mHE LATEST AMERICAN I INVENTION. THE VICTORY OF ELECTRICITY. Since Electricity has been applied for lighting purposes,' all efforts of inventors have been directed to construct a lamp for general domestic use. The reason why problem has till now not been solved, is none of the inventors could rid themselves of the idea of gas lighting, and that all have adhered to the system of producing the electricity in some central place, or by large machinery, instead of first laying down the principle that a lamp which should ever become generally use ful anH popular, must be portable, like an oil lamp, and contain the generator of electricity in itself, t.e., in the foot of the lamp. The‘Nprman Electric Light Co. has at last succeeded in completely realising this deal of electric lighting, and there is no doubt that this most important invention will bring about a complete revolution in all branches of lighting. Oor electric lamp needs neither machi nery, conductors, nor any expensive out day, |s neither complicated, nor dis agreeable in manipulation; all that is necessary is to refill it every four or five days with acid. The cost of fighting will be as cheap as gas (f cents per boar), and it has before the latter the immense ad vantage of neither producing heat, smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to which the air is not impnred, and remains at the same . degree of, temperature. It is, further, absolutely inodorous, and does not need to be kindled by match or otherwise, bnt simply by taming the key, thus avoiding all danger of fire, explosion or suffocation, os in the case of gas, if the key is left open ; and it must be conceded that this advantage alone is invaluable. It is fur ther preferable to any known kind of ighting for the following reasons:— 1. Its manipulation is so simple that any child can keep it in order. 2.. That the lamp, is portable, and can be removed like any oil lamp from one place to another 8. That it neither requires the disagree able fixing of the wick, or the cleaning of the cylifider, as in the case of oil lamps. 4. That tbe light produced is a soft and moat steady one; that it' never flickers, and the flame, though being equal in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated to any degree. , 6. That every danger of fire is abso lutely excluded, as the light will extin guish immediately, if by any accident the glass surrounding the burner should be broken. , , 6. That it will bum, even in the strong est wind, completely unaffected, thus be log invaluable for illuminations, fighting of gardens, corridors, etc. Ibis lamp is constructed for the present in three different sizes : A, small size. Height of complete lamp, 14 incnes ; weight, about 5 lbs ; for lighting rooms, cellars, storage houses, powder magazines or similar places where explosives t are kept, coaches, illuminations, gardens, mines, or any other industrial purpose. Price, LI per lamp, delivered free to any part of the world. B, medium size. Serves all domestic purposes for fighting rooms, houses, etc. T’h>s lamp is elegantly decorated, and has removable white ground glass globe. Price, per lamp (inclusive of bronze loot and globe, richly and elegantly con structed, L2 ; delivered free to any part of the world. . C, Grand size for parlor, hall, saloon, public building, etc. Tbe lamp gives a most brilliant and steady light, baa large removable white globe, decorated most tastefully, and the workmanship Is both first-class and elegant. Price, L 4 10s. Foot of lamp in either bronze, Japanese, Faience or Silver Oxide, Any special size or design made to order. Js-stimates famished. All lamps are ready for immediate use, and will be sent, securely packed in strong wooden box, with printed directions for use, a quantity of chenricals sufficient tor several months’ lighting, and one extra burner for size A, and two for sizes Band 0. Tbe necessary chemicals can be par chased in any drug store, in even the malleat village. Every Ihmp Is accompanied by a written narantee for one year, and will be ex isnged, or money refunded, if the same lonld not give complete satisfaction. On all orders for six lamps and above, discount of six pet cent will be allowed, ’o orders from abroad filled, unless ac >mpaniai* by a remittance to cover the mount, or first-class references on a New drk or Philadelphia house. The best method of sending money is by raft on New York, which can be pro. ued at any banker, and everywhere, or »?!<>■« the amount in bank notes, gold )ins, or postage stamps of any country Ethe world. All orders, the smallest, as well as tbe test important, will receive the same irtieolar attention, and will be forwarded ithont delay. ~, , Oar electric lamps are protected by law, ,4 all imitations and infringements will i prosecuted. . . * * Agents, salesmen on commission, id consignees for our lamps, wanted reiywbere- Ho special kfiovleogo or be made by active per.

Medical 0 H E WORD. Dear Friends —We have acme hesita tion in addressing yon in the manner fol lowing, hot hope that it will not be looked at in any invidious light, when we state that it U only our regard for your health that causes ua to do it. We have been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for many, many years and have in the long course of this time manufactured certain Medicines that being based on scientific formula and absolute care and precision in manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far in advance of any other Pharmaceuti cal Preparations of the day. How suc cessful we have been in this, is only to note the extraordinary amount of the sales of our Haydock a New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Baydock’s New Liver Pills. The reason of this de. mand is because we find in Baydock' a New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The Victories of Science— Electric Telegraphs, Steam and Printing —revolutionised the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet ter. So, although there are countless Pills used for diseases and claiming much as to their merit, the remark *We dis covery of Dr Haydock has eclipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys tem. The Doctors, whose vast doses of four or five pilia enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with one or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay dock’s New Liver Pills suffices to place the stomach In perfect order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affected its func tions are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it is Invigorated and | sustained. TRANSLATION.

I am happy to aayjyour Pulmonic Elixir afforded my wife and children almost im mediate relief in coughs and colds, and many to whom I have had the pleasure of recommending your specific have spoken of it as invaluable. In one case when every remedy tried was powerless to give relief (the cough was so distressing) the first dose of yonr Elixir proved most effective. In another case (sore throat) a cure was soon brought about that the patient resolved In the future to .take no* thing else. Other oases could be cited, but these will be sufficient to show that your Pul monic Elixir Is a remedy of no mean order. From 0. F.
