To the Physi rians of North ('arolinUj
and to all who use lAtjUor as a
Medicine or as a Reveraire.
PH\SICI.ANS who prescribe Alcoholic Liquors for
Medicinal purposes should give the preference to
WOLFE’S SCHEIDAM AROMATIC SCHNAPPS.
1. It is manufacture.! at Scheidam, in Holland, aud
exclusively in the factory of the proprietor, by process
es aud from material elsewhere unemployed and un
known.
2. It is provetl, by the repeated analysis of several
eminent chemists, to he entirely free from the perni
cious fusil oil which ramains in every kind d‘ lii^uor
distilled from grain, and which is the cause of the ner
vous and visceral .lerangement, serious cougestion, and
morbid desire for habitual aud intemperate indulgence,
which such li|uors itivariably tend t» superinduce.
3. It is proved by the same unerring tests that the
Juniper Gin is not flavored with the coarse, acrid and
indigestible oil of Juniper heretofore used, Itut with
tho specifically lighter, more voUtile, aromatic and
medicinal of tho two essentia! oils of the Italian Juui-
per berry, neglected by every other manufacturer.
4. It is chemically proved to be absolutely pure in
its rectification—a tjuality obtained by an entirely new-
process, and which no other Holland Gin in the world
has acjuired.
5. It is proved by extensive medical experience and
testimony, to be an efficient as well as an agreeable
remedy in many cases of incipient dropsy, gravel, chronic
gout, rheumatism, flatulence, colic, concretions in the
kidney and bladder, dyspepsia, fever and ague, gene
ral .lebility, sluggish circulation of the blood, deficient
assimilation of food and exhausted vital energy.
»5. It is a most grateful and renovating cordial, and
when used as directed, never inflames the system or in
duces inebriety, but tends rather to subdue the latter
frailty, by creating a di.slike to all inferior li.piors. And
it invariably corrects the ill effects of bad water,
whether in swampy or limestone districts. In all of
these enumerated qualities it has no rival in any mar
ket in the woril.
Since the intro.!uction of this celebrated medicinal
beverage into the United States, a number of Liquor
Dealers in New \ ork and our other largo cities have
commenced counterfeiting it. The genuine is only sold ! ^B1HE Subsciiber has in Store, and is receiving, liis

^jj|lUE North Carolina .Annual Conference of the
J. Methodist Episcopal Church South, having de
termined to issue a weekly paper bearing the above
name, the subscribers are authorised to issue this
prospectus.
It is intended to publish a finnilt/ newspaper, which,
while it shall be religious in tone and sentiment,
and maintain the doctrines aud usages of the Me
thodist Church, shall be devoted to all the inter-
of North Carolinii, and furnish intelligence for
every class of readers. In size ami appearaner the new
periodical is to be equal to any of our Church papers,
while it will surpass them all in adaptedness to the
wants of our people. The entire insufficiency of the
existing “Advocates” to the necessities of our position
forces us to the publication of our own paper, aud we
confidently expect the hearty co-operatiou of the
Members of our Church in all parts of the .State and
(’onference, and hope to make the paper so interesting
and instructive as to attract patronage from the pub
lic generally.
The “Advocate" will be .published at $1.5(» a yeivr
and the first ntimber will be issued as early as prac
ticable after the next Session of our Conference. It is
believed that the publication will be commenced on the
1st uf January, 185tj. It is desirable that as large a
subscription as possible be obtained before the (’on
ference and the Ministers and all others interested in
the enterprise are respectfully urged to secure and
forward the names and address of subscribers, partic
ular attention being paid to correctness in writing the
names of persons, post offices and (’ouuties. Those
who may have no opportunity of tsubscribing through
the agency of our Ministers may write directly to Rev.
Wm. E. Pell, Fayetteville, N. (h
The payment will be expected upon the issue of the
first number. The locution of the publishing office
will be determined at the Session of Conference.
