COOPERATION.

We have received several reports from CO.
operative fOundries and stores. We give
some of the figures below, and ask our read
ers to consider them carefully, as they show
degree Of prosperity and success that must
be gratifying to every friend Of co-opera-
ton:
The Cooperative Foundry Company OF
Troy, N r., was organized 10 March 1856,
during the great lockout Of the molders,
and business was commenced the latter part
Of the same year, with . capital Of some
$4,000. They fsst built shop that could
hold some thirt two moulders. Since then
Trey have doub.ed their capacity for doing
BUSINESS The following is their report for
the year ending January 1st, 1862:

OUR FAMILY PHYSICIAN.

Here isa book that really seems to meet every
requirement of thoroughly reliable family ply
sician, and is sold at so low price ($2.5O) that
all can afford to buy It, and none can afford to do
without 1t. 1t has one entirely new and, it seems
to us, invaluable feature it gives the several
modes of treatment as practiced by the different
schools of physicans-the Alopathic, Homeo-
pathic, Hydropathic, Eclectic and Herbal-so
that choice can be made of the method that may
the best suit ones taste Or convenience, or u
combination of two or three different modes
may be resorted to if desirable. It's written in
plain language that any one can understand.
To thus have always at hand reliable family
physician, ready at all times to be consulted and
to give the best Of advise, free of charge is
certainly worth the small sum charged for this
work. We are Informed that over two thou
sand copies have been sold already in the city
of Chicago, where the author resides, aud that
IL is having an Unprecedented sale everywhere.
1t is published in Cincinnati, by C.F Vent 3o
West Fourth Street, and in Chicago by }. 5.
Goodman IL Co., 8 Custom House Place, and is
sold exclusively by subscription.
