The unbounded approbation bestowed on the
plan and execution of the YOUNG PEOPLE'S
BOOK, by the conductors of the public press
throughout tho U. States, and by numerous per
sons of the highest 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 only to increase its claims to re-"
gard by
ADDING TO ITS LITERARY MEIIITS,
but also to make it more accessible to all classes
of the community, by
Keducisig the Price of Subscription.
V 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 tho
t 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,
ho has applied these rare gifts to the development
of practical truths, and while every thing which
falls from his pen is 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 j
field which his connection with the editorial do- j
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 the community.
In addition to the labours of the editors, whose
energies will be constantly directed to maintain
.nd improve the high character which the Young i
People's Book has acquired, the various literary
- .d scientific persons, whose contributions have
iven dignity and force to the work, will continue
i be regular correspondents, and to ihese will be
nitcd almost every native writer, male or female,
- hose aid may be made instrumental in promoting
-e great object of the work namely, to convey
seful knowledge in such a furm as" will gratify
..e tastes while it will improve the minds and
' earts of ihoso classes to whom it will bo espe
cially addressed.
"Without intending the slightest disparagement
to either of the many admirable periodicals now
-sued from the American press, the publisher of
he Young People's Book feels justified in saing
'hat 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 toachings, and on the other, whatever
is tedious or uncntertaining, it occupies a middle
ground between tho magazines excluskely devo
id 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
,rofit.
In point of embellishment the Youricr People's
Book will not suffer by comparison with the cost
liest productions of the times.
Tlte 31 ezzotiul and Steel Plates
it has furnished have all beon 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 exocution, any oth
ers which have been published in this country.
Those "intended for the forthcoming volume arc
not less distinguished by fitness and beauty; and
adding to these the
NUAROUS ENGRAVINGS 0?J !VVOOD
which will also be given, it may bo predicted with
safety that the pictoral department will be such,
as ff i'self will merit the most extended patronage
The Young People's Book, though, as its name
i .iK3, ;.riucipalJy designed for youth of both
.soxes, is adapted to all classes. Persons of eve
ry ago who are competent to read understanding
may derive both information and amusement from
it 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 family, no matter how
limited its pecuniary circumstances may be, to
tubscribe, the publisher has determined to reduce
the price of the work, notwithstanding the new
arrangements ho has entered into will considera
bly augment tho outlay he is compelled to make.
For his compensation he relies on an enlarged
sylscripiinn 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 Sjeol
plate, and other Engravings. The price to single
subscribers will be only Si 50 per annum, or four
copies for 85, and ten copies for SIC, payments to
be made invariably in advance. The plates alone,
if purchased separately, would cost treble the price
of subscription.

Proved in more than 400,000 cases to be infal
lible; the only certain worm-destroying medi
cine ever discovered. Many diseases arise
from worms and occasion long and intense sufl
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. Mvrphy, 90 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 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; the 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 believing it a case of
worms, gave her a box of Sherman s Lozenges,
and in two days she relumed with joy beaming
m her eyes, and said tho Lozenges had saved
her child's life. The first dose brought away
neariv 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. i lie child was literally ealen up with
ihem another living witness of the almost mir
aculous efficacy of Sherman's Lozenges.

We have tried Doctor Jos. Priesley Peters' Ve

ing them the best Antibilious 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 boxes of these truly
valuable Antibilious Pills have been sold in the

Hundreds and thousands bless the day they were

They are in use as a Family Medicine, and all
who have used them give them the preference to

pleasant, and easy aperient being mild in their
action at the same time; though, in their operation,
producing neither sickness, griping, nor debility.

found them, in a majority of cases, the most valu

for Coughs. Colds, Consumptions, Whooping Cough,
Asthma, Tightness of the Lungs or Chest, eye. eye.
The proprietor has never known an instance 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 requiring more
than one day to cntiicly eradicate the most dis
tressing ones.
Afr. 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 him immediately, and in a few
weeks restored him to perfect health. He says
they arc the greatest cough medicine in the world.
The Rev. Dr. Eastmond, gave a few to a lady, a
friend of his, 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
their use; and through the blessing of God they re
stored her to perfect health.
Mr. James W. Hale, No. f Tontine Buildings,
Wall st., 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 mado him raise easy, and enabled him to
sleep well all night. He had" tried every thing ho
heard of, and nothing e!s afiordcd the least relief
a nother instance ol saving a fellow being from
an untimely gravo
The Rev. Darius Anthony, of the Oneida Con
ference, was given up as incurable, believed to bo
on the verge of the grave from consumption, with
out the hope of relief, till he tried these Lozenges.
They relieved him immediately, and in a few
weeks restoied him to health, so that he could re
sume his duties as a minister of the gospel, lie
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 tho blessing of Divine Providence,
should be the common property ol all, and in eve
