German Vegetable Cattle Powder. 



This valuable powder, prepared and sold by the 

 subscribers, has been in use for many years, and is 

 highly esteemed by the fanners of Lancaster County 

 as a preparation upon whirh full reliance can be 

 planed, for the cure of those diseases to which cattle, 

 sheep and swine are subject. 



Farmers, drovers, and all who keep cattle, will find 

 this a superior Powder, and none should be without it 

 it purifies their blood, removes all gross humours, re 

 stores lost appetite, and when cattle are oppressed by 

 heat, fatigue, or from other causes, a few doses will 

 generally restore them to health again ; and it is confi 

 dently recommended as a certain and sure cure, for 

 that dangerous and often fatal disease, the horn-ail. 

 By its salutary influence upon their system, it greatly 

 improves the general appearance and condition of cat 

 tie, sheep and swine, and increases the quantity of 

 milk in cows.

The Biblical Cabinet. 



James M. Campbell &. Co., No. P8, Chesnut Street, 

 propose to publish a periodical under the above title 

 to contain valuable and costly treatises on theological 

 subjects, which are now — owing to their very high 

 price— beyond the reach of any but the wealthy. It 

 will be their endeavour to give no works but those 

 of the highest character, and such as shall be free 

 from the charge of Protestant sectarianism. 



The first book will be Neandcr's History of the 

 Christian Religion, during the first three centuries; — 

 translated from the German, by Henry John Hose, 15.1) 

 This work has never been republished in the United 

 States, and is very scarce. It will be completed in 

 about five numbers; at twenty- five cents each. For 

 the pleasure of looking over the first two numbers, we 

 are indebted to the courtesy of the publishers. They 

 contain 96 pages each, and are neatly executed. They 

 may be obtained at 98 Chesnut street, or at this office.
