Ladles will always be found in attendance to examine and prescribe for patients.. . dl-lta ry-==» We particularly solicit the attention of LLif. Railroad officers to the advertisement headed “ Bailrosd Dangers.” Jt la plain, direct, forcible, and honest, and should arrest the thought of all Railroad official*. The improvement there .noted has been thoroughly tried; some hundreds of the machines arc in use in ait the care of some of our best managed Hies; and it is the opinion of all who have examined it that it will be unlversallyused. It is offerel on the meat favorable terms RAILROAD DANGEHS.—For tho last twenty years, or perhaps sinoe the system of Railroads has been es tablished in this there have, Inail probability, boon losses bv ao Ident to the extent of twenty millions ofooUars. These have been dear, absolute losses to the community—as much so as property destroyed by Are or sunkin the ocean. But these disasters have been of a peculiar character, and, in the main, not those or fire or Aral; they have arisen from the ordinarj con ditions of a railroad train in progress; .they' have been caused by tho inherent momentum that is a necessary property of great mass»sof matter in motion. ; A Railroad Train is exposed to peculiar danger from this cause. Its track of irqa and level grade are' both made for the purpose of allowing Its free progress, and the very ease and freedom of motion aggravate the danger of momentum. Again, a Railroad is Intended aa a means of rspid tranilt for persot a and property, and the component parts of a locomotive &od ears for travel on rails rapidly, are made necessarily heavy and strong—lf otherwise, they would soon shake to pieces. It follows, then; that weight, eve of motion, freedom from obstruction, and rapid transit, all conduce powerfully to create toomen turn Prom accurate caloulatioQß it is found that the effective momentum of a train of six car/and an engine is equal to ft force of 700 tons. • The.truth of this state ment is painfully se f-evidentat a sudden cpl isloj or obstruction. This FEARFUL DANGER WELCH IS EVER PBB9SNT to ft tra la is only partially recognised by Railroad officials. It js, however, understood to somo extent, and each car is provided witb brakes, or blocks, arranged to press agaicst tho wheels by the action of the brahemao. This plan works very well for the usual stoppages of a train, when sufficient notice is given to the brakemau by the engineer; but for those eases of danger which have arisen, and will arise, in spite of the most rigid scrutiny, it is notoriously ini ffl eient.asall experience proves. It is of no use for an officer to Bay that nothing can happen to.“ our” train There is not a moment th t strain is In motion but that it is exposed to dangers which a perfect control would prevent, and there should net ba an Instant of time in which a train is running, but that the facilities should be at band for an Instant, simultaneous and powerful application of the retirdirg appliances of every car It is not the custom on nuny roads to employ more than one brakoman to two or three cars, and on some not more than one to four or five cars The laws of some States require a brakemau ti each two cars We hold that there should be one to every car, and that a meohaoieal brakemau is vastly more reliable than one of Aeshaudblool. During the last few years an invention has been made and perfected by the undersigned, the object of which Is to place all the braking appliances of a train in reali ness for prompt and united action. The closest atten tion that we have been able to bring to bear on this sub ject, and an analysis of the various accidents that have occurred* lead most conclusvely to this result, viz': that the means should always beathandthrongnouttbe train to arrest the momentum at every point where it exists; 2 That the engine man, from his station, gene rally sees tbe obstruction or danger first, consequently heihou'-dbe enabled, of bis own volition, to apply in an inßtant every b-ake; 8. The liability to accidents Jrombioskit£oiwheels, axles,rails, chairs, accidental separations, and defections at various points on the 'train ronder it of the first importance that every bar should have its own retarding appliances perfectly Jade ' pendent in aotion of any other. Hundreds of contri vettoes have been made in the way of continuous brakes, nooe of which have ever attained a perfect success—the necessary complicity of adjustment, and the total failure of such a contrivance, often at the very moment when most needed, ore Insuperable obstacles to the success of such a device as a means of guarding against, aud miti gAtingall the accidents to which a train is expos d. The invention referred to consistsin the attachment of a re served power to the brakes of each-car, placing them all in readiness for united action, either from the en gine or any point on the train A desoripti nof thu mechanism is unnecessary at this place; suffice it to say, it is extreme y simple, and perfectly efficient, and full and detailed engravings and description may be found in our circulars, to be had on application at our office. There another, and perhaps the strongest, point jm favor of the adoption of this precaution-namely, >;s great cheapness. For instance, take a road owning, sty, fifty cars: the fir. t cost, at our present price, would bo j $6,*250; the interest on this amount at 7 (or say 9 per 1 cent , which is nearer the rats that railroad companlos | pay for the us •of money) is $502 per year. A company I having this attachment to their oars would save the | wages of at least three brakemon, which would bo, say, fPDO a year; while the simple insurance against acci dent to life and propetty which such ft precaution would ; give would be worth at least half the cost of the im- I provemeht. We submit that we make out a strong oaso j in faTor of the adoption of such a security. And now, 1 then, in conclusion; we add that some hundreds of these Machines are In use in the United States, and they are on the whole passenger stock of all tho following roads, to any or all ol the officers of which we refer all parties interested, in place of-certificates, of which we hate plenty: Hudson River, Cleveland and Toledo, Terio Haute and Richmond, Old Colony and Fall River, Michl ohigan Central, Panama, &o. Further than thie : We will furnish the maohines for ALL TUB PASSENGER AND BAGGAGE CABS OF ANYROAD, AND GIVE KAOH COMPANY FOR ITSELF THE OPPORTU NITY TO TEST ITS TALUS, FRBB OF CHARGE. WE WILL GIVE FOUR MANTAS’ TRIAL BEFORE SETTLEMENT, AND EAOH COMPANY BHALL BE ITS OWN JUDGE OF ITS VALUE. Can WE do more than this? And does not every officer assume ft FEAR FUL RESPONSIBILITY who neglects for a' moment such an offer? We do not make this offer as mere mean ingless talk, but WE MEAN IT JUST EX&OILYAS IT IS EXPRESSED. This device will give an amount of security to a train that is impossible wi hout it; aud no company need Bftf We knorf nothing about it.” or (( itis an experiment of doubtful utility,” or, ** it is untried,” &c • We do not ask you to incur expense or buy patent fights; we offer you merchandise of tried, perfected, and warranted value We rhall send a copy of this advertisement to the office of every Company in the Union, and solicit on their part a recognition of the merits of this improvement, and the extraordinarily low and favorable terms on which It : is 'at present offered. . “ ‘ The universal use of this device, however mnch It may benefit ns, will promote the railroad interest, and the nublio good generally ft hundredfold more.

[From the Philadelphia “ Press.”] One of the best and, perhaps, the very handsomest of the books which have been published recently is Mrs. Palirer’s u Stratford Gallery.” Her volume is notonly a suggestive contribution to Bhakspearlan literature, but it has a positive character in itself, as revealing a woman’s sympathies and judgments about women. ; [From Dwight’s “ Jonrnal of Mnelo.”] Nothing pedantic, obtrusive, or dry—simply what a living woman, or intelligence and refinement, thinks of the women of Shakspeare. And who can be better qualified to judge of women than a woman? [From tho “ Boston Traveller.”] The first artistieal talent of the day has been em ployed on It, and altogether ItwHl form the most su perb work that has been published for years. [From the “ Neriv York Observer.”] This magnificent volume, published by the Appletons, is now ready for Its eager admirers, and it is indesd a triumph of art Is bookmaklng, worthy of a place by tho side of those great gift books, whioh for successive years they have Issued [From thA** N. Y. Courier and Enquirer ”] We have no hesitation in expre.slog our confidence that in all respects the work will provo a great attrac tion to every petion of cultivated taste. 1 [From the “ Baltimore Dlepatoh.”] The typography is in the highest style of excellence and the illustrations in the sheets before us—Hero, in “Mnoh Ado About Nothing,” and Julia, In “ Two Gen tlemen of Verona”—are exquisite. [From the <* New York Tribune.”] A truly superb gift. [From the “ N. Y. Oommetolal Advertiser.”} The portions of the lettor-press which we have read are admirable; and even those who are familiar with the obarming essays of Charles Lamb and Mrs. Jame son on the same subjects, will find mnoh to interest them in the eloquent ideal descriptions and shrewd criticisms of Mrs Palmer. [From the c * Washington Union ”] We oan assure our readers that it will be tho most beautiful volumo ever ofTe*ed to the American public; and, as it is nearly ready for pnblication, it will be in the hands oi the booksellers in time for the examina tion of those who wish to obtain a superb book for a present. [From the “ New York Christian Advocate.”] It is no reproduction of familiar works of the kind, but original and ideal illustratloilftn the'finest style of art, with beautiful storieß In the text. d!7 2t BEAUTIFUL BOOK THE HOLIDAYS.
