! THE WESTERN CONTINENT^
A Southern Family Nevisjtaper of the largest size,
published every Saturday iti the city of Baltimore,
by Samuel Smith 4* Co., Edited by W. T.
Thompson, author of ‘‘Major Jones'
Courtship ,” Chronicles of Pine
tAlle, 1 ’ sc. fyc. |
Terms—Two Dollars,in advance.
WK have long regarded it as a most humiliating re {
flection upon the South, that no professedly rieu i
tral family journal has yet been sustained vv thin her bor- |
| tiers; We have tested the experiment whether such a
. paper could not be supported at the immediate South, 1
and though not wholly unsuccessful, our experience has 1
taught us that the papers of thi£ class published in the j
| large Northern cities, possess advantages over those of |
! the country, which, in a treasure, d- fy compe ition. Hut 1
; here the case is different. Baltimore, standing as t does i
I on tile IroutiCr of the Southern States, is yet near enough I
[ to the great commercial, literary and political emporium, !
: to be included in the neighborhood of great American
j cities, and to enjoy all the advantages, as a radiating >
i point, which are possessed by 7 either Philadelphia, Boston !
; or New York. A paper issued from Baltimore has all the
: facilities for obtaining the latest literary intelligence, as
i well as the current literature of the day, foreign ami do
| raestic, that are enjoyed by the journals of the Northern
i cities. The Wbstern Continent is as large, as cheap,
j and can he better adapted to the wants and tastes of South-
I ern readers, than those Northern papers which now draw ■
j so large an amount of their patronage front the Southern ;
public.
Entertaininglhese views, we have looked with confi- j
; deuce to the success of the Continent. Eight month’s J
: experience has tended to strengthen that confidence, and ‘
I now we enter upon its publication with a firnl conviction !
1 that all that is necessary to secure for it a circulation i
1 equal to that of its Northern cotemporaries, is a faithful |
and energetic devotion of our best abilities to make it a •
useful and entertaining Family Journal. It is our de- 1
sign to make the Western Continent emphatically a
Southern family paper, that may be read with interest
atid profit by every member of a Southern family.—
With this view, we shall draw for our literary depart
ment, from the best sources,such matter as will interest
and entertain the mind, without offending the taste or
' corrupting the morals of our readers.
Pairis will he taken to give the latest intelligence on all 1
subjects of interest to the general reader, to the exclu- \
sion of the vast amount of local matter, such as personal
gossip, police reports, theatrical and other criticism-,
which make up so large a portion ofthe staple of some of
the popular weeklies ofthe North. In a word, though ’
we shall endeavor to make our paper interesting to all, ;
our chief aim shall he to adapt it to the wants and tastes 1
of the people ofthe South and South-West, upon whom,
and these of our own city who are disposed to sustain
such a journal, we must mainly depend for support.
R lying more upon the intrinsic merits of our paper,
than on any promises w r e might make in a prospectus,
we will close by appealing to the readers of the South 1
and West for u share of that patronage which they so |
liberally bestow upon the overgrown weeklies of the 1
North.
Terms—The Western Continent is printed on a mam- 1
moth sheet of3o hy 44 inches, on fair type, and securely
mailed to subscribers, at Two Dollars per annum, in
advance. Three copies will be sent for $5, or Seven
copies for §lO.

TIIE W AS I [ INGTON UNION.
rgIHE “DAILY UNION” will be published, as here-
Ji. tofure.at §lO per annum, payable in advance. Its
character hitherto lias been almost exclusively political.
We purpose in future to devote a portion ol its columns
to domestic news of general interest, and to miscellane
ous literature, which, without impairing its political in
fluence, may render it the more acceptable to an ex
tended class of readers.
i The “SEMI-WEEKLY UNION” will he published
ever} 7 Monday and Thursday, during the recess of Con
gress, at §5 per annum. This contains all the m itter
contained in Ih Daily Union” except local advertise
ments. During the sessions of Congress three numbers,
instead of two, will be issued, without any extra charge
to subscribers.
ENLARGEMENT OF THE WEEKLY UNION.
The “WEEKLY UNION” is issued every Saturday; j
and as arrangements are in progress to enlarge it to
near double its present size, we shall soon he enabled to
give nearlyevery article which may appear in the daily i
and semi-weekly editions, at the extremely low rale of
§2. We propose also to give, in this edition, a complete
synoptical summary of the proceedings in both houses 1
of Congress—thus rendering the “Weekly Union” a j
most Valuable channel of information to all classes of '
our country. But, to remunerate us for this enterprise,
au extensive subscription list is absolutely indispensa
ble;
Weseiie this opportunity to add that some delaV has
taken place in putting our paper to press, which has ,
prevented its early delivery to our readers, and conse
quently circumscribed its circulation. We shall make
arrangements to remedy this defect, and to obviate this
objection. After the present week wetrustthat nocom- j
plaint will be made upon this subject.
CONGRESSIONAL REGISTER.
In addition to the foregoing, we have re.-olved to pub- 1
lish, during the sessions of the national legislature, a
“Congressional Register to be issued weekly, and to
contain a full report of the daily proceedings and do- |
bales of both houses. Indeed, the arrangements which
we have made with the very best, corps of reporters will
enable us to give even more full and extended reports
than we have produced during this session, superior as
we claim them to lie toany preceding ones. The Regis
ter will he made up from ihc daily reports in the “Union,”
carefully revised by an experienced editor.and will con
stitute acornplete and authentic record ofthe. session.
An appendix will bo added, uniform with the Register, i
and to be sent gratuitously to subscribers, comprising a
li-lof the acts passed during the session, with a synopsis I
of their eon tents, and a reference, when necessary, to pro- !
vious legislation. This wi 1 form the most complete his- '

COLLETON IIITTEKS.
FOR DYSPEPTICS.
THESE BITTERS are purely a vegetable
compound, and are offered to the pub
lic from a principle of benevolence, under the full- :
, est conviction that they will be found a safe and |
sovereign remedy for Dyspepsia. They have been |
j triumphantly tested not only by some of the most |
: respectable families in the State, who have furnish
‘ ed ample testimony as to their decided excellence,
I but also by the proprietor, who, lor ten years, suf
fered all the gloom incident to that distressing dis
ease. They possess the peculiar excellence denied
to most other Bitters, of not proving injurious by
1 continued use. They contain not a single delete
rious ingredient, and, as seen from the directions
w hich accompany each bottle, may be given with
j entire safety to an infant in the month
11 the Colleton is taken regularly and persever
! ingly, (vv Inch is highly important in st übborn cases.)
; they will, soon alter the use of a few bottles, be
found to act on the system like a charm—imparting
vigor to the stomach, bracing the nerves, cleans"- j
ing the liver, promoting digestion, increasing the
i appetite, strengthening the chest and voice, reliev
; ing pains, cramps, and stitches in the breast. They
are also mostexcellent for cholera morbus, habit ual
constipation,sea-sickness, nausea. proceeding from
whatever cause. Jn cases of general debility, it :
i has proved one of the best remedies, ami is there- ;
j fore highly recommended to elderly people, literary 1
i gentlemen,students,and others ofsedentary habits.
! Taken in small doses frequently through the day,
they have checked the most violent diarrhoea, and
' likewise been administered wiih the happiest effect
| in cholera infantum.
In all the foregoing complaints, these Bitters w ill
be found effectual if persisted in, and laken accord
ing to the directions which accompany each bottle.
And although it has been testified by several that
they are excellent in many others, yet in none other I
; than those hbove enumerated, is the proprietor will- !
ing to vouch for their efficacy. They w ere prima
rily and solely intended to cure Dyspepsia.
The Colleton Bitters have been eight years be
fore tlie public; and in consequence of the incrcas- j
ing demand for this valuable medicine, the proprie
tor lias entered largely into the business—bottles
are procured having “Colleton Bitters”moulded in
them—they are also numbered, sealed and stamp- J
ed with an appropriate motto. Price $1 per bottle

rjpHlS medicine has, in many thousand instances,
t brought health and returiling vigor to the weak and
languid frame. Its operation extends itself to the remo
test transactions of t lie general system, and consists in re
moving diseased action in the absorbing and secretin«r
vessels.
The blood contains the elemeutsof the whole animal
structure—tiesh and fibre,glands, muscles,tendons, the
nails,the hail, and even the hones themselves, are all
sustained by the blood. Well, then, may it hecalledthe
stream of life. In proportion to the purity of thud will
be that of the suits lance 1., to which it is continually chang
ing. Corrupthlood instead of producing healthy flesh, is
likely enough to develop sores and ulcers. When these
appear, whetheriu the specific form of scrofula,in ail its

disfiguring, vaneiy ,rheumatism,bilious disorders,general
relaxation and debility,and a host of cumplaintsarising
from disordered secretions there is nodetergent,it is be

from which they spring and effect a radicalcure,as this

with Scrofulous Fleers, Dyspepsia, Ac., and recently

BAH.EYSBURG. Va.,Dec.l?lh, 1815.
Messrs A. B. if D. Sands —Before 1 commenced using
yourSarsaparillamy sufferings wereahnost past expres
sion, my throat was completely ulcerated,! had a dreadful
cough, and there were frequently weeks together that 1
could not speak above a whisper: and besides, the ir.ffa
mution from my throat extended into my head, so that my j
heat ing was very much impaired. Aftertaking theriarsa- 1
pal ilia ashort timeiny health improved and my throat is |
now well. lam as free from cough and tightness of the '
chest as lever was, and can hear quite distinctly. My
throat has been well about three months, the cure of w Inch
hasbeen effected entirely by the use of your Sarsaparilla.
Your friend, LOUISA 11. BEVAN.
NEW YOUK, Apri122,1845.
Messrs. A B. if D Sands — Gents: Feeling it a duty to
you and the community at large, I send you this certifi
cate of the virtues of your Sarsaparilla, that others who
are now suffering may have their confidence established
and useyour medicine without delay.
I wastroubled with a severe ulcer on my ankle, which
extended halfway up to the knee, discharging very offen
sive matter, itebiag, burning, and depriving me often of
my reslat night,and very painful to bear.
1 wasrecominended to useyour medicine by Mr. lames
McConnel, who had been cured by it, and after using five
bottles I wasentirelycured.
I have deferred sending you this certificate one year
since thecurc was effected, in orderto ascertain with cer
tainty whether it was a permanent cure, and it now gives
me the greatest pleasure to add that I have neither seen
nor felt the slightest re-appearance of it, and that lain
entirel vsound. Yours,

MOBILE, ALA. N0v.28,1845.
Messrs. Sands —l deem it an act of justice to myself j
and the community at large, to relate the following facts I
which occurred in our neighborhood in the latter part of j
July last. JaueC , uyoung girl aged fourteen years, !
wasuttlicted with an immense sure on the middle of her
back,which defied all the treatment of medical skill. As 1
she was a friend of our family, I employed all the means in
my power in endeavoring to relieve her, but in vain. At ;
laslsomeperson mentioned tome your Sarsaparilla, and I
I immediately procured two bottles of Messrs. Mosely &.
Tucker, your Agents in this city, which I gave to her. I
called to see her the next day and she told me she had ta- 1
ken two doses and felt very much relieved. 1 laughed im
moderately at this, but she said it was really so, and, gen
tlemeu.in a word, in two weeks from the time she com
menced using it, there was neither sign nor appearance
of where thesorc had been. Yours.respectfully,

PATENT MEDICINES,
j JAYNE’S ALTERATIVE. I
valuable preparation combines all the
medicinal virtues of those articles, which
long experience has proved to po*sem the most safe
and efficient alterative and deobstruent properties,
fur the cure of Scrofula King's Evil, White Swell
j infs Ulcers; Scrofulous, Cancerous and Indolent
Tumours; Mercurial and Syphilitic Affections,
Rheumatism. Gout. Srurvey, Neuralgia or Tic-
Douloureux, Cancer. Goitre or Bronchoeele, [swelled
Neck,] Enlargements of the Bones. Joints, Glands
or Ligaments or of the Ovaries. Liver. Spleen. Kid
neys. <£-fr. All the diseases of the Skin, such as
Tetter. Ringworm. Biles. Pimples. Carbuncles fyc..
Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint. Nervous Diseases,
j Dropsical Swellings, Constitutional Disorders and
diseases originating from a depraved or Impure
state of the Blood or other fluids of the body.
The proprietor of this Alterative would most re
spectfully assure the public that he has not offered
this preparation to their notice without due reflec
tion. and close and rigid study, nor until after
i twelve years’ experience had manifested its great
superiority over every other article of the kind.—
and he now recommends it with confidence, fully
believing that the above combination of medicine
will effectually eradicate from the system a class
of disease some of which have heretofore been con
sidered i ncu ruble.
He has prescribed it in almost every variety of
disease and with unparalleled success, especially
in cutaneous affections, cancerous, scrofulous and ®4
scorbutic diseases, and diseases originating from
j obstruction or enlargement of the glands or impuri
-1 ly of the blood.
Cancer ami Cancerous Tumors.
Tie has used this preparation in upwards of twen
ty well defined cases of cancer and cancerous tu
mors, and in every case but one with perfect and
I entire success.
Bronchoeele or Boitre, (Swelled IVeck.)
He has prescribed it in over a hundred cases of
goitre, and it has never failed in a single instance
to completely remove the disease. .Not a solitary
case of failure. All were cured.
The success he has met with in curing broncho
cele and cancerous affections has convinced him
that these dangerous and horrible diseases may be
removed with as much certainly as Fever ami
Ague. He does nut wish to be understood as say
ing that they can be cured as soon as Fever and
Ague, but with as much certainty; and further, that | '
he has good reason for believing that this prepara
tion will not only < ure these diseases when formed,
hut that it destroys the virus or poisonous principle e m
lurking in the system, from which that peculiar
class of diseases, as well as that ol'scrofula emanate.
Scrofula—King’s Evil.
This preparation has been used in numerous cases
ofScrofula, King’s Evil, and scrofulous swellings,
and always with the most deci ed success.
Skill Diseases.
lie has prest-ribed it in a great variety of cutane
ous affections, and found it successful in curing salt
rheum, or tetter, biles, blotches, pimples,morphew
and jaundiced skin, &c.
Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint.
It has been used in numerous cases of liver com
plaint and Dyspepsia, and with the happiest effect.
Tic- Douloureux.
It has been used in several cases of Neuralgia,
and in every case it was successful.
Rheumatism.
This preparation has been prescribed in a great
many cases of chronic rheurnaism, and in every
casein which it was used until the system became
affected by the medicine, the disease was removed. Si
Bout.
A number of cases of gout have been cured by
this preparation. In one of these cases, the man
had been afflicted with it so severely for thirteen
years as to entirely disable him from business, and
for five months immediately previous to his taking
the Alterative he had been confined to his room;
but before he had finished the third bot’le, he was
enabled to walk about the streets and soon after re
turned to his business, from which Ite had so long
been excluded by his afflictions.
Dropsical Swellings,
This medicine increases the {towers of digestion,
excites the absorbents info healthy exercise, by
which watery or calcareous depositions, and all
unnatural enlargements are reduced. It imparts
tone and vitality to the whole system, removing
sick and morbid headaches,giddiness, wandering
pains and nervous affections.
In fact, in every case where the medicine has
been taken for some t ime, no matter for wh t pur
pose, the general health of the patient has always
been improved by it.
in conclusion, the proprietor would say that some
of the most astonishing cases of skin diseases, can
cer. bronchoeele, and scrofula, have been cured by
this medicine, that have ever been recorded; hut
want of room in this sheet precludes their publica
tion at tills lime.
CANCER.
An interesting case cured by Jayne's Alterative.
In the spring of 1831. a cancerous tumor appear
ed in thertsht breast of Mrs. Phoebe, wile of Peter
Stretch, of Salem, N. J. it wasexamined by many
Physicians, and was considered hy all as cancerous,
and besides bore ail the characteristic marks of
one. All probable means of removing it were used
without the slightest benefit. It continued to in
crease both in size and painfnlness, until all hope
of saving her life, but by a painful operation, was
abandoned, which, after a consultation of eminent
Physicians, was performed, Jan. Ist, 1832, by Dr.
John Rhea Barton, assisted by Dr. Redman, the
proprietor, and two other medical genl'emen. The
whole and entire right breast was renDO"*»d, and af
ter examination of the tumor, was piono inced by
ail present a cancer of the most malignant charac
ter. In about three months, after enduring incredi
ble sufferings, she was enabled, though broken in
spirit, to get about again. Bbe remained feeble,
and her general health was exceedingly bad, as in
deed it had been for several years before. In the
spring of 1837, upwards of five years after her breast
had been removed, a painful tumor made its ap
pearance on the right side, immediately over the
part formerly occupied by tlie nipple of the right
breast, previous toils removal. This tumor steadi
ly increased for several months, and became so
painful as to deprived her of rest. The glands un
der the right arm were enlarged; and scirrhus, and
a hard, irregular, and at times painful tumour, ap
peared in the left breast. No operation could now
arrest the disease. Indeed her whole bodyappear
ed to be a mass of disease. Her case was consid
ered hopeless. .Bhe was of a very scrofulous habit,
both her parents having died of Pulmonary con
sumption. The experiment was now made with
tliis Alterative. It was at first given in small
doses, three times a day, and the doses very gradu
ally, but steadily increased daily, as long as she
took it, which was about six months, and the skin
over and around the tumour was wet night and
morning with a strong solution of lodine and Hy
driodate Potash. The tumour continued increas
ing in size for about six weeks, and was at times
very painful, when the pain suddenly ceased alto
gether, and the tumour swelled out at the base,and
became soft, and then began to diminish, and con
tinued gradually decreasing until every vestige of
disease was removed. The tumour in her left
breast, and those in her right axilla were also dis
persed. No cancerous or scrofulous tumours ever
appeared afterwards; and her general health, which ,
had been so bad for fourteen years as to make life a
burthen, was effectually and permanently restored.
The proprietor is in possession of the diseased
breast, and those who choose may examine it. He
would also say that he could mention over a dozen
cases equally interesting, wherein his Alterative
has subdued cancerand cancerous tumours, but he
has not room hereto record them.
Mrs. Sarah Young, of Quinton’s Bridge,N. J.,
had a goitrous tumour on the left side of her w ind
pipe, a> large as the half of an orange, w hich was
cured by using this Alterative for about four
months.
Miss R S , South Fourth-street, Phila
delphia, was also cured of an enlargement of the
throat, which filled the entire space, between the
chin and breast-bone, and extended around on
each side of her neck to behind her ears, and from
her ears to her shoulders, and produced awful de
formity. It commenced growing when she was
but five years old, and continued gradually to in
crease until she was nineteen, at whicli time she,
commenced using this Alterative, which she took
for seven months, which entirely reduced the en
largement; and she has now as smooth and pretty
a neck as can be found. The proprietor is not at
liberty to give her name in print, but will refer per>
sons to her.
