The IIydromagen is a valuable dScolery for
protecting the feet from the damp or cid, and
therefore a preventative of many Lug dis
eases, without any doctoring whatevg. The
Hydromagen is in the form of a sole, and worn
inside the boot or shoe. Its medicatet charac-
ter is powerful antidote to disease.
For gentlemen it will be found agreeable,
warm and healthy to wear in the coolest and
rainiest weather, as the foot cannot become wet
if the Hydromagen is inserted. Ladies may
wear the lghtest soled boots or shoS in the
most inclement weather with impunt while
Consumption, so prevalent among theyoung of
our country, may be thwarted by thef general
adoption. They entirely supcrcede opr-shoes,
as the latter cause the feet to persprcn very

India-rubbers. While the latter caus the feet
to appear extremely large, the Hydomagen,
being a mere thin slice Of cork prepacd, pecu-
larly placed inside, does not increas the size
of the boot, or cause the foot to apper untidy
To children they are extremely vluable as

THE CHEST.

CIR ASHLEY COOPER, BART, NJ. D. the
- eminent Medical practitioner, has left
valuable legacy to the world in his great pre-
ventative of Consumption, and unfailng cure
for pulmonary diseases, without the use OF
medicine. Sir A. c., Bart, invented and adj
vised the use of the Medicated Fur Chest Pro-
tector, to all persons, of all ages and condi
tons, as a certain and safe shield against those
fearful diseases, Consumption, Bronchitis, Asth-
ma, Coughs colds, and other Affections of the
Lungs, which arise from the exposed state of
the chest, according 10 fashion, and the con-
tinual changes of our climate.
ssThe Protector is simply a chemically pre-
pared fur, lined with silk and padded, which
suspended from the neck, covers the chest in
so agreeable manner that, once worn, it be-
comes a necessity and a comfort.
g The PROTECTORS" although but recently in
troduced into America, is making rapid pro-
gress throughout tho United States, the Cana
das, South America, and the West Indies. 1t
has for long time been a staple article in Eng
land and on the continent of Europe, while it
has grown in many countries to the position of
an article of dress.
TO demonstrate these facts enquire of any
English resident in your vicinity of his knowl-
edge of the beneficial effects of wearing the
Protector, without recourse to doctoring of
any kind The cost of wearing these articles
is mere trifle, and one will last some years.
No one who values the health of himself or his
family will be without them. The hospitals in
this country are not alone recommending them
but are rapidly introducing them. Harcourt,
Bradley & Co., of London and Manchester,
England, were originally entrusted with the
Protectors, by the lamented Dr.. Cooper, and
continue to manufacture according to his ori-
ginal instructions, and therefore recommend
those who would wear g The Protectors to
see to their being genuine. |

This No. 6 is the largest and most powerful
Furnace made in the country, and is admirably
adapted for Churches and other large class
buildings.
We continue to sell the apparatus at the same
price as when first introduced five years ago.
Although the present high price of iron has in
creased their cost 25 per cent. owing to their
great weight, still We arc enabled, by the great
increase of sales, to furnish the article at the
lowest possible price. One Foundry alone,
Mcssrs. Warwick & Lcibrandt, have contracted
to furnish us with 500 tons of Furnaces this
season, so that we are now prepared to furnish
them Wholesale and Retail. We superintend
the erection of all Furnaces when required, and

A HAPPY DILEMMA.

"What dismal night !" said poor NJ:
Armand, as he looked hoPelessly round
in search Of facre. There was not ono
to be seen; he must therefore walk to the
nearest stand, and that was at no incon-
siderable distance. He had just left a
brilliant soiree in Faubourg du Roule-he
had passed the preceding evening at the
Ball dc l. l'Opers-on both occasions he had
danced for many hours. and consequently
he found himself overwhelmed with ia
tigue. The night was damp and loggy'
and the wind blew keenly in his face
The young man sighed, and resigned him
self to fate. He proceeded through the
Faubourg du Rule, and down the Rue du
Foubourg St. Honore; every stand was
deserted, and the few vehicles that he
chanced to encounter upon the road were
already occupied. At last, as if to crown
his misery. some premonitory fakes OF
snow began to fall.
IL can go no further y exclaimed NJ.
Armand. as staggering from fatigue, and
half dead with cold, he leaned against a
doorway.
But stay On casting last despairing
look in advance, he thought that he per-
ceived file of carriages before the door
of large mansion down one of the streets
opening upon the Madelaine.
But his troubles were not to be SO speed
ily ended. Among the twenty-five or
thirty equipages which he found stationed
together, there was not single hackney
vehicle. All were private, and all were,
of course, inaccessible. Any other man
would have been daunted by this new dis
| on.o;ntn,ont. ~ NJ Almond II ruOOast cd

erv servants were assembled round bla

n. Armand approached stealthily to
wards the carriage, opened the door soft
ly, glanced once more around, to see tina
no one observed him, and glided in.
1t was a delightfully."- comfortable little
vehicle cushioned, soft, yielding, ant
perfumed withal by that soft scent of dow
ers and otto of roses which seems to lin

He had only intended to. rest for fev
moments till facre should pass by o

ever, overcome by WEAKNESS and the lux

after this broke up. The servants return

gradually put in motion-the visitors wer
departing. Still NJ Armand slept on,
