Read what the editor of the Cincinnati Time
says of ALIENS LUNG BALsAM:
A REMARKABLE CURE-Mr. Samuel Lewis, one
the old Pioneers of Cincinnati, was very long, ap-
larently, in the last stages of Consumption, and
given up by physicians, when some kind friend re-
commended him to use ALIENS LUNG BALSAM
He did so, and Immediately CONNIE nced recovering
and is now able to attend to business He SAYS: SIN
truth, may say it has saved my life Mr.. Lewis is
well known in Cincinnati, and the fullest confidence
may be placed in his statements 1t is DUE therefore
to the community especially those suffering under
this terrible malady, that the fullest publicity be
given to such marvellous cures that other sufferers
may avail themselves of the remedy With pleasure
therefore, we refer to this cure.
From our knowledge of the merits of this excel
lent balsam, and what We hear of its merits, we
think it should be at once used by all persons suffer-
ing from cough, or any pulmonary complaint. We
hear that many far advanced umption have
been cured by its use. dc14i4w

The New Press of the London Times.

The London Times has recently put in
operation in its office the new Z" Walter
printing press and il is now printed up
on four of these improved printing ma
chimes, which were designed and mann >

have been patented both in England and
in this country. The IS WI alter press" so
named in honor of the proprietor of the
Times, is a machine that prints from
roll of paper instead Of from sheets ms is
done BY the Hoe printing press. 1t
prints upon both sides of the paper by
the same process; afterwards cutting the
paper into sheets and delivering them in
piles. In the foregoing respects, it's
similar to the Bullock printing machine,
excepting that in the latter tho cutting is
the first process, whilst in the Z" Walter
press the cutting being the last, the use
of a great deal Of intricate machinery
necessary to move the sheets hrough and
deliver them from The machine Is dis
pensed with, lessening the liability to
accident The "a" Waiter press also
dampens. its own paper; and receiving A.
roll rs it comes from the mill, it vets,
prints and cuts it, manufacturing by one
process a complete newspaper. This
new machine runs at a speed of 1000
copies, printed on both sides, per hour.
and including stoppages, it prints from
10000 to 1000 per hour. One hand
and two boys run it, the latter inspecting
and counting the sheets rs they are &c
livered. The waste of paper is stated at
one quarter Of one per cent, whilst the
register is said to be practically p rfcct.
The chief merits of the machine, howev.
er, are announced to be its saving of

printed on four of these presses run by
four men and eight boys. with two press
mer to superintend them, fourteen per-
sons in all, and printing over 10000
sheets an hour. They print The edition
in half the time and with ono fifth the
number of hands required by the ma
chimes previously in use. To making the
change from the old TO tho new system,
the Times reduced its press room ex.
penses just one half, the payroll being
$500 in gold, a week. or $25, 900 year
less for 1870 than for 1869, whilst its
saving in the waste of paper is 5000 a
week in 0old. or $40. 00O ner year. an
aggregate saving at the rate of $35 900
per year. Although the Times is printed
upon thick strong paper, it is said that
the new press does its work rs rapidly
and completely with the thin paper in
use for printing American newspapers.
