AND DRUGGISTS.

A prominent New York physician lately
complained to Dundas Dick, about his Sad
dnwood Oil Capsulns, stating that SOME
times they cured tremendously bnt that a
patient Of his had taken them for sometime
without effect on being informed that
several limitations were made and sold, he
inquired and found that his patient had
been taking capsula ssold in bottles, and not
DUNDAS DICK & cos.
What happened to this physician may have
happened to others, and DUNDAS DICK Il
CO., take this method ofprotecting "Oil of
Sandalwood" from this disrepuie.
PHYSICIANS who once prescribe the
Capsulas will CONTINUE TO Do so. for
they contain the PURE OIL in the BEST
AND CHEAPEST form.
OIL OF SANDLEWOOD is fact super
seding every other remedy, sixty Cspsules
ONLY being required to insure safe and
certain cure in six or eight days. From
no other medicine can this result be had.
DICKS SoFT CAPSULES solve the prob
lem long considered by many eminent ply
sicians, of how to avoid the nausea and dis
gust experienced in swallowing, which are
well known to detIact from, if not destroy
The good effects of many valuable remedies.
Soft Capsules ale put up in tin-foil and
neat boxes, thirty in each, and are the
only capsules prescribed by Physicians.

A PHILADELPHIAN is said to have
invented a machine with which, by the
use of only two gallons of water, he can
generate sufficient motive power to run
train from Philadelphia to San Fran
cisco and back The water is used over
and over again, and no fuel, chemical,
electricity or magnetic currents are used
A trial OF the machine was made re-
gently in.the presence of three witnesses
sworn to secresy, who were astonished at
the simplicity aud power of the inven-
ton. 1t is kept closely concealed un-
der lock and key, and is shown only to
experts sworn not to divuIge the secret
Although it is proposed by this inven-
tion to supercede steam, the new
machine will produce a pressure OF
1000 pounds to the square inch, the
pressure OF steam ranging from 80 to
200 pounds. A number of capitalists
are said to have expressed willingness
to pay large sums OF money for the pat
ent right for certain localities, and there
is no doubt that the inventor, if he can
preform with his machine one half he
claims, has made his own fortune, be-
sides comforting an inestimable blessi ng
upon humanity.

JUDGE ELwELL, in Columbia
county case, recently, decided that
school directors could only levy a tax Of
ten mills on the dollar. This decision
has been held good by Judge Walker
aud an additional poiut decided in re-
cent Schuylkill county case. A regular
tax of ten mills and special tax of two
mills for building purposes, had been
assessed in the borough of Pinegrove,
The building tax was to be used for the
repair of a school house already erected
Judge Walker decides the two mill tax
to be illegal. Ordinary repairs must be
made out Of the regular school fund.
As these decisions are in ,conn;ct with
the rulings Of the school department it
is more important that they should be
generally known in order that school
directors may not ignoran'ly collect
taxes they are not entitled to receive

Eorney's rrssg.

The rumors :that Forney's Press, of
Philadelphia, had been sold to COM
pany aud that Col, Mcclure was to man
age it, is pronounced untrue, Able Re-
publicans have stepped into the relief
Of Col. Forney who is somewhat embar-
rassed and the Press will continue as it
is a supporter of Republican measures
and men. Col. Forney, writing from
Europe, attributes the late Republican
defeat to the financial embarrassments
of the country and thinks the remedy
for the country aud the party is not in
further contraction or resumption of
specie payments. lie says:
Every intelligent observer must de-
eide that no organization will dare to
attempt to cure the prevailing distress
by resort to any of the known ideas,
such as hard money and specie pay
ments. The one strong fact bears
equally upon every mind, that We have
now very little more currency for the
whole Of the country than we had at the
close of the war for a little more than
halt the country. What, then is the
duty of the Republican party in the pre-
sent situationY | claim that, having
created our financial system, having
fought the war through with the present
circulating medium, having protected
industry and contributed unspeakably
to the prosperity of the nation, it is the
bounded duty Of that party to take care
of The institution it established and to
do this at the coming short session Of
Congress- The American people have
declared that they want the means BY
which to live, and this can be furnished
by the simple process of stopping the
reduction of the public debt, increasing
the circulating medium, and building
our transeontinental railroads. L am
writing not in the interests Of any party,
although l believe these will be the
means of putting the Republicans it
fighting trim for 1876. What l suggest
caunot be safely opposed by any political
organization, and must at last be adop-
ted even by tie Democrats, with all
their tendencies to free trade and hard
money. Our country has suffered suf-
iciently for wha; has 5eeu codly called
the "cruicial test" The rich have only
grown richer in the course of this fierce
and grinding process, and the poor
poorer. 1t would be startling exhibit
if we could find and print the proof OF
this assertion, showing how much the
destitute have agonized since the col
lapse of September, 1873.
The Republicans are in an over
whelming majority il the two houses
of Congress which meet on the first
Monday in December, 1874, and ad-
journed on the 4th of March, 1875.
Let them move to the good work at
once, and throw themselves upon the
country, aud they will be vindicated at
the polls. Let them do this in defiance
of protests from whatever quarter, and
they will be rewarded not only by pros
perity at home, but by revival of the
confidence of foreign nations, so rudely
shocked by the result of that suicidal
contraction, fruitful alone in bankrupt
cies and defscstions, and still crushing
US to the earth.
