Purify the Blood and C ha use the
Body. It is an establi7ied fact that a very
large class of diseases can only be cured by
such remedies as will enter into the Blood,
and circulate with it, through every por
tion of the body, for only by this means
can the remedy be brought into immedi
ate contact with the disease; and to attain
this desirable end, no preparation has ever
been so uniformly successful as Dr. Jayne's
Alterative. Scrofula, King's Evil, Can
cer and Cancerous Tumors, White Swell
ings, Enlargement of the Bones, Chronic

have recently prevailed ' in England, and
which on similar occasions have heretofore
invariably extended to us.

free trade, of equal rights, of a separation

dear to us, and that we will not be induced

these old time honored and long cherished
principles; that we approve the meeting of

Another Republic. By the arrival at
New York, on Sunday, of the barque D.
Godfrey, Captain Bearse, from Palermo,
the Courier and Enquirer has dates to the
12th of February. Capt. B. states that
up to the period of his sailing, the difficul
ties in Sicily, so far from ceasing, were
rather on the increase, and the, revolution
was gaining greater strength and conse
quence. ; - . .
King Ferdinand had made the concess
ions required of him, but they came too
late. The people had imbibed the idea of
a republic, and the despatch containing the
announcement of thcyielding to their wish
es for chartered privileges was torn to
pieces.
The castle at Messina alone, of all the
island, remained in possession of Ferdi
nand's troops, and that was hotly besieged
by the citizens, who were receiving succor
and arms from Palermo. The whole pop
ulation of tK island were in nrms. and two
large vessels loaded with munitions and
arms had left Palermo for Messina, where
the munitions were to bedistributcd among
the people.
The nobility favored the people. A
meeting was to be held on the 1st inst.,to
decide upon a form of government, and it
was very probable a republican form would
be adopted.
From ihe Fayeltevilte Carolinian,
Animal Magnetism. For the last two
weeks, Dr. B. B. Williams has been, lec
turing and experimenting in this place on
the curious effects of animal magnetism.
We believe that every man, woman, and
child, has been interested in the subject to
a greater or smaller degree; and the ques
tion appears to be now rather "who disbe
lieves" than "who believes" in the truth
of the experiments made.
Men are not very ready to believe any
thing they do not understand; and yet they
do believe many things that they do not
understand; simply because they have been
taught to believe them. Now, the fact is,
no man disbelieves in animal magnetism
from any other cause than that he does not
understand the principles of its operation;
and upon the same principle he ought not
to Relieve nearly one-half of what he never
! thinks of doubting.
We attended but.iwo of Dr. Williams'
lectures, because we had other uses for time;
; but believing as we did before, in the prin-
ciple of the thing, we saw nothing to make
us doubt what we before believed; and al
though some of the experiments were of a
most singular nature, they added nothing
to our convictions. We believed as much
before we saw Dr. W's experiments as we
believe now.
And what is it we believe? Why one
simnl nronosition: that there i3 electrict-
- - j
ty in man's body. And upon this simple
fact is based every experiment that is
made in animal magnetism. - At least such
is our opinion. And what stronger proof
is needed of the existence ot electncjiy in
man's body, than the fact that he can be
shocked by a galvanic battery; or that his
nerves are subject even in health, while
asleep, to convulsive twitches; or, that his
hair emits sparks by friction; or that a gal
vanic battery of considerable pojver, when
applied to a man, dead, but not cold, will
give him motion, and some have believed
that it might be made to restore life itself.
will sicken another.
It is also asked why, ; in these experi
ments, are such imperative terms used, and
commands given with guch austerity.
The simple answer to this is, that man is
acted on by impressions made on his mind
to ah extent which he little dreams of. r
Who has not seen men suspect a thing, or
in other words, have his! mind impressed
with a certain idea, and. religiously believe
it, when at the same time there was no
truth in it. Faith is an all powerful ele
ment in man's composition, and it is from
a knowledge of this fact that it : is written
unless ye have faith! ye cannot inherit the
kingdom of heaven" and also "faith with
out works availeth nothing." 4
The lectures- and experiments of Dr.
Williams have been attended by gentlemen
of this place, of all; shades of capacity and
intellect; and some who hooted at magne
tism have been) forced , to acknowledge
their, conviction of its truth, while others, ;
who were willing to test it, have been
confirmed. A number of gentlemen of
our town, among them some of the best
educated men, have paid the fee to receive
instructions in the mystery; and have
made the same experiments that Dr.' Will
iams has. These gentlemen did it, not to '
deceive any ' body, but to convince them- r
selves, and others who have confidence in .
them, of the truth or falbity of animal mag- ,
netism. Now the question is, can any one
believe that these gentlemrn our fellow
citizens, are deceived, and are trying tode-.
ceive others? Although it would add no
thing to the truth' of their assertions, we
rather think that the man who should un
dertake to tell them so, seriously, would '
meet with a "knock down" argument.
With regard to the "therapeutical" agen
cy of magnetism, or its power as a practi- t
cal alleviator of the ills that flesh is heir to, .
we know nothing except from hearsay. .
Dr. Williams is overrun with patients '
the sick the lame the blind the deaf- f
all flock to him. Thus far, it is said that
he has restored one man from lameness to
the use of his limbs another case of lame ;
ness he appears to be succeeding remarka
bly well with. But even if he succeeds
in curing many, it remains to be seen
whether the cure will be a permanent one,
or whether the patient .will not again reV ,
lapse into the same state, and require, from
time to time, this magnetic influence to he
renewed.' Such we think will, be the case,
in many instances, where the patient is
benefited; but if this should be the case, it :
proves . nothing against ., magnetism; for
when a physician enables a man to rise
from his sick bed, he does not guarantee
that he shall be sick no more; nor do peo
ple have less faith in physicians because
they do not so guarantee; or because men
do get down sick, again and again.
But, to close the' subject, suppose that
neither Dr. Williams nor, magnetism had .
ever been heard of before, and he had. ap- r
peared here and said he could do these
things. Thousands would have been as
tonished; but we have made up our minds
not to be astonished at any thing. How
can any man who knows of , the events;
that have occurred within the last fjftyr
years, be astonished at any thing? Are
not events occurring every year enough to
make us so familiar with astonishment that .
if it were possible, we , could feel no such
emotion? ,
Therefore,' we say, that with the light of
the last , fifty yearsi before us, we consider
it decidedly unsafe, and certainly unwise,
inany man, to declare what is, and what is
not impossible. Looking to the next fifty,
years, who cin say what miracles will be
performed by the never-tiring and never
ceasing labors of the mind of man? Who (
can say that even greater wonders than an
imal magnetism can boast, are not in futu
rity? Let them doubt that cheese this, .
free country. , i v: :
