THE EXPLOSION IN HAGUE STREET,

TO certify that my son, Francis Edward Hyde, %
Pearl street, Brooklyn was employed by 81. John,
Burr & Co., hat body manufacturers, Hague st.,
and a, work on the floor Immediately above and
over the boiler when the explosion took place on
! Feb. 4th last, hy which dreadful catastrophe so
many persons l"st their livcs. The explosion car
red the boiler through the floor where he was en-
ployed and himself with il to the second story,
WHEN all VS. precipitated down, and he was bu-
ricd in the ruins amid a mass OF fire, steam, hot
bricks, and bu, ming Goals. In this dreadful siiua.
ton he lay nsensIbe, for (as he thinks) near ~
minutes. When consciousness returned, he dis
covered light over hiA head, and by strenuous ci-
forts To free his arms, he dreadiuy lacerated them.
Flom this perilous situation he was eNticated
! about o l-2 o'clock, having been under the runs
| 2 hours. lie was carried to the Hospital and
! thence removed to his home in Brooklyn at l2 NJ,
! of that day. The application of l. me water and
! winseed Oil having been made at the Hospital,
has continued for the space of two days but with
out aifordlng any relief. His case was considered
Lopccss, for he was one Of the most severely in
iured, and 50 reported by the relief committee
lie suffered much pain; his face, head, neck, both
arms, and entire back being readiully burned
The flesh was burned of both arms from the elbow
down To the fngers-the right arm near the elbow
being barnt to the bone. The back from the hip
to the shoulders was covered with sores, having
lain in burning Goals when amid the ruins; and
the ears were burned to a crisp, and fears enter
tanned of their dropping off.
Rev. James l.. Hodge, Pastor OF lst Baptist
Church, Brooklyn, called 20 see him, and stated
that he would get something to cure hm. In the
evening he returned with some of DALEY =
PAIS EXTRACTOR, which he Obtained from the
Proprietor himself and applied il. He MIR. ii.
being familiar with its properties, having seen II
successfully used When the steamer Wiltshire was
blown ~ on the North River, and upon which oc-
casion il saved the lives OF four persons, who had
been dreadfully scalded. The application of the
Extractor produced ease in nom Is 10 20 minutes
and he was free from pain after that except at the
dressings and at times when the plastcrs we've ac-
cidcnialiy removed or disturbed. The use of the
ointment was faithfully adhered to by direction of
| the attending physician, and fresh SUI plies were
! constantly obtained from the proprietor. IL has
completely and fully restored him, and cnred his
| wounds without leaving scar or mark OF any
kind. lie is now perfectly well and engaged in his
! b. sness occupation,
To the foregoing facts am happy to testify with
! sincers thanks to Mr. DALEY and the Rev Mr..
