Entered accDrding to act of Congress, in the year 1SS9, tjr the year 1?93, by James H. Enniss, in the Office of the Librarian ot Congress at Washingtou.

j^" Note.—This Almanac bears the name of TURNER'S N. C. ALMANAC, in iiOQor of the lat* Henrv D.

The calculations of this Almanac are made in mean solar or clock time. This is the time indicated by a well regulated watch or clock, and does not correspond with the sun precisely, except on four days during the year. Apparent time is that which mikes tbe sun coino' to the meridian at Vi o'clock. No o'ood clock will rua with the sua; if set with it at noon, January 2nd, the clock would seem to be o'ne minute too fast, January 3rJ, at noon. Tc adapt the calculations ot this Almanac to apparent time, use the minutes in the column marked "sun slow" or ''sun fast," add them whuafasi, subtract them whenslotv. The calculations are made for the latitude and longitnde of Kaleigh, N. C. ; but the times, phases, etc., will vary only a tew minutes for any pari of North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and Ten- nessee. :R,ising- arLcL Setting- of. tli.e S-o-an. The A'manacs eeneraliy used have made the rising and setting together equal 12 hours. This is incorrect. During some portions of the j'ear the sun changes so rapidly in Right Ascension and De- clination that it makes a material change in the Diurnal Arc during the day. The times here given have been rigorously calculated and compared with the best authority, and are true to the nearest

1. The nearer the time of the Moon's change, first quarter, full and last quarter are to midnight, the fairer will be the weather du'ing the next seven days. 2. The space for this cilculation occupies from ten at night till two next morning, '3. The nearer midday or noon the phases of the Moon happen, the more foul or wet weather may he expected during the next i^even days. 4. The space lor this calculation occupies from ten in the forenoon to two in the afterijoon. These observations refer principally to the Summer, though they effect Spring and Autumn nearly in the same ratio. 5. The Moon's change first quarter, full and last quarter happening during six of the afternoon hour's i. e,, from four to ten. may be followed by fair weather, but this is mostly dependent on the wind as is noted in the table.

:o: The following peisonal experience of prominent members of the Medical Faculty with regard to the efficacy of iSECKWITH'S ANTI-DYSPEPTIC PILLS, should carry with it conviction to any unprejudiced mind, and induce a fair trial of this invaluable medicine. De. JOHN MINGE, formerly of Berkley, Va., says:—It is with pleasure that I assure you of the great benefit I have received personally from the use of your pills; and their happy effect in my own person led me to use them in an extensive practice near Mobile, and always with decided benefit and with repeated application for more of them, particularly in all cases proceeding from Indigestion."

Db. THOS. J. JOHNSON, of Natchez, Miss.; says; "For more than twelvemonths I had labored under a disease of the Liver and Spleen in its most distressing form, indigestion, with all its horrors, was its natural attendant-sleeplessness, emaciation, and wretchedness follows. * * * I beg you to accept my thanks—no cold, formal, stiated thanks, but thanks from the bottom of my soul, commensurate with the great benefits conferred, with the blessings of health restored by the hands of a benefactor, though a stranger, for I verily believe you have endowed with flesh and blood a skinny skeleton—the flesh and blood are here, the appetite is rich, morbid sensations dissipated, and I know of no assignable cause for the transformation than the use of Beckwith's Anti-Dyspeptic Pills. Mercurials, blisters, cicuta, scarifications and cups, with the whole artillery of,the shops, had been exhausted without relieving the disease."

:o:

Frequent applications from those who have confidence in "BeckAvith's Anti-Dyspectic Pills," and in their Author, for a Pill of more actively purgative properties, haxe induced him to issue one calculated to supply the demand. The Pills are therefore designed expressly as an active purgative, and possess »highly Anti-Bilious qualities. They are not offered as a panacea—they promise no cures but such as are well known to fol- low a thorough action upon the bowels; but whenever an active purgative is required (and they are few who do not daily determine this fact for themselves,) these Pills may be safely taken. As an Anti- Dyspeptic they should not be taken, dyspeptics have no business ordinarily, with purgatives of this class. The laborer, the hearty feeder, with sluggish bowels, the habitually bilious, —in short, all who desire or need to have their bowels urged to more active duty, may rely upon the efficiency of these Pills.
