wharf has just completed one of the finest
pieces of work ever done in the state. 1t is a
figure head for the new ship building at Ken
nebunk. The figure is that of a.woman stand
ing with one foot upon the head of a serpen.
while the other rests upon his body. Her
right hand holds the tail of the reptile while
her left grasps a rope which encrcles her waist.
The scales of the serpent are gilded and he is
looking wild and fierce. The figure of the
woman has on a rich yellow robe, and her feet
are incased in sandals. Long light hair hangs
over her neck and shoulders. The features of
the woman are bold and defiant, and at the
same time true to nature. The figure is eight
feet in length and has excellent proportions.
This fine piece of workmanship will be on ex-
hibition in the shop for few days and it is
well worth seeing. 1t is said that the ship will
be sold to parties in Boston when she is COM

his recovery impossible. council of able physl-

beyond the reach of human remedies. that even am

enough to endure the operation. Just then we COM

to the present he has been continuously improving.
He has lately resumed his studies. thrown away
crutches andacane, and walks about cheerfully ard
strong.
Though there is still some discharge from the
opening where the limb lanced. we have the
fullest confidence that in little time he will be per-

He has taken about three DOZEN bottles Of VEGE-

DAVID WOOSTER, M. D., says the beneficial
effect of the Health-Lift is appreciated, when
it is understood that it is by muscular contIac-
ton that arterial capillaries are emptieJ. and
that, Immediately after such contraction, these
same capillaries must be refilled with arterial
blood fresh from the lungs, through the left
side of the heart-that is, newly oxygenated
blood. Constipation is cured by this process
that is, completely emptying the small arteries
OF the alimeLtary canal during muscular con-
traction, which, By well known physiological
law, is followed by increased peristaltic action.
This explains how the Gift cures functional
diseases of the liver, spleen, pancreas, stomach,
&c. 1t cures by causing mora complete re-
newal of arterial blood in the finest capllalies
than can be secured by ony other known
means.
The method of Cumulative Exercise as prat-
ticed on the Reactionary Litter, is most econ
omical in time, requiring only ten minutes each
day, and no change of dress for either sex, ana
is most thorough in uniform. simultaneous
tautenng and development of all the muscles
of the body. In response to your inquiry as TO
my opinion of their merits, [ do not hesitate
to unqualifedly commend the Exercise and
the Apparatus 10 all persons suffering from
dyspeptic OF rheumatic affections, and to every
person of sedentary employment who-how
possessing average or "passable'' health-de-
sires to obtain and enjoy the fullest vigor and
efficiency of which his Cor herr constitution is
capable.
We have heard several gentlemen who have
been lifting at 237 Middle street, under Dr.
Gaubert's direction, express themselves as being
equally well satisfied that the exercise is bene-
fetal.
