The unbounded approbation bestowed on
the
plan and execution of the YOUNG PEOPLE'S
BOOK, by the conductors of the public pre33
throughout the 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 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 acutoness 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 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 unperformod, or evil
habits unrestrained, by the simple and unobtrusive
but searching lessons he has taught, and in the new ;
field which his connection wilh the editorial dc-
partment of tho Young People's Book will open to j
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 iias acquired, the various literary
and scientific persons, whose contributions have
fiven 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,
whose aid may be made instrumental in promoting
ihe 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 I hose 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
i!ie Young People's Book feels justified in saying
that his work possesses advantages, in some re-
ects, which no other can fairly claim. Avoiding
n the one hand whatever is frivolous in itself or
f lse in its teachings, and on the other, whatever
- tedious or uncntcrtaining, it occupies a middle
l -ound between the magazines exclusively devo
' i to light literature and those of a purely scien
i character, and by making the graces of com
, ition subservient to the inculcation of practical
1. .owledge, it is calculated alike for pleasure and
fit.
in point of embellishment the Young People's
1-ook will not suffer by comparison with the cost
3 est productions of the times.
The Iflezzotint and Steel Plates
it has furnished have all been prepared by artists
f the greatest celebrity, and some of the former
. ic universally admitted to surpass in appropriate
i ss of design and elegance of execution, any oth
k. which have been published in this country.

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 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 Lozenees would speedily cure thorn.
Mr. J. Murphy, 90 North st. Philadelphia,
was applied to by a poor woman whose daugu
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
miserv. Mr. Murnhv believing it a case of
J --j- o
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 Aniibilious 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. Nero-York Examiner.
More than ten millions of boxes of these truly
valuable Antibilious 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 ot a mend, to try a JJox
of Doctor Peters'1 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.
DocU 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 nave
found them, in a majority of cases, the most valu
able Pills I have ever used.
JOHN CASE, M. D.
For Sick or Nervous Head-ache, or Bilious Fe

to all other kinds.
R. H. ARMSTRONG, M. D.
The following from the EMMINENT DOCTOR
EMMERSON, is considered sufficient.

INSURANCE COMPANY.
ALL Persons insuring in this company are
members equally interested in its welfare
and in the election of its officers.
In order to become a member of this company
and thereby be insured, the applicant gives a pre
mium note, the amount of which is in proportion
lo the amount to be insured, and its degree of
hazard, thus: If $1000 is to be insured, at 5 per
cent., he gives his note for $50. If at 10 per cent,
he gives his note for $100, and in that proportion
for a greater or less sum, according to the rate of
hazard, on which note he advances 6 per cent, and
nn additional sum of Si 50 for survey and nolicy.
He then becomes a member on the approval of
his application and is insured lor live years, j. ne
aggregate of the premium notes constitutes the
cash fund, chargable first, with the expenses, and
second, with the losses of the Company; and
should it prove insufficient to pay both losses and
expenses the money to meet the losses, (should
any occur) is borrowed agreeably to the act of in
corporation, and paid. An assessment is then
made to repay such loan upon the premium notes
in proportion to their respective amounts, and in no
case to be made but once a year, notwithstanding
several losses may happen.
At the expiration of five years the note, if any
assessments have been made and paid, is given
up, and the insured may renew his application.
Policies may at any time be assigned or sur
rendered and cancelled, and the premium notes
given up, according to the by-laws of the Company.-
No more than three fourths of the cash
value of any property will be insured, and all
great hazards: such as Cotton Factories, Powder
Mills, Distilleries, Machine Shops, Manufactories
for Printer's Ink, and all establishments of the
same class of hazards, are not insured upon any
conditions whatever, and that no one risk is taken
over $5000, it is considered much more safe and
less expensive than in Stock companies, where
they insure large amounts and hazardous property.

J
Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills
OJ the North American College of Health.
This extraordinary medicine is founded .upon
the principle that the human, frame issubject to
ONLY -ONE DISEASE, viz: Corrupt Humors,
or in other words Impurity of the Blood, and noth
ing save vegetable cleansing, is wanted in order
to drive disease of every description from the bo
dy. If the channels of our mighty, rivers should be
come choked up, would not the accumulated wa
ters find new outlets, or the country be inundated?
Just so with the human body; if the natural drains
become closed, the accumulated impurities will
most assuredly find vent in some form of disease,
or death will be a certain consequence.
WRIGHTS INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS
arc eminently calculated for carrying out this
GRAND PURIFYING PRINCIPLE, because
they are a purgative medicine so justly balanced
and withal so natural to the human constitution,
that they cannot possibly injure the most delicate;
at the same time, if used in such a manner as to
produce free evacuations by the bowels, and re
peated a few times, it will be absolutely impossi
ble for pain or distress of any kind to Continue in
the body. A single twenty-five cent box of the
above named Indian Vegetable Pills will, in all
cases, give relief, sometimes even beyond the
power of words to describe, and if persevered in
for a short time, there is not a malady in the
whole course of human ills that can possibly with
stand their astonishing and wonderful influence.
WRIGHT'S INDIAN VEGETABLE PlLLS
are a certain cure for
COSTIVENESS,
Because they completely cleanse the stomach and
bowels from those billious and corrupt humours
which paralyse and weaken the digestive organs,
and are the cause of headache, nausea, and sick
ness, palpitation of the heart, rheumatic pains in
various parts of the body, and many other unplea
sant symptoms.
In all disordered motions of the Blood, called
Intermittent, Remittent, Nervous; Inflammatory,
and Putrid
FEVERS,
Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills will be found a
certain remedy; because they cleanse the stom
ach and bowels from all bilious humours and pu
rify the blood; consequently, as they remove eve
ry kind of disease, they are absolutely Certain to
cure every kind of fever.
So, also, when morbid humours are deposited
upon the membrane and muscle, causing those
pains, inflammations and swellings, called
RHEUMATISM, GOUT, &c.,
Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills may be relied on
as always certain to give relief, and if persevered
with, will most assuredly, and without fail, make
a perfect cure of the above painful maladies.
From three to six of said Indian Vegetable Pills
taken every night on going to bed, will, in a short
time, completely rid the body from all morbid and
corrupt humours; and rheumatism, gout, and pain
of every description, will despair, as if by magic.
For the same reason, when, from sudden
changes of the atmospherd, or any other cause,
the perspiration is checked, and those humours
which should pass off by the skin, are thrown in
wardly, causing headache, nausea, and sickness,
pain in the bones, watery and inflamed eyes, sord ;
throat, hoarseness, coughs, consumption, rheu
matic pains in various parts of the body, and ma
ny other symptoms of
CATCHING COLD,
Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills will invariably
give immediate relief. Three or four pills taken
at night on going to bed, and repeated a few times
will remove all the above unpleasant symptoms, j
and restore the body to even sounder health than
before. The same may be said of difficulty of
breathing, or
ASTHMA.
Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills will loosen
and carry off by the stomach and bowels those
rough and phlegmy humours which stop the air
cells of the lungs, and are the cause of the above
dreadful complaint.
It should also bo remembered that WRIGHTS
INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS are certain to
remove pain in the side, oppression, nausea and
sickness, loss of appetite, costiveness, a yellow
tinge of the skin and eyes, and every other symp
tom of
LIVER COMPLAINT.
Because they purge from the body thoso corrupt
and stagnant humours, which when deposited on
the livor, are tho cause of the above dangerous
complaint They are also to prevent
APOPLEXY AND SUDDEN DEATH.
Because they carry off those humors which ob
structing the ciiculation, are the csuso of a rush,
or determination of blood to tho head; giddiness,
especially on turning suddenly round, blindness,
drowsiness, loss of memory, inflamation of the
brain, insanity, and all disorders of the mind.
Those who labour within doors should remem
ber that they frequently breathe an atmosphere
which is wholly unfit for tho proper oxpansion of
the lungs, and at the same timo owing to want of
exercise, the bowels are not sufficiently evacua
ted, tho blood becomes impure, and headache, in
digestion, palpitation of the heart, and many other
disagreeable symptoms' arc sure to follow,.

Sherman's Cough Lozenges,
Are the safest, most sure and effectual remerfv
for Coughs, Colds, Consumptions, Whooping Cough,
Asthma, Tightness of the Lungs or Chest, ijr. fc
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 mora
than one day to entirely eradicate the most dis
tressing ones.
Mr. James W. Hale, No. 5 Tontine Buildings.
Wall st., gave some to a friend who had not enjoy
ed a night's sleep for suveral weoks, 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. Ho had tried every thing he
heard of, and nothing else afforded the least reliet
a nother instance of saving a fellow being frwn
an untimely grave.
The Rev. Darius Anthony, of the Oneida Con
ference, was given up as incurable, believed to w
on tho verce of the eravo from consumption, with
out tho hope of relief, till he tried thoso Lozenge?.
They relieved him immediately, and in a few
weoks restored him to health, so that he could re
sume his duties as a minister of the gospel. R
recommends them to all who arc consumptive or
have any derangement of their lungs, as tho great
est mcdicino 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 Divino Providence,
should be the common property of all, and in eve
ry family on the face of the earth.
