It is almost unnecessary to state within the compass of a brief notice like this that the principles of homeo- pathy were partially enunciated by Hippocrates, the Worthington & Co.
" father of medicine" (about 400 B.C.) who asserted that medicines sometimes acted according to the rule of similia, at others according to that of contraria; thus imitating the truth of both the allopathic law of contra- ria, and the homeopathic law of similia. Homeopathic remedies and treatment have now been in daily use nearly a hundred years. Their advent in the days of Hahnemann were signalized upon the occasion of an unusually fatal epidemic of scarlet fever, which pre- vailed at Konigslutter in 1779. Hahnemann, guided by the law of similia, selected Belladonna as the appro- priate remedy, administering it in minute doses, the curative effect was marked and decided. In 1801 his experiments with Belladon- na in scarlet fever was pub- lished at Gothia, and created much interest and no little opposition in Germany. In the same ycar he published a reply to the objections raised against his state- ments, on the ground that so small a dose must be pow- erless, in which he says: "To the ordinary practition- er, it is incredible that a person when siek is violent- ly affected by a millioneth part of the same drug that he swallowed with impunity when he was well. Will physicians ever learn how infinitely small may be the dose that is sufficient for a cure, when the system of the patient is raised to a condi- tion of intense and morbid sensitiveness? - So power- fully do such quantities act upon the over-sensitive brain that the most serious dis- ease is sometimes subdued in a few honrs."
The firm of A. F. Wor- thington & Co. keep on hand all kinds of both pathy, their stock of books, comprising nearly 1,000 volumes.
In America, especially, the progress of homeopathy in thic esteem of the people, and the snecess with which its principles and practice have been applied to the most difficult and obstinate cases, has been most ex- traordinary. This is owing in great measure, no doubt, to the skill of our physicians; but all their art and experience would have proved unavailing had they been unassisted by such houses as that of A. F.

With- in this building is arrayed in the most systematic and perfect order, machinery of the latest invention and highest order, by which, with the aid of about two hundred men, the establishment is enabled to turn out goods to fill their regular orders. No more active scene can be witnessed anywhere than in this establishment, which literally resembles a human hive. Every department of the work is divided urements, materials, etc., etc. No accurate descrip- tion could convey a full idea of the elegance of workman hip displayed by this firm in the production of many f their finer description of saddlery and harness. "he fashions in fine saddlery and harness are almost as changeable as Paris millinery, The saddles and harness in fashion a few years ago are unfashionable to-day, and the fashion of to-day will be unfashionable in a few years hence; consequently there is a great deal of style, a great deal of change, and oftentimes a great deal of elegance shown in the furnishing of the various articles manufactured by equally through the factory, and over each is a fore- the firm. An immense outlay of capital is invested, man thoroughly skilled in his business, and eachı article made is examined with scrupulous care by some of the members of the firmn before shipment, hence it is that the goods DeCamp, Levoy & Co. manufacture have gained a reputation which ex- tends over more than three-fourths of the States of the Union. and the greatest diligence is required to keep up to the onward movement al- ways perceptible in this business. But the energy and spirit of the firm of DeCamp, Levoy & Co. is so well known to the saddlery trade through- out the country, that it would be superflous to treat on it here; suffice it to say that the dealer can always find the greatest The firm issues an il- lustrated catalogue of their goods, and this cat- alogue is possibly the finest ever published in this line of business. It is printed upon tinted paper and bound in cloth, with gilt title. From its pages we note that there are illustrations accom- panied by brief letter- press, of no less than one hundred and five different styles of saddles, besides illustrations of gig sad- dles, express saddles, DECAMP, LEVOY & CO. single buggy harness, single track harness, single barouche harness, double break or buggy harness, double coach harnesss, double strap harness, riding bridles, bridle fillings, etc., etc. variety in stock to select from, and that the prices will be, in proportion to the quality of the work, lower than in any other first-class house in the country. These con - stant changes in style involve the necessity not only of the closest watch- fulness to enable the manufacturers to keep pace with the times, but also the ingenuity of the best workmen and the taste and skill of a de- signer. These advantages are possessed in the most [abundant degree in the great establishment of De- Camp, Levoy & Co., and the result is that their work enjoys the highest reputation for beauty and delicacy of finish as well as for strength and durability. In all these properties it is unexcelled in the United States.
Among the fine engravings are shown many speci- mens of the leading ones, such as fine side saddles for ladies, Morgan side saddles, English leaping horn Somerset side saddles, misses' side saddles, Texas saddles, Spanish saddles, Kilgore saddles, McClellan saddles, Sherman saddles, wagon saddles, Shackleford saddles, Somerset saddles, half Spanish saddles, pad saddles, boys' saddles of every description.

GREENWALD, I. & E.
The machinery establishment of I. & E. Greenwald is situated on East Pearl street, at the corner of Eggleston Avenue, Cincinnati. It has l' g been known as one of the largest works of the k .. 1 in the city.
The present site has been occupied by the firm for twenty-two years past, and extends for " Listance of 255 feet on Pearl street and 260 feet on Eggleston Avenue, the buildings covering the greater part of the grounds.
The departments consist of the molding and finish- ing shops, forge, mill-wright, pattern and pipe shops, and give employment to 125 hands, the greater num- ber of them being thoroughly skilled mechanics, who are ably superintended by foremen of much practical experience and scientific knowledge.
The gold and silver medals awarded these engines are evidence of their worthiness, and the high esteem in which they are held by expert mechanics.
As to the size of engines here manufactured, they range in power from ten up to two hundred and seventy-five horse power for the stationary kind, while those used in furnishing the motive power for steamboats are of course of much larger dimensions and power.
The accompanying cut is a representation of the stationary slide valve engine as it is turned out fin- ished and ready to receive steam.
This factory enjoys special advantages in the pos- session of a most varied and extensive list of valuable patterns of machine gearing to supply the demands of almost every conceivable requirement in the erec- tion of mills ; and this fact is well understood by

The kind of machinery produced at this establishi- ment consists principally of steam engines and flour mill work, although much is done for paper mills, powder mills, mines, white lead mills, elevators for grain, coal, etc., tobacco and starch factories, while some of the best steamboat machinery on the river was constructed at this shop.
This machinery is shipped over a large extent of territory, as far as Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Texas, Georgia, Wisconsin and intervening States. The popu- larity of their engines is attested by the large nmnber of them that are in use in this city and vicinity. Their points of excellence being superior finish, a perfect proportion of the different parts, a sufficient weight of material to secure steadiness and durability.
others in the business, who regularly obtain their supplies in this line at this establishment, and large quantities are thus constantly shipped to manufac- tories at a distance.
The ample facilities at this place for the produc- tion of machinery are enhanced by the many tools of the latest improved construction, set in large, well- lighted rooms, enabling the workmen to prosecute with accuracy their varied labors.
In consequence of all these facilities, enhanced by long experience and other advantages too numerous to mention, the reputation of the work turned out from the shops of I. & E. Green wald is unexcelled in the United States, and their machines are always adapted for the department for which they are designed.

two blocks north; the present depot of the Indianapo- lis & Cincinnati, and Baltimore & Ohio, and Marietta & Cincinnati Railroads is four blocks north-east ; all the freight depots of the railroads are within fifteen or twenty minutes' drive; the steamboat landing is less than half a mile away. The transfer track of the various railroad lines passes the works on Water street. This convenience of freighting facilities is an advan- tage not generally possessed. All the leading hotels of the city are within ten minutes' walk.
The larger part of the products of this establish- ment is of the kinds of machinery most commonly used. Stationary steam engines, from eight to two hundred horse-power, with boilers and all attach- ments; portable steam engines for agricultural uscs and for various requirements, temporarily local, such
both steam and hydraulic, in every city of the country; and of mining machinery, this house having the sole right to make the celebrated Bruckner ball grinders and revolving furnaces.
The machines of this house always rank high in competitive tests. In the famous engine tests by ex- perts, at the Cincinnati Industrial Exposition, in 1875, both their stationary and portable engines took first prizes. This excellence is due to the firm's aim at scientific precision.
Everything turned out of this establishment is critically nice in fashion and workmanship, and the great and increasing demand for its goods from all parts of the United States, and also from foreign coun- tries, attests the universal favorable judgment of buyers.

NONOTUCK SILK COMPANY.
This branch of business ranks as one of the most flourishing of our home industries in America, and is the oldest and largest concern in its particular line in the country, producing at least 100 per cent. more goods than any other manufactory engaged in the Sewing Silk and Machine Twist trade. The pursuit of this single branch of production for a continuous period of over forty-one years, can not fail to im- press the dealer in or consumer of sewing silks of all varieties with the conviction that with such an expe- rience and extraordinary facilities for manufac turing, the standard quality of the Nonotuck must be unrivaled.
In purchasing from such an establishment the buyer can always feel satisfied that he is get- ting value received for his investment. The first Machine Twist made in this or any other country for use on sewing machines was the product of the Nonotuck Silk Co., and among the various brands of goods sold to-day all over the world none is more famous than the Unequaled Corticelli Sewing Silk, which has become al- most a household word in every family througlı- out the land. The busi- ness of this company has steadily increased, and new buildings have been erected from time to time until they now form the group shown in the engraving, representing the principal factory. The floor space which these cover is upwards of 60,000 square feet. They are wholly occupied in the manufacture of Sewing Silk and Twist. At present over 600 operatives are em- ployed by the company, and upwards of 100,000 pounds of raw silk annually consumed.
In all Industrial Expositions, or wherever its goods liave been exhibited, the company has invariably secured the highest medals and prizes awarded, and a fac-sim- ile of many of their medals may be seen at the sales- rooms in this City, at No. 88 West Third street. Among thein is one from Santiago, Chili; the large Centennial medal of our own country, and the latest is from the Paris Exposition of 1878. The Cincin- nati branch of this extensive mauufactory has been established for nearly six years, and enjoys a large and increasing business with the best manufacturers and dealers throughout the West and South, wlio all unite in attesting the superior quality and merits of the goods. The manufactures of this company con- sist of Sewing Silks, Machiue Twist, Button Hole goods from all interested.
Twist, Embroidery Silks, Filling Silks, Knitting Silks and Purse Twist, etc., etc., in every variety and color. They already make upwards of 200 differeut shades, and are constantly adding new and seasonable colors.
The marvelous variety of the most delicate hues and tints of silk now used, and constantly increasing as they are from month to month, would be impossi- ble of reproduction by any but the most skilled work- men, aided by the resources of a wealthy and experi- enced company. But all these difficulties have been overcome by the Nonotuck Company, and the product of their factories is now as much a matter of general comment for the brilliancy and beauty of its coloring as it has always been for its smoothness and durabil- ity. It is these qualities, which so speedily after the business was first entered into, that led to the present universal popularity of the Nonotuck silk, and the scientific tests to which it has been submitted, and the prizes and medals it lias won at the awards of the most experienced jurors at so many great . International Exposi- tions have demonstrated the correctness of the verdict of the people. The Corticelli Sewing Silk has, in fact, become so well known and so highly appreciated everywhere that it finds universal favor and defies competitiou. The silk and the twist alike
NONOTUCK SILK FACTORIES AT FLORENCE, MASS. - are adapted at all points for every species of manu- facture into which silk enters, and every service for which it can be employed. The consequence is that the Corticelli is now used everywhere in the country, in the Northi, South, East and West, and that the name is uow thoroughly familiar to every manufac- turer and maker up of silk goods, and to consumers throughout the land. It is a new triumplı of Ameri- can industry and skill made possible only by the un- rivaled perfection and completeness of the machinery in use at the factory of the company.
It is the establishment of such houses as those of the Nonotuck Silk Company which accounts for the diminution in the imports of many of the manu- factured products of the silk-worm, as it is now proved by experience that the sewing silks and machine twist, embroidery, filling, knitting silks, &c., produced at home are better and more durable than those brought from abroad.
Mr. H. M. B. Bowen is the manager of the Cincinnati branch, and solicits a call and inspection of these

The manufacture of White Lead in Cincinnati, dates back to 1828, when the Anchor White Lead Works were established by Richard Conkling, the pioneer in the business in the West.
The company celebrated last year the fiftieth anniversary of the introduction of their brand, by the erection of an entirely new and the most complete White Lead Works in America. The latest improvements in machinery, and in the processes of manufacturing, based on long experience, were adopted, together with a thoroughly considered plan for convenient arrangements to cheapen production, and for the health and comfort of the workmen.
The successful operation of the new works gives assurance that the Anchor brand will continue to sustain its well-merited reputation as having no superior in the market for purity, fineness, color and covering qualities.
