Lk«sf LEGE, No. 627 AROH Street, ii open regular ly on WEDNESDAY and SATURDAY, from 1| to 1 o’clock. Femalo Professor* wril always bo found in at tendance to examine and prescribe for patients, dl-lm We particularly solicit the attontion of U 3 Railroad officers to tbe advertisement headed << Railroad Dangers.” It Is 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 are In use in all the cars of some of our bestmanaged lines ; and it is the opinion of all who have examined it that it will be universally used. It is offers! on the most favorable terms RAILROAD DANGERS.—For tbe last twenty year*, or perhaps sinco tbe system o’ Railroad* has been *a tabliehed in this country, there have, inali probability, been losses by so ident to tho extent of twenty millions of collars. These have been dour, absolute losses to the community—as much so as property destroyed by lire or sunk in the ocean. Bat these disasters have been of a peculiar character, and, in tbe main, not those of fire or flood; they have arisen from the ordinary con- train In progrea*; they have been caused by the inherent momentum that is a necessary property of great matter in motion. A Railroad Train 1b exposed to peculiar danger from thiii cause. Its track of iron and level grade are both made for the purpose of allowing its free progress, and tho very ease and freedom of motion aggravate the danger of momentum. Again, a Railroad Is intended as a moans or rapid transit for parsers and property, and the component parts of a locomotive and cars for travel on rails rapidly, aro made neceastrlly heavy and strong—if otherwise, they would soon shake to pirors It follows, thrn, that weight, eare of motion freedom from obstruction, and ri.pid transit, ail conduce powerfully to create momen turn Prom acovrAte c dentations it is found that the effective momentum of a train of aix card and an engine is equal to a forco of 700 tons. The truth of this state ment is painfully se-r-evldent at a sudden col inionor obstruction. This FEARFUL DANGER WHIOH IS EVER PBESINT to atrain i* rmt* r«-Msnt*«a t>y Railroad officials. It is, however, understood tb some extent, asd each car is provided With brakes, or blocks, arranged to press agalrst the wheels by the notion of the brakemau. This plan works very well for the ufusl stoppages of a trpiu, when saffioient notice is given to tie brakeman by the engineer; but for those cases of danger which have ans*n, and will aria*, in spite of tbe most rigid scrutiny, it is notoriously ineffi cient, as all experience proves. It Is of no nf« for an officer to ssythat nothing can happen to (l our” train There is not a moment th.t a train is in motion but that it is exposed to dangers which a perfect control would prevent, and tbore should net be an instant of time in which a train la naming, but that tho facilities should be ax hand for an instant, simultaneous aud powerful application of the retarding appliances of every car It is not the custom on many roads to employ more than one brakeman to two or three cars, and on some not more than one to four or five cars The lans of some States require a brakeman tj each two curs We bo’dthat there should be one to every car, and that a mechanical brakemau is vastly more reliable than one of flesh and blood. Dor.ng the last few years an invention has been made and perfected by the undersigned, the object of which is to place all the braklogappliances of a train in readi ness for prompt and united action. The closest atten tion that we have been able to bring to bear on this sub ject, acd an analysis of the various accidents that have occurred, lead most conclusively to this result, viz: that the means should always beath&ndthroughouttn© train to arrest the momentum at every point where it oxiats} 2 That the engine man, from his station, gene rally tees the obstruction or danger first, consequently heshou’dbe enabled, of his own volition, to apply in an instant every bake; 3. The liability to accidents from breaking of wheels, axles, rails, chairs accidental teparat'ooß, and defections at various points on the train render it of the first importance that every bar should have its own retarding appliances perfectly inde pendent In action, of any other Hundreds of contri vances have been made in the way of continuous brakes, noce 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, are Insuperable obstacles to the success of such a device as a means of guarding against, aud mlti» gating all the accidents to which atraiu H expos d. The. invention referred to consists in 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 description of the meobanlsm is unnecessary at this place; suffice it to say, it is extreme y simple, and perfectly efficient, and full and detailed engravings and may bo found in our circulars, to be had on appilcationatour office There is another, and perhaps the strongest, point in favor of the adoption of this precaution-- namely, its great cheapness. if or instance, tuko a road owning, say, fifty cars: the flr,t cost, at our present price, would be $d,260; the interest on this atountat? (or say 0 per cent, which is nearer the rate that railroad companies pay for the usi of money) is $602 per year. A company having this attachment to their Cft r a would save the wages of at least three brakemen, which would bo, say, $OOO a year; white tho simple insurance against acci dent to life and property which suoh a precaution would give would he worth at least half the cost of the im provement. "We submit that we make out a strong case In favor of the adoption of such a security. And now, then, in oonoiuaion, we add that some hundreds of these Uacblnes are in use in the United States, and they are ou the whole passenger stock of all the following roads, to &Dy or all of the officers of which we roforall patties interested, in place of certificates, of which we hare plenty: Hudson River, Cleveland and Toledo, Terre Haute audltlohmond, Old Colony and Vail River, Michl chigau Central, Panama, Ac. further than this: We will furnish the machines for ALL THU PASSENGER AND BAGGAGE OARS OF ANY HOAD, AND GIVE EACH COMPANY FOR ITSELF TaE OPPORTU NITY TO TEST ITS VALUE, FREE OF CHARGE. WE WILL GIVE FOint MONTHS' TRIAL BKKOBB SETTLEMENT, AND EACH COMPANY SHALL BE ITS OWN JUDGE OF ITS VALUE/Can WE do more than this ? And does not every officer assuino a FEAR FUL RESPONSIBILITY who neglects for a moment such an offer? We do not make this otter an mere mean ingless talk, but WE MEAN IT JUST KXAOILYAB IT IS EXPRESSED. This device will give an amount of security to a train that is iraposaiblo wi bout it; and no company need say “ We know nothing about it,” or “it is an experiment of doubtful utility,” or, “it is untried,” Ac. We do not ask you to inour expense or buy patent rights; we oiler-you merchandise of tried, perfected, and warranted value. We rhall nond a copy of this advertisement to the office of evory Company in the Union, and solicit on their part a recognition ot the merits of this improvement, and the extraordinarily low and lavorablo terms on which it is at present offered. Tho nnlrersal nuo of this device, however much It may benefit üb, will promote tho railroad interest, and the public good generally a huodreJfold more. U.tt. RAILROAD CAR-BRAKE CO., W. G.
