Public Notice.


T JOHN HANNAs, being a Blacksmith by
L q trade, had often felt the want of some means
whereby could soften iron at the forge, so that
could work it at a better advantage. This induced
me to make MANY experiments With different sub
stances which offered the best prospect of success
1t was OF one OF these occasions that discovered
the wonderful effects of Electro Silicon on the
Human System.
had a defect in three of my fingers, which were
bent or shnt up in my hand in such manner, by
the CONTRACTION OF THE CORDS, that they were
Yefy troublesome to me in my daily avocation. l
could not handleimy tools as wished, and often
thought would have my fingers cut off to get
them out OF the way, have used everything that
offered any hope of relief, but all to effect.
Well, 1 say. was working with Electro Silicon at
the FORGE and of course could not prevent its COM
ing in contact with my hands.
took no notice of the effect 1t had produced,
until one day, wishing to use heavy hammer, l
gr&sped with my crooked hand, and much 10 my
surprise | found my crooked fingers straighten
out. and had as much use OF them as ever l
| | coGld hardly believe my eyes. l showed my
hands to my wife and family, and general re-
| oicing was the result.
| had neighbor living about mile from ny
| shop who had lame knee, caused by the cords
being contracted by rheumatism. / sent nun a
bottle of Electro Silicon Liuiment, and told him TO
| use 1t thoroughly. He did 50, and at the end OF
three months he was able to throw aside'his cane
and walk to my shop apparently as well as ever
1t had worked just as it did in my case producing
perfect cure. / gave it to hers of my neighbors
and friends, for miles around, who were suffering
| from Swelled Limbs, Rheumatism Neuralgia, Stil
Joints, Burns, ETC., all of which it cured without
any trouble. FindiNg that the Electro Silicon Lin

than any other substance, it occurred to me thai

great contrast to his friend Iiaydns, who
has almost a fiat nose Many Jokes pass
ed between them about noses.
one day, in a numerous and grave So
cety the subject Of music was being dis
cussed, and Mozart in reply to the COM
pliments made him, laid a wager that no
one, not even his friend Haydn, was ca
pable Of performing at first sight piece
which he had composed that morning
Haydn accepted the wager. The piece
of music was placed before him on the
piano. Haydn easily played through the
first portion of it, then he stopped short,
finding it impossible to go any further
The two hands must each beat the fur
thest eXtremities of the instrument, and
one note in the music imperiously de-
manded that one Of them should be in
the centre. Haydn confessed himself CON
