the lever and weight is, and must always be, tho 
eiinplost and most unvarying power. With it tho 
cano is pressed drier witli less power and less lia- 
bility of breakage than by any other mode. These 
Mills liave been before the public for several years; 
they are extensively used throughout the entire sor- 
ghum growing sections of tho country, and wherever 
xised have iuvju'iably given entire satisfaction. They 
have been much improved for tho present sejison, anil 
now embrace points of excellence, aside from the 
leading feature of tho lever, which of themselves 
place them far ahead of any other Mill in use. "W'e 
build Mills of different sizes, geared to run by steam, 
water or horse power; also premium Horse Powers, 
very simple in their construction and of great 
strength ; also an Evaporator of our own planning,

burden to me, I was entered on your books as a patient, not 
over saufcuine as to the result.';, owin? to the repeated and 
costly former failures in this part of the world. Gratitude 
demands of me a report of the success which has followed 
thescientilicapplicationof your RADICAL CUUE TRUSS 
in my case. I lollowed your instructions for three months, 
and ventured to discontinue the use of the appliance with 
perfect impunity. Since that lime I have enjoyed a return 
to perfect health and stren-jth, andean follow my callin"; 
with pleasure and satisfaction. I don't part cnmpany with 
the Truss, lor fear of another mishap, seeim; the Australian 
colonies have no mechanical applijinces to conipjire with it. 
It is the perfect cure. Tnistin;i you will excuse my tardy 
but iieartfelt acknowledgiment. I am, erents, vonrs. most 
gratefullv. W. A. BEHEIX, age 33. Miner.
