TOGETHER WITH THE COURTS OF TENN., DISTRICT COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES, And a variety of other interesting matter. NASHVILLE: PUBLISHED BY GEO. W. HOUSE. Printed by W. F. Bang- & Co. at the Republican Banner Office. THE WAY TO MAKE MONEY PLENTY IN EVERY MANS POCKET. At this time, when the general complaint is, that "money is scarce," it will be an act of kindness to inform the moneyless how they may re inforce their pockets. 1 will acquaint them with the true secret of mo¬ ney-catching; the certain way to fill empty purses—and how to keep them always full. Two simple rules, well observed, will do the business. First—Let honesty and industry be thy constant companions. And, secondly, spend one penny less than thy clear gains. Then shall thy hide-bound pocket soon begin to thrive, and wi'd never again cry with the empty-belly ache; neither will creditors insult thee, nor want oppx-ess, nor hunger bite, nor nakedness freeze thee. The whole hemisphere will shine brighter, and pleasure spring up in every corner of thy heart Now, therefore, embrace these rules and be happy Banish the bleak winds of sorrow from thy mind, and live independent. Thou shalt then be a man, and not hide thy face at the approach of the rich, nor suffer the pain of feeling little when the sons of fortune walk at thy right hand ; for independence, whether with little or^rbuch, is a good fortune, and placeth thee on even ground with the proudest of the golden fleece. O, then, be wise, and let industry walk with thee in the morning, and at¬ tend thee until thou readiest the evening hour for rest. Let honesty be as the breath of thy soul, and never forget to have a penny, when all thy expenses are enumerated and paid ; then shalt thou reach the point of happiness, and independence shall be thy shield and buckler, thy helmet and crown; then shall thy soul walk upright, nor stoop to the silken wretch because he hath riches, nor pocket abuse because the hand which offers it wears a ring set with diamonds—Benjamin Franklin, .1 - .,;• ■ — -i—■~-===3 ECLIPSES IN THE YEAR 1S48.

Think what you do when you run in debt for superfluities. You give to another power over your liberty. If you cannot pay at th time, you will be ashamed to see your creditor; you will be in fear when yon speak to him; you will make poor, piiiful excuses, and by degrees come to lose your veiacity, and sink into base downrigh lying; for as "Poor Richard says" — "The second vice is lying; thf first is running in debt," And again, to the same purpose; "Lying rides upon debt's back;" whereas, a freebom American ought noi io be ashamed nor afraid to speak to any man living. But poverty often deprives a man of all spirit and virtue, It is hard for an empty bag to stand upright, "as poor Richard truly says." Those who would have pleasant dreams, should take enre to pre serve what is necessary above all things—agood conscience. Where reason rules, appetite obeys. Let honesty and industry be thy constant companions—and spend one penny less than thy clear gains. 1st mo.

THE (JICL.4T ItEMEDV. it&ms-Jiw mm A safe and sure cure for CHILLS or AGUE and I EVER, in the unprecedented short time of Five Hours—as thousands throughout the West and South can testify, who havebeen thus speedily cured by this Great Remedy! Kvery one who is afflicted, Bhould be anxious to obtain that remedy which offers the best, qsickest, and safest cure, no matter from what source it springs; every honest man being bound to embrace the truth, whereverfound. Therefore, the proprietor, injustice to the public and himself, feels called upon to state, honestly, a few facts, which will es¬ tablish HOUSE'S INDIAN TONIC to be the best remedy for CHILLS or AGUE and FEVER, now known. Fact \st—The article is conve¬ nient and pleasant to take—is refined fiom all gross particles, which fender other preparations so muddy, nauseous and disagreeable to the taste; and if the directions are followed, will cure every case, with mathematical certainty, in from three to five hours. Astonishing!!! but true. Fuel 2nd - By its action upon the liver and other organs concerned, in forming it, the bile is regulated, the morbid action induced by the cause of the disease is destroyed—fever allayed —and it will be found a powerful agent in assisting to remove fevers generally. Fact 8rd It gives tone to the stomach—invigorates the body—stimulates all the funct ons to a healthy action—and is highly useful, wherever tonics art wanted. Fact 4ih.—This Tonic has performed, and is daily performing, cures in chills or ague and fever, without a parallel in medic ne. Witness (t single bottle making a cure in a case of TEN YEARS standing: another in a case of NINE YEARS standing—to cure which had previously baffled all skill, and every remedy. Look'at the many other astonishing cures set forth in the certificates around the bottle, and then say, if HOUSE'S INDIAN TONIC does not deservedly stand, pre-eminently the greatest remedy of the times. Read the certificates carefully; they are from your neighbors and friends—and whenever you meet with any of them, (to ascertain the truth3) don't fail to ask them concerning it. Be sure to ask for HOUSE'S INDIAN TONIC, and as you value your health, don't be put off with any thing else. Prepared and sold, wholesale and retail, by GEO. W. HOUSE, Nashr ville, Tenn.

House:- Dear Sir:—I had Chills and Fevers for twelve months; nine months of the time without being able to check it, with all the aid I could procure from Physicians and the various Tonic Fever and Ague mixtures sold by the Drug stores, In April last, I saw your advertisement of the Indian Tonic, as an infallible cure. I made no,delay in calling upon you; and by using said Tonic, 1 found immediate relief, and a permanent cure. A friend of mine tried it about the same time, with the same happy result. Yours, respectfully, C. L. GLASSGOW. From the Clarksville Chronicle, October 21, 1843. Dr . D. T. Scott: Dear Sir:—We have used the Indian Tonic prepared by Geo. W. House, in many cases of Ague and Fever, and we find it in every par¬ ticular, what it is recommended to be in your advertisement. We have heretofore used most of the popular remedies in use for Ague and Fever, and we unhesitatingly recommend said Indian Tonic to the confidence of the public, from our personal experience and observation, as a safe, cer¬ tain and prompt cure for the Ague and Fever, in any form or stage of the disease. Yours, &c. P. PEACHER, JAMES J. PRICHETT, LEVY COLEMAN. Bear Spring Furnace, Tenn.,Oct.29, 1845. Mr. Geo. W. House: Dear Sir:—I have sold the Indian Tonic that your agent left with me, and the money is ready for you. I have been requested by my neigh¬ bors to send for more; those who have tried it, have great confidence in it. Send me a further supply, and direct it to Cumberland Iron Works. Yours, respectfully, D. II. ELLIS. Extract of a letter from Rev. F. A, Owbn, of Memphis, dated November 16,1843. "My Dear Sir:—I have tried the Indian Tonic in six different cases, and find it efficacious in a very high degree. It arrested the chill in every instance, and as yet there has been no return. I cheerfully give this testimony, that others may be induced to use a remedy b'oth safe and efficacious in curing Chills and Fever. Yours, very truly, F. A. OWEN." Nashville, June 3rd, 1844. Mr. Geo. W. Houajfc . Dear Sir:—I shalijpake no apology in presenting the following re¬ markable case: A yfiHtk of about fifteen years old, living with me had the FEVER and AGUE for ten years, without finding a cure; and I can assure you that every means were used to that effect. In December last, I tried a bottle of your INDIAN TONIC, which arrested the disease at once, and am happy to state, he has not had a Chill or Ague since. You should lose no time in giving this Tonic an extensive cir¬ culation—it will prove a welcome friend and a great blessing to the afflicted. Yours, truly, JOHN H. DAVIS, The above case is known to me, and is strictly true. WM. WILLIAMS. Near Sommerville, Tenn., June2\st, 1844. This is to certify, that I have been afflicted with FEVF.R and AGUE for nine years—that it baffled the skill of the first practical physicians in West Tennessee, and that I have been permanently cured by the use of the INDIAN TONIC, purchased from GEO. W. HOUSE, pro¬ prietor. 1 have also administered it to my negroes, in every case a cure has been affected. JAMES C. WHYTE. We, citizens ef Nashville, have known Mr. James C. Whyte for many years. He is a gentleman of the highest respectability, and of undoubted veracity. N. A. McNAIRY, August 7, 1844. HENRY BATEMAN. From Joseph F. Myers, Druggist, Fort Madison; Iowa Territory, Sept. 15, 1844. Dear Sir:—I am induoed to write to you, in consequence of your infallible Medicine, called INDIAN TONIC, for AGUE AND FEVER. It took some time to get this medicine to take by the people, as there are so many pernicious nostrums put upon the public. But your unri¬ valled TONIC has succeeded in every case heard from; In a few dayB I shall be out; and if you see fit to send another box of your Tonic, I shall be able to sell it, as there are chronic cases over all seasons. The second bottle I sold, cured a case of nine months' standing—I should have said the one half of the bottle cured the above named case. If you send another box, do it immediately. I am your most obedient servant, JOSEPH F. MYERS. Prairieton, Vigo co. Indiana, Dec. 6^,1844. Our esteemed friend, Geo. W. House —Is informed that his Cir¬ cular of 22d ult. has been received. The Indian Tonic seems to answer the purpose for which it is intended. We have particularly noticed two cases of its curing the third day Ague, on a man and his wife—which had ran on for some time, and to cure which, other remedial agents had been repeatedly tried. Very respectfully, we are, &c. JOHNSON & HOGGATT. From Owsley & Jones, Druggists, Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 20,1844. Dear Sir:—By request, we drop you aline in relation to your In- dian Tonic. It has met with great success. We could give you a num¬ ber of cases, but will name a case which we deem sufficient. Mr. Jacob Hiner and wife, after laboring under Fever and Ague for some months— and after calling in medical aid without relief—purchased a bottle of your Indian Tonic, which performed an immediate cure on them both. Respectfully, OWSLEY & JONES. Hardinsburg, Ky., Dec. 27,1844. Mr. Geo. W. House:—Of the Indian Tonic left with me by your agent—ail sold but ten bottles—all who purchased have expressed sat¬ isfaction. Two of our best Physicians have tried it, and have pre¬ scribed it in their practice. Yours, respectfully, CHARLES HAMILTON. * — Williamsport, Indiana, January 1, 1845. I was attached with a hard Chill, which was followed by a high Fe¬ ver. I took a bottle of the Tonic according to directions, and have not had a Chill since, and it proved equally successful in two other cases in my family. I am now prepared to recommend the Tonic, having prov¬ ed its efficacy to perform a speedy and perfect cure. Yours, &c. E. KING. To Geo. W. House, Nashville, Tenn. From, Geo, Rearick, Jacksonville, Illinois, January 1, 1845. Geo. W. House—Dear Sir:—Yours of the 22nd November last, is before me. Your Indian Tonic has succeeded better than any other Fever and Ague medicine ever sold here. Yours, &c., GEO. REARICK. From W. F. Short, Post Master, Rumsey, Ky., January 3, 1845. Dear Sir:—I received a letter from you, some time since, wishing to know the success in the sales of your Indian Tonic, and to report any important cures. A case was presented to me some time since, of a gentleman having had Chills for three years; and all medicine hay¬ ing proved ineffectual, I prevailed on him to use your Indian Tonic, and he says he was cured by the first bottle. Yours, respectfully, W. F. SHORT. Terrs Haute, Indiana, Jan. 9, 1845. Geo. W. House, Esq: Your annual circular reached me some time since. Although I have had to battle against Doctors Sappington's and Brandreth's Pills and Tonic—for the citizens of this city and country had faith in Sapping¬ ton's and Brandreth's medicine in the cure of Ague and Fever—still they have to acknowledge they only cure for a short time—while your Indian Tonic cures entirely—and to the people of this vicinity, I can¬ not recommend your invaluable Tonic too highly • Your friend, JAMES JOHNSTON. Sharon, Mississippi, January 20, 1845. Geo. VV. House, Esq: The Indian Tonic left wilh me is nearly all sold, and has proved efficacious in restoring those afflicted wilh chills—some six or eight members of my own family have been restored by the use of yourea:- cellent Indian Tonic. Send me a half gross. Yours, &c , A. D. DUVAL. Roche Port, Mo., April 16th, 1845. Mr. Geo. W. House: Sir—I was taken with the CHILLS and FEVER, some time in March, and had them with a few intervals, the whole of the spring and summer of '44. I took QUININE and bitters of all kinds, which only stopped them for a week or two. Lastly, I procured a bottle of your valuable INDIAN TONIC, and following the directions, it stop- ed the Chil's at once, and I have had none sinee. I write this that you may publish it for the benefit of the world. Yours, &c., J. WILLIAMS. Nashville, May 24, 1845. Having an attack of Chills, I procured and used "House's Indian Tonic" according to directions, and was cured by it in a few hours—:I therefore feel free to recommend it to these thus afflicted. A. NELSON. Extract of a letter dated Independence, Mo., September 13,1845. "Mr. Geo. W. House: Dear Sir—We send you the "Western Expositor," containing an advertisement, to which we have appended a certificate of several of our most respectable citizens, whose names (we thought) would be a strong recommendation in favor of your medicine. "We are now selling it very fast; but have had, and still have to contend against other preparations for the cure of Ague and Fever, which were better known by the people generally, and some of which are very good—for instance Sappington's Pills, &c. We are now sell¬ ing the Tonic almost daily, and have never yet known a single in¬ stance of its failing to cure; and we believe, that when its efficacy is generally known, it will be the only Medicine used in this country for the cure of Fever and Ague. Very respectfully, C. W, BOYERS & CO. Spring Creek, Tenn., Oct. 10, 1845. Mr. Geo. VV. House: D ar Sir—We have sold the Indian Tonic yntir Agent left with us — and all but tv^o boxes of Pills. We wish » new supply. The Ton¬ ic has not failed in a single instance to effect a permanent cure, and some of the patients had been afflicted with the Ague six months. We consider the INDIAN TONIC (he best Ague medicine wo ever sold, and we have been silling Patent Medicine for twelve years. Send as a supply of the Tonic and Pills as soon as possible. We are, very respectfully, your friends, PETT1RGREWS & GRAY. From the Nashville Whig. The success of neighbor House's medicines is certainly very flatter* ing. The following is an extract from a letter he received a few days since, from Mr. A. W. Hatch, Druggist at Milwaukie, Wisconsin. We have examined the letter, and find it to be genuine: Extract of. a letter, dated Milwaukie, Wisconsin, September 30, 1346. Mr. Geo. W. House: Dear Sir—"I am successor to L. J. Higby in the Drug business.— At the time I purchased, I took eight dozen of your "INDIAN TON¬ IC"—and having occasion to use some of it, found it possessed good qualities—and very soon sold out. I now say to you, that I think it the best medicine in use for the cure of AGUE & FEVER, and I want you to send to me—(I should think for a year's supply) — about (1000) one thousand bottles. Send it as soon as possible, to the care of L. J. Higby, and oblige Your ob't. servant, A. W. HATCH." Hopkins County, {Ky.) Oct. 10, 1846. Mr. Geo. W. House: Dear Sir—The Pills and Tonic are successful in all cases, so far as I have learned. They stand as high as any medicine can stand—i think unsurpassed by any medicine in our country . I have but nine box¬ es of the Pills on band, and intend keeping six of them for my own use, as I don't want to be without them. Yours, respectfully, ARTHUR M. SMITH. Carthage, (Tenn.) JVbu. 10, 1846. Mr. Geo. W. House: Dear Sir—I have just tried a bottle of your "INDIAN TONIC," for the Chills, and found immediate relief. 1 have sold out my stock of goods, and consequently have nothing to do with selling the stock of Tonic remaining on hand when I sold out. I deem it nothing but jus¬ tice to state to you that during the last year (whilst I sold for you) I sold 52 bottles of your Tonic, and there ware but two bottles that failed to t-.a* j the desired effect—and I believe it to be what the bill around the bottle represents it. I am, very respectfully, Your friend, W. E. JONES. Mill Creek, (JVear Nashville) Dec. 6, 1846. Mr. Geo. W. House:—Some weeks ago I wa9 attacked with Fever and Ague of the most violent kind. In a few days I became so re¬ duced, that I could not walk without some one to steady me; I used such remedies as I had before found efficient, (Sappington's Pills one) and still each succeeding paroxysm became worse. 1 became sensible that one more, or two at most, would close my earthly course. I had no respite from them—there was no sweating stage—chill succeeded fe- ver. I recollected having seen your advertisement of your "INDIAN TONIC," and procured a bottle which I took according to prescription. The chill and ague, much mitigated, came on; and, in about an hour, as usual, was succeeded by a chill only, instead of a violent ague, and that was the last of it. I consider if there is any such thing as a specific, your "Indian Tonic" is one—I have heard of no instance of its failure. WM. CHANDLER. Roche Port, Missouri, Oct. 17, 1845. Geo. W. House, Esq: Dear Sir—The country around here is full of Ague and Fever, and I write to inform you that your TONIC has performed a wonder¬ ful cure on me. I had the Ague two years, and by taking one bottle, was perfectly cured. I write this, that it may be a recommendation to the people around here. Yours, respectfully, WILLIAM WARD. Extract of a letter from the Editor of the "Republican" Jackson, Tenn. Dec. 18, '45. Mr. Geo. W. House: Dear Sir—Your most excellent ANTI-AGUE MEDICINE has long been sold, and a hundred bottles more could have been disposed of since, as the calls have been frequent, and much disappointment ex* pressed at the absence of your Tonic. Not a bottle remains unsold in this vicinity—nor would there have been any left, had the number been ten fold. It is deservedly esteemed the very best, safest, most pleasant, yes, positively the only infallible core for CHILLS I have ever seen. I speak from experience, having used several bottles in my own family— and with most astonishing and unprecedented success—never a chill after commencing. It is the ne phis ultra, ol Ague fluids. Respectfully, yours, &c. J. H. DAY. From the Orthopolitan, Nashville, August 14, 1S46. No one need fear AGUE & FEVER so long as "House's Indian Tcn- io" can be had. From the Politician, Nashville, Tenn,, August 28, 1846. We have seen of late frequent notices of onr neighbor HOUSE S Medicines. The following is from the "Arkansas Democrat" (pub¬ lished at Little Rock) of the 7th inst. The reputation of his Tonic must be very high abroad, judgfftg from the large quantity he is constant¬ ly sending forth to the public. We are informed that it does knock out the Chills in double-quick time. Mr. H. occupies a part of the Whig building and if industry and perseverance are any recommenda¬ tion to success he certainly deserves it. But to the extract—here it is: "Unparalleled Dispatch.—We see it stated in one of the English papers, that at a trial of speed on the Liverpool and Manches¬ ter Railway, a locomotive actually traversed a distance of sixty miles in one hour. Sleam is some in its way, and this is a specimen of rather tall travelling, but it is nothing ta be compared to the velocity with which the'GREAT REMEDY'[House's Indian Tonic] relieves the'Chills.' In five hours a perfect cure is effected. Our friends T. D. Merrick & Co. and Tucker and Hamilton, have it for sale." Livingston, (III.) Dec. 11, 1846. Mr. Geo. W. House:—If this will do yourself or the public any good, you can have it. Your agent left with me one dozen of yonr valu¬ able "AGUE MEDICINE," some two years ago. It was with great reluctance that I would take the agency, but I sold one or two bottles which proved first rate, and the same persons came for more. Every case proved a sure cure, and one case of FEVER was cured without the nid of any other medicine. So great was the call for your "INDIAN TONIC," that I believe I could have sold fifty bottles more. W. H. BRYAN. From the Rev. Tho,s. B. Wilson. Union Seminary, Lawrence co., Ala., > January 8, 1847. ) I have tried "House's Indian Tonic" in two or three cases, and find it very efficacious in arresting the "Chills"—and would recommend it as a valuable family medicine. THO'S. B. WILSON: THE GREAT REMEDY. Reason as you may, the fact cannot be disguised, that for the speedy and effectual cure of CHILLS or AGUE & FEVER, "HOUSE'S IN¬ DIAN TONIC" is without a parallel in medicine. Read and believe. Hopkins County, Kentucky, Feb. 28, 1847. Mr. Geo. W. House: Dear Sir.—Your INDIAN TONIC & PILLS, stand high with all who have tried them; I insured the cure of two cases of CHILLS & FEVER of longstanding: The first was a Lady, that was taken with a Chill every day—the hus¬ band called in a Doctor, he tried the case some two weeks and stopped it, but it returned in a few days. The second Doctor was called in, he reduced it to the third day, and could not break it from that, and quit trying. I told the husband I would insure a cure if he would follow the directions, and for $1 25 would stop the chilis the next day. There was a great many people present, who thought I bragged too largely.— He came home with me and got^bne bottle of TONIC and one box of PILLS, it cured her, and she has had no chill from that day to this.— The other was a similar case, a man, who had tried two of the best, or two good doctors for two months without any good effect, He told me he had taken all the medicine they had to spare without curing him, I told him I could cure him, if I did not, I would not charge him any thing. The first bottle did the business, Yours with respect, ARTHUR M. SMITH, HOUSE'S CELEBRATED VEOETABIiE PILL. Superior to any Purgative now known for expelling Disease from the System. Thi9 Pill is made of Vegetable substances only, and is prepared with the greatest care, according to the rules of Pharmacy. To all who labor under any lingering or Chronic disease, they are pecially recommended. In GOUT, WHITE SWELLING, FEVER SORES, SCROFULA, and NERVOUS DEBILITY, they never fail to give relief. In RHEUMATISM, there are many well authenticated cures of long standing—in this disease they have no equal. In DROP¬ SICAL AFFECTIONS, and diseases of the WOMB, and those growing out of it, they are exceedingly valuable. Bilious and all other Fe¬ vers, are subdued at once, by their speedy action upon the whole system. Ih LIVER DISEASE, DYSPEPSIA, HEADACHE—sick and nervous—ERUPTIONS of the skin, PLEURISY, CROUP, Loss op Appetite, DYSENTERY, or DIARRHOEA, and Habitual Costive- ness, they stand unrivalled. Influenza and common Colds, are broken up by them in a single night. In short, their effect and tendency upon the human system, is to assist nature in expelling all obstructions which produce disease. In all cases of a Billious character, they act as an Emetic, as well as a Cathartic, cleansing both stomach and bowels completely —and leave the system in a healthy condition. Every fami¬ ly should keep a supply. Planters every where, and particularly in the South, will find them the very medicine for plantation use, by which disease is soon disarmed of its sting—human misery mitigated speedily, and much saved in time and doctor's bills. The following definition from an eminent medical writer, explains how these Pills can, and do accomplish so much. HEALTH.—"When all the functions of the system are duly and freely performed, a person may be said to be in health." DISEASE.—"Any alteration from this 9tate, or when any part ceases to perform its natural functions, disease is the consequence." DISEASE A UNIT.—"Is it irrational or unphilosophical, to consid¬ er disease a unit, all its innumerable forms or symptoms being derived from one cause, acting upon different tissues of the body." To the above, the answer i9 plain—all we want is an agent that will remove the cause, and restore Nature to her proper functions, and health is the sure result. HOUSE'S VEGETABLE PILL WILL EFFECTUALLY DO THIS 1st. They combine power with mildness of action, and act throughout the whole alimentary canal, cleansing it, and producing a healthy state. 2nd. They remove offensive accumulations of the bowels, lessen arte¬ rial excitement, and restore the secretions and excretions. 3rd. They equalize the circulation, expel from the system the sources of irritation, and stimulate all the organs and functions of the body to a healthy condition. 4th. Being entirely free from any mineral whatever, they may be taken at all times with benefit and perfect safety. A great amount of the beat evidence eould be added, to establish the high reputation of this PILL—but the trial and use of a single box, will be worth more to the invalid, than the combined certificates of the whole world. A small amount of evidence, however, is here appended. From A. D. Duval, Sharon, Mississippi, January 20, 1845. Mr. Geo. W. House — In compliance with your request, I state tha' I have been a citizen of Sharon, Madison County, Mississippi, upwards of two years; and from the use of your PILLS among my negroes in all cases that have occurred, have not failed in the first instance to give re« lief—and I have not called on any Physician to administer to any servant since I have been in Missisippi—I have therefore saved several hundred dollars as I conceive by using this very valuable medicine. Send me a half gross. A. D. DUVAL. By special permission from Mr. John J. Hooper, of Wilson county, Tennessee, the Proprietor is permitted to mention the case of his daught¬ er, who was severely afflicted with Fever Sores, and was cured effectu¬ ally by three doses of HOUSE'S VEGETABLE PILLS. Mr. Geo. W: House: Dear Sir—In answer to your request, to know what effect your Pill — called '"House's Vegetable Pill—has had in restoring Mrs. McNairy's health —I reply — that from their use (after using many other remedies) she has been relieved from all Rheumatism; and her health in other respects greatly benefitted. She has so much confidence in their superior efficacy in removing disease, she would not be without them. Yours, respectfully, N. A McNAIRY. The case of the proprietor is well known. He was very severely afflict¬ ed with RHEUMATISM for upwards of four years; had the best medical aid within reach—visited the HOT SPRINGS in ARKANSAS twice— used "a thousand and one" remedies without producing any permanent good —and was at last cured by these Pills. What he suffered during nearly five years, is not in the power of thought to conceive of or lan- guage to express. Froin tlie Banner Advocate—Lebanon, Tenn,, February 17, 1843, edited by Rev. F. R. Cossit. A REMARKABLE CURE OF THE RHEUMATISM. More than two years ago, at Nashville, we were introduced to Mr. Geo. W House—a son-in-law of our valued friend, Joseph D. Ham¬ ilton, Esq., deceased, formerly of Russellville, Kentucky, At the time Mr. House was laboring under a severe Rheumatic affliction, was walking upon his crutches and seemed destined soon to fall the victim of an incurable disease. We are informed, he had consulted the most skilful Physicians and tried a variety of remedies without benefit. During a visit to Nashville a few weeks since, a young gentleman sa¬ luted us, whom we could not remember as an acquaintance, for we never could have recognized in the healthful countenance and plump figure now before us, the pal6 visage and emaciated form, which had so enlisted oar sympathies more than a year ago. This gentleman proved to be Mr. House. He says a radical euro has been effected. We speak what we know, and testify what we have seen. For further in¬ formation we refer our readers to Mr, House's communication in this paper. Nashville, May 13th, 134G. Mr, Geo. W. House: Dear Sir—With the view of benefitting the af¬ flicted, I cheerfully give my name, and testimony to the supeiior effica* cy of your Pills in Rheumatism — having administered them to a servant much afflicted with Inftamatory Rheumatism vvith complete euc- cees. The effects were immediate, and the cure prompt. Yours Respectfully, JOHN H. ATKINSON, M. I). Nashville, May 18th, 1846. Mr. Geo. W. House: Dear Sir—At your request, I take pleasute in 6tating that your Vegetable Pill effected a most astonishing care upon me of Rheumatism about two years ago—and have had no re¬ turn of it since—I was much afHicted, as my friends can testify, and had almost despaired of finding a cure — but sir, your Pill gave me im¬ mediate relief, and cured me in the course of about two weeks. I would advise all that are afflicted to do as I did—try them. Yours Respectfully, W. W. OWEN. Mr. Owen was living at my house at the time he was so much afflict¬ ed with Rheumatism, and what he states above I know to be true. P. W. MAXEY. 1 was boarding in the house with Mr. Owen at the lime he speaks of, and can give my testimony that he suffered exceedingly with Rheuma¬ tism, and was speedily cured by the use of "HOUSE'S PILLS." C. S. HOBBS. Nashville, (Tenn.)Dec. 9th, 1846. Mr. Geo-. W. House: Dear Sir—This will certify that Mrs. Ham¬ ilton was speedily cured of a sevore attack of Rheumatism by your in¬ valuable "VEGETABLE PILL" after all other remedies tried had failed of effecting the least good—and she was treated by one of our most skillful'physicians. I will say, that from the speedy relief afforded in the case above named, and others that I have heard of, I consider your PILL a specific for this dreadful disease. J. M. HAMILTON. Extract of a letter from Dr. Strong. Columbia, South Carolina, ) May 2, 1847. $ Mr. Geo. W. House i Dear Sir:—While I was in Augusta, I was sick twice with Fever, and two doses of your "PILLS" cured me thoroughly at a time. They operated pleasantly and mildly upon my bowels, and expelled all ob¬ structions from my system, evacuuting bilious matter from my bowels, from eight to fifteen times a day. They are the best purgative I ever tried. Yours respectfully, J. J. STRONG. Extract of a, letter, Purely, Tenn,, Feb. 20, 1847. Mr. Geo. VV.

An acquaintance of mine has used your Rheumatic medicine (Pills) and speaks in high terms of it,— in fact, it produced a cure of lite disease. Respectfully, &c. GREEN M'GEE. Wilson County, Tennessee, Feb. 23, 1847. Mr. Geo. W. House:" Dear Sir—I have to report to you an immediate cure of Rheumatism upon a Negro woman of mine by your highly valuable "VEGETABLE PILL.'' As miraculous as it may appear, she, was cured by two doses only—and 1 believe the cure a permanent one. Yours Respectfully, GEO. C. BRETT, Gen. Collecting Agent, Rural Hill, Wilson Co. Tenn., May 30, 1847. Mr. Geo. W. H ouse: Dear Sir—I take pleasure in giving you a statement of a cure per¬ formed by your "VEGETABLE PILL" upon a sister of mine with Rheumatism. In the latter part of April 1846, she was attacked with Rheumatism; was affected all through the whole system; she could not feed herself nor turn herself in the bed for three weeks, and had been as helpless as an infant for that length of lime until she began to take your PILLS; I called at your office, and got a fifty cent box of your Pills and commenced giving them to her on Sunday night. I called the next Sunday morning to see her—she got up out of bed without help and walked to the fire, and after some time got up and walked to the bed; and very soon got well, and has not had any attack of that terrific dis¬ ease since. I therefore freely recommend your Pills to all thus afflicted, and would further state, that I have used no other medicine iu my family for the last twelve months but your Pills and Indian Tonic, and have been successful in every case. Yours Respectfully, b. c. brown. WZt&W®* (H^EMERRHOIDS.) HOUSE'S FIlcE OINTMENT, Is a most valuable, safe and certain cure for the PILES. Prepared only by GEO. W: HOUSE, Nashville, Tenn.

HOUSE, Nashville, Tenn. iCF*Triee 50 cents a bos. Tetter or Herpes is a troublesome and frequently a very painful disease. It attacks and destroys the skin, cellular substance, and in some in~ stances the muscles themselves, and is considered very difficult to cure. With the above facts before us, the importance of obtaining the right remedy is apparent to every one. From the many cures made by Houses' Cerate, in difficult cases of Tetter, Scaldhead and Ringworm, it is confidently offered to the public as a safe and certain cure for the above diseases. It may be well to state, that House's Cerate is no un« tried remedy; but has been in successful use for many years, with un¬ paralleled success — and that success, together with the many strong so« licitations from those who have been cured by it, induces the proprietor to put it up for general use, which he does at a price to place it within the reach of all who may wish to avail themselves of its powerful curative effects. All that will be necessary is to follow the directions, which are plain. Prepared by GEO. W. HOUSE, JVashville, Ten. £25"Price 50 cents per bottle. READ! Fayette County, Ten. Aug. 3d. 1846. Geo. W. House, Esq.—Dear Sir:—I had the Tetter for about six months when your truly valuable Tetter Cerate reached me. At first it was small, but gradually spread over the greater portion of my face. I tried various remedies - first those of a more simple character. I next applied to the Apothecary, and then to two of our best Physicians. I Buffered considerably by burning from Creosote, and Corrosive-sublimate. I was evidently getting worse when I commenced using your Cerate- it had a happy effect—by continuing its use, I am now prepared to say to you, sir, that a permanent cure has been effected.
