Caution to the Public,

Every intelligent and thinking person must know
that remedies handed out for general use should have
their efficacy established by well-tested experience in
the hands of regularly educated physician, whose
preparatory studies fit him for all tie duties he must
fulfill yet the country is flooded with poor nostrums
and cureals, purportng to be the best in the world.
which are not only useless, but always injurious.
The unfortunate should be PARTICULAR in selecting
his physician, as it is lamentable yet controvert-
BILE fact that many syphilitic patients made mis-
cradle with ruined constitutions by maltreatment
from inexperienced physicians in general practice;
for it is point generally conceded by the best syph
ographers, that the study and management of these
plants should engross the whole time of those who
would be competent and successful in their treatment
and ours. The inexperienced general practitioner,
having neither opportunity nor time to make him
self acquainted with their pathology, commonly pur
sues one system of treatment, in most cases making
an ndiscriminate use of that Anticipated and danger
GUS weapon, the Mercury.

Blanchard Maine State Boiler Co.

TVNHE above is an engraving of Steam Boiler con-
Il tanning 1900 feet of heating surface built upon
new principle namely, that Of stopping the verticd
circulation accomplished by means of two horizon
tai didphrdgms running through the boiler, and
forming three water compartments. By this ar
rangement there is maintained three temperatures of
water.
The smoke and heated gases pass first through the
tubes in the upper compartment, then descend, and
return through the tubes in the second compartment
thence again descending they pass through the tubes
in the third compartment. By this operation, the
smoke, and heated gases from the furnace on their
way to the smoke stack, or chimney come in con-
tact with gradually decreasing temperatures of
water.
While doing average work, coupled with good
engine, it will supply steam for 100 indicated horse
power
We will guarantee that this boiler will shew 80
per cent. more power with the same weight of coal
than any boiler of the same heating surface in the
market, and will continue to do so, long as it is
used, and we will back our guarantees with Gov
EMINENT BONDS.
The durability of this boiler is greater than any
other for the reason is that cold water is allowed
to come in contact with the intensely heated surfaces
the first water being gradually heated ascends
from the lower to the upper compartment.
We would especially call the attention of Railroad
men to the following facts that while running this
bOilerwth coal or wood the sparks neutralized,
and have ever left the smoke-stack or chimney
which in itself is most valuable advantage, never
before realized.
Combining ourselves to practice and not theorg we
invite all parties in want of Steam Boilers to give us
call.

The drop being cleared of all but the
CHASTITY blind, bound and plnioned victim,
at thirty-five minutes past one the prop was
ierked from it's place, and Pomp's body was
performing the most violent contortions in
the air, his feet only one foot from the
ground The fall measured two and half
feet. The rope had not been properly adj
justed, and the knot slipped from it's place
to the front and near the chin. The death
rattle could be heard in the victims throat
as he snrged and swung to and fro. From
the violence of his struggles, it is needless to
say the neck was mot broken, and, awful as
this sight was, the few within the room
tent on seeing the last agony, and, seem
ingly, anxious to devour the least of the
savage details. T
