DEVOTED to Literature, the Arts, Sciences,
Agricultural, Education, &c., &c. The first
number was issued in January last.
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 possess the negative quality
of not deing injurious, but in which the pos
itive ore of being really useful will alone
be found; giving a healthy tone of 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—bettor members of society at
large, and preparing thera 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 frulh and virtues—with no
doubtful morality marring its pagee—suita
ble for all, and proper to be read at all times.
All the important movements and events
of the times will recoive attention, and the
news of tho month curefully gleaned and
chronicled.

THE TRUE DIGESTIVE FLUID,
OR
JTFSRA® 3G A
A Great Dyspepsia curer, Prepared from
RENNET, or the fourth Stomach of the Ox,
after directions of Baron Liebig, the great
Physiological Chemist, by J. S. Houghton,
M. D., No.ll, North Eighth Streot, Phila
delphia, Pa.
This is a truly wonderful remedy for Indi
gestion, Dyspepsia, Jaudiro, Liver Com
plaint, Constipation, and Debility, Cufing
after Nature's own method, by Nature's own
agent, the Gastric Juice.
BP" Half a spoonlut of this Fluid, Infused
in water, will digest or dissolve, Five Pounds
of Roast Beef in about two hours, out of the
stomach.
DIGESTION,
Digestion is Chiefly performed in the
stomach by the aid of a fluid which freely
exudes from the inner coat of that organ,
when in a state ol health, called the Gastric
Juice. This fluid is the Great solvent of the
Food, the Purifying, Preserving, and Stimula
ting Agent of the stomach and intonstines.
Without it there will be no digestion,—no
conversion of food into blood, and no nu
trition of the body; but rather a foul, torpid,
painf'il, 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 onßue.
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 de ith, and sometimes causes the
stomach to digest itself, or eat itself up. It
is also found in the stomach of animals, as
the ox, calf, &c. It is the material used by
farmers in making cheese, called Rennet,
the effect of which has long boon the spe
cial wonder of the dairy. The curdliug of
milk is the first process of digestion. Ren
net possesses astonishing power. The.stom
ach of a calf will curdle nearly one thou
sand times its own weight of milk. Baron
Liebig slates that, 'One part of Pepsin dis
solved in sixty thousand parts of water, will
digest meat and other food." Diseased
stomachs produce no good Gastric Juice
Rennet or Pepsin. To show that this want
may supplied, we quote the
following
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE!
BANON LIEBIG, in Lis celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: "An Artificial Di
gestive Fluid analagous to the Gastric Juice,
may ho readily prepared from the nucous
membrane of the stomach of the Call, in
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 in the human stomach."
Dr. l'ereira 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 jhis valuable writings on
the "Physiology of Digestion," observes
that "a diminution of the due quantity ol
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
tliis 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 "Cheipistry
of Man," (Lea & Blantjhard, Phila., 1846,
pp. 321-2): "The discovery of PEPSIN
fo ms a new era in the chemical history of
Di gestion. From recent experiments we
know that food is dissolved as rapidly in an
artificial digestive fluid, prepared from Pep
sin, as it is in 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 tho living hu
man stomach 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 the
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 tho limit
of this advertisement—but authenticate
certificates have been of more than two hun
dred Remarkable Cures, in Philadelphia, New
York, and Boston alono. These were
neai.'y a" desperate cases, and tho cures
wero not pnly rapid and wonderful, but per
manent.
It is a great NcrvfttlS Antidote, and par
ticularly useful for tendency to billions 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 tho
too free use of ardent spirits. It almost rec
onciles Health with Intemperance.
OLD 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
Instant Relief I A single dose removes all
the unpleasant symptoms, and it only needs
to bo 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, Heavir.ess, Lowressof
Spirits, Despondency, Emanciation, Weak
ess, tendency to Insanity, Suicide, &c.

PANACEA.
The nfilicted are invited to call and see Mr
Isaac Brooks, Jr., at the corner of Third and
Wilcox streets, and Miss Christiana Sands,
Beach street below Spruce street, t n the Schuy I
kill. These two persons have been snatched
from the very jaws of tho dostioyer. through 'he
agency of that most potent of all medicines,
DR. CULLEN S INDIAN VEGETABLE
PANACEA.
Dr Cullcn's Panacea is the only cirtain cure
for Scrofula or King's Evil, Tetter, Erysipelas,
Old Sores and Ulcers, Mercurial Diseases, and all
other afTcslions, cutaneous or otberwise, arising
from impurities of the blood.
In the extraordinary cure of Mr. Brooks, peo
ple who visit him, hold up their hands in as
tonishment, that ANY medicine could have ar
rested HIS disease—then go away resolved to re
commend l)r G'ullen's Indian Vegetable Pana
cea to every oue they hear of who has need of a
purifying medicine.
So with Christiana Sands—her cure of Scrof
ulous sore throat was quite aB extraordinary as
Mr. Brooks', when wo reflect that from the dis
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 Sarraparilla are little
better than molasses, und that it is madness to
throw away money on articles which, under the
most favorable circumstances, do not produce
any impression on tho systom until several gaL
ons have been swutlowcd. Ono bottle of Dr.
Cullcn's Panacea seldom fails ta produce con
viction in the minds of patients that a radical
cure is certain.
Thus hope, [lO necessary, an ally to medi
cine.] springs up at the outset, and the patient
la cured before any other preparation could have
made the slightest impression upon the disease !
In fact, the twelve ounce bottles of Dr. Cul
lcn's Panacea, compared with the pint and quart
bottles of other purifiers, are valuable about in
the proportion of gold to copper. Those who
woule prefer a penny to a half eagle, on occount
of its Bizc, would make a poor selection to say
the least.
Sarsaparilla a good purifier! Dr. Cullcn's
rnnacea contains its oxlract in its most concen
trated form. Added to this are other extracts,
more active and poweiful, and which ell'eot in
combination with tho Sarsaparilla, what the lat
ter article, or combined with the most pewerfu
poisons, cannot alone accomplish.
It has cured where everything elso 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
olhcr parts of the union. And bo it distinctly
understood that we do not obtain our extracts by
"holing 400 gallons down to one," it being
known to eveiy druggist's apprentice that boiling
dcstioys tho essential virtues of medicinal plants

DR. HOOFLAND'S
CELEBRATED BITTERS,
PREPARED BY
DIl. M. JACKSON,
AT TIIE
GERMAN MEDICINE STORE,
No. 120 Arch Street, Philadelphia.
Their power over the above diseases is
not oxcelled, if equalled, by any other rep
aration in tne United States, as the cures
attest, in many cases after skilful physicians
had tailed.
Theso Bitters are worthy the attention of
invalids. Possessing groat virtues in the
rectification of diseases of the Liver and 1 is
scr glands, exercising the most searching
powers in weaknoss and aflcctionsof the di
gestive organs, they are, withal, safe, cer
tain and pleasant.
Read and be Convinced.
The Hon. Charles D. Hiueline, Editor of
the "Camden Democrat,"the best paper in
West Jersey, says, July 21: —
"HoorLAND's GERMAN BITTERS." —"We
have seen many flattering notices of this
medicine, and the source from which they
came, induced us to make inquiry respect
ing its merits. From inquiry we wore per
suaded to use it. and must say wo found
it specific in its action upon diseases of the
liver and digestive organs, and the powerful
influence it exerts upon nervous prostration
is really surprising. It calms and stregthens
the nervesj bringing them into a state of re
pose, making steep retreshing.
[From the "Boston Bee."}
The editor said, Dec. 22d—
"Dr. Iloofliind's Celebrated German Bitters
for the cure of Liver Complaint, Jaundice,.
Dyspeysia, Chronic or Nervous Debility, is
deservedlv one of the most popular medi
cines of the day. These Bitters have been
used by thousands, and a friend at our elbow
says be has himself received an effectual
and permanent cure of Liver Complaint
from the use of this remedy. Wo 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 thdir 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. Hoofland's German Bitters. —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 ot the most celebrated physicians of
modern times, the late Dr Christopher Wil
lielm Hoofland, Professor to the Univeisity
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'
ihe.efore a medicino 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. Nijie Philadelphia papers express
their conviction of its excellence, and sev
eral ot the editors speak of its effects from
their own individual experience. Under
these circumstances, we feel warranted, not
only in calling the attention of our readers
to the present proprietor'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 neivspapet 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 German Bitters, we wish it to be dis
tinctly understood that wo are not speaking
of the nostrums of the day, that are noised
1 about for a brief period and then forgotten
after they have done their guilty race of mis
-1 chif, but of a medicine long established,
universally prized, and which has met the
1 hearty approval of the Faculty itself."
Evidence upon evidence has been re
ceived (like the foregoing) from all sections
ot the Union, the last threo years, and the
strongest testimony in its favor, is, that there is
more of it used in the practice of the regu
lor 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 Iheir qui
et approval when presaged even in this
form.
That this medicine will cure Liver Com
plaint and Dyspepsia.no one can doubt, af
ter using it as diiectod. It acts specifically
upon the stomach and livor—it is preferable
to calomel in nil bilious diseases —the effect is
immediate. They can be administered to
FEMALE or INFANT with safety and reliable
benefit, at anytime.
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 iunoeently deceived.
LOOK WELL TO THE MARKS OF THE GENUINE.

JACKSON upon the wrapper, and the name

The Geatest Because (he Best Fan'

IS WORSDELLS VEGETABLE RESTORE
All Vfcj PILLS, iliey have succeeded iu
curing some of the worst cases, of disease
ever recorded, and Rro daily accomplishin
the restoration of persons after having tried
in vain to obtnin relief from any other
source. One of the Proprietors is a regular
physician of extensive experience, who de
voles his time exclusively to their prepera
lion. For FF.VER& AGUE, they have nev
er yet failed. At least one thousand easos
in Iho neighborhood of Philadelphia, have
been cured since tho first of Sept., last. In
Dyspepsia, Rheumatism, Liver Complaints
Scrofula, for Worms, and all other disease,
of children, they are unequalled by anythin"
ever prepared for the purpose, while for the
various diseases of Females there is no me
dicine tan compare with them. There is
more of them sold—they are in greater de •
mand than any other pill—and when once
introduced in a family, they need no other
medicine. Flach box containing Fifty Pills,
renders them the cheapest, while they are
decidedly the best, as well as the mildest in
aetion, of any now in the market.
The Editor of the "City Item," thus
speaks of them :
E?* READER, you are suffering from fever
and ague, and you have never tried Wors
delt's Vegetable Restorative Pills. Shake no
more. There is still hope for you—you may
yet be cured- Go, or send at once to A. •
Weeks & Co., 7o North Eighth street., and
procure a box of these unrivaled pills,which
areasovreign antidote for this distressing
complaint.
Col. Forney of the Pennsyluanian,
says :
WORSDELL'S PILLS. —This excellent family
medicine is daily winning new triumphs •
over disease, and consequently in the high
road to public favor. In the removal of tne
every day ills that flesh is heir to, we know
of no better compound. We heard the oili
er day o£ a desperate caso of scrofulous e
ruptious of the head and face being euirely
cured by them.
I)a Solle of the "Times," says :
C 9" Tho great popularity of Worsdell's
Vegetable Pills, is attributed to the just mer
it which they really possess. They have
been quietly gaining the fame they now
have, by tire force of their own virtues.
The means usually employed to give eclat
to new remedies have not been adopted by
the proprietors. They have been content to
let their medicine speak for itself. It is now
doing it in every section of tho country.
They are for sale by most of the Store
Keepers throughout the Country,and in quan
