The Eight Man Corns at Last—Or, the
Progress of Medicine,
It was wiili no ordinary pride and satisfaction that
r. e :a‘ely had the honor of an introduction to one ol
the most eminent men cf the age, the English phy
sician, Professor Thomas Holloway, a gentleman
ivh6 has done more for the advancement of medical
scienco than any other that can be named, not ex
cluding such renowned “savans” as Abercrombie,
Kush, Clark, or Mejendie. The Professor has
been recently travelling in the United States, hav
ing vi*itd this country for the purpose of establish
ing a depot for the sale of his medicines in New
York. It is true that our public have Jong been fa
miliar with his great reputation, but, partly owing
to the duty imposed upon imported medicines
and partly to the unwillingness of physicians and
druggists to advance the interests of a professional
brother, whose superior knowledge and skill threa
tened to oast their own pretensions in the shade, the
-ale (although great) in America of his wonderful
remedies has not yet equalled the enormous demand
which exists throughout the whole of Europe, Aus
tralia, the East Indies, and most other parts of the
civilized world. It was for this reason that ths.
Professor, a few mohths ago, determined to make
New York the location of a great American depot
for the preparation and sale of his medicines, rival
ling in extent and usefulness his celebrated establish
ment in London, which, as all travellers know is one
of the “institutions” o? that city. We have reason
to congratulate ourselves, and especially our sick
and afflicted fellow-citizens, upon his felicitous reso
lutions.
For proceeding step by step, on strictly scientific
principles, the Professor, at the early part of his ca
reer, attained to a discovery, which placed him a
bove all competition in the triumphs of the healing
art. He'noticed how much of the boasted medical
knowledge of the present day was empirical and how
little was really known of the laws of human physi
ology. Continuing his investigations, a happy
thought struck him, like an inspiration, and he loca
ted the seat of every disease—no matter what its na
ture and diagnosis—in the blood. The blood has
vitality; the blood is alive; it is indeed in the lan
guage of scripture, “the life of man.” If that stream
of existence is impure, how can the human being be
otherwise than feeble, exhausted, emaciated and af
flicted by various forms of disease ? To purify the
blood, and keep it pure, is virtually, to banish sick
ness from the earth. Here, then is hope for the suf
serer. The poor invalid, despairing of recovery,
may go fo> -,h into the w -rid a renovated an 1 strong
man, Profossoi Holloway's treatment eradicates
all our ailments; whether they are o i the stomach,
liver, kidney.-, lungs, heart or skin, he refers their
origin to the blood and restores the apparently dis
eased organ to pristine and perfect health. Knowing
this, as we do, from the experience of our friends, as
well as from our own, wc discharge but a Samaritan
duty to the public, by a cordial lecommendation ol
Holloway’s Pills and Ointment—tip former for inter
nal derangements ofthe system; the latter for exter
nal application to wounds and sores, which have re
sisted every other so-called remedy.— N. Y. Atlae.
A Thrilling Scene,
A sub-marine diver from Buffalo has at last suc
ceeded in raising the safe of the American Express
Company, which was lost when the steamer Atlantic
was sunk off Long Point in 1852. It will be recol
lected that this steamer was instantly sunk by colli
sion with a propeller, and that a large number of pas
sengers were lost. The diver was protected by a
copper armor, and was-under the water forty min
utes. The upper deck of the steamer lies one hun
dred and sixty feet und-r water, and far below
where there is any current cr motion. Everything
therefore is exactly as it first went down. When
the diver alighted upon the deck, he was saluted by
a beautiful lady whose clothing was well arranged,
and her hair elegantly dressed.
As he approached her, the motion of the water
caused an oscillation of the head, as if gracefully
bowing to him. She was standing erect, with one
hand grasping the rigging. Around lay the bodies
of several others, as if sleeping. Children holding
their friepds by then- hands, and mothers with their
babes in there arpis were there. In the cabin the
furniture) was stijl untouched by decay, and to all
appearance had just been arranged by some careful
hand.
In the office he found the safe, and was enabled
to move it with ease, and took it upon deck, where
’the grappling irons were fastened on, and the prize
brought safely to the light. Upon opening the safe
it displayed its contents in a perfect state of preser
vation. Jhere was in tho safe $5,000 in gold, SB,-
GOO in bills of the Government Stock Bank, and a
large amount of bills on other banks, amounting in
i all to about $30,000. The papers were uninjured,
except that they smelled very strongly of decayed
human bodies, as if if had lain for many years in a
coffin with their owner. Cjf course, ajl this money
goes Wthe persons interested in the wonderful ad
venture.
‘I he Free Press says: “The new bills, we
are told, are comparatively uninjured by their long
imprisonment and exposure' to dampness, but the
old ones are quite injured and defaced—whether so
much as to prevent their identification and redemp
tion, wc have not learned. There are several thou
sand dollars on the exploded Government Stock
Rank ol Ann Arbor, included in the amount recov

Useful Invention.
Among the machines on exhibition at the agricul
tural exposition in Paris is one for the hulling wheat.
It is said that Ly the methods now in use, the bran
when it is separated from the wheat, carries away
with it at least twenty per cent, of nutritive matter.
The new process reduces this amount to four per
cent. The hulled grains of wheat, seen through a
rr croscope, present a perfect; smooth and polished
appearance, something like that of potatoes whe
the -kin bus been removed by washing. The bran j
itself is but a pellicle, of which excellent paper is
now made. The inventor of the machine, M. Bes
nire de la Pontonarie, affirms that if thin process had
been applied to the grain consumed in France the
past year, the crops, instead of presenting a deficit
of seven million hectolitres, would have shown a
surplus of three million hectolitres. The hectolitre
is a fraction over two and three-qu .rter bushels.
The cost of hulling a hectolitre of wheat by the new
process is about four cents.
/ndrew Marshall in New York,
The “Elder” mentioned in the subjoined para
graph, take* from the N. Y. Times of last Monday,
is of course the pastor of one ofthe African church
es of Savannah :
A PREACHER A CENTCRY OLD.
It was announced in last week’s dailies that one
Elder Marshal], a gentleman “upwards of a century
old,” would preach on Sunday in the Oliver street
Baptist church (Rev. Dr. Magoon’s). Accordingly, a
large congregation assembled in that place yester
day, and the Elder appeared. He is a colored man
101 years of age, still robust and hearty, with a full
toned voice and a manner far from disagreeable.
His residence is in the State of Georgia.
of pulpit oratory is pecaliar: he uses no notes, and
talks desultorily and in conversational fashion. He
lamented that he was no educated man, in fact, he
said, he “never had a day’s learning in his life,” but
found consolation for this deprivation in the reflec
tion of that Apostles themselves were but fishermen,
tent makers, and publicans. The Elder’s hair is
white as the driven snow, his skin is of dark rauiat
tohuc, his form stout, and weighs probably about
200 pounds, features unmistakably African, head
well developed, and voice sonorous arid deep. It wag
a wonderful thing to note the readiness and apparent
ease with which a man of his years sustained the
labors of the pulpit of a hot July morning in a crow
ded church. His subject was the Divinity of Christ.
In the course ofliis remarks, he declared that he
felt a call to preach, and that an uncle of his, a black
man, who was moved by the same spirit, once
preached to the sable sons of Africa in the Southern
States, and was arrested therefor, stripped and whip*
ped; but after his flaggellation deel ired that he
couldn’t stop preaching till his head was off, and so
was permitted to go on. This man. the Elder de
clared did more good than ever did Mr. Webster or
Cky, and proved a faithful worker in the Gospel
field. After similar anecdotes, intermingled with
bits of personal experience the Elder proceeded to
deliver a very fair doctrinal sermon, which was heard
with attention.
The Emperor and the Heir Imperial.
The Paris correspondent of the London Court
Journal, states that the private ball recently given
at St. Cloud, in France, in honor of Prince Oscar of
Sweden, was the most brilliant in pAnt of toilet and
aristocracy of company which has been given since
the accession i.o the throne of the Emperor Napoloon
111. Thu Empress, though in a languid state of
health, was present for a short time. She was attired
in white, with an immense rich lace mantilla, seem
ing to envelope h rt r from bead to foot in its transpa
rent folds, whence the diamonds peeped out on ev
every side with dazzling brilliancy. Her head-dress
consisted of abroad bandeau of hrilliants, with two
large cactus flowers drooping on either side of her
face, the petals of the flowers consisting of diamonds
fix and upon elastic spring, which, sparkling with
most dazzling brilliancy, followed the movement of
the head with infinite grace.
The imperial infant has received from the Bey of
Tunis a present of another cradle, more elegant and
more expensive than that in which his royal Injh
nc-sc has hitherto designed to compose himself to
rest. The cradle is of silver gilt. Around the edg<
was a bolder of aiabesques in precious stones of
great juice, and the value of the star alone, with
which the curtain ispinnen, is computed to be worth
seventy-five thousand dollars. The net work cur
tain, composed of fine seed pearl, was made by the
ladies of the Bey’s harem, one of whom the Bey de
clares*, to be descended from the family of the Pro
phet—thus inventing it with a sort of sanctity.
Shocking Case of Insanity.
A letter from Vienna, in the Zeit of Berlin, con
tains the following:
An event has just taken place here which has been
much talked of. A clerk, in a merchant’s office,
whilst working at his desk, felt a sort of presenti
ment of coming danger, which led tym to return
home. He there found his wife in bed, as she had
been confined of a son only three days before.
She was dressed. Her eyes were haggard, and her
looks animated by fever.
She said to him, “It is well that you came, for I
will now roast the goose, which will be ready at
once.'’ At the same moment tl\e clerk heard the
cry of a child in the kitchen. rushed to the spot,
ana found tho hew born child tied up and laying in
the frying pan. The mother taken suddenly with
whitemilk fever, had taken her child for a goose,
and was about to put it to death. The father happi
ly arrived in time to prevent such a catastrophe.
The Czar and his Mother.
ihe footing on which the present Emperor stands
with hia mother, pie Dowager. Empress, is described
to be of the roost affectionate and cordial nature in
spite of the notorious difference of their views ; the
mother remains still as closely wedded to the ideas
of the late Emperor as she was to himself in life; tho
son embracing the power thus early committed by
Providence to bis hapdg $3 a welcome opportunity
of working ouj; another set of principles and views.
It is related that-when the young Emperor was pre
paring, on the day of his father’s death, to receive
the homage of the vest of his femily and of the digni
taries of the State as Emperor, shortly before he
would have entered tho marble saloon, whero they
were all assembled, his mother entered his room a
lone, to be the first to greet him as Emperor; she
had left thq bier of tlip husband she had loved so
truly, had dried her tears arid clothed herself with
all tho insignia of imperial uuyesty, the white satin
robe of state, &c t ., and set her crown on her head, to
do full and official honor to her son on his accession
to the throne. —Berlin correspondence of tjip Times.
fellow Fever at Havana and Matanzar
The ship Lady Franklin, from Matanzas for Tri
este, spoken at sea come days since, by the steam e.
Black Warrior, arrived at quarantine New York, on
Sunday, with nearly the whole crew disabled by
yellow fever. Matanzas is usually a very healthy
port, and the captain of the L. F., reports that m
fever prevailed there until recently, and not un*il
several vessels had arrived there from Havana, hav
ing yellow fever on board. From Havana vessels,
the fever first spread among the shipping at Matan
zas, and then into the town.

The Oxygenated Bitters.
From the Boston Olive Branch.
Among themany popular 4 medicines which have
acquired a high reputation, we believe none have
been found of much benefit for dyspepsia, asthma,
and similar complaints, till the Oxygenated Bitters,
by many and various trials and experiments, ha
been found a sure and radical remedy—a desidera
tum long desired by physicians. Its ingredients
have been shown by chemical analysis to bo harm
less and safe ; and from the testimonials of many of
our first citizens who have been benefittedby it, we
feel assured that those indisposed with the above
complaint can rely upon these Bitters with safety.
These celebrated Bitters have received the high
est testimonials ever offered in favor of any medi

Dubuque, lowa, May 5,1855.
Gentlemen:—l feel under obh'gations to you for
the benefit I have received from your invaluable
Pain Killer. A few days since I assisted in laying
out and burying one of our citizens who was suppos
ed to have died with the Cholera. The next morn
ing I was taken with a severe vomiting, accompani
ed with coldness of the extremities. Warm cover
ing and hot applications failed to restore warmth.
My wife’s family, who had used the Pain Killer with
success-during the Cholera season in Buffalo, in 1840
advised me to take it. I took two doses at intervals
of fifteen minutes; a fine perspiration ensued, and
the next day, barring a little wean ness, I was well,
and have used the Pain Killer as a remedy for Chol
era, pronouncing it good. I therefore take pleasure
in recommending it to a still more extensive notice.

it may concern; wishing them to remember that he
continues at his old stand, near Penfield.
Having associated with him D. H. Herron, in the
iractice of Medicine, in its various branches, is now
more fully prepared to attend to chronic cases at a
distance, upon the same liberal terms, that ha lias
done for several years, namely : any person who be
ing afflicted with any form of disease, that will write
out their symptoms, and inclose therewith five dol
lars, and send the same to our address, will receive in
return, medicine and directions to suit their case, for
one month. Many persons have been treated and
cured upon this plan, with a great saving to tho af
flicted; some of them living from 50 to over 100
miles, numbers of whom wo have never seen, while
we have had the consolation of meeting others after
their convalescence.
The undersigned has been closely engaged in the
practice for more than 20 years, adhering strictly to
the use of sanative remedies which are used in the
Reformed Practice; having had much experience in
the treatment of female diseases peculiar to this cli
