The field is large, affording ample room for all sincere and zealous label ers.

Thc entertainment and instruc? tion of tho young-especially the child? ren-will not bo forgotten; and our vene blo friend, "Uncle ^Fabian," so well and favorably known tft thc readers of the Confederate Baptist, will resume Ina labors in their behalf. In short, we possess all the facilities requisite to produce a paper of the first rank. As such, wc offer it to our brethren, and solicit their generous co-operation. The Baptist will be issued as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers have been secured. TEEMS-$3 a year, payable on thu recep? tion of the first number.

J. s. MCMAHON, City Clerk. The Great American Blood Purifier. TUR rnmrn wi.um rnilE QUbEN'S DELIGHT, tho g JL American Alterative and Blood Puri? fier, is thc mont perfect vegetable com? pound of alteratives, tories, diuretics and uiapliorctica; making it thc most effective invigorating, rejuvenating and blood cleansing cordial known to the world. In introducing thia n< w and oxtraordi nary medicine to tho public, observation leads us to remark that too lit ile at lennon is paid to tho "life of all flesh," the blood. Many diseases, and. too, many complaints, which have their origin in a vitiated state of the blood, aro treated only as symptoms and results; whereas, if tho remedy bad been applied to enrich the blood and ren? der it pure, both cause and effect would have been removed. Thc Queen's Delight is offered to the afflicted as a sure remedy for those diseases arising from an impure condition of thc blood. It has a direct and specific action upon that fluid, anil consequently renders the blood pure. It is saio, on high authority, that "man no sooner begins to live than ho begins to die, and that tho characteristics of the living organism arc ceaseless change and ceaseless waste." It is obvious, therefore, to every refiecting mind, that unless tho blood is pure, in supplying the waste tis? sues with material, it must be the cause, of inmimerable ills and constitutional disor? ders, such as Scrofula, Rheumatism, He? patic Disorders, Consumption, Inflamma? tions, Fevers, &c. Lifo and health, ia only to be maintained by the circulation of pure arterial blood. We, therefore advise every ont? whose blood is in tho least vitiated by indulgence or excess, and whose constitution is im? paired by disease and is suffering from Rheumatism, Liver Complaint, Consump? tion, Scrofula or King's Evil, Carbuncles, Roils, Itching Humor of tho Skin, Erysi? pelas, Skin Diseases, Tetter, Roughness of thc Skin, Pimples, Blotches, Pains in thc Rones, old Ulcers, Syphilis and Syphilietic Sores, Indigestion, Inflammation of the Bladder and Kidneys, Pains in the Back, General Debility, and for all complaints arising from deficiency and poverty of blood, to use the Queen's Delight. Females of delicate constitution, suffer? ing from weakness and depression Oi mind in consequence of those complaints w hich nature imposes at tho period of change, have a pleasant and sure remedy in tho Queen's Delight. Children whose fair and ruddy complex? ion gave early promise of health and beauty, but too soon become blanched and pale by some hereditary taint of the blood, will have the rich hoon restored by using the Queen's Delight. The unaeelimafed and persona traveling into warm countries will find the Queen's Delight a great protection from all malari? ous affection and diseases which originate in a change of climate, diet and life. The extraordinary and unprecedented cures performed hy the Queen's Delight Compound is attracting the attention ot every one, not only at homo, but abroad. Thc merits of this compound arc being felt ami appreciated everywhere. Hear what they say of i in New York: "It is a remedy of much importance anti value, exerting an in Huon ce over all the secre? tions, which is unsurpassed by any other known alterati\c. lt is extensively used in all the various forms of primary and secondary syphilitic affections; also, in scrofulous, hepatic a nd cutaneous diseases, in which its use is follow ed by the most successful results." Its properties as a remedy wore first in? troduced to the notice of the profession by Dr. Thos. Young Sinn,ns, of South Carolina, aa early as 182S, as a valuable alterative re? medy in syphilitic affections, and others re? quiring use of mercury. Dr. Simons' state? ments have been endorsed and extended by Dr. A. Lopez, of Mobile, and Dr. ll. R. Frost, of Charleston. From thc reports in its favor, there seems no reason to doubt the efficacy of tLis medicine iu Secondary Syphilis, Scrofula, Cutaneous Diseases, Chronic Hepatic Affections and other com? plaints benefited by alterative medicines.
