PROSPECTUS OF A NEW PERIODICAL
DENoMINATED THE
ibis:
OR MORAL EXPURGATOR, AND SCIEN-
TIFIC AND LITERARY EXPOSITOR.

TIFIC AND LITERARY EXPOSITOR.
Il Il is in contemplation to commence the issue of a SEM
IL monthly Periodical, upon the first of January, 1910,
with the foregoing unique cognomon, and which is design
ed to be entirely original, and to be presented to its patrons
in the state Of a well executed royal octave of sixteen doub-
le-column pay 8, amounting, in the year, to nearly one
thousand of those ordinarily presented in the book form !
constituting a volume which, it is intended, shall be as
useful as ample, and which is offered TO subscribers, a,
the uncompensatory price of two dollars a year, payable
however, unexceptonably in advance.
The object of the present enterprise is not to create 4
substitute for those more elaborate, volumiuous and supe
rior Periodicals, with which persons who are able may be
abundantly supplied from abroad; but to afford a cheap
and convenient vehicle for recording and circulating the
readable lncubrations of our sectional Literati; and which,
we hope, will be, the more abundantly elected in thechar-
acter of manuscript contributions, by the proffered opror-
unity for PRONUNCIATION.
The character of the work is designed to be neither II e.
illogical, political, sectarian nor partial; and, therefore,
open to universal, chaste discussion and recuperative irony.
Its columns are intended tobe, mostly, appropriated to the
investigation of physical and intellectual humanity; to the
contemplation of man as a moral and social being Swhelm-
ed in responsibilities, ignorance and delinquency With
their, inevitably, disastrous consequences; to expose and
reform the ignorance. error and vices of society, by refec-
ting, convincingly, upon each, its deformity, hazards and
catastrophies, and to scourge or ridicule, both, fashionable
and Questionable RIGHTEOUSNESS and foley, out of credit
with their votaries, and out of humor with themselves: In
fine, it is intended as an oracle, through which, truth may
be fearlessly uttered; and in whose responses, Virtue shah
find ample encouragement to emulation, while Vice shall
see Meme Tekel written on every wall of its habitation.
These are the selfevidently, laudable objects, for the at
of which our contemplated periodical is to be in
stituted and for whose encouragement, We would, conf
IDENTITY, yet courteously, present our claim to public patron
age; not, however, without the provision ofis being cheer
relinquished, whenever the value of the work shall
havo Jailed to Justify its continuance.

The following Letter, just received, illustrates in an in

mors and scrofulous swellngs, and is another evidence of
its effects as an alternative, in changing the action of the

constitution impaired by protracted disease although in
some cases it may take considerable time Gas it does for all

Gentlemen,-Seeing the very high estimation held forth
by the Agent in this section, and by those who had the OPP
portunity of trying DR.. Phelps Compound Tomato Pills
and being under belief of the firm having restored healthy
secretions of the ~glandular system more than once, by US
ing the Tomato Apple as a vegetable 1 have been induc-
ed TO try this medicine in various diseases. In the Autumn
nal lntermittents, prevalent in this section of the States, l
have no doubt DR.. Phelps Compound Tomato Pills will, in
a great measure, if not entirely SuperSede the use ofCAL-
oMEI. | believe that in diseased liver they are more
prompt in their effect, and as efficient, as Calomel-Ih have
tried them in various other diseases, as rheumatism, Dys-
pepsia, Jaundice, SC, with the most happy effects. As
far as my knowledge extends, l have no hesitancy in rec
ommending them as a highly ualuable Family Medicine.

From ogentlem0n Gfhigh respccta6ihty dated


New York, Nov. 9th, 1888.
. To r. g.. Phelps,-Dear Sir Il have used your Com
pound Tomato Pills, the past season, for the Liver COM
plant and am happy to add, with decided benefit amp
therefore take great pleasure in recommending them as
well from a sense of gratitude to the benevolent Proprietor,
as with a view of serving the cause of philanthropy from
a sense Of duty | owe the public TO bearing my testimony
in favor of this-the worlds invaluable medicine.
Six years since, | suffered from a malady, pronounced by
the concurrent opinion of a council of physicians, a chrOn-
&c inflammation Of the Liver and underwent a skilful
mercMldl treatment being confined for many months
and at length mainly restored to a tolerable degree OF
health, though not without an apprehension that | should
be similarly afflicted. Ny fears have been but too well
confirmed by a recurrence of nearly all the symptoms of
this dreadful malady the past summer when accidentally
] heard of your Pills, and learning something of their prop
critics and characters. and their rapidly increasing celebri-
ty, resolved on trying them. Feeling as | did, a repug-
napce to resorting again TO Calomel, and after Intellectually
unsuccessfully trying other medicines protesting a
specific remedy for this complaint, I purchased a box of the
Messrs. Sands, Druggists, corner William and Fulton streets
duly authorized agents they presenting me, to accompa-
ny the box, a pamphlet containing a specification, dircc-
&c. L had not taken one box of them before | hap
PLY experienced their healing efficacy and curative effects
and now that | have given them a thorough trial, can
and unhesitatingly pronounce them the very
best remedy extant for any arrangement or affection of the
Liver or Spleen, Bilious affections, Palpitation of the
Heart, or Dyspepsia in any of its forms also as a good
family medicine, are the best with which | am acquainted.
At my recommendation and solicitation many of nv
and acquaintance have taken them as a family med
icine, with perfect success. l grant my permission to use
this as you please. Yours truly,
ISAAC W.. AVERY, l79 William street.
