II required many years of laborious research
into the properties of herbs and roots before
Brandreth's Pills arrived at their present state
of perfection They take all imp ure and merbid
accumulations from the bowels and the blood.
Their use in sickness saves money, time, and
health. This noble medicine saves suffering, re-
stores health, and prolongs life. Those who
know their properties have the most unbounded
confidence in them. When attacked by ever 90
serious disease, as pieurisy, collie sudden pros
tration, &C., when six eight pills have been
swallowed, they are easy in their minds. And
they have cause, for Brandreth's Pills are No

Explosion Of a Steam Fire Engine

NEW YORK, June 19.-The names of
the killed by the explosion of steam fire
engine last evening, are not yet known.
There were five killed, all young men
under twenty years of age. One of
them was blown from the sidewalk in-
TO the doorway of Bowery Theatre,
q distance of about twenty feet. The
conclusion nearly overturned passing
horse car which was crowded wit peo-
pie. The wounded will number nearly
forty, bat many are hurt only slightly.
One account says the engineer in charge
was not competent person, he being
n blacksmith. Edward Roche, one of
the iremen, wounded, states he was
about fixing the safety valve, the
spring of which was broken when the
explosion occurred. The boiler fortu-
nately exploded downward. All the
wounded but one, Mr.. +. Clark, of Con-
necticut, belong in this city. 1t is
thought that three or four more will
die of their injuries. The utmost ex-
element and CONSERVATION ensued in
the vicinity of the explosion during the
night, but all is quiet this morning.
