Patent Spring Mattresses and Iron Bedsteads, Nos. 63 and

portance than the Bed or Mattress. Those who know how much 
health and comfort depend on having beds that will carry off 
the heat and unhealthy effluvia of the body, need not be in¬ 
formed of their great superiority over those that confine it 
during the hours of repose in a debilitating and unhealthy 
atmosphere. 
Public attention is particularly called to these Mattresses, as 
they remain perfectly free from insects, and are especially 
recommended for convenience, durability, and the prolonga¬ 
tion of health and life.

sfi YVYNNE’S CENTRIFUGAL PUMP.-THIS PUYIP HAS 
OT in every instance where exhibited in competition with 
other pumps, taken tlie highest awards—gold and silver 
medals and diplomas. It has been introduced to a great ex¬ 
tent in Europe, Asia, and South America Large orders are 
now being filled for Persia for irrigation. The proprietors of 
the British Patent, during tlie YVorld’s Great Exhibition in 
London, in 1851, offered to pay $5,000 to the Mechanics’ Cha¬ 
ritable Association, if this pump did not excel any pump that 
could be brought to compete with it by fifteen per cent., while 
its cost should not exceed one-third that of any plunger, pis¬ 
ton, or rotary pump in use. The American proprietors have 
equal confidence, and are disposed to meet any party with 
any kind of pump on their own terms for a trial of respective 
advantages. That this is no vain boast, tlie following letters 
addressed to tlie inventor by some of tlie most respectable 
and extensive manufacturing houses in tlie United States, are 
considered sufficient evidence. 
. „ „ „ „ Soura Lee, Oct. 1,1852. 
J. Stuart Gwynnei Esq.— Sir: YY e have had running one 
of your twelve-inch Centrifugal Pumps for something over a, 
year, raising water for washing for five paper-mill engines. 
It has been running constantly night and day since it was 
started, and has not cost us one cent for repairs. We have 
had running also one six-inch pump for about six months ; 
upon this we have not expended any thing since it was start¬ 
ed. The power required to operate these pumps is less than 
that used by any other apparatus for raising water which we 
have ever used ; and where the pump is properly set up, it is 
but a fraction above the theoretical minimum of power re¬ 
quired to do the work. We consider yours to be, for the use 
required in a paper-mill, decidedly the best and most econo¬ 
mical pump that we have ever seen. Yours respectfully, 
OWEN <fc HURLBOT,
