Tho great London quack of th" t;mo
of Charles II. was Dr. 1 nomas Sa'iohL
Ho was originally a weaver, but adopt
ed tho more paying business of pro
tending to cure all d'soacs and profess
ing to foretell tho destinies of his pa
tients. Tho apotliecar.es of that time
not only acted as medical quacks, but
also as fortune-tellers. Queen Anne
had weak eyes and was an enthusiastic
patron of vulgar ignorance in the form
of evo-doctors. Two of them she fan
cied especially; and ono of these. Will
iam Heinle, sho made a Baronet, nl
though ho was most wretchedly igno-
rant, as a "Miort and r.xact Account o
All the Diseases Incident to the liyes,"
which h publislio I, remains to testify.
Heade was a worthless tailor, but ho
stepped into a fashionable and paying
practice after ho obtained the royil
tavor. lie was uirible to read the I ook
which ho wrote (by tho hano of a scr be),
but that made no dillerenco to the
wealthy fools, his patrons. .-The
Queen's other favorite quack oculist
was Koger (irant, a retired co'diler and
Anabaptist preacher. Crantwas in the
hab.tof publish ng minute accounts ol
his cures, mostly a tissue of lies, hut
with on.u'h lr..'th interwoven to give a
somblanc? of probability. ILs favorite
plan was to s-curo some poor person
whoso sight was ini'rfcct, ami after
jrivinir him money ami inedioioos for a
few weeks periiiado him to sign a test -
moil ml that he had been horn blind ami
had never enjoyed the sense of sight

than a month. If he could buy a cer
tilicate from the clergymen and cliiue'i
wardens of the parish where tho alleged
patient lived, to the ell'eet that the te-ti-niouial
was true, veiy well; if ho could
not ob ain genuine documents of this
k'.nd he could always find people to
forgo them for a smali'suin. The recent
impudent cert licatcs, apparently signed
by nuinoroii-. prominent people, attest
ing the v rtues of a brand of bit

show that tho quicks of this
order are still to be found ply
in" tho'r infamous trade. The most
famous and learn d, tor tho t ill'
physicians of that ago, did not disdain
to deal in secret nostrum8. Thus. Sir
Hans S'oano siltl an eye salve, and Dr.
Meedu a remedy for hydrophobia. Con
sequently the quacks were justilied in
making what they could out of a public
which was not too int'llitrent to In
sw ndlod by their most renowned phy
sicians. 'I lie doctors, at least, bad no

Tho casual visitor would never sus
pect that tho quiot rural village of
Granville, Mass., sonds out into the
world thousands of no'sc-inakins in
struments cheap, it is true, but none
the less welcome to tho avera:o boy.
This plivo can practically bo called the
center r.nd heart of tho drum-making
busincs. It turned out '200,000 last
year. It was in 18.11 that tho idea of
engag'ng in tho drum-making business
lir.st suggested itself to a Mr. Cooley.
Ho had been to Pitbdiold. whore a rela
tive of his Samuel Cooley, Was making
a fw drums in an old b.iVn. Disgusted
with tho business, Samuel Cooley was
about to throw it up; lie offered it to his
nephew, John, with the remark that
there was doubtlosj money in it. Ho
tiirnmg to Granville, J P Cooley
broa bed the subject to his friend Noble,
whom he found a ready listener. They
wojit to work, made a drum,
which is st 11 cherished at the old shop,
look it to Boston, showed it, re
co cd oiders, an?i coming baot investo 1
.T''l..10 in material, and thus started
probably the biggest concern of its kind
in tho world. The first year, lu.11, they
built a little shed and altogether turned
out 160 drum-, ma nly of one pattern.
Year by year the business increased,
their quarters had to be enlarged, their
holn multiplied, and to-day 1-5 111 11
ami women aro kept busy turning out
daily about. 1.1M0 drums.
ithin the last four years business
has greatly dovo'opod. The old-huh-lonod
driiin with woe de.'i barrel, wh'ch
was formerly the only k n 1 in tho
market, is being rapidly supplanted by
the neater and 1 ghter model with a tin
barr. 1. For tho manufacture of the
Infer tin of various colors is employed,
blue and red pro loniinating, though the
larger quantities aro made of a brass
imitat'on. This tin comes in sh ets of
two sizes, 11x20 inches and '20x28, tho
sheets being packed in cases hold ng
11'2. These sheets are tirst sent ton
knife, which cuts them into various
lengths, from which drums' vary
ing from s'x and one h-t't inches
across the head to thirteen inches are
made. Tins done the strips are each
punched w th a hole, then secured and
tightened together. Hoops are placed
on the inside rims and the barrel is
then ready to receive the sound ngsk'n.
Thi is general y a slice)) sk 11. wli eh
is stretched titrhtly acros. tho lead
above and below from the outs de by

tory all ready for 110 from F.ngla ,d. It
seems with all their notions and liiult
plex ideas oven inag 11 dive Yankees
have not I) en able to prepare success
fully such skins from American s'loop.
Consequently all are impo'ted from
Livcipool. "They e';nio in hotheads
holding from .10 t 120 dozen, and cost
from $1.7.1 to i?"A.10 per dozen. Nobl
it Cooley expended for kins alone last

or white wood, occasionally oak. The

The first drums made uso I to bo bo led

thus be prepared daily was 1 ss than

and nioro perfect methods has increi s-d
the dady produ -t on, so that 2,00o drum

la a well-known operator in Wall street,
who is generally considered ns "up to
miuir." Hence, it may have leen quite
natural that a coii' tryman who reads the
papers recently called at at his ollPe and
asked for a package of Dr. Sage's Catarrh
Keiiiody. He di covered his mistake, but
he made no mistake in the article called
for. This Remedy, when applied with Dr.
Pierco's "Nasal "Douche," will surely and
rapidly eradicate tho most aggravated
caso of catarrh, with all its unpleasant
and dangerous ace mpaniiiients.
