THE COLUMBIAN MAGAZINE,
for 1845.
EDITED BY JOHN INMAN AND ROBERT A. WEST
Prospectus for the Second Year.
-At the close of his second volume, the magazine
Having been commenced on the first of January,
1844. the publisher finds himself irresistably call
in! on to express the satisfaction and gratitude
with which he has been filled by the brilliant and
unexampled success that has attended his endea-
rs to win the public favor. Notwithstanding
iimY.ulties, disappointments and vexations that
i uiost invariably follow the establishment of a
cw periodical, in the production of which there
jnust be the harmonious co-operation of many
heads and many hand? notwithstanding occasion
al short-comings, especially in the pictorial de
partment, which no care or diligence could avert
and no expenditure prevent, the Columbian Mag
azine has gone on steadily increasing in support
and popularity from the opening number, and if
the unbought unsolicited testimony of the press
may be received as unswayed by partiality and
unbiassed by friendship, the efforts of contributors
and editors have been satisfactory to the public
and accepted as fulfilling the promises made foi
ihem at the commencement of the enterprise.
The publisher undertook the work with a firm
conviction that the great city of New York was
the best and the true home for a magazine of gen
eral literature ; that notwithstanding the failure of
many previous attempts to ostablish such a work,
there could be no impossibility of success with
sufficient capital, perseverance and the right sys
tem of management both by publisher and editor;
stimulated by this conviction he embarked in the
cnterprize and the result of the first year has proved
that his judgment was correct.
It has long ceased to be necessary, or reasona
ble, that we should speak of the Columbian as an
experiment. At all events, it is now an experi
ment substantially tried. We feel ourse'ves upon
as firm a basis as any similar journal in the world.
Our principal cares now regard not so much the
securing what ground we have cained (foi we con
sider this sufficiently secure) as the extension of
our sphere of action and utility not so much, even,
the mere enlargement of our subscription-list, as
the most suitable modes of catering for the amuse
ment (and shall we say occasionally for the prof
it) of our subscribers in the present and in the
future the many whom we have, and the many
more we shall undoubtedly have as time rolls on.
We have made arrangements which will enable
us to present our friends with embellishments of
very superior taste, style and finish. In this re
spect it is our firm purpose, if possible, to outvie
all competition. Our music and engravings, we
confidently believe, will not be equalled very cer
tainly they shall not be surpassed in real merit,
by those of any other magazine. We propose to
give, each month, two or more superb engravings,
independently of two pages of music by the most
eminent composers, and plate of authentic fashions.
Regarding the literary and editorial conduct of
the Columbian, the publisher does not feel called
upon to say more than a very few words. The
general management of this department is confided
to the gentleman who has hitherto given abundant
evidence, not only of the highest ability to put
forth a meritorious magazine and one exactly
adapted to the tastes of all readers, with whom is
associated another gentleman of ability and expe
rience. The publisher, therefore, has every con
fidence that what has already been dona for the
literary value of this journal, will be done again.
We are perfectly willing that our future in this re
spect should be estimated by our past. The sub
joined list o'f those who have furnished articles for
the Columbian during the by gone year, will sat
isfy, we feel assured, the most fastidious, that we
are resolute to spare, in no particular, either ex
ertion or expense.

With the aid of these contributors (of -whom it
is needless to say one word in the way of commen
dation) and of numerous others, perhaps equally
meritorious if less celebrated, who have promised
us their support, we flatter ourselves that, as a lit
erary work, the Columbian need be under no ap
prehension of being excelled.
But what we have done is already before the
public, who will rot fail to judge of us with im
partiality ; and in respect to what we intend to do,
it will be both wiser and more becoming (although
less fashionable not to boast.) We may be per
mitted to assure our friends in brief, however, that
we have matured numerous plans (for the' Third
Volume) with whiph we feel confident they will
be pleased It is our purpose to put forth every
energy, and it will be no fault of our own if the
Columbian shall not be found at least equal to any
magazine, of any class or price, in America.

States and the Canadas, who wish to become

Worms Kill Thousands.
CHILDREN are most subject to them, but per
sons of all ages are liable to be afflicted with
them. Had breath, paleness about the lips, flush
ed cheeks, picking at the nose, wasting away,
leanness, pain in the bowels, joints or limbs, dis
turbed sleep, frightful dreams, moaning and some
times a voiacious appetite, aie among the symp
toms of worms. Many are docfored for months
for some other imaginary disease, when one box
of Sherman's Worm Lozenges would effect a cute.
Ur liyan, corner ot Prince street and the Bowery,
cured a man of worms that was reduced to a skel
eton, and by only one box of Sherman's Lozenges:
he is now as fat as an alderman. The Hon B,
B. Beardsley has saved the life of one of his chil
dren by them. The sale of over 2,000,000 of boxes
has fully tested them. I hey are the only infalh
ble Worm destroying medicine known. What
lamily will be without them i
Consumption, Coughs, Colds, Whooping Coughs,
Asthma, and all affections of the lungs, will find
a healing value in Sherman's Cough Lozenges.
iney saved ttie Kev. Kichard De Jborrest, the
Rev. Mr. Streeter, Jonathan Howarth, Esq., and
that worthy old hero, Leonard Rogers, from the
consumptive's grave. They cured in one day, the
Rev. Mr. Dunbar, the Rev. Mr. Handcock, "Wm.
H. Attree, Esq., of distressing coughs. They are
the pleasantest cough medicine and cure the soon
est ol any known remedy.
Headache, Sea-sickness and Palpitation, re
lieved inrom five to ten minutes by Sherman's
Camphor Lozenges. Persons attending crowded
rooms or travelling will find them to impart buoy
ancy of spuits and renew their energies Those
suffering from too free livinc will find a few of the
lozenges to dispel the horrors and lowness of
spirits. Mr. Krauth, of the Sunday Mercury, has
repeatedly cured himself of severe headache bv
them. Captain Chadwick, of the packet ship
Wellington, has witnessed their efficacy in a great
many cases of sea-sickness. They operate like a
charm upon the agitated or shattered nerves, as
Sherman's Poor Man's Plaster does upon rheu
matism, lumbago, pain or weakness in the side,
1 11
oacic, oreast, or any part ol the body. JUr. II. G.

Chatham street, Moses J. Henriques, Esq., and a
multitude of others have experienced the wonder
ful effects of these Plasters. Price onlv 12 1.0
cents. Caution is necessary to see that you get
the genuine Sherman's Lozenges and Plasters, as
there are many worthless articles attempted to be
palmed off" in place of them, by those who would
trifle with your life for a shilling;
A fresh supply of these valuable medicines just
received and for sale at the Republican office.

Spitting of Blood,
Night sweats and pain in the Side.
Jonathan Haworth, Esq. the well known Tem
perance Lecturer, was attacked with a cold from
sleeping in damp sheets, in the winter of 1811. He
neglected it at first, but soon found it assuming a
somewhat alarming aspect, and then resorted u
the various remedies usually recommended fork:.;
complaints. When one thing failed he tried an
other, until he had exhausted his patience and l
whole catalogue of remedies. His cough was i
most incessant, so that he could get little cr :
sleep attended with pain in his side, spittire
blood, night sweats, and all the usual symptoms.
Consumption. While at Rome, (N i ) he felt that
his end was nigh that in that place he must soo:
end his journey of life. Providentially, a lad
who visited him advised a trial of Dr Sherman's
Cough Lozenges. He accordingly sent and e ta
box, and the first dose gave him-more reliet thr
all ttfe other medicines he use's before. By t
time he had taken one small box, he was a'..e t
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, whe"
lecturing on Temperance, and says he owes Lis
life to Dr Sherman's Lozenges
From the Cincinnati Daily Times, of Jan. -lift iSt.
Coughs The variableness of the weather li s
winter has caused an unusual number of persons
to be afflicted by colds and coughs scarcely a
family has escaped; and with many, careless-iess
in attending to a cough, has laid the foundation L:
consumption. Our family has not escaped the
general affliction, but owing to a remedy, used
for the first time, they were speedily cured. Sher
man's Cough Lozenges, which we were induce!
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 ito
seemed doubtful if it could be removed at all.
