COUNTY LYCEUMS.
At a meeting of the “Teachers’Society of
the State of Georgia,” recently held in Sa
vannah, the subject ofCounty Lyceums was dis
cussed, at considerable length, and a committee
appointed to report on tlie expediency of intro
ducing them through the State. Lite committee
reported as follows.
“ Your committee, believing the organization
ofCounty Lyceums the first and most efficient
measure to secure the objects of this Society, and
to advance the cause of education through “he
State, propose the following resolutions :
Resolved, Ist. That a committee be appoin
ted to prepare a circular, giving a brief exposi
tion of the plan and advantages of such institu
tions, with the form of a constitution annexed ;
and that the editors in this State bo requested to
publish the same.
“ 3d. That all the teachers, and other mem
bers of this society, be requested to use their in
fluence to accomplish this object, in their res
pective counties; and to induce their friends to
make similar exertions in other counties.
“ 3d. That cabinets of Natural History are
important objects ofCounty Lyceums, and well
calculated to promote tlie general cause of edit
cation. It is therefore recommended that mea
sures be speedily taken to introduce them into
lyceums, schools, and other literary institutions,”
The above report was unanimously adopted,
•«nd the undersigned were appointed a committee
to carry the resolutions into effect.
In complying with the duties assigned them
the committee present the following circular, to
which they invite the attention of the friends of
education through the State. The objects and
plan of a Courtly Lyceum will be seen in (lie an
nexed form of a Constitution. The following are
•some of the advantages which have res ailed,
and are#aaticij)ated from the proposed institu
tions.
Ist. Raishur
arid consequently the character oj the schools un
der their charge —Monthly, quarterly, or semi
annual meetings of teachers and other friends of
education, tor the purpose of aiding each other
in their responsible and dignified profession, is a
prominent object ofCoun:y Lyceums. At these
meetings, favourable opportunity is given for
teachers to become acquainted with each other’s
modes and improvements in teaching; and to
learn tlie progress and improvements ol educa
tion in other parts ot the world.
With improvements in modes ot teaching, a
new interest is cxciied, and new el Forts are end
ed forth among teachers; and tlie co-operation
of parents for the advancement ol the great
cause, in which they, no less than teachers, are
interested, is secured. In litis way, County
Lyceums, in many parts of our country, have
already done much to raise the character and
extend the usefulness of schools; and to diffuse
useful knowledge among all classes ot the com
munity.
2d.* The establishment and patronage of Ly
ceum Seminaries, or .Manual L.iaor Schools.
No subject relating to Lite general, and highest
interests of our nation, has more completely se
cured public feeling, and public confidence, than
.he principle of self -education and self -support,
as the foundation of literary institutions. Any
one, who will examine thb subject, will probably
be satisfied, that there is no medium or agency,
by which manual labor and sob-supporting
schools can be so successfully established, in ail
•sections, and for all classes of our Republic, as
by county societies for the general advancement
of education. The friends of education rtn any
one, even the smallest, of the eleven hundred
counties in our Union, must surely be able to
sustain an institution, whose fundamental princi
ple is self-support . And where can the exam
ple be set, with greater propriety, or with better
prospect of success, than in Georgia ?
3ti. The introduction of a system of Circuit
Teaching, through the medium of weekly, semi-
Nveekly, or semi-monthly schools, to be under
'the charge of well qualified and experimental
teachers. While such a system possesses great
Jiower and many advantages, as applied to any
portion of our country, in new and thinly settled
Sections, it is eminently appropriate, and even
indispensable, for giving to every child the first
rudiments of an education. Besides bringing
Nvtkhin the pale of instruction many more child
ren, it will give to all who are instructed, the
-advantages of more highly qualified teachers,
than can possibly be supported in daily schools.
A system of circuit teaching, or of weekly
schools, would hold a most intimate and inter
esting connection with tlie Lyceum Seminaries
Just mentioned: as*h ev would furnish teachers,
and other facilities lot carrying them on, where
ever such seminaries ar<g 0 "r may be established.
4th. Cabinets oj Aat oral History, and of the
Useful Arts. Specimens of the works of our
Creator, and of the productions of art are a
•source of such rich and high enjoyment, to eve-
Yy rational mind; and arc attended with so many
advantages, of a practical, moral, and religious
■character, as to remove all doubts *f their im
portance in lyceums, schools and families. And
it is truly gratifying to observe the rapid, and
even unparalleled progress this subject is ma
king, as a department of education, and in every
section of our country. Bv the agenev of
County Lyceums, it is’believed that this work
I of national, as well as of individual interest, can
be forwarded with greater rapidity and success,
han by any other measure, which is, or can be
evised. It therefore presents one strong rea
son for the general and immediate organization
of such societies throughout our country.
sth. Itinerating Libraries. In Scotland and
■ some other parts of Europe, libraries are col
lected, divided in separate portions, and distribu
ted into several parishes, or districts, and once
in six weeks, or three months, or other periods,
they are again collected, and again distributed,
so as to give all concerned the advantage of se* -
veral new libraries in the course of a year; and
that at a very trifling expense. .What prevents
such a plan being carried into effect by the agen
cy of County Lyceums, in all the counties of
tlie Union ?
6th. County Maps. The numerous and im
portant advantages derived from accurate State
maps, and in some instances from maps of coun- j
ties and towns, furnish sufficient proof that a
more complete system and supply of these useful
and efficient instrument* of knowledge, is a
measure of great importance in the cause of uni
versal education. And it must be evident to
every one, that if County Lyceums were esta
blished throughout this, or any other State, they
might furnish such maps of a most perfect cha
racter, and in full supply.
The following, with numerous other advqnta
ges, which have resulted or are anticipated
from the operation of County Lyceums, lead to
■ a confident belief that the introduction of them
into the eleven hundred counties of the United
States, is belter calculated to extend tlie bles
sings of education to every child, and every citi
zen of the American Republic, than any other
measure which can be proposed. And when
Ibis measure is carefully and candidly examined,
it is believed that it will be found to be entirely
feasible; and in counties where the population
is small and scattered, that something of she kind
is indispensable for giving to every child the
slightest opportunity for intellectual and moral
improvement.
Under these considerations, the committee
submit the proposed measures to the friends of
education in this Slate, with great confidence
of their Approbation, and with strong hopes that
it will secure their efforts and general co-opera
tion for carrying it into effect.

Savannah, Dec. 18, 1833.
[From the St. Augustine Herald.]
THE SOUTH CAROLINA RAIL ROAD.
The following curious letter, bearing date,
Columbia, S. C. Nov. 10, is from a personal ac
quaintance,—“ a Yankee among the Nullifiers”
—whose accuracy may be implicitly relied on.
We expect other communications from the same
source hereafter.
The road consists of a single track, with turn
out*at various places. The rails of the track
1 • ;I, itw U’ j/ntc
fall of pile A. In the wet and boggy places first
are driven piles, ten feet, more or less, into the
soih Over these connecting limbers are placed :
thetl Cross timbers keep the connecting timbers
at-an equal distance from each other. On the
ends of the Cross timbers the rail timbers aie
placed : on the inner side of their upper surface
the irons arc nailed, all of them throughout be
ing of tlte same width. In he few excavated
places that occur, the same construction exists,
except that there are no piles, the connecting
timber in the former case lying hard upon the
ground.
The city of Charleston being one dead level,
as well as the surrounding country for miles,
there are excellent routes fop rail roads. The
expense of them is of course far less than at tlie
North, where bridges arc to be built, bills cut
through, and the like. Indeed, the expense of
the whole of this road is said to be less than any
one of the Northern rail roads.
Before we started, the engine was sent off
some distance to bo tried. After thfe passengers
had been detained some quarter-hours beyond
the appointed hour, they staYicd at the rale ot
ten or twelve knots. The country, as fat as
eve could see, was shaded With here and there a
solitary live-oak, and woods ofpjtch-pinei In a
little wjiile thespeed of the engine began sensib
ly to diminish, and soon aftef came to an end.
The ctyise of this stoppage, I was told, was
« want of steam. * So, after Sambo had been
sent to pick up some brush and other procurable
fuel, the engine began to go again—likff the
Dutchman, who, while advancing in she march,
stopped to light his pipe, that he might attack
'the enemy under cover of the smoke.
On arriving at Woodstock, about 15 trifles
from Charleston, we saw a small patch of sugar,
which had been planted on experiment. A
gentleman who examined it said that it had been
nipped by the frost before ripe* So that Car
olina may despair of ever raising the sugar-cane.
The road seemed to vary in construction in
no respect from the part at Charleston. The
management of the engine was indeed wonder
ful. Now it went as if Satan was at its heels ;
now it scarcely dragged its freight. Several
times it came to a dead stand —for “ want of
steam.” By and bye, as it had just crossed a
small rivulet, a short distance from Columbia,
a jar was sensibly felt. Presently “ stop” was
heard from one of the passengers. “ Stop, en
jgineer,” was vociferated all around : At last
the engine was stopped. Some of the passen
gers began to get out. I looked out and saw
something crawling at a distance of the rear,
beside the rails.—On approaching nearer, I saw
a groaning negro. “Was he Injured much?” said
one. I went to the sufferer, and saw in him a
negro of about 50 years of age, wounded in
the head and legs.—l am all over for this
world,” said the poor fellow. On looking still
further, a chill came upon my nerves, as I saw
blood streaming profusely from his right foot,
and his left but one mingled mass of blood, dust,
and broken bones. Part of it was smashed to
atoms !
He was placed in the car and carried to Co
lumbia, “ Bind it in spirits of turpentine,” cried
one. For my own part, seeing the kind of sur
gical skill to which the poor fellow was to be
subjected, as a duty to humanity, though a
stranger, I stepped up and begged.them to wash
; away the dirt and clotted blood with warm wa
iter, and to stop the hemorrhage with clean
linen lint, and a bandage upon the parts above,
! until a surgeon could be procured. “Do you
■ think he will ever be icorth any thing again ?”
cried one. “How muca will be sell for now,
suppose 7” said a second. At length, seeing
my advice little heedet, and hearing muttered
cries about the “ meddlesome Yankee,”
I deemed it prudent to withdraw.
What became of the wounded black, I could
never again learn. ,4nd why the engineer nev
er saw him upon the rails, or did not stop the
engine in time, remains to ®ie still a matter of
nrlystery.—But a slave, you know,“has no Soul.”
So mote it be.
From Columbia the road began to grow red.
I Was told the effect was owing to a red clay
that extends thro’ the whole State, and gives to
much of the land a frightful appearance.
After continuing during the afternoon, in the
above manner—stopping, then going fast, then
going fast, then slow again—we arrived at two
or three log houses, and one half built “tavern”
amid a half burnt forest of pitch pine.—Here
was Black villri. A few fires glimmered on the
ground : a square, roughboarded fabric stood by
the road side, which was the “store house.”
Here was to be our tarrying place for the Eight.
We had accomplished the wonderful distance of
90 miles from 8 A. M. toGj P. M. on a rail‘road,
through a country with a hard soil, and with not
a hill rising twelve feet the whole journey. The
whole country for 100 miles from the sea-ebast
as level as your frog pond.
After warming ourselves, we were shown
into a room furnished with a few old chairs and
a table. The food upon it was good ; the cook
ing, probably that of slaves—miserable. After
supper, I went out and stood by the fire in the
open air. The thought of being alone, unknown
to a single soul, at 1000 miles from home, in a
desert barren land —came forcibly to mind.
Tlie climate, too, seemed changed. Here was
nought but a vapory, contaminated atmosphere;
while on the Connecticut, the bracing westerly
wind blew life and health to its inhabitants. At
last, tired and fatigued, I applied for a couch io
the landlord. There were, I believe, but five
rooms, and about 25 or 30 passengers were to
share them. The landlord led me to a room
containing three beds.—The question was asked
him if no other room could be obtained with a
single bed, or with but two at farthest ?—“None,”
be replied, adding, at the same time, that I “bad
better wait a little while, as perhaps he should
have to put another into the same cot,” pointing
to the same bed 1 had selected.
The room was occupied by sou New
Yorker, and a Georgian in one bed, a raal tar,
in a second, and myself in a third. The Geor
gians have naturally some oftlie best of hearts.
Hence, why a Y ankee should be thought wor
thy of one’s society. A South Carolinian would
have shunned tlie N. Yorker as if a wild beast.
There being no appeal from this mode of
sleeping, submission seemed best. Five rooms
were built, opening into one entry separate ’
f-- ' „„ -■ I - -—1 —T'*— 7 1' L '-I. .
which the open cracks were one inch only in
tfidth. Besides, the partitions did not extend to.
the top. The rooms very much resembled a
row of stalls in a stable, open above. Any
thing said at one end could be heard at the oth
er. In one of them were several ladies.
After having slept soundly, the bull rung, and
‘get up’ was the watch word. Having dressed*
&c. the door to breakfast, soon opened. Os the,
latter 1 make no complaint, except of its cook
ing. The fee of $4,00 was paid and vre start
ed again.
The road continued as before. The land
grew uneven. Long- and undulating hillocks
appeared*—Where those were cut through, tlie
ground exactly resembled brick dust. Here
commenced the upland. Nearly 100 miles had
been one vast flat plain.
The country grew more and more hilly till
we reached “ Aiken,” 120 miles from Charles
ton, where the car stopped, aud oar baggage was
taken out, and put into another car, to go down
the “ inclined plane.” The old car immediate
ly returned to Charleston.—The new one was
let down the inclined plane by negroes. Its
perpendicular descent might have been 200 feet,
in a horizontal distance of 1200. The rails
were well built on the “ inclined plane” —when
at the bottom, 75 cents was demanded. We
stepped into a car with a very mean covering,
like that of a Northenl “ covered light wagon”.
On either side was a stand with railings. Two
negroes on each stand turned a crank in its cen
ter. We soon began to go about sor 6 miles
an hour. The country became more hilly in
our cruise. At 4, P. M. the car stopped at I lam
burg, 136 miles from Charleston. Having been
apprised of the fare —seventy jive cents each—
demanded by the stage for carrying passengers
across Augusta bridge, I slipped a quarter into
a negroe’s hands and walked on loot while ho
lugged my baggage in the U. S. Hotel in the ci
tv. The stage driver seemed chagrined.
The U. S. Hotel is a large airy building.
The fare is $1 50 per day. The building, its fur
niture, the rooms, the table arid tlie attendance
are exactly of the same quality as those of the
Commercial at Boston, with this difference, that
the servants are slaves, and the food very much
crisped in cooking. Fa r e for single dinner 75
cents : sapper and breakfast 50c. each, lodging
37 £ do. every thing else at an extra charge.
Augusta is the finest city I have yet seen at
the South. The streets are very broad, and
fringed like those of Charleston with rows of
Chinatrees. Broad Street is about half a mile
long*

slrech *
Sir:-*-In compliance with your request I will state as
briefly as possible, the particulars of my disease, and the
unsactifesful'efforts to eiiecta cure, and final restoration
to he a (ill. The suffering afflicted wlrQ peruse rny stale
nient, may perhaps, (under the dispensations ot Provi
dence) be eventually benefited thereby.
About,the middle of April, 1883, 1 was seized with
severe arid not unfrequently, excruciating pains in my
limbs, attended with burning and increased fever until
its violence eventually confined me to toy bed, so that
a kind of mongrel complaint threatened the must
serious , consequences. Respectable Physicians prp
nouneedjhe same to have risen from impurity of ihc blood,
cdld in my limbs, suppressed secretionof bile,&c. Cathar
tics and other medicines were administered, but they af
forded me no relief; fever continued, and at this stage of
my disease, ray apprehensions were increased by nuttier,
ous excrescences, of uncommon size and virulence, the a
king out on my left thigh and back ; my eyes became in
flamed, and the pains in my limbs, if possible, more in
tense; my strength was completely prostrated; and such,
in short, was my suffering condition, that Death itself
would have been as welcome as the precursor ot imme
diate relief. In this situation I remained fur some
inonihs; tire victim of medical experiments and their
bad effects, resorted to, in vain, to effect a cifre. My
eyes were inflamed —the sight of one of them became
contracted, and I was incapable of seeing any object.
In this hopeless state, and yet irresolute, I thought of
discharging my Physician, and resuming myself to fate,
and permitting the disease to take its own coarse;
when a friend; by constant importunities (resisted by
me for some time, doubting its efficacy: strongly ad
vised and finally prevailed upon me to make use of your
medicine, as d harmless expefirrient that might be pro
ductive es much good. Under these circumstances I
applied to you ; since which, with the use ol a lew bottles
> of your invaluable Catholicon, and the outward applica
tion of your Eye Water, I have regained nay wanted
healthful appearance, the sight of*one of rny
eyes, amt partially of the other, and my appetite. 1 am
now in the enjoyment of complete health, with the slight
exception above all tilled to—the loss of one eye may, or
may not. prove to bp?.fefmnhent; and if it should, I shall
ascribe the misfortune so• former.injudicious--treatment
—to the use of mercury with which my system has been
surcharge d— to., injurious .outward Mud jmpheai
tions prescribed by irfy Pliysicican—the of Which
.exhibited themselves, perhaps, too late to be remedied.
I therefore attribute the recovery of my health to the use

JjL under the superintendence of the subscriber on
tlie first Monday in January next. The proprietors of
this Institution,-impressed with the belief that there is no
place in the Southern country, which comb;lies more ad
vantages far a permanent school, are resolved to neglect
no means jo render it. in the highest degree useful, and
worthy ol public confidence and ’patronage. With this
view, rhey bave determined, at much expense, to alter
and improrc the buildings in such manner, as to afford
bvery accommodation both to tiiVtesdiers and pupils.
To those who are acquainted with the location, it is im
.necessary to say, that the.climate io as pure as in any
section of the Southern country. Toe health of the
place is prtiverbial/ ’Bo for as the advantages of good
society may be considered as giving it a claim to-public
encouragement, it is believed there is.no Seminary,
which, in this respect, stands upon bi_h -r ground. Be
lieving it to be of the highest importance to the pupil,
both as it respects his moral deportment and literary ad
vancemcntj that ho should be as much as possible under
the imitififinte tuition of tlie Teachers,- arrangements
have beeninade, at no small expense., by the subscriber,
to accommodate with board, in his own family, those
pupils wlutse parents and guardians may wish to avail

the teach els will be able to devote ibetr whole, time,
both in am. out of school, to the instruction of their pu

if desired,to commence with advantage the study of any
of tlie learned professions. H iving been many years
engaged as a Teacher in the State,arid his peculiar mode
of teaching, having proved-eminently, succe: fful, the

TO THE PUBLIC,
itow true it is, that modern Physicians, in their ambi
tion to excel in their profession; to explore the vast fields
of science by the aid of chemistry, and seek out new re
medial agents, in short to arrive at perfection in their
practice by means of art alorle, —entirely overlook and
'neglect, as beneath their notice, the rich and bounteous
stores of medicine, which the Almighty has caused to
spring out of the earth in every clime! And how much
more true it is, that while the American Physician looks
to foreign countries for many of his most common and ne
cessary 0 articles, perpetually changing as they are, at the
dictate of fashion or folly, he is surrounded in his own
country with an endless prolusion ot medical plants,
sufficient to answer any indication in disease, or to cure
any curable disorder :—and yet he is ignorant ot their
virtues, and they are suffered to “ waste their healing on
the desert air.”
The effects of vegetable medicines upotl the system
are temporary —those of minerals lasting; The former
exert their effects and pass off—the latter, mercury in
particular, act chtemically upon the solids,decomposing
the bones, and uridennining the constitution by .a slow
and sure destruction.
The congeniality, efficiency and safety of vegetable
remedies over mineral, may bo estimated by contrasting
the ancient practice with the modern; or, to tiring it nioro
immediately under our own observation, the Indian pi ac
tive with that of the whites. Who, in America, hasnot
known or heard of repeated instances wherein some dc
crepid, unpretending female Indian, by means of her
simple remedies alone, has effected the most, rapid and
astonishing bares, after the whole Materia Medica of
the coinmdh practice; directed in the most skilful man
ner, has failed f And who has not been surprised at
beholding the comparative ease and facility with which
the Indian frees himself from any disease, and at the
almost total absence of chronic diseases among them ?
Who has, ever heard of an Indian with a constitution
broken and ruined by ill treatment ! And can a doubt
exist, that this happy exemption of the savage Irorn most
of the ills which the flesh of civilized man is heir to, is
chiefly owing to the rhorc genial and safe remedies which
he employs ? This astonishing difference in success, i
a fair exemplification of the infinite superiority ot the
simple and safe means of cure which God has created
for the benefit of his children, over those which the
■pride and the art of .Hian have invented.
From a long residence among a portion of the abori
ginal inhabitants of this country, and an intimate _ ac
quaintance with the fficthods of cure hi some ot their
most successful practitioners, the proprietor «t “ The
tVcifiVidsKpowerful and favorite remedies. From these
he selected such as were moat efficacious and appropri
ate, and after various-experiments to test their principles
and strength, he has combined them in the term here
presented, a’S the most perfect and beneficial lor the pur
pose for which it is recommended.
The proprietor offers this preparation to the public,
with the consciousness that he is placing within its rcach
a remedy capable oI relieving many ol his afflicted lellow
beings who are suffering under the various chronic and
obstinate-coinplaints to which it is applicable. To such
it will prove of incalculable value, as the means, and in
many cases the only nir.ans of relieving their sufferings,
and restoring them once more to health and happiness.
This not offered as a.bonimon ffe'niedy, that may per
chance be equally good with many others now in use,
■lhvt as one which is capable of saving life in many ex
treme cases, when all the usual remedies fail. This it
lias done repeatedly ; and this is the reputation it hits un
tamed wherever it has been introduced.
it is only about three years since this preparation was
first presented to tiic public : but in that short space of
time, some hundreds ot persons might ho found, who
would solemnly declare that they believed that their lives
were saved c-y it, and in most-cases after they had tried
many and perhaps all the common remedies in vain.
Wherever it is known it is rapidly coming into uses and
| this affords the most Substantial and codvincing'pr&oT ot
j its merits.
The value of the Pandcea is most conspicuous in those
! long standing and obstinate syphilitic and scrofulous
affections which have defied all other rcrhddies, and par
ticularly in those cases where mercury haS been so lav
ishly used as to cause distressing pains in the bones, no
-1 dee, mercurial ulbers, derangement-of the digestive or
j earis, &c. These it completely removes; and in all ca
| ses it entirely eradicates the disease and the effects of
I mercury, renovates the constitution, and leaves the pa
j tient sound and well. In RhcutUatisms and in ulcerated
j sore throat, its happy effects are not less apparent, giving
almost immediate relief.
Taken in proper doses. Tire Indian’s Panacea ope
rates as an alterative and detergent; a diaphoretic, diu
retic and laxative; an antispasmodic and anodyne; and in
proper cases, ?.s a stomachic and cmirienagogue. Gen
erally expressed, it increases all tiic Secretions dhd ex
cretion, gives tone to Hie stomach, and excites action in
the glands in a partictiiar manner. From these princi
ples its operation may be understood.
This medicine has been found highly useful ih many
ambiguous diseases not here specified, and it has been
used with wonderful success as A Spring ami Fall pari,
fir, bv those who arc subject u» complaints of the chest,
and whose constitutions require new vigor. .Such per
sons will do well to use two or three bottles in small
doses. Whenever a diet drink is considered necessary,
this Panacea, taken in a small dose, will answer all its
purposes, in much less time, at less expense, and in a
far more agreeable manner, than the common diet drink.
The following certificates, out of hundreds similar
which might be procured, are given to show tlie effect of
Ths In wan’s Panacea, in the various complaints therein
mentioned ; and also to exhibit in the most satisfactory
manner its superiority over the sjrups in common use.

j I was seized, about three years since, with a distres
j sing Rheumatism, caused by taking a severe cold while
! under the influence of mercury, and which has disabled
i[ me from business nearly ever since. During this peri
od I have been a patient in the Marine Hospital in this
city, upwards of four months, and nearly the same length
ol time in the Baltimore Hospital, and tried almost every
remedy, with little benefit. On the 16th of February
l ist, r.t that time scarcely able to move about upon crut
ches, I commenced the use of 'The Indian’s Panacea.

This may certify, that in the fall of 1825,1 was seiz
ed by a swelling in my neck and lacc, which afterwards
ulcerated and became large gastly ulcers in my Heck.
After trying several physicians to no advant; ge, I went
to Philadelphia, and placed myself under the care of
Drs. Physic and Beach, when, after repeated salivations
to no effect, I was pronounced totally incurable. After,
wards I took twenty bottles nf Sic aim's Panacea, and
i
f right buttles of Potter's Catholicon, with no material
benefit. Despairing oflife, which had now become a
burden tame, I returned to my parents in New-\ork,
and gave myself up to a lingering death, nearing of the
success of The Indian's Panacea, however, in cases si
milar to inv own, I was persuaded to try it as a last re
sort. To rny great surprise, as well as satisfaction, I
sdDn found myself rapidly recovering, and upon taking
seven bottles, the ulcers healed'and I became perfectly
well in the course ®; two months, and have remained so
ever since. I make this statement and wish it published
for the benefit ot those who tire suffering under similar
scrofulous or syphilitic affections, that they may know

tho universal resort of the afflicted here, as it has dor. in
other places. For the further sutisiaction of those who

IR. It came safe to ham!, am! if you-ai- a parent, you
can »,iviivc ui my joy, when i inform you that my son
who lias for the last six months suffered hvery pain from
the Rheumatism which was possible for a human being
to bear, lias been entirely cured by that Elixir. I had
mourned over him and hud given him up to be a cripple
for life and all the fond expectations 1 had anticipated from
hint appeared to be blasted forever. But now to sq£ hiiri
walking about free from pain, n r ml daily gaining strength,,
gives nie mo’ru pleasure than J ban express. 'Several of
my neighbors nave experienced immediate relief. In
only one instance have I known it to fail, and that was a
most hopeless one ; still he thinks he has experienced
benefit enough from it to induce him to persevere longer
in the nSe ofit, as he has not yet given it a sufficiently
fair trial. If this communication can be of any service'
to my fellow beings i freely give my consent that yoil
should make such use of it as you think conducive to
that end. 1 remain ever your much obliged friend,

■pf Certify that my son Thomas Mitchell; jr. aged 15
jicars, has been troubled for Eight years last past
with the Rheumatism, and lor the last three years has
been unable to help himself; his pain was very severe,
so that he could not be moved ‘ without great agony:
his limbs were paralyzed an 1 drawn up and he presented
an object hopeless to all that knew him. I resorted to
several Physicians for relief for him, without effect?

much relieved and by continuing it to the fourth bottle,
has entirely removed tlie pain, his flesh is restored ana
ho is now enjoying good health. I would in all case*
