a Weekly Newspaper Of The largest size
published in NetC York,
EDITED BY ]. B. MOORE AND R. JARVIS.
MNHIS paper, which always enjoys
- very large circulation, commends
itself to general patronage, by The extent
of its ample pages, its tasteful arrange
ment, and beauty of its mechanical exc
cution, as well as by The spirit, variety and
ability off contents. The novelty of the
arrangement Of its columns, under the
emblems Of the several States, most beau
tifuly executed, has attracted almost uni
versal attention, and drawn forth the
warmest commentators from the press,
and the reading public. The plan also,
Of combining sound political discussions
with literary and miscellaneous reading is
also generally approved; as no one, IN
times like the present, can be supposed to
be Indifferent to public affairs. A brief
outline Of the plan adopted is here given:
POLITICS.
The 'EMpIRE STATE" like the noble
Commonwealth from which it takes its
earnest support to sound DEMOCRATIC
WING PRINCIPLES as the only secure ba-
sis of National Freedom and Prosperity.
1t VIII give a warm support to the Patriot
Farmer and Statesman, Gen. Harrison,
for the Presidency. The aid of expert
enced and veteran writers has been secu-
red-the most ample correspondence es-
tablished--and every arrangement made,
whereby journal worthy of the spirit and
taste of the age, and combining the advan-
tages both of the best political and neutral
papers, can be procured in addition to full
and vigorous editorial discussions and cor
respondence, the best Speeches of our
most distinguished public men, on the
great questions of the day, will, from time
to time be given.
LITERATURE.-In each number of the pa
per will be presented an amount and vari-
ETY. Of Original Tales, Popular Essays, Po-
etry, Biography, Historical Novelties,
Anecdotes. and General Miscellany, equal
to that of any other paper. The best ar
ticles contained in the English periodical
and extracts from new works, of merit,
which appear from week TO week, will
also be presented.
News. In this department, the Empire
State" is without rival. No paper publish
ed in the country devotes so large space
to the concerns of the states, or presents
at earlier date, more accurate, full aud in
teresting details of News, foreign and do
nestle. CONGRESSIONAL DEBATES will
form distinct feature in this'paper.
The design of the publishers is to pre-.
sent valuable political journal, devoted
to sound principles, and at the same time
to furnish such variety of literary, mis-.
cellaneous and amusing matter; as shall
render the Empire State" not only USE
full and welcome yisitant in every family
of the country, but to give subscriber to
the paper, the double advantage of posses.
sing in one, all the attra ctions furnished
both by political and by neutral paper.
| 0FSpecimen numbers will be sent wher-
ever desired. Letters must be post paid.

IUvHE UNPARALLELED reputation which Peters
pills hove acuuired as Medical Kesto-
ratiye. is the most unquestlonaDie PROOF 1ii.s
as, 10 9r;van &C their immense importance TO
the afflicted. in almost every class oil diseases.
STbe number of letters received from patieh.t.s
racoyer;ng through their means is really prodl-
g;ons. and the Complaints which they have
cured aro almost as varied as they are numer-
ous But still there are some IN winch Ihey
are moro especially beneficial than IN others J
and amono those may be named the TOO oiteh
fatal complaints of the stomach and boweis'
such as Collie, Flatulence, and lndIgesuon, Tor
which they are not only certain Dut an I'M
mediate cure.
II is well known that from the disarrange-
ment of the stomach and bowels, arse nine
tenths of all the maladies of adult and declining
life that is the foundation of Flatulency, Spas
modic Pains, Indigestion, Loss OF Appetite,
&C.. and that those in their turn give birth TO
Dropsy, Liver Complaint, Consumption, and
habitual lowness of spirits; therefore Peters
Pills being the very best medicine which has
ever been discovered for the incipent diseases
of the intestines, are necessarily the surest
preventives of those dreadful, and also general
disorders which embitter mature life, and drag
so many millions to untimely graves.
Inopeaking thus, DR.. Peters arrogates moth
ing to himself that has not been conceded by
the public, He is no needy quack or unknown
Spectator, who comes before the world as his
own herald and witness but is placed in a
responsibility of situation by the patronage
which he has enjoyed for years, and which is
increasing to az extent unprecedented in the
annals of medicine, that makes him careful to
assert nothing which is not borne out by the
most infallible proof and hence he does not feaI
to be put to the test in any thing which he
has promised respecting his Pills.
DR.. Peters is most happy to be able to state
on the authority of a great number of regular
| physicians, that wherever his Vegetable Pill:
have been introduced, they have almost super.
ceded the adoption of mercurial experiments
tor their peculiar faculty for sweetening the
blood, and stimulating it to expel all noxiou:
juices and in giving strength and tone to the
nerves, prevents disease from acquiring thai
strength which must be got under, if at all, BY
dangerous remedies.

NEW PATENT TRUSSES.

NEW PATENT TRUSSES.
Id EV. II. REID'S New Independent
u Trusses, without strop or buckle,
for the relief and cure of Hernia or Rupt-
ure of every kind, superior to any in the
world.
In presenting these useful Instruments
to the public, we will only say, that they
differ entirely from all other Trusses, and
that it is acknowledged by everyPhysician
and Surgeon who has examined them to be
IN every respect, especially in simplicity,
convenience and comfort, infinitely superb
or to, and better adapted to the relief and
cure of this distressing disease than any
thing of the kind ever before known TO the
profession.
In most cases, which have not been of
long standing, an entire and permanent
cure may be confidently expected. They
are equally well adapted to cases of Fe.
males and Children of every age.
Certificates ofpersons of all ages can be
shown if necessary-we will only insert
the following
| hereby certify that have been a sub.
Ject of Hernia since 1914; during which
time have examined every kind of Truss
that ever was invented; and have worn
number of kinds that have been recon.
mended by eminent Physicians, as the best
in their opinion. But 1 can with conf.
dence recommend to all afflicted with Her
MIA, the use of the newly invented Truss.
by Rev. H. Reid. The Truss needs no
other recommendation than for the aflict.
ed TO see and test its superior qualities by
actual experiment.
Feeling a sympathy for the subjects of
this distressing disease, have given the
above notice solely for their benefit.
