DR.. PERRAULT'S has pleasure to inform pa

advice, that he can be consulted daily at his
office "4ARHORY HALL' BUILDING,
Northeast corner Montgomery and Sacrament
to streets, San Francisco. Rooms, No. ., 10

either Montgomery or Sacramento streets.
DIR. PERRAULT'S studies have been most
exclusively devoted to the cure Of the various
forms ST Nervous and Physical Debility, the
results of injurious habits acquired in youth,
which usually terminate in impotence end
sterilty, and permanently induce all the con-
comitants ofold age. Where'a secret iufirmity
exists, involving the happiness Of life, and
| that OF others, reason aud morality dictate the
necessity of its removal, for it is fact that
premature decline Of the vigor of manhood,
matrimonial unhappiness, compulsory single
life, etc., have their sources in causes, the
gem Of which is planted in early life, and the
| bitter fruit tasted long aflcrward. Patients
laboring under this complaint, will complain
| ofone or more of the following symptoms
Nocturnal emissions, pains in the back and
head, weakness Of memory and sight, dis
charge from the urethra on the stool or maxi
ing water, the intellectual faculties are weak
| ened, loss Of memory cnsues, ideas are clouded
and there is disinclinaiton to attend to busi-
ness, or even to reading, writing or the socies
| ty of friends, etc. The patient will probably
| complain Of dizziness, vertigo, and that eight
and hearing are weakened, sleep disturbed by
dreams, melancholy, signing, palpitations,
Paintings, coughs and slow fever; while some
have external rheumatic pain, and numbness
| of the body. Some of the most common SYM
| toms are rimples in the face, and aching in
| different parts the body. Patients suffering
from this disease should apply Immediately to
DR.. PERRAULT, either in person or by let
ter, as he will guarantee a cure of Seminal
| emissions and impotence in six or eight
| weeks. .., -
Patients suffering nom venercal diseases in
any stage, gonerrhea, gleet, structures, bubo
| ulcers, cataneous eruptions, ETC., will be
| treated successfully. All Syphilitic and Mer-
curial taints entirely removed from the sys-
| ten.

thoseNvho have tried this boosted doctor, and
that advertised physician, till worn out and
discouraged, to call upon us. Low charges

complaint incidental to their sex can consult

Save the Dead Leaves.

If every horticulturist and farmer would
think for a moment on the nature of fallen
leaves-which contain not only the veg
etable matter, but tho earthly salts, lime,
potash, ETC., needed forthe next seasons
growth of fertility, and that, too, exactly in
the proportion required by the tree or plant
from which they fall; nay, more, if they
would consider that it is exactly in this
way, by tho decomposition of these very
fallen leaves, that nature enriches the soil,
year after year, in her great forests, it would
hardly be possible for such rejecting
horticulturist or farmer to allow these
leaves to be swept away by every wind, and
finally lost altogether. Nor would he give
them away, as many now do. He would
rather collect, from week to week, the leaves
that fall under each tree, and by digging
them under the soil about the roots, where
they will decay, provide in the cheapest
manner tho best possible food for that tree.
If this plan should be tried we should not
see old orchards dying out for want Of
nourishment; but they would, in this simple
manner, receive all the enriching they re-
quired. Pear trees, and doubtless the
peach, would be greatly benefited by this
procedure. In certain vineyards in France
and Italy, the vines are kept in the highest
condition by simply burying at their roots
every leaf and branch that is pruned off, or
falls from the vines at the close Of the
season.

Farmers Shoe Grease.

Put into some fre-proof vessel one
fourth pound of lard or soft grease like
lard, one-fourth pound of tallow, beef or
mutten tallow, one fourth-pound of bees
wax, half pint of neats-foot oil, three or
four table spoonfuls Of lamp black, and a
piece of gum camphor as large as hens
egg. Melt the ingredients over slow fire,
and stir them thoroughly after they are
melted. Never heat SO hot as to make 1t
boil. Soft grease which has salt in it will
mover injurc tho leather. Now, have the
leather warm, and warm the grease, not so
it will flow, but have it 80 soft that it may
be put on with brush. Should the
leather seem to need it, give the shoes or
boots an oiling occasionally. 1t is not best
to dry the shoe grease all in before the fire,
but allow it to remain on the surface of the
leather. A light coat of this kind will ex-
clude the water even if the boots arc ex-
posed to the wetall day. This shoe grease
will not injurc the leather by rendering it
hard and inelastc When mans boots
are exposed to the wet, he should wash
them clean at night, and hang up in the
kitchen where the leather will dry gradual
ly, and put ona little grease every morning.
1t is far better to grease little often
than to grease bountifully every ten Or
twelve days. Leather should not be al
lowed tobecomc very dry before grcasing.
Always apply the grease as soon as the
leather is almost dry, then the leather
will remain mellow and never become
hard. Nothing Injuries boots orshocs more
than than to set them aside when they are
covered with dirt. Keep boots and shoes
away from the fire when they are liable to
be heated. Heating the leather Injuries it.

PORTABLE
SELF-ACTING FIRE ENGINE

1sNIiIS invention has for its object the extin-
gushing of Fires in more instantaneous
,nnnner than has hitherto been discovered.
The advantages to be derived from the use OF
the EXTINGUISIIER are rs follows:
Every fire begius on small scale and its
rapid and uncomfortable increase is owirg
to the f,ct that at the time Of its commencement
when every moments delay in checking it is
of the utmost importance) no means arc ready
at hand
The EXTINGUlSIIERi is the the only Engine
that fills this recruitment,
Its is always ready for use, though standing
unused for wears.
1t saves the dcluge Of water now used for
this purpose.
1t is as effective in the hands of q Boy as
the most experienced Fireman.
1t is portable, and as easily handled as a
bucket Of water. .r.E
1t possesses within its self the power of a
force pump, and as effective as Steam En-
gine.
1t is the only known invention that will put
out Fires from Kerosene, Tar, Naphtaline, and
other combustble materials now in common
use.

A Ton OF HAY BY MEAsURE.-Iti is q
matter of considerable dispute how much
hay in the NOW ought to be allowed. as a
ton in weight. In some Of tho agricultural
journals figures widely apart are given as
correct. Some assert that cube of ten feet
square is required, or 1000 cubic feet, while
Others place it, low as six feet square and
three feet deep, or only 892 cubic feet.
Now, both Of these cannot be right, neither
can any measure be fixed upon to hold good
under all circumstances. Hay at the bottom
of the NOW will be more solid than at the
surface, and the whole will be very much
affected by the quantity Of grain put on
top oft (if any, and the depth of the hay.
But, having occasion to sell ton in my
barn, to be sure Of the quantity for future
reference, l measured off space Of eight
feet square in one corner of the NOW, and
cut down seven feet deep, and found the
hay removed weighed 2O2O pounds, thus
making 44S cubic feet-a good measure for
ton of hay; it was taken from the surface
upon which 200 dozen Of good oats had
been stored. The hay was twelve feet deep.
In this country when hay is sold in the
barn, it is generally calculated 292 feet to
ton, which l am confident will always fall
short. On the contrary, 44s is as near the
correct number as actual trial will give me.
