have passed away. It is to these Periodicals 1 hat
readers must look for the only really intelligible

in addition to their well-established literary, scien

the consideration of the reading public.

BUCOES3FULLY TREATED,
BY" INHALATION OF MEDICATED VAPORS
—BY—
JOHNSON STEWART ROSE, M. D.,
of the Royal College of Physicians
. ami for y'ears Senior Physician in the London
Royal Infirmary, Ibr diseases of the Lungs.
In the treatment of Consumption by Inhalation,
I have obtained results which warrant mo in asserting
that it is now as curable as diseases of the Stomach
and Liver.
Breathing medicine directly into the Lungs is
certainly the rational tne do of attacking the dis
ease. Like many other groat and beneficent discov
eries, its seems strange why such treatment was
not resorted to long ago. Where there is life there
is assuredly hope for the moat seemingly hopeless
cases, as throughout all the stages of this insidious
disease, the wonderful and beneficient effects of his
treatment are soon apparent. In cases also ol
Bronchitis, Asthma, &e.. 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, residents of
New 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 oi" Medicines in
sucli a manner that they are conveyed into the
Lungs in the form of vapor and pro/luce 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 ol
Consumption.
Applicants will please to state if they have evet
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.

Henry C. Sheldon, Troy, N. Y., Dee. 30, 1850,
said: “From careful observation, I am convinced
that your Hooflund’s German Bittters is a better ar

One gentleman, troubled with Dyspepsia, who has
purchased half a dozen of the Bitters, says: 1 It is
the only article that he has found that lias afforded
him relief.’ Now he is in a fair way of recovery.”
Rutlloug & Sauuders, Buflalo, N". Y., Dec. 20,
1850, said: “We know from experience, (having
used it in our own families,) that Dr. Hooflund’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, Puinski, N. Y., March 20, 1851, said:

To all who use Liquor as a Medicine or as

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 and from materials elsewhere unemployed
and unknown.
2. It is proved, by the repeated analysis of several
eminent chemists, to be entirely free from the per
nicious fusil oil which remains ill 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 samo unerring test, that
this Juniper Gin is not flavored witli the coarse,
acrid and indigestible oil of juniper heretofore used,
but 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 he absolutely pure
in its rectification—a quality obtained by an entire
ly new process, and which no other Holland Gin in
the world has acquired.
5. It is proved by extensive medical experience
and testimony, to be an efficient as well as an agree
able remedy 5n many cases ofineipient dropsy, grav
el, gout, chronic rheumatism, flatulence, colic, con
cretions im the kidneys and bladder, dyspepsia,
fever and ague, general debility } sluggish circula
tion of the blood, deficient ussiunlation of food and
exhausted vital energy.
6. It is a most grateful and renovating cor
dial and when used as directed, never inflames
the system or induces inebriety, but tends rather to
subdue the latter frailty, by creating a disliko to
all inferior liquors. And it invariably corrects the
ill effects of bud water, whether in swumpy or
limestone districts. In all of these enumerated
qualities it has uo rival in any market in the
world.

CHERRY PECTORAL
A MONG the numerous discoveries Science has
XX made in this generation to facilitate the busi
ness of life, increase its enjoyment, and even pro
long tiie term of human existence, none can be
named of more real value to mankind than this con
tribution of Chemistry to the Healing Art. A vast
trial of its virtues throughout this broud country
lias 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 bus at length
been found which can be relied ‘on to cure the
most dangerous att'ec-tions of the lungs. Our space
here will not permit us to publish any proportion of
the cures effected by its use, but w-e would present
the following, and refer further inquiry to my
American Almanac, which the agents below-named
will always be pleased to furnish tree, wherein are
full particulars, and indisputable proof of these
statements:

J. C. Ayer.— Dear Sir : My tittle son, four years
old, lias just recovered from a severe attack of ma
lignant Scarlet Fever, his throat was rotten, and
every person tlmt visited him pronounced him a
dead child. Having used your Cherry Pectoral 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. I 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 1 believe 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 liuve
been in another world.
1 am yours, with great respect,

have used it, and 1 knovt of some eases where the
best they can say of it is i.ot too much for the good
it has done. 1 take pleasure in soiling it, because
1 know that I am giving my customers the worth of
their money, and 1 feel gratified in seeing the bene
fit it confers.

AYER’S PILLS.
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A
t I "'ll EH K lias long existed a public demand for an
X effective purgative pill which could be relied
on as sure and perfectly safe in its operation. This
lias 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 tlic bestot all Pills: one which should
have none of the objections, butull the advantages
of every other. This lias been attempted hero,
and witii what success we would .respectfully sub
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 tlian counterbalance the good to be derived
from them. These Pills 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 tlioir use
m any quantity ; but it is better that any medicine
should be taken judiciously. Minute directions
for their uso in the several diseases to which 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 va
rious forms of Jaundice, Indigestion, Languor and
Loss of Appetite, Listlessness, Irritability, Billious
Headache* Billions Fever, Fever and Ague, Pain
in the Side and Loins, for, in truth, all these are
but the consequences of diseased action in tho
liver. As an aperient, they afford prompt and sure
relief in Costiveness, Piles, Colie, Dysentery, Hu
mors, Scrofula und Scurvy, Colds, with soreness of
the body, Ulcers and impurity of the blood—ill
short, any and overy ease where a purgative is re
quired.
they have also produced sonic singularly suc
cessful euros in Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, Gravel,
Krysipe'ns, Palpitation of the Heart, Pains in the
Back, Stomach, and Side, They should be freely
taken in the Spring of the year, to purity the blood
and pvepare the system for the change of season.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach und
bowels into healthy action, and restores the appe
tite and vigor. They purify tho blood, and by their
stimulant uction on the circulatory system, reno
vate the strength of the body, ana restore the
wasted or diseased energies of the whole organism.
Hence an occasional dose is advantageous even
though no serious derangement exists; hut unnec
essary dosing should never be curried too far, as
overy purgative medicine reduces the strength,
when taken to excess.. The thousand cases in
which a physic is required cannot bo enumerated
here, but; they suggest themselves to the reason of
everybody ; and it is confidently believed this pill
will answer u better purpose than any thing winch
lias hitherto been available to mankind. When
their virtues are once known the public will no
longer doubt wlmt remedy to employ when in need
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 tho
box.

PURIFICATION OF THE BLOOD, AND LIVER

The citizens of the Union suffer much from dis
orders of the Liver and Stomach, scarcely any are
free from the influence of these destructive "mala
dies, lienee life wears fast. The fair sex, perhaps
the most handsome in the world, up to a certain
period, when, distressing to say, many loose their
teetli 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 aud 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.

that no exertions will be remitted on their part to

challenge the patronage of all who value sterling
literary merit. For Twenty Years the Messenger
has endeavored to reflect faithfully the Southern
mind, while disdaining all narrow and sectional
and has been alone uniong the monthly pe
riodicals of America in defence of the peculiar in
stitutions of the Southern States. To tliis office it
will still be devoted, and will be prompt to repel
assaults upon the South, whether tliev come under
the specious garb of fiction ns in “ Uncle Tom’*
Cabin, or in the direct form of anti-slavery pam
phlets. At this critical juncture, while our ene
mies are employing literature as their most potent
weapon ot 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 iu
readers with
Reviews, Historical and Biographical Sketches, Hot
els, Tales, Travels , Essays, Poems, Critiques,
and Papers on the Army, Kavy 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
in any year.
