EMintOCATION!
IOR ALL DISEASES INCIDENT TO
Horses, Cuttle and the Human flesh,
requiring the use of tin external application.
This new Compound, prepared by a prac
tical Chemist having a full knowledge of
all the medical virtues of each ingredient
that enters into its composition, is warran
ted to exceed anything of the kind yet of
fered to the public as an external applica
tion fr the diseases for which it is recom
mended. Wc nre satisfied that it will work
its own road into the confidence of all who
use it, nnd thoso w ho try it once will never
be without it, and therefore we rely on ex
perience as the best test of its usefulness.
It is pronounced by Farriers, and all who
have tried it to bo the best application ev
er used. This Embrocation has been put
up for over eight years, and it is only
through the increasing demand ami urgent
request of my friends and the l'ublic that
send it forth as the grand remedial agent
for thcyvarious diseases to which that noble
und useful animal, the HOUSE, is subject.
Many remedies have been offered to the
l'ublic under different forms, some of these
arc injurious, others at best of little use,
and many wholly improper to answer the
purposes for which they arc recommended.
A judicious and really useful composition
free from those objections, has therefore
long been desired by many gentlemen who
have valuable horses, nnd nre unwilling to
trust them to the euro of designing and
pretending Farriers. Their wishes are at
length fully gratified, by Dr. ltenlo being
prevailed upon to allow this valuublc Em
brocation (which has proved so efflencious
to the various diseases) to be prepared and
brought out to the public.
This ciubrocatiun was extensively used
Jy the Government during the war.
Address all orders to

rnilE MOST KEL! AISLE CUSHION used
I ou liilliard Tables is the
CAT-GUT CUSHION,
Manufactured by Karanagh & Decker, and
patented Dec IS, lsiiii. (See Scientific Am
erican, volume Dl, number 11.)
Ii is the ONLY Cushion that poscsscss
nil the qualities essenlial toa perfect Cush
ion. If is the most elastic and most durable
Cushion ever offered to the lu'.liard-playing
j'dblie, as is abundantly proven by the
fieat demand for it since its introduction.
The peculiarity which distinguishes the
("AT -GIT Cushion iiiui renders it Mipcrioi
to all others, is the lightened cord of cat
gut which overlies the face and edge of the
rubber, and running the full length of the
Cushion, which prevents t he ball from bed
ding into the rubber and jumping from the
table. The addition of the cat-gut cord
also adds much to the elasticity of the Cush
ion. The CAT-GUT Cushion has already been
applied to over KKIO tables ' which are in
constant use. It can be applied to tables
of anv make, for S7' per set.
KAYAXAG II & DECKER'S Factory, at
the corner of Centre and Canal Streets, N.
Y., is the most complete of iis kind in ihe
w orld. The machinery is of the most im
proved character, the lumber drying room
the largest in the United Slates, the mate

LARGE CAPACITY, CREAT Slregnlh
and unequalled speed, simplicity and
completeness of operation, are qualities pe.
culinr to the
Nonpareil Washing Ma
chine. It is a squeezing mnchine constructed on
strictly mechanical principles, and the ex
perience derived from five years extensive
use in fcmilies, hotels and public institutions
proves it to be of lasting value to the pur.
chaser
The manner of operating the Nonpareil,
by rotary motion aoting on a crank shaft
with balance wheel,) which moves the
plungers alternately, is the simplest, least
laborious nnd most powerful that cin be de
vised for the purpose, and accomplishes the
work with the greatest rapidity and the
least possible labor.
The great speed with which this machine
performs work will be understood from the
statement that it is geared lo give six strokes
of the plungers for one turn of the handle,
or, when worked leisurely, about four hun
dred strokes a minute Safety to the fabrio
washed is insured by the entire absence of
rubbing.
A girl or boy of fifteen can work the ma.
chine, and do a week's washing for a f imily
of six or eight persons in two to three hours'
time; and it. may be relied on to cleanse the
clothing thoroughly, without assistance
from hand rubbing.
