EXTRACT OF TOMATO

n L
MAJ L feel it duty we owe to the pub
w lie TO again call their attention to
this valuable medicine, and this we do for
the sake and benefit of our fellow creatures
laboring under disease. The writer Of this
has suffered much from the free use Of cal
omel. He believes it has been the instru-
ment of saving his life, in two cases at least,
but life is hardly worth preserving with dis
ease and pain and suffering entailed upon
it, through the self same instrument which
prolongs it; such has been his misfortune.
He firmly believes the Tomato Medicine
contains the good properties of the calomel
Invested Of IFS deIeterious ones, and that it
may be reliedupon. 1t has been used by
himself and in his family for the bowel COM
plant and riSceral distractions, and with the
fullest success. Some physicians have as
serted, who hy-the-by had not tested the
fact, that calomel is the prominent article at
last, but this idea is losing credit very fast.
| The proprietors have offered one thousand
dollars reward to any one who will ''prove
that Miles Compound Extract of Tomato
contains one particle ofcalomel or mercuri-
al preparation whatever" Persons familiar
with calomel know how to test it 10 a GER
tainty.
The Louisville Herald of July 3, has the
following remarks:
"ToMATo This vegetable which now
forms in its season one of the greatest luxu
ries that can be brought on a table, has been
known as a vegetable for only few years.
Its culture for culinary purposes was first
commenced in this country, by the French
Huguenot Refugees, by whom it was called
Pom dc Amour, or Love Apple. Besides
its excellence for the table, it possesses
great medical virtues, particularly the small
yellOU kind, an extract from which, prepar-
ed in peculiar manner, is said to produce
all the good effects of caomel and none of
its evils, and as a medicine has been highly
recommended by eminent practitioners. For
ourselves we are decidedly opposed to
quackery and secret nostrums of all kinds,
and believe that day has gone by when a
scientific practitioner of medicine can with
propriety prescribe or recommend medi-
cine, the component parts Of which he does
not know; when however medicine is pre-
scented, scientifically prepared, the compo-
nent parts of which arc freely made known
to all medical men and the medicine itself
is recommended by men of science and pro-
fessional skill, as discovery calculated to
benefit mankind, tt may with safety and
propriety be commended to the public--such
a medicine is Miles' Compound Ertrdct of
Tomato which is now common prescription
given by many practitioners of high stand
ing. We have Of late observed many no
tees of it.
A large supply ofrhe above Medicine just
received and for sale by the subscriber, who
is authorised to appoint agents for the sale
Of the same throughout the State.

CROWS Us. ALCOHOL.

Colonel b. has one of the best farms on
the Illinois river. About one hundred acres
of it arc now covered with waving corn
When it first came up in the spring, the
crows seemed determined on its entire de-
struction. When one was killed, it seem
ed as though dozen came to his funeral.
And though the sharp crack of the rifle of
ten drove them away, they always returned
with IFS echo.
The Colonel at length became weary Of
throwing grass, and resolved on trying the
virtue of stones. He sent to the druggist
for a gallon of alcohol, in which he soaked
few quarts of corn and scattered it over
his field. The black legs came and par.
took with their usual relish; and such COO
ing and cackling,-such strutting and
staggering! The scene was like-but
will make no inydious comparison; yet it
was very much like
When the boys attempted to catch them,
they were not little amused at their stag
gering gait, and their zigzag course through
the air. AT length they gained the edge of
the woods, and there being joined by new
recruit, which happened TO be sober, they
united at the top of their voices in haw haw
having, shouting either the praises or the
curses of alcohol. 1t was difficult TO tell
which, as they ratified away without rhyme
or reason, so very much like
But the Colonel saved his corn. As
soon as they became sober, they set their
faces steadfastIy against alcohol. Not an
other kernel would they touch in his field,
lest it should contain the accused thing,
while they went and pulled up the corn OF
his neighbors. To return like dog to his
.vomit--lke a washed sow to the miro
like-not they. They have too much
respect for their character-black as they
are---again to be found drunk.

SCIENCE, LITERATURE AND MISCELLANY.
Published Monthly, by the
Jefferson College and Washington Lyceum.
FENIIE extensive and growing interest of
Il the South West, its moral and social
Improvement, and its increasing literary
and scientific demands, have awakened at
tention to the fact that in this highly impor-
tant portion of our country there is no jour
nal or paper so exclusively devoted to liter
AZURE and science, advocating the doctrines
of no party.
Feeling the necessity Of such paper,
the Jefferson College and Washington Ly-
ceum have commenced the publication of
periodical entitled ''THE SoUTH-WEsTERN
JOURNAL" to be devoted to literature and
science, and all subjects interesting to the
general reader.
It's published semi-monthly, in the city
of Natchez, and contains sixteen small quar-
to pages, similar in form to the "Penny
Magazine and is protected by good en-
velope, SO that it may be conveyed to any
distance without injury.
II viii be remembered that we have no
work in the Southwest similar TO this; and
every one who feels pride in any enter
prise calculated to enhance the social and
moral character Of cur country, should come
forward and assist in this worthy enterprise
Pecuniary emolument constitutes no part
of the object of this publication. 1t is not
intended to benefitany Individual or the Ly-
ceum in pecuniary point of view. The
sole object is to advance knowledge and diff
fuse taste for the refined eujoymonts of
| literature and science.
| Nothing is now wanting to the accom-
| plishment of the wishes Of the Lyceum but
the patronage of the community; and it is
expected that this patronage will be prompt
" and cheerlully extended.
All communications in reference to the
periodical should be addressed, post paid, to
