Part 2

While, on the part of the commander, caution and watchfulness are essentially requisite, still all the circumstances being favorable, rules may be given in a very brief compass for trimming a vessel to the hurricane winds. These are embodied in the following tables. Where the directions of the wind vane, as set down in the first column are tangents to the whirlwind in its course, these indicate the quarter from which the storm sets in. The points of the compass in the second column show the position of the storm’s center as regards the vessel. The fourth column gives the direction in which to steer when the wind shifts as indicated in the third column; but if it shifts as indicated in the fifth column, then bear away as told in the sixth column.

ADMIRAL FITZROY’S INSTRUCTIONS ON THE USE OF THE BAROMETER IN NORTH LATITUDE.

THE BAROMETER RISES:

For northerly wind (including from N. W. by the north to the eastward), for dry, or less wet weather, for less wind, or for more than one of these changes—except on a few occasions when rain (or snow) comes from the northward, with strong wind.

A THERMOMETER FALLS:

For change of wind towards any of the above directions.

THE BAROMETER FALLS:

For southerly wind (including from S. E. by the south to the westward) for wet weather, for stronger wind, or for more than one of these changes—except on a few occasions when moderate wind with rain (or snow) comes from the northward.

A THERMOMETER RISES:

For change of wind towards the upper directions only. Moisture or dampness in the air (shown by a hygrometer) increases before or with rain, fog or dew.

=THE AMERICAN SUBMERGED= =Ship Pump=.

BOSTON, January 17, 1868.

GENTS—I have with great interest examined your American Submerged Ship Pump in full operation. I consider it the best Pump I have ever seen, as to the steady and large volume of water delivered, its simplicity, and great labor saved, which is the desideratum on ship board. No clapper getting off. No packing. No drawing of boxes to clear the clapper, and placed below freezing point. As to force and head pumps on board ship, it cannot be equalled. _It is the pump_. My opinion is based upon _over half a century’s_ experience on shipboard.

Notice to Ship Owners, Agents, Consignees, and Masters

=THE COMPANY’S DRY DOCKS=, Situate at HUNTER’S POINT, San Francisco, are now completed and in successful operation, and afford every facility for the Docking and Repair of all classes of STEAM and SAILING VESSELS.

At mean high tide will take in a ship drawing 22 feet without lightening.

This Dock is fitted with a Caisson Gate, and is supplied with two powerful Centrifugal Steam Pumps, capable of pumping out the dock in two hours.

=THE FLOATING DRY DOCK=, Will receive vessels of 1500 tons measurement and under.

_Consultation by letter or otherwise, free._ The Doctor can be consulted privately, and with the utmost confidence, by the afflicted, at all hours, daily, from 9 A.M. until 8 P.M.

_Cures always guaranteed, or no pay required._

=Seminal Weakness=. I am aware that by dwelling upon so uninviting a subject as the decay of manly vigor through the loss of the vital principle of life, the ignorant may asperse my motive; but the desire to point out to those who suffer, languish and decay, the true cause of their afflictions is too great an incentive to be forced into abeyance. How extended the terrible disease of Seminal Weakness is, no one but the practical specialist, who devotes his time to its treatment can tell; but its presence can be detected by the most inexperienced by noting the following symptoms: _Weakness of the back and limbs; languishing feelings; loss of muscular power; nervousness; irritability; cold feet and hands, accompanied by hot head; symptoms of consumption; short breath; flushings of the face; aversion in society; confusion of the mind; loss of memory; nightly emissions; colorless, slight discharges upon the least excitement; palpitation of the heart; irregular appetite; variable temper, etc., etc_.

=To the Afflicted= there is hope and certainty of relief and cure. Thousands are annually cured, without hindrance from business or change of diet. The directions are readily followed. Even a man’s most intimate companion cannot suspect of his being treated.

_Persons afflicted living in the interior, can, by stating fully in a letter their symptoms, receive advice and remedies at home._

=Important to Persons Afflicted with Venereal=.

There are no maladies, either in a medical or moral point of view, worse than those arising from the contamination of VENEREAL POISON. None are more terrible in their effects, or more disastrous in their results. MERCURY will not cure VENEREAL, BUT DRIES ON THE SURFACE, TO ALLOW IT TO POISON AND DESTROY THE BLOOD, TO RE-APPEAR IN HIDEOUS MARKS UPON THE BODY, and in the throat, mouth and nose.

Having treated a great number of nautical men, the Doctor fully understands their peculiar requirements, and the medicines prescribed do not interfere with their occupation.

All letters should be addressed, Dr. BENJ. F. JOSSELYN, M. D. 618 Sacramento street, between Montgomery and Kearny, San Francisco. Box 735.
