When the celebrated Dr. Rush declared ffiat
’drunkenness was a disease, he enunciated a truth which
the experience and observation of medical men if every

of those who indulge in the use of spirituous liquors,
caay be thus accounted for. The true cause of coniiict,
which is taken for infatuation, is very frequently

Sewing Machine,
The unrivaled popularity of I. M. Singer & Co’s
Sewing Machines wherever they have been used, is the
best evidence of their utility and adaptability to all
sorts of needle-work, from the finest cambric to the
heaviest carriage-trace. To those persons who value
time, neat, strong and regular stitching, they will be
found a valuable family acquisition. With the recent
improvements they, certainly, surpass all rivals yet pre- the Stampede in
sented to the public, and only need to .be seen to be
appreciated for their elegance and the facility of their
execution.
One of these elegant instruments may now be seen at
the residence of Mr. J. Theall, in this city, in successful

Matagorda, Texas, September 18, 1858.-tf
•\yEbeg leave to call the atten-
tion of the Trade, and more
especially the Physicians of the
country, to two of the most popu-
lar remedies now before the public.
We refer to
Dr. Chas. M’Lane’s Celebrated
Vermifuge and Liver Pills.
We do not recommend them as
universal Cure-alls, but simply for
what their name purports, viz.:
THE VERMIFUGE,
For expelling Worms from the
human system. It has also been
administered with the most satis-
factory results to various Animals
subject to Worms.
THE LIVER PILLS,
For the cure of Liver Complaints,
all Bilious Derangements, Sick
Head-Ache, &c. In cases of
Fever and Ague,
preparatory to or after taking Qui-
nine, they almost invariably make
a speedy and permanent cure.
As specifics for the above men-
tioned diseases, they are Unrivaled,
and never known to fail when ad-
ministered in accordance with the
directions.
Their unprecedented popularity
has induced the proprietors,
Fleming Brothers,
Pittsburgh, Pa.
to dispose of their Drug business,
in wnich they- have been success-
fully engaged for the last Twenty
Years, and they will now give their
undivided time and attention to
their manufacture. And being de-
termined that Dr. M’Lane’s Cele-
brated Vermifuge and Liver Pills
shall continue to occupy the high
position they now hold among the.
great remedies of the day, they
will continue to spare neither time
nor cxpcrxoc ux procuring the Best
and Purest material, andL com-
pound them in the most thorough
manner. Address all orders to
FLEMING BROS. Pittsburgh, Pa.
w Dtlalerl and bhyeiciana ordering from others
than F eming Bros., will do well to write their orders
distinctly, and face none but Dr. MLane's, prepared by
Fleming Bros. Pittsburgh, Pa. To those wishing to give
tnal. ye will forward per mail, post l Hfd. to any
part of the United States, one box of Pills for twelve
tnree-cent postage stamps, or one vial of Vermifuge for
fourteen thre^ent stamps. All orders from Canada must
be accompanied by twenty cents extra.

rendered perfectly pure.
Mv manufactory is at Scheidam, Holland. After
several months reflection what title to give it, I intro-
duced it to the American, public under the title of
‘Wolfe’s Scheidam Aromatic Schnapps?
Scheidam is the name of the place in Holland where
the Gin is manufactured : “aromatic,” derives its name
from the Italian Juniper berry with which it is flavored;
and the word “schnapps” is qhe German for dnuk—
coerue dram—Wolfe’s Scheidam aromatic drink. No
sooner had my Schnapps been introduced to the Amer-
ican public, and received with approbation, than the
liqnor-mixers of New X°rk, Boston and Philadelphia
started in pursuit wirh their mixed antf poisonous stuff,
trader various names. In several instances my labels
have been so perfectly imitated, with only the addition
of a few letters, to plead a technical avoidance of the
law and so carefully prepared, as to impose on carets
