l "a hR. BRONSON, having been so far reduced -Ev by consumption, to be considered be- yond all hope of recovery by the most eminent of the medical profession, and also by himself-a regular physician of twenty years practice-as a last resort, conceived the idea of ANALYZING THE BLOOD and applying the subject of physi- ology to the more immediate connection, and ef- feet of the state of the blood upon the health and system. The result has been the production of this BLOOD FOOD," from the use of which, Dr. Bronson was restored to perfect health. With in six months after it's introduction over 2O00 consumptives were cffectually cured by it. If you Coughs, Colds, Headache, Palpitation of the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Pain in the Side, lose no time in procuring a bottle of tho BLOOD FOOD." If you are suffering from Nervous De5,l,ty, or your sleep is broken disturJed if your SPIRITS DE- PRESSED or your ORGANS RELAXED, you will find in this an unfailng remedy, by commencing with TEN DROPS. If your LIVER is torpid or diseased in any manner whatever, ONE OR TWO BOTTLES will be sure to invigorate, and bring it into lively and healthful action. In the most inveterate cases of DYSPEPSIA, the patient can here find the most ef- ficient and grateful relief. A benefit is always experienced after taking ONLY ONE BOTTLE.

 First-It is the preparation of regular physi- clan, who is well qualified from much experience in infantile complaints to prescribe for them. Secondly-It is entirely free from paregoric or opi ate of any kind and consequently relieves by re- moving the sufferings of your child, instead of deadening it's sensiblities Thirdly It is put up with great care, a comparison of it with any other article for infantile complaints will show the very roots from which it is distilled being dug from the forests under the direction of Dr. Eaton, many of them by his own hands. Fourthly-lt is perfectly harmless and cannot injure the most delicate infant, and is certain cure and relief in all the following cases which is it's chief merit over every other preparation, viz:
 FOR ALL COMPLAINTS ATTENDING TEETHING such as DYsENTERY, CoLIc, &c. also, for softening the gums and relieving pain. For regulating the bowels it is uncqualled. For cold in the head it is a sure relief. For GROUP, the most fatal and trying of diseases it can be relied with perfect confidence and being powerful ant.-spasmodic in a cases of convulsions or fits, we earnestly re- commend you to loose no time in procuring it, Lastly-It costs so much more than other prepar- | ations of the kind, that cannot afford such long advertisements as can those whose whole eX- 1 pense is their advertising for the same reason, It comments itself as the most reliable to all l mothers. In all cases, the directions wrapped around each bottle, must be strictly followed. Price 20 cents per bottle

SONG OF THE LOCOMOTIVE.

SONG OF THE LOCOMOTIVE. Fast through the sombre pine forests l flash, Pounding the track with monotonous crash; Lighting the gloom with comet-like glare, Thrilling with noises unearthly the air; Startling the turkey and coon from their sleep Mighty with motion resistless sweep
 Bong bong!
 Smashing along Tighten my road with bit of song! Oh can sing, though of iron my throat, And discOrdant my wild, supernatural note And the song that sing is of danger and dread, The midnight collision, the quivering dead The power imperial that nothing can stay The myriad of perils that Turk by the way.
 Bong! bong!
 Crashing along! I shorten the road with bit of song! Ho there, old stoker, who think you control This iron-ribbed animal, body and soul? Why, one pant of my lungs, and one heave of
 my flank Would flash you down yonder precipitous bank ; So don't be too proud of your muscle and bones, For sixty feet down, there are horrible stones!
 Ding dong
 Dumping along! Don't think that I'm singing your funeral song For know that behind me carry treasure, And 1t thrills through my nerve with singular
 pleasure. There the bride by her newly-wed husband re.
 poses, And the bronze of her cheek is faint flushed by
 her roses; And the pale mother sits with her babe at hel
 bosom, Like e lily that just has unfolded blossom.
 Bongl bongl
 Gently along! Soft as the winds of the Summer my song But hang all this sentiment! am steed That lives on the wild inspiration of speed I feed upon distance, grapple with space, My soul is Q furnace my fife is race; The long prairie shakes with my thunderous tread And my dissonance curdIes the air overhead;

AMERICAN & FOREIGN PATENTS

ED H. EDDY, Solicitor of Patents, Qate EAa Agent of the U. s. Patent Office, Wash ington under the Act of 1887. JIG State St., opposite Kilb, St., Boston.
 After an extensive practice of upwards oftwen- ty years, continues to secure Patents in the United States; also in Great Britain, France, and other foreign countries Caveats, Specified tions, Assignments, and all Papers or Drawings for Patents, executed in liberal terms, and with despatch. Researches made into American or Foreign works, to determine the validity or util- ity of Patents or Inventions-and legal or oth- CT advice rendered in all matters touching the same. Copies of the claims of any Patent furn- ished by remitting One Dollar. Assignments recorded at Washington.
 This Agency is not only the largest in New England, but throughi it inventors have advan- tages for securing patents, or ascertaining the patentablity of inventions, unsurpassed by, if not immessurably superior to, any that can be offered them elsewhere. The testimonials be low given, prove that none is MORE SUCCESSFUL AT THE PATENT OFFICE than the subscriber; and as SUCCESS IS THE BEST PROOF OF ADVANTAGES OR ABILITY, he would add that he has abundant reason to believe, and can prove that at no oth- CT office of the kind the charges for profes sional services so moderate. The immense prac, tice of the subscriber during twenty years past, has enabled him to accumulate vast collection of specifications and official decisions relative to patents. These, besides his extensive library Ot legal ana meCnanlCal WOrkS anG full accounts of patents granted in the United States and Eu- rope, render him able, beyond question, to of- fer superior facilities for obtaining ratents. All necessity of journey to Washington, to procurea patent, and the usual great delay there, are here saved inventors.
