lIANsoN's PATENT BALANCE PRESSURE

HANSQN'S PATENT BALANCE PRESSURE
IL VALVE HYDRAULIC RAM, for which a
Silver Medal was awarded BY the American Insti.
tuto October, ls55. The above Ram which is a re-
cent invention of the patentee, is capable of forcing
water to n greater elevation than any other RAM,
with the same head supply Of water, and warranted
not to stop working at any time. if there is a sufi-
cient supply of water, and no leak Of air traps in
the drive PHO.
In the ordinary ram, the valve rests upon the
aperture it is designed to close, presenting a much
larger upper surface for the pressure in the air
chamber than the area on the lower surface, on
which the water acts in opening it consequently
the pressure per square inch required to lift the
valve is as much greater in proportion as the area
If tho upper surface is greater than the area Of the
aperture hence the great loss Of power.
The principal improvement in this over other
water rams consists in the upper and lower surfaces
OF the valve opening-into the air Misunderstanding
o. the same area the pressure per square inch requir-
ell TO open it is but slightly greater than that in the
81 CD 'mber consequently there is no loss of power
in its action-hencci its ability to throw more water
III IN other rains which, having valve seats, are
liable to catch and retain sand or gravel, and there
by to leak and get out Of order. Other important
advantages will be apparent in viewing il while in
operation.
The subscriber has been a practical plumber in
this city and elsewhere for the past twenty years,
and trusts, by strict attention to the business, in ali
1t, various branches, to merit full confidence.
Lead pipe, sheet lead, brass cocks, pumps Of all
descriptions for sale at the manufacturers prices,

fH'iIE PIPES arc con ected with the ram W tn
Il brass screw coupling, and the air chamber ana
body of the ram is put together with cottcr wedges,
and can be taken apart and restored in one minute
Although the prices OF the above rams are more
than the common order Of rams, yet their intrinsic
value l. more than ten times greater.

Dhaye been long and widely known as invariably

suppression Of the mcuses
In the Female Hospitals in Vienna, Paris, and
Berlin, they have entirely superseded the use Of all
otncr remedies because, where a cure is attainable
by medicinal agencies, they are certain OF success.
Their astonishing efficacy would be almost incred.
ible, if not vouched for by iudusitable testimony,
in numerous instances producing returns Of the
monthly period after all hope had been abandoned.
In every case, from whatever cause the obstruc.
tion may arise, as also to prevent pregnancy where
the health will not admit of increase Of family, they
are always efficient for which reason they mu
not be used during pregnancy, though always mild,
healthy, safe and certain in their effects.
Married ladies will fnl particular instructions
in the directions. in which are stated the various
symptoms by which the causes Of the suppression
may be determined.
Price, One Dollar per Box, containing explicit
directions.
Each box will be signed by DR.. R. g.. Geissncr
Principal Office, 1874 LibertySt., New-York City.
Responsible agents will be appointed for their
sale as soon as practicable. In the mean ii me.a
