This water is inferior TO none In the State, as II
holds in solution suphureted hydrogen, iodine, and
magnesia, mparting tone TO the system, and acting
powerful Alternative, as numerous vlslters can
testify having been visited for the last fifty years,
and had il not been for its contracted accommoda-
tons, must have been among the first watering
places in the Union. For the last five years, the
improvements have been increased so as TO accom-
modate between two and three hundred visitors.
The proprietor has endeavored to put this water
ing place on footing with the most fashionable and
comfortable places Of the Sort in plain style and
will use every exerton in his power to make his

PROSPECTUS OF THE NEW LIBRARY
II OF LAW AND Equity, under the dircc-
tion of Francis ]. Troubat esq; of Philadelphia;
Hon. Ellis Lewis, of Lancaster; and Wilson Nc
Candlcss, esq, Of Pittsburgh.
This work contains the best productions Of Eng
lsh law authors, without regard to priority Of claim
ON the part Of any American publisher. Such books
are now VIGOROUSLY TOO dear. The reason is, that
ms fast as they appear, they become monopolies in
the hands Of booksellers in the Atlantic cities. I'm
der the plea Of right, acquired by the addition Of
notes Of American DECISIONS the latter claim an UNI
divided title to those works, and set burdcnsome
price on them The publishers of the work now
offered TO the profession throughout the Union, will
not respect such ,es but will reprint the standard
British law books as fast as they emanate from the
London market. Should new editions Of the works
Of such writers as Snrke, the Chittys, stephen,
and Archbold, appear, they shall also be included;
and dgesis Of equity and law decsions-works
which have been studiousy kept out OF the Law
Library published at Philadelphia--shall have
place in the proposed new one, together with every
new valuable English treatise on chancery or COM
mon law.
Ir This work will be issued monthly, in num-
bers Of 1G0 pages, printed on fine white paper, snd
good new long primer type, at seven dollars per an
