CAPT. BoYNToN, an American, who
went to England several weeks ago TO
exhibit the efficiency of his ife-preserv-
ing dress, has astonished the Londoners
by his achievements on the Serpentine
and the Thames. The London Meas says
he excited the wonder of thousands of
persons by floating from Wrapping to
Vauxhall in his waterproof suit 1t may
be said that never before was old father
Thames so defied and set at naught by
mortal; its depths had no terrors to the
man who fearlessly Committed himselfto
them, andits yellow tide. NO power to re-
sist his advance or check his progress.
The scene is described as follows:
capt Boynton started with flood
tide from Mapping Old Stairs. All the
begrimed lighters moorsd Whereabouts
were crowded with workmen, just arrived
from the yards and shops on the othe r
side; and the bargers and water men,
young and old, looked on epen.mouthed
at the gentleman Who, incasing himself
In the armor of India-rubber, walked
into and along the river without touch
ing the bottom who could not 81 nix low
er than his breast, had he tried ever so
hard TO do it, and who, by the aid of q
light, double bladed canoe paddle, set off
on his journey, followed by fleet of boats
and loudly cheered by the amazed and de-
lighted spectators. The Thames, however,
ruftied by a smart wind against a heavy
tide, was much seveFer test than the
steaMless Serpentine, yet nothing could
be more complete than the success of
the trip. Rough Or smooth, il matters
nothing to the American guardsman, and
the spectator is soon possessed of abso-
lutte confidence in the safety of the in
vention. Blowing his fog horn or whis-
tie, using his ak, smoking his cigar and
waving his banner, his voyage was quite
triumphal progress, and the voyageur
seemed to take special delight in
threading his way among the shipping
and boats, taking the arches where the
current was most dangerous
"Once or twice he yurposely allowed
himself 10 foul barge or the buttress of
q bridge, in one instance shooting like an
arrow under the stern and between two
boats towing behind. Easy it was to see
that, clad in one of the suits, a man may
venture where boat could never go, and
perform q service of the highest advan-
tage TO humanity The wonder ex-
pressed In the faces of the sailors staring
over the bulkwards of the crowded ship
ping In the Pool, or on board the river
steamers and barges drifting westward
was not the least comical and interesting
feature of the journey, aud the omnibus
and cab men pulled mp on every bridge
till the bold adventurer had passed. - =

The blood being the source from which our
systems are built up and from which We de-
rive our mental as web as our physical capa-

does he SO recommend it; on the contrary
tcere are hundreds Of diseases that he ac-
knewledges it VII not cure; but what he does
claim IS this: Thasaehere is but one form Of
blood disease that il will not-cure, and that
disease is cancer. He does not recommend
his Discovery for that disease, yet he knows
it 10 be the most searching blood cleanser yet
discovered, and that il win free the blood and

W. GROVE STATION, Iowa, July IA, 1s12-
Dr. PIERCE, Bafalo, n. Y:
Dear Sir-My wife first became lame nine
years ago. Swe1lings would appear and dis
appeal upon her hip and she was gradually
becoming reduced aud her whole system rot
ten with disease. In 1871 swelling broke
on her hip, discharging large quantities, ana
since that time there are several openings.
Have had five doctors, at an expense of $125,
who say nothing, viii do any good but sur
gical operation.
July l6, 1873, he writes thus; My wife has
certainly received a great benefit from the use
OF your Discovery, for she was not able 10 get
off the bed, and was notexpected to live a
week when she commenced using it q year
ago. She has been doing most of her work
for over six months. Has used twenty bot
ties and still using it.. Her recovery is CON-
sidered as almost miracle and we attribute
it TO the use of your valuable medicine. Team
cheerfully recommend it as blood purifier
and strength restorer. j. NJ. ROBINSON.
