How Recruiting Bhould be Con- DUGTJSBi—Although recruiting under the new call of the President progresses finely, yet the business 1b not ns brisk ob it should be. This we are assured is in groat measure the fault of the recruiting offleors. They do not seem to display that energy they should. At the present time, on nearly every square may be seen a re cruiting station, and at some of these places, were it not for a few straggling mon around, or the presence of & poster here and there, one might pass and repass and yet remain ignorant of the nature of tho business conducted within. At very few of these stations is the Bound of tho flium and fife to be hoard. As for ft squad of men with marital music parading tho streets in search of recruits, that is a sight seldom met with now-a-days. This good and old habit seems to have fallen entirely into disuso, and yet all sensible military* men admit that this is the only proper way for promptly obtaining volunteers. When the first call f«r 75,010 men wag made, flags and stream ers wore Been flying from every recruiting station, and the sounds of the drum and fife were heard in every Street and corner. People flooked in thousands to enroll their names, and it ia a well-known fact, had all been accepted that applied, nearly the whole of the number called for could have been furnished in a few days from this city alone. Our c tb.ens are still filled with the same patriotism end love for llieir country as then ; but, judging from the appearances of things around them, it seems as if their services are not needed. They must be aroused from the lethargy into which they have been allowed to fall* If officers want recruMs, let them exert themselves pro perly, and they will have no cause to complain. Let tho wound of the drum and fife again be heard in the streets and at all the military headquarters, and the effect pro duced will be notkeablo in a day. Some have intimated lhat, in order to secure tbs number of volunteers called lor, drafting will have to be resorted to., This, we feel confident, will not bo the case, as, improper means are em ployed, it will be fuond unnecessary—at least, in the city of Philadelphia. Besides this, there is a great difference be tween the volunteer aud the drafted soldier. A volunteer receives the full bounty, being $27 advance bounty, one month’s advance pay, $l3, and $76 at the end of his term of service, and i be cbocsts he can have the 160 acres of imunty land. His family, also, receives pecuniary as sistance during his absence. Those that* have not the moral courage to volunteer, but who want and aro drafted, receive no bounty money, no advance, and only get $l3 per month, and the stigma of being compelled to serve in the army o! tlio country that protected them. 3No one, however, should deceive himself with' the idea that drafted soldiers will serve only three months; for* after the militia are drnfted, Congresß can very easily Bold them to serve fluting tho war. We publish to- day an important bulletin from the War Department, regulating the recruiting for the new levy, which will, no. doubt, prove very advantageous, it the recruiting officers conform to the above suggestions. New York city has pledged herself good for 10,000 men, and Philadelphia most not be beaten. The probability ia, that tho term of service will be only one year, and that City Councils wilt give, each recruit a premium of s2o* as well as to make some arrangements to take care pf destitute families.

Interesting Case—Street Pavers IN TROUBLE yesterday morning, before Judge Alli son, application wasmafio by Messrs O.P. & S.A. Gornraan for an attachment against Patrick Mclntee, whom they Charge with contempt cf court in paving Corinthian ave- r nue, in defiance of an ii-j unction which had boon granted' by the couit, restraining work upon the street by the city of Philadelphia or its agent Xu 0. Cassidy denied that any injunction had ever been granted in regard to tho paving of said avenue. Judge AUison replied that he remembered very 'well that the injunction was granted. George Wise was called, who testified that on July 10 th be served a notice directed to Patrick Lafferly & Go ,■ to stop paving Corinthian avenue. This was signed by J. Landy, Chief of the Highway Department. ' Mr. Leary testified that he was engaged in ramming the paving; the work was finished by three o’clock in the afternoon. , Joseph Painter testified that he had a talk wUh the man who was doing the paving; the mo said he didn’t care ad— for mo, fur Mr landy, or the court either. In answer to some questions propounded by Mr. Cas sidy, Mr. Painter taid that he hod an interest in the paving ; ho had made a contract with the Highway De partment to pave the avenue. . Mr. Oornman proposed to exhibit the contract made with Mr. Painter. Judge Allison replied that it was not necessary. Mr. Cassidy said that ho. bad looked -in vain over the records for the order of court, in regard to the restraint said to have been imposed. The court scarcely suppose for a moment tbat any icjuection had been granted to prevent the paving of tboiotmectfonof the streets. The work, It seems, bad b.eo given to a sub-contractor, who -was stopped by Mr. filelutee, aa soon as the notice was served upon him. It is true that at that time the paving of the Intersection wasneai ly fiaihbed, and - Mr. Mclntee only had it finished because to leave it In the condition that it then pras would be ratber dangerous to the public travel. After some argument in regard to this subject, the -Judge said that the paving of the intersections is exclu sively within the control of the Highway Department. The injunction refers to that part of the avenue In front* •Of a private prope»sr. Hr. Cassidy fi&al'y made tho case clear by stating that, the owners of property on Corinthian avenue hail already made a contract with parties to .do the paving, and that other parties claimed ffae right to do the work under a contract made with Joseph,Sbantz, Chief of the Highway Department. Mr. C'naidy claimed that as a certain por tion of Corinthian avenue, from Coates to Brown street, had never been dtdfcatcd to tfto city, therefore the in junction granted by the court did not order any restraint cm this part of the rireei. Judge AUUon decided that it would seem that Corin thian avenue, frem Coates to Brown street, was practi cally exempted from ilif injunction, and that the contract made by Sbantz with Painter for the paving of the rest cf the avenue to Ciimd street was good. Mr. Oasßidy claimed the right to pave the intersection »t Coates and Brcwa streets. . Judge Allison directed Mr. Cassidy to call his evi dence. ' - Dr. Helfridke was called, who testified as follows : On last Friday afternoon, while present at the paving, heard Mr. Molntee Bay thut the work must bs stopped, as the court had made such nn order; Mr. Welsh replied that he did not care, he was not going to stop; did not see him give any direction to the workingmen after this; I yiever saw Mr. Mciutee before this. . Mr. Ogden tbat Mr. Welsh, a paver, called on hdm on Thursday afternoon, “tad desired two rammers and pavers; I sent them the next morning; I charged their time to Mr, w eish; my father does the paving over the gas-pipes; did not know Lafferty & Co. or Mr. Me- Jntee in the matter, ■ Mr. O. P, Oornman contended , that Mr. Welsh was a Hub-contractor, end tbat, although-Mr. Mclntee had paid, on Friday last, that the work mußt stop, yet ho per mitted it to go on. Judge Allison brought the proceedings to a close by making an order of court to bring Hr, Welsh intoOurt on Saturday morning. . Mysterious Affair—Supposed FOUL PLAT.—Anther mysterious affair has recently taken place near Conshohocktn, and has excited a groat cleal of indignation A man named Robert Brown is supposed to have bei.n brutally murdered. He resided In Oonshobocken, and his business was supplying the people of tbat place with vegetables, Ac , from the city. On Tuesday morning he loaded his wagon at" Twentieth and Market streets, in this city, and at half past seven o’clock started for Oonsbohocken, taking the mad upon ihe other side of thV Schuylkill. About one o’clock in tUeefternoonhewasiound, about A mile this side or u ushohockea in a dying condition, and expired in a few minutes after being discovered. Me had a cut. about an inch in length, behind the right ear and another upon the leg. The latter wound hod severed the artery, from which he doubtless bled to death. Tbo hurt earn! wagon belonging to the deceased were found upon the road a short distance off. The horse was about half detached from the wagon. Mr. Brown was found down the embankment, and the ground in the vicinity is represontedas having borne evidence of a struggle. The shirt of the deceased was much tom, and there was also blood tn the wagon. The coroner of Montgomery county hold an inquest in the case, and the jury rendered a verdict of accidental death, but the relative ot the deceased ore not satisfied with the investigation. Trorn the nature of the wounds, they believe that Mr. Bro«u has been brutal y mordered, And, yesterday morning, determined upon having a post mortem examination made. The deceased was 28 years of age, and leaves a wife and two children, the youngest being about five or six months old. The Belief Loan. — The bill for the creation of a loan of $590,000 in aid of the families of volunteers will lie over until after the recess of Council*, the amount now at tboclepo3*l of tho commission being deemed sufficient to last until October. Our Sick and Wounded at An- NAPOLIS.—We give some extracts from a letter of Rev. W. 33. Boardman, who generously volunteered to visit the hospitals about Annapolis and Baltimore, to minister to our sick and wounded soldiers under the di rections of the Christian Commission. This, we believe, is the only organization which combines ministrations to the soul with the relief of the bodily wants of our suffering soldiers; and whose agents, volunteers, aro laboring gratuitously, push up to the advance, and visit the men in the trenches and field hospitals. Two of our city clergy, and several other gentlemen, are new in General McClellan’s camps. Three left yesterday, in the John Brooks, to reinforce them. Rev, Robin son, of St. George’s Church, with four other gentlemen, and a large supply of stores, is ready to leave the first opportunity. Donations of hospital stores and money should be promptly forwarded to Mr. George H. Stuart, Ho. 13 Bank street, Philadelphia. What ia to be done for the §ick and wouoded must be donequickly : SW. SW by S. George H, Stuart, Esq. —Dear Sir: My visits under your commission, both in Annapolis and Balti more, have been short, but exceedingly interesting. At Annapolis, there are about fifteen hundred side and wounded soldiers with room for more, and more expected. The naval-school buildings, including tho fine dwellings erected for the professors, are all used for hospital purposes. They are large, airy, and commodious, and Iho situation breezy, comfortable and healihy. Abetter place could not be asked for the suffering heroes—and heroes they are in lb© hospital, as they were on tbebattle-field. They bear their pain as they met the rebels—bravely. They aro consoled for the loss of limbs and borne up through suf fering by fcha consciousness that their losses aud pains are honorable and coble sacrifices In their country’s cause. They have in the Bev. Mr. Henries a chaplain 1 of the right sort—heart and soul in his work, faitfifai, sympathizing, kind, encouraging, direct, earnest, and evai gelical. The library and reading-room of the hospital is a model one, Mr. Henries has secured for it, to grace its eheWes and feed the hungry soldiers, a fine collection of books, and also a hundred newspapers for its reading steeds and tables—seat free of charge from many different cities, townp, and villages, and to iheee he has added, at his own parsonal cost, a stationery dcpariment, where all may obtain by paying for them if able, or free if notable to pay, paper, pons, ink, on vtlopes, and stamps, This hag made no small draft upm bis puree, but it is money well expended, as “the loved ones athome,’ } ;gladdcned by letters from the suffering one 3 in the far-off hospital, would certainly testify. Now for their wants. They need, lßt, religious papers— any quantity, says the good chaplain with a Conble em phasis ; 2d, tracts: 3d, a box of books for the library; 4th. unall books for distribution, suited to the soldiers’ pockets as well as to their case; sth,German books, traits and papers, and 6th, stationery andstampa. And tkey also need at least one first-rate gerial, spiritual, earnest, witeman, as an, assistant volunteer chaplain. (Why should there not be volunteer chaplains as well as surgeons?) And tho hospital presents a field unsur passed for the ready aud skilful sickle. Many tnterest iDg conversions have gladdened the faithful as well as the suffering there. These are the wants in this chap laiucy department. The cuisine, under the ladies—as true and noble a bassd as ever toiled in any hospital—are as urgent, to say the least of It. I found there Mrs. Governor Bradford and Mrs. Judge Brewer, with their families, taking their turns regularly in the market and in the kitchen, pur chasing and ccofeing delicacies and substantial for tho sick and wounded. They give money, time, and toil freely for tho relief of the suffering heroes from all parts of our loyal States. The burden falls on them more * heavily, because they and their equally noble associates ore the few amongst the wealthy whose hearts ore in the right place. • Many would give and labor if they were in Richmond or Montgomery,who give only the cold shoulder in An nopoiis. The ladies; therefore, greatly need supplies for the sick and the wounded, and also money to meet their daily expensos, You cannot think how gladly they re ceive the few articles—jelly, crackers, jam, bay rum, b) andy, wine, soap, handkerchiefs, &c., &c.—kiodly fur nished mo as I started away by a few excellent Phiiadel 'phia ladies. The gentlemen, such as Governor Bradford and Judge Brewer, not only give freely, but solicit, also, which is harder to do; but Southern ice does not give way easily, even under the warmest appeals of patriot ism. Happily for us in Philadelphia we have little to contend; with in comparison, and, therefore, let us the more fre< ly help them. You may remember that Judge Brewer was on© of the noble sons of Maryland who stemmed the early rising tide of rebellion there. It is said that his influence was strong to keep Governor Hickb from faltering. And when troops were ordered on,to Washington, through Annapolis, for the defence of the threatened capital, and certain of the chivalry gathered to prevent thoir lauding, Judgeßrover took his stand between the troops abont toJand and tho chivalry gathered to prevent I hem, and said, among other things, that “the United States ar mies have the right to march anywhere over United States soil for the nation’s defence, and these troops shall pass onward for the defence of the national capital, and the firtt mau that molests them”—there he stood, pistol fn.haoe—“l will shoot down.” So the troops landed and passed onward to Washington—no man daring to molest thfm. . • - The First Regiment Under the NEW CALL—ARRIVAL of THE NINTH TER MONT.—The first regiment organized under tho new call of the President for 300,000 men, left Brattleboro’, Vermont, on Tuesday morning, and reached New York atan early honr yesterday morning. At 6 o’clock last evening they embarked for this city. The 9th is 1.000 strong, fully itrmed and equipped. Tho material of the regiment could not be better—fine, stalwart men, inured to hardship and toil, fresh fromthemountaios. Nodoubt can be for a moment entertained that this regiment, which promises so much, will but add to th§ laurels already won by the Vermont troops. The regiment were recruited In tbo northern part of tho State chiefly. They were but 24 days filling up the ranks, and -were but 10 days in camp before receiving marching orders. They were encamped at Brattleboro, where they received all the attentions possible from their fellow-citizens. Before leaving, Go vernor Holbrook," of Vermont, presented the regiment with a very handsome State bannerand ensign. The re giment met with quite an ovation along the route, the people gathering at several places, and ■ cheering lustily. At Springfield they bad quitea reception. The found a beautiful repast prepared tor them, and the citizens turned out en masse to meet them. , Although this is the first regiment io march under the. new call, yet it is fully prepared for the field; baggage wagons, ambulances, more than one hundred tents, and all necessary camp equipage, have been fnrnished it, and it will go into the service in every respect ready for the camp and tbo battle-field. The arms to he used aro Bel gian rifleß. The men—like those who have heretofore mirched from the Green Mountain State—-as a class, are exceed ingly fall. Large/numbeiß average six feet in height Their physique is even superior to that of the men of most of tbo regiments that have preceded them. A great ma jority are sobs of farmers. It is especially worthy of re mark, however, that a considerable number of deserters from Brilisb regiments stationed in Canada, havo come over the lines and joined this first regiment of tho new levy of Green Mountain boys. They were genuine sym pathizers with our cause, and propose to show their faith by their werks. . The officers are an unusually fine class of men. Cot. Slaanard was, until recently, lieutenant colonel of the 2d Regiment of volunteers from that State, and was with it at, tho battle of Bull Bun, and alto at the siege of York town. He is. universally respected and trusted. Lieut. 001. Andross was a captain in the Ist Vermont Regiment, which marched in response to the President’s call for seventy-five thousand troops. He returned home with the regiment at the end of Us term of seirvice, and now re-enters the field. • Stovrell was a captain of the 2d Vermont Begi meit Adjutant Stearns has seen service in the Ist and 4th Vermont regiments.

Baltimore, July 9,1882 Banquet to President Benson.— The American Colonization. Society continue to receive Intelligence that this distinguished man is welcomed everywhere in London—at dinners, evening as well as morning parties, aud is received with a kindness and courtesy most pleasing and grateful to him and to Ilia numerous Mends and those of Liboria. Subjoined ia an interesting letter from Gerard Ralston, Beq., giving the particulars of a public banquet tendered him at Willis’ rooms, King street, at which Lord Brougham presided. Two hundred and forty of the best people of England were present as guosts. President Benson Is daily expected to arrive in this country, and will doubtless be welcomed with as much real pleasure and satisfaction as he has beon abroad. 3n New York, we learn, it is expected that he will be re ceived with such attentions from the city authorities bb befit his station. ' ■ < . London, June 28,1862. Mt Dear Sir : Last evening, the magnificent ban quet to President Benson came off at Wilks’ rooms pre sided over by Lord Brougham, and assisted by Samuel Gurney,’Dr. Hodgkin, and a number of other kind friends of Liberia Nothing could exceed the success and the entire triumph of this festive occasion; aud its utility to Africa will be great, as it will show to Ameri cans that the first people of England are favored in doing honor aid paying respect to the first real negro Presi dent of Liberia —for Mr Robert*, his predecessor, lias much more of white man’s blood in,his veins than of black man’s. The friendly feeling manifested to Presi dent Benson and his black nation are certainly of the most gratifying kind, and all of u* any way connected with Liberia ought to be giateful. How rejoiced I would be if my countrymen, layiog aside the prejudices —in which they have been born, and therefore, I fear, invincible—against color, could treat Mr. lteberts and Mr. Benson with a tenth part of the consideration aud respeetto which they are entitled, and which they re ceive everywhere they move iu England. Mr. Roberta goes to America in the Great Eastern on . the 23 July, and President Benson will probably follow in"S few days —soy five or six days—later. Most faithfully youre. GERARD RALSTON. FairmountPark.—Arrangements are now being made by the Commissioner of City Property for tbo immediate improvement of the buildings in chichd within the limits of Fairmount Park. The man sion bouse is te have a two-story balcony erected round, it, while its rooma are to be fitted up for the accommoda tion of ladies. The cost of these improvements Is esti mated at 56.Q00.: Tho old cottage upon the northern rart of lhe Park is to bo entirely refitted at a coat of $1,500. An Iron arbor is to bo placed over the mineral spring, at a cost of $OOO, while some 8200 or $3OO addi tional will be expended in fitting np the other springs and tbo walks and stairways upon.tbe terraces and about the premises. These improvements will greatly increase the attractions of Fair mount , Another improvement is contemplated, which, if pro-, perly carried out, would make the park dear to every citizen of Philadelphia. We hear that Mr, Wolbert, of Common Council, will introduce a resolution tills after* noon, directing the Committee on City Property to re port upon the propriety of appropriating a portion of Fairinount Park, or some of the other city property, as a cemetery for the burial of such soldiers asmay die ia the hospitals in this city, and not be claimed by their rela tives and friends. New School .House.—The erection of a new school-house, ifear Broad and Thompson streets, in Twentieth ward, has been suspended. It is alleged that the city has been greatly imposed upon in the purchase of the lot. The cellar has been dug, but it appears that the ground Jb of such a character that a large expenditure will be required for pilings, ia order to secure a proper foundation. The architect estimates the amount necessary at 53,000. There is no appropria tion for such purpose; but the old Board of Controllers, as cne of their last acts, ontered into a contract for piles, and they are now upon, tbe ground, having been delivered about two weeks since. The subject, it is expected, will .be fully ventilated in City Councils, and will probably not bk disposed of without much difficulty. Contemplated Hospitals at. Cam- DEN.—At a recent meeting of the citizens of Camden if was resolved to solicit the Government to. establish a hospital in Camden for Bick and wounded soldiers. An executive committee for each ward was appointed to carry out tho views of the meeting, and are now in cor*, rtspondence with the Government on the subject, and it is hoped that the project .may prove successful. Tfi're are few places better adapted for hospital purposes than Camden. We learn that tbo congregation of the First Baptist'Church has offered the audience room of their bunding, which is unfiriehe'dj for a hospital. The build irg Is pleasantly located, ami in every way calculated for a hospital. / * - Corner-stone Laying.— -On Friday afternoon next the corner-stone of St Timothy’s Pro testant Episcopal Church will bo laid at Boxborough, in the Twenty.first ward. Bishop Alonzo Potteria to per form the ceremony. The church will be erected on a large and eligible lot on Ridge avenue or turnpike, near the sixth mile stone,*a short distance from Skurr-a lane. Tbe building will bo a solid stone structure, of Gothic ar chitecture, the doors and windows being faced with pressed brick. Resigned.— Casper M. Berry, major, and Bov. Charles N* Beck, chaplain, of the 26th Regi ment P. V., have resigned and . returned to the city. In tin absence of Colonel Small, who is at home suffering -from a wound, the regiment is temporarily commanded by Lieutenant Colonel. Wells, of the Ist Massachusetts Regiment. •: - v • CITY ITEMS. Concert in Aid or the ...Sick and Wounded Soldiers.— We invite attention to a Con cert to be given at Commissioner’s Hall, West Philadel-. pbia, on next Monday evening, July 21st, in aid of the sick and wounded soldiers, the proceeds of which are to be placed in the hands of “The Ladies’ Aid Society of Weßt Philadelphia, ” for purcbaHhing such articles as they may deem necessary to alleviate the sufferings of the patients in the General Hospitals ia the ’ Twont y. fourth ward. From the programme published, we may promise a rich treat to all who attend it, as some of the first amateurs and professional vocal and instrumental per formers in.ihis city are to assist. The cause itself, more over, should, and no doubt will, attract a very large audience. Superior Teas and Coffees can always he bod at tho store of Mr. C, H.

Good Breeding -—There is nothing more difficult to attain, or nectary to possess, than perfect good breeding, which is equally inconsistent with a stiff formality, an impertinent forwardness, and awkward bosbfulneas. A little ceremony is sometimes necessary; a certain degree of firmness is absolutely so, and an awk ward moc esty is extremely nnbecomiog. Good breeding is evident in those who wear the cheap and fashionable Bummer garments manufactured at the One-price Cloth ing, Emporium of Granville Stokes, No. 609 Chestnut sfreet, whose esiabiuhraent has won for itself renown and celebrity.

Extracts of Letters from medical men, after haring fully tested the discovery of Prof, BOLLE3: W. R.'WELLS, M.D., Buffalo, N. Y„ after a year’s practice, writes to Prof. B. as follows: I think my faith fully comprehends the fact that Elec tricity, correctly applied, according to your discovery, is abundantly competent to cure all curable diseases. My experience and bucccsb, after extensive practice, fully warrant this assertion.. Were I sick with a fatal disease, I wonld far sooner trust my life in the hands of a skilful Electrician than all the “pathies ” on earth besides- Buffalo, N. Y. ; W. R. WELLS, M. D. D. MCCARTHY, M. D. : I am fully satisfied that Electricity, when understood according to its polarities and their relations to the fixed laws of the vital economy, as taught by you, is the most powerful, manageable', and efficient agent known to man for the rolief of pain and cure of disease. I would fur ther state that.l have forth© past few weeks used Elec tricity in my practice, to the exclusion of nearly all other remedies, and bare been eminently successful, and con sider it a universal therapeutic. •' Dayton, Ohio; D. MCCARTHY, M. D. P. W. MANSFIELD, M. D.: : For the last nine months I have made Electricity a spe cialty, and my faith is daily increasing in. its therapeutic effects, and I beiiev.-, when applied according to your discovery, it,wifi cure all curable diseases, among winch are numerous cases never benefited by medicine. Buffalo, N. Y. P. W. MANSFIELD, M. D. AMOS GRAY, M. D.: -' I would recommend my brethren In the medical pro fession to avail themselves of an opportunity of becom ing acquainted with Prof. Bolles’ hew method of applying .Electricity, which I think is not known to medical mßn, except who have availed themselves of his inatruc tion, for lam very confident that much injury must be the result of a wrong, unskilful application of ho power ful an agent. AMOS GRAY, M. D. Detroit, Michigan. H.G. KIRBY, 81.D.r . . What I have now to say is from actual observation, as I have Bpent most of my time for the last two months with Prof. Bolles, and have witnessed the effects of the Elec trical agent oa from fifteen to twenty.five patients a day, Buffering from almost every form of chronic disease; and, . as strange as it may appear, in a majority of cases, a per fect cure was effected in from five to fifteen days. And I will here remark that moat of his patients were afflicted with Jong-standing complaints, considered incurable by all other known remedies. Cincinnati, Ohio. ' DADID THURSTON, M. D.: / I btlieve your discovery to be a reliable therapeutic agent, and feelit my duty 4a recommend it. Since I have received instruction from yon I havo applied it in cases of Aphony, Bronchitis, Chorea, Amenorrhcea, Asthma, and Congestion, and find that X have tbo same success that yon had when I was under your Instruction. I in variably recommfud medical mun to avail themselves of •an opportunity of becoming acquainted with your now mtthod of applying Electricity. - : Detroit, Michigan MARTIN GODDARD. M. D. , Prof. Bolles: A great revolution in my miad and prac tice baa taken place since I became acquainted with your new discover}' of applying Galvanism, Magnetism, and other modifications of Electricity as a curative agent. I have found by many experiments that Electricity is a safe .therapeutic agent In all acute and chronic: cases when applied according to your discovery. I desire that medi cal men should become conversant with your discovery, \ CLEVELAND, Ohio. Rochester, N. Y., Sept. 10,1859. - Prcf. Bolles—Dear Sir : The more I investigate this system of practice, the more confident I am that it is all powerful to meet the tea thousand diseases to which flash is heir. You, who first discovered Electricity to bo a reliable therapeutic agent, should be considered a great benefac tor of therace, for it is the only reliable system of cure for the woes and ills of suffering immunity. It is strange that physicians have become’ bo wedded to their several systems, brought up from the darkness of past ages, that they will close their eyes against the light nowboam icg forth through this system of practice. All other sys tems I regard as the morning star to the rising sun. P. 3HEDB, M. D. ProF. BOLLES: The nearer I conform to your system of application, the more successful I am, and as I have examined all the guides and works published upon the subject, and seen nothing in reference to j our theory, I do not hesitate to say Ibelieveit to be original with you, and the only reli able system extant for curing disease. Respectfully yours, Toronto. OH AS. RANDALL, M. B.
