loose in my head my digestive organs derangcd and
have been helpless in bed for over year with mer-
curial rheumatism. My joints were all swollen, and
lost the use of my arms and legs and became help

NV sufferings became intense that ii was impos.
sible for me TO rest. The doctors advised me to go
to the city hospital for treatment. Thi could not
bear. A friend, who has proved friend. indeed,
urged me to try Swift's Specific, believing il would
cure me- Others discouraged me, but secured

these tables, skipping the openings, until
it reaches box at the extreme end, into
which it falls. If it is imperfect. it cannot
roll fast, and falls into the openings, I'M
der which boxes are placed. The shot
then goes to the "separators.', which are
a series of drawers not unlike bureau.
which rock backward and forward by ma
chinery. The shot is poured into the up
per drawer. which has an iron bottom per-
forated with holes of a certain size. The
second drawer has holes of smaller size,
and so on down to the lowest drawer, the
bottom of each drawer being perforated
with holes of a size smaller than those in
the drawer above it. The back ward and
forward motion throws the shot from side
TO side, letting all the shot the size of the
holes or SIN aller, pass through into the
second drawer, while all larger than the
holes remain in the drawer. The same is
repeated down to the lowest drawer, so
that each drawer contains smaller size
of shot than the one Immediately above it.
The next process is "polishing." The
shot is put into irregular shaped iron box
es, which continually revolve. When the
box is nearly full, powdered black lead is
put in. The irregular motion of the box
throws the shot from side to side, and the
black lead is so ground into it that it can
not be rubbed off. And it is this that
gives it the beautiful shiny appearance.

How Shot are Made.

Every person who has walked about the
lower part of this city, says the New York
Tribune, must have noticed high round
tower. as high as the roadway of the
Bridge, which rears itself high above the
surrounding buildings and has small win
dows at different places. This tower is in
Center Street, near Worth Street, and be-
longs to the Colwell Lead Company
There are several of these towers in this
city. They are places built especially for
the casting and manufacturing of shot.
The tower rises to height of one hun
dred and seventv-six feet. and is fifty feet
in diameter at the base. 1t diminishes in
diameter as 1t ascends, being about thirty
feet across at the top. It is divided into
several stories. A circular stairway made
of iron extends to the summit. giving ac-
cess to the several stories Great height
is essential for casting. as the lead must
cool in the descent, and thus assume a
spherical shape, If hot. it would flatten
when it strikes the water into which it
falls.
The first method is making what is call
ed temper" This is a mixture of arse
mic and lead, The mixture is melted in
large kettels. and is constantly skinned
and stirred. 1t is cast in bars the same as
lead. When the temper is make it is car
ried to the top floor, where there are ket-
tells and furna ce for melting it. The
temper is mixed with the lead, as pure
lead would assume various shapes in cast
ing; but when mixed with the temper, in
the proportion of three tons of lead to one
ton of temper,it takes the shape ofglobules
when it is cast.
The casting pans are large colanders,
round pans with holes perforated in the
bottom. The casting is all done on the
top floor, and the colander is suspended
over an opening in the floor. which goes
through the entire height of the building
to the ground. where there is we'll of
water. The lead is melted IN large kettles
and is dipped out and poured into the
colander with ladies which have long
handles. 1t oozes through the holes in
the bottom of the colauder, and falls
through the opening to the ground floor
into the well. The shot is taken out of
the well by small buckets fastened to an
endless belt, which runs over wheel,
which carries it from the we'll up to
long metal table Here the shot is con-
stantly stirred by men with long rakes,
and the heat rapidly dispels the moisture.
and the shot soon becomes perfectly dry.
1t is taken from the .drying table" to
the 'screeners," series of tables with
narrow openings between them, the tables
being set at a slight angle. If the shot is
round and perfect, it rolls rapidly along

Among the many attachments which we
NAV reasonably expect the coming man to

of Ayers Pills, as means Of keeping the

power to cure Dyspepsia, Liver Com

81 some Of the New LondOn people. 1t is

There is no denying the fact that under
the old treatment it has often proved as
difficult to drive OFT rheumatism as to
move navy yard.
One Of our correspondents while taking
= tour among the apothecaries Of New
LONDON, found that by their patrons
these maladies were no longer regarded as
toHah and obstinate as formerly, but were
living way to the power Of the new medi-
zinc, Athlophoros Several of these apoth-
carries spoke Of number Of cases in which
neuralgia and rheumatism had been thor
.g!ly cured by Athlophoros.
Visiting Mr.. j. j. T. Strickland, the old
;ai.Iished coal dealer and merchant, he
pand that Mrs. Strickland had been a sui
i.fer FROM rheumatism. Said Mr.. Strick-
,nd: "She had it for several years. Her

snow much about Athlophoros, except
