Price, 4fr. Prepared only by SWAN N, CHEMIST, 12, Rue Castiglione, Paris. 7 226 The latest American invention. —j THE VICTORY OP 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 ehi. problem has till now not been sojved, Is that 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 Mace, or by large machinery, instead of first laying down the principle that* lamp ■which should over become generally use ful and popular, must be portable, like an oil lamp, and contain the generator of electricity in itself, i e., in the foot of the lamp. The Norman Electric Light Co, has at ,Mt succeeded in completely realising this <iesl of electric lighting, and there is no doubt that Ibis most important invention will bring abont a complete revelation in all branches of lighting. Oar electric lamp needs neither machi nery, conductors, nor any expensive cut day, and is 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 lighting will be as cheap as gas (f cento per hour), and it baa before the latter the immense ad vantage of neither producing heat, smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to which the air is not imposed, and remains at the same degree of It is, farther, absolutaly inodorous, , and does not need to be kindled by match or otherwise, but simply by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger of fire, explosion or suffocation, ns in the case of gas, if the key is left open ; and It most be conceded that this Advantage alone is Invaluable. It is fur ther preferable to any known kind of fghting for the following reasons:— L its manipulation is so simple that any child can keep it in order. ■v 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 filing of the wick, or the cleaning of the cylinder, as in the case of oil lamps. 4. That the light produced Is a soft and most steady one \ that it never dickers, and the flime, though being equal in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated to mf degree. . , 5. 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 ahonld be broken. 6. That it will bum, even in the strong est wind, completely unaffected, thus be ing invaluable for illuminations, lighting of gardens, corridors, etc. This lamp is constructed for the present In three different sizes:— 4, small size. Height of complete lamp',’ 14 incues j weight, about 5 lbs; for fighting rooms, cellars, storage houses, powder magazines or similar places where expiosives.are kept, coaches, illuminations, . gardens, mines, or any other industrial purpose.

Deab Fkiinds— We have some hesita tion in addressing yon in the manner fol lowing, bnt hope that it will not be looked at in any invidious light, when we state that it is only oar tegard for your health that causes us 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, la only to note the extraordinary amount of the sales of our Haydook s New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydook’s New Liver Pills. The reason of this de mand is because we find in Haydook’ a New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination c£ 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 diseased and claiming much as to their merit, the remark Jble dis covery of Dr Hayduck has eclipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys tem. The Doctors, whose vast doses of four or five pills 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.
