Raising Blood and COnsumpt'On.-Mr.M Milne,
builder, in Brooklyn, was attacked with raising
blood, followed by a cough, pain in the side, and
all the usual symptoms of consumption. He en-
pIoyed two of the best physicians they did him
no good and told him he could not live. Hearing
of the wonderful cures performed by Sherman's
Basam, he sent at 10 O'Clock at night, to Mrs.
Hayes, l39 Fulton street, and got bottle it op
Grated like charm, stopped the bleeding and
cough Before he had taken one bottle he was
able to be about his work. 1t had saved his life.
His daughter, residing at 1877 Myrtle Avenue, can
attest it.
Miss Ann Maston, of WILLIAMSBURG, living in
Tenth. near South Fourth street, says-Thar she
had been troubled with hacking cough, and pain
in the chest, for long time which at last became
so bad that she obliged to give up her school
for more than year. She then commenced Ia
king the All-Healing Balsam--whIch soon alIevi-
ated her symptoms. She is now fast recovering
and has resumed her laborious occupation as a
teacher.
IA years Mr.. John O'Neil. 10th avenue and Isl
street, suffered with cough, raising of phIegm
and pain in his side. He could get no relief til!
he tried the All-Healing BaIsam, which drove the
pain from his side, aayed the cough, and brought
the disease upon the surface; and before he had
taken three bottles, was entirely cured.
Pleurisy and ConsumptiOn-Mrs. Baggas, a
lady upwards of 70, residing SO Sheriff, has fol
years been subject to attacks of Pleurisy, Raising
of Blood. severe Cough, Shortness of Breath, Pain
in her Head and various parts of her body. HeI
friends believed her past recovery. The AIl-Heal

The head of the boiler was thrown some dis.

the neighborhood, fell into Chapel ST., dis

the boiler itself, near twenty-five feet in length,
and weighing about two tons, however, took

explosion, but we understand the proprietor
has already commenced clearing away the
fragments, preparatory to placing another boil
