The War Meeting at Lancaster. Speech of Rev. Alfred Cookman The following eloquent speech of the able dime, Rev. Alfred Cookman, delivered at the war meeting In Lancaster, on Saturday last, we were unable to publish in our report of the proceedings of the meeting which Appeared yesterday, owing to the Crowded state of our columns. We give it in full to day, and it will well repay reading, He said: Fellow-Oitizbhs : This is to me a somewhat un expected call, but I should feel myself recreant to every great principle of patriotism and of truth if I refused or even hesitated in this, my native oounty, for it may not be known to many of you that I first opened my eyes upon God’s world within the limits of old Lanoaster; it gave me a being, and it gave me one of the beßt of wives, so that I feel under immense obligations to it. [Cheers-J I say that I should feel myself recreant to every principle of trulh and right, if I hesitated to seize this oppor tunity .to say, in‘ the language of old John Adams, “ Sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish, I give my heart and my hand” to these Union moasares. It is my living sentiment, and with the blessing of God it will he my dying sentiment, liberty and the Union now, liberty and the Union forever. [Groat applause.) ■ It is useless for any of us to disguise the fact— the stern and starting fact —that' this Union, which is so unutterably dear to our hearts,' is at the present in imminent peril. Thousands, yea, hundreds of thousands of our, fellow-citizens, organized and nrmed, are ifitent upon the overthrow of this, I dare to say, the very best Government that yonder Bun every looked down upon; a Government which ought to be just as dear to them as to ourselves; a Government with which our own hopes and the hopes of our ohitdren and children's children are intimately bound up !o the very latest genera tion ; a Government olosely conneoted, as we think, w ith the cause of liberty throughout the world, for If our experiment of self-government should prove a failure, we are satisfied that it must put baok the hand of freedom on the dial-plate of time at least fiity or one hundred years; a Government which, so far as we may judge, is one of Jehovah’s right hands of power -for the overthrow of despo tism. error, ignoranoe, and everything which could binder the coming of His kingdom. Thou sands st.d hundreds of thousands of our fel- low-oitizens, with worse than vandal-iike vioienob, are rushing forward to destroy the superstructure of that Government. Now the practical inquiry ocours, wbat is to be done? The answer, it ap-' peers to me, is an easy one. My fellow-citizens, what would you do if to-night at twelve o’clock you were to find an assassin in your bod ohamber, fully resolved upon your life? I make no ques tion but that you would spring from your slumbers and grapple with him, ana not even hesitate to put him to death in order to save your own life. Pa rent, what would you do if a rebellion were to arise in your domestic circle? Would not you Btretch forward the hand of authority and quickly quoll it? Citizens of Lanoaster, what would you ao if an infamous mob should rise up in these streets to destroy valuable property and imperil precious life? Intake no doubt that you would take down the muskets and rifles still remaining among you, and with the point of the bayonet or with the nse ef ammunition drive baok and put down such a mob. And you would do right. Self-protection would demand such a oourse. And in this case it is a stern duty. As Luther remarked on one occasion, May God help us, we cannot do otherwise.” That flag yon der must float; our Government must be main tained. [Cheers.] Our Union must be preserved and perpetuated in all its purity and integrity. [Cheers j Millions maybe spent, hundreds of thou sands of lives may be sacrificed, a whole generation may bo blotted out, and still we insist that it is of the very first consequence that our nationality be vindi cated. f“ Good,” and cheers.] Now, I apprehend that it is with this great principle in view we are assembled and associated this afternoon. A remark of Col. Forney’s brought to my mind a ciroumstanoe which transpired many years ago. It is said that in a military engagement wbioh occurred some where near the boundary line which separates Ingland and Scotland, a young chieftain fell just at the moment when, at the head of his troop, ho was furiously and successfully charging the foe. His comrades in arms, seeing him fall, were im mediately seized, with consternation, and began to retire in confusion. Witnessing this, his soul immediately filled with sorrow, and, al though ha was feeble, he managed with some effort to raise himself upon bis elbow, and while the life-blood was fast gushing from the gaping wound, while eternity was opening before him, he seized bis sword and waving it over his head, shouted at the top of his voioe, “My boys, I am not dead i lam not dead, but lam looking to see that every man does his duty.” [Cheers. J So I am here this afternoon to say that our Union is not dead. She has been wounded, foully and fear fully wounded ; and, observe, too, in the house of her friends. Still she is not dead. Hoar it, you daughters and sons of Lancaster, she is not dead— never dead; but, sword in hand, she is looking to see that every citizen does his duty, [Great ap plause ] She is looking to asoertain whether, in this time of exigency, we will rally to the rescue; whether in this, the darkest hour of the Republic, we will come up united to the help of freedom and the help of God. For, remember, this is the cause of truth; this Is the oauso of justice; this is the cause of freedom ; this is the cause of the Union; this is the cause of God. [Cheers ] I insist that God is always oh the side of truth and justice; and freedom. Will you not then , will not you, will not all these young men and citizens, esteem it at once an obligation, and a privilege, and a joy to conse crate their energies, their substance, their time, their lives and their all upon the altar of our coun try’s cause? [Cheers.] Allusion has been made to the patriot daughters CfLauosster. God bless thorn! _ 1 see them m these windows and assembled in the vicinity of this stand. God bless tdem! Mothers, wives, daughters, sis ters collected here, we have some faint idea of the sacrifices you are called upon to make,'and of the sufferings which you, in the providence of God, mUB‘ still undergo. Stilt, I trust that at least an over whelming majority of you have the spirit of that mo th or in the city of Philadelphia, who said, the other day, “ What are boos worth without a country?” [Cheers.] I trust you have the spirit of a friend aid former ;arishioner of mine in the borough of iWritburg, who has sent six stalwart sons to the scene of strife. Just before they left home and their mother’s presence they assembled in a photo graphic gallery and had their pictures taken, the eldest son standing in the midst of his other bro thers, and grasping the flag of the stars and stripes, and that picture left with the mother, is an evjj dines of undying affection. I think, too, in this connection of a mother in the State of New York, whose son, the other day, proceeded to the seat of war. He was connected with the Sheppard Rifles, Colonel Fareira commanding. It so occurred that the young man’s position was at the end of the p’atoon, near the curbstone, and the mo ther, anxious to be with him as long as he r< iaained in New York, took her place - at bis tide. As the regiment moved along Four teenth street, and down Broadway, that heroic o d American mother walked with her boy, keeping step with him. To relieve him while she could, she took bis musket from his hand, and stuck it over her old shoulder, and so she marched with him, side by side, carrying his musket; and tbe boy .was so much moved by her devotion that the tears literally ran down his cheeks. “ Don’t cry, don’t cry, my boy,” she said, “ be brave, and then, with God’s blessing, all must aud will be well.” [Cheers.] So, mothers and wives arid sisters and daughters of Lancaster, say to your cherished ones, “Go, go!” It is like tearing the heart out of our living and breathing bodies; it is like enshrouding our present and future with a gloom that must all the time bo felt; nevertheless, go and fight these battles _ of truth and justice and liberty, and God’s blessing must be upon you and yours. [Applause ] As the last speaker remarked, it is a gloomy hour in our country's history; hut I apprehend, my fellow-citizens, that if we look over the events of the last fifteen months we will still find reason for thankfulness. Is it nothing that that effeminacy, Whioh was beginning to curse our eitizeney, has met so powerful and sufficient an antidote ? Is it nothing that that spirit of insubordination whioh hss been so painfully rife in eur happy land, and which is, perhaps, one of the very causes of our J resent troubles, is receiving so effectual a check ? a it nothing that our patriotism, which se*med almost cold, is to day burning with a brilliant flame? That that sentiment which had almost died out has become a principal passion in the na tion’s heart! I take it upon myself to say that there have been more acts of moral heroism in this land, Within the last fifteen months, than in ail cur his tory previously. [Cheers!] And is all this nothing ? Is it nothing that Buccess . from time to time has crowned our arms ? Is it nothing that Nashville is curs ? Is it notbing that Memphis is ours ? and New Orleans is outb, and Norfolk is ours, and Win chester is ours, and the Shenandoah Valley is ours, cud that Richmond is, we trust and think, soon to be ours? [Cheers.] Is it nothing that that flag whioh’ we all love so much; and, by the way, !am just here reminded of a sentiment of arebe! prisoner who said to a friend of mine, that when they came Within sight of the old flag they were very likely to; feel weak in tbe knees! [Laughter and applause ] I say is it nothing that that grand old flag, on the last fourth of July, floated in every one of the thirty four States ? .[Cheers.] Ib all that nothing 7 [Great Applause ] ", Some of you, perhaps, have heard of a re markable iron egg, said to be still pfeseryed in the city of Dresden: There is a legend connected with this egg, which runs somewhat to this effect: On a Certain occasion, a prince sent the iron egg to his betrothed. When she received the gift she looked at it, and becoming-entirety disgusted with so rude a present, she flung it in disgust upon the ground. As it struck tbe earth, a secret spring was touohed, and lo! a silver yolk rolled forth.from the egg. As She gathered up the yolk;she touohed anothor se cret spring, and lo! a golden chicken was evolved. She took Uie chicken'in bbth'hands, and in doing so abe touched spring, arid lo! a'ruby crown: appeared, c :She>touohed a secret spring in the,ruby crown, and lo l , her eyes were blessed with the sight Of a magnificent marriage diamond ring. So let me remind you that this nattyi frdm the hand of God’s Providence 'seemed to’ have received an iron egg—an egg all crusted with tears and/clot ted with blood ; ’ but lo'!: with • the dismantling of Siimptyr.V a .secret- spring was touched,) and a silver yolk appeared, whioh, like a shield of patriotism,' spread all ,ovqr the Nqrthern States of this great and glorious Union.

McClellan, (cheers,)—Halleck, Banks, .Burnside, Hunter Foote, Farragut, Grant, and Buell, and many others whom ! might,, and perhaps ought to name.

Kllet’s Proposal to sink the Arkansas— Why He was not Supported—The Siege ot Vicksburg Raised-Strength of the. Rebels up the Yazoo-More Gunboats Building. [Correspondence ef the Cincinnati Gazette.] Mtsstssirri Flotilla, abovb ViOKßnuko, Wednesday Evening, July 23. I write this letter sb-ard one of our transports, in mo mentary apprehension of a surprise by a shot from the Arkansas, which, notwithstanding the effort made to de atroy her, still survives. The following was Colonel Ellet’s proposition to de stroy the Arkansas: “ Btham Bam Switzebland, opr Vioksbukg, - ‘'Sunday Monsiso, July 20,1882. ii To C. IT. Davis, Flag Officer Gunboat Flotilla: i < Permit me to say, Commodore, that I apprehend the continued existence ef the rebel gunboat mkansas so near na is exercising a very pernicious influence upon the confidence of our crows, and even upon the com manders of our boats; and. In view of thlß state of facts, it does seem to me that some risk should bs enoounlerel to inßure her destruction, and re-establish our prestige upon the Mississippi river I hope you have given my proposition your careful consideration, and trust that you may not conclude that the risk of fatluro is too great to attempt its accomplishment, “ I feel great confidence that, with united action, it will be made a complete anccesß. I will mi self command a boat that I shall select to run the Arkansas down, with a very small but carefully chosen crew: while, if yon and Com Farragut will vigorously attack the batteries, I shall feel that success wilt surely attend the effort. Hoping to boar from you favorably as to the attempt to destroy the rebel gunboat Arkansas, and that you will excuse the’froodom of these suggrations from one whose experience is so slight, as compared with yonr own ma ture judgment, I remain, with feelings of great respect, “ Your very obedient servant, . “lit. Col. ALFBED W. ELLET, “ Commanding Bam Fleet.” Col. Ellet, who is greatly dieaepolntel at the failure to destroy the Arkansas, is still confident of success, and he expresses his determination to try again. He is no en thusiast, but simply a cool, discreet, and reasoning man, with a purpose in life and a determination, not easily shaken by paitisl failure, to carry it out. One will naturally aik why the fleet did not co-operate with Eliot’s ram 1 Flag Officer Davis Bays that he never expected to see the ram return, and that he forgot that part of the agree ment making it obligatory-upon him to cover Bllet’s retreat. This wilt sound strangely, I know, coming from the tips of an experienced naval commander, but I leave it ia its naked truth, for the reader to regard it as he may. lam unable to say why Ccmmcdore Farragut failed to perform his part of the compact, but tt'ia stated that he could hot get his vessels under way in time.- Beports of deserters and refugees state that the rebels are busily engaged constructing other gunboats up the Yazoo. Boats are attacked by guerillas nearly all the way down from Memphis. A great deat of Bickness pre vails[indeed, half the fleet is. prostrated with the low swamp levers peculiar to this desolate waste of country. RAISING 188 SIEQB July 2 6.— The event of yesterday was the departure of Com. Farragut’s fleet for below, but his destination is unknown, probably Mobile Bay. Three of his gunboats have been left, and these, together with tbe Sumpter and Essex, lie at the month of Farragut’s canal, below the city, to protect it and prevent the Arkansas from runningdownj Gen. Williams withdraw his troops from the Peninsula and embarked with the Gulf snuadrou. July 2T.— The rein started up with the mail on Friday afternoon at three o’clock, but before leaving, the mortar boats, hospital, store, and towboats, had been removed to the mouth of the Yazoo, and the gunboats were pre paring to follow. I surmise tbe new position will be oc cupied not more than a week, when it is highly probable tbe entire flotiila.wlll return to Memphis. Montague (a rebel prisoner; states that there are be tween 2,500 and 5,000 troops, and 500 artillery, with seve ■ rsl batteries, up the Yazoo at Blake’s place, about thirty miles up. This force is under Gen. Bowen, of St. Louis. He denies that there are any more gunboats up tbo stream, but confirms other reports of rebel boatß lying up above Yazoo city. Details of the Second Battle with the Rebel Ram Arkansas—Daring Attack of the Queen of the West—The Arkansas and her Crew Driven Ashore—Terrific Rattle Between the Essex and the Arkansas—Our Vessels Finally Repulsed by Land Batteries—Cap ture of the-Sallie Wood—Naval Battle above Vicksburg. Special despatches to the Chicago Tribune ot the 31et of July contain the following details of the recent en deavor to cut the rebel gunboat Arkansas out of her hiding place at Yicksbnrg, under date of Cairo, July 30: The Bailie Wood, on her way up from the fleet, was captured uud burned by the rebels at Island No. 82, near Greenville. All her mails and despatches were taken. She bad forty . persons on hoard, including two soldiers, all hut three of whom were captured. The news from the fleet is very important. A most dtsperate attempt was made by the Queen of the West, on Tuesday week, to destroy the rebel r«m; Arkansas by running down and butting her as she lay at the levee di rectly under the battery. The shock is said to have been terrible, both veeeelß suffering severely. The crew of the Arkansas jumped ashoie, and had to be driven back by tbo land forces at the point of. the bayonet. It is sup posed tbat her guns were dismounted by the concussion, as she did not fire upon tte Queen on their return. The Queen of the West fs now on her way up for repairs, : having been riddled with shot, though no one was killed onboard It is reported that the rebels have a force of 2,500 men Under General Bowen, thirty-six miles up tbe Yazoo river. There are also Bve full batteries along the banks of the Yazoo. Near Gieenvilie, 130 miles this aide of Vicksburg, there are three companies of artillery and 250 cavalry, well armed and mounted. It is impossible far anything but armed vessels to pass up and down. Work has now been stopped on the canal, the negroes have been sent borne, and the siege of Vicksburg for the time vir tually abandoned Vicksburg, 24, via Caibo, July 30,1862 By arrangement between Commodores Davis and Far ragnt, the attempt to take the rebel ram Arkansas wa set for yesterday morning. Commodore Farragut did net like to leave tbe Arkansas loose, and hence concocted the attempt to take her. At daylight the Benton, Cin cinnati, Lonisvilie, Bragg, and Essex woighed auchor I and dropped down the river. Jnat above the point, the I Essex paseedthe rest of the fleet, and steamed down the { river, while the gnns and other hoate bebluo engaged the land batteries. The cannonading was terrific Every guard In town seemed to have its gnn. Tho Essex closed itß ports and casemates and steamed on amid a shower of bails, intending to ran directly 1 into the Arkansas and grapple her. As Bhe neared the Arkansas she discharged her heavy 11-inch bow gnns and rushed on, bat in the ’ smoke tbe.c&ble of the Arkansas, had been cat, so that she swung around, and tbe Essex ran into the shore. For ten minntes, then, the Essex and Arkansas were at close quarters, and the shots were incessant. The Essex evi dently did much damage to her formidable opponent, but, finding herself unsupported, she was forced to drop down I the river. The Essex lost one man kilted and three j wounded. She received ten shots, three of which went through her. Capt. Porter, of the Essex, feels c-inside- j rably chagrined that he was not more nobly supported. The Benton, Cincinnati, and Louisville certainly indalged in the fight at decidedly long time. No damage was oone in the rear of the Essex beyond shooting off the escape pipe of the Cincinnati. Although the Queen of the West could not accomplish much, she nevertheless went tottor her share of the blows, andjgot ten er a dozen shots through her. Bhe hit the Arkansas two heavy butts The effort, at all events, is a failure. The Ar kansas lies still under the frowning guns of Vicksburg The rumor that General Sterling Price Is coming in upon ns from above gains strength. Tbe ramor of his crossing at Gaines’ Banding comes to us from too many sources not to have some foundation. Considerable quantities of-stores and cattle have also been crossed there. I The negroes lately employed on the canal are being re turned this morning. Commodore Farragut’s vessel, the Ceres, was fired into while coming up the river from re- I turning slaves, and a captain of the Tth Vermont killed I and several soldiers wounded. . ;. . j The rebels are playing a desperate game at Greenville. Every transport is fired Into by small artillery and fire arms. The Wilson, On her next trip up, was riddled, and the Victoria; the last beat down, receiving a half dozen cannon shot through her.' It is feared’thst the Lady Pike and Bailie Wood have been burned by the rebels. Five of our gunboats are now under repairs. They were never so much needed as now. j Memphis 28, via Cairo, July 30.—General Grant has ordered General Sherman to take possession of all un occupied dwellings, stoies, and manufactories for the Government, and also where the owners are absent.

Hast Thursday, the point opposite Vicksburg exhibited some signs of.-a “skedaddle.” In the morning, all of Commodore Farragut’s fleet, except tbo Wissahickon and Panola, left the lower side of the Point" Th'ese'Boats wore left to aid our Western boats which had ran the blockade In opposing the terrible Arkansas,' should' aha,' attempt to ran below. An order was issued to the fleet above to also move np to the mouth of the Yazoo. As the boats moved off one after another, the negroes who had been working on the canal took a/panic.- They thought they wore to be left, and they ran to the shore in crowds. Their anxiety to “goto de Norf” was-great; but they could not all bo accommodated. Some, got aboard, but moat of them' were forced to trivet back to their masters. We saw them wearily trudging along the levee as we came up the river. The departure of Commodore Farragut, and the move ment of our Western fleet np the river, had a little the aspect of a retreat, and I deubt not there was joy on the hills of Vicksburg as the “Yanks ” left. , A deserter came in jnst as we were leaving, who re ported 1 that, in the encounter between the Essex and Queen of;tbe West with the Arkansas, five men were killed on ; tbe latter. One of the Eisex’e 11-lnch shot - went through her from stem to stern.' When the Queen butted tbo ArkansaH several of her crew jumped over board, expecting her to ba sunk.

We soon learned the reason of our escape below—the rebels had . been busy with the down crmibß boats alluded to. Doth boats were pretty well riddled, and one man was killed.on the lioness. When we got opposite Island 82 the rebels opened upon us with their four field, pieces, and until we got oat of range the ehot flew thick and fast. About fifty shots were fired at us, most of which passed harmlessly over us. We got a few good shells among them, hut the rebels were so em bowered in the bushes that we could hardly see the Btnoke of their guns. Their sharpshooters, concealed at their leisure, soon made it too hot to stand to our cannon, how ever. Daring the fanning of the blockade hot a half dozehrebele were really seen. ' Only one man was killed on onr boat, Mr, T. W. Spen cer, of Cincinnati. He was the boat’s carpenter. The ,rebel forces at Greenville, as I learned from a de serter from them, are as follows: Captain Sander’s artil lery,And.two companies of cavalry under Captains Buck ner and Blackburn—about 250 men. The cav&lry are Well armed and mounted. General Bowen, formerly of St. liouis, hag 2,500 men on' ttfe Yazoo, thirty-six miles up. There are also five full batteries along the river.

Its extensive cultivation is ne cessary for the preservation of the health of out soldiers. The Tomato seems to have a direct and peculiar action on the liver, producing all the beneficial 'effects of mer curial preparations without any of the injurious. It is said that the great success of the celebrated Plantation Bitters of Dr. Drake, which, previous to the present un happy condition of our country, was to be-foundupon the sideboard of thousands of Southern families, was owing to its principal ingredient being the active princi ple of this plant. In confirmation of its value, we have beard one of our most distinguished physicians remark that when he felt unwell in tho spring of the year, or during the warm months of summer and fall, he knew that it arose from the torpor of his liver, and he inva riably relieved himself by partaiing freely of these Bit ters at his meals. We trust that our troops will be sup plied with the above Bitters, if they can be procured, or if not, let them have an abundant supply of the Tomato, as it is both hygienic and nourisl S—T—3 860—X.

Tbe. natives of Peru are generally supposed to have long previously been acquainted with its meet wonderful qualities. Humboldt makes favora ble mention of the. febrifuge qualities of thisartiele as ah antidote to Fever and Ague, Intermittent.and Malarious Feversiinhis extensive South American travels. The Countess, wife of the Yiceroy of Peru, having in her own person experienced the beneficial effect of the bark, is said, on her return to Spain, in, the year 1640, to have first introduced this remedy into. Europe—After its introduction it was distributed and sold by the Jesuits, who are said to have obtained for it the enormous sum of its weight in silver From this circumstance it; was called tte Jesuit Powdeh, a title which it retained for many years. 1 In 1668, we are told that an Englishman, by the name of Sir John Talbot, employed it with great suc cess in France, in the treatment or Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia. Nervous Affections, Lass of Appetite, Weak ness and Debility,,Palpitation of the Heart, Diarrheea, Ac., Ac., under tbo name of English powder. At length, in the year 1679, he sold the secret of its origin and pre paration to Louis XIY., by whom if. was divulged.

Read the following : ' The opinions of medical men, after having ft eon instructed by Prof. BOLLES, 1220 WALNUT Street, Philadelphia, in the application of Electricity as a thera peutic agent. • Extracts of Letters from medical men, after having fully tested the (ii-Cl. very of Prof. BOLLES: W. K. WELLS, M. D, Buffalo, N. Y., aTtor a year’s practice, writes to Prof. B. as follows: I think my faith fully comprehends the fact that Eleo tricity, correotly applied, according to your discovery, is abundantly competent to euro all curable "diseases. My experience and success, after extensive practice, fully warrant this assertion. Were I sick with a fstal disease, I would far sooner trust my life In the hands of a ekllfal Electrician' than all the *• pathlee ” on earth besides Buffalo, N. Y. . W. B. WELLS, M. D. D; MoOABTHY, 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 relief of pain and cure of disease. I would fur ther state that I have for the past few weeks used Elec tricity in my practice, to the exclusion of nearly an other remedies, and have been .eminently successful, and con rdder it a universal therapeutic. Davtos, Ohio. D. MoOABTHY, 21. D. Pi 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 believe, when, applied according to“yonr discovery, it will cure all curable diseases, among whioh are numerous cases never benefited by medicine. Buffalo, N. Y. P. W. MANSFIELD, M. B, AMOSGBAY, M.D.: I would recommend my brethren in the medioai pro feßsion;to.avail themselves of an opportunity of becom ing acquainted with Prof. Bolles’ new method of applying Electricity, which I think j, not known to modical men, except those who have availed themselves of his instruc tion, for lam very confident that much injury mnst be the result of a wrong, unskilful application of so power ful an agent: AMOS GRAY, M. D. Detroit, Michigan. H. O. KIRBY, M. D.: What I have now to Bay is from actual observation, as I have spent most of my time for the last two months with Prof. Bolles, and have witnessed the effects of tho Elec trical agent oa from fifteen to twenty-five patients a day, suffering from almost every form of chronic disease; and, as Btrange as it may appear, in a majority of oases, a per fect cure waß effected in from five to fifteen days. And I will hereTemark that most of his patients were afflicted with long standing complaints, considered incurable by an other known remedies. H. G. KIBBY, M.D. CINOIENATI, Ohio, DAVID THUBSTON, M.D.: I believe your discovery to be a reliable therapeutic agent, and feel,it my duty to recommend it. Sincel have received instruction from you Lhave applied it in cases of Aphony, Bronchitis, Chorea, Amenorrhoea, Asthma, and Congestion, and find that I have the same success that yen had, when I was under your instruction. I in-, variably recommend medical men to avail themselves of an opportunity of becoming acquainted with your new method of applying Electricity. " Detroit, Michigan DAVID THURSTON, M.D. MABVIN GODDABD. M. D. 1 Prof; Bolles: A great revolution in mymlad and prac tice has taken place since I became-acquainted with yo.ur new discovery of, applying Galvanism, Magnetism, and other modificationsof Electricity asa 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 yonr discovery.- I desire that medi cal men should become conversant with your discovery. OLETBLAHO, Ohio. ' MABVIN GODDABD, M. D. Booiikstkr, N. Y., Sept. 10, 1859. Prof. Bolles—Dear Sir : The more I investigate this systeimpf practice, tho more confident l am that it is all powerful to meet the ten thousand diseases to which flesh is heir. ; 1 YouT who,first discovered Electricity to be a reliable therapeutic agent, should be* considered a great benefac tor of the race, for it !s the only reliable Bystem of onre for the woes and Ills of suffering humanity. It is-Btrange that physicians have become so.wedded to their several systems, brought up from the darkness of past ages, that they will close their eyes against the light nowheam ing forth through tbiß system of practice. All other sys tems I regard as the morning star to the rising son. P. SfiKDD, 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 guideß and works published upon the subject, and seen nothing in reference to your theory; I do not hesitate to say I believe it to be original with you, and the only reli able system extant for curing disease. f Respectfully yours, Toronto. OHAS. BANDALL, M. D. The opinion of a medical man, after, thirty years’ practice, fifteen' in Allopathy and fifteen in Homoeo pathy: Prof. Boli.es—Dear Srs : I never have, since you gave me instruction: in yournewdiscoveryof applying Electri city,and God forgive me ifl in the future ever do, practice either Homoeopathy or’Ailopathy. I have been strictly go verned by the philosophy you laid down, and for tbe best of reasons—namely:: That I am generally successful, and I fraFkly say to you that I am done with medicine forever.
