jWAlisler's All-healing Ointment
m WORLD’S SALVE
The preceding figure it
ff;Ven to represent the IN- j
Sensible perspira
tion. It is the great E-|
VAC CATION for the im
purities of the body. Itwili
bo noticed that a thick clou- |
dy mistiasuesfrom allpoiuts
of the surface, which iiuli
cates the wonderful process !
going forward within. This ;
perspiration flows uninter- :
ruptedly when we are in '
, ,. health, but ceases whenwe i
arc sick, it should be the careof every one to seethat |
it is notchecked. Life cannot be sustained without it.
It is thrown oirfrom the blood and other I0*??*,0/-1 *C
body, and disposes, by this means, of nearly alUhe im
purities within us. The blood, by -this means only,
works itself pure. .,
Would you give physic to ass-roe the port s. Ur,
would yon apply something that would dothm upon the
surface, where the obstruction actually exists. Would
uot this be common sense ? And yet 1 know of no ph> - j
siciau who makes any external application to cHect it.
The rcasonl assign is, that no medicine within their
knowledge is capolle of doing it. Under these circum
stances, f present to physicians and to all others, a prep
aration that has this power iu its fullest extent. It is
McAlister's All-Healing Ointment, or the Worlds
Salve. It has POWER to restore perspiration on the
feet, on tbe head, around old sores, upon the chest, in
-hortupon any part ofthe body, whether diseased slight
ly or severely. When the perspiration is restored.it
has power to penetrate lotho lungs, liver, or unv other ,
part of the human system, and so to act upon them, if
they be diseased, as to separate the irritating orniorbid
particles therefrom, and expel them to the surface.
It has power to cause all external sores, scrofulous
humors,skin diseases, poisonous wounds, to discharge
their putrid matter and then heals them.
It is a remedy that sweeps off the whole catalogue of
cutaneousdisorders, and restores the cutire cuticle to its
healthy functions. . ,
It !•a remedy that forbids the necessity of so many !
i deleterious drugs taken into the stomach. _
i Itisaremsduthatueithersickeus, givcsincouvenicncc
or is dangerous to the intestines or any other part ol the
body* « , .
Thisremetli/ is probably the only one now known,that
is capable ofpiodueiug all these great results. Its great
value is in restoring at once, the circulation of the Hums
when checked or deranged by cold or other causes. It
j preserves and defends the surface from all derangement
' of its functions, while it keeps open the channels for the
blood to void all its impurities, and dispose ot all Us
| useless particles. There is a remarkable harmony- and
j co-operation betwen this medicine and the various fuuc

THE BRANERE7H PZZ.X.S.
TY70RKS OF NATURE.—In a state of health the
j W intestinal canal may be compared to a river whose
: waters flow over the adjoining land, through the chan
nels nature or art has made, and improve their quali
' itics ; and to keep un the comparison of the river, so long
l a. it runs on smoothly the channels are kept pure and
healthy ; but if by souu> cause the course ot the river is
stopped,’then the water in the canals is no longer pure,
but soon becomes stagnant. There is but one law of
circulation in nature. When there isa superabundance
' of huinorial fluid (scrosity) in the intestinal tubes, and
: costiveness takes place, it flows back into the blood res
! sels, and iufiltrate* itself into the circulation. To estab
[ H,h the free course of the river, we must remove the
! obstructions which stop its free course, and those of its
1 tributary streams. With the body, follow the same
natural principle—remove the obstructiens from the bow
i els, with BRANDRETIl’S PILLS, which never in
j jure, but arc always effectual for the perfect cleansing
i of the system from foulness or disease. By persevering
1 in this 'practice, the wavs of the circulation will then
be restored in the full exercise of their natural functions,
: and a state of health will be firmly established Rc
' member, never suffer a drop of blood to be tuken from
I you. Evacuate the humours as often and as long as they
are deranged, or as long as you arc sick.

I OFFER for sale a Tract of Land lying on the
South Fork of Rockfish River, in Nelson Coun
ty f adjoining the lands of James Woods, Esq.,
! Mr. Samoel Woods and others, containing by old
survey between
FIVE AND SIX HUNDRED ACRES,
a considerable portion of which is Rockfish low
grounds and branch flats. The balance is all ara
i ble high land of good quality—indeed is very su
I perior. The low grounds and branch flats fine
meadow land. There is on the tract an ample
! supply of timber, and one or two very desirable
rock quarries. ' „ ,
The improvements consist of a Mill, propelled
j by Rockfish river, built in modern style, with cast
iron machinery, and two pair of stones—the base
| ment story of stone ; a good Saw Mill, good framed
Barn, Corn Houses, Stables, Tobacco Houses, i\e
| gro Houses with brick chimneys, a small
dwelling house,
1 Ice House and other necessary out-houses, and an
| Apple Orchard of excellent winter fruit.
Rockfish Valley is situated at the Eastern base
of the Blue Ridge Mountain, is a high and roman
! tic country, alike remarkable for its beauty, health
! fulness and fertility: and the tract now offered for
sale has long been regarded among the most desira
ble in that section of country. It is distant from
Howardsville on James River, and the Canal, a
bout eighteen miles; from the contemplated Depot
on lhe°Railroad now in progress from Charlottes
ville, across the Blue Ridge, to Staunton, only
eight or ten miles; twenty miles from the Univer

j rpHESE are the times in which men look for the
; -*■ doings of the world and general information, to
the Press, which is, bythe-by, the true path-finder
! for business men, as well as those who wish to make
! every Penny count most for themselves. This be
ing the order of the day, the undersigned wish to
, keep with the current, and at the same time give
| the reader a good hint which path to travel to make
his money count most. A few good reasons will
satisfy the reader at once why it is that they can
and will sell any gentleman a suit of Ready-made
Clothing, from the commonest every day suit, to a
fine Sunday and superfine wedding suit, cheaper
than any other establishment. In the first place,
then, they are able to sell cheaper than other
establishments, because they are well acquainted
with their business. They buy and sell for Cash,
and know when and where and how to purchase
their goods. “Goods well bought are half sold*” |
| Even if they had no advantages over any one in
! their line of business, they can still undersell them, |
| because they require no large profits to make up for ;
large expenses. They attend to their business them- j
| selves, and therefore incur but small expenses^com? |
paratively speaking, in carrying on the same, 'lhey
J sell their Goods for Cash, 3tid therefore require no 1
large profits to make up for lo3s sustained by credit j
sales. No one will doubt that the Cash system,,
together with small profits, is the best mode of deal-;
ing and most advantageous to the purchaser. If
any one doubts this, he will be convinced of its
truth by calling at the CLOTHING AND VA- |
RIETV STORE, Corner of the Virginia Hotel,
j where he will find a large assortment of all kinds
; of Ready-made Clothing, for Menand Boys’wear,
! such as Cloaks, Over-Coals, Frock, Sack, Business
; and Dress Coats, Pants and Vests of all descrip
j lions, Woollen Under shirts and Drawers, all kinds !
! of Shirts, Collars, Cravats, Handkerchiefs, Gloves,
| Caps and Hals, together with some fancy articles,
j all of which they will with pleasure exhibit for ex
amination to those who call upon them. Their pri
ces are such as will salify every one that this is the
place to buy Fall and Winter Clothing. Theaub

Their thanks for the liberal patronage which they
