Among the morenotieeable, of recent date,

was destroyed at • Montreal as late m the

that it had to be . rebuilt. In the' :United
States we have no bureau of statistics to
furnish us with such facts; .but in France,,
M. A. Legoyt, Chief of Oeneral Statistics,-
reports that in the last ten , years in that
Icountry . there were nearly ~ 5,000 persons_
injured by lightning, of whom two thous
and were killed. Such - - casualties in
this country are very numerous, much
- more so than people generally suppose. In
this connection, we call Attention
„to the
lightning rod manufactured in this city, by,
Messrs. Lockhart & Co., and which' has
been adopted for many of our public build
-1 ings and by the public generally who have
use for such protection. This rod has been
in quite general use for about a dozen years!
and has rendered great satisfaction: It Lit
endorSed by the most competent, perst,
and is undoubtedly' a perfect protection
against disaster by lightning. A paniphler
on our • table gives the
„names. of several
hundred citizens in this vicinity who have
[
I it on their buildings: .are personally
lacquainted with 'the manufacturers, , and
take pleasure in saying that no firm in the

The Very Best 12,xe, and in the
newest style, at Barker's.
Di. Keyser's consultation rooms are at
120 Penn street, from 9 A. H. until 4 P. N.
The -Evening Advocate, very excellent
authority. says.
Some of the most marvelous cures which
have over been performed in this city have
been effected recently by the Great Arabian
Physician, .who, in the short space of six
months, has achieved a reputation as a pro
fourlphysician second to none in 'Western
Pennsylvania. In every instance in which
his skill has been employed, success invari
ably has unvaryingly followed. To-day lie
is doing far, more business than any three
physicians in this locality. We paid a - visit
to his Dispensary the other day, where we
wore surprised to find the ante-chamber
filled with people patiently awaiting . their
turn to he admitted to the
. presenee of the
physician whose name is upon. every
tongue:
While there, wo learned a fact which, in I
itself, conveys a volume. Notwithstanding
the fact, that the Arabian Physician , has an.
active and energetic assistant., in the shape
of one of the best pathologicatexaminers in
the country, the rush of business has been
so great as to render it neceswiry to employ
-two experienced druggists to put up medi
eines for the patients which flock to his '
rooms.. Did he 'desire to do so,
the Arabian
Physician could give hundreds of names of
those who have experienced permanent
benefit from his treatment; this, however,
'he does not propose to' do, inasmuch us he
is averse'to dragging the names of his - pa. ?
tients before the.publie. In faCt it is wholly
unnecessary, since ho finds his time
wholly occupied in waiting upon those who
- are attracted by his famous skill, which, - We
may add, is now universally known and re
. cognized. In this connection we will add
that. the . Arabian:: Physician hasmade ar
rangements to visit Cincinnati in a few
weeks at farthestovbere hOwillbe engaged
during the early summer months. Persons
desirous of calling in his aid will therefore
do well to embrace the present opportunity.
The Arabian Physician does not claim to
be infallible; Mit he points to the long list
of patients who have been restored to high
health and happiness through nig pecuhar
Arabian curative treatment, and in view
of the fact thatihe has invariably succeed
ed- whore others haVe., failed, not only to
cure, but < to discover: the real disease, it is
not saying too much to award him the posi
tion of a phySician whose success entitles
him to the reputation.of the Marvel
of the age.'Dispensary at No. 2-93 Liberty
