A GRAND EPOCH IN MEDICINI

A GRAND EPOCH In MEDICINE.
DIR. Maggiel is the founder of new medical
system. The quantitarians whose vast internal
doses enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bow
els and with whose external remedies the ulcerat-
ed and eruptive surfaces of the skin are deluged
in vain must give place to the man who restores
his health and appetite with from one to three
harmless pills, and cures the most virulent and
scrofulous disorders with from one to three bexes
of his matchless salve.
DR.. Maggiel's Pills and Salve have ushered in
a new medical era. No more nauseating avalan-
ches of drastic drugs need be poured down sick
peoples throats. One of MaggiePs Pills rectifes
the disordered condition of the stomach and liver,
clesnses the head and restores the nerves in a
space of time short enough to be almost classed
marvellous.
In fact Maggiels Bilious. Dyspeptic and Diarr-
hea Pills cure where all others fail. While for
Burns Scaids, Chlblains, Cuts, and all abrassions
of the skin, Maggiel's SalFe is infalIible.

T~he|prespects for South
Carolina.

Governor Perry in his recent letter to
the Phmnir has the following absurd
ideas on restriction. He probably thinks
that the colored people would abuse pow
er as badly as the white rebels Of the
South. Gov. Perry says:
just 80 sure as general suffrage is
given 70 the negro, in South Caroline,
he will :iissl his r1s@;erlcal strength, and
sooner or later. under tie vile lead Of
Black Republican emissaries, seize the
political power Of the State, end exercise
it to oppress and plumber the white race.
There are thousands Of u%nprinciplea
white men amongst us, who will unite
their destiny with h negro for the sake
of spoi,s and plunaer. They will easily
bc persuaded, and persuade themselves,
that it IS right and proper that the lands
Of the State should be d;videdou equally
amongst ali Ct her citizens. Every one
should have a homc-the poor freedman
as we'll as his former rich master. Ilav-
ing. II the power in their hands, with tbs
belief, it is folly and stupidity to suppose
they will not execute it. They must
serve on juries and hold Office, ride with
YOU. aud your wives and daughters in the
1carssS and eat with you at the hotel, and
sit With YOU in the church. All this, and
and ten times more, you must endure
from your HACK political masters. And
can it lie that the pride Of Carolina has
sunk Sd low, and beel SO degraded, as
to vote for all this voluntarily. for the
purpose of getting back into that Union
which her citizens protested to ha e and
despise' so cordially q few years since:
Are they willing to go to the polls and

There are in the State only ten Dis

two-thirds and more of the Convention
may be negroes or Black Republicans.
The Legislature will be similarly COM
posed. Do the people Of South Carolina
really think of these consequences, or
are they prepared to accept hem?Better
