DR.. Roback'S Theory and Prdctrce.
II would seem that noetor Robaeks "scandlnavian
Remedies" have taken tho highest rank among the
standard medicines OF the dap. Histhesry Is that In
whatever organ disease may show ITSELF It's seat Is In
The blood. Hence, hi. famous swedish euraiiyes the
Blood Purifier aud Blood Pills, are designed 10 act,
specifically upon the sanguIneous nuId. Ono thing
esnnotbe disputed they produce mos. snutary.eaeeis
even In apparently hopeless cases. individuals who
have suffered ryearfrom dyspepsia, scrofla, erup-
tons OF tho skin, bronchitis asthma, general prostra-
ti6n, liver complaint, rheumatism, neuralgia, and
ny other distressing complaints, report themselves,
over their own signatures, az radically cured By a
course olhese Remedies. The claims Of DR.. Robaek's
advertisements are therefore supported by eompe-
tent proof.

ORlGIN OF FIREs-SaaU Dust Fzo,Cers
MIR. Baker, the fire marshal in New
York, has just inadelan interesting semi
annual report, in which he makes some
valuable suggestions as to the origin OF
fires; for instance, he says of saw dust:
Among the causes of fire, though ap-
parently harmless in itself, aud there
fore not suspected by persons employing
it, is the use of saw dust for packing,
or covering floors. Thus saw-dust and
oil, when thrown together in a body,
will infallbly produce combustion. 1t
is but recently that an oil warehouse
was near being destroyed by the acci
dental combination of these substances.
The workmen had used saw. dust to col
>lcct aud dry up the oil split on the floor.
and they had deposited the sweepings
thus saturated in common barrel.
where they left it standing for several
days. On the day prior to the fire
breaking out, they perceived an unusual
smell, like that of something shoulder
ing. The premises were carefully ex-
amined, but no one thought of exploring
the contents of the barrel. To their as
tonishment, however, next, morning the
barrel was found nearly consumed, aud
the building itself in flames, and but for
the promptncss and energy of the fire.
men, the warehouse, which contained a
large stock of oils aud tallow, would have
been burned to the ground.
