manship and construction of these scales are very superior ; they 

 should be in the possession of every druggist and physician, who 

 wishes a superior, neat and durable article, which will weigh 

 with exactness. They are easily kept in fine order, and cannot 

 fail in a short time to supersede the worthless articles which 

 have for so long a period worried and perplexed those who were 

 exact in weighing, as every man should be under all circumstan- 

 ces, but, especially in a business' involving health, and even life. 

 On the west side"of the walls, commence the anatomical cases, 

 containing specimens of the various preparations for the use of 

 the student, as wired skeletons, loose^bones, arterial, venous and 

 lymphatic preparations, articulated heads, female pelvis and foetal 

 heads, and various isolated preparations of the human body, &c. 

 neatly arranged for exhibition. This is followed by cases of the 

 various kinds of surgical instruments, of London and American 

 manufacture. The American instruments are now made of very 

 superior quality, and I think can be depended upon as equal to 

 the London, with the exception of those manufactured by the 

 justly celebrated Evans, which I believe are unequalled any 

 where. Immediately following this range of cases, is a distinctly 

 legible inscription, in gold, on a black ground, of the rules and 

 regulations of the establishment. This is a valuable arrangement 

 in all stores, or places of every kind, where a number of persons 

 are engaged, and where the duties and requisitions are of a diver- 

 sified nature. The next thing in succession is a medical library 

 for the use of the store, which is followed by a set of tubes or 

 speaking trumpets, communicating with each story of the build- 

 ing, by which sound is readily conveyed ; a corresponding num- 

 ber of bells follows, to call attention to the trumpets when re- 

 quired. In this way, where a large business is done, much time 

 is saved and a great facility given to the transactions. Any 

 question can be made to those in the fourth story without 

 any great exertion of voice, and an answer conveyed with cor- 

 responding facility. Then follows in rotation a fire-proof of 

 large size and new construction, the draft of which was furnished 

 by Mr. Wilbank. Of the expediency of this arrangement, sad 

 experience has demonstrated the utility, and no man should 

 build a store without the most scrupulous attention to a fire-proof
