The present critical state of European affairs will
render these publications unusually interesting dur

crude speculations, and flying rumors of the daily
Journal, and the ponderous Tome of the future
historian, written after the living interest and ex
citement of the great political .events of the time
have passed away. It is to these Periodicals that
readers must look for the only really intelligible
and reliable history of current "events, and as such,
in addition to their well-established literary, scien
tific, and theological character, we urge them upon
the consideration of the reading public.
JSjf* Arrangements are now permanently made
for the receipt of Early Sheets from the British
Publishers, by which we are enabled to place all
our Reprints in the hands of subscribers, übout
as soon as they can be furnished with the foreign
copies. Although this involves a very large out

CONSUMPTION *
SUCCESSFULLY TREATED,
BY INHALATION OF MEDICATED VAPORS
—BY*—
JOHNSON STEWART ROSE, M. D.,
EL LOW of the Royal College of Physicians
and for years Senior Physician iu the Lmdon
Royal infirmary, for diseases of the Lungs.
In the treatment of Consumption by inhalation,
I haveobtained results which warrant me in asserting
that it is now as curable us diseases of the Stomach
and Liver.
Breathing medicine directly into the Lungs is
certainly the rational me de of attacking the dis
ease. Like many other great and beneficent discov
eries, its seems Btrunge why such treatment was
not resorted to long ago. W'licre there is life there
is assuredly hope lor the most seemingly hopeless
eases, as throughout all the stages of this insidious
disease, the wonderful and betiolieient effects of his
treatment are soon apparent. In eases also of,
Bronchitis, Asthma, &c.. the inhaling of powders
and vapors lias been eminently successful, and to
those suffering under any of the above named com
plaints, I can guarantee a speedy relief I have
pleasure in referring to 109 names, residonts of
Now York and neighborhood, who have been re
stored to vigorous health; about one-third of the
above number, according to the patients’ own state
ments, were considered hopeless cases.
The 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 form of vapor and produce their ac
tion at the seat of disease. Its practical success is
destined to revolutionize the opinions of the medi
cal world, and establish the entire curability of
Consumption.
Applicants will please to state if they have evei
bled from the Lungs; if they have lost flesh; have
cough, night sweats, and fever turns; what and
how much they expectorate; what the condition
of their stomach and bowels. The necessary Medi
cines, Apparatus, &e., will be forwarded to any part.
Five Dollars consultation fee.—Balance of fee pay
able only when the patients report themselves
convalescent.

One gentleman, troubled with Dyspepsia, who lias
purchased half a dozen of the Bitters, says: ‘ It is
the only article that lie has found that has afforded
him relief.’ Now he is in a fair way of recovery.”
Endlong A Sauuders, Buffalo, N. V., Dec. 20,
1850, said: “We know from experience, (having
used it in our owu families,) that Dr. Hooliand’s
German Bitters are all and more than they are re
commended to be.”
E. D. Baker, Jr., Sandy Hill, N. Y*., Jan. 18,
1851, said: “Everyone who uses the German Bit
ters speaks in the highest terms of them.”
E. W. Fox, Pulaski, N. Y., March 20, 1851, said:
“Your Bitters are now well introduced. 1 have
great confidence in them as a remedy, and shall

To all who use Liquor as a Medicine or as
a Beverage. —Physicians who prescribe Alcliolic
Liquors for medicinal purposes should give the pre
ference to Wolfe’s Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps*
1. It is manufactured at Schiedam, in Holland,
and exclusively in the factory of the proprietor, by
processes und from materials elsewhere unemployed
and unknown.
2. It is proved, by the repeated analysis of several
eminent chemists, to be entirely free from Hie per
nicious fusil oil which remains in every kind of
Liquor distilled from grain, and which is the cause
of the nervous and visceral derangement, serious
congestion, and mordid desire for habitual and in
temperate indulgence, which such liquors invariab
ly tend to superinduce.
3. It is proved, by the same unerring test, that
this Juniper Gin is not flavored with the coarse,
acrid and indigestible oil of juniper heretofore used,
hut with the specifically lighter, more volatile, aro
matic and medicinal of the two essential oils of the
Italian juniper berry, neglected by every other man-
ufacturer.
4. It is chemically proved to be absolutely pure
in its rectification—a quality obtained by an entire
ly new process, and which no other Holland Gin in
the world lias acquired.
6. It is proved by extensive medical experience
and testimony, to be an efficient us well us an agree
able remedy in many cases of incipient dropsy, grav
el, gout, chronic rheumatism, flatulence, colic, con
cretions ill the kidneys and biudder, dyspepsia,
fever and ague, general debility, sluggish circula
tion of the blood) deficient assimilation of food und
exhausted vital energy.
4. it is a most grateful and renovating cor
dial und when used as directed, never influmes
the system or induces inebriety, but tends rather to
subduo the latter frailty, by creating a dislike to
all inferior liquors. And it invariably corrects the
ill eti'eots of bad water, whether in swampy or
limestone districts. In all of these enumerated
qualities it has no rival in any market in the
world.

CHERRY PECTORAL.
VMONG the numerous discoveries Science has
made in this generation to facilitate the busi
ness of life, increase its enjoyment, and even pro
long the term of human existence, none can be
named of more real vulue to mankind than this con
tribution of Chemistry to the Healing Art. A vast
trial of its virtues throughout this broad country
has proven beyond a doubt that no medicine or
combination of medicines yet known can so surely
control and cure the numerous varieties of pulmo
nary diseases which have hitherto swept from our
midst thousands every year. Indeed, there is now
abundant reason to believe a remedy has at length
been found which coil he relied ’on to cure the
most dangerous affections of the lungs. Our space
here will not permit us to publish any proportion of
the cures effected by its use, hut we would present
the following, and refer further inquiry to my
American Almanac, which the agents belt w-named
will always be pleased to furnish tree, wherein are
full particulars, and indisputable proof of these
statements:

J. C. Ayer.— Dear Sir : My little son, four years
old, has just recovered from a severe attack of ma
lignant Scarlet f ever, his throat was rotten, and
every person that visited him pronounced him a
dead child. Having used your Cherry Teetotal in
California, in the winter of 1850, for a severe attack
of Bronchitis, with entire success, 1 was induced to
try it on my little boy. 1 gave .him a tea-spoonful
every three hours, commencing in the morning, and
by ten o’clock at night 1 found a decided change
for the better, and after three days use, lie was able
to eat or drink without pain.
Its use in the above-named disease will save many
a child from a premature grave, and relieve the anx
iety of many a fond parent. For all affections of
the throat and lungs i oelieve it the best medicine
extant. A feeling of the deepest gratitude prompts
me in addressing you these lines. But for your im
portant discovery, my little boy would now have
ueen in another world.
1 am yours, with great respect,

AYER’S PILLS.
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A
riMIEKE lias long existed a public demand for an
I effective purgative pill which could be relied
on as sure ami perfectly safe in its operation. This
has been prepared to meet that demand, and an ex
tensive trial of its virtues has conclusively shown
with what success it accomplishes the purpose de
signed. It is easy to make a physical Pill, but not
easy to make the bestot idl Pills: one which should
have none of the objections, but all the advantages
of every otner. This has been attempted here,
and with what success we would respectfully s ib
mit to the public decision, It has been unfortu
nate for the patient hitherto that almost every pur
gative medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the
bowels. This is not. Many of them produce so
much griping pain and revulsion in the system as
to more than counterbalance the good to be derived
from them. These l'ilis produce no irritation or
pain, unless it arise from a previously existing ob
struction or derangement m the bowels. Being
purely vegetable’; no harm can arise from their use
in any quantity ; but it is better that any medicine
should be taken judiciously. Minute directions
for their use in the several discuses to whieli they
are applicable are give on the box. Among the
complaints which have been speedily cured by
them, we may mention Liver Complaint, in its vu
rious forms of Jaundice, Indigestion, Languor and
Loss of Appetite, Listlessuess, Irritability, Billious
Headache, Billious Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain
in the Side and. Loins, for, in truth, all theso uro
but the eonsoqueuees of disused action in tho
liver. As an aperient, they afford prompt and sure
relief in Costiveness, Piles, Colie, Dysentery, Hu
mors, Scrofula and Scurvy, Colds, with soreness of
the body, Ulcers and impurity of the blood—in
short, any and every case wlieje a purgative is re
quired.
They have also produced somo singularly suc
cessful cures in Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, Gravel,
Erysipe'as, Palpitation of the Heart, l’uihs in the
Back, Stomach, and Side. They should be freely
taken in the Spring of the year, to purify the blood
and prepare the system for the change’ of season.
An occasional close stimulates the stomach mid
bowels into henlthv action, and restores the appe
tite and vigor. They purify the blood, and by their
stimulant notion on the circulatory system,' reno
vate the strength of the. body, and restore the
wasted or diseased energies of tlie whole organism.
Honoe un occasional dose is. advantageous even
though no serious derangement; exists ; but unnec
essary dosing should never be carried too far, as
every purgative medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess. The thousand eases in
which a physic is required cannot be enumerated
here, but they suggest .themselves to the reason of
everybody ; and it is confidently believed this pill
will answer a better purpose than any thing which
has hitherto been avail ible'to mankind. When
their virtues ure once known the public will no
longer doubt what remedy to. employ when ni noed
of a cathartic medicine.
Being sugar-wrapped they ure pleasant to take,
and being purely vegetable no harm can arise from
their use in any quantity.
For minute directions, see the wrapper on the
■box. . , .

To the Citizens of the United States :
1 most humbly and sincerely thank you for the
immense patronage which you have bestowed upon
my Pills. 1 take this opportunity of stating that
my ancestors were all American citizens, and that
1 entertain for all that concerns America and the
Americans, the most lively sympathies, so much

PURIFICATION OF THE BLOOD, AND LIVER
AND BILLIOUS COMPLAINTS.
The citizens of the Union suffer much from dis
orders of the Liver and Stomacti, scarcely any are
free from the influence of tliese destructive mala
dies, lienee life wears fust. The fair sex, perhaps
the most handsome in the world, up to a certain
period, when, distressing to say, many loose their
teeth and good looks, while yet in the heyday of
life, such sad evils may be effectually remedied* by
continually keeping the blood pure, and the Liver
and Stomach in a healthy action, when life will flow
smoothly, and resemble plants in a congenial clime,
where an eternal Spring appears to reign. As it
regards the preservation of the human frame, and
the duration of life, much may be effected, and 1
say fearlessly, that health and life can be prolong
ed for many years beyond their ordinary limits, if
Holloway’s Pills are taken to purify the blood ac
cording to the rules laid down for health contained
in the directions which accompany each box.
A CASE OF WEAKNESS AND DEBILITY,
of lh years standing, cured by Holloway’s Pills.
Copy of a Letter from Capt. Joh’ison, Astor House
New York, Jan. 5, 1854.
To Professor Holloway,
38 Corner of Ann and Nassau sts., N. Y.
Sir:—li is with the most heartfelt pleasure 1
have to inform you that 1 have been restored to
health and strengtn by taking your Pills. For ilie
last ten years, l suffered from a derangement of the
Liverand Stomach, and was reduced to such an ex
tremity that 1 gave up my ship, never expecting to
go to sea any more, as I had tried every remedy
that was recommended to me, but all to no pur
pose; and had given myself up to despair, when 1
was at last recommended to take your pills. After
using them for three months, the result is that 1
am now in better health than 1 have been for eleven
vears past, and indeed as well as 1 ever was in my
life. You are quite at liberty to make this known
for the benefit of others.
1 remain, sir, yours respectfully,

SENGER, the Proprietors beg to assure the public
that no exertions will be remitted on their part to
maiuti in the high character of the work, and to
challenge the patronage of ail who value sterling

has endeavored to reflect faithfully'the Southern
mind, while disdaining all narrow and sectional
views, and has been alone among tlie monthly pe
riodicals of America in defence of the peculiar in
stitutions of the Southern States. To this office it
will still be devoted, and will be prompt to repel
assaults upon the South, whether they eouie under
the specious garb of fiction ns in “ Uncle Tom’s
Cabin,” or in the direct Jbrm of anti-slavery pam
phlets. At this critical juncture, while our eno
mies are employing literature as their most potent
weapon of attack, the Southern people will surely
not withhold their encouragement from a work
whose aim it shall be to strike blows in their de
fence.
The Messenger will, as heretofore, present its
readers with
Reviews , Historical and Biographical Sketches , Kov
els, Tales, Travels, Essays, Poems, Critiques ,
and Papers on the Army, Navy and
other National Subjects.
With a view to ensure a larger circulation of the
Messenger, the Proprietors have made a reduction
in the Price of Subscription which is now only
Three Dollars Per Annum, in Advance,
Or Four Dollars if not paid before the Ist of July
