Sunxer Frvirs.—Acids prontote the separation of the vile from the blood, which is then
passed from the system, thus preventing fevers,
the prevailing diseases of Summer. All fevers
are billious—that is, the bile is in the blood.
Whatever is antagonistic to fever is cooling.
It ig a common snying that fruits are “ cooling,
aud also berries of every description ; it is because the acidity which they contain aids in
purifying the blood. Hence, the great yearnings for greens, and lettuce, and salads in the
early Spring, tbese being eaten with vinegar ;
hence, also, the taste for something sour, for
Jemonades, on an attack of fever. But this
being the cuse. it is easy to see that we nullify
the good effects of fruits and berries in proportion as we eat them with sugar, or even sweet
milk or cream. If we cat them in their natural state, fresh. ripe, perfect, it is almost imossible to eat too many—to eat cnongh to
nrt us, especially if we eat them alone, not
taking any liqnid with them whatever.
More than 300 dend bodies which were
found in New York and the harbor last year,
were buried without recognition.

THE EXCELSIOR ©
GRINDER AND AMALGAMATOR,

Openings,
The relative grinding capacities of “The Excelsior” Grinder
and Amalgamator, of the Flat Bottomed Pan, and of the Conical
Pan when properly constructed, are respectively 177, 98 und 110.
Thut is, ihe respective inullers being of the same diameter,
same weight, same hardness, and ruaning at the same velocity
“The Excelsior Grinder and Amalgamuator’” will reduce one hundred and seventy-seven tons of ore, the Flat Bottomed Pan ninetyeight tons, and the Conical Pan one hundred and ten tons to the
same degree of fineness in the samo time.
Tho wear to the Shoes and Dies at their grinding surfices in the
Excelsior Grinder and Amalgamator, is perfectly uniform, thus
securing evenness of reduction to the pulp, as well as steadinese
of inotion to the muller. Uniform wear of tho grinding plates
has been attained in no other than that of the Tractory form—nor
can it be. :
Another property of excellence in this machinc is that the metal
or substance to be amalgamated passes direct from the grinding
surfuces into the quicksilver ; thus excluding tho possibility of its
becoming coated with any foreign substances, after having been
burnished. It is truthfully said “that tho Tractory-formed Pan
as 2 Grinder has no cqnal, and as an Amalgamator no superior.”
As a whole, it is far superior to auy other pan in uso.

The undersigned having had several yeara of experience in practical

parties interested in mining and machinery any desired information
which they may possess.

Tho attention of the Public is respectfully called to these
ucts:
1st. That the Mechanical work accomplighed by differently
formed grinding plates, having the samo diaineter, weight, hardness, and reyolviog at the samo velocity, is as follows, to wit.
The Mechanical Work of planc, circular plates of the usual
ring forin, is nincty-eight.....+secesensseeee 0+ qaEeeoG 98
The Mechanical work of conical plates of the most upproved
form, is one hundred and ten 110
The Mechanical work of Tractory-formed plates, as introduced
in the invention of Wheeler & Randall, is one hundred and
a 177
That is, the Tractory-formed grinding plates will reduce one
hundred and seventy-seven tons of ore, the conical grinding plates
ouc hundred and ten tons, and the plane circular grinding plates
nincty-eight tons, to the same degree of fineness in the same time.
Those using this invention certify that they thoroughly reduce
five tons of ore, as it ordinarily comes from the wet battery, per
day in each pan, four feet diameter, the muller making sixty-five
revolutions per minute.
2d. That asa whole, the Wheeler & Randall Grinder ond Amalgamator is onc of the most simplo, compact, substantial, convenicnt and efficient pans in uso.
