Many forfeitures are about to accrue, from failure
to pay taxes; many claims, otherwise good, will be
barred by adverse possession of three years-that
being the limitation; many titles of lands conveyed
in the United States cannot be admitted to record in
Texas, for want Of proper authorization. Owing
to some other of these causes the best lands
are in a condition TO be lost.
Having made it my business TO become acquaint-
ed with all the laws relating to titles, and being de-
iermned to attend diligently all claims confded to
me- require, in all cases, an advance in cash, suf-
Gent to cover expenses Of investigation. When
that shall be done, am willing to take contingent
interest in the lands for attention and services.

GREATEST WONDER OF THE AGE.

DATENT GALvANIC RING, AND MAG
Il NETIC FLUlD.--These wonderful Rings,
and the Galvanic Fluid, have created great sensa-
ton throughout Europe, and are attracting crowds
to see them, both in New York and Boston. They
cure with astonishing rapidity rheumatism, govt,
tic-dooreux fits, cramp, sick headache, indigestion,
paralysis stiff joints, general debility, deficiency Of
nervous energy, and all nervous disorders. They
produce all the beneficial results of the ordinary ga-
vanic battery, or electric and magnetic machines,
without the injurious shocks which always accom-
pany their application. The secret of preparing
the Ring was discovered by Professor Harmance
Christie, of London, in October last and they have
been recently introduced into this country by DIR. A.
Christie, who warns the American public, from tho
beginning, to beware of spurious limitations. To
guard against fraud, he will appoint but one agency
in each of the cities of the United States.
