fIMIIS volume comprises the observations
•* made during Mr. Greeley's recent Eu
ropean tour, on Society, Manners and Cus
toms. Art, Literature, Agriculture, Foreign
Politics, and a great variety of other attrac

It has copious notices of the Great Exhi

descriptions of the Cultivation of the Soil in
different countries; brilliant criticisms of (tie
Works of Art in th" Great European Capi
tals ; and graphic Sketches ol Public and

written iu the frank, straightforward, piquant
style, 'or which Mr-.Greeley is widely cele

A more authentic, instructive, and amus

becomes as interesting us a novol.
Whoever would obtain a fresh, daguerreo
vpo view of tho present state of England,
should not fail to make himself acquainted

and sparkling vivacity, that no one who com
mences the volhnie can lay it down without
finishing its perusal.
We confidently anticipate a very exten
sive circulation lor this work throughout the
Uuiled States. The name of Horace Gree

curiosity to Jeam the results of his European
experience. We are certuin no one can be
disappointed in this admirable recital of his
loreign adventures.

ESSENCE OP COFPEP.
A BOUT two years ago a new discovery
■f* was made iu Europe, consisting of a
substitute lor the ordinary store coffee, called
Essence of Collee, which has gone into gen
eral use with astonishing rapidity, not only
among the poorer classes, wno ut once dis
pensed with the use ol the celebrated Chick
ory Coffee, but is now in general use in the
wealthiest families and the first hotels, and
is highly recommended by the medical fac
ulty.
it ie extracted from pure, wholesome veg
etables. and excels all similar preparations
thai have ever been offered to the public,
either in this country or in Europe. Its su
perior quality lias already been attested to in
the cities by some of the most eminent phys
icians, and a number of the most distinguish
ed of the clergy and other highly respectable
citizens. Coffee made from this essence ac
cording to the prescription obtains a more
delicious and pleasant favor than the com
mon store coffee, and is certainly more
wholesome, especially for persons ill deli
cate health, which will be admitted by eve
ry physician who will tako die pains to test
the natule and properties of litis essence.
One paper costing only 12i ins., is equal
to four pounds of store coffee, will be bright
and clear without tho application of any
other ingredient to clarify or settle it. The
public are therefore invited to give this es
sence at lea6t a trial before they condemn it.
A respectable merchant of Luzerne coun
ty in writing of it say s:
'•My customers liavo been using of the
above Essence for some months past with
general satisfaction ; and Ido uot hesitate
to recommend it to tho public.

Beach htreet below Spruce street, i n the Schuy I
kill. These two persons have been snatched
from the very jaws of the destiftjor. through *he
agency of th.it most potent of all medicines,
DR CVLLEN'S INDIAN VEGETABLE
PANACEA.
Dr Culien's Panacea is the only cartuin cure j
foi Scrofula ot King's Evil, Tetter, Erysipelas,
Old Sores and Ulcere, Mercurial Discuses, and all
other uiibstions, cutaneous or otherwise, arising
from impurities of the blood.
In the extraordinary cure of Mr. Brooks, peo
ple who vi it him, hold up their hurids in as
tonishment, that ANY medicino could have ar
rested (its disease—then go away resolved to re
commend D> Ctilleu's Indian Vegetable Pana
cea to every one they Lear of who hus need of a
purifying medicine.
So with Christiana Sands—her cum of Scrof
ulous* soro throat wns quite as extraordinary us
Mr. Crooks', when wo reflect that from the dis
ease her tea or cofl'ee would frequently pass out
of her ears, when attempting to diiuk, [See
her certificate.]
The people ate beginning to understand, too
that the various Syrups of fiSanaparllla are little
bettor than molasses, ai d that it is madness to ,
throw away money on articles which, under the j
most favorable circumstances, do not produce
any impression on the system until, several gal
ons have been swallowed* 000 bottle of Dr. i
Cullen's Panacea seldom fails to produce con
viction in the minds of patients that a radical
cure is certain.
Thus hope, [;o necessary, an ally to medi
cine.] swings up at the otitAel, and the patient
is cured before any other preparation could have
made the slightest impression upon the discus? !
In fact, the twelve ounce bottles of Di. Cul
len's Panacea, compared with the pint and quart
bottles of other purifiers, are valuable about in
the proportion of gold to copper. Those who
won 1 prefer a penny to a half eagle, on accoun
of its size, wtuld make a pour selection to sat
the least.
Sarsnparilla a good portlier! Dr. Uuilen's
Panacea contains its extract in its most concen
trated form. Added to this are other extracts,
more active and powerful, and which effect in
combination with the tSarsaparilla, what the lat
ter article, or combined with the most powerfo
poisons, cannot alone accomplish.
It has cured where everything else had failed
and this in a multitude of ettV's—not in Kuiopc
or in the ntoon, (where so many great cures
have been performed,) but in Philadelphia and
other pafts of the union. And he it distinctly
understood that we do not obtain our extracts by
••holing 400 gallons down to one," it being
known to eveiy uruggist's apprentice that boiling
destroys the essential virtues of medicinal plants
and toots.

ANOTHER SCIENTIFIC WONDER
IP IS IP S E KT 8
THE TRUE DIGESTIVE FLUID,
OR
A Great Dyspepsia eurer, Prepared from
Rennet, or th%fourth Stomach of the Ox,
alter direetiolis of Baron Liebig, the great
Physiological Chemist, by J. S. Houghton,
M. U-, No.ll, North Eighth Street, I htla
delphia, Pa.
This is a truly wonderful remedy for Inot
gestion, Dyspepsia, Jaudiee, Liver Com
plaint, Constipation, and Debility, Curing
after Nature's own method, by Nature's own
agent, tho Gastric Juice.
gy Half a spoonful of this Fluid, infnsetl
in water, will digest or dissolve, Fir* Founds
of Roast Reef in about tuo hours, out of tho
stomach,
DECUNTTttN.
Digestion is Chiefly performed in the
stomach by the aid of a fluid which freely
exudes fror.t the inner coat of that organ,
when in a state o! health, called tho Gastrin
Juice. This fluid is the Great solvent of tho
Food, the Purifying, Preserving, and Stimula
ting Agent of tho stomach anil intonstines.
Without it there will bo no tllgstiiot),—ft4
conversion of food into blood, and no nu
trition of the body; but rather a foul, torpid,
painful, and destructive condition of tho
whole digestive apparatus. A weak, half
dead, or injured stomach produces c.O good
Juice. and hence tho d:s
reseai.u debility which e'-tl.
PkfbiN a' O RtNNcr. — I'epsin is trio cbi
element, or gredt Digesting Principle of tho
Gastric Juice, It (u found in great abun
dance in Ihe solid parts ot |h<l human stom
ach after do tih, and sometimes cttuees tho
stomach to digest itself, or cat t'sejf up. It
is also fountl in the stomach of animals, a*
the ox, calf, &c. It is the material used bjr
farmers iu mnkirg cheese, called Rennet,
the effect of which has long been the spe
cial wonder of the dairy. The curdling of
milk is the first process of digestion. Ken
net possesses astonishing power. The stom
ach df a calf w ill curdle nearly one thou
sand times its own weight of milk. Bato
Liebig states that, 'One part of Pepsin dts
solved in sixty thousand parts of water, wil
digest meat ami other food." Diseased
stomachs produce no good Gastric Juice
Rennet or Pepsin. To show that this want
may be perlectly supplied, wo quote tho
following
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE?
Bakon Liebio, in Lib celebrated work on
nimal Chemistry, says: "Ar. Artificial Di
csiive Fluid analago us to Ihe Gastric Juice,
may be readily prepared from the-nucoua
gmembrane of the stomach of the Calf,
which various articles of food, ns meat and
eggs' will be sbflened, changed, and diges
ted, Just in the same manner as they would
be in the human stomach."
Dr. Pereira, in his famous treatise on
•'Food and Dipt," published by Fowlers &
Wells, New York, page 35. slates the sarno
great fact, and describes the method of prep
aration. There are few higher authorities
than Dr. Pereira- _ .
Dr Combe, in his valuable writings on
die "Physiology of Digestion," observe
hat "a diminution of the due quantity o
he Gastric Juice is a prominent and all-pre
ailing cause of Dyspepsia;" and he state,
that "a distinguished professor of medicine
in London, who was severely afflicted tti h,.
this complaint, finding every thing elso to
fail, had recourse to the Gastric Juice, oh
tainetl from the stomach of l'vittg animals
which proved completely successful."
Dr. Graham, author of the fan,cub work
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
I articles of food, and of effecting a kind of
artificial digestion o/ them in no wise dif
ferent front the natural digestive process."
Dr. Simon's great work, the "Chemhtry
iof Man," (Lea it Blancliard, Phila., 1846
; pp. 321-2): "The discovery of PEPSIN
j fo nts a new era in the chemical history of
Di gestion. From recent experiments wo
know that food is dissolved us rapidly in an
artificial digestive fluid, prepared lrotn Pep
sin, as it is in the natural Gastric Juice it
self."
Professor Dunglison of the Jofferson Col
lege, Philadelphia, in his great work on Hp.
I man Physiology, devotes more than fifty
I pages to an examination of this subject.
; llis experiments with Dr Beaumont, on the
j Gastric Juice, obtained from the living hu
i man stomach ami from animal* aro well
| known. "In altca.-es," he says, "digestion
' occurred as perfectly in tho artificial as the
natural digestions."
| As a DYSPEPSIA CURER, Dr Houghlon'n
i preparation of Pepsin lots produced tho
I most marvellous etlccis, curing cases of De
| bility, Emaciation. Nervous Decline, and
i dispeplie Consumption, supposed to be on
