The success of the Mason & Hamlin Organ Com pany, now the largest manufacturers of instruments of this class in the world, producing and finding a demand for an average of one hundred and twenty five organs per week , illustrates what can be done by energetic and persevering pursuit of right prin ciples in business. The following are what might be said to be Articles of their Constitution, kept al ways in view and never deviated from. 1. Excellence in the manufactured article must never be' sacrificed to economy and cost. The best, only and always, 2. No degree of superiority shall be considered satisfactory as long as improvement is possible. 3. The use of every valuable invention and real improvement must be obtained at whatever cost. 4. Productions to be sold at lowest possible pri ces ; these to be printed and offered to all alike, thus dealing-fairly and impartially with the public. This company have expended an immense amount in experiments for improvements,, in which they have been greatly successful, developing, enlarging, improving and adding to the well known Melodeons of former times, until they have become the mag nificent Mason & Hamltn Cabinet Organs of the present, to which was awarded the Paris Exposition Medal for superiority last year. They have just introduced an important improve ment, the Mason & Hamlin Improved Vox Hu mana , a beautiful invention, which is said to be as great an advance upon the Vox Humana already used as the Cabinet Organ is upon the Melodeou. They also announce important reduction in prices, offering their unequalled Organs at prices which are even less than those commonly demanded for inferior workmanship. This ip the natural result of their greatly increased facilities for manufacture, and fixed rule to sell at small profit.— N, Y. Tribune, Spit, Spit; Hawk, Hawk.

ITS MYSTERIES It must be admitted by every rational mind that tbe man who contribute* the most toward promoting the happiness and welfare of the human race must of necessity be the most highly esteemed by his fellow-men; and acting upon this principle it appears that Prof. R. L. Hamilton, of New York, ha«, by patient investigation and vast experience, solved the uncertain question in relation to the vexed and important subject of Inver complaint and other chronic disease. It will he remembered by the readers of this paper that, a few days ago, Dr. Hamilton’s Theory of Liver, Lung, and other disea ses, was published in connection with many other vital facts, in which all diseased persons are interested. Many wonderfnl cures were published from all parts of the country. Others erf a start ling and interesting character are given below, which it seems to ns are evidences thatcanoot be questioned for a mome.it. and we ad vise those who are Buffering from the diseases he makes a specialty of, to write their lull symptoms and get Professor Hamilton's opinion and advice at once. STRONGLY CORROBORATED! I TO THB AFFLICTED EVERYWHERE. During my labors In publishing and editing a newspaper for many years in this city, and also in the performance of my datiea as a clergyman in this and other cities, I have become thoroughly and intimately acquainted with R. Leonidas Hamilton, M. D, the justly celebrated Liver, Lung, and Blood Physician of this city, who is located at No. 546 Broadway. The doc&or was for many years a regular practising physician, and also for rotne years a professorin one of our beet medical schools, and during such ex tensive experience, he fally realized the inadequacy of the ordi nary treatment made use of in all chronic diseases, more especially that clasß of troubles arising from deranged functions of the Liver and digestive organs. He at once set himself about the study of the class of disoases, determined to make them a specialty. Laying the vegetable world under tribute, he has made discovories and compounded specifics on sou d philosophical principles which have made the most wonderful cures in the an nals of.medicine. Liver, Blood, Lung and Nervous diseases, are now virtually under his full control and yield to the magic, sabtle power of his remedies. I have myself seen numbers of those who have been saved from the hind of death by his power, when the unfortunate sufferers seemed doomed to an early grave, and all other treatment was of no avail. In addition to what I can vonch for personally, I have ample evidence from other clergymen, phy sicians and eminent men of the highest character, who have also been saved by this wonderful treatment, and who speak in the highest praise and gratitude of Dr. Hamilton as a physician and a gentleman of honor and integrity. It is simply stating the posi tive truth when Isay that it is well known throughout this country that where his works are kuown and the fruits ol his skill have been witnessed, he is highly esteemed by the people as the most eminent and remarkable physician in the treatment of chronic diseases of the age. As the result of a long personal and familiar acquaintance with Prof. Hamilton and his unparaleled success as a professional man of the highest order, I frankly express the hof e that di eafed humanity in every part of our land may avail themselves of. bis most remarkable skill, and thussh&re the noble bia sings so kindly and freely bestowed upon all. Most respect fully, THE WORK GOES BRAYELYiON! Another Clergyman Cubed! ! The eminent divine, Rev. J, W. Hinkley, of Athens, Mint*, writes: “My health has so far improved from the effects of your treat ment that I able to resume my pastorship. . ffad it not bem for your medictrit I should not have been living note. To you, with God’s blessing, do I owe my worldly existence. lam a living ex ponent of the worth of your matchless temedies, and I shall hei eafter deem it a part of my religions duty to recommend all suffering with disease# of the Liver or Lungs to speedily apply to you. May God’s blessing attend your worthy efforts foe the relief of diseased and suffering humanity. CONCLUSION. > It would seem to us thßt, after carefully looking over the evi dence given above, all reasonable persons must he led to the con elusion that there can be no good reason for doubting the fact that Db. Hamilton is just what he is represented to be—a very successlnl physician in the treatment of Chronic Diseases. It ■& useless to cry “ humbug,” for the above parties have volunteered to give their evidence tor the benefit or the suffering, and for no other purpose. All of these testimonials are genuine—are guar anteed to be so, in fact—and it Is ea-y to writ* to them, and get from their own pens the tacts Any of them will answer all in quiries of this character, either in person or by letter. Prof. Hamilton has now in press and n-arly ready a pamphlet containing a biographical sketch of hie remarkable life, with' a fine lithogtaph picture of himself. This book also contains a complete history of Prot. H.’s wonderful cures—his thepry of diseases, and the only natural, safe and positive treatment for all chronic dis eases—a valuable work for everybody.. Sjbni? Free.
