 The public are also cautioned against pur- chasing medicines from those who are not au- horized Agents, as many are selling articles under the name of Thompson's Medicines, which have nothing but the name to recom- mend them, and many articles sold by them, are even poisonous, and act in direct opposi- tion to the principles of the Thompsonian sys- tem.-Therefore, those that wish for genuine medicines, will do well to examine into the authority of those from whom they purchase; as all authorized, will be furnished with a printed article signed either by Samuel Thompson or PIKE, PLATT, & Co.

TRAvELLER'S REST,
 AND SUMMER RETREAT.

AT THErSIGN OF THE RISING SUN, TUSCALOOSA " HE proprietor of the CITY-HOTEL
 A returns his sincere thanks to his former customers, and solicits continuance of their favors; also requests the public, generally, to give his house a trial, and although he may have no spirits for sale, he would not be un- derstood thereby to prohibit those favorng him with their patronage from the use thereof, or from keeping their rooms supplied with them: honest and obliging servants will all ways be at hand to execute any commands which the wants or comfort of guests may re- quire. This establishment and servants be- ing the property of the subscriber, he ex- poets to continue the business permanently, (unless an opportunity to sell should offer), and being pleasantly located in the centre of business, and in it's construction one of the most convenient, its advantages are surpassed by no other house in the city. The rooms are large and well ventilated, which render them very pleasant and healthy in summer, and very convenient at all times. The un- paralleled health of our city and surrounding country, having for years been so good, that we can with great propriety invite persons who wish to find a healthful retreat, to spend the summer with us We have Ia Mineral Spring, two miles from the city, towhich ma ny have resorted during the two last summers, who all speak highly of its benefits to their health. To such this house would be plea sant home, as it has suits of apartments in entire private situations for the accOmmoda- tion of families, with private tables to such as prefer them. The proprietor hopes his ex- ertion to please will render his house plea sant residence to such as favor him with their patronage.
 To this establishment belongs very exten- sive stables, which will always estored with the best of provender, and attended by ho- nest, industrious, and skilful osders, with a convenient tot for droves, Scc.
 Notwithstanding my expectation to be per- manent in the business, owing to the conhne- ment, &c., am disposed to sell out the es- tablishment, but the business being profta- ble one, l will by no means neglect the vigilant prosecution of it, because am offering to sell, but will rather be more attentive than other wise. This establishment affords also one of the best stands for merchandise in the place, and has very fine finished rooms for that hu- siness, attached to which is a very fine watre proof cellar.
 As do not propose selling for the purpose of raising money particularly, will extend the credit to great length of time-the mo ney being well secured, and the interest paid annually.
 also, have several tracts of land, and some lots in this place, which would sell on very extensive credits. JOHN MEEK.

American Jour nai of Science g. Arts,
 BY PROFESSOR B. SULLIVAN.

H1IS work was projected in 1917, and
 commenced in July, 1918. Before that period, no Original Journal ofScience had ap- peared in this country, except that of Dr BRUCE, which was lmeted to Mneralogy, and ceased with the completion of the first vo- lume. The American Journal has been sus- tained more than eleven years, until it has reached its twentieth volume.
 There is sufficient evidence to shew, that it has essentially promoted some of our most inn portant national interests. It is known and accredited, not only at home, but in the most enlightened countries of Europe; and as the leading Foreign Journals of Science are sent in exchange, and frequently quote from its pages, it has become thus identified with the progress of the Science and Arts of the pre- sent day.
 TERMs.-The terms are three dollars a volume in advance, and there are two volumes 8vo. year, of two Nos. each; they were ori- ginally stipulated to contain 320 pages, but have averaged more than 400.
 The reason why the price of this Journal is one dollar higher than that of the American Quarterly Review is, that the plates and composition make it more expensive, while the patronage is more limited.
 Complete sets of all the back volumes can be furnished, at suitable discount, either in numbers or in half or full binding.
 A number of the work will be sent, gratis, asa specimen, when desired.
 057 It is expected that postage will always be paid on orders and remittances for the Journal, but not on communications for its
