We are pleased to find this excellent week
ly journal again on our table. Itcomes TO
hand in an entirely new and beautiful dress !;
and its contents exhibit an increase of the
spirit, ability. energy and industry for which
it has ever been distinguished. Mrs. BRIAN,
who formerly presided over the Literary De
partment, has withdrawn. but her place Is
supplied by Mrs. L. VIRGINIA FRENCH, who
contributes a number of articles to the num-
Der before US. Her salutatory Is appropriate
and In good taste. As a literary production
it is highly creditable. The other articles,
a farewell to 1859, and poem, are gems We
would have much preferred to see her genius
enriching the columns of some Journal of her
adopted State; but we are gratified to know
that her fine talents are appreciated and
The productions of her pen sought for abroad.
We trust that, although her labors in behalf
of Che Crusader may ocenpy much of her
time, she may sometimes have spare mo-
ment in which TO keep up the pleasant inter-
course she has had with the readers of the
PATRIOT. We claim for them, and for our
selves, an occasional jewel from the rich
treasury at her command.

In presenting the merits of this IN
valuable medicine again to the public,
after trial of more than twenty years,
as certain, safe, and speedy cure of
most of the chronic diseases of the
urinary organs, the proprietor feels
fully prepared to present such an array
of facts, of the most indubitable kind,
from persons living in has osDn inlnae-
tiiate neighborhood, and has oacm county,
as well as elsewhere, and such an array
of evidence as he confidently believes
has never before been presented to the
public in favor of any other medicine,
patented or not, right at the place where
it started, and enough to satisfy even
the most fastidious and incredulous,
and leave them without the shadow of
a doubt of the certain efficacy of the
LITHONTRIPTIC in the cure
of Calculi, or Stone. in the
Bladder and Kidneys, Ora
vel Deposits, Inflammation
of the Kidneys and Bladder,
Chronic Gonorrhea, Weak
ness of the Loin, Prolapsus
Uteri, Sympathetic Complaints at
tendant on Pregnancy, &c, &c. /;
and in time of Labor the Lithon-
triptic has no equal on record, as can
be proved by many Certificates.
Among those testifying to its efficacy
may be mentioned, in has o,on neigh
6orhOod and county, the PHYSICIANS,
the CLERGY, CLERKS OF THE CIRCUIT
AND County Courts, MEMBERS OF
THE LEGISLATURES, THE GRAND jury
of his own county, FARMERS, MEM
BEERS OF CONGRESS- from his own
district, &c, &e.-a an array of testi-
mony sufficient to leave all persons Ia
boring under any of the above-men-
toned diseases perfectly without any
excuse for not obtaining the Lithon-
triptic and being healed, but downright
obstinacy or the most inveterate anti
pathy against any secret remedy. L
will say, in the language of Holy Writ,
If you do not believe the testimony

that I shall adduce. neither would VOC
believe though enc arose from the dead
and told You of the great efficacy of the
Lithontriptic.
The Faculty and the public may be
surprised to hear of a remedy that win
certainly dissolve Galculi, or Stone in
the Bladder, and cause it 10 pass off
with the urine, and permanently cure
almost all the chronic diseases of the
Urinary Organs, those heretofore in
durable diseases. But the proprietor
is certain that at last he has found out
tbis great desideratuDs az Merliciiae, a.
certain aud scfe cure for these Diseases
And all he wants, wishes, or desires, is
for the Faculty and the afflicted 20 give
his medicine fair and impartial trial,
and he has no doubt that they will
be thoroughly convinced of It's great
efficacy; and if it does not do what he
represents it to do, he would like to
know it and let 1t be exposed ;; but if
it does effect these cures, he hopes, for
the sake of su6eriny humanity, the Fa-
catty-the guardians of PUBLIC health
viii give it their influence There is
no humbuggery In the Lithontriptie
every certificate is genuine, and the
proprietor will give one thousand dol
lars to any person who will find out
one spurious certificate.
Any person doubling the truth of
any thing that has been said, is ear
nestly and respectfully requested to.
correspond with any person whose
name is annexed to any certificate, and
thereby convince himself of the truth .
of every thing that has been published.
The number of bottles that it usu-
ally takes to cure is from one to five !;
though it has been known TO take ten
bottles where. there were extremely
large formations of Calculi or Stone
TO be dissolved in the bladder.
For the efficacy Of the Lithontriptic
see the Circular, containing some of the
most wonderful certificates in the world,
around each bottle.
