PROSPECTUS ,
OF
THE NATIONAL MAGAZINE j
AND REPUBLICAN.REVIEW.
11, BRENT, Esq. EDITOR.
THE National Magazine and Republican Re- j
view, will be published in the city of Wash-;
j ington, District of Columbia, on the Ist day of
January next, and delivered monthly in all 1
parts of the United States, devoted exclusive- j
iy to the advancement of the great principles
I of the Whig party, and the encouragement of
’ literature and science.
i The experience of the past year has confirm-
I ed in the minds of the more reflecting and sa
j gacious of the Whig party that a vacuum ex- |
ists in the periodical press of the country, in j
which should be combined the productions of
! our great statesmen on literary and scientific !
subjects, and those of the eminent literary ge
niuses of which the United States can boast so
1 ample a share, on the various subjects that
j present themselves to a sound and vigorous
, intellect.
It cannot be doubted that the present crisis
demands the publication of a work calculated
1 to infuse and circulate true and honest political
information, and to counteract the direful iu
: fluence exerted by a monthly periodical of a
similar nature published in this city, under
the auspices, and bearing the name of the
j self-styled Democracy of the present day, ad
vocating measures which, if successful, are
I destined to moulder to ruins the fabric of our
| noble Constitution, by placing constructions
.! on it to suit the caprice and advance the Teach
ings of a corrupt ambition.
The union of such principles with a general
literature as have*insulted the commop sense '
and honesty of the country, by proclaiming
the “ Martyrdom of Cilley,” rendered in a
manner more detestable from the insidious
way in which they are combined, tends di- j
rectly to the disorganization of all that, as
Americans, should be held most sacred. This
combination is calculated lo secure them a
circulation in quarters to which they might
not otherwise penetrate, as well as from a cer
tain deceptive air of high-toned philanthropy
and expansive liberality of views, with which
they are artfully able to invest themselves, for
the purpose of stealing their way into the
heads through the unsuspecting hearts of that
class on which depends the destiny and hopes
of the nation its young men. Whilst the
more experienced sagacity of older heads can
never hesitate a moment in recognising the
real naked deformity of these principles of
modern Radicalism, under all the fair seeming
disguises they may assume, yet to the young
they are replete with a subtle danger of the
most pernicious character.
The National Magazine and Republican Re
view, is designed, and w ill be conducted with
these and other high important considerations
in view, calculated to correct misconstruc
tions, and to inculcate the correct political
principles on which are based the views and
practice of the great Republican Whig party,
j as well as for the encouragement and rnainte
! nance of genuine political literature. The
publishers w ill neither spare expense in the
mechanical department of the work, nor their
utmost efforts to render the Review useful to
the I’ublic in a literary point of view, and j
honorable to the country and cause which it is
destined to espouse as a National work.
The National Magazine and Republican Re
-1 view, is designed, and will be conducted with
j those and other high important considerations
jin view, calculated to correct misconstruc
j tions, and to inculcate the correct political
! principles on which are based the views and
j practice of the great Republican Whig party,
'as well as for the encouragement and inainte
■ nance of genuine polite literature. The pub-
I lishers will neither spare expense in the me
chanical department of the work, nor their
j utmost efforts to render the Review useful to
| the Publi c in a literary point of view, and
| honorable to the country' and cause which it
j is destined to espouse as a National work.
The period is fast arriving when the coun
try will emerge from the dominion of a party
i which has come into power under the corrupt
i influence of a misled popular prejudice, and
1 which lias advocated and sailed under the
, broad and corrupt motto of office-seekers,
" Jo the victors belong the sjioils of the, ran
ijvislicd;" being alike anti-republican, uncon
stitutional, and a foul stain upon the free in
stitutions of the country, that can only be era
dicated by the triumph of the principles which
govern tire Republican Whig party of the
present day.
j The advocates of the principles alluded to,
who have stood foremost in defence of the
j Constitution and Laws when they were as di-
I minutive as a party could be. exerting the
strength of a Leonidas battling with the host
I of Xerxes, and have nearly succeeded in res-
I cuing the Government from the grasp of cor
-1 ruption. will deem it their imperative duty of
: continue their efforts, and it cannot better be
| done than by supporting a periodical of high
’ standing for sound political principle and lit
, crary worth; and such a one will be found
1 in the National Magazine and Republican Re
view.
j The success of the Magazine will therefore
depend, in a measure, on the great body of the
I opponents of the present Administration,
whose interest it will be to aid in its perma
nent establishment. And it will be equally
binding on the talented and patriotic band of
lead.ng VV bigs to spare neither time nor labor
to the explanation and advocacy of the true
and only principles on which the Govern
ment can prosper, and on the success of which
depends the great experiment of Republican
Government.
Having made these few remarks on the po
litical cast of the publication, we feel confi
dent that its utility will be readily perceived
by the public, and fully’ appreciated. In addi
tion to the political "features, the following
will be the principal subjects on which the
Review will treat, Irom the pens of most cele
; brated writers of the present day.
Ilcrieics anil Critical Notices will occupy a
portion of its pages, thereby giving praise to
genius, and censure to such productions only’
as arc richly deserving of it.
A Sketch of the Proceedings of Congress will
be given at the close of each session, in which
will lie explained the cause and effect of all
prominent acts and measures, compiled by a
gentleman of acknowledged ability and oppor
tunity to arrange and collect such matters as
will prove both interesting and instructive. (
Essays anil Talcs will also form an import- i
ant part of the work, and all original articles
of this character will receive prompt attention.
Tiie object of the publishers, next to enhanc
ing the good cause in which they have em
barked, will be to furnish the with such
matters as will both instruct and amuse,
such as
sketches and Reminiscences of events too mi- :
nute for history ;
Biographical anil Historical Sketches of dis
tinguished personages. Ac.
Original Poetry will be well sprinkled
through its pages.
/. ngnirin <js if distinguished Statesmen. —If
tlie work should receive the same encourage
ment as is usually extended to periodicals of a
literary and scientific character, the subscribers
I to the Review will not only find their nnna- 1
hers embellished with these desirable plates,
I but also with many other valuable improve- j
j ments.

A CONTRAST.
ALL nations, from the remotest ages, have
had ships, but Columbus only found out
the way to America. Before the time of the
great Spanish navigator, people were only en
abled to paddle about the shores. Just so with
the Life Medicines. It is but two short years
since I first ventured upon an unknown ocean,
and 1 have discovered the precious object I was
I in search of—HEALTH. Vegetable medi
‘ cines were indeed known when I commenced
my search, but their use was not. By the use
j of them, 1 have not only passed from the de
fected invalid, to the hale, hearty and active
man of business, but, comparatively speaking,
1 I have renewed my youth. I can thus, with
confidence in iny own experience, advise with
my fellow citizens. Does the reader want
i proof that the VEGETABLE MEDICINES
are suitable to his own case ? I have on file at
my office, 3G7 Broadway, hundreds of letters,
" from some of the most respectable citizens of
this my native land, voluntarily offered in tes
timony of the virtues of A GOOD VEGETA
BLE MEDICINE.
Persons whose constitutions have been near
ly ruined by the “all-infallible" mineral pre
parations of the day, will bear me witness, that
the Life Medicines, and such only, are the
true course to permanent good health.
JOHN MOFFAT.
General remarks relative to Moffat's Life Pills
and Pint nix Bitters.
These medicines have long bepn known and
appreciated, for their extraordinary and imme
diate powers of restoring perfect health, to per
sons suffering under nearly every kind of dis
| ease to which the human frame is liable.
In many hundreds of certificated instances,
they have even rescued sufferers from the very
verge of an untimely grave, after all the de
ceptive nostrums of the day had utterly failed ;
and to many thousands they have permanent
-1 lv secured that uniform enjoyment of health,
| without which life itself is but a partial bless
; ing. So great, indeed,has their efficacy inva
| riably and infallibly proved, that it hasappear
! ed scarcely less than miraculous to those who
I were unacquainted with the beautifully philo
sophical principles upon which they are com
pounded, and upon which they consequently
act. It was to their manifest and sensible ac
tion in purifying the springs and channels of
life and enduing them with renewed tone and
vigor, that they were indebted for their name,
which was bestowed upon them at the sponta
neous request of several individuals whose
lives they had obviously saved.
The proprietor rejoices in the opportunity
afforded liy the universal diffusion of the daily
press, for placing his VEGETABLE LIFE
I’ILLS within the knowledge and reach of ev
ery individual in the community. Unlike the
host of pernicious quackeries, which boast of
vegetable ingredients, the Life Pills are purely
and solely vegetable, and contain neither
Mercury, Antmiony, Arsenic, nor any other
mineral, in whatever. They are en
tirely composed of extracts from rare and pow
erful plants, the virtues of which, though long
known so several Indian tribes, and recently
to some eminent pliarniacc utical chemists, are
altogether unknown to the ignorant pretenders
to medical science ; and were never before ad-,
ministered in so happily efficacious a combina
tion.
Their first operation is to loosen from the
coats of the stomach and bowels, the various
impurities dnd crudities constantly settling a
round them ; and to remove the hardened fe
ces which collect in the convolutions of the
small intestines. Other medicines only par
tially cleanse these, and leave such collected
masses behind, as to produce habitual costive
ness, with all its train of evils, or sudden diar
rhoea, with its imminent dangers. This fact is
well known to all regular anatomists, who ex
amininc the human bowels after death : and
hence the prejudice of those well informed '
men against the quack medicines of the age. 1
The second effect of the VEGETABLE LIFE
PILLS is to cleanse the kidneys and the blad- i
der, and by this means, the liver and the Juno's. \
the healthful action of which entirely depends j
upon the regularity of the urinary organs !
3 he blood, which takes its red color from the \
agency of the liver and the lungs before it
passes into the heart, being thus purified by
(hem, and nourished by food coming from a
clean stomach, courses freely through the 1
veins, renews every part of the system, and 1
triumphantly mounts the banner of health in
the blooming cheek.
The following are among the distressing va
riety of human diseases, to which the Vegeta
ble Life Pills are well known to be infallible :
DYSPEPSIA, by thoroughly cleansing the 1
first and second stomachs, creating a flow of
pure healthy bile, instead of the stale and a
crid kind:— Flatulency, Palpitation of the Heart.
Loss of Appetite, Heart-burn and head-ache,
Restlessness, 111-temper, Anxiety, Languor, and
Mclaneholly, which are the general symp
toms of Dyspepsia, will vanish, as a rialural )
consequence of its cure. Costircness, by '
cleansing the whole length of the intestines
with a solvent process, and without violence.,
all violent purges leave the bowels costive
within two days. Diarrhaa and Cholera try
removing the sharp acrid fluids by which
these complaints are. occasioned, and by pro- I
■noting tiie lubricative secretion of the mucus 1
membrane. Levers of all kinds, by restoring (
the blood to a regular circulation, through the
process of perspiration-in* Rome comb, and the
thorough solution of all intoatinal obstructions
in others. The. LIFE PfLLS have been
known to cure Rheumatism, permanently in
three weeks, and Gout in half the time,’by re
moving local inflammation from the muscles
and ligaments of the joint#. Dropsies of mil
kinds, by freeing and strengthening the kid
neys and bladder; they operate most delight
fully on these important organs, and hence
have ever been found a certain remedy for
the worst eases of Gravel. Also, Worms, by
dislodging from the turningsjbf the bowels the
slimy matter to which these creatures adhere;
Asthma and Consumption, by relieving the air
vessels of the lungs from the mucus, which
even slight colds will occasion, which if not
removed becomes hardened, and podnees
those dreadful diseases. Scurvy, Ulcers, and
Inveterate bare*, by the perfect purity which
thek“ Life Pills give to the blood, and all the
burners; Scorbatte Eruptions, and Bad Com--
plexions by ,**>eir alterative effect upon the
fluids that feed uT* * k '«L the morbid state of
which occasions all Erl'pdTt complaints, Sal
loir, Cloudy and other disaf Teea Mt Complex
ions. The use of these Pills'fort verysbort
time, will effect an entire cure of Salt rhcvnPf-
Erysipelas, and a striking improvement in the
Clearness of the skin. Common Colds and
Infiutnza, will always be eared by one dose,
or, by two, even in the worst cases. Piles f
—as a remedy for this most distressing and
obstinate malady, the Vegetable Life Pills de
serve a distinct and emphatic recommenda
tion. It is well known to hundreds ih this
city, that the Proprietor of the invaluable Pills
was himself afflicted with this complaint for
upwards of thirty-five years, and that he tried
in vain every remedy prescribed within the
whole compass of the Materia Medica. He
however, at length, tried the medicine which
he now offers to the public, and he was cured
in a very short time, after his recovery had
been pronounced not only improbable, biit ab
solutely impossible, by any human means.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE.—The Proprie
tor of the Vegetable L<r* Pills does not
follow the base and mercenary practice of the
quacks of the day, in advising persons to take
his Pills in large quantities. No good medi
cine can possibly be so required. These Pills
are to be taken at bed time every night, for
a week or fortnight, according to the obstinacy
of the disease. The usual dose is from 2to 5,
according to the constitution of the person.
Very delicate persons should begin with but
two, and increase as the nature pf the case
may require: those more robust, or of very cos
tive habit, may begin with 3, and increase
to 4, or even 5 Pills, and they will effect a suf
ficiently happy change to guide the patient in
their further use. These Pills sometimes oc
casion sickness and vomiting, though very
seldom, unless the stomach is very foul; this,
however, may be considered a favorable symp
tom, as the patient will find himself at once
relieved, and by perseverance will soon re
cover. They usually operate within 10 or 12
hours, and never give pain, unless the bow
els are very much encumbered. They may
be taken by the most delicate females under
any circumstances.—lt is, however, recom
mended, that those in later periods ofpregnan
cy should take but one at a time, and thus con
tinue to keep the bowels open: and even two
may be taken where the patient is very cos
tive. One pill in a solution of two table
spoons full of water, may be given to an in
fant in the following doses—a tea spoon full
evsry two hours till it operates; for a child
from one to five years of age, half a pill—and
from five to ten one pill.
TIIE PHOENIX BITTERS, are so called,
because they possess the power of restoring
the expiring embers of health, to a glowing
vigor throughout the constitution, as the
Phoenix is said to be restored to life from the
ashes of its rwn dissolution. The Phoenix
Bitters are entirely vegetable, composed of
roots found only in certain parts of the west
ern country, which will infallibly cure FE-
V ERS AND AGUES of all kinds; will never
fail lo eradicate entirely all the effects of Mer
cury, infinitely sooner than the most powerful
preparations of Sarsaparilla, and will immedi
ately cure the determination of BLOOD TO
THE HEAD; never fail in the sickness inci
dent to young females; and will be found a
certain remedy in all cases of nervous*debility
and weakness of the most impaired constitu
tions. Asa remedy for Chronic and Inflam
matory Rheumatism, the efficacy of the Phopnix
Bitters will be demonstrated by the use of a
single bottle. The usual dose of these bitters
is half a wine glass full, in water or wine, and
tliis quantity may be taken two or three times
a day, about half an hour before meals, or a
less quantity may be taken at all times. To
those who are alllicted with indigestion after
meals, these Bitters will prove invaluable, as
they very greatly increase the action of the
principal viscera, help them to perform their
functions, and enable the stomach to discharge
into the bowels whatever is offensive. This
indigestion is easily and speedily removed,
appetite restored, and the mouths of the ab
sorbent vessels being cleansed, nutrition is
facilitated, and strength of body and energy
of mind are the happy results. For farther

Pills can be obtained for 25 cents, 50cents, or

In some obstinate and complicated cases of
■ chronic and inflammatory Rheumatism, Liver
Complaints, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia Palsy,
Piles , injuries from the use of mercury, quinine,
and other diseases of long' standing, it may be
| found necessary to take both the Life Pills
and the Plirenix Bitters, in the doses before
; recommended.
N. B.—These Pills and the Bitters will get
• all mercury out of the system infinitely fester
than the best preparations of Sarsaparilla, and
are a certain remedy for the rushing of blood
| to the head, or all violent headaches, tic dou
leurcux, Arc. —All persons who are predisposed
to apoplexy, palsy, &c, should never be with
out the Lite Pills or the Bitters, for one
in time will save life. They equalize the cir
j eolation of the blood, draw all.pressure from
the head, restore prespiration, and throw ot£
every impurity by the pores of the skin.

vised to take the Pills at night, in sufficient
qantities to operate two or three times on the

hour before each meal. For those of a delicate
or enfeebled constitution, half the quantity
may he sufficient.
