told him he had consumption, and must pre-
pare to die. as he could not be cured. A friend
advised him to try DR.. Sherman's Cough Lo-

grow better, and before he had taken fonr

Mr. Kemp of Newburgh, was cured of

his life to them.
Mrs jenkins was given up as incurable, and

THE first volume of this work closed with
the number for September. twas generally
and warmly commended. for its typograph-
ical beauty, IFS charitable spirit, and the varied
merits of its correspondence. It's subscrip-
ton list is already sufficient to sustain it, and
would probably increase in the ordinary
course of publication; but there is no reason
to believe, that, with suitable extra effort, it
may be made more than usually large. To
gain time for this; to secure the advantage OF
commencement of the volume with the open
ing of the year; and to provide such improve
ments as will render the work still more at
tractive and useful than it has yet been:-it is
intended that the first number of the second
volume shall be dated, Jaotstnrg, 1b42. The
date, however, may anticipats ed few weeks,
by the actual pub.icasion-ior the purpose of

ments.
