DR.. ADDISON PHILLEo, OF Lebanon,
ST. Clair county, has constructed, and
put INFO successful operation, the appa-
ralus for manufacturing Pyroiigneous
.Hcid.
We have lately published several tes-
tinonials concerning the valuable pro-
peries of this liquid; and as our citizens
can now avail themselves OF It's benefits,
either by purchase or manufactures II
may be useful to recapilulate some oil
them.
Il is said that one quart Of the acid will
preserve for an indefinite length OF time
without the aid of salt, a barrel OF two
hundred pounds of pork. Salt may be
added at any time, either before or alter
the application of the acid, but it is not
needed for The preservation Of the meat.
l. will be seen, from this, that fanili $
can at all times have a supply of fresh
or sailed meat, or both. The acid gives
the same flavor, as the process oil smoking
in the common way.
It is also said that this acid will restore
meat already tainted, to its original sweet
and sound state.
1t has been stated in the London pa
pers, that, as an experiment, two hams
were dipped in this acid, and without
any other preparation, one was put on
board ship, on voyage to the Indies,
while the other was retained at home.
After lapse of eighteen months, the
vessel returned with the ham, which,
with that kept in the city, was then cook
ed, and both were equally we'll Favored,
having sustained no damage.
I've agains, damage to meat by flies and
worms, in warm weather.
II all these properiie belong TO this
acid, its Introduction ilto the western
country will beof meal advantage,
! md DR.. Phl'eo will! deserve the graft.
.udc of our citizens, for being the first to
erect the works for its manufacture.
The price Of the acid will not exceed
sevenly-Gve cents per gallon. After
providing a common stove, or other
work of brick or stone in its place, the
! cost Of the apparatus for the manufacture,
it is thought, will not exceed Eve dollars.
But OF this, as well as other information
on the subject, we hope the Doctor will
favor the public with commune alton.
Tavo-thirds." III he late election OF
county commissioner has dissipated the
hope of the convenlionis,s, (if they ever
entertained it, of having majority of
" Fifty" votes at the next general election,
N this county. One of them, however,
in the last Republican, offers to " bet"
$500, that there will not be majority Of
two-;hirds against them.
We believe very large portion, and
we hope, all, who are opposed to slave
ny, are also relgiously averse to betting,
or gambling Of any kind. II we are not
mistaken as to the author Of this banter,
ne is the same person, who, in 1920, Of
fered to bet 500 dollars with US, that
Mr.. Cook would not receive a majority
OF 500 votes over Mr.. Kane, in this coun-
jy. Had we accepted his proposal, he
would have lost his money; and we be-
| ieve the case would be the same in the
! present instance.
We had occasion short time since,
10 call the attention Of our readers to
comm unication of some length, from
Citizen Of Illinois," proving, as we
link conclusively, that the people of this
state, even supposing them to be unani-
nous in the desire, have no legal right
to admit the establishment of slavery.-
+" Another Citizen of Illinois" has, in a
subsequent number, solicited calm and
| dispassionate examination OF that article
