The BRooKLrN BRIDGE.
about fourteen years hard labor the
great suspension bridge between New
York and Brooklyn has been COM
pleted, and thus two large cities con-
nected in manner which was never
dreamed of in Revolutionary times.
1t is indeed the crowning work of the
century, and can be classed among
the wonders of this country. The
suspension bridges at niagara Falls
and over the Ohio river at Cincinnati,
are merely foot bridges in comparison
with it. Its dimensions, history and
cost are familiar to all readers of the
daily papers, and do not need to be
repeated here but we do wish to
speak of PEnUHA, the greatest dis
coyery of this century. 1t is med

by him in thousand of cases during
thirty years of continuous practice.
