CONSUMPTION
SUCCESSFULLY TREATED,
BY' INHALATION OF MEPILATED VAPORS
JOHNSON STEWART ROSE, M. I).,
of tlm Royal College of Physicians,
and for years Senior Physician in the L mdon
Royal Infirmary, ti >r diseases of the Lungs.
In the treatment of Consumption by Inhalation.
I have obtained results wliieh warrant mein asserting
that it is now as curable as diseases of the Stomach
and Liver.
Breathing medicine directly into the Lungs is
certainly'the rational tnv de of attacking the dis
ease. Like many other great and beneficent discov
eries. its seems strange why stu-li treatment was
not resorted to long ago. Where there is life there
is assuredly hope for the most seemingly hopeless
cases, as throughout all the stages of this insidious
disease, the wonderful and beneiicient effects of his
treatment are soon apparent. In cases also of
Bronchitis, Asthma. &c., the inhaling of powders
and vapors has been eminently successful, and to
those.suffering under any of the above named com
plaints, 1 can guarantee a speedy relief. 1 have
pleasure in referring to 100 names, residents of
New York and neighborhood, who have been re
stored to vigorous health; about one-third of tho
above number, according to the patients’ own state
ments. were considered hopeless eases.
'Hie Inhaling- method is soothing, safe and speedy,
and consists in the administration of Medicines in
such a manner that they are conveyed into the
Lungs in the lbrni of vapor and produce their ac
tion ut the scat of disease. Its practical success is
destined to revolutionize the opinions of the medi
cal world, and establish the entire ourabililv of
Consumption.
Applicants will pleass to state if (hey have ever
bled from the Lungs; if they have lost'llcsh; have
cough, bight sweat-, and fever turns; what and
how much th-y expectorate; what the condition
of then 1 stomach and bow’els. The necessary Medi
chE-s. Apparatus, Ac., will be forwarder! to any part.

The llydromagcn is a valuable discovery for pro
tecting the feet from damp or eold, and thercfoic
a preventive of many Lung diseases, unihout any
doctoring whatever.' The Hydromagen is in the form
of a sole, and worn inside the boot or shoe. Its med
ical >d character is a powerful antidote to dcseasc.
For Gentlemen.it will be found agreeable, warm,
and healthy, to weal" in the coldest or rainiest weath
er, as the foot cannot become wet if the Hydromagen
is inserted. Ladies may wear the lightest soled boots
or shoes in the most-inclement weather with impuni
ty ; while Consumption, so prevalent among the
young of our country, may be thwarted by their gen
eral adoption. They entirely supersede overshoes, as
the latter cause the feet to perspire in a very unheal
thy manner; and besides, are not dangerous wear .to
pedestrians in icy weather, like iiulia rubbers.—
While the latter cause the feet to appear extremely
large, the Ilydromngeii, being a mere thin slice of
cork prepared peculiarly, placed inside, does not in
crease the size of the boot, or cause the loot'to appear
untidy. To Children they are extremely valuable, as
they may engage in exercise witli comfort and heal
thy effects, TU'.r expense is so slight as to scarce
need mention: besides, those who patronize _ them
will f.iil tlieU' ifeaph/ doet-ofa hilU much diminified

As the Hydromagen is becoming more known, its
sale is increasing to an almost incredible extent . Last
year in London. Manchester, Birmingham, Liver
pool, Glasgow. Leeds, Dublin. Paris, Antwerp, Ham
burg, and Berlin, our sales reached 1,732,450, pairs

of Hecembcr next.
I'l'MlE undersigned having purchased from Messrs.
_L. Rufus Long it Cos., their entire interest in the
“JOKER & KNOW-NOTH I NO,” will, forthe next
year, publish it in Grecnesbioro’, Ga., WEEKLY,
under the above title, with new Type and on an
Enlarged sheet, should he meet with that encour
agement, which the old patrons of the paper are
able to extend to him, it will b? perceived that
the price of the paper will be the same, viz:—One
Dollar per annum in advance. (The “Joker &
Know-Nothing” was furnished at 50 cents for six
months.)
This step has been concluded upon, in compli
ance with the solicitation of numerous friends, who
believe the interest of the paper will be enhanced,
and its permanency more certainly secured by the
change.
Whilst the distinctive character of the paper as a
Budget of Fun, will be studiously observed, tlie
discussion os subjects of interest to the general read
er will be introduced us occasion may seem to jus
tify. Space will be deyoted’to Itenis of News, Ggn
eral Intelligence, &e„ &e.y—in fact, to every thing
which may amuse or instruct.
The Paper will be Independent in everything—
tint nothing calculated to injure individual reputation
shall be for one moment entertained: —nor will the
columns of tlie Paper be opened to any thing which
the most polite would consider the least indecorous
or depraved. No contribution will be noticed,
which is not accompanied by the real name and ad
dress of its author ; nor will t ha Publisher of others
concerned in the conduct of the Joker be in any
wise responsible for any article which may appear
in its columns.
All we want now, is NAMES of the 500 New and
paying Subscribers.—-The MONEY will do when
the first number ofthe Paper uppers.
If each Subscriber to the Joker & Know-Nothing,
will furnish us with TWO new names for “THE

Sir ASTLEY COOPER, Bart, M- D-,
TIIE EMINENT MEDICAL PRACTITIONER HAS LEFT A VAL
UABLE LEGACY TO TIIE "WORLD IN IIIS
Great Preventative of Consumption,
UNFAILING CURE AND PULMONARY DISEASES,
Without the use of Medicine.
Sir A. C., Bart, invented and advised the use of the
CHEST PKOTECTOH,
To all persons of all ages and conditions, as acer,
tain and a safe shield against those fearful diseeses,
Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma, Coughs, Colds
and other afflictions of the Lungs, which arise from
the exposed state ofthe chest, according to fashion.
and the continual changes of our climate.
“ The Protector,” is simply a chemically prepared
fur lined with silk and padded, which, suspended from
tlie neck, covers’the chest, in so agreeable a manner
that, once worn, it becomes a necessity and com
fort .
“ The Protector, ’’ although but recently introduc
ed into Ameri n is making rapid progress through
the United States, the Canadas, South America, and
the West Indies. It has for 11 long time been a staple
article, in England and on tlie continent of Europe,
while it has grown in many countries to the position
of an article of dress.
To demonstrate these facts enquire of any English
resident in your viciniy of his knowledge of the bene
ficial effects of wearing the Protector, without i:e
cqfrseto i>o< Tomxa of any kind. Tlie cost of wear
ing these articles is a mere trifle, and one will lust
some years. No one who values the health of him
self or his family will be without them. The Hospi
tals in this country are not alone recommending them
but rapidly introducing them. Ilarcourt, Bradley
& Cos., of London, and Manchester, England, were
originally entrusted with the manufacture of the
Protectors, by the lamented Dr. Coopci, and contin
ue to manufacture according to his original instruc
tions, and therefore recommend tli'os? who would
wear “ The Protectors,” to see to their being genuine.

BEG LEAVE to state to tlieir friends and cus
tomers, that they will, hereafter, ask the full
market, price, to-Wit: One dollar per hundred feet,
for all tiie lumber now in their yard. The fact that
lumber is not fresh-sawed does not deteriorate from
’t’s value, but rather adds to it—provided it is
Hound. We arc about making arrangements to ship
quite a quantity of lumber to Eatonton, und pile it
near the. depot, where we will sell scantling and
plank of various kinds, tit one dollar and thirty
cents per hundred feet, for Cash. If lumbe.* at the
-Mils in Putnam is worth one dollar and twenty-five
cents per hundred, it is worth the price we ask for
it, delivered in Eatonton.
We are still sawing uwiiv at the old stand estab
lished by W. W. <fc V. D.'Ross on the M. & G. R.
IE, wher. we are prepared to saw lumber at short
notice. Make out vour bills carefully, and "turn
them, so that we may be. certain the lumber will be
received when sawed and sent according to the bill.

containing Si 15 or $l2O. Eighty dollars were roll
ed up to itself, and in a separate division of the pock
et book. Tiie size of these bills are unknown to
me, as they were banded to me in a roll to carry to
Jus. 0. & J. C. Denham. The remaining money
.consisted of a §2O bill, a new-looking §lO bill, a §5
and I think some §1 bills. Also, there was one note
of Silvanius 1 ticks, for §llO, payable to me, given
about July St'n, 1854, due one day alter date, the
receipt of William A. Lane as attorney, for several
notes, a letter directed cither to .Tames C., or Jas.
C. & J. C. Denliam, and other papers not recollected.
The pocket book was made of light colored calf-skin,
and had a strop when new. From use it had become
dirty and dark. Any person finding and delivering
the pocket book and contents to me will be hand
