1 DR. H. F. PEERY'S
Vermifuge or "Dead Shot,"
FOR WORMS.
A Jkigkly valumhU preparation, cspable, from the
promptitude of ila action, of clearing tt oy$
? tern in a few ,hur$, of every Worm.
TTftl EKE is perhaps no disease in which Children
U are exposed so ycommm and fatal as vVorms;
they imitato the symptoms of almost every other
complaint, and often produce the most alarming ef
fect before tney are eopecieu. t ne sjoipiuma
w&ieh are produced by the irritation of worms in the
bow Is, and which' with some degree of certainty iu
dicsts their existence, are as follows Countenance
pale, ton rue whitelv furred, crindinr of the teeth,
fetid breath, stomach bard and swelled, wasting of
the I3eh, sickness and pains ia the stomach, bowels
either too costive or too loose, great fretfulness, un
naturarcravinj for clay, dirt or chalk, cholic, convul
sion, fiis, Stc. dec
Numerous certificates ef the value and usefulness
ef this preprstion are almost daily received.
The following, is from the Rev. W. B. Wintoo, a
distinguished preacher of the Methodist Church.
I Abingdon, Va., May 12,1843.
I-do hereby certify, that I have used Dr. Peery's
Vermifuge in my family to the great satisfaction of
my self and relief of my children. It is prompt in its
action, and in nece removed a Urge number of
worms in three or foui hoars after it was given to the
child. I am satisfied that as a Vermifuge it ia supe
rior to any that I have ever used.
W. B. WINTON.
Newbern. N. C Msy t3d, 1844.
Dear Kir I have been anxiously looking fr an
other supply of your " Desd rhnt Vermifuge.' as I
have not m in?l 'ml lefi. Th Are constant aj
T plications for the medicine, and I should be pleased
to supply the demand. It has proved itself, so far as
tried in this viciuity, to be a positive specific and no

Great Sale of Public Lands,
l.K iOICTII CAICOLIIMA.
THE President and Directors of the Literary
Fund of North Carolina, offer for sale, upwards
of Fifty Thousand Acres
Of Swamp Laud, situale in Hyde Couuty, in said
Stale, embracing the region lying between Albe
marle and Pamlico Sounds
These Lauds have been drained at great expense,
under tbe direction of tkilful Eugineers, by au Act
of the Legislature, and are believed lo be now in a
condition, to be cleared and cultivated.
This drainage has been erTected by two main Ca
nal, vix: Puugo Canal, exteudiug from the Luke to
tbe River, both of that name, G miles iu length,
with an average widlb at bottom of 22 feet, depth b
feet, and fall of 12 feet: And. Alligator Canal, from
the Lake of that uaine, lo Pongo River, 6 miles long,
with an average width at bottom of 30 feet depth o
7, and fail of 10 feet ; besides, sundry Tributaries
or lateral Ditches. They are, therefore, navigable
for Balteaux and emptying into Pamlico Sound,
their mouths are accessible to Sea going Vessels.
A large portion of this Laud abounds iu Juniper,
Cypress, and other valuable Timber, for which the
Forest of Eastern North Caroliua ia distinguished ;
and other parts cousiat of Prairie, covered with Cat.
and Bamboo, and iu the estimation of the Eogiueers
who surveyed it, are of great fertility. It is there
fore considered to ofTer peculiar inducements both to
Grain Farmers, aud the getters of Shiogles, Slaves,
Heading. &c , dec, and, wilh excellent Juuiper wa
ter, ia thought lo be more favorable to health than
most pane of the low country.
To immigrants, now arriving in the Porta of tbe
United States in unusual numbers, especially those
from Holland aud Germany. accustomed to a similar
country in many respects, these Lands will afford a
soil as fertile as any in the North-western Slates,
with easy access lo the Sea, and the great markets
ef the world, for its productions, and within three
days' sail of New York.
A credit of one, two and three years, will be given
lo Purchasers, on Bonds with approved security, and
the litis will be warrauted ; but deeds wilt be with
held, until the filial payment of tbe purchase money.

compelled to it in consequence of not being able to
find yours in this market, and take pleasure in being
ab'e to apeak ao favorably of it, and truat that my
opinion, founded on such long experience, will in
due many who may nut be ao well acquainted will
it merit, to give it trial.
Yours, respectfully,
