EIGHTH AISnXXJAIt KEFOBT OF THE BOARD OF INSPECTORS or THE LANCASTER T3OUNTY PRISON, FOB THE 7EAB XB6B. To the Honorable the Judge# of the Court of Quarter Sutiont of Lancaster County . THE undersigned, in pursuance of law, snbmtt to the Court the following Report of the Prison for the jeer ending November SO, 1868: On the Soth Nor., 16ff7,there wereinconflneinent_ 103 prisoners. In thenoone.of the peer there were Making the aggregate of thelnmetee of Prisonin' w Of these the following , were discharged daring the year, vi*:■ By expiration of sentence and by Inspector*,.---MO ByMaglstmte*, DistrietAttoniey, Court andHs-. _ bees Corpus...... ;J67-697 Leering in confinement Nor. 80th, 1668, 190 Of these (ISO) 62 ere oonrlcU at labor, 16 awaiting trial, 6 for non-payment of costs, and S 8 vagrants. Of the 616 received daring the year, 96 were .convicted. The namber committed to Prison daring the year, ex* cep ting those convicted, was 619 (67 more than last year), of which 599 were for vagrancy, drunkenness and disorderly conduct. In addition to the 619, there were sentenced daring the same period 96, and remaining in Prison on the 30th November, 1867, 103, -making the above total in Prison daring the year 717. Of the 697 prisoners discharged, 11 were sent to the Eastern Peni tentiary, 7to the House of Refage, 6 to the Lancaster County Hospital, 3 were pardoned by the Governor, 3 were hanged, 2 escaped and 2 died. Of the 96 sentenced - prisoners, 3 were convicted for morder, 49 for larceny, 1 for forgery, I for libel, 2 for assault and battery with intent to kill, and{the residue for offences of lower grades. There were 31 more prisoners sentenced to imprisonment la the County Prison this year than the previous one. Of the 96 convicts, 17 were sentenced fora period exceed ing one year, and one for 10 years; 28 were colored, and 68 white; a larger'proportion of colored than the previous year; among the number were 9 white females. But 41 of the convicts were born In Lancaster dty and county* and 28 in foreign countries. 62 of the 96 convicts are under SO years of age, and one Is of the remarkable age of 102 years. 15 of,the 96 are females, and 81 males, and of the 81, but 37 had trades prior to the conviction. 14 are old offenders and 82 are receiving punishment for their first offence; The 99 convicts were occupied as fol lows— 19 in weaving carpets, (against 26 the year pre vious,) 2 in weaving bagging, 10 making cigars, 6 making shoes, 3 knitting fish nets, and 9 making baskets. 19 of the 96 could not read, and 41 could not write; a larger proportion of those who coaid not write than the previ ous fear. 66 of the 96 are unmarried. 78 of tbe convicts were of intemperate habits; a larger proportion of the Intemperate than any previous year. The whole number of prisoners received since the opening of tbe Prison, September 12th, 1861, to Novem ber 80th, 1858, was 3,437 ; 2J>B5 white males, 335 white females, 363 colored males and 64 colored females. The health of the prisoners daring the year was toler ably'good, no epidemic or many dangerous diseases having prevailed. The number of cases treated was 162 being in the ratio of tOO cases treated to every 443 pris oners. Two prisoners died daring the year. Two prisoners have escaped in the coarse of the year, one of whom, John Decker, has been eaptnred and is now serving oat his anexpired term, while the other, Henry Jones, a colored man awaiting trial, was arrested in Chester oonnty shortly after his escape, and there held In Prison to complete an'nnexplred term of confinement to which he had been sentenced, and from which prison he had also escaped. This man had also broken out of the Lehigh County Prison previous to his Incarceration in oars, and is of coarse subject to a requisition from the authorities of that county, after whioh he will be de tained upon tbe complaint preferred against him here, and remanded for trial, shonid he not again do as he did before, viz: break prison and escape. The caoses or means of escape of these prisoners may be thus described: The first, John Decker, a basket maker, was permitted to have access to tbe yard in day time, between breakfast and sapper hoars, for the pur pose of preparing and soaking willows, and otherwise fitting them to be wrought Into baskets, which conveni ences cannot be afforded In a cell. To expedite business, the back doors of the cell were opened, by which coarse the distance to the water in the yard was shortened half, and thorough ventilation was also given to the cell. Tbe dntv of oloslng these back doors thus far, viz., to May 24th, had devolved upon one of the Under-Keepers, who had on tbe day previons, viz : May 23d, Saturday afternoon, asked and received permission of the Keeper, to be absent until Monday morning following: by his absence, doable dnty devolved on the remainingander keeper, and from the pressure of unforeseen business of the day, together with doable duty to perform, the act of closing ontside doors was unavoidably postponed to a later boar than uanal, and daylight bad partly disap peared. Meantime this prisoner, (who is a man of no mean sagaolty and cunning) had pulled together the outside door carefully, without latohlng it, which latoh was ou the outside, and when latched would have been impossible for him to have opened again : tbe door be ing closed, tbe nnder-keeper when he approached it and having but an Imperfect light to see by, and under the impalse of necessary haste also, concluded that the Watchman had locked it, as he sometimes volunteered to do: but here lay the error, and by this mistake the door remained unlocked. During the uight the prisoner gathered enough of small fragment* of waste yarn and other similar material, deposited in a compost heap in the garden, together with remnantejof basket timber and fish net bows, (none of which sticks were more than 2 feat and some 18 inches long,) to make a ladder with which he scaled tbe wall. The Telegraph Alarm upon the parapet wall had been accidentally discharged the day before by a prisoner while white washing around it, and unbeknown to the keeper, or a any of his assis tants, so that there was really no obstacle to his escape. This Prisoner was advertised by Hand Bills and Newspaper. And a Reward of $5O offered for his re tarn, which was effected on the 31st of Jnly. The other prisoner effected his escape by the aid of a defective door, which door is the inside one at the back end of his cell and is opened by sliding back Into the wall; thiß door Is heavily sheeted with iron and is mainly depended upon for safety, the outer door being constructed simply of Ash Plank 1% laches -thick, without being sheeted or in any manner made proof against the most common cutlery. The defective door, the inside one, was confined in its plaoe by a bolt run ning through a hasp or strap of iron which ran hori zontally across the door, and extended some 10 Inches beyond the edge and farther into the wall, and com pletely beyond the view of any one; this hasp or pro jecting strap of iron which contained the hole for the bolt and shonid bays prevented its removal, was found after the prisoner’s escape to have been completely broken off close up to the door, so that no bolt hole remained by which to fasten at all; And the fractured part remaining showed clearly an old break, while the other portion was no where to be found, showing con clusively that It had long been lu that condition. Such being tbe oondltiou of the inside door, it had no fasten ing at all and was of coarse opened without resistance. The next obstacle In the way was the wooden door out side. This prisoner was oonflned in a cell containing a loom, and as it is customary to furnish each loom with some sort of knife for weaving purposes, so one had been left stioking lu tbe loom, which had been in use bat 2or 3 days before Jones came into prison; this knife was tbe veriest stump of an old shoe knife, and with It he cut out the panel of the dooro% inches wide, and about 14 inches long, through which ire passed into the yard When in the yard be built a staging from some building material which was being ÜBed then in roofing over a cell yard for a shop. That It was not carelessness or negligence to leave this material in the yard will readily be understood when it is stated that it was only carried there the day before and required bat a oonple of days or three at most to complete the job and that there was not room to store aud lock it up; It was absolutely necessary to have the material cm ▼enient to the work. As before, singularly misfortn nate the telegraph alarm had been discharged and ran down by a prisoner white-washing around It a day before and not heard by any of the officers of the prison, consequently no alarm was given when he scaled the wall. This prisoner escaped about nine o’clock in the evening and while the keeper was confined to his bed by sickness. Up to the present time the rules and regulations of the Prison had not specified or described what the pre cise dnty of the Watchman consisted of, it did not even generalize them, much less point out any precise act which he was to perform. No requirement existed to patrol outside of the prison at any time nor had it ever been practiced, and the Watchman performed each duties and in each manner as had always been done from the inangnaration of the Prison. It having now become apparent to ns that it Is the ontside of the Prison that moat requires the watchman’s attention, as it is there the breaks are always made and never inside. We have prescribed the Watchman’s dnty to walk en tirely around the ontside of the prison once every half hoar of the night, and to occupy at least five minutes in every snch patrol. By carefnlly discharging this dnty, we feel confident that with proper diligence In all the other departments, It will be morally Impossible for prisoners hereafter to escape. We are happy to state however, that a comparison with other prisons and Jails all over the county does not humiliate ns in this respect. The prisoners who escaped from us were shrewd and accomplished felons, who bad repeatedly escaped from several other prisons: and the nnmber of our escapes will compare favorably with the best managed institutions of the kind in the country. We have been particular in descending tominutla re specting these escapes, to show the people oar constit uency, that we are not careless of their safety, or indif ferent to the protection of their lives and property and the peace of soolety, bat determined that nothing shall be left undone to maintain a high reputation for our prison as a seonre lodgment for criminals,'where Justice will be firmly yet humanely administered, and good or der and thorough discipline enforced. South Queen street. 6t 2 The fiscal year of the Prison, dosing November 80th, 1868, embraces eight months of the present Keeper's management, and roar months of that of his predeces sor’s; the flnanclaliaffairs and manufacturing operations daring which period are exhibited in detail by the fol lowing statements,ynarked by the letters of the alpha bet, which contain all the information relating to those subjects. Statement of orders Issued, showing that the orders issued by the Inspectors on the Treasurer of the Lancas ter County Prison, for the Fiscal Year ending November 20,1858 amount to, $18,128.86 From which deduct extraordinary expenses, ~to wit: Alterations and Repair*,.........,. 1,151.99 To which is to be added the Indebtedness of the Prison, and the Goods and Materials on hand at the beginning of the fiscal year: Dae by Prison for Materials Nor. 30. 1858, $1,157.42 Manufactured goods on hand Nov. 30, 1867, 7.637.29 Z .

The price paid the keeper for boarding the prisoners was increased on the first of October from 16 cents a day to 18 cents. This advance was demanded by the enhanced price of each articles as are most largely consumed by the prisoners. The maintenance of the vagrants is again a large item, amonntlng this year to $1,879.98. The manufacturing operations during the year pro* duced as follows: 6,950)f yards carpet for sale; 12,101 yards ditto for customers; 3,631 yards bagging; 260 Salrs boots and shoes; 94 dozen .bags; 1648 willow askets; 620 fish netts; 60 .fly nets and 232,268 cigars, 4c. Thera are manufactured goods on hand to the amount of $3,534.66, consisting among other articles of 1,033 yds. of carpet; 1261 lbs. of rags; 619 fish nets; 760 willow baskets of T&rlons sizes, and 180,600 yarra, Cuba, sizes, and half Spanish cigars. The apparent profit of the labor of the prisoners, for the past year, was but $1,001.93 as shown by the state meat of gain and loss; this sum however indicates little more than one-fourth of the actual profit, as will be more fully explained hereinafter. Yet, the following state ment will serve to verify the correctness of the fore going recapitulation: Maintenance Department Add miscellaneous and current expenses... - , , $10,670.75 Prom which deduct the above profits. 1,001.93 • Actual sost of the Prison $9,568.82 The actual cost of the Prison the preceding tmt was $7,455.08; $241314 loss than ths past ysaT^ ' By a comparison of the fbregdhg statement with the corresponding statement of last; ear, it will be see.» that the Maintenance 'and Expense Department# then amounted to $12,009 37%, whereas, this year it amounts bat to $10.570 75, a decrease in favor of this year of $1,438.62%. so that It is evident that the difference In tbe apparent actual cost is wholly in tbe item of profits; the cause of this apparent diminution of profits we shall now proceed to explain and account for, and we hope satisfactorily to the public: Io submitting oar report to the people, whose servants we are. and to. whom we acknowledge our official account ability, we Teel ltdueaa an set of justice and strict impartiality to the people, wboee internets are committed to our cam, and to ourselves and all the officers of the prison, to briefl2_reonr to soma, of the extraordinary fi nancial and pecuniary featureeof the part year If tre aty that all human enterprise, tiling from the smallest brufoesaoperationsy to those Involving mil lions of dollars, web more terribly crippled and prostrated than the world ever knew before, we koow w« ahull be sustained In what we say. ■ A monetary convulsion that ebook tbe who’s civilised world, and beggared thousands of tbe wealthiest and strongest men in every community, most distribnteits in fluences and visit Its effects upon public as wull.as private and individual affairs. And though we feel prond to say that no pecuniary disaster has beiallen this institution, nor extraordinary losses occurred within the last year by bad debts, yet such has been the pecuniary distress of the whole community as to caution the ablest to pro ceed with great moderation and economy In the purchase of the most common necessities of life, while another, and byfer the larggt portion of the community,have been ana bis to purchase at all, except in minute quantities, India pensabletolife. Hence, while merchants and manufactur ers either entirely snspended their'operations,-or very materially reduced the amount thereof, prudently aim ing to keep within the wants of their customers, we have deemed it wise to pursue a similar course, and to lessen to some extent the qantities of some of our manufactures until again demanded by the return of prosperity to the country. Of the branches of manufectures which have been eur tailed,we will mention first that of rag carpet. During the year 1857 there were woven yds. of earpet for sale, added to whieh there .was a stock of 8,337 yds. on hand at the commencement of the year,making in the ag gregate 22,660% yds., and of which there were left unsold at the close of the year 1857, the large quantity of 8,786 yds., clearly showing that we were carrying a very large amount of capital In carpeting, whijh was practically dead stock. Another objection, and unfortunately an in surmountable one, to keeping on hand so Urge a stock of carpet, or making so much more than conld be sold, was discovered to be that by keeplog over one or two summers, more or lest, a Urge' quantity had been so seriously damaged by moth as to "greatly reduce its value, and some portions of which were nearly worthless In market. Under these circumstances we felt it to be an imperative duty to dispose of this excessive and damaged stock as •jMedily as possible, and convert it into money before it was totally destroyed. In pursuance thereof, there were sold 1,55914 yds. at less than 18 rta. per yd., producing $277.35 ; 203% yds. were sold which, produced 19 eta. per yard, or io aggregate $38.72. Other quantities of various amounts, which included with, or added to the above, make 3180% yds. total, were sold at a6out23 3-5 eta. per yd.—average price for the whole, or sum total. $739.42. And here we take occasion to say that loss or serious damage frtm this sconrce had heretofore escaped the attention of all connected with tbe prison. In following oat the diminution of business and tbe consequent re ceipts and profits thereof, we will state that to tbe gen eral contraction of business, nearly all kinds of our man ufactures were lessened lu quantity, sales and profits in consequence of tbe commercial revulsion of the year.— The stagnation of trade having materially depressed the prices of manufactures generally, U has been oar aim to affix snch valuation to tbe present inventory of prison goods and property, that it will be more than realized when sold, instead of falling short, as was the case with some portion of the goods inventoried at the close of 1857, which depreciation became apparent with the commence ment of the new year, and the continuance ot the panic which it was hoped would soofi have passed away. The amount of loss to prison this year of 1858, In consequence of having to sell goods less than the inven tory price of last year, may be thus stated: Sale carpet sold, 2130% yds. at 23 3-5 cts. brought $739.42, which deducted from tbe price of its inventory in 1857, 35% cts., shows a loss 0f... $ 379.55 Sale carpet on hand and inventoried at 34% cts. per yd., 1038 yds, which shows a loss from last Inventory of. ' 1137 The balance of carpet inventoried last year, 6656 yds. at 35% cts., and sold at an average of 34% cts. show a loss of. - 61.28 Bags ou band and now inventoried 1261 lbs. at 28 cts., and last year inventoried at 21 cts., make a difference of Bnss bold iu 1858 at an average of 29% cts. per lb., and inventoried last year at 31 cts., show a loss of. 168,500 cigars, sixes and half Spanish, now in- ventoried at an average of $4.48% per thous and, last year at $5.83, make a difference 0f... 171,000 cigars, sixes and half Spanish, sold in 1858, inventoried last year at an average of $5 83 per thousand, and sold at $3.60 per thousand, loss 2 seine nets, inventoried last year at $5O, and sold for $35, loss 619 fish nets on hand, inventoried at an average of 78% cts. each, last year Inventoried at $1 each, making a difference 0f.....; 98 baskets, inventoried last yoar at an average of 52 cts. each, nnd sold at an average of 39 cts. each, showing a loss of. 750 baskets on band, inventoried at 40% cts. the average, Inst year Inventoried at 52 cts. each, makiDg a difference of 43 pairs boots and shoes, now inventoried at an average of $1.03 per pair, last year inventoried at a $1.43 per pair, making a difference of 2469 iba. carpet rags, now inventoried at 5 cts. per 0)., last year inventoried at 7 cts. per lb., making a difference of. 3993 lbs. carpet rag 6 worked up, inventoried last year at 7 cts., the purchases ot 1858 have not quite averaged 5 cts. making a loss of 2724 Dis. Ct. and Penna. seed leaf tobacco, now inventoried at 9 4-10 cts. per R>., last year in ventoried at 16% cts. per lb., loss In the preceding items which constituted the great bulk of manufactured goods, as well as raw material In usein Prison, we find a loss of $1,696.50, resulting from damaged and exorbitantly appraised goods, (both raw ma terial and manufactured goods,) inventoried at the close of 1857. A similar disparity disadvantageous to this year, compared to 1857, exists iu some other respects, which will readily be explained to show tbe esti mate placed upon these matters account for the differ once in apparent profit, while we feel confident that tbe intrinsic value is fully equal to that of the higher ap praisement of last year. In showing the earnings of all the Industrial Departments of last year, we thought proper to fix the price of making sixes cigars at $3.50 per thousand, while this year the same labor is estimated at only $2.50, making a difference in the apparent earn ings of making 14G.268 sixes $ 156 27 Weaving 18,057% yds. carpeting in 1868, at 7 cts. per yd., while tbe same was estimated at 10 cts. per yd. last year, making a difference in the earn iDgs of. 541.72 Making 1095 bags iu 1853, at 4 cts., estimated at 5 cts. iu 1857, making a difference of. 10.95 Making 245 shirts, drawers, socks, Ac., at 20 cts. each, instead of 25 cts. in 1857, making a dif ference of 12.25 Making 1648 willow and oak baskets in 1858, at 18 cts. each; 23 cts. each allowed in 1857, mak ing a difference of 82.40 5000 fi>9. rags cat and sewed in 1858, at 2'cts. per lb., while 3 cts. was charged in 1857, mak ing a difference of 50.00 620 fishnets made in ISSB, at 50 cts. each ; 60 cts. charged in 1857, making a difference of. 62.00 60 horse fly nets at 40 cts. each, fully equal to the cost of the average of fish nets estimated at 60 cts last year, making a difference of. 10.00 In these items enumerated we find an agregate of $925.59 apparent deficiency in the earnings, for doing the same labor as last year, bat only because of the lower price al lowed for labor. Other items in different departments of labor would increase the amount of apparent diminu tion perhaps some two hundred dollars, yet the amount of work done as shown per tables, is proof conclusive that the Industrial and Mechanical Department has not retrograded. The extraordinary expenses of the prison for the year, growing out of the introduction of another furnace, and making several new roofs for shops, <ste., Ac., calls for explanation. It has been an acknowledged fact by every Prison Inspector for several years past, and by all the officers of the prison, that during the coldest weather of every winter, it was impossible to keep some portions of the prfron comfortably warmed; prisoners were unable to perform their work properly on account of suffering from cold. To permit it longer to remain so seemed not only & pecuniary loss,but inhuman. We resolved to correct this evil as early as possible and practicable. We called to onr assistance an experienced gentleman-and mechanic, long familiar with the warming of public as well as private buildings, and we unanimously concluded that we were' attempting to warm too much room, and trying to heat too great a vol ume of air with an entirely insufficient force. To warm 80 cells, extending nearly 175 feet In length on each side of the building, and two stoi les high, besides supplying aufilcient'heat for the spacious corridor, was more than other furnaces of equal number performed in other public buildings. There were but four in number, none of the very largest size, two being No. 6 and 2 No. 5, and required to warm a volame of nearly 170.000 cable feet of tin. We believe it to be simply an impossibility to perform in severe cold weather, while maintaining a decent degree of ventila tion, a consideration too little entertained every where, not sufficiently appreciated any where, and of eqnal im portance to that of warmth. . In conformity with this ocnclusion, we purchased a new furnace, and as the old ones were arranged in pairs, and nearly at the ex treme ends of the prison, it was deemed advisable to sep arate them, thus more equally distributing the heat, and rendering the cells more uniformly comfortable- In resetting one of the old ones, portions were found to be worthless, and had to be replaced with new, which of course helped to augment the cost. The mild weather of tbe winter thus far has not afforded a severe test of the efficiency of the improvement, but we have strong confidence that tbe object in view is attained. During the wet weather of last spring, the leaky condition of several roofs rendered it imperative that they should be renewed or repaired immediately, to save from total des truction the walls of the bnilding, and the contents stored therein. The room occupied as a wardrobe for prisoners* clothes was pecnliarly defective, and at one period before the roof was renewed, came near destroying all the prisoners’ clothing, ft was re-covered with new tin, and has since been free from dampness or iojury.— We have found it necessary to Increase the number of workshops in the yard, as the number of prisoners Is constantly increasing, which we'have done by roofing over two of the yards in the rear of the cells. This has been substantially done, and affords increased facil* ties for carrying on the different mechanical trades of the prison, as well as greater comfort to the prisoners. Dp to the last spring, tbe yard in which tbe stable is situated, outside of the prison walls, has not been sup plied with water. We believed it to be economical as well as prudent that it shoald be supplied with water from a hydrant within Its own yard, and accordingly had one constructed, connecting with tbe pipe near the prison wail, which rendered it necessary to have about 50 feet of pipe, and was accordingly of light expense. All of the tin roofs upon every part of the prison were in need of a coat of paint, which has been thoronghly done, and we feel satisfied of the economy of the act, to preserve effectually the roof from rnst destruction, and a leaking roof. So, too, of the spouting and gutters upon of the root The broad pointing of the wall on the Inside, which extends around the Prison, has been done in the most thorough manner, and we believe with the best of ma terials ; so much mortar had fallen from between the stones, that it was evident the stones would soon drop oat if not secured immediately by pointing; to have longer neglected it would have beenshamefnl neglect on our part and ignorance of ear duties.

In view of the awful destruction of human life caused by Sexual diseases, ano the deceptions practiced the uofortuoate victims of such diseases hy Qhacks, several years ago directed their Consulting Surgeon, as a CHARITABLE ACT worthy of their names, to open a Dispensary for the treatment of this class ofdiseases,lu all their forms,and to give MEDICAL ADVICE GRATIB to all who apply by letter, with a descrip tion of their condition, (age, occupation, habits of life, Ac.) and in case of extreme poverty, to FUBNIBH MEDICINES FREE OF CHARGE. It is needless to add that the Associ ation commands the highest Medical skill of the age, and will furnish the most approved modem treatment. The Directors of the Association, in their Annual Report upon the treatment of Bexual Diseases, express the highest satisfaction with the success which has attended the labors of their Surgeons in the cure of Spermatorrhoea, Seminal Weakness,Gonorrhoea, Gleet, Syphilis, the rice of Onanism or Self Abuse, Diseases of the Kidneys and Bladder, Ac., and order a continuance of the same plan for the ensuing year. The Directors, on a review of the past, feel assured that their labors In this sphere of benevolent efforts hare been of great benefit to the afflicted, especially to the young, and they have resolved to devote themselves, with renewed zeal, to this very important and much despised cause. An admirable Report on Spermatorrhoea, or Seminal Weakness, the vice of Onanism, Masturbation, or Belf- Abnse, and other diseases of the Sexual organs, by the Con sulting Snrgeon, will be sent by mail (in a sealed envelope) FREE OF CHARGE, on receipt of TWO STAMPS for post ■age.

From the Eon. TheophUus Parsons, LL. D., Law Professor in Harvard University. “ Have you room for a word about Ripley and Dana’s new Cyclopaedia? I have frequent occasion to use one; and I am so delighted with the two volumes we have that I must ash you to allow me the relief of saying very sim ply, what I find them—that is, the very best Cyclopaedia for practical use ever published. I have some knowledge of all in our own language and a few of those of the conti nent of Europe. The best and largest of these surpass this of Appleton’s in the extent to which they carry out special dissertations. But this Cyclopaedia is full of the best mat ter. By skillful selection and compression, and sedulous avoidance of mere show and verbiage, room is found for an immense amount of the latest information, put forth clear ly, carefully and accurately. The book embodies, and ade quately represents, the ability and knowledge available at this day for a work of the kind. “ Its merit and extreme cheapness must place it eventu ally in every .Library. And if a good word from one who has found out its excellence by making use of it, can has ten or extend Its diffusion, my purpose in writing this brief notice will be accomplished.” THE NEW AMERICAN CYCLOPEDIA Will be completed In 15 volumes of 750 pages etch, (SOLD BY SUBSCRIPTION ONLY.) Price per vol., in cloth, $3; Library style, $3 50 ; half mo rocco, $4; half Russia, $4 50; each payable on delivery. D. APPLETON A CO., Publishers, nov 30 tf 45 Nos. 346 and 348 Broadway.

Sworn statement of David M'Creary, of Napier town ship, Bedford county: In April, 1866, as near as I can remember, a small pim ple made its appearance on my upper tip, which soon be came enlarged aDd sore. I used poaltices of sorrel, and a wash of blue vitriol, without effect. Finding the sore ex tending. I called on Dr. Ely, of Scbellsburg, who pro nounced it CANCER, and prescribed a wash of sugar of lead and bread poultices. Finding these remedies of no avail, I called npon Dr. Shaffer, of Davldsville, Somerset county, who also pronounced tbe disease Cancer, and gave me internal and external remedies—tho latter consisting principally of caustic; but all to no parnose, as the dis ease continued RpreadiDg toward the nose I next used a preparation of arsenic, in the form of salve. This for a time checked the disease, but the inflammation soon In creased. I next called npon Dr. Statler, of St. Clairsvllle, Bedford county, who also pronounced the disease Cancer, and applied a salve said to be a never-falling remedy, but it bad no effect whatever In checking tbe spread of the sore. In December, of tho same year, the disease had eaten away a greater part of my upper tip,' and had at tacked the nose, when I went to Cincinnati, where I con sulted Prof. R. 8. Newton, of the Eclectic Medical College. He pronounced tbe disease “a cutaneous Cancer, super induced by an inordinate use of mercury." He applied mild zinc ointment, and gave me internal remedies. My face healed up, but the inflammation was not thoroughly removed. In February, 1867, he pronounced me cured, and I left for home. In April the disease again returned, and so violent wm the pain that I could not rest at night! Late ia May I returned to Cincinnati, and again placed myself under the charge of Dr. Newton, with whom I re mained until September, during which time he nred every known remedy, and partly succeeded In checking the dis ease, bat when I returned home there were still three dis charging ulcers npon my face. I continued using New ton's preparations, and also medicine- that I got from Dr. Ely. hut tbe Cancer continued growing until it had eat of the left side of my nose, the greater portion of my left cheek, and had attacked my 14ft eye. I had given up allhopoof ever being cored, since Dr. Ely said be could only give relief, hot that a cure was Impossible. In March, 1868, I bought a bottle of “Blood Bearcber;” bat I mast confess that I bad no faith in it. I was very weak when I com menced taking it; bat I found that I gained strength day by day, and also that the ulcers commenced drying np. I continued, and when tbe third bottle was taken my foce was healed as if by a miracle. I used a fourth bottle, and I have been healthier since than I have been for the last seven years. Although my foce is sadly disfigured, lam still grateful to a benign Providence who has spared my life, and which has been done through tbe Instrumentality of Liotset's Improved Blood Searcher.
