D. MOORE, JusttSouth of McKee’s Carriage Shep. J oprlß 1v VOL. I. —NO. 114 APPLETQNS’ American Cyclopaedia, New Revised Edition. Entirely rowrlttou by tho ablest writers on every subject. Printed from now type, and illus trated with Several Thousand Engraving* and Maps. The work originally published under the title of The New Amebic an Cyclopedia was com pleted in 1863, since which time tho wide circula tion which it has attained in all parts of tho United States, and the signal developments which have taken place in every branch of science, lit erature ami art, hove Induced the editora aud publishers to submit it to an exact aud thorough revision, ami to issue anew edition entitled Thb Amkhk-an Cyclopaedia. Within the last ten years the progress of dis covery in every department of knowledge has made n new work of reference an imperative uant. The movement of political affairs has kept pace with tho discoveries of science, aud their fruitful application to the industrial and useful arts and the convenience and roffuemont of social life. Great wars ami consequent revolutions havo oc curred, involving national changes of peculiar moment. Tho civil war of our own country, which was at its height when the last volume of the old work appeared, has happily been ended, und anew courso of commercial and industrial activity has been commenced. Large accessions to our geographical knowl edge have been made by tho indefatigable ex plorers of Africa. The great political revolutions of tho last, de cade, with the natural result of the lapse of time, havo brought into public view a multitude of new men, whose names aro in every one’s mouth, and of whose lives every one is curious to know tho particulars. Great battles have been fought and important sieges maintained, of which the de tails are as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in the transient publication* of tho day, but which ought uow to tako their place in perma nent and authentic history. In preparing the present edition for tho press, it has accordingly been the aim of tho editors to bring down tho information to the latest possi ble dates, aud to furnish an accurate account of the moat recent discoveries in science, of every fresh production in literature, aud of the newest Inventions iu the practical artH, as well as to give a succinct aud original record of the progress of political uml historical events. The # work bus been begun alter long and care ful preliminary labor, and with tho most ample resources for carrying it on to a successful term ination. Nono of the original storcotype plates have been used, but every page has been printed on new type, forming iu fact anew Cyclopedia, with the same plan and compasH as its predecessor, but with a lkr greater pecuniary expenditure, and with such improvements in its composition as have been suggested by longer experience and enlarged knowledge. The illustrations which aro introduced for the first time iu the present edition have been added not for tho sake of pictorial effect, but to give greater laeidity and force to the explanations iu the text. They embrace all branches of science aud oi natural history, uud depict the most famous ami remarkable features of scenery, architecture aud art, as well as the various pro cesses of mechanics and manufactures. Although intended for instruction rather tbau embelishment, no paiim have been spared to in sure their artistic excellence; tho cost of tlieir execution is enormous* ami it is believed they will find a welcome reception as an admirable feature of tho Cyclopredia, and worthy of its high character. This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable on delivery of each volume. It will be completed in sixteen large octavo volumes, each containing about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several thousand Wood Engravings, aud with numerous colored Lithographic Maps.

Jordan, Esq.—Dear Bir; Bo well pleased am I with your Joyous Julep, that 1 hereby tes tify to tho superior merit of your unequaled preparation for Neuralgia. I shall esteem my self happy should even one of that worst of all classes of sufferers bo led through me to tako the Julep. My wife has for ten (10) years boon a mar tyr to tho most malignant and persistent neural gic torture, without being able to find any relief except from your preparation. Bho was relieved by the second dose as per directions, and has not had a return of it for two months. To some I may seem strangely sanguine about your medi cine, but I have a right to be so. It is not rea souable to suppose this malignant malady would have died of sheer exhaustion of capacity for sustaining itself, and that too in a minute, and the very minute your medicine was taken. If so, it is a most remarkable, simple coincidence, aud I prefer gtving the credit in your favor of the best testimony man can ever have—experience. Vary truly yours, JAMES T. TOSH. Columbus, January 16, 1875. Mr.Jordan:— l take great pleasure in recom mending your Joyous Julep for neuralgia, lias produced a most wonderful relief in one o the severest attacks of neuralgia my daughter ever has had. Bho has been treated for it by throe skillful physicians, with very little benefit, and used all the usual remedies with little suc cess. I can with much confidence hope for a per manent cure. It is only two day* since we began the use of it, and it is apparently of permanent benefit. Yours, with respect, MRS. L. I. NORMAN. JOHN Mj. JORDAN, Apothecary.
