THE CELEBIATED 
Dexter Spring 
Is one of those inventions that commends itself to the 
PRvVCTICAl. ]>IA\' as the COJOIOX'-SEXSE 
SPRIXG, bein^ a si<le-sprin£; without the unpleasant and 
dangerous si<l(? motion of the Concord, and obviaiinsr the 
jerkinir of the Elliptic. Being without perch, gives Inde- 
pendent action to each wliecl, niakins: them much more 
durable. The SPRIXGS arc made of special CRfCT- 
HhiJil STEEL, and are fnlly warr.anted. 
The DEXTER supplies a want long felt by the Farm- 
er, UusiiK-ss Man, and PUysician, as it gives Ihem 
the easiest ridin.cr and most durable SPR.IXG VEHI- 
CLE known, and much less liable to break than the 
ordinary spring, on accotmt of quality and lorm. 
Please examine carefully the editorial and advertisement
