Critical and Social Essays. Reprinted from The New-York "Nation." New York: Leypoldt & Holt. 16mo, pp. 230. (The existence and prosperity of "The Nation" is perhaps the most honorable and hopeful sign in our present American periodical literature. Many of its brief miscellaneous essays are admirable; and a good service is done by bringing some of them together in this volume.)

History of the American Civil War. By John William Draper, M.D., LL.D. In 3 vols. Vol. I., containing the Causes of the War, and the Events preparatory to it, up to the close of President Buchanan's Administration. New York: Harper & Brothers. 8vo, pp. 567. (This history is rather the working out of a thesis respecting the effect of climate and other natural influences on a people's character and life. It is very able; very interesting in its summary of scientific facts; very didactic and positive in tone; ample in its gathering of information; clear and vigorous in its outline of our political history. We hope to find the opportunity of a more full review.)

EFFERVESCENT

SELTZER APERIENT.

This valuable and popular Medicine, prepared in conformity with the analysis of the water of the celebrated Seltzer Spring in Germany, in a most convenient and portable form, has universally received the most favorable recommendations of the medical profession and a discerning public, as the

Most Efficient and Agreeable Saline Aperient

in use, and as being entitled to special preference over the many Mineral Spring Waters, Seidlitz Powders, and other similar articles, both from its compactness and greater efficacy. It may be used with the best effect in all

Bilious and Febrile Diseases;

Sick Headache; Loss of Appetite;

Indigestion, and all Similar Complaints,

Peculiarly incident to the Spring and Summer Seasons.

It is particularly adapted to the wants of Travellers by sea and land, Residents in Hot Climates, Persons of Sedentary Habits, Invalids, and Convalescents.

With those who have used it, it has high favor, and is deemed indispensable.

In a Torpid State of the Liver, it renders great service in restoring healthy action. In Gout and Rheumatism, it gives the best satisfaction, allaying all inflammatory symptoms, and in many cases effectually curing those afflicted.

Its Success in Cases of Gravel, Indigestion, Heartburn, and Costiveness, proves it to be a Medicine of the greatest utility.

Acidity of the Stomach, and the Distressing Sickness so usual during Pregnancy, yields speedily, and with marked success, under its healthful influence.

It affords the Greatest Relief to those afflicted with, or subject to, the Piles, acting gently on the bowels, neutralizing all irritating secretions, and thereby removing all inflammatory tendencies.

In fact, it is invaluable in all cases where a gentle Aperient is required.

It is in the form of a powder, carefully put up in bottles, to keep in any climate; and merely requires water poured upon it, to produce a delightful effervescent bever

age.

Taken in the morning, it never interferes with the avocations of the day, acting gently on the system, restoring the digestive powers, exciting a healthy and vigorous tone of the stomach, and creating an elasticity of mind and flow of spirits which give zest to every enjoyment. It also enables the invalid to enjoy many luxuries with impunity, from which he must otherwise be debarred, and without which life is irksome and distressing.

Numerous testimonials from professional and other gentlemen of the highest standing throughout the country, and its steadily increasing popularity for a series of years, strongly guarantee its efficacy and valuable character, and commend it to the favorable notice of an intelligent public.
