organs of the federal party, in
their “ aid and comfort” of the enemy, has
been so glaringly unpatriotic, that it has con
verted him into a good democrat while abroad;
a patriot he has always been, as bis conduct
fully proves.
Castle op Perote, Sept. 9, 1847.
My Dear Sir. — Having a little leisure from
my daily occupations, and remembering warm
ly and freshly several acts of kindness towards
me, it gives me pleasure to address you,
knowing that ypu entertain some interest for
my welfare. I am now in command of this
military department, and am kept quite busy
with continual skirmishes with guerrillas, and
an occasional sharp fight with large forces that
gather between here and the coast, in’ order
to oppose trains. The health of my garrison
is good, and I have hopes that the great mor
tality which has existed in the array is decreas
ing.
This is hard, laborious, and precarious ser
vice. Many of our best men have died, and
I truly consider the climate, in itself, a much
more formidable enemy than the Mexicans.—
A noble and self-denying spirit of endurance
actuates the men, and complaint of any kind is
rare. Contented to do their duty, they risk
everything in the effort, and with a cheerful
ness which is gratifying to those who command,
step up readily to any work, no matter what
the chances. It is, as I have before remarked,
a hard service, full of toil, and bravely endured.
Judge then, of the effect upon our good men
here, when they look back over the distance
which separates th em from their friends, in an
effort to find at home some proper apprecia
tion of their self-sacrificing conduct ! It is
bitter and humiliating. I tell you, sir, there
is a spirit abroad among the good Americans
engaged in this war, which will not sleep du
ring futurity—a spirit which awaits but their
return, to thunder down upon the mouthing,
scribbling sycophants of a most unjust party
the full measure of an honest indignation. —
It is the same that brooded over our land du
ring the war of the Revolution and the last
war ; and men of the present day, palsied with
age, have lived to curse, with tears of repen
tance, the hour when she, with scornful finger,
marked them for life as the traitors of
their country. We, here can see no differ
ence between the men who in'76 succored the
British,’and those who in '47, gave arguments
and sympathy to the Mexicans. This kind of
language from a man who came into this cam
paign a whig in policy, may sound strange to
you ; but I have again and again been com
pelled to listen to, and to suffer that which
would have changed the disposition and ali
enated the affections of the most determined
partisan. Even now, I do not object to the
leading and main principles of my old party,
so much as I curse and deprecate the tone of
its acknowledged leaders and supporters. If
there is any reason which will prevent General
Scott from effecting an honorable peace, com
manding as he docs, the whole city of the
Aztecs, with his powerful battery, it is the
spirit of treason which I unhesitatingly say is
promulged by the leading whig journals at
home. In a sortie upon some ladrones of Ja
lapa, a short time since, I possessed myself of
all the late newspapers published in that place;
and upon examining them, I find that, in that
place, same as in Mexico, the strongest argu
ment,published against our army,are selections
from whig papers in the United States. I
send you a late copy of the “ Boletin de Noti
cias,” in which you will preceive that the first
article is an extract from the National Intelli
gencer, Your friend,
F. M. WYNKOOP.
You may publish this, if you please. I
have become so disgusted with what I have
seen, that I have no eare for the consequence
which this kind of truth may produce.
A Hard Case, if True
A correspondent of the London Times, on
noticing the statement of the execution at
Mexico of the deserters headed by Riley,
states, that while at Matamoros, he was arrest
ed by the U. States patrol, taken to Tampico,
handcuffed by Mr. Clifton, the harbor-master,
I j
and thrown into prison, on suspicion of being
Riley. He adds:
“ After I had been there about a fortnight,
a 24-pound shell* with a chain six foot long,
and two inch links, was fixed to my leg on an
anvil at the blacksmith’s, and thus was I kept
till it was. reported that I waa to be shof. All
this without trial!. I then wrote to the Bri
tish Consul, Mr* Glass; he sent to the judge
(Capes) and to the commanding officer of the
town (Col. Gates) to say that he wished to be
present at my trial. This I suppose caused a
delay, for that day above two hundred men,
chiefly volunteers, went out to see me shot.
“ I lay in this manner, double ironed, about
four months. In the meantime a description
of Riley came from Gen. Taylor’s camp, I
was then measured, and found to be six inches
shorter, and thereupon was released at once.
“ I got ten days soldier’s rations, and a steer
age passage to New Orleans, as compensation
for my imprisonment in a loathsome place, full
of every kind of vermin.”
This letter is signed T. R.
It is strange that we have never heard of this
matter before.
Domestic Wine-
The Columbus Enquirer of 30th ult. says
We have been presented with a bottle of Port
Wine, manufactured by Mr. Charles A. Pea
body, at bis vintage in Russell county, Ala., a
few miles west of this city. It is the unadul
terated and unmixed juice of a native grape,
and according to our taste is superior to any
thing of the kind that the enterprise of this
country has furnished. The maker of this ar
ticle, during the last year, received from the
great American Institute the silver medal
awarded for the best American Wine, and has
again, at the last meeting of the Institute,
won from all competitors the prize of a silver
cup. We sampled his bottles of the last year,
and regard those of the present season much
superior in quality, taste and body. This
Wine is made without the addition of any
kind of spirituous liquor, or coloring matter,
and is to all intents just as it runs from the
luscious grape,
[ Correspondence of the Constitutionalist .]
MILLEDGEVILLE, Nov. 30, 1847,
Dear Sir: The Senate considered to-day
the bill of the House of Representatives, to
appropriate money to furnish the Executive
Mansion, and it was amended by striking out
$1,500 and inserting $2,500. Upon the final
passage the yeas and nays were ordered and
were yeas 33, nays, 12.
The argument upon the report of the Com
mittee on the state of the Republic was re
sumed this morning.
Mr. Reese moved to strike out the amend
ment of Mr. Dimagan adopted yesterday,
which called forth very considerable argument
and the vote being taken, was yeas 23, nays
24.
The debate was continued until dark, arid
the vote being taken, the report of the Com
mittee was agreed to, with some amendments
which I have not been able to obtain. I will
send you the resolutions as passed, to-morrow,
if I can get them.
The special order of the House of Repre
sentatives was the bill of Mr. Jones, to sim
plify and curtail proceedings at law, &c, Mr,
Jones and Mr. Harris of Baldwin, were the
principal speakers. The late hour at which
the House adjourned prevented me from get
ting the result of their deliberations,-

A Candidate’s Campaign—No- 5-
Mr. Editor: I reckon you concluded I was
beat in the election, being as how you did’nt
hear from me. Well sure enough I came out
second best in the race, and I took it to heart
so much I’ve been quite doncey ever since, but
I am sorter getting over it now, and as candi
dates never get beat fairly, I want to let you
know how it was done in my case.
You see, sometimes a man comes out behind
in his election because his friends think he
will be elected any how, whether they go to
the polls or stay at home—sometimes the
weather is unfavorable and his party don’t
turn out well —and again some strange story
(all a lie of course) pops up just before the
election and no time to clear it up. One thing
is certain, all we poor follows tchat got beat,
would have been elected, if every thing had
been done up fair. Mine was rather a singu
lar affair indeed, for I was beat by jist one
wagon load of drunkards. You shall hear from
my journal.
Sunday Morning —My friends said I must
prepare for a day’s work to-morrow, must
send out a loco, good and true, to every pre
cinct (only thirteen of them) to notice that
matters were manag’d fairly and squarely at
the ballot box, and provide something to moist
en the clay of the independent voters and lead
them up to the polls in due time, Also have
picket guards at the extremity of every street
to escort the citizens into town, and furnish
them with whisky and votes and give them a
proper direction.
Sunday Evening —Bob Sanders came in with
a score of voters, —said they must quarter on
me till the election was over—must be closely
attended, for they were some of the floating
voters who had no principles in particular, and
were in the market for the highest bidder—
(Bob is a wheel horse in elections, but he says
he don’t see how they could get on without
whisky)—kept a full side board —told wife she
must provide a good supper —thought they
had remarkable appetites —old Joe Goss ate
thirteen biscuits and meat to match, but when
he sent up for the tenth cup of coffee, wife
bristled up and said he should’nt be a hog at
her table. I winked at her but she would let
out, and the old fellow took it in dudgeon—
left the fable, staggard out and swore he would
go over to Jim’s and finish his supp«r, and vote
for him too—and further, he had no idea of
voting for me but thought best to live on his
enemies. I told wife she must bear every
thing—candidates and candidates wives should
never get out of temper —one vote might be
of great importance —old Goss’ vote might
elect Jim and Jim’s vote elect Berrien, and
Berrien might undeclare the war and disgrace
the nation —mentioned the Rhode Island pig
case that caus’d the last way with England—
she answer’d me very tartly—said she thought
this was a very hoggish case any how. That
i*' # :
night she gave me one of her longest curtain
lectures—thought of poor Mr. Caudle*. Js>put
midnight Bob wak'd me up to say he had a
baker's dozen of voters in an old house ii\
suburbs—wa'nt fit to enter a decent house—
too much like FalstafTs soldiers—and he just
wanted liquor enough to make them sleep
well till day light and he’d march them up to
the polls, bright and early. Bob is a cute fol
low for picking up the floating voters.
Monday Morning. —The great day came at
last; thought I had the advantage of Jim as
he had no grocery, but when I looked out in,
the morning h© had a barrel of whiskey by
the court house door—the head out and tin
cups plenty—a strong game that—what a
stopping stone to the polls, “ Now cam© the
tug of war.” What a time for a modest man
who has any conscience or fine feelings. Jim
was wide awake, his hands full of tickets—he
went to and fro and literally dragged them to
the ballot-box, X thought I would try it too, i
but I felt moan, and somehow I didn’t succeed t
well, and I gave it up— found I was no match
even for beardless boys, who were pushing '
their tickets on old gray-hoadod men—thought
a small visitation of shoe leather would have
been apropos just to hoist them out of their (
minority. I can hardly tell how I got through ,
the day, for, having to sip a little with every
friend, I was rather tight, and didn’t notice
particulars. But night came at last, and then
commenced the counting out. ’Twas an ex
citing time, as we talley’d close, but I saw X
was going a leetle behind, and I got very sick
—started home —stopt at the grocery to tell
my boy to hold off —found a nice set there —in
one corner some ‘ lovers of fun,’ were betting
on “little Sam,” who was rearing and pitch
ing, and throwing himself into all manner of
contortions to shake a thrip off his forehead
which wa’nt there. On the other side, old
Jerry Horton was seated on the floor, with
his back in close contiguity with a hogshead
of whisky, under which the rogues had fas
tened his coat tail, and there he was discours
ing eloquently to himself on the blessings of
liberty. (I saw him next day minus a coat
tail.) In the centre of the room the rascals
had built a square pen with the drunkards
that were past all locomotion, and ever and
anon they would jerk out the bottom one and
place him on top, declaring they went for “ro
tation in office.” In my own domicil, I found
the voters (they are privileged characters,) had
taken possession of every nook and comer,
and -were snoring off the liquor they had swal
lowed during the day. When X bad squeez'd
in among’ them and fell into a half slumber, I
imagined I was in Egypt, and the voters all
turned to frogs, to punish me for treating. I
could see them grow larger and larger, and all
centred towards mo vrith hideous oroakings.
One old fellow in particular, with a tremen
dous bass voice, swelled to an enormous size
and looked very savage and threatening. As
he advanced towards me, my hair was erect
with fear, and when he got so near that he
breathed in my face, his breath smelt of whis
ky, and I woke up, and there was old Downy
right before me. He had come in from a pre
cinct and been shouting a long time, he said,
to wake me, for he was as “ dry as a powder
house.”
Tuesdiy Morning. —l learned I was a few
votes behind, and when I inquired for my
friend Bob, to my great mortification, I found
he had got into a priminary and sloped. Some
Whig boys had persuaded him to have a little
spree, and they managed to get him so well
corn’d that he slept too long, and about day*
light they put the “ baker’s dozen” into a wa
gon, run them out to a precinct, and a morning
dram was sufficient to make them all vote the
Whig ticket, and that turned the election
against me,
Thus my valuable services are lost to the
country, and many important and serious con
sequences may be brought about by “ jist one
wagon load of drunkards.”

Sauls’ Sarsaparilla.
The removal of suffering has been the object o{
the philanthropist in every age of the world, but
the true principles of treating disease progressed
but slowly for many thousand years, owing to th*,
limited means of acquiring knowledge j but since
the introduction of the printing press and steam
engine it may literally be said “ Light has dawn-,
ed upon the world,” and the man of the nineteeth
century possesses advantages which his fathers
never did. In this general diffusion of knowledge,
remedies hare been nought after and discovered in
the beautiful storehouse of the vegetable creating
exactly calculated to combine with t neutralize anc(
dispel the subtle poison which diffuses itself
throughout tb© general system and prostrates man
in the dust. Sands* Sarsaparilla, a purely vegeta
ble preparation, has been thoroughly tested in a
variety of diseases, and is, from e*j»cnencc, known
to be a safe and effectual cure for Scrofula or Ei,
largement of the Glandes, Leprosy, Salt Rheum,
Scald Head, Eczema, Rheumatism, Palpitation of
the Heart, and other diseases originating in an im
pure or depraved state of the blood or derangement
of the digestive organs.
For furtiier particulars and conclusive evidence
of its superior value and efficacy, see pamphlets,
which may be obtained of agents gratis.

A CURE OF BODY AND MIND.
Philadelphia, Jan. 6th, 1846.
Dr, D, Sir ; —Justice compels me
to make the following statement of the extraordi-.
nary effects of your valuable medicine—the ALi
TF.RATIVE.
1 certify that ray wife was afflicted for fourteen
years, during which time her disease baffled the
skill of several eminent physicians, and after find
ing that every means that were used failed to re*
lieve her, I concluded to place her in the Pennsyl
vania Hospital, hoping that with the care and treatr
ment she would there receive from the physicians
in that institution she might again be restored to
health, But to my great disappointment she grew
worse, and became 1 entirley deranged in her nund,
and I was obliged to take her home again “ INCU*
rable” and bereft of reason. I will here
mention that at this, time the more prominent symp
toms of her disease were Dyspepsia and Lives
Complaiut, attended with sickness of the stomach,
and vomiting of a very offensive foetid mucus,
pains in the head, back and stomach, and in the
region of the heart, with violent attacks of Colic,
a troublesome cough from large quantities of
phlegm in her throat, which kept her continually
sagging find retching to throw it up. She had nq
appetite, and was very weak. She also suffered
very much from a uterine disease by which she
was confined to her bedi Add to all the
the deranged state of her mind, (which at this
time was truly awful.) and you will be able to
form some idea of her afflictions.
By the advice of a friend we commenced gi*’
ing her your Alterative, in the doses of a tea
spoonful three times a day, and found that it helped
her. We also gave her your Vermifuge to increase
her appetite, and the Sanative Pills toregulalejhef
bowels. She had not taken two bottles of the Al
terative, before iit operated upon her in a won
derful manner, filling her face with small red
pimples, and caused her to expectorate large
quantities of corr-ption, before which, her breath
was s« offensive we could not remain jn the room
with her unless the doors were open. Findingthe
Alterative doing her so much good, we in
creased the dose according to the directions, and
she continued to improve daily, until finally she
WAS RESTORED to health, in boot AS well/
AS IN MIND .... ha.
I hope you will delay no time in laying tm
fore the public, as lam willing to be qualified .
anytime to tfie truth of the above statement,
that it was your Alterative which cured ner.
