TO THE PUBLIC. THIS medicine has been before the pub lie for three or four years pat and has ac quip d probably a f.!renter degree or popu larity, than any al ;:cle eve befbre int roduc ed into general use. It contains no noxious article, nor mineral or metallic substance and is carefully compounded so as to always be of unif;)rm strength and consistency. It will keep good for years and grows more pleasant he ne. Children are gen erally very fond and none will refuse to take it. it is so well adapted to the various complaints of children, that every family should always it in their houses, as most families who have used it, now do.— Sailors and travelling persons should always carry it with them. Tids medicine is put up in round bras moulded vials or two and flair ounces each, with the words "Dn. D. JAYNE'S CARMI NATIVE BALSAM" b!own on them, and the cord/en signature of D. Jayne to the bottom of each direction—none others are genuine. This medicine is not recommended as a 'Panacf•a" to cure nil diseases to "whic flesh is heir to" but as a remedy' in Diar rhma. The beginning and latter stages o ^raery,Choterr illmdnisolie Spasmodic or Illalignant CHOLERA, Cramps, C." ones, Sul- and nervous Headache. Fo , the Sum mer Complaint or CHOLERA of child. re it is unrivalled .)y any other combination ormedi• erne ever used. It has repeatedly efli:Tted cures, when every other means had aided aided by the attendance and skil! of the u• blest physicians, that could be procured.— Obstinate Din rrhceas or ears standing, have been removed by the use ofa row bottles of i.; violen' Dvsenteries arrested and Cholera Morbus cured. The Spasms attending the Malignant Cholera have always been sup- pressed in from one to three minutes tune, and that much dreaded and fatal disease re peatedly cured without the aid of any other article of medicine. in thct its power over spasmodic diseases of every kind seem to be absolute as it has never vet been known to (hil of giving relief in a single instance.— Griping pains, tormina and tenesmus Ckil ics, Cramps &c. are also soon removed by it. Hundreds of females and sedentary per sons can attest to its superior excellence in ick and nervous Headaches as Iwo or three teaspoonfulls generally gives them rebel in the course of her an hour. Children laboring under the Summer Complain:, have been used in a short time after all known remedies had faileth—those too who have been so extremeiv emaciated that their bones almost protruded through their skins, and all hope of recovery aban doned, by all who saw them, have by a few weeks use of this medicine been restored to perfect health. CERTI FICATES. Certificate from Dr. William Bacon, Pastor oftho Baptist Church ut Pittsgrove, Salem Co., N.J. Having been made acquainted with the ingre. diont. composing Dr. Jayne's Carminative Bal sam, I believe it to be a very happy combination, and a useful medicine in many complaints which almost constantly occur in our country, HIICII as Bowel Affections o - children, Cholic, Cramps, Looseness, Dyspeptic Disorders of the Stomach, Coughs, and Affections of the Breast, together with all those diseases attended with . Sourness of the Stomach; and believe that the regular physi cian will often find it n uselul remedy in his minds, and one that is proper for domestic use, and can be put into the hands of persons nt largo with safety. WM. BACON, M. D. Pittsgrove, Salem Co. N. J. May 4th, 1331. Certificate from Dr. Win. Steeling. Thia may certify that I have used Dr:Jayne's Carminative Balsam vary extensively in Bowel Complaints, and have nut the least hesitation in declaring it superior to any preparation that 1 have mot with, for the relkii of those diseases. WILI.I AN/ STEELING, M. D. Bridgeton, July 19th, 1631. From Dr. M. L. Knapp, late Physician to the Bal timore Dispensary, and Agent for the Mary land Vaccine Institution. Baltimore, March 27th, 1833. Dr. JATNE----Dear Sir.—You ask mo what proof s I meet with of the efficacy or your medicine. I can safely say that t never prescribed a medicine for tlowel Complaints that has given me so much satitfaction, and .ny patients so speedy and per fect relief as this. Whenever introduced Into a family, it becomes a standing remedy for those ailments, and is called ibr again and again; which I think a pretty good proof of its efficacy and use fulness. In the Summer Complaint of children, it has frequently appeared to snatch the little vie. tuns, an it were, from :ho grave. "It saved the lilb of my child, and el such and such a child," I have repeatedly heard said. In dysenteric affec tions oi' adults, I have time and again seen it act lan a charm, and give permanent robot' in a few hours, I may say in a row minutes. In fine, it is a valuable medicine, and no inmily should be with out it. Respectfully, M. L. KNAPP, M. D. From Dr. L. Lawrence. Cedarville, Oct. 9th, 1832. Dr. D. JAyNE—Dear Sir.—The curative powers of your Carminative Balsam appears to be fairly established in all Bowel Complaints, &c.; and from the experience I have had with the medicine, I am disposed to think very favorably of it. I have lately tried it on ono of my children, who was severely handled, and with complete success, without the use of any other medicine. So flir as my practice has _extended, 1 think it a deetdera. tum in medicine, especially among children, who are apt to be of this way; and which every practitioner in medicine has found to be a very troublesome disease. Respectfully, LEONARD LAWRENCE, M. D. From Dr. Charles Hammond. Dr. JAYNE—Dear Sir.-1 have made use or the clarmlnative 'Balsam prepared by you for Com plaints ar the Bowels, with , 3rnplete success in every case and r do not hesitate to .ocommend it to the patronage of the public as a ntediciao, worthy °Moir particulat notice.

Dr. .TAN—Dear Sir.—Uriderstruiding you more about to publish certificates respectittz your valuable carminativo Balsam, I thought if it would, ho of any service to you, I would wish to boar a public tostitnony in- its favor; 43 wo have proved its oxcelloucy very frequently in our family, and also administered it to our friends, who have visi. ted us, and always found it gave them speedy re. lief. - Yours Respectfully, CHARLES J.

Iy-5 la I" 1' CHOICE LITERATURE. T O say that this a reading age, implies a desire for instruction, and the means to gratify flirt desire. On the first point, all are agreed; on the second, there is diversi ty both ofopinion and ofpractice. We have newspapers, magazines, reviews, in fine, pamphlets of all sizes, on nearly all subjects, which have severally their classes of read ers and supporters. And yet, copious as are these means of intellectual supply, more are still needed. In •ddi ion to the reviews of the day, and pa. -itig notices of books, the people, in large numbers. in all parts of our great republic, crave the possession of the books themselves, and details, beyond the mere passing allusion. of the progress of discovery in art and science. But though it be easy to ascertain and exp.ess their wants, it is not so easy to gratify them.— Expense, dis since from the emporium of literature, engrossing ocupations which pre vent personal application or even messages to libraries and ik,:selle , s, are so ninny causes to keep p 3ple ow. v from the feast of reason, and the enjoyment of the coveted ty aliment. It is the aim of the pub. fishers of the Librany to obviate these chi fieulties, and to enable every individual, at n small cost and without any personal effort, to obtain Ibr his own use and that of his fa vored liiends or fandy, valuable works, com plete, on all the branches of useful and popu lar literature, and that in a form well adap ted to the comfort of the reader. The charm of varie.v, as far ao is com patible with morality and good tast, will bo held constantly in view in conducting the Library, to fill the p les of which the cur- rent literature of Great Britain, in all its various departments o; Biography, History, Travels, Novels and Poetry, shall be freely pot under c; itribution. With, perchance, cccasional exceptit i, it is intended to give enti•e ;ho work which shall be selected for publication. %' hen circumstances author ize the rn reccurso will be had to the literary stoics of Continental Europe, and translations made from French, Italian, or Gei rain ; as the case may be. Whilst the body of the work will be a reprint, or at times a translation of entire volumes, the cover will exhibit the miseel. laneous character ofa Magazine, and con sist of sketches of men and Vl' ngs, and notic es of novelties in literrture and the arts, throughout the civilized world. A full and regalar snpply of the literary monthly and ;iebdoniadal joule Is of Grcat Bt it11 : 11 and Ire'-ind, in addition to home periodical of a similar eharacfc , cannot fail to provide am ple mate. ials ,or this rt of our work. The lesourcf—i and ex'ensive correspon dence ofthe publishers, ai e the best t'uarrin :e for he continuance of tha entorprize in which they are now about to embark, as well aster the abundance of the materials to give it value in the oyes of the public. As far as jueicious selr Lion and arrangement are concei ned renders will, it is hoped, have reason to be fully satisfied, as the editor of the Library is not a stianger to them, but has more than once obtainer; their favorable sufli ages for L's past literary eflbrts. TERMS. The work will be published in weekly numbers, in stiched covers, each number containing twenty imperial 0( tevo pages, with doable columns MAK Na TWO VOLUMES ANNUALLY of more tiian 520 octavo pages, each volume; and at the expiration of every six months, subscribe will be furnished with a handsome title pa,eand table of con tents. The whole amount of matter fur nished in n single y ear will be equal to more than FORTY VOLUMES of the common seize English duodecimo books, the cost of wine!) will I 3 at least ten times the price of a year's subscription to the "Library." The paper upon which the Library will be printed, will be of the finest quality used for bookwork, and of a si-e admirably adapted for binding.
