% TIMOTHY- I AM A BUYKU OF FIRST-CLASS SAMPLES. ¥. FERRIMAN. FO il >AL E. STRONG 6HEEP NETTIJSG, WITH CENTRE STRAND. F. FERRIMAN The Portable Water Barrow. The latest number of the Nineteenth Century has an interesting article upon the dread scourge of DIPHTHERIA, and, in introducing the svbject, the writer remarks, that the latest epideibics in Russia swept away nearly all the children in some villages; and, in Prussia, no less than one sixth to one-fourth part of all children dying in the age of from one to five years succumbed to Diphtheria, and the game proportion prevailed in Western Europe as veil. Keen interest is being taken in the experiments of the French Doctors, Roux and Tersen ; but Diphtheria, like Anthrax, Cholera, Typhoid, Malaria and other kindred complaints is due to an infection of the body by special bacteria, caused by the effluvia rising from drains, back yards and premises generally into and upon which dairy and kitchen slopshave been thrown. Without an inflection by Bacteria or the poisons which they secrete, there is nodiphtheria. The Portable Wash Barrow is just the one thing indispensable in the direction of perfect sanitary arrangements. By its use, a two-fold benefit is derived. The fever and diphtheria breeding agencies are removed, and what is otherwise a source uf terror becomes an absolute gain, by conveying the wash to the pig trough or to the garden. The Portable Barrows can be put to various kinds of use, and they are so admirably constructed that, with them, a child can do work which otherwise requires the strength of mature years. The cost is comparatively small. Possession of one becomes an absolute means of sweetness, comfort and profit. IMPROVED COPPER BOILERS. I have just received direct from the manufacturers a supply of Portable Copper Boilers, with Patent Smoke Stack Joint, and Semi-double Sheeted Frame—Galvanised.- This Vseful Household Bequisite should be inspected, when its various excellencies of construction, strength and serviceableness, will speak for themselves.
