SCREW OR PADDLE.
A Comparison of the Two Methods of
Steamship Power and Speed.
(Cassisr's Magazine. j

(Cassler's MaRaz1ne.J
A screw, worked by high speed quad
ripple or multiple expansion engine, Is,
undoubtedly, the best means of propul-
sion for a merchant steamer engaged in
a deep sea trade, but for shallow water
navigation side wheeler Is preferable,
for as propellinR instrument the. paddle
wheel ia not inferior to the screw, while
its action is quicker In stopping and
starting the hull, and side wheelers car
back on Straight course, which cannot
be accomplished BY screw steamer.
Moreover, side wheeler does not sag al
the stern when under .way, aud this
Is very important feature in It's favor.
The screw Ia moro liable to be disabled
by picking up submerged log OF by
ing two or more blades. This Is not IN
unusual occurrence.
AS regards the seaw0rthiness Of side
wheel steamers, the immunity from dis
aster enjoyed by such lines as the Holy
head packets, The isis of Man steamer a
and the Greensboro Flushing boats
should be sufficient to prove their
staunchuess for channel service, but a
more signal proof Of their safety may he
cited.
The Cunard Royal Mail Steamship
company has during the last fifteen or
twenty years lost number of screw
steamers, accompanied by loss of life and
letters, but prsvious 10 that it was their
proud boast that they had never lost a
ship, aslife or letter for period of fifty
years, and the remarkablessfaot In oonneo.
ton with .such marked success is that
during the whole of that time their best
boats were side wheslers, viz, the Persia
and the Scotia.

The Story Of
Puritana.

Prof. Dixi Crosby, M. D., IL. D.,
who for thirty-two years was at the
head of Dartmouth Medical College,
belonged to the famous Crosby family
of physicians, which for several gener-
ations has furnished more distin-
guished medical men than any other
family in America. His father was
DR.. Asa Crosby, Of Dartmouth, who
procured the charter of the State
medical society, of which he was for
thirty years conspicuous membeS;
one brother, DR.. Josiah Crosby, in
vented the invalid bed and the method
Of making extensions of fractured
limbs by adhesive strips; another
brother, DR.. Thos. r. Crosby, was
chief surgeon in Columbian College
Hospital during the war, and later
professor of animal and vegetable
physiology at Dartmouth College;
while DR.. Dixi Crosby himself was
the inventor and discoverer of various
important improvements in medicine
and surgery, including new and
unique mode of reducing metacarpo-
phalangeal dislocation, opening of alb
scess at hip-joint, etc., etc.
At tuo early ago OF CWenGy.IOur Ills
extraordinary skill and success in over
coming disease had already attracted
the attention Of medical men through
out the world, and won for him the
highest honors. His greatest achieve
ment was the discovery of an original
method for perfecting and compound
ing in permanent form what has be.
come known as his "prize formula"
and which, under the name of Puri-
tana, is legally protected.
The foundation of this remarkable
medical discovery consists of simple
New England roots and herbs, and the
original family recipe for it has de-
scended to the long line OF Crosby
physicians from their Puritan ances-
tors. Its peculiar vegetable compost
ton rendered it necessary to brew it
whenever needed in the early days of
its history, and after the scattering OF
the Puritan families to remote locali-
ties, where the necessary ingredients
were not to be found, many attempts
were made to put it up in permanent
form, all of which failed until DR.. Dixi
Crosby discovered means and methods,
the result of which is: Natures Cure
