The unbounded approbation bestowed on tho plan and execution of the YOUNG PEOPLE'S BOOK, by tho . cor.dctors ol the public press throughout tho U. States, and by numerous ar sons of the highest distinction, in the various walks ot Literature, Science and Art, as well as the sub stan'.ial patronage it has received, have induced the publisher not only to increase Us claims to rc gard by ADDING TO ITS LITERARY MERITS, but also to make it more accessible to all classes of tho community, by Reducing the Price of Subscription. For tho former purpose, besides continuing the services ef PROFESSOR FROST, whoso ample scholarship, enlarged information, correct taste, and acknowledged ability as an ele gam and instructive writer, peculiarly qualify him for the management ot a periodical devoted to young people, the pubhslier has engaged tho EDITORIAL AID OF T. S. ARTHUR, a gentleman so favorably known to tho 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 cxtraoidinary acutoness of per ception, and the most vivid power of delineation, h-n has applied these rare gifts to tho 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 atlho same time the most useful moral. Thousands, it may confidently bo 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 tho editorial de partment of the Young People's Book will open to liim, no doubt can be entertained that he will reap fresh honors for himself, and confer fresh benefits on tho community. In addition to tho 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 fiven dignity and force to the work, will continue ; io be regular correspondents, and to theso will bo united almost every native writer, male or female, whose aid may be made instrumental in promoting he great object of tho 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 tho 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 ports, 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 unenlertaining, 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 times. The Mezzotint and Steel Plates it has furnished have nil 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 beon published in this country. Those intended for tho forthcoming volume are not less distinguished by fitness and beauty; and adding to these the NUMEROUS EXORAVINCS ON WOOD which will also be given, it may be predicted with safety that the pictoral department will be such, ns oi itself will merit the most extended patronage. The Voung People's Book, ihough, as its name implies, principally designed for youth of both srxes, is adapted to all classes. Persons of eve ty age who are competent to read understanding may derivo both information and amusement from Use 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 bo pro moted. To enable every family, 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 iirrangemcnts he has entered into will considera bly augment the outlay he is compelled to make. For his compensation he relics on an cnlarced subscription list, which ho cannot permit himself to noma nc will immediately obtain. The Young People's Book is published Month ly. Eacli number will contain an amplo variety of original Reading Matter, a Mezzotint or Steel plate, and other Engravings.

Many diseases ariso from worms and occasion long and intenso sufl ering and even death, without their ever being suspected; grown persons arc very often afllict- ed with them and aro doctored for various com plaints, without any benefit; when one dose of these Lozenges would speedily cure thom. Mr, J. Murphy, 90 North st. Philadelphia, was applied to by a poor woman whose daugh ter, 7 years old, had been sick lor nearly d years; her stomach was as laree as a grown person s, her arms 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 tako her out of her misery. Mr. Murphy belioving it a caso 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 doso brought away nearly a pint of worms in one living mass, she afterwards counted over 800 that were discharg ed, besides tho mass which she could not count, 1 he child was literally eaten up with them another living witness of tho almost mir aculous efficacy of Sherman's Lozenges.

A STATURAL REIJ-EI, Suited lo our Conslilulions, and competent to the cure of every curable disease icrtl be found in the INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS, OF THK North American College of Health- THESE extraordinary Pills are composed ol plants which grow spontaneously on our own soil; and aro therefore, better adapted to our constitu tions, than medicine concocted ftomforcign drugs, however well they may be compounded; and as THE INDIA N VEGETABL K PILLS are found ed upon the principle that the human body is in truth 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 he not entirely ex hausteda perseverance in their use,, according lo directions, is absolutely certain to drive disease of every name from the body. When wc wish to restore a Swamp or Morass to fertility, wc drain it of the superabundant wa ters; id like manner if we wish to restore the 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 every 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 Ameiican 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, or 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 over 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 iiowever 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 extending itself to every part of tho 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. Tho 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 or 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 wc 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 109 Race street, Phladelphia ; as they are the preparation of one intimately acquainted with the healing art. From the Roston Daily Times. INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS. Of all tho public advertised 'medicines of the day, we know of none that we can more safely re commend for tho uills that flesh is heir to" than the Pills that are sold at the depot of the North American College of Health, No. 108 Tiemont street, Boston. Several instances we know of where they arc used in families with the highest satisfaction; and no longer ago than yesterday, wo heaid an eminent Physician of the city recommend them in high terms. There used to be in the community, a great repugnance to tho 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. Thev are however, becoming more liberal in this respect, and the consequence is that good vegetable medicines are now more extensively used than formerly. Extract of a letter from Peter Christ, Uniontovvn, Carrol County, Md., Nov. 17th, 1838. Dear Sir: About two months ago, I had busi ness in Baltimore, and called at your office, and bought a few boxes of the Indian Vegetable Pills; and upon trying them I found them to be far supe- "Tior to Puis, or any other medicine I had ever used.

TV sales have, for the last two months, increased rap idly; those who buy, generally remarking, "tli j they are tho best pills thoy have ever used;" an! ray opinion is that they will in a short time super cede all others in this city. ROBERT FARNIIAM. Washington City, D. C. Extract of a letter from Lycoming County, Pa. Mr. Wm Wright Dear Sir On being appoir.' ed Agents for tho sale of the INDIAN VEGE TABLE PILLS in this place, we only look one gross on trial; but it would have been belter hV had taken a half dozen gross; for on a fair tm! they have far exceeded our most sanguine cxpcc'.i lions. In fact so much so that wc have been obli: ed to send to Mr. Zimmerman, at Lancaster, mon than a hundred miles from here, for ten dozen; hi these will last but a very short time, the way ne are selling them since they have been fairly teste,' In the first place, I gave some to our Physiciaa, to make trial of since which they have purchase! a number of boxes, and highly approve of them. A few days ago, there was a lady sent 30 miles togt a box of the Pills, she at the lime was very low, and unable to turn herself in bed; but in two days my informant says she was able to help herself. Wc could mention many other cases, but deem it unnecessary at this time; but would merely sar, that as the season is fast approaching when there will be a great demand for the Indian Vegetable Pills; and if we only could get a supply of the med icine, wc could establish other agents, which wouli be of immense advantage not only to the NORTH AMERICAN COLLEGE OF HEALTH; but D the public generally.
