So celebrated lias Dr. M’Lane’s Vermifuge, prepared by Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., become, that it is re garded as the only specific cure for worms. Families should never be without a supply cf it. At this season par ticularly, when worms arc so troublesome, and frequently fatal among children, parents should be watchful ; and on the first appearance of those distressing symptoms which warn ss of their presence, at once apply this powerful and efficacious remedy We are confident that it only requires atrial to convince all that it richly merits the praises that have been lavished upon it. It is safe and infallible. Vo Runes of certificates can be produced showing its grea 1 medical virtues. Persons will be careful to ask for DR. McLAXE'S •CELEBRATED VERMlFUGE,manufactured by FLEMING BRO ,of Pittsburg, Pa. All other Vermifuges in compari ;son, are worthless. Dr. McLane’s genuine Vermifuge, also his celebrated Liver Pills, can now be had at all respectable Drug Stores.

Wood’s Hair Restorative, for producing hair on Bald Heads, and restoring Gray Hair to its Natural color. fTMIIS astonishing and unequalled preparation has never X failed to produce a growth on Bald Heads, when used according to the directions, and turn hair back to its orig. inal color, after having become grey, and reinstate it in all its original health, lustre, softness, and beauty. Removes at once all scurf, and unpleasant itching, scrofula, erup tions and feverish heat from the scalp. It also prevents the hair from becoming unhealthy and fulling off, and hence acts as a perfect Hair invigorator and Tonic. A gentleman of Boston writes to his friends in New Bed ford thus: To your inquires I would reyly, that I first commenced using Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative, my hair was almost white and had been so for the last ten years, and it was very thin on the top of my head, and very loose, and pulled out freely; but I found before I had used all of the second bottle, (which was eight weeks,) my hair was entirely changed to its original color, (lightbrown) and is now free from dandruff',and quite moist. 1 have had my hair cut 5 or 6 times since the change, and have never seen anything like white hair starting from the roots: and it is now as thick as it ever was, and does not come out at all. It has prevailed in my case all that I could wish to ask. July 1,1855. Yours &c. Gardiner, Maine, June 22.1854. Dear Sir.- I have used two bottles of Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative, and can truly say, it is the greatest discovery of the age, for restoring and changing the hair.— Before using it, I wasas gray as a man of seventy. My hair has now attained its original color. You can recommend it to the world, without the least fear, as my case was one of the worst kind. I) N MURPHY. St. Louis, March 7 1854. Prof. Wood: My hair commenced falling off some three or four years since, and continued to do so, untill 1 became quite bakh I tried all the popular medicines ot the day, but lo no effect. At last, 1 was induced to try your celebra ted Hair Restorative, and am happy to say, it is doing won ders. I have now a fine growth of young hair, and cheer fully recommend its use to all similarly afflicted. A. C. WILLIAMS, 133 Second street. Rasin Mich., Aug. 2,1855. This is to certify, that one year ago, I was quite gray, and my liair so thin upon the top of my head, that I feared its entire loss. In this condition, I applied for and obtain ed a bottle of Prot. Wood’s'Restorative,’ and before I had used one quart bottle, the gray hairs had entirely disap peared and it had thickened up, so ns to he full as usual and it assumed a glossy appearance, appearently more beautiful than ever it was before. Ido therefore, cheerfully recom mend it to all those ladies who value a beautiful head of hair. I will aise state that I uso it now, occasionally, for its healthy and beautifying effects. S Alt AH J.

March 5, 1856 4-1 ....tf ....... ■ HOWE’® COTTON HARVESTER, FOR PICKING COTTON IN THE FIELD. THIS valuable machine, second only to the invenfvbn of the Cotton Gin, is destined to produce a remarkable change in the method of gathering cotton fr om the field It will do the work of from three to five hands in picking : cotton from the stalk, and is evidently a labor-saving ffia ■ chine. Its benefit to the Planter is incalculable. It picks the cotton clean and free from trash, leaves it in excellent condition for ginning—obviates the necessity of exposing the hands to heavy dews, rains and cold, and from the ra pidity of its Work, will enable the Planter to prepare his crop for market at an early day, leaving him time for the improvement of his land, houses, enclosures and general arrangement of the Plantation. Jt is light, weighing about 8 pounds, is suspended by a stra ’ o-,'or the shoulders,and is operated by fiieans of a crank turned uY the’ hand or fingers. The simnlirity of this mar chine is its ioadiug feature—it is not liable to g&t out of or der, and any nfegiO of ordinary capacity, is competent ttf use it. One harvester, filth proper care, will last a scri& of years. We are now’ selling State and County Eights for the man ufacture and use of the above machine. Any infomation relative thereto,can be obtained by calling on A. Wildbur, General agent for Georgia, Florida, North and South Caro lina, at his office, 111 Bay Street, Savannah, Ga., or at the stores of the subscriber, 135, Congress Street, Savaniialr, Ga., or 125 Meeting Street, Charleston, S.
