A Monthly Journal principally literary and
miscellaneous, embellished with beautiful
and meritorious engravings, designed to fur
nish the heads of families, as well as the
youth of both sexes, with a variety of en
tertaining and instructive information, which
will not merely possoss the negative quality
of not deing injurious, but in which the pos
itive one ot being really useful will alone
bo found; giving a healthy lone ot feeling
to their minds, and becoming instrumental,
it is hoped, in rendering them more happy
in themselves and in their families—more
useful in the various relations of life which
they sustain—better members of society at
large, and preparing them for a state where
all is absolute perfection. One particular
feature of this New Monthly publication
will be an entire freedom from all sectarian
spirit, and a careful avoidance of political
and controversial subjects in its pages—an
upholder of truth and virtues—with no
doubtful morality marring its pages—suita
ble for all, and proper to be read at all times.
All the important movements and events
of the times will receive attention, arid the
news of the month carefully gleaned and

ANOTHER SCIENTIFIC WONDER
IP HIPBIIBJB
THE TRUE DIGESTIVE FLUID,
OR
e 3a
A Great Dvspepsia curer, Prepared from
RENNET, or the fourth Stomach of the Ox,
after direction* of Baron Liebig, the great
Physiological Chemist, by J. S. Houghton,
M. D., No. 11, North Eighth Street, Phila
delphia, Pa.
This is a truly wonderful remedy for Indi
gestion, Dyspepsia, Jaudice, Liver Com
plaint, Constipation, and Debility, Curing
after Nature's own method, by Nature's own
agent, the Gastric Juice.
ty Half a spoontul of this Fluid, infused
in water, will digest or dissolve, Five Pounds
of Roael Beef in about two hours, out of the
stomach.
DIGESTION.
Digestion is Chielly "performed in the
stomach by the aid of a fluid which freely
exudes from the inner coat of that organ,
when in a state ot health, called the Gastric
Juice. This fluid is the Great solvent of the
Food, tho Purifying, Preserving, and Stimula
ting Agent of the stomach and intenstines.
Without it there will be no digestion,—no
conversion of food into blood, jtnd no nu
trition of the body; but rather a foul, torpid,
painful, and destructive condition of the
whole digestive apparatus. A weak, half
dead, or injured stomach produces no good
Gastric Juice, and hence the disease, dis
tress and debility which ensue.
PEPSIN AND RENNET. —Pepsin is the chief
element, or great Digesting Principle of the
Gastric Juice. It is found in great abun
dance in the solid parts of the human stom
ach after deith, and sometimes causes the
stomach to digest itself, or eat i'self up. P.
is also found in the stomach of animals, as
the ox, calf, &c. It is the material usei ' o y
farmers in makirg cheese, called Rennet,
the effect of which has long been the spe
cial wonder of the dairy. The, curdliu™ of
milk is the first process of Odgostion. Sen
net possesses astonishing v.ower. The stom
ach of a calf will curdle, nearly one thou
sand limes its own height of milk. Baron
Liebig states that, 'One part of Pepsin dis
solved in sixty thr yll9am ] p ar ( S 0 f water, will
digest meat r jl( i other food." Diseased
stomachs prince no good Gastric Juice
Rennet ot Pepsin. 'To show that this want
may be. perfectly supplied, we quote the
following
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
BARON LIEBIO, iu Lis celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: "An Artificial Di
gestive Fluid analagous to the Gastric Juice,
may be readily prepared from the nucous
membrane of the stomach of the Call, jn
which various articles of food, as meat and
eggsj will be softened, changed, and diges
ted, just in the same manner as they would
be iu the human stomach."
Dr. Pereira in his famous treatise on
"Food and Diet," published by Fowlers &
Wells, New York, page 35. states the same
great fact, and describes the method of prep
aration. There are few higher authorities
than Dr. Pereira.
Dr Combe, in .his valuable writings on
the "Physiology of Digestion," observes
that "a diminution of the due quantity of
the Gastric Juice is a prominent and all-pre
vailing cause of Dyspepsiaand he states
that "a distinguished professor of medicine
in London, who was severely afflicted with
this complaint, finding every thing else to
fail, had recourse to the Gastric Juice, ob
tained from the stomach of living animals,
which proved completely successful."
Dr. Graham, author of the famous works
on "Vegetable Diet," says: "it is a remar
kable fact in physiology, that the stomachs
of animals, macerated in water, impart to
the fluid the property of dissolving various
articles of food, and of effecting a kind of
artificial digestion of them in no wise dif
ferent from the natural digestive process.''
Dr. Simon's great work, the "Chemistry
of Man," (Lea & Blanchard, Phila., 1846.
pp. 321-2): "The discovery of PEPSIN
fo ms a new era iu the chemical history of
Di gestion. From recent experiments we
know that food is dissolved as rapidly iu an
artificial digestive fluid, prepared from Pep
sin, as it is iu the natural Gastric Juice it
self."
Professor Dunglison of the Jefferson Col
lege, Philadelphia, in'.his great work on Hu
man Physiology, devotes more than fifty
pages to an examination of this subject.
His experiments with Dr. Beaumont, on the
Gastric Juice, obtained from the living hu
man slomachi and from animals are well
known. "In all cases," he says, "digestion
occurred as perfectly in the artificial as the
natural digestions."
As a DYSPEPSIA CURER, Dr Houghton's
preparation of Pepsin has produced tho
most marvellous effects, curing cases of De
bility, Emaciation, Nervous Decline, and
dispeptic Consumption, supposed to be on
the very verge of the grave. It is imposs
ble to give the details of cases in the limit
of this advertisement —but authenticate
certificates have been of more than two hun
dred Remarkable Cures, in Philadelphia, New
York, and Boston alone. These were
neu ;lv all desperate cases, #id the cures
were'not dp'y rapid attd wonderful, but per
manent.
It is a great Nervous Antidote, and par
ticularly useful for tendency to billioil? dis
order, Liver Complaint, Fever and Ague, Or
badly treated Fever.and Ague, and the evil
effects of Quinine, Mercury, and other drugs
upon the Digestive organs, after a long sick
ness. Also, for excess in eating, and the
too free use of ardent spirits. It almost rec
onciles Health with Intemperance.
Ot.D STOMACH COMPLAINTS. —There is no
form of Old Stomach Complaints which it
does not seem to reach and remove at once.
No matter how bad they may be, it gives 1
Instant Relief I A single dose removes all
the unpleasant symptoms, and it only needs
to be repeated, for a short time, to make
these good effects permanent. Purity of
Blood and Vigor of Body, follow at once. It
is particularly excellent in cases of Nausea
Vomiting, Cramps, Soreness of the pit of
the Stomach, distress after eating, low, cold
state of the Blood, Heaviness, Lowp ess of
Spirits, Despondency, Emanciation, Weak
ess, tendency to Insanity, Suicide, &c.

PANACEA. '
The afflicted are invited to call and aee Mi
: Isaac Brooks, Jr., at the corner oI 'third and
1 Wilcox streete, and Mies Chiistiuna bands,
I Beach street below Spruce street,in the Schuyl
kill. These two persona have bien snatched
from tho very jaws of the destroyer through 'he
agency of that most potent of all medicines,
DR. CULLER'S INDIAN VEGETABLE
PANACEA.
Dr Cullen's Panacea is the only cartain cure
for Scrofula or King's Evil, Tetter, Erysipelas,
Old Sores and Ulcers, Mercurial Diseases, and all
other aflestiona, cutaneous or otherwise, arising
from impurities of the blood.
In the extraordinary cure of Mr. Brooks, peo
l pie who visit bim, hold up their hands in as
tonishment, that ANT medicine could have ar
rested 818 disease—then go away resolved to re
commend Dr Cullen's Indian Vegetable Pana
cea to every one they hear of who has need of e
purifying medicine,
80 with Christiana Sands—her CUJC of Scrof
ulous aoie throat was quite as extraordinary as
Mr. Brooks', when we reflect that from the die
ease her tea or coffee would frequently pass out
of her ears, when attempting to drink, [See
her certificate.] •
The people are beginning to understand, too
that the various Syrups of Sariaparilla are little
better than molasses, and that it is madness to
throw away money on articles wtfich, under the
most favorable circumstances, do not produce
any impression on the system until several gaL°
ons have been swullowed. One bottle of Dr.
Cullen's Panacea seldom fails to produce con
viction in the minde of patients that a radical
j cure ia certain.
| Tbusho|, [*> necessary, an ally to medi
cine.] springs up at the outset, and the patient
I ia cured before any other preparation could have
j made the slightest impression upon the disease !
| In fact, tho twelve ounce bottles of Dr. Cut-
I ten's Panacea, compared with the pint and quart
I bottles of other purifiers, ere valuable about in
j the proportion of gold to copper. Those who
woule prefor a penny to a half eagle, on account
lof its size, would make a poor selection to aay
j the least.
Sarsaparilla a good purifier! Dr. Cullen's
Panacea contains its oxtract in its most concen
trated form. Added to this are other extracts,
more active and powerful, and which effect in
combination with tbo Sarsaparilla, what tbc Ist
ter article, or combined with the most powerfti
poisons, cannot alone accomplish.
It has cured where everything else had failed
and this in a multitude of cases—not in Europe
or in the moon, (where so many great cures
have been performed,) hut in Philadelphia and
other parts of the union. And he it distinctly
understood that we do not obtain our extracts by
"holing 4UO gallons down to one," it being
known to every druggist's apprentice that boiling
destroys the essential virtues of medicinal plants
and roots.

1 almost despaired of being cured, having
tried physicians and numerous things with

DR. HOOFLAND'S
CELEBRATED BITTERS,
PREPARED BY
DR. .M. ICKtOV,
AT THE
GERMAN MEDICINE STORE,
No. 120 Arch Street, Philadelphia.
Their power over the above diseases is
not excelled, if equalled, by any other rep
aration in the United Slates, as the cures
attest, in many cases after skilful physicians
had failed.
These Bitters are worthy the attention of
invalids. Possessing great virtues in the
rectification of diseases of the Liver arid I la
ser glands, exercising the most searching
powers in weakness and affections of the di
gestive organs, they are, withal, safe, cer
tain and pleasant.
Read and be Convinced.
The Hon. Charles D. Hineline, Editor of
the ''Camden Democrat," the best paper in
West Jersey, says, July 21: —
"HOOFI.ANU'S GERMAN BITTERS."— "We
have seen many Haltering notices of this
medicine, and the source from which they
came, induced us to make inquiry respect
ing its merits. From inquiry we were pei
suaded to use it. and must say we found
it specific in its nction upon diseases of the
liver and digestive organs, and the powerful
influence it exerts upon nervous prostration
is really surprising, ft cairns and streglhens
the nerves, bringing lliein into# state of re
pose, making sleep relreshing.
[From the ''Boston Bee.' ]
The editor said, Dec. 22d—
' Dr. Hooflamfs Celebrated German Biltcrs
for the cure of Liver Complaint, Jaundice,
i Dyspeysiu, Chronic or Nervous Debility, is
j deservedly one of the most popular medi
j cines of tho day*. These Bitters have been
I used by thousands, and a friend at our elbow
says lie has himself received an effectual
! and permanent cure of Liver Complaint
from the use of this remedy. We are con
vinced that, in the use of these Bitters, the
patient constantly gains strength and vigor—
a fact worthy of great consideration. They
are pleasant in taste and smell, and can be
used by persons with the most delicate stom
achs with safety, under any circumstances.
We are speaking from experience and to the
afflicted we advise their use."
Judge M. M. Noah, a gentleman with
great scientific and and littcrary attainments,
said in his "New York Weekly Messenger,"
January 6, 1850.
"Dr Honjland's German Biltcrs. —Here is
a preparation which the leading presses in
the Union appear to be unanimous in re
commending, and the reason is obvious. It
is made after a prescription furnished by
one o: the most celebrated physicians of
modem times, the late Dr Christopher Wil
helm Hoollaud, Professor to the University
of Jena, Private Physician to the King of
Prussia, and one of the greatest medical wri
ters Germany has ever produced. He was
emphatically the enemy of humbug, and
the.efore a medicine of which he was the
inventor and endorser may be confidently - re
lied on. He specially recommended it in
Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Debility, Ver
tigo, Acidity of the Stomach, Constipation,
and all complaints arising from a disordered
condition of the stomach, the liver and the
intestines. Nine Philadelphia papers express
their conviction of its excellence, aud sev
eral ot the editors speak of its effects frogt
their own individual experience. Under
these circumstances, we feel warranted, not
only in calling the aueutinn of our readers
to the present proprietoi's (Dr. C. M. Jack
son's) preparation, but in recommending the
article to all afflicted."
MORE EVIDENCE.
The "Philadelphia Saturday Gazette," the
best family newspapet published in the Uni
ted States, the editor says of
DR. HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS.
"It is seldom that we recommend what
are termed Patent Medicines to the confi
dence and patronage of our readers; and,
therefore, when we recommend Dr. Hoof
land's Gerniau Bitters, we wish it to be dis
tiucflyuudcrstood that we are not speaking
i of die nostrums of the day, that are noised
I about tor a period a'tjd then forgotleU
after they have done their guilty race ot mis
chif, but ol' a medicine long established,
universally prized, and which has met tho
hearty approval ot the Faculty itself."
Evidence upon evidence has been re
ceived (like the foregoing) from ail sections
ot the Union, the last three years, aud the
strongest testimony in its favor, is, that there is
more of it used in the practice of the regu
lar Physicians of Philadelphia than all other
nostrums combined, a fact that can easily
be established, and fully proving that a sci
entific preparation will meet with their qui
et approval when presented even in this
form.
That this medicine will cure Liver Com
plaint and Dyspepsia, ne one can doubt, al
ter using it as aitected. It acts sppcifically
upon Ihe stomach and liver—it is preferable
to calomel in all bilious diseases —the effect is
immediate. They can be administeied to
FEMALE or INFANT with safety and reliuble
benefit, at any time.
BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS.
This medicine has attained that high char
acter which is necessary for all medicines to
attain to induce counterfeiters to put forth a
spurious article at the risk of the lives of
those who are innocently deceived.
LOOK WELL TO THE MARKS OF THE GENUINE.

ever recorded, and are daily accomplishin

Dyspepsia, Rheumatism, Liver Complaint,
Scrofula, for Worms, and all other diseases
of children, they are unequalled by anything
ever prepared for the purpose, while for the
various diseases of Females there is no me
dicine can compare with them. There is
more of them sold—they are in greater de
mand than any other pill—and when ones
introduced in a family, they need no other
medicine. Each box containing Fifty Pills,
renders them the cheapest, while they are
decidedly the best, as well as the mildest in
action, of any now in the market.

speaks of them :

Col. Forney of the Pennsylvanian,

medicine is daily winning new finmphs
over disease, and consequently in tbe high
road to public favor. In the removal of the

of no better compound. We heard the oth

ruplions of the head and face being eniroly
cured by thorn.

fiT The great popularity ol Worsdell's
Vegetable l'ills, is attributed to the just ,ner

been quietly gaining the fame they now
