 Under the dreclion of llie Sociplv fur the Diffusion of Useful 

 Knowlcllse. 

 Kow publishing by Lilly & W.vit, (late Wells & 

 Lilly. > rear of Boylston inarket, and by Carter, Hen- 

 dee ic Babcock, Washington street, Boston. 

 The parts of this interesting work which treat upon 



Clmber Trees, and on Fruits, give much useful and cu- 

 ious information on these subjects, — and are valuable to 

 hs farmer not only for the facts, that are collected with 

 •eat research and judgment, but for the interesting 

 lanner in which they sre combined and narrated — lead- 

 ing the old and the young to regard their daily occupa- 

 ion, not alone as a laborious means of gaining a liveli- 

 lood, but as ari amusement, and a science. 



The parts upon Insect .Architecture and Transformation 

 vill prove unusually interesting.— Interesting to all ; but 

 the Agriculturist particularly useful, in enabling him 

 understand the origin and the character of such in- 

 ects as may be made subservient to the uses of man, as 

 rell as of that numerous tribe that olten blight the es- 

 octed harvest, and nip his promised fruits in the green 

 "ee and in the bud. 



There is scarcely a subject already treated upon, or 

 lat has been announced in this beautiful series, that is 

 ot calculated to prove interesting to the farmer. Not 

 le fanner alone, but the mechanic, and the scholaf, will 

 *nd it in the highest degree useful and interesting. It is 



treasure to the man ot science, without proving a 

 umbling-block to the unlearned. 



Each part contains more than 200 pages, and nume- 

 )us engravings on wood, beautifully executed.— Price 

 nty cents a part, and continued on the s?me terms. 



Societies for the diffusion of useful knowledge, schools 

 ad seminaries, supplied on the most favorable terms. 



[^Twelve numbers of the .\nierican edition are now 

 ablisbed, and several others which are equally beauli- 

 [1 and interesting, now in press, and will appear in 

 leedy succession. May 2.>. 



The public are respectfully informed that sundry per- 

 •ns, lost to a ser.se of honor and regardless of the lives 

 the community, have olTered and do continue to offer 

 r sale an article purporting to be ' Dr Moore's E-^sence 



Life,' but which does not even approach an imitation 

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

 ion of diseases and certificates as Ibrmcr bills enclosing 

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

 he individual against whom I would most particularly 

 lanl the public, is Benjamin F. Simpson, of Chester, N. 

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

 oston the spurious article — to some individuals he has 

 ven his own name, to others be has c.illed his name 

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

 fixed the signature ol Ebenezer G. Moove — to his bill 



sale to another person he represented himself as my 

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

 acture and vend ' Moore's Essence ol Life.' I should 

 it have noticed Mr Simpson if certain deale s in Rledi- 

 ne were not in the habit of receiving from him and 

 Iming upon country traders the spurious article — whe- 

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



the genuine IMoore's Essence, and thereby introduce 

 tides of their own composition, I know not — this much 

 do know, the reputaiion of ' Dr Moore's Essence of 

 ife ' is too firmly established to be overthrown by the 

 Dcentrated efforts of spurious dealers. I have long 

 lOwn of the circulation of the pretended imitation, and 

 ive suffered it to p.iss unnoticed, but the duty I owe the 

 iblie, my aged father, and myself, requires this cxposi-

Or HulPs Patent Truss. 



Dr Hull, Sir — Under the advice and direction of 

 Dr Kn.app, I have been cured within the year past of a 

 bad ruiJ.'ure of 9 years' standing, by the use ol one of 

 your patent trusses. I had worn various kinds of trusses 

 before I got one of yours, but they were very burden- 

 some to me. Your truss, on the contrary, is comfortable 

 to wear, and as convenient to put off and on as a pair of 

 spectacles. I wore it not to exceed five months, and 

 found mvself curei. I have not had it on for six months 

 past, and have exerted myself violently at wrestling, 

 jumping, riding, and other hard exercises without any 

 return of the complaint, not even a feeling of weakness 

 in the part. In fine, your truss has made me as sound 

 and well as ever I was; it is one of the most valuable 

 inventions in the woHd. H. N. FISHBURN.
