A Committee of the Board of Health Is now considering the plaus for the construction of a now Dead Hoime or Morgue, nn Institution whloh Is sadly nnmlcd In this city. It Is propowid to eroct the miUdlng, which will be of brick, and two slorlns la height, on Button wood street., above Thlrteent.li, where the dog-pound is at present looatod, and to remove the Coroner's office there, to save the expense of t'.i which is now incurred whenever a body Is removed Irom the Dead House to the Coroner's ollice for on inquest. The proposed cost of the structure will be but five thousand dollars. To this establishment will be takcu the bodies of all persons who meet with sudden or violent deaths, and espe cially those whose names and residences are unknown at the time. TheH last will be pro perly washed, aud then placed fin elevated slabs, in such a position that they cuu be easily seen through a glass partition. In the heat of summer it Is extremolv dim cult, with the present Inadequate arrange ments, to preserve a body Inns enough to secure Us Identification. In the; proposed Morgue this difllculty will be obviated to a great ex tent, as all the appliances of modern science will bo brought Into use. . . . It is expected thafthe Philadelphia Morgue will be u decided improvement on the one whleh was opened In New York city on the 19lh of June lost, and which was thus described In Tint Kvknino Tklkorapu of the following day : "It Is modelled very much after the celebrated Morgue of Paris, and la said to surpass anything of the kind In London, as far as cninmodlousness and outtlis are concerned. Upon the tiled flooring are placed four slabs ot niarblo, six leet In length, and at the height of about five feet, having a slight Inclina tion towards the foot. Kacb slab in provided with an India-rubber hone, connected with the hydrants, by means of which a steady stream of water can be kept running upon the bodies. "In this way they ean be preserved In a recognisable condition lor from twenty-four hours to three weeks, according to the state of docompoHlilon In which the bodlen are wben found. The clothing or the unknown deceased, as aids to their Idenlllication, are to be hung tip around the room, on- pegs provided for this pur pose. Proper ventilation has not been forgotten, and every other accessory that will tend towards render line tne establishment q an respects aduptcd to the end in view."

EEcirwirn'a ELECTRICAL INSTITUTE, No. 1220 WALNUT ST. During oar inrcstigations In tne treatment of dls- ase in lis various forms br the agencf of loctnoitr, we bsve obtained very many valuable and startlliwr lacts, which, added to tbe previous thoucu- limited intormatlon, porsosscd by othor and loss fortunate operators, place u bevond all prorleus knw1ed ol this mysterious axeut. Lnrintr tbe course-of oar practioe we have treated and cured, through th knowledge thus trained, many thousands, and by means of our new discoveries have established or eolves as the most successful Medical Electrioians this country or Europe. Electrical Investigation bas proved that tbe human body acts on tbe principle ot tbe galvanic battery. Tbe brain, mucous and serous mombranet, the skin, tissues, and fluids constitute tbe negative and post tive forces, and every action, v. bother mental or phyMcal, Is the result of these antagonistic loroea. Digestion, respiration, circulation, secretion, and excretion are duo soioly to electrical influence. There is a polar action established throughout the nervous eyntem which connects with every part of tbe body, establishing and preserving a proper balance of the electricalelement which constitute health, and a disturbance of which cause dineaso. There are strictly out two condition of disease one of inflammation, or positive : the other weak. debilitated, negative and as electricity contains these two conditions in the action of the positive and negative currents, all we have to do is to neutralize the disease and restore proper, ueaitnv action. Among the chronic dtxeases in which electricity has been, and is oaily being by our agenor, ot tn greatest utility, a cure Doing rapiaiy enectea aiwr tbe lanure 01 all other means, are: 1.
