The unbounded approbation bestowed on the
plan and execution of the YOUNG PEOPLE'S
BOOK, by the conductors oi the public press
throughout the U. States, and by numerous per
sons of the inchest distinction, in the various walks
of Literature, Science and Art, as well as the sub
stantial patronage it has received, have induced
the publisher not onlv to increase its claims to re
gara by
ADDING TO ITS LITERARY MERITS,
but also to make it more accessible to all classes
of the community, by
Reducing the Price of Subscription.
For the former purpose, besides continuing the
services of
PROFESSOR FROST,
whose ample scholarship, enlarged information,
correct taste, and acknowledged ability as an'ele
gant and instructive writer, peculiarly qualify him
for the management of a periodical devoted to
young people, the publisher has engaged the
' EDITORIAL AID OF T. S. ARTHUR,
a gentleman so favorably known to the American
public, through the medium of his unsurpassed pro
ductions, that it would be idle to pronounce any
eulogy on his merits. Perhaps no living author
is more eminently fitted to impart instruction in an
attractive and impressive form than Mr. Arthur.
Endowed with an extraordinary acuteness of per
ception, and the most vivid power of delineation,
he has applied these rare gifts to the development
of practical truths, and while every thing which
falls from his penis calculated to attract and fix the
highest degree of interest, it impresses at the same
time the most useful moral. Thousands, it may
confidently be asserted, have already been awa
kened to a sense of duties unperformed, or evil
habits unrestrained, by the simple and unobtrusive
but searching lessons he has taught, and in the new
field which his connection with the editorial de
partment of the Young People's Book will open to
him, no doubt can be entertained that he will reap
fresh honors for himself, and confer fresh benefits
on the community.
In addition to the labours of the editors, whose
energies will be constantly directed to maintain
and improve the high character which the Young
People's Book has acquired, the various literary
and scientific persons, whose contributions have
given dignity and force to the work, will continue
to be regular correspondents, and to these will be
united almost every native writer, male or female,
Avhose aid may be made instrumental in promoting
the great object of the work namely, to convey
useful knowledge in such a .form as will gratify
the tastes while it will improve the minds and
hearts of those classes to whom it will be espe-(
cially addressed.
Without intending the slightest disparagement
to either of the many admirable periodicals now
issued from the American press, the publisher of
the Young People's Book feels justified in saying
that his work possesses advantages, in some re
pects, which no other can fairly claim. Avoiding
on the one hand whatever is frivolous in itself or
false in its teachings, and on the other, whatever
is tedious or unentertaining, it occupies a middle
ground between the magazines exclusively devo
ted to light literature and those of a purely scien
tific character, and by making the graces of com
position subservient to the inculcation of practical
knowledge, it is calculated alike for pleasure and
profit.
In point of embellishment the Young People s
Book will not suffer by comparison with the cost
liest productions of the limes.
The Mezzotint and Steel Plates
it has furnished have all been prepared by artists
of the greatest celebrity, and some of the former
are universally admitted to surpass in appropriate
ness of design and elegance of execution, any oth
ers which have been published in this country.
Those intended for the forthcoming volume are
not less distinguished by fitness and beauty; and
adding to these the
NUMEROUS ENGRAVINGS ON WOOD
which will also be given, it may be predicted with
safely that the pictoral department will be such,
as of jtsell will merit the most extended patronage
The Young People's Book, though, as its name
implies, principally designed for youth of both
sexes, is adapted to all classes. Persons of eve
ry age who are competent to read understanding
may derive both information and amusement from
its pages, and in every well ordered family circle
it cannot fail to prove an acceptable and agreea
ble companion, through whose agency both men
tal recreation and mental discipline will be pro
moted. To enable every lamily, no matter how
limited its pecuniary circumstances may be, to
subscribe, the publisher has determined to reduce
the price of the work, notwithstanding the new
arrangements he has entered into wm considera
blv auement the outlay he is compelled to make
For his compensation he relies on an enlarged
subscription list, which he cannot permit himself
to doubt he will immediately obtain.
The Young People's Book is published Month
ly. Each number will contain an ample variety
of original Reading Matter, a Mezzotint or Steel
plate, and other Engravings The price to single
subscribers will be only Si 50 per annum, or four
copies for $5, and ten copies, for $10, payments to
be made invariably in advance. The plates alone,
if purchased separately, would cost treblo the price

Proved in more than 400,000 cases to be infal
lible; tho only certain worm-destroying medi
cine ever discovered. Many diseases arise
from worms and occasion long and intense suff
ering and even death, without their ever being
suspected; grown persons are very often afflict
ed with them and are doctored for various com
plaints, without any benefit; when one dose of
these Lozenges would speedily cure them.
Mr. J. Murphy, 80 North st. Philadelphia,
was applied to by a poor woman whose daugh
ter, 7 years old, had been sick for nearly 3
years; her stomach was as large as a grown
person's, her arras and legs so swollen that she
could not walk or help herself, although she
could eat as much as two laboring men. Two
celebrated doctors had exhausted their skill
without any benefit; tho father had spent all he
could raise and was discouraged, he abandon
ed all idea of doing anything more for her, and
looked to death alone, to take her out of her
misery. Mr. Murphy behoving it a case of
worms, gave her a box of Sherman's Lozenges,
and in two days she returned with joy beaming
in her eyes, and said tho Lozenges had saved
her child's life. The first dose brought away
nearly a pint of worms in one living mass, she
afterwards counted over 800 that were discharg
ed, besides the mass which she could not
count. The child was literally eaten up with
them another living witness of the almost mir
aculous efficacy of Sherman's Lozenges.

We have tried Doctor Jos. Priesley Peters' Ve
getable Pills, and have no hesitation in pronounc
ing them the best Anlibilious Medicine that we
have ever used in our families. We are acquaint
ed with several families in this city who give them
the preference to all other kinds, on account of
their mildness, and at the same time, certainty of
action. New-York Examiner.
More than ten millions of boxe3 of these truly
valuable Anlibilious Pills have been sold in the
United States, Canadas, West Indies, Mexico, and
Texas, since the first of January, eighteen hun
dred and thirty-five.
Hundreds and thousands bless the day they were
induced by the persuasion of a friend, to try a Box
of Doctor Peters' Pills.
They are in use as a Family Medicine, and all
who have used them give them the preference to
all other kinds, on account of their being a safe,
pleasant, and easy aperient being mild in their
action at the same time; though, in their operation,
producing neither sickness, griping, nor debility.
Boct. Jos. Priestley Peters,
Dear Sir: I have used your valuable
Pills these last four years, in cases of Dyspepsia,
Liver Complaint, and Sick Head-ache, and have
found them, in a majority of cases, the most valu
able Pills 1 have ever used.
JOHN CASE, M. D.
For Sick or Nervous Head-ache, or Bilious Fe

to all other kinds.

Sherman's Coiigli Iioscaages,
Are the safest? most sure and effectual remedy
for Coughs, Colds, Consumptions, Whoopmg Cough,
Asthma, Tightness of the Lungs or Chest, $c. Ac
The proprietor has never known an instanco where
they did not give perfect satisfaction.
Over 3,000 persons have given their names with
in the last year as a reference of the wonderful
virtues of these Cough Lozenges. They cure all
recent cases in a few hours, seldom inquiring more
than one day to entirely eradicate the most dis
tressing ones. .
Mr. G. T. Matthews, suffered a year with a hard,
tight cough, pain in the side, spitting of blood, and
all the usual symptoms of consumption. The Lo
zenges relieved hirn immediately, and in a few
weeks restored him to perfect health. He says
they are the greatest cough medicine in the world.
The Rev. Dr. Eastmond, gave a few to a lady, a
friend of bis, who had been given up by her phy
sician and friends as in the last stage of consump
tion. The first Lozenge gave her considerable re
lief, so that she was encouraged to persevere in
th8ir use; and through the blessing of God they re
stored her to perfect health.
Mr. James W. Hale, No. 5 Tontine Buildings,
Wall st.f gave some to a friend who had not enjoy
ed a night's sleep for several weeks, being every
few minutes attacked with such a distressing
cough, as almost to take away his life. The Lo
zenges made him raise easy, and enabled him to
sleep well all night. He had tried every thing he
heard of, and nothing else afforded the least relief
a nother instance of saving a fellow being from
an untimely grave. - .
The Rev. Darius Anthony, of the Oneida Con
ference, was given, up as incurable, believed to be
on tho verge of the grave from consumption, with
out the hope of relief, till he tried these Lozenges.
They rolieved him immediately, and in a few
weeks restoicd him to health, so that he could re
sume his duties as a minister of the gospel. He
recommends them to all who are consumptive or
have any derangement of their lungs, as the great
est medicine in the known world. He has wit
nessed their effects on several others, and always
with the happiest results. He says so great a
remedy through the blessing of Divine Providence,
should be tho common property of all, and in eve
ry family on the face of tho earth.

INDIAN YEGETABLE PILLS,
OF THE
Hoi-Hi Amcrkau College of Healtli.
THESE extraordinary Pills are composed ol
plants which grow spontaneously on our own soil;
aridare therefore, better adapted to our constitu
tions, than medicine concocted itom foreign drugs,
however well they may be compounded,' and as
THE INDIAN VE GETA13LE PILLS are found
ed .upon the principle that the human body is in
UUt 1 SUBJECT TO BUT ONE DISEASE,
viz: corrupt humors, and that said medicine cures
this disease on
NATURAL PRINCIPLES--by
cleansing and purifying the body; it will be man
ifest, that if the constitution be not entirely ex
hausteda perseverance in their use, according
to directions, is absolutely certain to drive disease
of every name from the body.
When we wish to restore a Swamp or Morass
to fertility, we drain it of the superabundant wa
ters; in like manner if we wish to restore tho body
to health, we must cleanse it of impurity.
THE INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS
Will be found one of the best, if not the very best
medicine in the world for carrying out this
GRAND PURIFYING PRINCIPLE,
because they expel from the body all morbid and
corrupt humors, the cause of disease in an easy
and NATURAL MANNER; and while they evory
day GIVE EASE AND PLEASURE,
disease of every name is rapidly driven from the.
body.
The above named Indian Vegetable Pills, have
been three years before the American public; and
we can now say withont fear of contradiction, that
of all the various medicines which have heretofore
been popular, not one has given such universal
satisfaction, oi obtained such a permanent hold
upon the affections of the people. Not only do all
who use it invariably experience relief, and re
commend it in the strongest terms: but it has ef
fected some of the most astonishing cures ever
performed by medicine.
Hitherto, very few of the numerous testimonials
which have been received in favor of this extraor
dinary medicine have been published, as the med
icine obtained its present great celebrity more by
its own intrinsic goodness than from extensive ad
vertising. It has been deemed proper however to
offer the following opinions of the public press,
together with a few extracts from letters of Agents,
merely to show, that the fame of the Indian Vege
table Pills, is not confined to any one section, but
is rapidly extendingitself to every part of the Union.
From the Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post.
THE INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS.
Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills are attaining
great celebrity in New England as well as other
parts of the United States. The attempt of per
sons to defraud the public by the sale of spurious
articles, meets with general reprobation. Mr.
Wright is an indefatigable business man, and
shows an array of cures by the medicine which
warrant confidence in the virtues of his Indian
Vegetable Pills.
From the Philadelphia Spirit of the Times.
THE INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS.
People are pretty well satisfied by this time,
that Calomel, and the other thousand and one min
eral preparations of the shops, are better adapted,
as a general rule, to kill rather than cure the pa
tient; as a matter of course, vegetable medicines
are therefore in great request. There are very
many humbugs, however, among the latter, and
we would advise all those who have the least re
gard for their health, to try the INDIAN VEGE
TABLE PILLS OF THE NORTH AMERICAN
COLLEGE OF HEALTH, sold at 169 Race
street, Phladelphia ; as they are the preparation of
one intimately acquainted with the healing' art. i
From the Boston Daily Times.
INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS.
Of all the public advertised medicines of the
day, we know of none that we can more safely re
commend for the "ills that flesh is heir to" than
the Pills that are sold at the depot of tho North
American College of Health, No. 198 Tiemont
street, Boston. Several instances we know of
where they arc used in families with the highest
satisfaction; and no longer ago than yesterday, we
heard an eminent Physician of the city recommend
them in high terms. There used to be in the
community, a great repugnance to the use of
QUACK medicines, as they are all indiscriminate
ly termed, but it was mainly owing to the regular
M. D.'s constantly denouncing them. They are
however, becoming more liberal in this respect, and
the consequence is that good vegetable medicines
are now more extensively used than formerly.

Indian Aregetable Pills, and by taking four doses,
the cough began to leave me; and I now enjoy bet

I found them to be a valuable medicine, I imme
