CHILSON'S
PATENT ELEVATED DOUBLE OVEN COOKING RANGE.
G. CHILSON'S COCK.SO ANGE, BOSTON
This very superior Range, now in such general use, needs only to be seen to be appreciated for the great improvements realized in this inven- tion over any other plan of Range in the United States. It is entirely new in principle, having five claims patented for improvements not found in any other Range. Its unparalleled economy in the consumption of fuel; its quick and even-baking ovens; its patent self-regulating flues around the ovens, (without the usual vexatious complication of dampers found in the common Ranges) : its cast-iron flue-plates around the oven, preventing loss of heat in the chimney ; its superior, fine, heavy castings. and general beauty of design, and conveniences, cannot fail to commend themselves to all using Ranges.
Sizes in variety, for dwellings, hotels, &c., with or without Water- backs, for Bath-Boilers, and other washing purposes; also, HOT-AIR FIXTURES, for heating additional rooms, when desired.
No housekeeper will long use any other plan of Cooking Range, after an examination of this.
CHILSON'S NEW PARLOR STOVE,
For Parlors, Chambers, Offices, Stores, &c. This Stove keeps fire day and night, and warms the floor for a great distance around it. It has a nice arrangement for ventilating the room. An Oven and Boiler attached; when desired, for Dining- room :. All are invited to examine this invention. For sale, Wholesale and Retail, at the Subscriber's Store,
Nos. 99 & 101 BLACKSTONE ST., BOSTON,
Or at his Foundry, in Mansfield, Mass.

CHILSON'S
PATENT
CONE FURNACES.
Patented in the United States, England, and France.
A GOLD MEDAL was awarded to this Furnace at a recent Fair of the Massachusetts Charitable Mechanic Association, and the only gold medal ever awarded to any Furnace in Massachusetts.
1.11
The extensive use of this superior Furnace in the United States has acquired for it a reputation too well and favorably known to need more at this time than to call the special attention of those in want of the best possible means of warming dwellings, public buildings, &c., with pure, fresh, healthful heat (free from that scorching, dry. red-hot-iron beat and coal gas so common to hot- air furnaces). to an examination of this superior invention, which represents a cluster of Cones or tapering Radiators, over a broad, flaring, shallow fire-pot. These cones, being large at the base and smail at the top secure the great and important object of retaining and holding the smoke and gases back, in contact with the burning fuel. - thus thoroughly consuming the gases, while their heat is compressed up into the cones, and made to impinge against and radiate from the tapering surfaces, - thereby securing trice the heat from a given amount of coal than can be ob- tained from any other plan known to man. This Furnace is very simple in its construction, and easily managed, and much less liable to need repairs than any other kind of furnace in use.
Also, Five Sizes of Portable Furnaces, on the same principle. The subscriber would call the special attention of those in want of Portable Furnaces to this invention, which cannot fail of giving perfect satisfaction.
Chilson's New Cooking Stove will show advantages which all must admit to be the greatest improvements yet made for a strictly first-class Stove. Sizes adapted for Dwellings, Hotels, &c., with or without Water Backs, Extension-Tops, and Hot-Closets.

SYMPTOMS OF CATARRH BY
A. P. LIGHTHILL, M.D.
The first sensation is usually a feeling of dryness and heat in the nose, and a frequent incli- nation to sneezing. There is an inability to breathe freely, as the nose becomes stopped up. sometimes on one side, sometimes on the other.
Soon a clear, watery, acril discharge makes Its appearance, excoriating the nostrils and edges of the lips, which become rei and somewhat swollen. After a few days, the discharge becomes thick, yellowish, extremely fre quent, and continues to be a marked feature of the dis- ease, and a source of much danger and the greatest annoyance. After more or less time, it becomes purulent. highly offensive, and assumes an extremely fetid odor. It is usually so profuse as to require, when confined to the nose, the frequent application of the handkerchief; or, if it drops into the throat, which is more particularty the case while the body is in a hori- zontal position, constant expectoration, and sometimes both.
Sleep is frequently disturbed by a sensation of choking, caused by the presence of the dis- charge in the throat. Owing to the heat in the head, the watery portion of the discharge often evaporates, and, assuming a condition of solidity, is deposited upon the m mbrane of the nose and upper part of the throat in the shape of ernsts or hardened lumps. The accumulation of these ifierastations produces a feeling of di comfort, and narrows the nasal passages so as to embarrass respiration. Therefore frequent efforts have to be made to ren ove them, either by forcibly blowing the nose, or bv persisteut hawking, a practice as disagreeable to the one affected as it is to those around him. After the removal, that side of the inerustation which adhered to the mucous membrane will sometimes be found bloody, a fact which explains the force required for its dislodgement. Daring steep these merustations accumulate more rap- idly, and the feeling is therefore most uncomfortable in the morning. Sometimes, all efforts to clear the throat are futile until after breakfast, or after something warm is swallowed. Some patients state that they are not snecessful nutil they have swallowed some whiskey or brandy. The disharge, which is at first without smell, assumes in the progress of the com- plaint an excessively fetil odor; the breath participates in this, and becomes occasionally so revoltingly offensive as to render the patient an object of disgust to himself as well as to others. Ulceration of the mucous membrane of the nose takes place frequently. sometimes even attacking the bones, when small particles of that substance will occasionally he found mixed with the discharge. The accumulation of the discharge, together with the thickened condition of the mucous membrane, renders respiration through the nasal passages very diffi- eult, and oftentimes impossible, neces-itating respiration principally through the mouth, a method very delet, rious to the general health, but more particularly so to the lungs, as will be shown hereafter. The unpleasant noise produced during sleep, known as sporing. origi- nates from the same cause. The voice loses its musical quality, and assumes a discordant. harsh, and nasal character; the sense of smell becomes much impaired or enthely lost, and the sanne effeet, though less frequent, is produced on the sense of taste. Occasionally, while blowing the nose, a crackling or babbling sound will be heard in the car, and hear- ing will be tonrd thick and stopped up, but returns suddenly with something like a snapping sound. This phenomenon is usually repeated until at one time hearing does not return, and remains permanently injured. Noises in the head, of every conceivable description, will make their appearance, and add to the distress of the sufferer, and hearing may be lost so gradually thit a considerable degree of deafness may exist before the person is really aware of the fact. The eyes are apt to become weak, irritable, and disposed to water on exposure to cold and · wind, or after the slightest exertion. A pain, more or kss acute, or a distressing feeling of pres- sure, is experienced over the eyes, and sometimes on the top or back of the head, and also pain in the face, closely resembling neuralgia, for which it is very often mistaken. The dis- tress in the head weakens the memory, and produces irritability and moroseness of disposition. The stomach generally suffers more or less, is weak and irritable; the appetite is capricious, and is nearly always bad in the morning. In severe cases the system be, omes tecble and prostrated, and there is an aversion or inability to either physical or mental exertion. Not unfrequently Catarrh proves fatal, either by debilitating the system and wearing out the patient, or by travelling downward and producing throat affection, bronchitis, and, finally, CONSUMPTION. It may be safely asserted, that, atter hereditary predisposition, Catarrh is the inost frequent and important cause of this fatal comptait.
The symptoms of Catarrh vary considerably in different individuals, and the degree of their severity depends upon constitutional idiosincrasies and various external influences. With somo the compl unt continues for a number of years in a mild form and without causing any of the injurious r. sulis above described, while with others all the worst effects are produced in a very short space of time, and cases, apparently mo-t harmless, mas, through imprudent exposure, aeditionat cold, or unfavorable changes of weather, suddenly exhibit all the Violence and mailzuty which characterizes the severest. ones.
