THE DAILY EVENING
Tub Nbw Dfad Iiousb. 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."

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

1. Epilepsy, Chorea, or St. Vitus' Dance, Paraly
