TO HYPOCHONDRIACS. 



To lie iihYajscDiisidi-riiii; ' \vli;it we should out, 

 and what wt: shoidJ diiidv, and whi'ii-wilhal wo 

 shouh! ho chjthed,' in orih'i' to avoid the approach 

 of disease, is tlie most hkuly iiie.iiis to provoke its 

 attack. .\ iiinii who is coiitimially feeling liis 

 pulse is never likely to have a good one. If he 

 swallow his food ftoni the same motive as he does 

 his physic, it will neither he enjoyed nor digested 

 so well, as if he ate it in ohediencc to the dictates 

 of an iniealculating appetite. 



The Iiypochondri.ic who is in thchahit of wei;;Ii- 



g liis meals, will generally find that they lie 

 licavy on his siomach. If he take a walk or ride 

 ■with MO other view than to pick up health, he will 

 seldom mill wiili it on the road. 



Nothinj,' surely can he more idle and absiM'd, 

 than to waste the whole of our heingin endeavors 

 to preserve it, to nef;lect the purposes, in order to 

 protract the period of our existence.

Cow Cabbage. 

 Ju't received, at the Seed Store, No. 52 North Market 

 street, from London a small quantity of Seed of the Cow 

 Cahhaso ; it is thought that no plant cultivated in this 

 country will give so much fodiler from the same space of 

 grounii, for Milch Cows, as this. It has been suceesshilly 

 cultivated lo a large extent in New England and the Mid- 

 dle States the past year, and promises to be a great acqui- 

 sition. Feb. 16.

 ness and rapidity. It is the same for which I received 

 the premium of the Massachusetts Agricultural Society, 

 and lias been a considerable time in use.

To the Farmer, as well as to the Naturalist, and all 

 who lore lo search into the myslerious and beautiful op- 

 erations of nature, the volumes upon Insect Architecture

 Interesting lo all, but to the agriculturalist particularly 

 useful, in enabling him lo understand the origin and the 

 charact>'r ot those numerous insects that blight the ex- 

 pected harvest, and nip his promised fruits in the green 

 tree and in the hud. Teaching him where such ravages 

 may be provided against, and where they must be sub- 

 milled lo, as the unavoidable dispensations of Providence.'

A ndover, Jan. 15, 1831. 6t Jan. 21. 



The public are respectfully informed that sundry per- 

 sons, lost to a sense of honor and regardless of the lives 

 of the community, have offered and do continue to offer 

 for sale an article purporting to be ' Dr Moore's Essence 

 of Life,' but which does not even approach an imitation 

 —the bills of Directions have the same caption — enumer- 

 ation of diseases and certificates as former bills enclosing 

 the genuine article, but the list of agents is not the same. 

 The individual against whom I would most particularly 

 cuar 1 the public, is Benjamin F. Simpson, of Chester, N. 

 H. -This man has sold to sundry persons in the city of 

 Boston the spurious article — lo some individuals he has 

 given his own name, lo others he has called his name 

 lyioore — to one person he sold a parcel of his article, and 

 affixed the signature of Ebenezer G. Moot e — to his bill 

 of sale to another person he represented himself as my 

 brother, and claimed an equal right with myself to man- 

 ufac'ure and vend 'Moore's Essence of Life.' I should 

 not have noticed Mr Simpson if ccrtaiii deale s in Medi- 

 cine were not in the habit of receiving from liim and 

 palming upon country traders the spurious article — whe- 

 ther their object is gain, or a wish to injure the reputation 

 of the genuine Moore's Essence, and thereby introduce 

 arliclesof their own composition, I know not — this much 

 I do know, the reputation of ' Dr Moore's Essence of 

 Life ' is too firmly established to be overlhrown by the 

 concentrated efforts of spurious dealers. I have long 

 known of the circulation of the pretended imitation, and 

 have suffered it lo pass unnoticed, hut the duty I owe the 

 public, my aged father, and myself, requires this exposi- 

 tion. JOHN S. MOORE.
