TO THE PUBLIC, and particu/ariv to nay former
racer's of this city:—llnving retired from the
practice of Medicine. ( may be permitted to say, that it
has fallen lo the lot of lut few persons to have enjoyed
so liberal or hare a share of obstretrical practice as my
own has been for th, last 30 or 40 years.
The experience of that long period of active life. and the
fact of my having been twlee,since 1830, associated with
Dr. R. A. Wilson, in the practice of medicine, (in both a
period of five years.) enables me to judge fully of the
merits of his pills.
So convenient, so efficient. and yet so see. did I esteem
these pilko bat for the last five years In my practice for
the cure of chronir diseases,of whatever cams, and those
of females in particular, I have used more of them than
all other medicines.
Like every other medicine. this must fail in come in
stances, but in my hands there has been less disappoint.
ment nd more satisfaction In :le administration of this
one remedy than of ail others; its good eticcts sometimes
quite astonishing me.
If my patient required a safe aperient medicine either
fore or after parturition, the Wilson's this were just
the thing I wanted.
If a dyspeptic acid condition of the stomach, combined
whit costiveness or inactivity of the liver. constituted the
disease 3f my patient. the pills were just the thing I
wanted.
If I treated a ease requiring an emmenagogue, the
Wilson's pills were Just the thing, I wanted.
If palpitation, headache, flushed countenance, or other
difficulties, indicating a disturbance of the circulatory
and secretory systems, annoyed my patient at the turn
of life,' the Wilson's pills werejust the thing I wanted.
Thus, without resit:et to the name, a disease might
happen to wear at the time I have had it under treat
ment, particular indications or symptons arising, were
alvays mo't promptly and most happily met by the
Wilson's pills.
That so great a number ofdiseases, and sometimes ap.
parently opposite ones, in which I have used these pills,
should be euted more readily by them than by any other
remedy, may at first seem strange and contradictory, but
why it Is so Is as clear to my mind as that a great many
persons should become thirsty from ha many different
causes, and yet all require that common and greatest of
all blessings, water to quench their thirst.
in conclusion, It is due the reputation of the medicine
and the nubile, to say decidedly and onconditlerally,that
the Wilson's pillsaretheonly combination I have ever
met with In my longeonrse of practice, that really NS
emesanything curative or specific for nick headache,

WM. k PHILIP RAKER
DAILY MORNING POST•
Dr. LARDNER is at present delivering a
course of lectures at Savannah. From
an ediorial notice of one of thorn on the
subject of the heavenly bodies, published
in the Savannah Republican, we make the
following interesting extract:
The Doctor commenced by saying that,
although telescopic observation does. not
enable us to ascertain the fact that tha plan.
ets are inhabited, yet there is a mass of
concurrent testimony, which is almost con
clusive. If one were to land on an island,
and to find there houses well warmed and
protected against the weather, well lighted
up, and having all the comforts and neces-
series which men regnire, one would feel
perfectly assured that such an island cone
tamed organized beings like ourselves,
even though no human creature *eta vie*
In like manner, when we inves.tigate the
movements of the heavenly bodies, we find
a similar adoption of their economy to the
wants of beings like rurselves, It is as—
certained that they have atmospheres,
clouds, a diurnal motion, the vicissitudes of
seasons, and all the other phenomena,
which mark the chaiacter of our own
zlobe. I•' is a curious fact, that the planet
Mercury, which is nearest to the sun, has
an atmusphe►e more charged with clouds
than, any other planet on the solar system.
flits wise provision is obviously intended
o screen and shelter that orb from the in-
tense solar light'and heat whieh might oth.
erwise make existence intolerable there.
So dense is the covering of clouds around
Mercury, that it is quite imposible to ob
tain more than occasional glimps , 's of the
disc Qf it.
This is also the case with Venus, though
not to so great an extent. Sir John Her.
schell has succeeded, after much • careful
examination, in joining together the obser.
ved prtions of Venus, so as to make a tol—
erable plan of its surface. Its diurnal ro•
tation takes place in about the same time
as that of the earth. This was ascertained
by a German philosopher, who, on obser
ving the crescent of Venns'with his teles
cope, noticed that the extreme point, or
tip of the horn of the crescent, become
gradually bleated, and that after a certain
time the point was as gradually restored
. , .
to its luminous appearance. Continued -.
observations showed that. this succession
of appearances was perfectly regular, and
that it occupied in a few minutes less than
24 hours. ThA explanation of this is, that
a mountain at this place cast - a shadow.*
which shadow, by the diurnal minion of •
the planet, was first lenr2theticri, then redn•
~,'
ced, add finally. disappeared, CO return
again at
intervals perfectly regular.
.-..r ,
Sir John Herschel] asceriidaed the cri
titnal motion of Mars, by noticing a speck
i
I ()Oita surface, and watching its return- a.
I gain to the same point. -This.took place'
with the utmost regularity- sfiowing
.that
,-
the days and nights on the planet Mara ,
were nearly on : the same duration- as our.
own.
own. As the distances of the Planets from
the sun increase, the clouds 'become leis
and less dense, allowing a greater portion
of solar light and heat t. leach the more
remote ones.
It a singular fact, that, as a general•
rule, the distances of the planets from the
sun goon neary cL•uhing at each remove.
There is, however, between the ,prbits of
Mars aid Jupiter an unusually wide space.
This led to the conjecture that diet e ought
to be a planet there, in order to render the
plan complete. It was by accident that
the first one of the four small plaue!s (or
asteriods) existing there was discovered.
It is presumed that other fragments exist,
though ton small to be seen. These aste
roids, Ceres, Pallas, Juno, and Vesta, are
supposed to be the fragments of a broken
planet. The fact, that they are not per
fect spheriods, but angular masses, comes
in aid of this supposition. Another fact,
which is singular, is, that their riaihs es
calculated, appear to proceed from the
same point; and it is demonstrated, too,
that these orbits must, al regular periodical
limes, carry each of them through the same
position in the heavens.
A German philosopher has made a - mest
singular calculation in regarl to the dis
tances of the planets from the sun. He
has c(mstructed a table, as follows:
0 3 6 12 24 4S 96 192
4444 4 4 4 4
4 7 10 16 28 52 100 196
MVEM— J S
The, reader will observe, that the upper
line of figures begins with zero, and then
goes on doubling each time, starting with
3.
The constant quantity 4 is added to each
of these numbers; ar,d the results, from ad. ,
dition, show the representative dis:ance of
the planets from the sun, beginning at Mer
cury on the left. Observe the blank v Bich
occurs in the vacuity between Mars and
Jupiter. It is between these otl;its that it
was thought a planet ought to exist, cor—
responding to the distance 28, and here
the fragmentary bodies (asteroids) or
wrecks of 'a shattered world' have been
discovered. It will not fail to - strike any
one as most wonderful, the singular math
ematical system by which the Architect of
the Universe has measured and ordained
the positions of the heavenly bodies.
A preacher discoursing on the present
fashions, remarked that there, were more
•
corset boards in the assembly before
than would shingle a hen roost. .
