CONFIRMED CONSUMPTION.
Onondaga, May IS, 1843.
Dr Sherman: Dear Sir As 1 most ardently de--sife&bencfitnvy
fellow men, especially those who
are theinhappy victims of that dreadful disease,
-CurisvinSption, 1 will lelate, for their consideration,
tho astonishing effect of your Cough Lozenges.
On the night of July 5,'IS40, 1 was attacked with a
violent cough, which threatened my 6peedy death,
lender the" advice of two very excellent physicians,
DVs Parkes and Rose, I was so far leheved as to
be ablg to ride out, and once 1 attempted to preach.
1 rode 20 miles, to Cazencvia, to attend the ses
sion of our Conference, which continued about ten
days. I was able to attend the'session every day
for a few hours by conhiutlg mysefr the rest of my
time to my bed. The Fathers in the Gospel told
me I ought to arrange my wordly affairs and pre
pare for a speedy death, and consequently put me
on the superanuated list. Very foitunately, and I
may say providently, 1 heard of your Lozenges
and was prevailed upon to try them, and to ray ut
ter astonishment, after taking three one day, the-
allayed the violent attacks of coughing, and ena
bled nie to sleep for hours together, which I could
not do belorc. I continued to improve under their
use lor several weeks, when I considered myself
well, and able to resume mv duties as a minister
f the Gospel of our t-aviour. How many wil
soon enter the gloomy vale of death, that nMgh
long be a blessing to the world and a comfort ft
their friends, if they could obtain vour medicines!
May Providcnce.favor your efforts until every fam
ilyin the civilized world can procure your medi
cine, which I consider the mostvaluable ever dis
covered by the medical faculty. In .conclusion,
may God bless vou and prolong your life for use
fulness to suffering humanity! Accepl my itfex-j;
j)ress!ble gratitude, "lor to you -and your -medicine,
through Divine blessing, 1 owe my life.
Yours, &c DARIUS ANTHONY,
Minister of the Gospel
Spitting of Blood,
NlGIIT SWEATS AND PAIN IN THE SlDE.
Jonathan Haworth. Esq. the well known Tem
3erance Lecturer, was attacked with a cold from
sleeping -m damp sheets, in the winter of 1841. He
neglected it at first, but soon found it assuming
somewhat alarming aspect, and then resorted to
the various remedies usually recommended for lung
t complaints. v hen one thing laileajae tried an
ti1ier, until he had exhausted his patience and the
vhole catalogue of remedies. His cough was al
most incessant, so that he could get little or no
sisep attended with pain in his side, spitting of
blood, night sweats, and all the usual symptoms of
l5Dnsumption. U r.ile at Kome, (J 1) he lelt that
his end was nigh that mthat place -he must soon
vend his journey of-life. Providentially, a lady
who 'visited him advised a trial of Dr -Sherman's
Cough Lozenges. He accordingly sent and got a
. box, arfd the first dose gave him more relief than
all the other meaicines he used betore. Hy the
time he had taken one small box, he was able to
-start for the city of New York, and in three weeks'
time he was perfectly restored to his usual health.
He often announces the fact to his hearers, when
lecturing on Temperance, and says he owes his
life to Dr Sherman's Lozenges
From the Cincinnati Daily Times, oT Jan. 4th 1S44.
Couglis The variableness of the weather this
winter has caused an unusual number of persona
to be afflicted by colds and coughs scarcely a
family has escaped; and with many, carelessness
in attending to a cough, has laid the foundation for
consumption. Our lamily has not escaped the
general affliction, but owing -to a remedy, used
for theffirst time, they were speedily cured. Sher
man's Gongh Lozenges, which we were induced
to try, .proved what they are represented to be, and
affected a cure in a few days of a -troublesome
cough, which appeared so deeply seated that
seemed doubtful if it could be removed at all.
We have not written the above as a puff, but as
facts which the community should know. G F.

WORMS CAUSE DEATH.
Thousands upon thousands have gone down to
graves from Marasmus, or a wasting away of the
body, Epilepsy, Fits, St Vitus' Dance, Locked
Jaw, Apoplexy, Mania, Dropsy in the Head, Pal
sy, Consumption, Pleurisy, Dysentery, Convul
sions, and many other supposed apparent diseases;
and many have suffered for years and years, and
have been doctored for some imaginary complaint
without the least relief; and others are still suffer
ing, when all the trouble arises from worms, and
worms alone, wnich are entirely overlooked, and
when the proper treatment would have saved their
lives, and restored them to health. Every obser
vant mother cannot but see and admit the truth ;
but still many physicians shut their eyes to that
all-important -cause of disease.
Persons of all ages and sexes, from the tender
infant' at the breast to old age, are all liable to be
afflicted with worms. Many a person has suffered i
his whole life from them, and never suspected it. j
Different kinds of worms inhabit different parts of j
the body ; but a long dissertation on their particu- j
lar locality, origin,&c. is superfluous and unneces
sary, so long as a proper, safe and certain remedy !
is at hand. That is all the public wants or cares
for. The sale of" over two millions of boxes of
Sherman's Worm Lozenges, in less than five years,
places their reputation far above all other "worm
medicines.
Evidence of the Wonderful Virtues. of Sherman's
Dr .Ryan, Druggist, corner Bowery and Prince st,
was applied ,to for advice, by a-man who looked
like a living skeleton : he said that in earlyjife
he had been remarkably hearty and robust, but-for
the last four years he had been gradually wasting
away, till his coat would wrap twice around him.
He had suffered all but death, and had, been under
the gare -of nine different physicians, and.not one
of them had done Mm any good, neither could they
tell. hat aijed him.
He said that his appetite was so good that he
cjuild htLTcilv eatnousht he suffered from palpita
tion of the heartt pain and occasional numbness of
nis limbs, and always JeJt Jatigued; shooting pains
in and a constant desire to. pass something from
his bowels, auajdarting pains in different parts of
sensation aVtuesiornacnrslignt
drowsiness and dizzi
ness. friirhtful dreams, and so miserable was he
that he had rather die than live. Dr R. toldhim
that he had worms, and he could cure hitn The
man shook his head, and said it was impossible,
but he would try; so the Dr gave him a Box
Sherman's Worm Lozenges, andtoldftm th tan?
ttiem according to me printed oirectionsTaccampa-
nying them. He returned in three days, and; said
ho felt like a new being that the first dose brp't
away a tapeworm 70 or 80 feet long, and the sec
ond dose brought awav 28 feet more. Thus two
doses of Sherman's Worm Lozenge3 effected
cure; and although but a few months have elapsed,
he is now as fat and hearty as he ever wa3 in his
life After years of misery, swallowing enormous
quantities of medicine, and spending hundreds of
dollars, he was cured by only one 25 cent box ol
these celebrated Lozenges.
Headache and Sickness.
Palpitation of the heart, lowness of spirits, and
despondency, are immediately relieved by bher
mans Camphor Lozenges. Persons travelling or
attending crowded parties will find them to relieve
all fatigue and give buoyancy to the spirits.. Afo
ter a nicht's dissipation thev dispel all those un
pleasant sensations so usually following the too
lree liver. iemnerance neome will find them
soothing to the disturbed nerves of thetT new con
verts. 1 he most distressing headacha yields to
these lozenges in less than, ten minute's. The
over-fatigued mind or body cannot find so great
relief from any other article. Capt Chadwick, of
the racket ship Wellington, J W Cochran, Lsq
the inventor of the many-chambered cannon, his
excellency John Tyler, Joseph B Nones, Esq and
hundreds and thousands of others, who have ex
perienced relief from them can be referred to as to
their great value
Sherman's Poor Man's Plaster.
The best strengthening plaster in the world, and
a sovereign remedy for pains, or weakness in the
back, Joins, sides, breast, neck, limbs, joints, rheu
matism, lumbago, &c, &c,
Jos. W. Hoxie, Esq., who had been so afflicted"
with rheumatism, as to be unable to dress himself
without assistrnce, was enabled after wearing one,
only one night, to get up alone in the morning, put
on his clothes, and callatouroihcewitheycsbeam
ing with joy, and his tounge pouring forth the glad
ness of his heart, at the sudden and signal relief
he had received from the best of all remedies.
David Williams, of Elizabethtown, N J. an old
Revolutionary Soldier, wassp'affiicted with Rheu
matism, that he could scarcely himself one of
these rlasters entirelv cured him.
Mrs. George Nixon, one of the managers of the
institution lor Aged Indigent H emales in the city
bf New York, says the old ladies find great bene
from these Plasters; they being very liable to pains
or weaknlsa ip the back, as well as other parts of
the body
MrGeo. W. Spencer, Street Inspector, was
cured of the Piles by wearing one of these plasters
on the lower part of the spine.
Caution lhe great reputation these Plasters
have attained, has induced many unprincipled per
sons to get up worthless imitations. Ask for Sher
man's Poor Man's Plaster, and see that full direc
tions for use, and a fac simile of his name, thus,

Children suffer much, ol times, Irom so many

a tendency to destroy their general health', and
they are more or less delicate ever after.
To avoid the necessity of giving medicine
unnecessarily when vou are certain your chil

Reference might be made to several hundred

EDITED BY JoIn INMAN,
And filed with Contributions jrom the most em
inent and accomplished' writers of the country.
The motives which have led to the commence
ment of this undertaking may be briefly stated.
His believed by tho proprietor that there is in the
United States an iimnense provision of literary
ability, for which as yet there is no adequate en-
couragement, or field of display; that bes.de
the
uccessful writers, whose
productions are weekly, and monthly, and annual
ly read with delight by thousands, there are yet
greater numbers constantly arriving at maturity
of power, who have only to appear on the stage
of publication to receive a brilliant award of
fame : and that tho powers of those whose names

is believed, too, that the demand lor literary pro
duction in this country, especially in the periodi
cal channel, exceeds the supply in a very large
proportion, and that new supplies have only to be
presented of the right quality, and, in the right
way, to ensure a hearty welcome arid profitable
reception. No doubt is entertained of the Amer
ican mind's ability to sustajjtoijself certainly on
its own ground, it not abrJJp-against alt the

at there is abundant room for another Magazine,
notwithslandinjr the merit and
success of those
already in being ; that there can be no lack of
ability to fill its pages acceptably, within the reach
of capital and liberal enterprise; and that such a
periodical will not fail to be greeted as awelcome
visiter by thousands upon thousands, who as yet
have done little or nothing toward the support
and development of American periodical litera
ture. t
Another and strong motive has been the feeling
that New York, the first city of the Union, tshould
be the home of a periodical owning no superior in
either merit or success.
The Columbian Magazine will be published on
the first day of every month. Its mechanical ar
rangements will comprise the best of paper, type,
and workmanship, that money can procure.

ablest and most popular writers in the country ;

he looks forward with pride the secured co-operation
of regular and occasional contributors, for

The Portraits were copied from the original

ings, as well English and French as American.
Special aid was derived from a series of Manu
script drawings in the possession of Gen. La Fay
ette, which are executed with scientific accuracy
and beauty.
The well known ability of the author, the abun
dant means which he possessed, viz : more than
wo Hundred Folio volumes of Original manu
scripts, purchased by Congress, ten years re
searches in the public offices in London, Paris.
Washington, and all the States whicr formed the
confederacy during the Revolution, as well as the
access he has gained to valuable private papers in
different parts of the country have brought into
his hands a mass of materials, original and impor
tant in their character, which we trust will be
found to hav'e contributed essential aid in enabling
him to execute with more accuracy and complete
ness his main purpose, and thus to have compen
sated in some degree ior the time and labr thev

extended and laborious research on the part of
the editor, but great pecuniary responsibilities on.

The price affixed to this work is less, when the
exertion is considered, than that of any other pub
lication in Europe or America. Tho investment
and expenditures connected with this undertaking
are much greater than usually attended such pub
lications, and it will be apparent that the publish
ers must rely on an extensive sale for tlxerr remu
neration. The engravings alone are thought by many to
be worth the cost of the whole work, lo
subscribers the price will be enhanced.

In order to give additional variety, the Publish,-,
er has engaged the services of eminent literary
gentlemen, familiary connected with the Literature
of Continental Europe, who will furnish Transla
tions from the Literature of France, Germany, It,
aly, Spain, Sweden and Denmark.
It has been found impossible hy contemporaries;
to compete with the gigantic strides of the Lady's.
Book, and they have gradually given up tho at
tempt in despair.
GODETS LADY'S BOOK, is emphatically a
Family Baas, and can be read aloud to the fanw
ly circle. It is also an Amorican Book, and tho
writings of those Americans who defame, and at
tempt to sully the feats of arms of our great he
roes, are not admitted in the work. Constant
novelty, consistent with the character of the work,
will ever be the effort of tho proprietor.
