Paper and Its Manufacture from Wood at
I'liliadelphia.
If the question wera put, Vht alnifle trtiolo has
been ol the rreatet se-vloe to mankind?" mature
reflection would, we think, decide upon papr n
that rtiolo, eince it ha boon the m-ans by which
thought and ideas have been diffitod, not only
among contemporaries, but preserved, and, as
it were, accumulated in magazines for future ex
pansion and growth. All otiior Inventions, and
perhaps the holo erowth oi civilization, are
due to tho material of paper. Every branoh
of knowledge K reached, and every avouue
to the wisdom of groat mind, and the rosuits
& genius are exp ored only by moans of
paper, and it blessings are diffused through all
ranks ol society, Line almost all great bbss.
ings, however, It has beon dcvolopod most ra
pidly in the 'Tni'ed Siatos. Almost a 1 vegetable
substances were us.id .or the manufacture of
paper by our ancestors, but it wa not until the four
teenth century ibat linen ran bocamo generally the
matonal. The first liermnn papor mill was estab
lished at Norcmborg 1399; some nrlish manu
ecri Is, however, date as tar back as 1310, on linon
paper. Tho first English mill montioned is in 1496,
by John Tate, Jr , in Hertlordshi' e. In 1083 a paper
mill was started at Darti'ord. It is to bo ooncjivud,
however, that in that age, wnon books and news
papers wore little used, and wall were drapod with
Cloth, that paper nu not liiucll tn domand, and
many improvdineuu were not made In tht tnauu
iscture. the tirst paper mill that has been dis
covered in Atiieiicawaa Uiatot William Kitting
liuvsin, at Itoxborougn, near rhiladulptua, In
low. on what is now called Crusham crook. Mr.
J. M. Wiiloox, of this citr, statd i li at iu U2o his
grandlaiher, who bad been eilucatod a eapor maker,
came over iud sett ed whoie tho mill now is, in
Delaware countv, and erected iu 17.'2 a mill lor the
manuiacturo of paper. There wore at that nine two
other mills in inosamo business, oue near lliMlon
and another near f hila.ie plua. 1'ne demaud lor
paper at that time, either lor books or newspapers,
was email, nnd not of a character to attract mucu
capital into tho business. When tne war came on
a uemand sprung np, and Mr. Wiiloox manufactured
the paver lor tne continental money, and at the same
tune commonood making writing paper for the first
time in America.
Messrs. Charles Sfagargo and J. M. YVlllcox, of
this City, may now be regarded as t ie veterau papor
makers ol the country, and have always dosorvedly
ma ntainod their position at the head ol their pro
lessioii. Ibe Massachusetts Bay Assembly, In 1723, pasiod
n act tor ihe encouragomeut oi the paper manu
lactuio. lhey giauied to Daniol Honohnian and
others tho ritrht ot mak.ng pat or, on condition that
within the first Alteon months they would make 110
reams ot brown paper and 69 roams or printing
paper Ol this the lloeru oi Uadu report ot 1731
eae: 'Hi a paper mil i set up three years ao they
make to the value of X2U0." This, with the mill of
WnlcoxanU another near l'niiadeipdia, wero the
only ones existing at that, time; but thu traito grew
to a considerable extent, t'oxo, in his "Views of
the United Mates " save there were in 1791 forty.
eiirht mills in l'ennsylvai'ii. Iu 1810 tho value of
paper mude in the United States was about
$2,000,000. Tho General Government, irom its
oripin, did wbat it couid to encourage tho manufac
ture by making rags free. Curiously enough, how
ever, alter the (all ot IS'apo'eon, a consiaorao e quan
tity ot paper came to thiB couu'ry, und was bought
up by the contracinis to s tpply Congress, nnd for a
long time, up to 1825, the paper uud by the Uuited
fe tales t-enate bore tho water line, 'Mupo.oou, Em
peror ot Koi, 1H13."
From the date of the Revolution until the year
1820, there was very little improvement in tho made
ot making paper by machinery, the number of
ml Is increased iu proportion to the demand for
material for newsuapers and book-making. This
grew iu sue ii a manner that by the year 1910 the
ordinary supply of material lor paper makin oegan
to tail, and rags irom Europe were imported in
greater quantities lor that purpose.
It may be remarked that the export of linon rags
has been recently prohibited iroui Holland, Bel
gium, France. Spain, and l'ortu?'. The import
from Italy has been neailv seventy por cent. Ibe
rags thenoe derived are mostly linon which had
been used for outer garments, and which have be
come whitened by exposure t sun and air. . That
cii cunstance formerly nave them a va'uo which
they have lost since the improvements in bleaching
all descriptions. The linen rags from tne noith of
Furopo aie stronger and darker. The au inti y of
rags used in the United Sta'es in 1850 was, accord
ing to the value reoortcd in the census, nearly
200,000,000 pound, and 20,696.875 uounds wore im
ported in that year. 1 be Importation has, it apoears,
since more thau doubled, and it is estimated tuat
tie quantity used is over 400 000 000 pounds ; and as
one and a half pounds of ragB give ont pound of
paper, too product would bo 270 003.000 pounds.

At various times the) e have been serious appre
hensions ibat the supply of rags would tail, aud
various researches were entered npon by ingenious
individual! to find substitutes, A book wntton in
Germany by M. eehaeti'er, so long ago as 1772, con
tains sixty speoimons ot paper made ot different ma
terials. Ibis ingenious person made paper from the
willow, beeoh, aspen, hawthorn, lime, and mulberry;
from the down ol the asoleplas, the calkins of black
poplar, and the tendrils of the vine ; irom the stalics
ot nettle, mugworr, dyer's weed, thistle, byrony,
burdock, clematis, willow-herb, and lily ; from oab
bage stalks, fir-cones, moss, wood shavings, and saw
dust. Paper has boen likewise made from straw,
bopblnd, licorice root, the stalks of the mallow, and
the husks ot Indian corn.
Our limits will not permit us to refer to the
numerous inventions iu this line since ejohaulHir's
day.
Mr John W. Dixon, of this city, has, without
doubt, been the most iuco""alul, up to the prcsont
tune, in the practioal introduction ot the manufac
ture oi paper irom wood and straw. The advantages
ol his processes consist in avoiding tho large con
sumption of chemicals, aud the extensive evapo
rating apparatus, oover.ng acres of ground, required
in other wood pulp establishments, and wliioh ren
der their process too expensive lor genoral use. Mr.
Dixon has obtained sixteen patents, and has lioensod
the firm of J. D. Heit & Co. (of which firm Mr.
Dixon is a member i, ol this city, whose works are
located opposite Manayunk. This fim has been in
full operation under bis patents ince July, 1865, and
have manulactuied over a million pounds of paper
from wood and straw. The daily production is now
about seven thousand pounds per day. Sixty per oent.
of the pulp contained in tne papor iipouwhlcn the 7t
truirer is Printed was manufactured from minis r
wood, by J D. llelt & C o , at their works, under tho
patouted process oi Air. Dixon.
The wood paper mil of Messrs J D. Heft & Co ,
located at the western end of the Mauavuuk Toll
Bndvo, Is a feature in its way, perhaps unsurpassed
in interest in inu uimeu ouiies.
The manufacture of paper from common forest
wood has occupied the ationtion of those interested
in paper making tor some time but it remained for
tne estaD lsnment inent onea to oring tne art to its
greatest perlc cton.
As ttated, these mills are of a very extensive char
acter. and built in a remarkably substantial manner
i hoy are four stories in height, composed of massive
blocks ol stone, and erec ted on a strong and durable
foundation. Ihe foundation wa ls are Beveral met
in thickness, a portion of which 1b oompo-ed of an
immensely thick abutment ot bridge beiouing to
the Heading Railroad which runs direotly post the
western end ot the mills.
A stranger entenug these mills without a guide
would soon lose himself among a labyrinth of
apartment..-, a 1 used in the different proou-ses of
manufacturing wood aud St. aw paper. An immense
number of hands are employed in the est jblihmmt
.Some idea ot ibo cai aoity oi the mills may he in
ferred from the.iact that aoout seven thousand
Dounds of paper are daily manufactured.
The making of this paper was commenced at these
mil's in Julv. l&m ano me mauuiacture ot the same
lias been reduced to the highest suite of perfection
In an article like the piesent, which must of neces
sity be circumscribed iu length, a comuloto duscriD
tion oi these mills cannot be given. Such a doscrio
tion would 11:1 a small volume.
Let us make a hasty tour of the Interior, and soe
what we find at a rouirli clanoe.
BE taring the mills by the southern door we are
eight red n o a spacious apartment, in which wh find
coids upon cords ol rough-bewn timber. In the
centre i f this apartment is an elaborate machine
uvd for outline tliiEB logs ot wood into tluu chips
or shavings I ho logs are 'aid in a strong wooden
trough, at one end ofwlich Is affixed several large
knives or cuiters, wLkh woiks tv ingeniously ar
ranged machinery conuected with it. The log is
pressed avninst these knives, and the shavings, or
chips, lali thick and fast on tho other side. Those
chins ai-o conveyed to a verv lariie store-room over
heud, which presents the appearance of hillocks of
chips piled up in all directions. Adioimnt the store
ronm Is another of cquul nine, in which cut straw is
stored in 'urge quantities, which is used in connec
tion with the wood in the manufacture of the paper.
Adjoining these store-rooms on tho north Is an
apartment which displays the tops ot the immense
"tligODters" used for the purpose of courortiug, the
chips end straw into puip. The wood and straw,
after bring cut, ft snovelld through two large
troughs that connect the storage-room with the ad
Joining one, containing the tops or the "digesters."
The raw material pours in, cascade style, through
these troughs, and through the upertures at the too
ot tho "digeotnrs" into the body oi th same, and
alter undergoing a variety ol transtormations the
pa p is obtained, which, before undergoing the
bleaching process, Is ot a very light brown hae, and
Is taken to the rag engine to be washed. (Another
apartmen', denominated the bleaohing room, is wo,l
sion d with chemicals of difloront kinds, and con
tains huge iron tanks, used In the preparatory
bleachin process. After nnde'going the bleaching
oieration the pu'p looks about as muoh like the
original wood or straw aa it resembles a steam
engine. I' is soft and downy in appearanoo, and as
white as the driven snow. In this lortu it is con
fided to 'he rare of those having charge oi ihe pro
cms of transferring it into whi'e paper, of great
duiabi i y and flni-h finish.
The - dices era" in Messrs. Heft k Co 'a mi ls are
capable of turning out six thousand pounds of pulp
per diem. I be above is a simplo out mo aoacrption
of an establishment lor the manufacture of wood
paper, which reflect gieat credit on Its projectors,
and is an honor to our city.

For the Treatment of Acuta and Gbroalo
' IMneaaen,
Electrloal investigation has proved that tbe human
body acta on tbe principle of the galvanic battory
The brain, mucous and serous membranes, the skin'
tissues, and fluids, constitute the negative and positive
forces. Every cction, whether mental or physical, Is
the result of these antagonistic forces. Digestion1
respiration, circulation, secretion, and excret on are
due solely to 1 leotrlcal Influence. There Is a polar
action estab'lshed throughout thonervotu system which
connect with every part of the bodr. establishing and
preserving a prefer balance of the electrical element,
which constitutes health, and a disturbance of which
causes dbease. 1 bore are strictly bat two conditions of
olsease one of Inflammation, or positive i the other
weak, debilitated negative) and as Electricity contains
these two conditions In the action of the positive and
negative oorrenu, all we have to do is to neutralize
the disease and restore proper healthy action.
We do not wish to convey tbe Improsslon; that we
cure all diseases in all conditions. We cannot cure
consumption after tbe lungs are all destroyed; yet we
do assert, and are prepared to practically demonstrate,
that hundreds oi cases of almost every lorm of chronlo
diseases, pronounced Incurable by the best medical
practitioners of the country, have boen radical y
cubed, some ot thorn In an Incredibly short time, by
our Electrical treatment Its great superiority over
other practice tn the cure of disease is a so attested In
the Tact that, within the past dve yoars, over younTgEW
TUOCSAHD patients have been treated at this office,
suffering Irom a most evoiy form and condition
of disease common to humanity, and la nearly all case
a benefit or perfect cure has been eflucted. Palsy, deaf
ness, blindness, rheumatism, dyspepsia, cancer, and
all the old knotty diseases that are a physlcl an's curse,
as It proves his Inability to eradicate, are bv our scion
tlflo method comparatively easy of cure. Specimens of
tumors ol large growth extracted by means of Elec
tricity alone, without pain, without the oso of the
kn lie, ligatures, or any other means, may b seen at
