A novel sort ola drGwbridge has been
built at the north ends Of the old and new
railroad bridges which span sylvan water.
The new bridge is sixteen feet above the
old one. SO they have built short span
which ia suspended by four posts. When
car loads of material are required upon the
new track the span is lowered TO Level
With the old, and when trains are to pass
on the lower span, up goes the draw and
under is goes the train.

Cleaned like other rollers. Warranted TO york
all kinds of ink on all kinds Of Presses, In all
kinds Of weather, and TO re-cast. Ii Is the
/ cheapest Material for rollers that can be manu-
featured. Printers who try the India Rubber
| Compound once will use no other. The specia
advantages claimed, ana demonstrated by 81
use, daily are, that Is is far more durable, and
shrin ks less than any other, retaining its sue
ton and elasticity always, and can he Fe-cas
when the roller becomes old thus replacing i
with new one IS good as the original. Roll

ers now in use In Phiiadelphia more than on

Dear Sir:-My brother who il now in his 14th
year, has been subject to Epilepsy fits from child
hood. The spasms would invariably occur during
the night, and our local physicians here could do
nothing to help him save prescribing Bromide OF
Potassium, which would afford only temporary re
lief. He was gradually but surely becoming insane
and in this condition we procured your restorative
stlmulant, herbal ointment and pills, and used al
directed, and but short time elapsed before the
spasms entirely ceased, his intellect grew brighter
aud In short entirely restored to perfect health

ia person has Consumption, of course the lungs

lungs are mass OF inflammation and fast decaying.
In such cases what must be done: 1t is only the
lungs that are wasting but it is the whole body.
The stomach and liver have lost their power to make
blood out Of food. Now, the only chance is TO take
DR.. Schenck's three medicines, which will bring UP
tone to the stomach, the patient will begin to want
food 1t will digest easily and make good blood then
the patient begins to gain in Hesh and soon as the
body begins to grow the lungs commence to heal up
