PATENTED MARCH 31st, 1863, JANUARY 31st, 1865, AND JULY 24th, 1866. OFFICE-No. 231 Broadway, Rooms 4 and 5, opposite City Hall Park, N.Y The advantages gained by the use of these improvements may be briefly stated as follows: 1st. The platforms are held in a plane with the silis on the cars. 24. The platforms cannot be broken by any ordinary accident. 3d. Telescoping is impossible. 4th. Any required compression may be attained, to prevent accidents by oscillation. 5th. No links and pins are required, and no one is required to go between cars to couple them. 6th. The platforms may be held as close together as desired, 7th. By close coupling the train is shortened. 8th. They will not accidently uncouple, 9th. They may be uncoupled without shutting off." to make a flying switch. 10th. They are strong; the train will not "break in two," at starting or while running. 11th. They cause the train to move steadily and not jerk in starting or stopping. 12th. They will work well at great variation of height. 13th. They will couple with all kinds of "draw heads" and couplers." 14th. They are cheap and durable. 15th. Injury to men when coupling cars is entirely prevented. 16th. Iujury to persons by falling between cars is entirely prevented. 17th. Injury to persons and to cars by "telescoping" is entirely prevented. 18th. Injury to persons and to cars by "oscilla tion" is entirely prevented 19th, The great steadiness of the cars, produced by compression, render sleeping cars much more desirable. 20th. Train Brakes" are rendered more valuable by the non-existence of "slack" in the train. No Railroad Manager who comprehends the case, fails to give these improvements a "trial." And all those who have tried them have adopted them.

It has been used for years, constantly increasing in popularity, being very pleasant to the taste and having no disagreeable effects. Do not let prejudice prevent you trying it. It is called "PISO'S CURE FOR CONSUMPTION," E. T. HAZELTINE, and is Sold by all Druggists. TESTIMONIALS. CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 19, 1872. Sir:-I have used your Piso's Cure, and regard it as the best medicine for what it is intended, that I have ever tried. Several Engineers have given it a high recommendation. I have an article written by an Engineer on the C. & P. R. R., recommending "Piso's Cure" very highly. After hearing so much said of your medicine as being excellent for men who are exposed to the weather, like Engineers, it occurred to me that you could not select a better medium to advertise it than through our "Journal." Yours truly, CHARLES WILSON, G. C. E. EXTRACT from an article in March JOURNAL, written by EDWIN SMITH, Jr., Engineer on C. & P. R. R. "As a Cough or Cold Medicine, to carry on our engines and for our families at home, I do not think there is anything better (if it has an equal) than "Piso's Cure for Consumption." It is a medicine truly worthy of trial, as I know by experience in my own family, also having seen much of it used outside of my own family. In recomending Piso's Cough Cure, I do so unknown to the proprietors of this medicine, as they are entire strangers to me, never having seen them; and I should think an advertisement from them would be beneficial both for them and the readers of the Journal. EDWIN SMITH, JB., Member of Div. 31, of the B. of L. E., Cleveland, O. BELLEVILLE, O., January 19, 1872. E. T. HAZELTINE, Sir:-Please send me at least six dozen of "Piso's Cure for Consumption," as early as convenient. Customers say it cures as if by magic. Yours, JAMES C. POTTS. NATIONAL BANK OF MIDDLETOWN, Middletown, Pa., January 17, 1872. E. T. HAZELTINE, Sir:-I have been using the "Piso's Cure for Consumption" for some time, and had fully proven its efficacy 'ere I wrote you; it has not only removed a pain I had in my breast, but has increased my appetite, and invigorated my whole system. It excels any medicine I ever used before. E. T. HAZELTINE, PETERSBURG, VA., February 12, 1872. Dear Sir:-Soon after the war, in a bill of goods from Lazell, Marsh & Gardner, I found two bottles thrown in as samples; having a cough at the time I tried one and was relieved. The other cured a man here, who apparently was far gone in Consumption. Dr. one of our leading Physicians, has a daughter who has had several hemorrhages and was rapidly declining. He said he could not help her. The effects of "Piso's Cure for Consumption" in the case mentioned above, induced him to try it, and it cured her. Dr. with several other of our leading Physicians, (though for bidden by the rules of a Medical Faculty to prescribe a "patent medicine") always permit the use of it by their patients; they pronounce it the best Cough Remedy hey know. Yours, O. P. HARE. *The name of the Physician is given by our Correspondent, but for obvious reasons it is omitted here. GLASS WATER GAUGES & SPRING BALANCES FOR LOCOMOTIVES.
