From the Medical Record of November tst 1871 I
Having been requested to state what know
therapeutcally of Kennedy's Concentrated Ex
tract of Pinus Canadensis, and furthermore be-
ing requested to send it for publication in the
columns of your journal, l beg leave briefly to
tax your patience and generosity.
For the past six months l have used this ex-
tract in many cases affecting the mucous mem
branes, and in almost every case it has given
entire satisfaction. In abrasion of the os and
cervex uteri, when applied in its full strength
by means of pledget of cotton, have found
it far more satisfactory than tannin or iodine.
In endometritis it has proved equally satisfac-
tory. have used it with perfect success in
acute and chronic vaginitis, by applying it in
its full strength every other day. have also
used it in several cases of gonorrhea, and must
say that vastly prefer it to the Wanted rem
edy of claret and tannin.
1t is certainly most valuable astringent and
tonic; and doubt not that it will very soon
have its place in our Materia Medica.

MIR. FELLOWS is daily in receipt of letters o
inquiry, from various parts respecting his Sy-
rup of Hypophosphites. One recently received
leads to the belief that the public mistake his
meaning in reference to its effect in imparting
superior energy to the mind. When the intel
lect has been impaired by overwork or by kim
dred causes, the use of the Syrup together with
proper precautions in the use of food, clothing
exercise and rest, will restore full power to the
brain and nerves Superiority of genius CON
ssts in great capacity of brain for assimiating
material from every quarter, and of developing
in proportion, but as by far the greater number
are not well endowed by nature, consequently
lacking this capacity, it would be quite impos-
sible to find Uranium space for material neces-
sary to constitute the brilliant genius. Hence
although the Syrup will assist in restoring the
mind which is lost, it cannot change natural
born idiot into an intelligent man.

A BEAUTIFUL WoMAN-The perceptive fac
ulty of women is usually keener than the same
chronological organ in men. Women know
that beauty rather than genius is worshipped
by the sterner SEX A man may talk of the lat
ter to his lady-love, but the keenness of the
woman knows that he is thinking of the form
er. Women are fond of admiration; hence one
of their longings is to be beautiful. The grand
secret of female beauty is health, the power to
eat digest and assimilate proper quantity of
wholesome food. Take VINEGAR BITTERs. 1t
will cleanse the stomach, tone the vital organs,
give perfect digestion, purify the blood,
clear up the complexion and produce state of
mental and physical electricity, which gives
symmetry of form, bright eyes, white skin,
glossy hair and genuine type of female lowell
ness, which no cosmetic can produce.

NEW YORK CUSTOM HOUSE INVESTIGATION
New YORK, Jan. 1S.-The Retrenchment
Committee continued their sessions at the hotel
to-day. Collector Arthur testified that the
statement made by one Grant, that consulta-
ton was held between him (Arthur), ex-Collec-
tor Murphy. Mr.. Haw and Inspector Terry at
which Terry was promised promotion in office
if he signed the returns as Inspector of elections
in the 18th assembly district, was entirely false,
as he never promised such promotion to Terry
Il. Beckwith, member of the Assembly, sent
letter, stating that so far as Horace Greeley
testimony related to his voting for Smith for
Speaker under the Custom House influence
was entirely untrue.
A table of statistics, showing the imports,
per centage of collection, ETC., was sent in by
Collector Arthur.
Surveyor Cornell testified that he had been in
every State Convention for ten years There
were six officers from the Custom House at the
Convention in 1o71. In his opinion no Custom
House patronage was used to control the State
Convention in 1871. Mr. Greeley's statement
that hundreds of Custom House officers were
travelling about is not true

AN INGENIOUS INVENTION The members of
Cumberland Steam Fire Engine Co. No. 8. on
the occasion of the celebration of the eighth an
niversary of the company few nights ago, ex-
hibited to the committee on fire department,
the board of engineers and other invited guests
a simple and ingenious mechanism which per
forms variety of duties. 1t is thus described:
1t consists of a series of wires, one attached
to gong Immediately over the heads of the
horses another connected with the chains
which confine the horses in the stall, another
with the door leading from the stable, and still
another to the gas lights in the stable and en-
nine ROOM These wires are connected with the
main one, which runs to where the driver sleeps
AS soon as an alarm is sounded the driver pulls
handle and these connecting wires perform
the duty required of them, striking the gong,
turning up the gas, loosening the chains, open
ing the door, &c. When all was ready the
wires were pulled, and in twenty seconds and
half the horses were attached to the engine and
ready to start. The horses are trained SO per-
fectly, that particular one comes out of the
stable first. Of course in case of actual fire the
time required would be a little longer, for the
driver would have to dress himself, but it is
considered that five minutes are saved on every
alarm The gentlemen present expressed
themselves as highly pleased with this perform
ance. At the conclusion of the experiments
the company sat down to an excellent supper
at which remarks were made by number of
gentlemen. HF
