TESTIMONY OF CITIZENS. 
ISKaE>GE5 I, ®IS , 2' IH’IF’G CO. —Gents : Thegreat 
fli-e in this town found us sadly lacking the ordinary means 
of putting it out, but fortunately for us the undersigned, 
we or our neighbors had your American Submerged 
Pumps, provided with hose, and by using them we were 
enabled to throw water upon our buildings, thereby 
saving our property from being entirely consumed. Had 
we not been supplied with these Unequaled Farce Pumps 
our property, to the amount set against our names, must 
have been lost, together with whole blocks of buildings, 
which comprised the entire business portion of the town ; 
as a very heavy northerly wind was blowing at the time. 
We most sincerely recommend every person having a 
well in or near their houses to provide themselves with 
one of these Miniature Fire Engines without delay. The 
pump used to save the following property was a No. 1 in 
Mr. Burr Davis’s livery stable, where it had been in con¬ 
stant use over three years. The heat was so intense that 
it melted French plate-glass show windows in his under¬ 
taker's store, yet he saved his buildings intact. 
Burr Davis, house, stable, slore, and stock, value $40,000

In another locality, directly in range of the fire, George 
Howard, No. 1 pump with 150 feet of hose, saved 
George Howard, hardware store and stock, valued $20,000

The Glen Falls Insurance Co. also saved on adjoining 
buildings and stock, by the timely use of this powerful 
force pump, $10,000, and we strongly advise every one to 
supply themselves with one or more on their premises.

Our Oil Chromo is entitled 
“ The Artist Cow.” 
In twelve colors. The picture represents nn Artist in the 
flQld, with paint, easel, and palette, painting a landscape. 
He has for a moment left his brush to chat with a pretty gill 
at the door of the cottage near by. Meanwhile a cow lias 
discovered his picture and is busily engaged in licking oft' 
the paint, while her call'has poked its nose into the artist’s 
tools and tumbled them all in a heap on the ground. A 
little hack a noble bull is seen marching to the scene, at¬ 
tracted no doubt by a huge white umbrella, spread and 
fastened to a stake drove into the ground to keep the sun 
from the picture-maker while he is atliis work. It should be 
in every farmer’s library. 
This oil chromo will be mounted and sent, post-paid by 
mail, to every subscriber of The Herald of Health who
