RAISING WATER discovered by the FOUN-
TAIN pumrs, which roll the water upwards, without
either friction or faltering, therefore can never be surpassed ; conse-
t fluently this Is the most important discovery ever made for the pre-
servation of life and property either at Sea or on Land.
AT SEA
anmerons ships it has already saved, and the captains gratefallyhaci-
knowledge the glorious results. Two testimonial extracts
l
*Mee
Captain Greg, from Quebec to London, states that the Fountain
Pump being fitted in the Caroline, its great power was the means of
saving the ship and 230 souls on board, two seams in the bottom
being partly left without calking."
" The Argus brig, from Cadiz, sprung a leak when three days out
at sea, and soon after her common pump choaked and became use-
less. Captain Rutherford states all then depended upon her FOLDS-
lain Pimp, which for nineteen days and eighteen nights was in ac-
tion without a minute's respite, when all arrived safely in London,
With a thank God fur the Fountain Pump."
ON LAND
the New Portable Fire-engines aro of Infinitely better service than a
lire brigade. They act instantaneously at the outbreak of a fire.
" We are delighted with the invention—it is a great boon to so-
elety."—Editors Liverpool Mail.
The New Portittee Fire-engines have preserved a large portion of
Norwich trent destruction, fur out of eighteen different properties on
lire in and near the city, they saved eleven solely and seven mainly,
• including in the seven the Queen's Cavalry Barracks; and in the
eleven, Messrs. Itor'oa's dyer'', and 12,0001. worth of consigned pro-
perty; Stoke mustard, starch, aid flour mills, mid Messrs. Butchei's
grocery warehouses, just in time to prevent a large quantity of gun-
powder therein from exploding, which must have spread around de-
struction and death.
" North Walsham.—At this fire the Portable Engine was of great
serv'ce, and by having one of then. ready, there is no doubt but half
the property- now destroyed might have been saved."—Norfolk Ciao-
nide, August 22, 1346.
At a Norwich fire June 2, 11347, the two Portable Engines were
the pets of the public. The cry was, feel the little engines and they
' will eo the is ork, which proved true. The four large engines present
pl)ved useless.
Portable Engines speedily prove steam-boilers to a dozen atmo-
Iplynes.
Now the fact is this, all former Force Pumps, Lift-force Pumps,
Lift Pumps, and Chain Pumps are bad machines: they rub, grub, and
scrape the water upwards by friction, which wastes two-fifths of the
power used, and progressively Miter by leakage, which Drs. Your,;
and Hutton, with many other eminent experimenters, lamented
thus :—The quantity of water actually raised by any machine seldom
exceeifs half the power consumed, after overcoming friction and
leakage ; and notivi.listanelng the best enginee-s in the world had
tried in vain for two thousand years to abate these palpable defects
in hydraulic machines, nevertheless, at last the victory is won, and
won for ever ; for friction and leakage are now both annihilated by
the new roiling principle in pumps, and their effect augmented from
twelve to twenty (or about seventy per cent.), and frequently with-
. out more outlay.
Most men can sustain heavy rapid pump trials for 40 seconds, but
some men drop at minute time. With a best new heavy working Fric-
tion Pump an ac,ive sound-winded young man of 140 lbs. weight can
raise 10,000 lbs. of water one foot high in a minute, and with a Foun-
tain Pump 9,000 lbs. in half a minute. Thus a continual and most
extraordinary lucrative advantage Is gained over perpetual and uni-
versal ignorance, clearly proving that Knowledge is Power.
John Clenton Roberts, Eng., in his popular work, No. 1,110, did
Well in placing Gusset's French Pump Abortion (that slaps the water
; ltpward) side by side with the Fountain Pump, which upset a good
deal of Folly. Because Mr. Mallett, Daulin, a thorough-bred pump-
Maker, Mr. Baddley, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr.
Ewbank, America, an ignorant pump book-maker, assorted that the
two pumps were identical. But the Yankee out-iooled John Bull
and Paddy in No. 1.183, and in No. 496, Book-maker Millingtoa's
remarks are preposterous. However, on the other hand, Dr. Birk-
beck, Aberdour, Bay, Parkington, with many other discerning men,
after witnessing the perfect cheat and the beautiful simplicity of the
rolling principle, gave the invention the following true and sustain.
able character:—The Fountain Pump is the most important improve-
ment in the art of raising winter that has appeared within the last two
f. thousand years—the greatest advancement in the useful arts in
Modern times.
The Consummation Fountain Pumps are successfully carried out
for private and public uses, at lifts below and above 100 feet altitude,
for man, horse, and steam power; delivering from half a pint per
stroke to 100 barrels of water per minute, and rendering every fair
trial at competition ridiculous, whilst their durability is guaranteed
• At less cost than common pumps,

The object of this Association is totally to abolish the Use of
climbing boys, who, notwithstanding the penalties to which those
emPloying them are subjectrA by the 3d and 4th Victoria, cap. Rs,are continually resorted to. This breach of the law is acquiesced. in
by a large Portion of the public, from a conviction of the utter im -
Possibility in innumerable cases of cleansing a chimney or flue with
the Old machine. For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects
of the i:l19 by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge-
'l°B4 and effective ltamoneur machine has been invented. This
invention consists of four brushes forming a square head, which
g.
means of elastic springs contracts or expands, according to
the small or extended space in which the machine moves, thereby
creating an
even pressure on all four sides of a chimney. The
rods attached to this head or brush are supplied at intervals with
universal spring joints, capable of turning even a righ', angle

and the whole is surmounted with a double revolving ba',l, keying

by the fact, that It is exclusively used in the Government and

tracts to the patentees evidences their sense, of its superiority, as well

In In early life or from the follies of advanced age, while sufferin
from their invariable consequesces, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread 80
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, lava-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by his posse ?lion of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-

LA'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
