Black Currant IVini:. 



Jii5t received at J. B. Ra^ell's Seed Store, Nos. 51 Sf 

 52 Noitli M.uliet Street, Boston— 



A I'lirther supply of superior old Black Cunatit Wine, 

 made under llie inspection of John Prince, E>q. Roxlui- 

 ry ; an ;iccounl of its astringent and detergent proper- 

 lies in various complaints, will be found in the N. E. 

 Farmer, vol 5, pa^e 267, written by S. W. Pomeroy, 

 Esq. and tlie late Doct. J. G. Coffin. It is Iiighly salu- 

 tary iji many su'inner cumplaints. Doct. Coffin states : 

 • Its use has been attended with remarUable success in 

 tlie early stages of cholera morbus, and dysentery — and 

 again also in the later stages of these disease-:, after the 

 symptoms of inllainmation or febrile excitement had 

 ceased. It has been strikingly remedial in tlie lowstates 

 of typhoid and bilious fever. The late Capt. Gilchrist, 

 who for several years lollowed the Batavia trade, and 

 who had alw.iys sullered an attack of the severe cholera 

 which proves so destructive of human Hie in that climate, 

 used to say tliat after he had this wine with him, and 

 look two glassas of it every morning, lie escaped the 

 disease. On one voyage, his mate, h ho bad not taken 

 the wine, was seized with this complaint, when a bottle 

 or two stopped its progress. We have not room to enu- 

 merate m.iny other morbid affections in which this wine 

 has proved useful. In sore throat it has for n.any years 

 been considered almost a specific remedy.— Price 75 cts. 

 per bottle. Aug. 3.

Zinc Milk Pans. 



For sale at the Agricultural Warehouse — Weslfield's 

 patent Zinc Milk Pans. A particular account of this 

 gr^i.it iniprovement in dairying will be found in the New 

 England Farmer for July 6, 1831, page 405, and many 

 o'her journals. Milk in these pans will keep sweet 

 longer than in those of other materials, and thus conse- 

 quently afford a longer lime for the cream to rise, and 

 pioduce one sixth more butter, as has been proved, 

 of the sweetest quality. The pans aie very durable, and 

 not likely to rust.

Auff. 3. CHARLES BISHOP. 



30 Dollars Rciuard. 



The above reward will be paid by the Subscriber for 

 the detection and conviction of the vile wretch or 

 wretches who have been base enough to break down a 

 large number of young rock maple Trees, set out on the 

 road adjoining his Farm, leading from Dcdiiam turn- 

 pike to Brushhill turnpike, for the purpose of shade and 

 ornament. As the vile wretch who could be guilty of 

 such a crime is dangerous to the community, it is hoped 

 that the citizens of Roxbury and Dorchester will be vigi- 

 lant in endeavoring to detect him, in oider that he may 

 be brought to public justice. JEREMIAH HILL

Medical School in Boston. 

 The Medical Lectures of Harvard University deliver- 

 ed in Boston will be commenced in the Autumn, at the 

 usual period, viz. on the third Wednesday in October. 

 They will be continued four months. 



This extension in the term of the Lectures has been 

 thought necessary to afford time for such a course of in- 

 struction and demonstration, as is deemed by ihe Faculty 

 to be requisite, under the advantages which have recent- 

 ly accrued to the School. 



The Legislature of Massachusetts, with an enlighten- 

 ed liberality, which does honor to our age and country, 

 have extended the protection of law to the cultivation of 

 Anatomy within this Commonwealth. The advantages 

 which will hence result to students resorting to this 

 school will be sufficiently obvious. It will be the aim of 

 the Professors to carry into effect the intentions of the 

 Legislature, in such a manner as to evince at the same 

 time their respect for the rights of humanity, and their 

 interest in the promotion of the healing art. 



The opportunities for practical instruction at the Mas- 

 sachusetts General Hospital continue undiminished. 

 The course of Lectures will be — 

 On Anatomy and Surgery, by Dr Warren. 

 " Chemistry, by Dr Webster. 

 " .Materia Medica, by Dr Bigelow. 

 " Obstetrics and Medical Jurisprudence, by DrChan- 



ning. 

 " Theory and Practce of Physic and on Clinical Me- 

 dicine, by Dr Jackson.
