Spontaneous Explosion or liero-
sene Oil.
From a correspondent in Salem, Mass.,
we have received an account of the ex
plosion abd burning of kerosene oil in
that city, accompanied with the loss. of
one life, that of Mr.Vm. Gray. The cir
eumstances, as related in the local prints,
and in our correspondent' s letter; are
briefly these: The oil was being drawn
from a barrel in a portion of the store
separated from the other portion by au
iron door. Several buckets-full had been
, lrawn and emptied into a tin canister,
when it flashed up, instantly setting the
,tore on fire. This was the day time, about
noon. From one statement it is evident
the iron door was not closed until after
the fire occurred. It is claimed that there
was no fire of any sort in the vicinity of
the oil.
Our corresponlcnt desires to know if
kerosene can ignite and explode, without
the agency of fire. We answer: Decidedly
not. We befit . ° that a rigid investigation
into the circumstances of this occurrence
would show that open fire was in the
vicinity. The gas rising from some
qualities of kerosene is highly volatile,
explosive and inflammable, and fires have
occurred by its ignition at a distance of
forty feet from the oil which generated
aas.—Scientific American.
Discoveries of Frankliu Expedl-
tion.
The Captain and part of the crew of
the barque Antelope', of New Bedford,
which was lost of Niantelik Island on the
6th of October last, recently arrived ut
St. John's, in steamers,from Cumberland
inlet. The St. John's Commercial
journal says :
"The officers of the Antelope bring
interesting, -information of discoveries
made by Mr. C. F. Hall respecting the
Franklin expedition. Mr. Hall has in
his position a gold watch, some silver
spoons and other.relics supposed to have
belonged to the 'Franklin party He
also learned that the remains of some of
Franklin'T, men were lying under a boat
in Committee Bay, where they had been
placed by the natives after death. The
natives would not permit Mr. Hall to go
on and examine them, but as several
vessels will winter. in Repulse Bay, it is
believed Mr. Hall will secure assistance
and push his Way to -where the remains
are situated."
Keeping Apples.
A correspondent of the . Northwestern
Farmer gives his experience in his at
tempts to keep apples ,through the winter.
He tried various ways. He buried them
in the old-fashioned way in the .ground;
he put them in. boxes with alternate
layers of chaff, where they heated and
nearly all were lost by the bitter rot; he
put them in barrels with wheat screen
lugs, where they wilted, very much affect
ing the flavor; be then tried packing in
barrels, with alternate layers of forest
leaves and apples, and they kept well.
Some rambos, a variety well-known in
this region as not exactly. a winter apple,
kept well to the last of April. The
barrels were placed in a rather open _loft.
He continues to adopt this plan and has
no trouble from freezinr,
Cabinet Ilaking, and Undertaking.

THE GIitEAT
ZING-NRI BILCERS.
A Sere Preventative of
• C CD
THIS WONDERFUL REMEDY was discovered
and introduced about twenty years ago by Dr.
S. cheopits, an emineut,Egyptian physician.
He had long seen and felt the want of some reme
dy which would strike at the root of disease, and so
prevent much of the suffering which the human
family was then compelled to endure.
The great question was presented to his mind
every day in vivid colors as he moved among the
stek and dying, and observed .the inefficiency of
nearly all the remedies then in use. Thus ho MIS .
lead to think and experiment; and after ten years of
study and labor, he presented to his fellow-man the
wonderful Zingari Bitters. The effect of this prep
aration in the prevention and cure of disease, was
so marvellous and astonishing, - that the most flat
tering marks of royal favor were bestowed upon
Min who discovered it. His name WAS placed upon
the Roll of Nobles, and a gold medal with the fol
lowing inscription—Dr, Cheopsus, the Public Bene
factor—was presented to him by the Viceroy. •
,The preparation has been used in several epidem
ics of cholera, both as a preventive and curative
measure, and with such great success, that it has
been introduced into nearly all the general hospitals
of the old world.
The ola savtug that an ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure, applies with marvelous force
to cholera, and therefore any remedy that will pro
tect us against this terriblediseaso should. be freely
and persistentlyused.,
All pathologists now agree that the cholera poison
acts on the excretory organs,' and keeps diem in
working order, must prevent a sufficient accumula
tion dt the poison to exert its terrible effects on the
organism. This is true not only of elfidera, but of
nearly all other maladies, especially the different
forms of fever.
The Great Zingari Bitters is just such a remedy
as the ab.we conditions require. Its acts on the
organs of excretion and secro,tion,kecping up a per
fect balance between them. This Bitters is com
posed entirely of roots and herbs, so nicely con
cocted that every organ is acted upon and put in
tone. Its taste is pleasant and its effects prompt
and lasting.
• Numerous cases of the following disease have'
been cured by it: Cliolbra, Diarrhea:l, Dysentery,
Typhoid and Typhus Fever, Fever, • Ague, Nervous
Debility, Anaemai, Female Irregularities, Dyspep
sia, Flatulency, Code, Scrofula.

Cured. by Mashler's Herb Bitters !
Wben Mishler's Bitters were first intro-:
duced to the public the propriotor did not
feel justified in recommending it as a spe
cific for Cholera During the fall of 1865,
Dr. Mishler received the following note
!TOM. Jacob L. Baker, Esq., of Lancaster.
Pa., a member of the Philadelphia College
of Pharmacy. Mr. Baker had a great deal
of experience in the treatment of Cholera
is a druggist of sixteen years standingovas
Hospital Steward in the Jefferson Hospital,
Philadelphia, for three years, and is withal
a gentleman of undoubted integrity and
one in whose statement the most implicit
confidence can be placed :
. Lancaster, November 3d, ISGS.
Dr. illishler—Dear Sir:—Knowing that
the Cholera with its dreadful ravages is now
upon our land, and knowing that no medi
cine now in our country possesses such a
caloric influence "which is the vital reme
dy Ibr all diseases of this kind," as the
Bitters you now making I request you to
prepare such a quantity - of your bitter as
would suit all demands, as I assure you
they will be an invaluable remedy, and
will he hailed as a blessing by all who will
use it.
570,108,37
Being thus urged: and having noticed
the Bitters were constantly curing the most
violent cases of Diarrhoea, Cholera Morbus
and kindred complaints,Dr. Mishler at last
offered his compounds Lisa cure for Cholera
The result has exceeded his most sanguine
expectations and fully justifies all that Mr.
Baker says in his note. It certainly proves
that Mr. Baker's practical knowledge of
11-odic:lnc far exceeds that of most doctors
who too often dose their patients with de
leterious drugs on some absurd theory.—
For the purpose of showing that Mishler's
Herb Bitters will cure Cholera we give
below a few facts.
All intelligent persons who have investi
gated the origin of cholera, agree that it is
caused by poison introduced and generated
into the system by impure water, damp
ness, filth and over-crowded rooms with
deficient ventilation. This is proved by
the fact that cholera always rages worse
on board of ships where all of the above
(anises are found more or less combined.
To cure cholera, and also to prevent it,it is
necessary to neutralize this position, and
that Mistiler's Bitters will do this is proven
by the following :
The steamship Virginia '
arrived at the
Port of New York; about the middle of
April with chol4a a board a number of the
passengers having died during the voyage
with this complaint. Among the passen
gers were a family named Semith, from
Baden, Germany. This family was at
tackedwith cholera. Fortunately for them
they had friends living in this city (Lan
caster. Pa.,) who knew the virtues of Mish
ler's Bitters and who procured a bottle and
sent it to the Schmith family. When this
package arrived at Quarantine,the doctors
examined it and confiscated the contents.
Another bottle was procured and packed in
a more secure manner: itsalbly reached the
Schmiths. On its arrival aboard the Vir
ginia, Henry Solimita and Christ. Schmith
were both laboring under choleric symp
totns: Mrs. Marcia Schmith, wife 01 the
ibrmer was very bad, not expected to re
cover, and.a son had died of the dread com
plaint and had been buried theday previ
ous. it was in this plight a bottle of Mish
ler's Bitters, sent forth like an Angel of
Mercy found the poor Schmith family.—
Henry Schmith was the first to try it, and
so instantaneous :was the relief he experi
enced that he gave itiO nis wi lb and brother
both of whom it at once relieved. They
used the entire contentsof the bottle and
all three were so much relieved that the
physicians permitted them to leave the
Virginia, after being confined at quarantine
aboard that scourge ship forty-two says.—
The Schmiths proceeded to their relatives
in Lancaster, and at an early opportunity
called on Dr. Mishler to express their grati
tude for the timely relief they had found
in his Bitters. M"r Henry St:llmMh stated
that all the compounds the doctors had
given him did no good, but that one glass
of Mishler's Bitters made him feel like a
new man, warming his whole system,
giving hint a healthful heat and causing
him to perspire freely. His statement was
substantially was substantially as given
above. and he tarther said that if the: doc
tors had not kept the first bottle - from
reaching him, his son would yet hrve been
living. Mrs. Schmith was still weak from
the effect of cholera, but the continued use
of the Bitters were most surely restoring
her accustomed vigor.
It is not to be expected that regular M.
Ps. will admit - that any remedy not to be
found in the Dispensatory will care Chol
era or any other complaint, but candor
compels Dr. D. H. Bissell of the Cholera
Hospital ship " Falcon" to admit• that he
believes Mislaler's Bitters to be a " very
good Tonic." In reply as to a case of Bit
ters that was sent to him by a well known
gentleman of Lancaster, he writes as' fol
lows :
Hospital Ship Falcon,
Quarantin, New York,J une 7th, 1866.
George S. Rowbotham, Esq.— Dear Sir :
. Yours of the inst. is to hand. In re
ply, I beg leave to say, that I received the
case of Bitters you sent me for trial tt:c.,
that I gave them to the - convalescents in ,
Hospital. I believe them to be a very
good tonic Bitters, well adapted to all cases
requiring Tonic reraedies.
D. H. BISSELL, Physician,
Hospital Ship "Falcon."
This letter from Dr. Bisselljust after the
reception of the Bitters, and before he had
time and opportunity to thoroughly test
their wonderful medicinal properties is
considered an important endorsement, as
that gentleman to-day occupies the most
important position of any physician in
America. The passengers and crews o
emigrant and merchant vessels that arrive
in the Port of New York from foreign coun
tries,are subject to his inspection and-con
trol, and the great experience he has had
in the management of that dreadful dis
ease, Cholera, gives an endorsement by
him an unusual importance. This letter
together with the statement of the Schmith
family—who while in the Steamer Vir
ginia, were under Dr. Bissell's control,
shows what the Bitters have done and can
do.
Another case of Cholera cured by Mish
ler,s Herb Bitters is that of Mr. Pearsol of
York county, who,after suffering severely
from all the symptons or Cholera, finally
became collapsed and while in this state,
(the doctors stating that he Ix:v., beyond re
lief) a friend administered freely,Mishler's
Bitters. The effect wus instantaneous ;
heat ways generated' in the body, perspira
tion was induced and after using one bat
tle Mr. Pearsol was entirely restored.
"Mishler's Bitters cures Cholera by coun
teracting the poison which is the cause of
the disease. Poison in the system,whether
generated by bad air, filth, &e., as in
Cholera, or introduced by the bite of a
venomous snake or mad dog will be ex
pelled and all bad syniptons • allayed by
the use of Alichler's Herb Bitters. The
above proves this to be the fact in Cholera
and the certificate of Mr.Rhinehart proves
that INlishler's Billers will cure the bite of
a poisonous snake:
Lancaster, July 4th. 1865.
Mr. B. Mishler—Si r:—Abo u t eight weeks
since I was bitten in the left hand by a
snake, but at the time did not know of
what species it was. Immediately after
the bite n:l3r hand swelled to a very large
size, and the poison appeared to be work
ing up my arm. I suffered great pain in
my hand , and arm; I hikd to quit work and
wits afraid I would be compelled to, have
my hand amputated. I came to you, and
by your advice washed my .hand and arm
with your Herb Bitters at the same time
taking it inwardly. In eleven days I was
able to go to work again. The poison was
all drawn out anil k Mishler's Herb Bitters
was the only meffeine or application that
I made use of. Mr. Christian Burns, a
near neighbor of mine, went out a day or
two after to the place wliere I was ,bitten,
and killed what I believe- was the same
snake that bit me as he caught within five
yards of the spot where I was bitten. It
proved to be what is called acopper snake;
at any rate, whether it was the same one
that bit me or not—one, thing is certain—
that your Bitters cured the bite of a snake
in my case for which I shall ever be thank
ful, as I believe Awes the means of saving
my hand.

I shall bo pleased 'to personally satisfy
any ono of the truth of the above.

Ayer's Sarsaparilla
A compound remedy, designed to be the most
effectual Alterative that. can be made. It is
a concentrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla,
so combined with other substances of still
greater alterative power as to afford an effec
tive antidote for the diseases Sarsaparilla is
reputed to, cure. It is believed that such a
remedy is ; wanted by those who suffer from
Strumous-complaints, and that one which will
accomplish their cure must prove of immense
service to this large class of our afflicted fellow
citizens. How completely this compound will
do it has been proven by experiment on many
of the worst cases to be found of the following
complaints :
SCROFULA AND SCROFULOUS COMPLAINTS,
ERUPTIONS AND ERUPTIVE DISEASES, ULCERS,
PIMPLES, BLOTCIIES, Tti3IORS, SALT MIEUM,
SCALD HEAD, SYPHILIS AND SYPHILITIC AF
FECTIONS, MERCURIAL DISEASE, DROPSY, NEU
RALGIA On Tic DOULOUREUX, DEBILITY, DYS
PEPSIA. AND INDIGESTION, ERYSIPELAS, ROSE
on ST. ANTHONY'S FIRE, and indeed the whole
class of complaints arising from IMPURITY
TIIE BLOOD.
This compound will be found a great pro-.
motor of health, when taken in the spring, to
expel the foul humors which fester in the
blood at that season of the year. By the time-.
ly expulsion of them many rankling disorders,
are nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, by
the aid of this remedy, spare themselves from
the endurance of foul eruptions and ulcerous
sores, through which the system will strive to
rid itself of corruptions, if not assisfed to do
this through the natural channels of the body
by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the
vitiated blood whenever you find its impurities
bursting through the skin in pimples, eruptions,
or sores ; cleanse it when you find it is ob
structed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it
whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell
you when. Even where no particular disorder
is felt, people enjoy better health, and live
longer, for cleansing the blood. Keep the
blood healthy, and all is well ; but with this
pabulum of life disordered, there can be no
lasting health. Sooner or later something
must go wrong, and the great machinery of
life is disordered or overthrown.
Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, the
reputation of accomplishing these ends. But
the world has been egregiously deceived by
preparations of it, partly because the drug
alone has not all the virtue that is claimed
for it, but more because many preparations,
pretending to be concentrated extracts of it,
contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla,
or any thing else.
During late years the public have been mis
led by large bottles, pretending to give a quart
of Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most
of these have been frauds upon the sick, for
they not only contain little, if any, Sarsapa
rilla, but often no curative properties whatev
er. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment
has followed the use of the various extracts of
Sarsaparilla which flood the market, until the
name itself is justly despised, and has become
synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still
we call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend.
to supply such a remedy as shall rescue the
name from the load of obloquy which rests
upon it. And we think we have gronnd for
believing it has virtues which are irresistible
by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intend
ed to cure. In order to secure their complete
eradication from the system, the remedy should.
be judiciously taken according to directions on
the bottle.

assure the people its quality is kept up to the best
it ever has been, and that it may be relied on to
do for their relief all it has ever been found to do.
