A NEW SERIES of the AGRICULTURAL MAGAZINE, a Monthly Publication, devoted to Farmers and Rural 'Affairs.

"He that causes two blades of grass to grow where only one grew before, is so far a creator."-SWIFT.

TO THE PUBLIC.

On the commencement of a New Series of our Publication, we beg leave to pay our respectful and thankful acknowledgments to the Public, by whose countenance and support, the Agricultural Magazine has, during some years, maintained an extensive circulation. Assured that our subject, Agriculture, ever of the first consequence to mankind, is, at this period of overflowing population, enhanced in an extraordinary degree, we cannot for a moment doubt a continuance of the public favour, whilst exerting ourselves for the promotion of its first and greatest interest. To our past volumes, we boldly appeal for what we have already achieved in this indispensable science; and with equal confidence we engage to persevere, until no branch or relative object, even the most minute, shall be left untouched, and until our work shall be a complete repository of whatever concerns the culture of the earth in its various modes, the different implements in use, and choice, breeding, food and management of those domestic animals of such essential service to

where Communications to the Editor are received, without regard to Postage; and may be had by Application to any Bookseller in the United Kingdom.

AGRICULTURAL MAGAZINE. FIRST

SERIES, COMPLETE.

We have now completed the first Series of this Rural Miscellany, consisting of Fourteen handsome Octavo Volumes, Price Ios. 6d. each, or 1s. 6d. per Number; and it will be found by consulting its pages, that we have had one uniform object constantly in our view, viz. to digest the improvement of Agriculture into the form of a didactic science; so that it may no longer depend upon uncertain experiment, but that it may repose on the solid basis of established truth.

With this design, we have submitted to the attention of our readers, some of the most valuable expedients in Farming, that have been resorted to in the different counties of the kingdom; where the broad maxims of scientific Agriculture are most correctly understood, and most successfully practised. We have not contented our selves with such illustrations, however valuable, from provincial ingenuity. Of late years, the art of Chemistry has been with much felicity applied to assist in the laborious duties of the field, and in the analysis of the species of manure best calculated to produce fecundity, has essentially contributed to the improvement of the country, and to the increase of the national produce. The facilities with which this art has provided us, we have endeavoured to explain with that clearness, which alone can render it extensively applicable to the ordi. nary concerns of life; affairs of real business are submitted to obvious rules, which the simplest minds can comprehend, and to which the plainest habits are adapted. If all that is material for the information of the Farmer be not disclosed with perspicuity; if the most important articles be not represented under different views, and revived under different relations, so as to exhibit them obviously and palpably to every man of common sense, and of common understanding, the Conductors will have been

completely disappointed of the object they proposed to attain.

It must be confessed, that although the English Farmers understand the practice of Agriculture more correctly, and enjoy its fruits more abundantly, than any other labourers in the harvest throughout the world; yet a large share of improvement has been the result of an accurate and jealous observation of the practice of other countries. We have therefore occasionally extracted, from the works of foreign writers, examples of useful and successful experiment; in order that we might transplant from other states, whatever might conduce to the benefit and aggrandizement of our own, within the scope of this Publication.

Exclusive of what we have already stated, the Work contains a Critical Catalogue, or Review of new Publications on the Subject of Agriculture; Reports of Economic Societies; remarkable Discoveries in Manufactures and the useful Arts; Tables, shew. ing the Variation in the Prices of Hay, Straw, Corn, Coals, and of the most important articles of subsistence. The whole, we trust, comprising a body of information, interesting to every person engaged in the ordinary duties and intercourse of life.

The first Numbers of this Series having been lately reprinted, complete Sets may now be had by giving orders to any Bookseller or Newsman, in town or country.

Chamberlaine on Stizolobium, or
Cowhage.

For Families. Just published, Price 38. A PRACTICAL TREATISE on the SUPERIOR EFFICACY and SAFETY of STIZOLOBIUM, or COWHAGE (the Dolichos Pruriens of Linnæus), internally administered in Diseases occasioned by intestinal Worms; wherein are exhibited a concise Statement of the Symptonis of the Disease, and the Uncertainty of most other Vermifuges now in Use. To which are added, Observations on some other indigenous Anthelmintics of the West Indies. Illustrated by a Variety of Cases, never before published in any of the former Editions. By WILLIAM CHAMBERLAINE, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, London; Fellow of the London Medical Society; Member of the Medical Council of the Royal Jennerian Society, &c. Ninth Edition, considerably enlarged and improved.

In Chapter V. of this Work are given Extracts of Letters and Testimonials from several most respectable medical Characters in favour of the Use of the Cowhage, and in Approbation of the Author's Practice;

among whom are-Drs. Bancroft, De Va. langin, Lettsom, Sims, Squires, Thornton, Underwood, Woodville, Willan, &c.

London: Printed for the Author, 29, Aylesbury Street, Clerkenwell: and sold by Darton and Harvey, Gracechurch Street; Highley, Fleet Street; Tabart and Co. New Bond Street; and Symonds, Paternoster Row.

CHARACTER OF THIS WORK.

"When it is considered, that this valuable work, upon one of the most important subjects that can engage the investigation and pen of the medical practitioner, has undergone a ninth edition; it will be ad mitted, that the public has not been in attentive to its merits. The object of this able little treatise is, to recommend the use of Cowhage, or Cowitch (the delic pruriens of Linnæus), as a powerful and safe vermifuge. The ingenious writer has com pressed a great deal of highly valuable matter into a small compass; and we should not be doing our duty, were we not strongly to recommend it to the further notice of the public."- Monthly Mirror for January 1805, page 41.

"Whoever contributes to the diminution of human misery, is deservedly reckoned among the benefactors of mankind. The promulgation made by the author, of the efficacy of the dolichos pruriens, in removing one of the common, and often most dange ous diseases, especially of infancy and poverty, appears to be a well-established fact. Medicine must have the test of experience. The very respectable attestations of this simple, from medical men of the first eminence, stamp confidence on the Cowhage, or Cowitch, in vermicular co plaints. A ninth edition of the pamphlet shows that it has engaged very general attention, as indeed it deserves, if this plant be found alike efficacious in destroying al the various kinds of worms which breed in the human body. We very earnestly re commend the use of this medicine, so inno cent, so easily taken, and apparently s efficacious, and we cordially thank Mr. Chamberlaine for making it thus universally known, and not concealing it as a nostrum.” -Eclectic Review for May 1805, page 360 i

"This is a small tract, but of sufficient ! importance in society to deserve notice. The health of an interesting portion of every generation is concerned in the well under standing and judicious treatment of t disease, so common to children. We hav besides, lately heard of the fatal effects a worm medicine, too generally and to indiscriminately given. ****• Caloriel, as

other preparations of mercury, are generally had recourse to; and such powerful medi cines more frequently do harm than good.

"In describing the symptoms of worms, Mr. C. deserves to be well attended to; for, as there is no pathognomic sign of them E(seeing them, or parts of them, is alone a certainty), those diagnostics most strongly denoting their presence must be attended to. In fact, there is not a symptom, indicative of worms, which may not be experienced by other disorders; and this the writer, with proper candour, acknowledges himself.

"Under this uncertainty then, what can we do better, than prescribe the vermifuge medicine, which, if our conjectures are right, will remove the disease? and, if we are not mistaken, will neither aggravate the ill, nor expose the sufferer to new maladies and dangers. Under this view of the case, we can safely refer the afflicted, or their friends, to the perusal of the work before us, and the anthelmintic course it points out."Universal Magazine for May 1805, page 447.

"The present edition of this useful publication contains a more ample description of intestinal worms, with their symptoms and causes, than was given in the former impressions. The author's high opinion of the efficacy of the Stizolobium in the removal of worms, is confirmed by the testimonials of various respectable practitioners, and by several cases which came under his observation, or that of his correspondents, and which are inserted in his book. He appears to be candid and judicious; and it is fair to him to add, that he prefers a selection from the very numerous cases which have been communicated to him, displaying the good effects derived from Cowhage within the last twenty years, to any thing like indiscriminate publication."-Monthly Review for June 1805, page 220.

COWHAGE.

Mr. CHAMBERLAINE is happy in having succeeded in his endeavours to bring into some degree of repute, so valuable a medicine as the Stizolobium, or Cowhage (the dolichos pruriens of Linnæus), which, as à Vermifuge, has been found superior to most other remedies hitherto known, both with respect to innocence and efficacy. Its utility in every species of worm case, and particularly in the removal of those troublesome, and oftentimes grievous symptoms caused by Ascarides, is evinced, and its character, since the first publication of his Treatise on this subject, fully established, by the sanction of several eminent physicians, and other respectable medical characters, in and about the metropolis, who have prescribed it with the happiest effect. And it has this farther advantage over most, or all

other powerful medicines, namely, that should the patient's case even be mistaken, and no worms exist, it cannot do any harm; at least, no instance of its having proved prejudicial has ever come to Mr. Chamberlaine's knowledge. In that species of Ophthalmia which is caused by worms, it has proved eminently successful, by effectually removing the cause of the complaint. Several very interesting accounts of its success, in a very great variety of cases, have been received from different parts of England, from Ireland, the West Indies, Algiers, and other places.

Mr. Chamberlaine makes no secret of any of his preparations-therefore they are not to be considered as nostrums, or proprietary medicines. The method of preparing the Cowhage for use, is laid down in the Treatise above mentioned; and any inquirer is welcome to the fullest informa tion on the subject.

Notwithstanding, however, that the way is made known to every person how to prepare it, the intolerable torment attending the handling of the Cowhage may probably be the reason why few Druggists or Apothe caries choose to meddle with it. This circumstance the chance of meeting with a spurious sort (see page 67 of the Treatise), and Mr. Chainberlaine's being enabled to obtain annually a fresh supply of that which is genuine, and in high perfection, from his brother in Jamaica, at a much cheaper rate than other people could do, seem to confine the sale of it, in a great measure, to himself.

are

Therefore, in order to afford those who desirous of proving its efficacy, an opportunity of giving it a fair trial, and that it may become more generally useful, by being sold at a price that may bring it within the reach of every one; the public are hereby informed, that Mr. Chamberlaine dispenses the Cowhage, prepared in the usual forms, at his house, No. Aylesbury Street, Clerkenwell, as underneath:
