[ADVEATISEMENT.]—That the fearful annual mortality of
6^,000 young children and delicate persons of all ages may be
arrested, if. instead of flying blindly to
pills and medicines,
which, though apparently relieving the patient, have in
reality no other tendency than that of increasing debility,
and with it the dangor of
by
life, we were simply to study how
to inc ease the vital force imparting new and
pure blood,
upon which the harmonious development of the whole frame
depends, has been successfully proved by Du Barry's inva-
lids' and Infants' Food, the Revalenta Arabica, and its
thousands of cures annually. It yields three times as mur:h
easily assimilated nourishment as the best meat, and for
children it the best substitute for human mile. Dr.
, phvslcian to the Samaritan Hospital for Women and
Rout!,
children—the best au. hority on such matters —in his admir-
able publication on Food, says—Amongst the vegetable sub-
stances, th .t which comes closest t milk iu its cotnposition
is, without doubt, Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, con-
taining both
omphoric acid in abundance•and chloride of
potassium ; it also includes casein, the B.1,11:10 pzinciple vt hich
is found in milk in its constituent part 4. No wonder, there-
fore, that under its influence mmy children affected with
atrophy (wasting
away of the bedy), and marked deb' i'y
have completely recovered. I have given it with the sreatest
advantage in such cases; and so far as I may judge from my
own experience, practice fully carries out what theory,
from a knowledge of its composition, led us to anticipate.—

yaid were present'in the foundry, the drying room
of which was appropriated for the trial, in which a
quantity of straw, shavings, oakum, &c., had been
placed, and which at 3 o'clock was ignited, the only
aperture (the door) being then closed, so that the
place was soon filled with a dense volume of smoke.
M. Gallibert then produced the apparatus, which
consisted of a canvas bag, fire proof, which he in-
flated with air by a small pair of bellows ; two
gutta-percha tubes were affixed, at the end of which
was a mouthpiece, which fitted to the teeth, the
nostrils being at the same time closed by a
small spring. The bag was then -slung on his
back. Being thus prepared, he entered the
room, the door Closed upon him, and there he
remained 8 minutes and 50 seconds, at the ex-
piration of which time the door was opene'd, and
he came out apparently without the slightest ex-
haustion ; after which one of the police-constables,
John Lacy, No. 157, volunteered to try the experi-
ment, which the Admiral permitted, and, being
fully equipped and instructed by the inventor, he
entered the room, where he remained three minutes,
sufficiently long to test the utility of the apparatus.
One of the labourers followed, and remained six
minutes, and both men stated that they found no
inconvenience while in ; they could breathe as freely
as in the open air, and could have remained any
length of time. Subsequently a ladle was heated,
in which a quantity of sulphur was put, thus ren-
dering the smoke still more dense ; but M. Galli-
bert, after being in six minutes, returned again
without the slightest inconvenience. The ther-
mometer was at 91.

The sailing. ship Superb, 80, attached to the Re-
serve at Chatham, has been removed down the har-
bour for the purpose of being fitted as an additional
hospital ship for the Thames, for the reception of
seamen belonging to the mercantile marine suffering
from cholera. She is to be stationed in the vicinity
of Gravesend, in order that cholera patients may
be removed from their vessels and treated immedi-
ately on their arrival in the river.

The 50-gun sailing frigate Nankin has been towed
into Chatham harbour, by the Adder and Otter
steamers, from the reserve in the Medway, and is
now lying alongside the dockyard, where she is
being fitted by a number of shipwrights and other
hands belonging to the dockyard, as an hospital
ship for Chatham, chiefly_ for the treatment of
cholera patients belonging to the Royal Navy and
Mercantile Marine.

In the Naval and Military Intelligence of yester-
day reference was made to the Bolivar as an iron-
clad steamship, stated to have been recently built
by the Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Com-
pany at Blackwall. We have since learnt she is
an iron steamer, not ironclad, built at Liverpool
from the designs of Messrs. J. and W. Dudgeon,
of Cubitt-town, and engined by that firm at the
Sun Ironworks. The Bolivar has since been pur-
chased by Mr. A. E. Symonds, Adam-street,
Adelphi, for a foreign State, and , converted under
his superintendence and design to an armed trans-
port on his principle of
.the " indented side," by
which means the guns, placed in the indented ports
70ft. from either end, fire at an angle of ten degrees
with the keel so as to cover the landing of troops,
and can be depressed to strike a boat alongside.
