11 AS established a greater celebrity than
lias ever been obtained by any otliet
Starch.
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.

icrn. giving that lone and energy o indis
pensable tor the restoration ot health. To be
able to *tain confidently that Consumption ie
curable by inhalation, ie to me a source of
unalloyed |>leneurp It i* as much under the
control ot medical treatment a* any jther
formidable disease; ninety out ol avery hun
dred cases can tie cured in the first rages,
and fifty per cent, in the second; tint in the
third mage it is impossible to save more than
five per cent., tor die luugs are o cot up by
the disease as to bid defiance to medical
skill. 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

cnnfirnied the verdict of more than 200 acci

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."

of ati agent's store, [H. A. Laniz,] made dou
ble thickness, (different from those they sell)
to "burn up" one ol Herring's, (half as thick)
has met with its Hue reward. Herring's Sale
could not be burnt, proving conclusively that
the only reliable Sale now made is Herring's,

certify that everything connected with them

to send orders for tickets to Maryland, at
lotteries are legalized by special law in that
slate. A lottery is drawn every day of the
