L. LANGsTROTH's PATENT
4. MOVABLE COMB BEE HIvEl

n
Pronounced the best ever yet introduced
in this county or State. Amy person buying
a family right can have their Bees transferr-
ed from an old box to n new one. In every
instance in which this has been done the re-
suit has been entirely satisfactory, and the
first take of honey has invariably paid all ex-
penses and frequently exceeded them. Proof
of the superior merits of this invention will
be found in the testimony of every man who
has given it o trial, and among the number
are the gentlemen named below, and their
experience should induce every one interested
in Bees TO
BUY a FAMILY RIGHT
Henry c. Kirknatriek, Of fGar-oH township,
hives, which he sold at 35 cents per pound
Adam DIETRICH of Carroll township, took
from two hives loo pounds of surplus honey.
James kirkpatrick, of Chest township, took
GO pounds of surplus honey from one hive.
jacob Kirk kpatrick, of Chest township, OBJ
tanned 72 pounds of surplus honey from one
hive, worth not less than $21, and the right
cost him only So.
Peter Campbell from one hive obtained So
pounds of surplus honey at one time.
RaF Quite q number of similar statements,
authenticated by some of toe best citizens of
Cambria county, could be obtained in proof
of the superior merits OF Langstroths Patent
Movable Comb Bee Hive.
Persons wishing to purchase family rights

-Sunstroke, like hydrophobia. is al.

-Sunstroke, ike hydrophobia, is all
ways doubtful subject as to what it
really is, and how caused. The forms OF
medical treatment in the case Of sunstroke
are as varied Us the theories advanced Of
the character of the malady. In England
such cases are considered as arising from
direct over heating of the blood, and treat-
ed accordingly 4. home some doctors
consider it poisoning Of the blood, and
follow a treatment analogous to that 10
snake poisoning. Indian doctors believe
that it is occasioned by the direct action
OF the suns rays upon the hair, or perhaps
upon the aaaeaesdia oGIorgata. But how Is
this effect causei? What rays OF the sun
thus affect 1t connot be the illunina-
ting rays, nor can it be the heat, for fre-
men, puddlers, glass blowers, &c, endure
much greater heat, and at still greater
disadvantage. But in the solar rays We
have the '-actinic" or chemical rays, and
it is the actinic which acts most power
fully on organic nature; and the actinic
rays are surprisingly energetic in che trop-
les.
