Cancers Cured! OR NO CHARGE.
DR. KINGSLEY, OF ROME, N. Y.,
Has discovered a perfect cure for Cancers withont the use of the knife. Thousands of cases cured can testify to the efficacy of this plan of treatment. This preparation will destroy the specific nature of most Cancers in from ten to sixty minutes. Even in those large Cancerons affections of the breast, from which so many females die annually, my specific is equally as effectual as in those smaller surface Cancers. Ninety-nine out of a hundred of all those persons who have died from Cancer, could easily have been cured. Cancer has been considered from time immemorial the greatest scourge of the human race ; but the time will come when all shall see that it is as remediable as any other dis- ease. At the same time remedies are given to purify the blood and fortify the system against a renewed attack. In all cases, if the Cancer is not too far advanced, a perfect cure is warranted, or no charge.
Most persons are greatly deceived in regard to the first symptoms and appearance of Cancer, considering it very painful from the commencement. This is a sad mistake, (causing the death of thousands,) there being but little or no pain until the Cancer is far advanced. The only symptoms for months, and in some cases even for years, is occa- sionally either a stinging, itching, smarting, burning, creeping or shooting sensation, and in some cases not even any of these. Nearly all of those kernels or lumps that occur in the female breast, and also those unnatural appearances in the form of crusts or warty excrescence, which appear in either sex on the face, lips, nose, eye lids, or any other part of the surface, are cancers. Cancer is very easily cured in its early stage, consequently it is of the very greatest importance that all this afflicted should have immediate treat- ment ; as thousands of very valuable lives have been lost from pure neglect, having been misguided by physicians having no knowledge of the disease, who, by calling it Scrofula, Erysipelas, Salt Rheum or some other non-terrifying disease, lull this unfortunate class in the cradle of ignorance, until upon the very verge of deatli, when, to hide such ignor- ance, the physician tells the patient that it has finally turned to Cancer, and cannot be cured. There is no such thing as turning to Cancer. Whatever ends in Cancer, began in Cancer. Be no longer deceived. If you have the slightest suspicion of trouble, seek immediate relief and thereby preserve life.
Consumption, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma, Heart Disease, Dyspepsia, Liver Com- plaint, Fits, St. Vitus' Dance, Neuralgia, Scald Head, Piles, Tape Worms, or Worms of any kind, all Diseases of the Skin, Pimples, Scrofula or King's Evil, Fever Sores, Spinal Diseases, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsy, Diabetes, Kidney Diseases, Gravel, and all Diseases peculiar to Males or Females, successfully treated.
Warts, Corns, Bunions, Moles, Wens, Birth-Marks, Tumors &c., removed. Especial attention given to the treatment of Crooked Feet, Legs, Arms, Spine, Neck, and all other deformities. Cross Eyes straightened, Hare-Lips cured by an entirely new plan of oper- ating. Operations for Stone in the Bladder, Polypus, Strangulated Hernia, Fistula, or the cure of False and Crooked Joints, and all deformities of the Eye Lids, Nose, Lips, Neck &c., resulting from Burns or Wounds, performed upon the most scientific princi- ples. All Diseases of the Eye and Ear treated with very great success.
Especial attention given to the treatment of all diseases originating from the errors of misguided Youth.
Patients from a distance, except in Surgical and Cancer cases, by sending a full des- cription of their symptoms, can have medicines sent by Mail or Express, and be treated at home.
All letters promptly answered, and medicines ordered, immediately forwarded.
The Doctor is a graduate with an experience of over fourteen years in the practice of medicine, twelve of which have been spent in Rome.
N. B .- All persons troubled with Asthma should send for Dr. Kingsley's ASTHMA SPECIFIC, which is warranted to relieve any case or money refunded.
Send for DR. KINGSLEY'S AGUE SPECIFIC, which is purely vegetable and never fails to cure.
All troubled with a Congh of any kind should be sure to send for DR. KINGSLEY'S COUGH BALSAM, which cures as by magic.
For Further Particulars, Write the Doctor.

INTRODUCTION.
INTRODUCTION.
In presenting to the public the initial number of the " Gazet- teer and Directory of Rensselaer County," the publisher desires to return his sincere thanks to all who have so kindly assisted in obtaining the valuable information which it contains, and without whose aid it would have been impossible to collect it in the brief space of time in which it is essential that all such works should be completed. Especially are our thanks due to the several editors of The Troy Times, Troy Whig, Troy Press and Lansingburgh Gazette, for the uniform kindness which has been evinced in calling public attention to the author's efforts ; and to the following persons, viz., E. W. Greenman, County Clerk, G. Robertson, Jr., Assessor Internal Revenue, Troy ; W. L. Cottrell, School Commissioner, Poestenkill; F. H. Stevens, Librarian of Troy Young Men's Association ; S. V. R. Miller, Mechanicsville ; J. F. Knickerbocker, Schaghticoke; Rev. A. H. Brush, Nassau; and to many others in various parts of the County who have kindly volunteered their aid. ..
The following works were consulted in its preparation : "French's Gazetteer of the State of New York ;" " Geological Report ;" "Documentary History of New York ;" "History of Rensselaerwyck ;" " Pictorial Field Book of the Revolution;" " Reminiscences of Troy ;" "New York State Census Reports of 1865," and many other works.
That errors may have occurred in so great a number of names and dates as are here given, is probable, and that names have been omitted that should have been inserted is quite certain. We can only say that we have exercised more than ordinary dili- gence and care in this difficult and complicated feature of book- making. Of such as feel aggrieved in consequence of error or omission, we beg pardon, and ask the indulgence of the reader in marking such as were observed in the subsequent reading of. the proofs, and which are noted in the Errata, following the Introduction.
The Map of the County was engraved with great care by Messrs. "Weed, Parsons & Co.," of Albany, and, it is believed, will prove a valuable acquisition to the work.
The Advertisers represent some of the leading business men and firms of the County, and also many enterprising and reli- able dealers in other parts of the State. We most cheerfully commend them all to the patronage of those under whose obser- vation these pages may come.
With thanks to friends generally, we leave our work to secure the favor which earnest endeavor ever wins from a discriminat- ing business public. " HAMILTON CHILD.

The first auger factory in Brunswick was started by Major Joseph H. Allen, Eagle Mills. The first grist mill was built by - Cross, in 1772, with no tools but an ax, saw and auger.
