The effect of this celebrated medicine is to pu-
rify the blood to convert the poor, corrupt blood
into healthy, rich blood. And it is because they
do thi, that thew have been so steadily sought after
by all classes Of our citizens who have required
medicine. And it is because Of the power Brand
reth Pills are NOW knuwn to possess as healtii-re-
~storers, that render them 70 popular.
They cure all affections, simply, because Mey
make the blood puye-abstract out OF those quail
ties which produce disease, and give TO 1t those
qualities which produce health. gs1 .h
Now every solid part of the human frame is
made from the blood, and the food we eat is con-
.verted into blood to supply the waste OF our bodies

course of nature we manufacture our entire bodies
in about nine years from the food taken into our
stomschs., Suppose the blood made in this stom-

GINSENG PANACEA.-We are not in the
habit Of recommending Patent Medicines to our
readers, knowing that most Of them are GOT UP
for the sole purpose Of filling the pockets OF the
prooprietors at the expense Of the health, and too
often we have reason to fear, Of the lives of the
afflicted. On this point we have ever felt 1t a duty
to be cautious; but when we see an article which
we have every reason to believe calculated to be
Of inestimahle value to the public we cannot feel
called upon to hold our peace. Such a medicine
we esteem the Ginseng Panacea, prepared by
Mr., Salter, Of Cincinnati. We honestly believe
il almost i%nfallible, as a remedy for Coughs, Colds
and other affections of The Lungs. tits a singular
fact, that for the last hundred years we have annu-
ally shipped millions Of pounds Of the Ginseng to
China, without once suspecting for what use that
singular people were willing to pay such high
prices for an article considered worthless by us;
but Salter's pamphlet answers that question most
satisfactory. This little treatise is to be had gratis
of all A gents, and is really worth a perusal.

General TAYLOR at Home.

We learn from The Baton Rogue Ad-
vocale, Of the 9th instant, that Gener-
al Taylor arrived there on Sunday
night last, st eleven o'clock. 1t was
evidently his intention prompted by
that modesiy for which he is pr~overbial)
to avoid anything like show or ostenta-
tion upon landing, and TO make his exit
from the boat unseen, and repair at
once to his family and home, in the gar
%rison. But the qui vire and anxiety Of
the public mind, even at that late hour,
could not be eIuded, and upon his ap-
pearance, an almost incessant cheering
burst forth and the numbering peals Of
Captain Menard's artillery in town,
and that in the arsenal, plainly told to
those who were bound in the ''slumber-
ing chains' Of Morpheus, that the "na-
tionaI guest was truly in their midst.
At noon, on the day folio owing, says
the Advocate, hundreds Of our fellow
citizens, both from the town and count
ry.-many Of them old friends and ac-
quaintances Of the general-formed in
procession, headed by the soul.stirring
fife and drum, and marched to the res
idence of the general, who made his
appearance, and received any amount
ofcheeringfrom The enthusiastic crowd.
D. d. Avery, Esq, in behalf of the cit:
liens, addressed The general in a neat,
pertinent and impressive speech, lex,
tending torhim the inequalities and cor
dial welcome Of the town and parish,
and conveying in fit terms the high cp-
probation and admiration entertained
BY the inhabitants for his distinguished
services in the battles Of his county.
The General responded with It
warmth offeeling and expression which
showed a'deep ackno wledgment for the
attention and honors rendered him.

but few equal to this; which now stands a living
proof of the durability of Consumption, even

his person was seized with violent cold, which
produced a severe cold, and brought on an inla'
nation of the lungs. He had frequent pains in
the chest, likewise in both sides, experienced much
difficulty in breathing-had copious night sweats,
and was subject to an occasional splitting Of blood
While in this situation he placed himself under
a highly celebrated physician, under whose care
the remained two months, but found his disease
still growing worse. He then tried the Thompso-
mans, and persevered ia the use of their remedies
for ten weeks, without any relief. He next trled
advertised remedies with no better success. The
disease continued progressing gradually until he
took a fresh cold, he then commenced sinking fast
losing in a short period over thirty pounds IN
weight. He then tried the Homeopathy system for
three months, at the end of which time he was re-
duced 10 a mere skeleton. At this critical stage OF
his disease, with scarcely any hope Of help, he
commenced using the B alsam of Wild Cherry, and

stored to health, and at the present time has not a
