CELEBRATED GERMAN BITTERS,
prewlrfil) bv ob. c. 31. jack8cn,
Xo. 120 Arch St., one door below SizthSt. Phil.
Their power over the above diseases is not ex-
celled, if equalled, by any other preparation in the
United States, as the cures attest, in many cases
after skilful physicians had failed.
These Bitters are worthy the attention of Inva-
lids. Possessing great virtues in the rectification
of the liver and lesser glands, exercising the most
searching power in weakness and affections of the
digestive organs, they are withal safe certain and
pleasant.
Testimony front Texas.
B. F. Rucker, Washington Texas, Sept. 24th,
1853, says : " I have sold the last bottle of Ger-
man bitters to-day. It is quite a popular medi!
cine, and those who have used it speak in the high-
est terms of its salutary influence "
S. W. Fisher, Matagorda, Texas, July 15th, 1853,
says: "The German Bitters have become very
popular here and are moving off rapidly."
T. II. McMahon A Co., Richmond, Texas, Sept.
22, 1852, says: "We are pleased to inform you
that your German Bitters give universal satisfac-
tion ; it is in great demand. Send a3 early as
practicable.''
George Yonng. Wheelock, Texas. April IT,
1854, says: "The German Bitters have arrived
in good time for the summer sickness, and I think
there will be a good demand for them, as I find
every person who has used them pronounced it the
best medicine of the kind they have ever known."
These Bitters are entirely vegetable, thereby
possessing great advantage over most of the pre
parations recommended tor similar diseases.

Mills are not excelled by any that are built in or
brought to tlie State for fust grinding, durability
and cheapness: and arc easier to manage and

The capacity of these mills can be increased to al-

speed; or, canTP worked with light power by
diminishing th- speed and quantity of work. The
26, 28 aud 30 inch Mills we consider the best
size for water or steam power. 20 and 22 inch
Mills are adapted for horse or other light power,

Ercry woman should know that if she Is In poor, sickly,
debilitated condition of health, making existence a harden
to herself and a source of painful anxiety to her relatives
and friends, and perhaps, (horrible reflection!) entailing
and inflicting her own maladies and sufferings upon her
children, that it is her duty to understand why and from
what cause her sufferings arise, that r« medy and relief
may, while yet there is time, be availed of, the causes be
avoided in future, and her health restored, that she may
be fitted for the duties and capable of the enjoyments of
life.
Let every woman look at the emaciated form, the death-
like complexion, the deep-buried, lustreless eye, the sunk-
en cheek, the gloomy and depressed spirits, the shattered
nerves, the prostrate and helpless condition of many a
wife, mother, daughter, or sister. If not herself included,
within her own circle, whose days are days of agony, and
ask herself, "Must this continue? Must this be? Is
there no remedy? No relief? No hope?"
The remedy is by knowing the causes and avoiding
them, and knowing the remedies and benefiting by them.
These are pointed out in

PRIVATE MEDICAL COMPANION,
BY DR. A. M. MAURICKAU,
professor op diseases op wourx.
One hundredth Edition (500,000). ISmo., pp. 250.
[ox fixk paper, extra bixdixg, $1 00 ]
Every complaint to which a woman is subject, from girl-
hood to womanhood, as also as wife and as mother, are ful-
ly described, with'the causes, the symptoms, and also pro-
per mode of treatment, In a plain, simple, but in the most
chaste language, easily understood. And thus every wo-
man can discover, by comparing her own symptoms with
those described, the nature, character, and causes of her
complaint; and be spared much anxiety and suffering.
The wife about becoming a mother has often need of
instruction and advice of the utmost importance to her
future health, In respect to which her sensitiveness for-
bids consulting a medical gentleman, will find such in-
struction and advice, and also explain many symptoms
which otherwise would occasion anxiety or alarm.
How many are suffering from obstructions or Irregulari-
ties peculiar to the female system, which undermine the
health, the effects of which they are ignorant, and for
which their delicacy forbids seeking medical advice ? II< w
many suffer from prolaptu* uteri (falling of the womb"),
or from Jliior albxM(weakness, debility, Ac.)? How many
are in constant agony for many months preceding confine-
ment ? How many have difficult, If not dangerous deliv-
eries, and slow and uncertain recoveries? Some whose
lives are hazarded during such time, will each find in its
pages the means of prevention, amelioration and relief.
Uow many bitter moments, how much anguish, might
have been spared to the sufferer, to her husband, to her
relatives, by the timely possession of this little volume.
It is impracticable to convey fully the various subjects
treated of, as they are of a nature strictly intended for
the married, or those contemplating marriage.
But no husband, wife or mother are excusable if they
still continue in ignorance of those physiological laws, by
the knowledge of which their own health and happiness,
as also the future well-being of their children, are secured.
"THE MARRIED WOMAN'S PRIVATE MEDICAL
COMPANION " is a standard work of established reputa-
tion, found classed in the catalogues of the great trade
«ale^ in New York, Philadelphia, and other cities, and
sold by all the principal booksellers in the United States.
It was first published in IS47, since which time
five hundred thousand copies
have been sold, of which there were upwards of
IINR HUNDRED THOUSAND SENT BT MAIL,
attesting the high estimation in which it is held as a relia-
ble popular Medical
book for everv female;
the author having devoted his exclusive attention to the
treatment of complaints peculiar to females, in respect to
which he is yearly consulted by thousands.
In consequence of the universal popularity of the work,
as evidenced by its extraordinary sale, various imposi-
tions have been attempted by imitations of title-page, spu-
rious editions, and surreptitious infringements of copy-
right, as well upon booksellers as upon the public; it has
been found necessary, therefore, to
CAUTION TKE PUBLIC
to buy no book unless the words " Dr. A. M. mauriceatt,

River, abont 50 miles from the city of Aactin, is
now offered for sale, on very advantageous terms.
This splendid water power presents advantages
for improvement rarely to be met with. The river
here has a fall of 4$) fret in about onenrile, s
divided as to make several mill sites, and tas vast
amount of water afforded furnishes an immense
amount of power. The tract' consists of 680
acres, at the lower falls, on the West side of the
river a considerable part of which is covered,
with excellent cedar timber for bufBkkg purposes.
The advantages combined in this location are-
rare ly equalled by the manufacturing cities at the
