This has been the result of its marked su periority in quality, and its invariable uni formity. The public may fe assured of the continu ance of the h gh standard now established. The preclusion is over Twenty Tons daily, and ihe demand has extended throughout die whole ol the United States, and to foreign countries. Working thus on a very large scale, and under a rigid system, they are able to sprure n perfect and uniformity in ilioquality tnrough out the year. This is :he great Desideratum in Staroh-niaking, and is realized now for ihe firs', lime. The very best starch that con be made,and I no other, is always wai ted by consumers, ! und while this will be supplied to lliein by { the gtocer*, us soon as their customers have | learned which is the best, and ak for it— otherwise they would be likely to get that : article on which the largest profit can be j made. Mr. Kingsford has Teen engaged in the i manufacture of starch continuously for the j last 27 years, and during Ihe whole of the I period, the starch made under his supervis- I ion has been, bevoml any question, the best j in the market. For the first 17 years, ha had j the charge ol the works ol Wm. Colgate & . Co., at which period he invented the process j ol the manufacture of corn starch. fV Askjor Kingsford's Starch, as the name ' Oswego has recently been taken by another fa c- | lory. T. KINGSFORD & SON'S OSWEGO CORN STARCH, I (For Puddings. Ifc,) Has obtained on equal celebri'y with their I Starch for the Laundry. This article is per fectly pure, and is, in every respect, eqnal to ' Ihe best Bermuda Arrow-Hoot, besides hav ing additional qualities which render it inval uable fur the dessert. Potato Starch has been extensively packed and sold as Corn Starch, nnd has given false impressions to many, as to the real merits ol onr Corn Starch. From its great delicacy and purity, it is coming al-o into extensive use as a diet lor infanta and invalids. E. N. KELLOGG k CO., Agents. 196 Fulton Street, N. Y.

Even, however, in the last stages, in halation affords extraordinary retiel to the suffering spending this fearful scourge, which annually destroys ninety five thousand per eo"B ill the United States alone; and a correct calculation shows that out of the present pop ulation of the earth, eighty millions are des tined to fill the consumptive's grave. Truly the quiver of death has 110 arrow so ! fatal as Consumption. In all ages it has been 1 the great enemy of life, for it spares neither age nor sex, but sweeps off alike the brave, the beautiful, the graceful, and the gifted.— By the help of that Supreme Being, from whom c'ometh every good and perfect gift, 1 am enabled to ofler to the articled a perma nent and speedy cure in Consumption. The first cause of tubercles is from impure Idood. and the immediate effect, produced hy their deposition in the lungs, is to prevent the free admission of air into the air rells, winch causes a weakened vitality through the entire system. Then surely it is more rational 10 expect greater good from nr.edi cities entering 1 lie cavities of the lungs than from those administered through the stom ach; the patient will always find the lung* free and the breathing easy after inhaling remedies. Thus, inhalation is a local remedy, nevertheless it acts constitutionally, and with more power and certainly than rem edies administered by the B'omacli. To prove the powerful and direct influence ol this mode of administration, chloroform inhaled will entirely destroy sensibility in a lew min utes, paraly zing Ihc entire nervous sysiem, so that a limb mat be amputated without the s'ighlest pain ; inhaling the ordinary burning gas will destroy life in a few hours. The inhalation of ammonia will rouse the system when fainting or apparently dead.— The ndnr of many oi the medicines is per ceptible in the skin a lew minutes after being inhaled, and mav he immediately detected in the blood. A convincing proof of the constitutional eficcis of inhalation, is the fact that sicknees is always produced by breath ing foul air. Is not this positive evidence that proper remedies, carefully prepared and judiciously administered through the lungs, should produce the most happy results? Du ring eighteen years' practice, manv thous ands, suffering fro.ti diseases of the lungs and throat, have been under my care, arid I have affected many remarkable cures, even alter the sufferers had been pronounced in die last stage*, which fully satisfies me that consumption is no longer a lata! disease.— My treatment of consumption is original, and founded oil long experience and a thorough investigation. My perlecl acquaintance with the nature of tubercles, &c , enables me to distinguish readily the various forms of dis ease that simulate consumption, and apply the proper remedies rarely being mistaken even in a single case. This familiarity in ' connection with certain pathologies! and mi croscopic discoveries, enables trie to relieve the lungs from the effects of contracted chests; to enlarge the chesl, purity the blood, impart to it renewed vitality, giving energy and tone I to the entire system. Medicines with full directions sent to any ' pari ot the United Stales and Canada* by | patients communicating their symptoms by I leuer. But the core would be more certain il the patient should pay rne a visit, which would give me an opportunity to examine the lungs and enable mn to prescribe with greater certainty, and then the cure could be effected without my seeing the patient again.

THE recent trials al Read * ' iave endorsed the cur- rent of public opinion, and cnnfirnied the verdict of more than 200 acci dental fires, proving conclusively thai "Her ring's" is the only sale that will not burn. Extract from the Committee's Rejiort on the Trial of Iron Sales at Reading: "On the 26th of February all the members of the Committee met to witness the Safes and books and papers, (placed in them; and were perfectly satistled that all was right.— Tho day following, the burning took place, tinder the superintendence of the Committee. Alter a fair and impartial burning fnr five hours, the Safe of Messrs. Evans & Watson was first opened, the Safe being on fire in side, and the contents partially consumed, while the contents in the Sale of Messrs. Farrels k Herring were in good coudition, and no fire inside." Reading, March 2, 1857. U. F. FELIX, 1 (Signed) P.N. COLEMAN. } Com. A. H.

Herring's Sale could not be burnt, proving conclusively that the only reliable Sale now made is Herring's, o( which over 15,000 are now in actuel use, and more than 200 have been tried by fire without a single loss.
