I' [' is intended to offer to the patronage of
the public, a Journal to be conducted on liber
J tud independent principles, A guided by the
laws of integrity and decorum acknowledged bv
honorable men iu the transaction of private life;
which, with the utmost freedom of discussion on
all subjects within its scope, shall treat with due
respect the easterns and opinions of Society in
all its divisions; never sacrificing the cause of
Truth to considerations that are too olVn allowed
to prevail. To elevate the standard of the Pub

to degrade, and, by active and assiduous exirtion,
to extend the >loc * ol* general knowh sv and en

regarding the (.'.institution of the Tinted States,

not stifle our approbation of measures calculated
to promote the pHihlic welfare; nor shall we be

apprehension of being counted in the ranks ot (
their systematic opponents. Iu these, as in all oth

to find her, and present her without disguise or ’
emulation to the world. Strictly adhering to this
cottr-e, we hope to offer an acceptable substitute
for the undi sc rim mating zeal of Party, and, uot

nial' of commendation which have been so gene
rally ;uid publicly expressed in the editorial col
umns of our brother publishers, induce us to believe
that the work has obtained a character both at
tome and abroad, which if it is credibly sustained
will not dishonour the reputation of American
miscellaneous literature, and entitle it to a lair por
tion ot that munificent patronage which of lute
years has been so indi'cntnunteh lavished upon

The exceeding cheap rate at w luch laxnv of these

of solid and interesting literature. Among our
correspondents we can cuumeratc biographers,

the meed ot' an enlightened public’s approbation,
-id all competing in the generous rivaly of talent.
If there is mv department which has not been sus
tained with sufficient judgment it is that of the
editor. And even here were we to credit the
flatteries cf'our cotemporaries, we might have
ired ourselves this confession, licit whatever
this may have been heretofore, hereafter it shall
be bettered. We pledge it with the confidence

Tlie tone of our sentiments will always take the
color of our judgement, and sincerity, and justice,

and to amuse, all that is calculated either to cn
1 lighten the understanding, or to improve the heart,
\\ ill be eagerly and assiduously sought after, to
adorn our pages. The advocacy wInch m the out
set we professed for woman, and which we be
lieve has been the paramount cause ol the success
of this journal, will rather he increased than di

criticism, moral fiction and meritorious verse, will
ever be welcome to its columns. The arts and
sciences shall not be forgotten, nor the brilliant
witticism, or pleasant bon mot lost in a world of

devoted and fastidious attention shall he paid both
to the matter and manner of the work, with a
lunlable ambition to render it still more deserving
among readers of taste and attainments.
The embellishments which shall accompany the
third volume of this work, shall exceed those of
the former volumes. Nothing shall be called so
that shall not be considered intrinsically an embel
lishment. If they consist m engravings they will
be such as shall do honour to the country, and not
tlie miserable prints that are too generally imposed
upon the unw ary and the generous, rhe paper
sh.dl be good and uniform in its texture. The

but from a more discriminating arrangement of the

public, soliciting none to encourage who shall not
consider the possession of the vvork equivalent to

than eminently useful.

POTTER’S
VEGETABLE CATHOLICON.
THIS ML DICIST, has stood the test of experi
ence for more than three years past, ana has
aeJiicctd in the healing art—cures ichieh riral
the most extraordinary if ancient or modern
practice.
■mro preparation has home 6uch cclebri
tv, as an alterative; and its innocent quuli
ties, have been acknowledged bv the expe
rience of thousands. In using the Catholicon a
restriction in diet is not required, nor does it in
icrrupt the patient, pursuing the ordinary avoca
tions of business.
In kino’s evil or scrofula, necrosis or dis
eased bones, mercurial diseases, rheuma
tism, LITER COMPLAINTS, ULCERS, WHITE SWEL
LINGS, syphilis in its secondary stage, indiges
tion, &e. &c. Y he Catholicon iias been most
conspicuously useful; it also has been servicahle
to debilitated and nervous atfected persons.
The discovery of a preparation adapted to that
class of diseases, for which this is recommended,
is one of the most desirable boons that can be
afforded to the unfortunate; and the proprietor
trusts, that the endeavors of the benevolent unit
humane, will he exerted in diffusing the merits
of his invaluable remedy to the ears of those
who are groaning under atllictiun.
Tito numerous testimonials already shown to
the public in favour of this remedy; and its hav
ing been used m the Philadelphia Penitentia
ry for these two yearc past, in diseases which
resisted the regular modes of practice, form a high
and important proof of its just merits and claims,
CAL IIOS TO PURCHASERS.
The wonderful reputation and demand for this
medicine has induced frauds; to secure the public
igainst them, in future there will be a small label
covering the cork of each bottle, beautifully exe
cuted bv the geometric lathi, with the words
‘GENUINE W. W. POTTER,” thereon: as
the cork cannot be drawn without defacing this
label, the medicine can be know n to be genuine
when it is not lorn or otherwise injured.

SE H' CERTIFICA TES.
Philadelphia, Sept. 10th, 1-27.
When about 8 years of age, (1 am now 26
years) the glands of my neck became ulcerated:
several respectable physicians attended me at in
tervals for 18 )eurs, but only succeeded in render
ing me temporary relief; the ulcers were at one
period healed, but in 1 or 5 weeks after, about 20
appeared with renew ed vigour on my amis, face
and neck, the glands of the arm pits became en
larged—and 1 suffered the most severe pains; my
health was also much impaired.
The remarkable cures performed by Potter’s
Vegetable Catholicon, induced me to try its
virtues, and by the use of only one bottle, 1 "was
perfectly cured. Some time lias now elapsed
since I took the Catholicon, and not the least ap
pearance of a recurrence of the disease has mani
fested itself. JAMES HARDING,
No. 198, south Sixth street;
September 28th, 1827.
Dear Sir:—Impressed by an ardent desire to
contribute to the alleviation of such as may be
groaning under disease, 1 am impelled to fumisit
you with the following co-efficient proofs of the
value of your celebrated Catholicon.
Mrs. was, for twelve month- alflicted with
I.ivek Complaint; she discharged large quanti
ties of blood, by which she became much emaci
ated, and entirely confined to her bed.—.She re
reived the advice of two eminent Physicians,
but, their endeavors to arrest its progress were
deti meed; finally, one of them declared her incu
, and that she could not live till next morning.
1 procured some of your Vegetable Catholicon.
and ga\ e it to her “Its operation was like a
charm in a few weeks she was perfectly cured
of a disease which it appears, she coidd not have
survived, but, by the timely use of your medicine.
About nine or ten months after the above cure
was performed, through some exertion Mrs. C.
ruptured a blood vessel; from the loss of blood,
and appetite, she was again reduced so low, that,
the atteuduig physician deemed a consultation
would be necessary, which, accordingly whs held,
and, they were of opinion, she could survive, but
i few hours longer. 1 immediately administered
the Catholicon, (bearing in observation, “that as
long as there is life, hope remains,”) to the aston
ishment of all, who had come as it were to wit
, ness her death, the second dose, which was taken
bout half an hour after the lirst, effectually stopped
the bleeding of the vessel; and in a few days she
i was, for the 'ecoiul time, miraculously cured.
Another instance of the peculiar meritsof this
medicine 1 also u lUijssod, viz. the case of my son
i H'illuim. The TirrtR made its appearance, and
completely covered his bodv, and behind his ears:
—the pustules behuid bis ears discarded a watery
hiunour. that excoriated the parts which it passed
over and formed mio ulcers; he was greatlv ema
ciated—reduced to mere skin and bone—had sleep
less nights—restless days in fact the torments of
the disease were indescribable. The most ap
proved remedies were employed from the com
mencement. and strictly tuliowed, but, without
Ucviatiug his miseries. Again, 1 successfully
dministered the Catholicon. he was restored,
and remain* in perfect health to tlue day.
From the wonderful effects of yeur medicine w
the three foregoing cases, it most certainly deserves
ihe attention of the afflicted. Ihose who have
been relieved bv its use, as well as ever)' metnb.'
of society, should aid in the diffusion of so great
a discovery. 1 am very respectfully youre,^
No. 41 Prune street.
To Mr. IP. Potter, Philadelphia.
Gloucester Point, County of Gloucester, N\ J
September, 30,
Mr. William W. Potter:—
Sir; In conformity with your desire, I give
vou here the statement of my case. For more
than ‘20 years past. I have experienced pains of the
most excruciating order, proceeding from Kheu
m itism : the greater part of this time I was con
fined to mv bed, with my limbs very much contract
ed, and swollen, and so painful, I could not press
mv hand on the lower extremities—and in fact, so
severe that mv shrieks were heard in every part of
the house. 1 had violent pains in ray side, head
aches. loss of appetite, Ac.—Laudtmm, which
was taken in very large doses, occasioned but
little sleep, and did not tend to soothe the pain in
the slightest degree. Induced by the urgent and
repeated request of my friends and family, 1 re
paired to the Sea Shore at Egc-11 arbour, and
continued to immerse myself in salt water for a
length of time, without any salutary effect. After
1 returned, (as previous.) I had application to
various remedies, but every thing proved of no
service to me. Having spent much money and
labour in mv endeavours to obtain relief from the
miserable situation I was placed in. and my ad
vanced age, (being in my With year,) I reliquishe'd
all hopes, and was determined to let the disease
take its course; but, in a few weeks after, I heard
of the wonderful effects your medicine produced
on mv daughter, whose case I make mention ol
m this: I used the Catholic on to the extent
of three bottles; and I feel happy to say, I am free
of that painful visiter, to whorn 1 have been a
martyr for so long, and for this unexpected change,
from a life of misery- to one of comfort, do 1 im
pute to the remarkable qualities of your medicine,
it has been eight months since 1 took the last of
the Catholicon, and not ha\ing had au attack, 1
belie\ e it to be a perfect cure.
Fours respectfullly,
ELIZABETH SMALL W OOD.
I certify, the above is a true account of part of
iiiv wife^s suffering.
(Signed,) S. SMALLW OOD.
Master of the Team-boat, {dying between
Gloucester Ferry and the Point House.
My daughter Margaret S'. Peacock, who resides
near Longacoiiiiug, in the county of Gloucester,
state af New Jersey, was taken with the disease
termed milk lko, \yhich was unsuccessfully treat
ed by a respectable physician of that place, for 4
vears; her sufferings during that time, with this
lmrthensouio disease, language is inadequate to
express;—The lower extremities were swelled, at
periods, to nearly double their ordinary size, and
became extremely painful. .She began to use
your medicine, (the Vegetable Catholicon,) and
in n short time she was cured; not having heard
from her of late, I conclude she remains perfect
ly well. ELIZABETH SMALLW OOD.
CASE.—Win. Middleton, aged about 35years,
for the last r years, had seven large sloughing
ulcers on bis body and limbs. He was on a
journey iVoin Georgia to the eastward, and had
been subject to the treatment of many physici
ans between -Savannah and this city, but the dis
ease still progressed in spite of all* their efforts;
consequent emaciation ensued, from the long and
severe p tins which he experienced, and the ulcers
discharged freely a thick offensive matter—almost
insupportable, which prevented lnm from proceed
ing further than this citv; lie gave up all anticipa
tions of ever reaching home again, and began to
assume a deadly aspect, notwithstanding most
excellent medical advice was rendered. A few
w eeks after his arrival, he came under the notice
of Mr. I’otter, and immediately commenced using
the Catholicon; in about tw o weeks there was a
material change in the appearance of the ulcers,
and the excruciating pains, which harassed him
from the commencement of the disease, were par
tial!) removed, and his general health and strength
improved daily. In eight weeks more he was
perfectly restored to health by the u»c of the Ca
tliolicon: the ulcers were healed, the violent pains
entirely forsook him: ho pursued his journey, sui
fering no inconvenience whatever.
A number of respectable individual are ac
-plainted with the above facts, to whom reference
may be had by applying to IV. If. POTTER.
.Philadelphia October loth, 1827.
Tor these twenty-six years past I have been
labouring with a violent cough, spitting of
blood, etc. and a general debility, prevailed over
my system, but, more particularly in my breast;
1 became so helpless from the emaciation that
life was only a burden to ine:—had sleepless
nights in consequence of the pain and tickling
cough—no appetite that would enable me to use
sufficient nourishment to support my frame, and
reduced to such ;ui extremity that the skin was
corrugated, and seemed to be fast to my hones;
in t ict 1 expected for no other relief than death.
I commenced Potters Catholicon, and by tile time
1 had taken the third bottle 1 was perfectly re
lieved ot the harrassing and distressing comp faint.

PATENT CORN SHEERER.
HAVING purchased the Right to the
above Machine, for the counties of Brooke,
Oluo, Tyler, Monongalia, Harrison and
Preston, I am ready to receive and execute orders
for the same. This machine, for expedition in
shelling, is unequalled by any other now in use:
and, unlike all other inventions for that purpose,
instead of discharging Loth com and cod in the
•ame place, it casts tlie cob to a considerable dis
tance from the shelled com. 7he quantity of coni
shelled by it in a given time, so fir exceeds that
shelled by any other with which it has been com
pared, that it lias in many case- been adopted, and
others cast aside, as appears by certificate* now
in my possession. The Public are, however, re
quested to call on the subscriber, examine the
machine, witness its operation, and satisfy them
-elves. JAMES. F. KiK(i.
