The peculiar improvement in the construc-
ton of this Mattress is, that all the clumsy Gnd
heary ,ppoden frame work is entirely dispensed
with, and its place supplied by lighter and
much more durable frame, the springs are all
connected by harnesS-lerher hinges, securely
riveted rendering it impossible for single
spring to fall down or get out of place, and
making a Bed SO elastic that any part may be
raised or bent up, and is thus admirably fitted
to the wants of the sick or asthmatlc who may
require sitting posture, having the Injurious
softness Of the best Feather Bed with the light
ness and facility of handling of the common
Hair Mattress.
These improved Spring Beds are inrariobiy
made OF the best materials, and viii last many
