Eighteenth anti .XuutaiUh Uolumts
WITH a circulation double the extent of any
other monthly of the same nature. Not
a State or Territory in which may not be found
tins popular publication. The Lady’s Rook, and
ns it has emphatically been termed, by a num
ber of the contemporary press, The Lady's
National Magazine, is issued monthly in the
city of Philadelphia. Seventeen volumes have
already been published, and in a very short
time it U-ill in itself comprise a library of the
contributions of the .4f-i.it Celebrated Writers of
the Age. —This work is intended principally as
a repository for the Lady Writers of America,
most of whom of any eminence contribute to
its pages—and it is conducted upon the same
liberal principles as in former years—PAYING
for original contributions, in the most liberal
manner, thus securing a Galaxy of I'rnuilr
Talent which can not he, or at least is not,
employed by any other Publisher. As an evi
dence of what kind of persons use the Lady’s
Rook as a vehicle to convey their productions
to the public, reference may he made to the
cover of any of the Nos. lately published, as
it would take up too much room to give all the
names.
MRS. HALE & MISS LESLIE
Still occupy the same stations that they did in
a former year, and we shall nlso have it in our
power to convey to the public some of the de
lightful effusions of
>f ns. .s’ ia o u it . ve y.
One feature in the work which has given so
much satisfaction, the Splendid Colored Chiles
of Fashions, will he continued.—These arc en
graved and colored in a superior manner, and
arranged expressly for the Lady's Book. Also,
TWO CAGE* OF MUSIC
Will be given Monthly. —These Embellishments
alone are more than worth the extraordinary
low price at which the book is put. The Sub
scriber loses no opportunity to aid his work
with pictorial cmb-'llisliiwiits, poetical cfl’u
sious, works of Fiction, and sound moral arti
cles, that make it a desideratum in every fam
ily. His whole attention is given to (lie con
ducting of the Book, assisted by the Ladies
previously mentioned—lienee its superiority.
PORTRAITS ON STEEL,
Os the most celebrated Ft mule II filers
Os our country, form part of the work. In ad
dition to the Plates of Fashions, the June and
December Nos. contain beautiful Pule Pugis,
engraved on Steel..

bis various other publications, most of them
by Ladies, lie would mention first, a work
on Cookery, by one of the Editors, Miss Leslie,
n work which has passed through many odi
tiotMi, and is still in the greatest demand in
large cities. It is an invaluable auxiliary'to
housekeeping.
DIRECTIONS FOR COOKING,
In its various branches, by Miss Limn
Third Edition, with Improvements and Sup
plementary Receipts
NOTICES.—“ This is the most complete
manual of cooking which has ycl been pub
lished. All the processes of preparing meat,
vegetables, and pastry, all the secrets of the
dishes which have a thousand times delighted
our palates and puzzled our brains, are lu re
laid open to every one who chooses to pry into
them; and every housewife who is furnished
with this key, may provide her table with a va
riety of delicacies which heretofore have been
thought inaccessible but through the skill of
professed cooks.—[Saturday News.
*< This is the book for housekeepers. Full
of useful information connected with the sub
ject of gastronomy."—[Heston Post.
“ And tliis real housewife hook, which ought
to hold a middle place between the parlor and
the kUchen, is the work of Miss Leslie, whose
delightful pen has so often enriched the ele
gant literature of our country. This volume
contains the art of cooking, preparing, and
carving the whole list of eatables, from the
eVrir to the apple. The hook is a perfect, rat!t
mruim for the housekeeper, and wo should
think would be in demand for the soundness
of its culinary doctrine, and the simplicity of
its precepts."—[U. S. Gazette.
v* Being independent of the kitchen, and
unqualified for an umpirage in culinary pro
prieties. we handed the hook to a good house
wile, who pronounces it worthy the Author
ess — the best compliment that could be bestowed
on it.” —Nat. Gaz.

DEVOTED Til TDK MIKNCr OK MISIC.
rruiE subscriber in appealing to n generous
JL public to sustain him in his undertaking
is aware of (he numerous difficulties against
which he will have to contend, but with a firm
resolution, and a devotedness to his business,
lie feels confident of overcoming them.
The idea of starting a paper at the South . de
voted entirely to the subject of music, may
appear novel and visionary, but with a little
reflection, it will be found such a work is
much needed in this section of our country.
The north has gone far ahead of us in this
useful science, and it is no doubt, owing to
the existence of thier numerous journals
through whose columns the principles of Mu
sic arc simplified and brought within the com
prehension of Juvenile learners.— It is true
there are many valuable books written on the
subject oi'Music, but they are not within the
reach of all and even if they were, they are not
written in a style to be understood by that
class standing more in need of instruction 1
mean scholars. To depend altogether on the
labors of the teacher is depending on too much.
It is n>t like learning grammar or history,
where the pupil has a text book to which to re
fer. The teacher gives instruction one day
which is forgotten the next. So it will be the
aim of tin 1 Editor of the Harp to make the sci
ence as uasy as passible, by leading the pupil
n gradirally from the elementary to more dif
ficult branches of Musical Science.
’l'lie columns of the Harp will be open to all
communications on the subject of Music, wheth
er of a sacred or secular nature.
Each number will contain one or more pieces
of eng.m lor selected Music, for the Piano,
Guitar or Flute; Church Music will also find a
place in our columns. Thus tlie lletrp will lie
a welcome visitor to the pupil, the amateur,
and tiie religious community.
The lltirp will be issued Semi-Monthly,

A CONTRACT.
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 puddle about the shores. Just so with
the Life Medicines. It is but two short years
since I first ventured upon an unknown ocean,
and I have discovered the precious object I was
in search of—HEALTH. Vegetable medi
cines were indeed known when 1 commenced
my search, hut their use was .. it. By the use
of them, 1 have not only passed from the de
jected invalid, to the hale, heart}' and active
j man of business, but, comparatively speaking,
| I have renewed my youth. 1 can thus, with
| confidence in my own experience, advise with
my fellow citizens. Does the reader want
1 proof that the VEGETABLE MEDICINES
| are suitable to bis own case ? I have on file at
j my office, 357 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
; RLE MEDICINE.
Persons whose constitutions have been near
; ly ruined by the “all-infallible" mineral pre
parations of the day, will bear me witness, that
Ke Life Medicines, and such only, are the
prue course to permanent good health.
JOHN MOFFAT.
: General, remarks relative to Moffat's Life Fills
and Fhcenix Bitters.
These medicines have long been known and
appreciated, for their extraordinary and imme
diate powers of restoring perfect health, to per
sons guttering under nearly every kind of dis
ease to which the human frame is liable,
j In many hundreds of certificated instances.
; they have even rescued sufferers from the very
verge of an untimely grave, after ail the de
i ceptive nostrums ol the day had utterly failed {
i and to many thousands they have permanent
ly secured that uniform enjoyment of health,
j without which life itself is but a partial bless
ing. So great, indeed, has their efficacy inva
riably and infallibly proved, that it has appear
ed scarcely less than miraculous to those who
l were unacquainted with the boautifullyphilo
j sophical principles upon which they are com
-1 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 thorn with renewed tone and
vigor, that they were indebted for their name,
which was bestowed upon them at the sponta
j neous request of several individuals whose
lives they had obviously saved.
The proprietor rejoices in the opportunity
afforded by the universal diffusion of the daily
, press, for placing his VEGETABLE LIFE
FILLS within the knowledge a*d reach of ev
ery individual in the community. Unlike the
j host of pernieicAis quackeries, which boast of
; vegetable ingredients, the Life Pills are purely
and soi.ei.y vegetable, and contain neither
Mercury, Antimony, Arsenic, nor any other
mineral, in any form whatever. They are en
tirely composed of extracts from rare and pow
erful plants, the virtues of which, though long
known to several Indian tribes, and recently
; to some eminent pharmaceutical chemists, are
altogether unknown to the ignorant pretenders
I 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
i impurities and crudities constantly settling a
| round them ; and lo remove the hardened fte-
I ccs which collect in the convolutions of the
small intestines. Other medicines only par-’
ftiaily cleanse these, and leave such collected
j masses behind, to produce habitual costive
! ness, with all its train of evils, or sudden diar
| rlnea. with ils imminent dangers. This fact is
i well known to all regular anatomists, who ex
jaininiue the human bowels after death: and
hence the prejudice of these well informed
men against the quack medicines of the age.
The second effect of the VEGETABLE LIFE
PILLS is to cleanse the kidneys and the blad
der. and by this means, the liver and the lungs,
the healthful action of which entirely depends
upon the regularity of tiie urinary organs
The blood, wliich takes its red color from the
agency of the liver and the lungs before it
! passes into the heart, being thus purified by
them, and nourished by food coming from a
clean stomach, courses freely through the
veins, renews every part of the system, and
triumphantly mounts tiie banner oi’ 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
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 -lppctite, Heart-hum and head-ache,
Restlessness, 111-temper, Anxiety, Languor, and
Mehtncholhj, which are the general symp
toms of Dyspepsia, will vanish, as a natural
consequence of its cure. Costircness, by
cleansing the whole length of the intestines
with a solvent process, and without violence;
ail violent purges leave the bowels costive
within two days. Diarrhaa and Cholera by
removing the sharp acrid fluids by which
these complaints are occasioned, and by pro
moting ihe'Wvrica' ve secretion of the mucus
membrane. Ferris of all hinds, by restoring
the blxid tea r -gular ' iiculation, through th«
process of perspiratiaß in some cases, and the
thorough solution of all intestinal obstructions
in others. 'Die LIFE PILLS have been
known to cure Rkeumatism permanently in
three weeks, and Gout in half the time, by re
moving local inllammation from the muscles
and ligaments of the joints. Dropsies of all
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 cases of Gravel. Also, Worms, by
dislodging from the turnings of 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 poduces
those dreadful diseases. Scurry, Ulcers, and
Inveterate Sores, by the perfect purity which
these Life Pills give to the blood, and all the
humors; Scorbutic Eruptions, and Bad Com
plexions by their alterative effect upon the
fluids that feed the skin, the morbid state of
which occasions all Erupticc complaints, Sal
low, Cloudy and other disagreeable Complex
ions. The use of these Pills for a very short
time, will effect an entire cure of Salt rheum,
Erysipelas, and a striking improvement in the
Clearness of the skin. Common Colds and
Influenza, will always be cured by one dose,
or, by two, even in the worst cases. Piles,
—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 in this
city, thatthe Proprietor oftlie invaluable Pills
was himself afllicted with this complaint for
upwards of thirty-five years, anil 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 imo, after his recovery had
been pronounced not only imppobab'e, but ab
solutely impossible, by any human means.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE.-The Proprie
tor of tiie Vegetable Life 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. Nogood medi
cine can possibly be so required. These Pills
are to he taken at bed time every night, for
a week or fortnight, according to the obstinacy
of the disease. The usual dose i3 from 2to 5,
according to the constitution of the person.
Very delicate persons should begin with but
two, and increase as the nature of 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 r. 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, 1. .wever, recom
mended. that.those in laterperiods ofpregnan
cy should take but one at a time, and thus con
tinue to keep the bowels open: and CTen two
may be taken whore 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
every 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.
THE PIICENIX BITTERS, arc so called,
because they possess the power of restoring
the expiring embers of health, to a glowing
vigor throughout the constitution, as the
Plnenix is said to be restored to life from the
ashes of its own dissolution. Tile Phoenix
Bitters are entirely vegetable, composed of
roots found only in certain parts of the west
ern country, which will infallibly cure FE
VERS AND AGUES of all kinds; will never
fail to 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
TIIE 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 anil Inflam
matory Rheumatism, the efficacy of the Phoenix
Bitters will be demonstrated by the use of a
single bottle. The usual dose of these bitters
is half a (vine glass full, in water or wine, and
this quantity may be taken two or Jjiree times
a day, about half an hour before meals, or a
less quantity may be taken at all time*. To
those who are afilicted 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
particulars of MOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS, and
PHOENIX BITTERS, apply at Mr. Moffat's
office, No. 307 Broadway, New York,where the
1 ills can be obtained for 25 cents, 50 cents, or
$1 per box; and the Bitters for $1 or $2 per
bottle, Numerous certificates of the won
derful efficacy of both, may be there inspect
ed.
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 l:e
found necessary to take both the Life Pills
and the Phccnix Bitters, in the doses before
recommended.
N- H.—These Pills and the Bitters will gat
nil mercury out of the system infinitely faster
than the best preparations of Sarsaparilla, and
are a certain remedy for the rushing of Hood
to the head, or all violent headaches, tic dou
leurcnx, i&c.—All persons who are predisposed
to apoplexy, patsy, &c, should never be with
out the Life Pills or the Bitters, for one dose
in time will save life. They equalize the cir
culation of the blood, draw all pressure from
the head, restore prespiration, and throw off
every impurity by the pores of the skin.
IMPORTANT NOTICE.
I ersons using the Life Medicines, are ad
vised to take the Pills at night, in sufficient
qantities to operate two>. or three times on the
bowels in the course of the next day. Also
take a table spoonful of the Bitters half an
hour oefore each meal. For those of a delicate
or enfeebled constitution, half the quantity
may be sufficient. J
