currents struck my balloon on all sides with
equal force. Finding the balloon iull,

and while letting of the gas as fast as could,

the car violently at the time, and Tor ten
minutes succecdinc knowing my situation,

4 IIENIlON OF PURCHASERS Is RESPECT
"a fully called to n new and gigantic invention in
Piano fortes now fully perfected, and before the
public, known as HALLS Celestial Triple stringed
Piano. The popularity Of the Celestial Piano con-
ssts in its capacity for otauo pia yng with the single
finger, an attainment hitherto unknown to the
Panofortc.
The most ordinary performer is enabled by the
aid Of this improvement to produce effects in octave
playing that would confound Thalberg or Li.tz.
One of its chief cXcelencies is its capacity to be
used at will as an ordinary Piano Of the sweetest
quality oftonc, and Is instantly changed by the use
Of a common pedal To a combination so thrilling
aud majestic, to captiyate and charm the heart
These instruments are superior in power to two
binary octave Pianos, while for sweetness, purity
breadth, and richness Of tone, they challenge the
competition of the world
Ihi. is the united testimony of Professors and
Amateurs who have tested the Celestial Piano. Or

in the form of pimplcs, Warts, Scales, Horny Pro-
tuberances, Prcternatural ENGAGEMENTS and Tuber-
cular Elevations. Sometimes unusual heat, and
very unpleasant itching, succeeded by a twitching,
and sensation felt as if there a fly or spider
crawling over the part, and at intervals darting,
hoOting pain, which becomes more frequent as the
disease progresses.
1t also originates from blows, bruises and the
ordinary causes and states of inflammation produce
Cancer grief and anxiety are also its causes
Sorrow for the loss of relatives Also often produces
it. 1t is fayOured by age and by the unmarried
