A PLEASAN RENIEDY FOR
INT 0 t
It his no been known. for years, that the
ALBION CORN PLASTER,
AFFORDS immediate relief, and effects
a certain cure for Corns. By its application
according to accompanying directiet.s, the
Corn is softened, attenuated, and drawn out
by the roots, without the least pain, or any
of the trouble and danger attending the haz
ardous ann ineffectual practice of extracting
the Corn by mere cutting.
The following instances, from many oth
ers of a similar character, sufficiently attest
to the superior efticacy of the Albion Corn
Plaster:
Mr. Farrar, of •Boston, was a number of
years distressed by a very painful Corn, had
applied every thing recommended without
effect, and was rendered a perfect cripple.
On applying this Plaster ho was perfectly
cured of his Corn, and freed from his lame-
ness.
A Gentleman of Greenfield, was for years
afflicted with a very painful Corn, and was
cured by one box, after every other plaster
had been tried to no purpose.
Mr. Cutler, of Boston, was cured ofa trou
blesome Corn by one box.
CERTIFICATE.—TO those afflicted with
Corns on their feet, I do certify, that I have
used the Albion Corn Plaster with com
plete success. Before 1 had used one.box,
it cured a Corn which had troubled me ror
many years. I make this public for the
benefit of those afflicted with that painful
complaint.

of debility.

ILT GREAT LITERARY ENTERPRIZE.
PROSPECTUS OF TWO NEW VOLUMES OF
%V ALDIE'S LIMINLELIELY
FOR 1835.
TUR."SELECT CIRCULATING LIBRA..
RY " has been for some time fairly classed a-
mongst the the established periodical publications of
the country, having obtained a credit and circulation
unprecedented,when the price is considered; this cer,
tainty, by allowing greater freedom to our efforts, is
calculated to render them at once strenuous and more
effectual. The objects that Waldie's Library had in
riew,was the dissemination of good new books every
where,at the cheapest possible rates, and experience
has provep that a year's subscription will pay for oNS,
HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SIX DOLLARS worth of books at
the London prices.
New and enlarged type. Volume 5,t0 be commenced
early in January 1835, will be printed with new and
enlarged type,rendering the work free from any objec
tion that may have been made by persons of weak eyes
The Journal of Belles Lettres,printed on the cover,
will bs continued without any charge. Itcontains ev
ery week, reviews and extracts from the newest and
best books as they come &Om the press; literary intel
ligence from all parts of the world,and a register of the
new publicatiods or England and America, being the
earliest vehicle to disseminate such information, and
by the perusal of which a person,however remote from
the marls of books,may keep pace with the times.
As it is usual to wish in behalf of a son that lie may
prove a better man than his father, so we, without
meaning any particular reflecton on our former vol
umes,received with such distinguishen favor,hope and
trust that our future may surpass them; for experience
ought always to produce improvement,more especially
when,as in our case, it lessens the number of difficul
ties we had to encounter in the outset.
The objects the "Library" had in vlew,were fully
detailed in the prospectus; the following extracts from
that introductory paper, will prove the spirit of that
liberality in which the work was uodertaken,and also
that we have had no occasion to deviate from the ori
ginal plan:.
Extracts from the original Prospectus.
In presenting to the public a periodical,entirely necv
in its chameter,it will be expected that the publisher
should describe his plan, and the objects he hopes to
accomplish.
There isgrovring up in the U.States a numerous po
pulation,with literary- tastes,who are scattered over a
large space,& who,distant from the localities whence
beeks & literary information emanate,feel themselves
at a great loss for that mental food which education
has fitted them to enjoy. Books are cheap in our prin
elide cities, but in the interior they cannot be procur
ed us soon as published, nor without considerable ex
pense. To supply this desiderstum is the design of the
present undertaking, the chief object of which. empha
tically is,to make good reading chcaper,and to put it in
a form that will bring it to every man's door. •
Books cannot be sent by mail,while the 'Select Cir
emoting Library' may be received at the most distant
post otfice.in the Union in from 12 t 025 days after it is
published, at a little more expense than newspaper
postage; or in other words, before a book could be
bound in Philadelphia,our subscribers in the most dis
tant States may be perusing it in their parlors.
To elucidate the advantages of the 'Select Gircula
ting Library.' such as we propose,it is only necessary
to compare it with some other publications. Take the
Waverly- novels for example: the Chronicles of the
Ca non gate occupy 2 volumes,which are sold at $1.25
to $1.50. The whole would be readily contained in
five numbers of this periodical, at an expense of fifty
cents,postage included! So that more than three times
the quantity of literary matter ca* be supplied for the
same money by adopting the newipaper course of cir
culation. But we considertransmission by mall, and
the early receipt of a new boolcias a most distinguish
ing feature of the publication. Distant subscribers will
be placed on , a footing with those nearer at hand, and
will be supplied at their own homes with equal to a
bout FjJly V0i147110 of the common Loudon novel size
for Fire Dollars!
Arrangements have been made to receive from Lon
don an early copy of every new book printed either
in that mart of talent, or in Edinburgh, together with
the periodical literature of Great Britnin. From the
former we shall select the Novels, Memoirs, Titles,
Travels, Sketches, Biography, 4.. c. and publish them
with as much rap idity and accuracy as an extensive
printingoffice will admit. From the latter,such lite
rary intelligence will regularly . be culled as will
prove interesting and entertaining to the lover of
knowledge, and science, and literature, and novelty.
Good standard novels, and other works, now out of
print, may also . occasioually be reproduced in our col
umns. The publisher confidently assures the heads
of families, that they need have no dread of introdu
cing the "Select Circulating Library" into their do
mesticcircle,as the gentleman who has undertaken the
Editorial duties, to literary tastes and habits adds a
duo sense of the responsibility he assumes in catering
for an extended and moral community-,and of the con
sequencns, detrimental or otherwise, that will follow
the dissemination of noxious orwholesome mental ali
ment. Ills situation and eligagements a ff ord bins pe
culiar advantages Sand facilities for the selection of
book. These with the additionabchannels created by
agencies at L;ndon,Liverpoolouid Edinburgh,warrant
the proprietor in guaranteeing a faithful execution of
the literary department.
It would be supererogatory to dilate on the general
advantages and conveniences which such a publica
tion presents to people of literary pursuits whever lo
cated,but snore particularly to those who reside in re
tired situations—they are so obvious that the first
glance cannot fail to flash conviction of its eligibility.
TERMS.—"The Select Circulating Library" is
printed weekly on a double medium sheet of fine pa
per of sixteen pages with three columns on each, and
mailed with great care so as to carry with perfect
safety to the most distant post office.
It is printed and finished with the same care and
accuracy as book work. The whole fifty-two umbers
form tvro volumes well worth preservation,of 416 pa
ges each,equal in quantity to 1200 pages, or three vo
lumes,of Rees' Cyclopredaa. Each volume is accompa
nied with a Title-page and Index.
The price is Five Dollars (or 52 numbers of 16 pa
ges each—u price at which it cannot be afforded un
less extensively patronised. CO-Payment at all times
in advance.
Agents who procure five subscribers, shall have a
receipt in full by remitting the publisher $2O, and a
proportionate compensation for a larger number. This
arrangement is made to increase the circulation to an
extent which will make it an object to pay agents li
berally. Clubs of five individuals may thus procure
the work for s4,by uniting in their remittances.
Subscribers living near agents may . pay their sub
scriptions to them; those otherwise situated may re
mit the amount to the subscriber at his expense, if
payment is made in money at par in Philadelphia.-
Our arrangements arc all made for the fulfilment of
our part of the contract. , -
Subscribers' names should be immediately forwar
ded,in order that the publisher may know how many
to print of the forthcoming volumed.

DR. HULL'S RECENTLY 1M PRO
ED TRUSS.—The distinguished sur
geons and medical faculty of the cities gen
erally, and elsewhere, have come to the
conclusion that this Truss, in its present
improved state, is the only instrument sur
gically adapted to the disease of Rupture,
and the only one that patients can rely upon
for the safe retention of the bowels and the
final cure of the diSease.
In confirmation of which the following
names of distinguished medical gentlemen
of New York city, with many others, have
expressed a decided, preference for this in
strument, are respectfully added :
Valentine Mott, M. D. George Bushe, M. D.
Alex. A. Stevens, M.D. David, Ifosack, M. D.
John B. Beck, M. D. Samuel Ackerly, M• D.
Cyrus Perkins. M. D• David M. Reese, M. D.
Joni,' Stearns, M. D. Win. Anderson, M. D.
. _
Also, the following extract of a late certi
ficate of Dr. Mott, of N. York;
"For the last twelve months, the curative
powers of Dr. Hull's Truss have been tested
under my own.observation with the most
gratifying success in cases of great difficul
ty, in which the mutilated imitation Trusses
so common in our market, had only aggra
vated the disease. Dr. Hull is an experien
ced surgeon, who has displayed not a little
surgical skill and mechanical ingenuity in
bringing this unrivalled instrument to its
present stale of perfection, rendering it, I
know, the best I ever saw for securing, com
forting and curing the ruptured patient, and
is in my opinion, the only instrument of the
kind that is entitled to patronage of the pro
fession, and the confidence of the public.
VALENTINE MOTT, M. D.
Park Place, Feb. 20, 1834.
Letters Patent of the United States have
been granted to Dr. Hull for 14 years from
the last improvement, dated July sth, 1833.
