! NJ, Principal Of Pleasant tliii Academy:
Another new series Of School Readers!
Truly, Of making Of Books there is no
end When | received the series of
| School Readers by Sanders, my impress
sion was, that there was no demand for
any further addition to the many already
in use. And under this impression |
took up this series, and, after a critical
! examination, | am constrained TO say
that it was entirely removed. unhesi-
ta,ingly give this series of books my
decided preference, and as the best evd-
ence of my regard, have introduced it,
together with Sanders SpelIer, into my
institution.
Some of the points among the many
that might be mentioned that prefer its
claims to superiority are: /. It is more
regularly progressive in lis character,
and, consequently better adapted TO the
mind in It's various stages Of advance
ment-an element OF the first importance
in a series of school books. 2. The
contents, embracing selections Of high
literary character. and decided moral
tendency, from 4 great variety Of an
thors, principally American, are more
deeply interesting TO the young thar
those Of most readers. 3. The lesson
on the elementary principles Of our Ian
guagc and the few plain rules and ex
D ercises for reading correctly as we'll a
rhetoricalIy, preixed to the 4th Reader
are of great utility. -
The Speler is in no respect inlerio
to the Readers, and upon- tie whoe
+ would recommend this as the best serie
f among the many that has come unde

mends itself for its neatness and simplicity,
and is usually regarded as a luxury by those
who are subjected to it.
EFFECTS OF THE BATHs.-They exert a
benign action upon persons of a thin, ner-
vous or bilious habit; also upon those of a
scrofulous temperament, with languid circu-
lation, cold eXtremities, and the skin dry and
husky. Under such circumstances the BEN
eficial results of the fumigations, in the dis
eases already mentioned, may be calculated
upon with little fear of disappointment; and
like all other remedies, should be kept from
the hands of quackery and ignorant pretend
ers with as much care as we would rescue
pearls from the tramplings of swine. The
immediate sensations produced are those of
increased vigor and elasticity of body and
cheerfulness of mind. The more lasting i'm
those of a tonic. The appetite is sharpened,
gans are rendered more energetic in their
various labors upon "the plastic elements of
nutrition" and the patient is quite sure to
gain flesh. Nearly two thousand of these
baths have been administered within the last
two years at DR.. Durkee's private hospital
in this city. He states that it is his practice
to ascertain the weight ofthe patient at the
time of commencing and finishing a series of
the baths, and the result in regard to the in
crease of weight is as stated above in fifteen
cases out of twenty, which affords ample de-
monstration of their healthy influence upon
the constitution. If taken but a few times
