 The public are also cautioned against pur- chasing medicines from those who are nof au- horized Agents, as many are selling articles under the name of Thompson's Medicines, which have nothing but the name to recon . mend them, and many articles sold by them, are even poisonous, and act in direct opposi- tion to the principles of the Thompsonian sys- tem.-Therefore, those that wish for genuine medicines, will do well to examine into the authority of those from whom they purchase as all authorized, will be furnished with a printed article signed either by Samuel Thompson or PIKE, PLATT, & Co.

American Journal of Science g. Arts,
 BY PROFESSOR B. SULLIVAN.


 "HIS work was projected in 1917, and H commenced in July, 1918. Before that period, no Original Journal of Science had ap- peared in this country, except that of Dr BRUCE, which was l;rneted to Mineralogy, and ceased with the completion of the first vo- lume. The American Journal has been sus- tained more than eleven years, until it has reached it's twentieth volume.
 There is sufficient evidence to shew, that it has essentially promoted some of our most i'm portant national interests. It is known and accredited, not only at home, but in the most enlightened countries of Europe; and as the leading Foreign Journals of Science are sent in exchange, and frequently quote from its pages, it has become thus identified with the progress of the Science and Arts of the pre- sent day.
 TERMs.-The terms are three dollars a volume in advance, and there are two volumes 8vo. year, of two Nos. each; they were oii- ginally stipulated to contain 320 pages, but have averaged more than 400. The reason why the price of this Journal is one dollar higher than that of the American Quarterly Review is, that the plates and composition make it more expensive, while the patronage is more limited.
 Complete sets of all the back volumes can be furnished, at a suitable discount, either in numbers or in half or full binding.
 A number of the work will be sent, gratis, as specimen, when desired.
 tF7 It is expected that postage will always be paid on orders and remittances for the journal, but not communications for its pages.

CNolera.-W. s.

 nsT'he remedy in this case was simple and efficacious, and with view that 1t may be ge- nerally known, will give the circumstances just as they transpired. happened to be on an evening visit to my next nelghoor; scarcely two hours of the visit had elapsed, when my kitmutger came in with much distress III hls countenance, to tell me that my servant was seized with the Cholera, and was very bad. I hastened home as quick as possible, and found the poor man in dreadful state, and almost reduced to skeleton, who but two hours before was strong and hearty. On sec ing me the poor fellow smiled mournfully, and said in his native tongue, "Master, am very, very sick; shall die-my wife and children, I shall see no more." l consoled him as much as possible, and promised to give him some thing to relieve him.
 prepared him wine glass full ofthe best French brandy, and small teaspoon full of black pepper, stirred well together, the whole of which the patient took at once. l then put him into warm room, closed all the windows and doors, to keep out the air, wrap ped him up in pair of thick blankets, and requested him to compose himself. l then watched the result. In shoJt time l found the desire for reaching ana evacuation had abated, and the patient in strong persplra- tion. kept him in that state for six or eight hours, during which time forbade water or any thing else to be given him. After the lapse of the above time the patient told me he felt quite well, only very weak. l then ordered the precipitation to be well wiped off with dry cloth, and clean clothes put on, giving him at the same time chicken broth, which he partrok of freely. Every symptom of the disease was now gone, leaving the pa tient in weak state, which was not to be wondered at, from what he suffered previous to taking the draught. In few days he 50 far recovered as to be able to resume his usu- al occupations.
 tInstances of Cholera have come under my notice. where brandy and laudanum have been used with success; still should prefer the brandy and pepper; and if any of my friends were attacked with the disease, l should strongly recommend its application, regula ting the quantity for dose, and the time for sweating, to the age and constitution of the patient.'

 N returns his sincere thanks to his former customers, and solicits continuance of their favors also requests the public, generally, to give his house trial, and although he may have no spirits for sale, he would not be un- derstood thereby to prohibit those favoring him with their patronage from the use thereof, or from keeping their rooms supplied with them honest and obliging servants will all ways be at hand to execute any commands which the wants or comfort of guests may re- quire. This establishment and servants be- ing the property of the subscriber, he ex- poets to continue the business permanently, (unless an opportunity to sell should offer), and being pleasantly located in the centre of business, and in its construction one of the most convenient, its advantages are surpassed by no other house in the city. The rooms are large and well ventilated, which render them very pleasant and healthy in summer, and very convenient at all times The un- parallelcd health of our city and surrounding country, having for years been so good, that we can with great propriety invite persons who wish to find a healthful retreat, to spend the summer with us. We have a Mineral Spring, two miles from the city, to which ma- ny have resorted during the two last summers, who all speak highly of its benefits to their health. To such this house would be plea sant home, as it has suits of apartments in entire private situations for the accommoda- tion of families, with private tables to such as prefer them. The proprietor hopes his ex- ertion to please will render his house plea sant residence to such as favor him with their patronage.
 To this establishment belongs very exten- sive stables, which will always be stored with the best of provender, and attended by ho- nest, industrious, and skilful ostlers, with a convenient tot for droves, SIc.
 Notwithstanding my expectation to be per- manent in the business, owing to the confine- ment, SIc., am disposed to sell out the es- tablishment, but the business being profta- ble one, l will by no means neglect the vigilant prosecution of it, because am offering to sell, but will rather be more attentive than other wise. This establishment affords also one of the best stands for merchandise in the place, and has very fine finished rooms for that hu- siness, attached to which is a very fine watre proof cellar.
 As do not propose selling for the purpose of raising money particularyaI will extend the credit to great length 4ctime-the mo ney being we'll secured, anu the interest paid annually. a' also, have several tracts of land, and some lots in this place, which would sell on very extensive credits.

Gcology.-The progress which Geology has made within two years past branch of common ed ucation, is truly astonishing. The Children of nu- merous schools in various parts of the country have become as familiar with the common rocks and other minerals found in their several vcnities as they are with the articles of table furniture Where this is the case, they fail to deposit collection in their school houses, and also in their dwellings.
 No subject of common school education is perhaps attended with greater or more numerous advantages Besides giving children knowledge of some of the most useful works of their Creator it furnishes them with rich entertainment, and most heahul and profitable exercise. It makes them observing cuti- yates their taste and leads them to reflect upon the wisdom, power and goodness of their Creator in surrounding them with so much that is beautiful, grand and excellent.
 The knowledge which children acquire with so much rapdity and delight on this subject, will ren- der the efficient and useful agents, in furnishing ma- terials for Ioaon and Country Maps to be procured under the plan recommended by the National Ly- ceum lfgeoogy could be introduced into the schools ofevery town in the U. States the children in those schools would be able, in short time, to furnish most of the information respecting the geological features of thelr towns which would be needed for maps. ..
