large clear type. It will be completed an 24
parts, of so pages each, imperial Svo, all of which
arc now stereotyped. It will be beautifully illus
trated by accurate clews of ac I iptural scenes, de-
signed eerily...sly to embellish a Commentary, and

learned men of all ages have arrived. in their ant
teal study of the Holy 'Scriptures. Reference ha,
been had to the wants of Sunday School teachers,
and of 'amities engaged in tire systematic study of
the scriptures.

S. R. TIPTON.
FASHIONABLE Barber and Hair
Dresser, has removed his “Temple'
to the Diamond, adjoining the County Buil
dings, where he can' at all times be found
prepared to attend to the calls of the public.
From long experience he flatters himself
that he can go through all the ramifications
of the Tonsorical departments, with such an
infinite degree of skill as will meet the en
tire satisfaction of all who may submit their
chins to the keen ordeal of his razor. He
hopes, therefore, that by attention to busi
ness and a desire to please, he will merit
as well as receive a liberal share of public
patronage. The sick will be attended to at
their private dwellings.

None hes been found more CLITAIN and PICRICA•
NIENT in its curative power over these, so general
and often fatal diseases, than the above prepara

Nsptha is an unparalleled remedy. In addition to
the healing power of Tar—the virtues of which,
in affections of the lungs, is universally acknowl
edged—there is combined with it in this prepara
tion the active principles of some of the most cer•
fain Tonic Vegetable Pectorals, Which unite to
make it the moat valuable medicine ever offered
to the public for the cureof the diseases for which
it is employed, en that it never fails, if taken in
time, to produce the intended effect.
Among the testimonials to the vatne•of the a•
hove medicine, are several from distinguished phy
sicians of Philadelphia. Read the following Isom
Dr. Young, the eminent oculist:
Philadelphia, ha. 18, 1547.
Having used in my practice, as well am in my

that it is the best preparation of the kind in use
for persona suffering from Consumption, Coughs,

MOST WONDERFUL CURE.
Philadelphia, Dec. 4,1847.
Penetrated with a deep sense of gratitude for
the benefit experienced by the use of Thomsmis
Compound Syrup of Tar, and that others who,
like me, have languished through years of affliction
and stiffeiing, Without being ible to find I remedy
may.know where it can be obtained, I voluntarily
make the following statement.
About four years since, after being affected with
a violent cold, it left upon me a troublesome and
severe cough. Whilst the cough continued, which
was with scarcely an intermission during—this
long period, language fails to tell what I have suf.
fered from debility, pains in the breast and side,
night sweats, difficult expectoration, oppressed
breathing, and in fectall those symptoms which
mark a severe pulmonary affection. The relief
occasionally obtained by the discharge of the mat
ter which obstructed the healthy action of my
system, but increased my fears, as the purulent
matter discharged-was frequently streaked with
blood.
During this time I was under the treatment of
several physicians, and took many of those prepa
rations iecommended as serviceable in the Cases
of others, but without relief and I at length con
cluded that a cure in my case was hopeless. But
how agreeably changed is now my opinion! I
have wed for about three weeks Thomson'a Corn•
pound Syrup of Tar. By the use 01 one bottle my
cough has been relieved and my system.reinvigo
rated, and by continuing the use of it up to this
time, I am satisfied that my complaint is entirely
remolded and eradicated.

My daughter, a girl of twelve years old, had
been afflicted with While Swellings, in sue of her
legs, directly below the knee joint, for several
months, during which time her sofferiags have
been excruciating and deplodshle. I called on a
Physician, who, during frequent visits, made use
of every means in his power to arrest the fell de
stroyer, but all without effect The leg continued
swelling, until it opened, forming various dim
greeable ulcers, rendering amputation necessary
unless immediate relief be had. Fortunately, how

having been in our village, and hearing of the suf.
faring, of my daughter, he sent me one bottle of
your Liniment, the use of which alone,thank God,
has not only arrested the further progress of the
disease, but has cured the leg perfectly, removing
all pains and swellings, and restored the leg to its
proper use.
am under many obligations to your kind agent,
who thus, by one bottle of your invaluable medi
