DR. JEBB'S RUEIJAIA'FIC LINIMENT.
Copy of a Letter!!
CHARLESTOWN, (MUM) June 23, 1827.
I To the Proprietor of Dr. Jchb's Liniment.
DEAR Sia—l deem it a duty I owe, to suffering
humanity, to acquaint you, and thiough you the
public, (should you think best) of the unexpected
and surprising cure performed on myself by the
use of the above most excellent Medicine. 1 have
been for inure than thirty years, and sometimes
most severely, afflicted with the Rheumatism,
have been frequently rendered perfectly helpless;
and in consequence confined to my bed, when it
has required two persons to move me, being in
such extreme pain; I have several times boon un
der the care of the must eminent physicianr, but
procured only temporary relief; I one day no
ticed the advertisement of Dr. Jebb's Liniment,
with the testimonials accompanying it, and was
induced to try a bottle,which 1 used without much
sensible benefit. 1 concluded, however, to perse
vere, and bought another bottle, and was greatly
relieved, and by the use of half the third bottle,
was wholly cured, and have never since had a re
tarn of the pain, which I had nut been free from
a month at a time for thirty yeaFs, and it is now
more than three years since 1 was cured. I would
must earnestly advise every person suffering un-
dor this painful complaint, not to despair ufa cure
so lung as they can obtain Dr. Jobb's Liniment.
You aro at liberty to make any use of this you
may think advisable.
Most respectfully yours,
CALEB SYMMES.
To the foregoing testimony, many other un
questionable proofs might be added, in favor of tho
superior Liniment of Dr. Jobb. Nothing but a
fair trial, which the proprietor confidently solicits,
can give an adequato idea of its unrivalled
ollica
cy, in mitigating, and thoroughly mastering, tho
excruciating disease, to which it has been sue
co,sliilly applied in a inultitudo of cases. 'rho
oporation of the Liniment is often immediate; and
it has frequently cured rheumatic affections of
yearii standing, in four and twcutyliours. It is
also recommended with confidenco, as one of the
best applications known for stiffness of the joints,
numbness, sprains, and chilblains.

ANTI•BILLIUUS RILLS
These two preparations combined, consti
tute an efficacious remedy Ibr the Dyspep

or professional skill. When both medicines
are administered in colmection according to
plain and particular directions accompany
ing the Vegetable Specific, they thoroughly
cleanse the alimentary canal of that viscid
mucus which is the proximate cause of the
disorder, and as a tonic and stimulent, they
restore the healthy action and energy of the
stomach, and strengthen the debilitated sys

CARLISLE, Fob. 6th, 1835
Sir:—l take pleasure in recommending to those
who aro interested in the education of children,
the very excellent series of books published by
Mr. Lyman Cobb. The "Spelling Book," is cor.
tainly the roost replete,accurate and finished work
of the kind I have yet seen. The "Juvonilo Bea
dors," in their adaptation to the wants and feel
ings of the juvenile mind, aro, if not unparalleled,
at least unsurpassed,- and us they have filled un
important elipsis in a regular and corrected course
of reading for children, they aro invaluable. The
very apprupriato phraseology, simple, though not
too puerile, the happy seloctions, progressive ar •
rangement of the lessons; together with the wholo
execution, type, paper, binding, &c., inulto them
very acceptable to the youthful roadors, and con.
vonient , for the (cocker. The "Sequel" undoubt.
odly deserves the encomiums already bestowed
upon it, and is not, in my opinion, excelled in do.
sign or execution by any work of the kind now
extant. Tho Arithmetics have also met the wants
of common schools. The author has very judi.
ciously excluded much that is useless to a very
large proportion of the community, while, by
clear and familiar elucidation of the practical parts
of the science, ho has recommended the work as
peculiarly fitted to aid the pupil and relieve the
teacher.
Tho "Dictionary" will recommend itself, if but
slightly investigated, as a convenient guide to the
spelling of derivative and inflected words, (a mat
ter so perplexing to many) and cannot fail to find
a plai] in ovary school, in which correct orthogra
phy is properly appreciated. Tho "Expositor" is
u convenient hand-book, comprising a judicious
selection of words.
The whole series is pre.eminantly adapted to
the school room; and I hopo will soon acquire un
qualified approbation fbr itself; and public esteem
for its author. Respectfully yours, &e.
Mr. CADY. JNO. F. HEY.
DtCIeINSON COLLEGE, Jan. 3, 1835
I have examined Cobb's Walker's Dictionary,
and Cobb's Sequel, and can recommend the first
to common schools; and consider the Sequel as an
excellent compilation, well calculated to improve
the taste and morals of youth, and to inspire thorn
with a love of reading.

I havo had the pleasure ofexamining partially,
"Mr. Cobb's series of School Books, consisting of
a spelling, reading and arithmetical course," with
which 1 am highly pleased. His spelling book,
certainly, I think, surpasses any thing of the kind
I havo over seen: His Readers are admirably a
dapted to the capacities of children, and well cal.
culated to amuse, instruct and enlighten the minds
of youth: His Sequel to the above, designed for
the higher classes, 1 have no hesitation in recom
mending to the public as an excellent school-book:
And his atiihnietical course is a good ono, and
well suited to the wants of the community. On
the whole, I think it the most complete and the
best arranged set of school-books that I havo ever.

From the partial examination I have given Mr.
Cobb's series of School Books, I do nut liesitato in
recommending them to the public as the best of
the kind I have ever seen. His systematical order
and classification are highly worthy of patronage;
and their adoption by the community at large,
ought to be a mutter of no hesitation, us they will
be very amply repaid by the rapid progress of
youth, in the elementary branches of. an English
education.

After a cusory examination of Mr. Cobb's series
of elementary Books for the usocf schools, I have
no hesitation in recommeneing them to the public
as the best of the description that I have soon, not
only on account of classification and arrangement,
but in point of accuracy' and adaptation to the
learner's capacity.

Mr. Cady—As I promised, 1 now send yon r.
statement of my opinion of Cobb's works.
_The rondo's 1, 2 and 3,.1 have used for 'bower.,
years, and &inside - 1' them superior to any olomen.
Lary works of the kind with which I am acquain
ted—The spelling book I havb lately introduced
into my seminary, and only regret that its intro.
duction was net °readier date—lts alphabettca
and orthoopical arrangement is very advantageons
to teacher and pupil, and surpasses in utility any
other hitherto presented to the public—His Wei.
ker's Dictionary speaks volumes for his literary
judgment and unwearied assiduity. Hoping that
a generous public will amply reward him, I sub.
scribe myself in haste.

Mr. D. S. Cady—lt is now somewhat morn than
a year silica I had 'Cobb's series of School Hooka'
partially introduced into my school. The spell,
ing book, anti the Marco numbers of the Juvenile
Reader, I huvo had an opportunity of giving a
pretty fair trial.. Tho arrangement and classificu.
lion of the spelling book, its ctintaining so many
words with so few ropititions, and the orthography
and pronunciation being, in ovary cose,agreeable
to tho ruin given by Walker, gives it u decided
preference to any other that I have been ucquuin•
ted With:
Tim transition is so gradual throughout tho
whole work, and the reading lessons so well adap
ted to the juvenilo capacity (battle) pupil,beg inning
in two letters, finds himself able to read difficult
sentences, with u degree of propriety, almost be
fore ho is aware that he has changed his position.
His Dictionary too, in noticing the secondary
accont,and in giving plurals of nouns, the present
tense and preterites of verbs, tho purticiPles and
variable adjectives, is decidedly pietbrable to any
other, as a school hook. .
His plan of leaching arithmetic, also, has my
decided approbation, as I hold that "Elucidation
is the boat method of instruction."
Believing, therefore, that the introduction of
the whole series into common school:, generally,
would be of great advantage to the riving genera.
Lion, I urn happy to see the effort making. Any
assistance that I can give toward:, the general in.
troduction will be willingly performed, and u lino
from you, at any time, on the subject thankfully
received. In great haste, I urn respectfully, •

I have examined a series of school books, pre
pared by Mr. Lyman Cobb, and fool a freedom in
expressing a favorable odium' of them. I think
his reading books well adapted to their design.—
The Juvonilo Reader furnishes a quantity of easy
and instructiVo reading for children, ut a period
w lion they aro nut yet prepaied for the more diffi
cult books that have boon in general use, while his
Sequel contains oxcollent hissons,tbr the more ad
vanced scholar. Indeed .I.baVe long boon ofopin
ion that a connected some of reading books, in..
creasing very gradually in difficulty, would boot
essential service in our common schools. Mr.
Cobb's spelling book seems to be u very appro.
priute introduction to this series. • The plan of it
is simple and ingonious„ and upon the whole, I
think well executed.. I cannot but wish the au
thor that success in the introduction of his books
which their value seems to merit.

After a cursory examination of Mr. Cobb's se
ries of school books, I um dispoied in general to
concur in the above recommendation of the Rev.
Mr. Marsden, and wish the author a liberal on.
couragoment in the circulation of his vuluablo
books. • S. S. SCHMUCKER.
I have examined several of the series of school
books, by Lyman Cobb, and believe them to bo,in
general, well calculated to interest and devolopo
the youthful mind. His Arithmoticks aro, in my
opinion, far superior to those in general use, until
recently, in this section of the country. In his
explanatory arithmotick, as is the case with tho
kindred works of Colburn and Emerson, the un
derstanding of the learner is addressed, and the
ground rules of the science aro rendered so easy
by the simple examples and familiar explanations
that he cannot fail to comprehend them. By the
inductive system of teaching, the learner is mado
acquainted with rules,und applies them to particu
lar cases, far more readily than when brought W
hir° his mind in the common didactic form. From
the grout improvements which have been made
within a few years, in the manner of presenting
the elementary principles to the youthful mind,
we ntrty reasonably expo& a corresponding im
provement in every department of education. I
therefore hope that works like the above men
tioned will soon take tho place.of_these in which

At the request of the Presidont of Mt St. Mary's
College, I have cursorily examined the series of
elomontary school books, published by Lyman
Cobb, and have no hositation in saying that they
may be safely employed in tho teaching of chit
drnn, and that in many respects they
i are prefera
ble to the works of a similar kind n use in this
section of the country.
I regard Lyman Cobb's edition of Walker's
bchooldictionary as supecior to any other edition
in the same form which has comp under my oh.
sorvation. His spoiling book and lessons in read
ing appear to me deserving of approbation.
Two of the most experienced teachers of Arith.
motick in this institution, having examined Ly.
man Cobb's Explanatory Aritlimetick, Nus. 1 and
2, have expressed the opinion that it is superior
to the greater number of systems of Aritlimotick
employed in schools in this part of the country.

From a cursory examination of the above works
I am convinced oftheir merits,as expressed above.

Sir:-I,have succeeded in introducing into my
school Cobb's Series of Spelling, Reading unit
Aritlimetick. From a careful perusal of the
works, it is but justice to the author to say that it
far exceeds my expectations, and that his strict
adhorence to the rules of orthoopy, as laid down,
by Mr. Walker, cannot fail to piocure for him
that patronage,' which is justly duo, from an en,
lig litoned public.
