It has been discovered by the chemists of France that Eelp oh Sea* weed has been found to contain the properties necessary to give tone to the Stomach an i im part a vigorous and healthy digestion. By distillation and analysis it is found to contain lodine. Potassium* Iron, Lime, and the Hypophosphites, and other very important chemical agents which act on the food in the stomach similar to the gastric juice, causing it to dis solve, and a perfect digestion is the Tesuit. It is: re markable how it produces strength and vigor to the system, making the most slender fleshy and robust, With a hale and hearty constitution. In Ireland the Irish Afoss has been used by physicians •for many years with markedsuccess, and it contaiua many properties similar to Kelp, but in such feeble pro portions that the Sfea*wetd is destined to supercede it eutbely. Frofessor Faraday, of London, has discovered that the Kelp poFseesesaUo the Anthelmintic, .or Worm- destroy ing property in an eminent degree, and* as it is perfectly tale under. a T I ciicomsmoces, the day is rapidly ap proaching when the Sea-Weed will he the only remedy that will be used as a vermifuge for children and adults, for Tap«-worm, and all other binds of worms that the human system is liable to. ' Professor Faraday will prosecute hie investigations BtiJLX further on this, interesting subject, and the public would do well to beep themselves posted as .to the re sults of hi« labors. ••IRISH lODIJSEAND MARIKEBALT3 COMPANY.” The Gelway American, of the 11th inst., and other, Irish pipers, have interesting articles on the establish ment of this Company in the "‘City of the Tribes. * * From, a Dublin contemporary 's columns, some statements therein set forth as facts, The 5 will show our readers the nature ;ol the .new discovery, whicli hfts.led to the formation of a company which promises to be of immense value to Ireland,’ and over which, it is to be hoped, no English interest will have . control. ••Hitherto sea weed embraced no wider range of ap plication than the burning of it into kelp in a few iso lated places on the coasts of Antrim Donegal, Galway, and the Isles of Arian, for a short.period in summer, when the weather was fine, and the people had no other employment; and the use of i; in a raw tiate as a manure by the'poor tenants or cott*r farmers living within a mile or twcvmU*s of the coaßt, who have no means of procuring farm-yard or other fertilizing sub stitutes. OUtbese data its value was estimated.'- It served no purpose beyond these two appllaucas. But we have entered upon an age of discovery; and sea weed may havebeen destined in the economy of Provi dence to be the foundation of Ireland’s prosperity. Air. hl’Ardle’s analysis’of sea weed, authenticated by the eminent chemists, Ale ridge, Abjohn, Galloway. Sulli van, and Cameron, by showing it to have a value far ; exceeding what it was previously known or thought to possess, has tttracled the attention of the commer-. cial world. , . “The immediate and direct produots of sea-weed are iodine, bromine, muriate of ammmia, sulphate of potass, sulphate of soda, chloride of potassium, • chloride of sodium, carbonate of soda.- From the quantity of each of tbe-e substances which sea weed is found to contain, its value and importance can hardly he over-ettimated. But if one etnsiders for a moment the ntes to. which the several products are applicable, in medicine, the: aTts, and various manuractures either as bases or agents, and the amount of skilled and unskilled labor that wonld'be hi ought into requisition bj the works they would i create, the; magnitude of. the parent manufacture would appear to be oiminished—the trunk to be Im-: perceptible smid its many branches. ' The value of ! ?Ms long-neglected source of wealth is at length ap preciated. a company is furme* for its full develop ment. The gentlemen who determiaed upon this have done well and wisely, both for themselves and ihelr country; and aino very dUtant dar, when seeing ; the fcuccees which shall have crowned, - their under- . takmg, the happy firesides they shall have created, the , . prosperity they.shall hare disseminated, and the im pulse their example will have given to industrial and manufacturing enterprise, they shall look bsci with . feelings of patriotic pride and gratified delight to that day on which they inaugurated a t-uty Irish manufac turing era, teeming with riches, with happiness, and peace.’ • -• ' - . ; The above extract is from a recent number of the Gal vti.y American, and claims to be a new discovery in the -way of medicine. "While the discovery raay.be new in Ireland, it is not so in this country, nor even in this city, for dt is a well known fact here that Dr. J. H., SCHENCK has known and used blithe maierials named'* ten years past, or longer, in preparing his SEA-WEED TOEIC; sndnodoabtihis is the reason of ; its great-ruecess in the healing art; .
