Report on the Cleansing of the Streets.
Mr..III.IIIAAV, chairman of the Special Committee
on Street Cleansing, presented the following interest
ing report from the contractor for cleansing the
• streets :
To the Honorable the Mayor and Councils of the City of
Philadelphia
GI:NMI:NEN : In submitting the following report
'of labors performed under my contract, it was de
signed to return a list of the encumbrances of various
kinds upon the paved streets of the city. The in
numerable quantities of these encumbrances preclude
the idea. Almost every street; lap, and alley in the
city is and has been, encumbered in some way, either
by building rubbish, paving sand, or refuse, or ma
terial from factories, left for weeks, and even months,
after the same has been of use to. the owners.' The
removal of such private material, refuse, and rub
bish has been the loss of thousands of dollars to
your contractor. The streets are also encumbered
by the prevalent practice-of throwing house, yard,
and garden refuse upon them, in direct violation of
the city ordinances. This is a filthy habit, and can
not be too promptly ended by enforcing the ordi
nances. Another growing evil is the keeping ash
boxes and large barrels on the sidewalks, and
Making daily deposits of ashes, etc., therein. Such
vessels continually encumber the streets ; they
ought to be of convenient size to handle, and
should be put out only on the regular ash days, and
removed immediately after the ash-carts pass on
their routes.
Other sources of evil in this department are the
dilapidated and badly-Constructed gutters, and in-.
lets to the public sewers. Of the former, there is
hardly a perfect gutter in the city. They are easily
choked up with•leaves, he.,
and rendered . offensive.
The inlets ate, as a general thing, of insufficient Ca
pacity to carry off the surface water, and choice up
With almost every storm.
The imperfect house drainage of the city is another
serious detriment to the proper cleansing of the
streets. All the slops, washings of kiteheus, yards,
Fie:, run directly into the public gutters, where,
from the bad condition of these, it frequently re
mains for days at n time, being not only offensive to
the eye, but prejudicial to the public health, particu
larly in warm weather. The true remedy for this,
is n proper system of sewerage, both public and pri
vate. Every house drain should connect with the
public sewer. In the absence of this, however, - it
might be partially remedied by compelling the own
ers or occupants of each house to keep the gutters
clean opposite each of their premises.
Your honorable body will observe that l the re-
Mimi of ashes, he., is a very large item in the
cleansing of the city, and it is a just cause of com
plaint that the process of their collection is a great
nuisance by reason of the dust blowing over per
sons,: property, and streets, while they are being
loaded, as well as while they are passing away to
the - place of deposit. The carts in use, and that have
been in use for years, at this work, are quite unfit
-for such a purpose. These carts should not only be
tight and covered, but should, on account of the
long distance to which the ashes have to be' re
moved, be of large capacity. The importance of
this matter early received my attention, and to
remedy the evil and meet this want, I have designed
an ash wagon which, jt is believed, will meet all
the above requirements. A model of this wagon is
submitted to your honorable body for approval.
The efficient removal of garbage your contractor
found very early in his labors to be a matter hereto
fore entirely neglected in Philadelphia. The greater
part of this refuse of the city is collected by private
parties in all kinds of vehicles, none of which are
adapted to the purpose; their general appearance be
ing old and dilapidated, as well as filthy in the ex
treme. These parties, as a matter of course, take only
such garbage as suits them ; the balance is thrown in
the ash barrel, or more frequently on the highways.
The district carts were early ordered to attend to
this matter, but their ettbrts have not been satisfac
tory to myself, although the work was done as well
as possible under the circumstances. There is not a
suitable cart for the purpose in the city; to meet
this want I have also designed a garbage wagon, the
model of which is also submitted to your honorable
body ; so likewise is the model of an inlet cart for
the purpose of removing the contents of inlets, and
mud, &c.
It is a truthful remark, that no work can be well
done without the proper tools. To execute the.same,
the, above wagons or similar ones are absolutely ne
cessary to secure the efficient cleansing of the streets;
but their introduction, your honorable body will
readily see, will cost a large outlay of capital, which
can only be invested by the City Government be
atoWing that atte .tion and encouragement on the
natter its importance demands.
The Obits of your contractor have not been as
satisfactory to himseff AS he had hoped or expected,
for several reasons. Among these, was the entire
want of dumping grounds, or places of deposit, for
dirt and ashes. This want is only partially reme
died yet, and has not only been the cause of much
annoyance in my early ellbrts, from interested and
disappointed parties preventing the use of several
such places obtained, after much trouble and ex
pense, but have been a great drawback to the
prompt execution of the work.
The want of suitable carts for the removal of dirt,
ashes, and garbage, as before remarked, in the city,
a matter totally unexpected, was another serious ol.)
struction to the work. None of the carts used for
this purpose in the city, are adapted to the work.
There is not a water-tight cart in Philadelphia, ob
tainable for the purpose. The cost of constructing.
such carte, wagons, &e. , together with their stock,
will amount to at least $lB,OOO or $20,000. A few
Months , contract would not admit of this outlay.
• In conclusion, I bear testimony to the uniform
kindness extended to - my efibrts by the Mayor and
Councils, as well as all other departments 01 the city
government. And if these efforts meet your ap
proval, and you order a continuance of toy contract,
I shall take the earliest opportunity of supplying the
deftciences of my department by the purchase of suit
able stock, endtracing ash wagons, water-tight carts,
and garbage wagons, and continue to give every
effort to secure that satisfaction in the execution of
the work, as shrill remove all cause of complaint,
and meet the wants and requirements of the city.
Respectfully, R. A. ,SMITH.
Attached to the report was a statement showing
the total amount of dirt; garbage, fee., removed from
the streets from the Ist of May up to the present
time. The total number of loads of dirt is 45,121 ;
Ribes, 40,021; dead animals removed, 1,017; inlets
cleansed, 1,852.
Reports of C ittees.
Mr: Mt:Gl '
air from the Committee on Water, re
ported a resolution to lay water pipe on Vernon,
from Tenth to Eleventh streets, and on Diamond
street, from Front to Second. Agreed to.
The Committee on Supplies submitted an ordi
nance making en additional appropriation of 050
to the clerks of Councils, for the purpose of carpet
ing and furnishing the committee room, at a cost of
$350, and for carriage hire, costing $2OO.
Mr. DAvis objected to this bill for:carriage hire.
There was an appropriation of $BOO for carriage hire
Which'he did not know was exhausted. He would
like to know how the money was spent.
Mr. DOtrottEnTv replied and said the money had
been consumed by the committees in visiting certain
localities. The bills tvcre in possession of the clerks
and could be examined. The bill passed finally. _
The Committee on Defence and Protection re
ported an ordinance reappropriating the sum of
$20,600 for the purpose of paying bounties, the mo
ney to be taken from the unexpended fund appro
priated to encourage the enlistment of volunteers.
Adopted
Our Harbor Defences.
The same committee also made areport on the-re
solutions of the Board of Trade relative to our Har
bor Defenc( s. A sub-committee was sent to Wash
ington, and they were assured that the subject was
receiving every attention, and that everything pos
sible was being done to remedy the imperfect condi
tion of the defences of the river and bay, but that
the manufacturing power of the country was strained
to the utmost in furnishing ordnance adapted to the
changed conditions of modern warfare and iron ar
mor for vessels required for offensive operations,
and therefore it would be out of question to put the
approaches of our city in a perfect state of defence
immediately. Such aid as could be rendered inci
dentally by the employment of vessels waiting for
repairs at the navy yard, and by arming as rapidly
as possible the existing fortifications, was, however,
promisqo, and the additional! assurance was given,
that Philadelphia, on account of its distnnoe from
the rea, and the known construction and equipment
of the privateers then afloat and fitting out in Eng
land, was considered, for the present at least, mote
secure than any harbor on the,coast. It was furthel•
estimated that should the city.nuthorities undertake
the construction of , an iron-plated battery on their
own account, they would inevitably divert from the
service of the Government a portion of the manufac
turing power of the country, and by that amount
retard the cempletion of the sea-going iron-clads now
so urgently needed for active operations. The com
mittee, however, are of the opinion that the city
corporation should not rest supinely In the confi
dence that there is no danger, but should put forth
its best energies to render our situation perfectly
secure. The committee at thepresent time are not
prepared to recommend any definite plan for the
consideration of Council.
The report was adopted and the committee dis
charged.
Purohnso of Penrose Ferry Bridge.
Mr. Fox. from the Committee on the purchase of
Penrose Ferry Bridge, reported that they arrived at
the conclusion that the lower part of the city is fully
entitled to relief from the ink of a toll-bridge. Am
ple provision has been and is being made for such
bridge accommodations in the upper and middle sec
tions of the city, while the absolute wants of a large
ropidation, on both sides of the river, that desire a
lower crossing somewhere between Market street
and the mouth,of the river, have been entirely lost
eight of. In regard to the cost, the committee al
lude to the reports of the chief engineer and survey
or, which fixes the value of the bridge at $30,000, as
follows: foundations, masonry, and rip-rapping,
$21,797; timber, workmanship, and pivot, with
tent right, $7,62.3 ; patent right on Howe truss, $5030.
Thecommittee therefore flx the price of the bridge
at $30,000, and offer an ordinance to that effect.
The Minority "import.
A minority report was also made by Mr Weriin-
LL, in which the committee say the bridge is not
a durable or substantial one. The superstructure
is light, and in the opinion of the chief engineer would
need additional repairs. The superstructure,
as It
now stands, is exposed to the weather, and there
fore liable to decay, and the expense of rooting
would have to he incurred. The approaches are of
trestle work and built entirely .of hemlock, and the
chief engineer is of the opinion that they should be
removed and masonry approaches of a durable
character erected; to make these alterations would
coot $lB,OOO, as follows : flooding $1,500; additional
arches, $1,500; new approaches, $15,000. By the
addition-of $lB,OOO to the price fixed upon, would
cost the city $54-132.12. The bridge is n draw-bridge t
• and would require the constant attention day and
night of two persons, at an annual cost of $l,OOO, to
which should be added the ordinary repairs of new
flooring, h.c. at $5OO per annum, making the annual
expense to t ' he city $1,666.62. The committee also
allude to the fact that one-third of the purchase
money bf both the Market-street' and Fairmount
bridge was made up by private subscriptions, re
ducing the price of the former to about $54000, and
the latter to about $26,000, while no such subscrip
tion is allowed by the stockholders of the Penrose
ferry bridge. The bridge is located some three
miles from the built-tip portions of the city, and no
petition of :ilium: for its purchase has been pre 7
:sented to Councils. The receipts of the bridge
average about $8 per day, and in winter season
'there is little or un-travel over it. The committee
also allude to the depressed state of the city timtnees,
:and think the expense an unnecessary one only in
-creasing the funded debt, and making a deficiency of
-over $700,900,
The minority report was first taken up, and the
;passage ,of the resolution for the purchase of • the
tridge was strongly advocated by Mr. Fox, on the
ground that it was a public necessity.
Wwriign/Lt. stated that two years ago the
company wanted $85,C00 for the bridge, and are now
willing fo sell for $30,000. Without the fenders they
make the cost 'of the bridgt $36,589. This was a
mistake, as the bills shoW that $41,000 Was the cost
of the bridge. Credits for the balance are.not given'
.The speaker contended.that the bridge was poorly
constructed, and would require an immense outlay
to put it in order. The bridge at the Falls of The
Schuylkill was, to cost $6,000, when the city mild
425,000. Councils were innocently led into this
talus mistake, and why should they commit the
Bate mistake agahil

The bill was debated at length, when a motion to
refer and print was made, which was lost by a vote
of 11 to 8.
On a motion to suspend the rules for a third read.
in}; , the bill was laid over until next meeting.
Mr. AimsTnofso offered an ordinance regulating
the awarding of contracts for street paving, which
was ordered to be printed and made the epeeist order
of the day for Thursday next.
The League Island Report.
A resolution was offered by Mr. Mucianv, direct
ing the clerks of Councils to have published in
pamphlet form one thousand copies of the minority
report made to the Secretary of the Navy by the
Commission appointed to examine and report upon
the adaptationof League Island as n site for a naval
depot. Agreed to.
Bills from Common Council.
The bill for the paring of Fernon and other streehl
was concurred in ; also, a bill to pave Edgemont
street, Nineteenth ward.
Also, the ordinance to pay the bill of Peter Wag
ner for ice furnished the city.
Numerous other small bills from Common Council
were concurred in.
The Tax Rate.
The ordinance fixing the tax rate for 1863 was, on
motion of Mr. Miriam . , called up.
Mr. l 4 ETtnerrr.T. said the rate, of two dollars was
entirely too small to pay deficiencies and meet the
expenses of next year. He showed that serious
omissions of indebtedness and expenses had been
Made in preparing the estimate. He, therefore,
moved to make it $2.25 on the hundred dollars.
On motion, the further consideration of the bill
was postponed and made the special order of the
day for four o'clock on Thursday next.
The bill nicking the annual appropriation to the
clerks of Councils was concurred in, without amend
ment.
Also, the ordinance making an appropriation to
theDcpart meta of Poor.
Also, the ordinances making appropriations to the
inspectors of the county prison and Board of Health.
The resolution requesting the Committee on Fi
nun° to report a loan of $500,000, for the relief of the
families of volunteers, was agreed to.
The bill making an appropriation to the Fire De
partment was read.
Mr. I‘lxo Any - moved to strike out the item appro
priating $4OO to the Columbia, Franklin, Friend
ship, Globe,Hand-in-Hand, Humane, Independence,
Itianayunk Reliance, Spring Garden, Western, and
West Philadelphia Engine Companies.
Mr. Itlnomtv gave as his reason that these com
panies were perfectly useless, and only an unneces
sary expense of $4,800 per annum to the oity.
Mr. CUVLiar concurred in this. He thought now
was the time to make a reform in the Piro Depart
ment. He thought the hand-engines at a fire were
of no use whatever. The idea was absurd that, we
have a volunteer Fire Department.
Mr. Duncsox thought that we could not do with
out these hand engines. He maintained that they
were of great use at a fire.
The motion was finally lost.
Mr. Covi.xii then offered a further amendment,
that the chief engineer shall give notice to all the
companies that Councils will, without delay, pro
ceed to consider and act upon the subject of reducing
the expenses of the Fire Department, by diminish=
ing the number of companies, and by the adoption
of such other measures as will add to its efficiency,
and that a joint special committee of five members
from each chamber be appointed, whose duty it shall
be to.report on the subject - at the first meeting in
January.
This amendment, like the former, was voted down.
Mr. CITYLER thought the chamber were really
taking a retrograde movement instead of going for
ward. lie could not understand how members would
vote against that which they knew in their own con
science would benefit the city. ,
On the final passage of the bill - Mt :Megary called
the yeas and nays, and - a- quorum not voting the

Mr. Quix offered the following.';
Whereas, By the act of Assembly. of February 2,
1854, the .qualifications of a member of Common
Council are the same as a member of the House of
Representatives of thispommonwealth ; and
Whereas, By the 19t1raection of the Ist article of
the Constitution of the State it declares "That no
member shall hold any office' under the United
States or this Commonwealth, during his continu
ance in office," and
Whereas, The act of Assembly of April IGth, 1839,
section 38, declares that "no person holding an
office under the Government of the United States
shall be allowed to serve as a member of City Coun
cils," and
Whereas, Thos. J. Duffield, member of Common
Council from the Eighteenth ward, is now, and has
been for some time, holding an office under the Go
vernment of the United States, to wit, the office of
"General Superintendent of the Clothing Depot of
the United States Arsenal," at Philadelphia, and
Whereas, The said Thos. J. Duffield by reason o •
his holding the office aforesaid, is ineligible, and has
thus rendered himself legally - disqualified to perform
the duties of Councilman: therefore,
Resolved, By the Common Council of the 'city o'
Philadelphia, that the seat of Thos. J. Duffield
member of thisi Council from the Eighteenth ward
be vacated, and that the clerk be, and is hereby, di
rected to erase his name from the roll of members.
Mr. LEiutr moved to refer the matter. tea special
committee, in order that the Council might vote un
derstandingly.
Mr. Lorui-mx stated that nothing new could be
learned by. delay, and no further inforfflation than
that stated in the preamble could be ()gained.
Mr. .FitimmAx was surprised that a . member
should use such language. How can each one be
convinced that the allegations set forth are true,
unless they are examined individually?' He re
minded the Council that last year a member of Se
lect Council was also a member of the Legislature.
He was a Democrat, and no objection was made.
Mr. Quin said that the matter had received a
careful consideration, and from all the facts that
could be obtained; it was clear that Mr. Dnftteld had
become disqualified. •
Mr. Lxion contended that Mr. Duffield did not
hold an "office" or an "appointment," in the sense
that those words are used. He held no appointment
from the War Department, but from the military
storekeeper, who is appointed by the quartermaster.
Mr. Simrsow-said that he had reason to know
that Mr. Duffield was not "General Superintendent
of the U. S. Arsenal."
Mr. QUIN produced a letter, signed by Mr. D., as
general superintendent, Sc.
Mr. Tr:Eoo said that, in common decency, this
question should be allowed to go to a committee for
inVestigation ' for there were many things connected
with the matter worthy of attention. He quoted
from the. Constitution of the State, under which
Councils are also organized, to show that nothing
is contained in it that U. S. officers should be ex
cluded from the Legislature. They should not,
therefore, be excluded from Councils if duly elected.
Mr. LEloit's motion to refer to a special commit
tee was then voted upon, by yeas and nays, and dis
agreed to—yeas 19, nays 24.
The original resolution was then adopted by the
following vote :
YKAs—Messrs. T. F. Adams, Barger, Barnes, '
Bower, Brinkworth, Hallowell, Henry, Huhn,
Bulseman, Layer, Loughlin, MeClosky, McDonald,
Paul, Quin, Shern, Sites, Smith, Spence, Sutton,
Tomlinson, Wolbert, Wright, Kerr, (President)-21.

vin, COmly, Freeman, Gates, Harper, Hodgdon, -
Leigh, Lippincott, Moore; Peale, Buhl, Simpson,
St err, Sulger-17.
So Mr. buffield's seat was declared to be, vacated.
[The a nnouncement of the vote created quite a sen
sation: in the chamber. The Opppoition members
immediately arose and left the chamber, leaving
only the Democrats to transact the important busi
ness of the city.]
Mr. DrFFIELD, who is one of the most active mein
bers of Councils, was absent during the debate.
The Tax-rate.
. The ordinance fixing the tax-rate for 1663 was
taken up.
11r. LEIOII, the only Opposition member who re
mained In his seat, protested against action upon the
tax-hill when no quorum was present. One-half the
chamber, he said, had left their seats, and it was
apparent that there is no quorum present. In jus
tice to the tax-payers, he demanded that the con
sideration of the bill be postponed till Thursday
next, when the differences between the members will
probably be settled.
The consideration of the ordinance was proceeded
with, and each section passed without debate.
The main features of this bill have already been
published in these columns. The rate fixed is $2 on
the $lOO. We give the basis of this rate, as com
pared with that of last year :

part of that set apart for the relief and employment
of the poor shall be levied on the assessed property
situate in the wards where houses for the accommo
dation. of the poor arc provided, as required by the
eighteenth section of the act of January 2, Ittsl.
The Highway Department. •
The resolution authorizing the transfer of certain
items of appropriation to the Highway Department,
amounting to $10,196,50, was taken up, and met with
- strong opposition from Mr. Leigh and Mr. Cattell—
the latter of whom had now retuned to his seat.
The resolution was adopted. . .
The Bounty to Volunteers.
Mr. PA nr., of the Committee on Defence, offered
a resoltition authorizing the payment of $2OO bounty
to all recruits mustered into the service on the 3d of
Novrmber as part of the quota of the City, even if
their acceptance were not shown to be necessary to
prevent a draft. The resolution also provided for
striking out the proviso of Select Council limiting
the amount of bounty at $7000: Adopted;

LADELPHIA.
The object of the following certificates is to show that
cures at 1220 WALNUT Street are permanent and re
liable. The first cure was performed nearly three years
ago, the second was performed nearly two years ago, the
third about one year, and hundreds more of like cases
might be shown.
READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY.
- - .
About twelve months ago 1 had a severe attack or
Diabetes, attended with other difficulties too numerous
to mention. My desire for drink was constant, and al
though I drank gallons per day, my thirst was never
allayed; I was only able to sleep at short intervals,
. which seemed like a trance. The mucous surface of my
mouth and threat had become so parched and feverish,
that I was in constant misery. I was also suffering
from all the horrors of Dyspepsia, loss of appetite. Nau
sea, and frequent and severe attacks of vomiting; and so
prostrated was my geueral system, that .1 was scarcely
able to move about. I had availed myself of the science
And skilLor dLstinguisheddae.iMl_men.
both of tbe Allo
pathic' and liume2opatinc sffiuml, and exhausted their
catalogue of _remedies, but found only temporary relief..
In this condition, when every ray of hope seemed para
lyzed, I heard of the discovery of Professor Bolles in the
use of Electricity, and the wonders he WAS performing in
curing disease, and placed myself under his treatment
and, to the astonishment of myself and friends, in two
operations my Diabetes was controlled, and other diffi
culties soon disappeared ; mt appetite has returned, sleep
undisturbed, and, in fact, I feel like one made anew.
I would further state that I have seen other remark
able cures performed by Prof. Bolles, and would advise
the diseased to call at T Walnut street, and ho restored
to health. I shall be glad to give any one information
calling on me. THOMAS HARROP T
Rose Mill, West Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, May Ist,
Read the following from a preacher of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, No. 1633 Helmuth street, Philadel
phia :
In attempting a definition of my disease, I can oxly
give some of the many syntptoms which,
taken altoge
ther, were the most homd t and even medical men did
not know my disease from pathological symptoms. How
ever, Professor C. H. Bolles; by whom I was cured, lo
ea ted my disease in the pelvic viseera, in live minutes
after I entered his office, and offered to warrant a. perfect
cure in eight applications.. And I frankly admit that in
eight applications of Electricity, administered by Pro
fessor Boum?, I`2) Walnut street, Philadelphia, I am
perfectly cured ; and to me this is most astonishing, for I
bad exhausted the catalog to of old-school remedies, and
grew worse all the time.
I had long believed that in Electricity resided a potent
agent for the cure of disease, if a right application could
iu made; and now I can comprehend, front its powerful
effects on MC, for a speedy cure, although no shocks were
given. • All was pleasant, and accomplished as if by
magic.
I will give most of my symptoms, for the benefit of
suffering linmanity. I bad dyspepsia, bad marismus, or
wasting of the tissues of tho whole body; at times a
difficulty of breathing, some palpitation of the heart,
much bronchitis, trenal;llng of the limbs after exercise,
aversion to business and company ; at times gloomy, ina
bility to collect my thoughts vigorously on any subject,
a loss of memory, pain in various parts of the body: suf
fered much from lumbago, deranged secretions of the
kidneys and other glands of the system, constant drtg
ging pains in the lumbar region, and severe nervous diz
ziness.
I believe it is my duty, as a lover.of humanity, to re
commend this discovery of Professor BOLLES tojthe
afflicted of all classes. There seems to be no guesswork,
no confusion, no matter of doubt in his treatment.. lie
proceeds on fixed principles,and according to fixed laws,
which seem to me infallible and harmonious. Ile war
rants, by special contract, the most obstinate, ' throttle
• and acute cases, and charges nothing, if he falls. I ad
•vise all of the diseased to try fits tce•entent.

'Read the following:
PR n,ADELPFILI, March SI, 1362.
PROFESSOR BOLLES. MO Walnut street : The remarka
ble cure which I have derived front your method of ap
plying Electricity compels me to thus acknowledge the
great obligations .I am under to you for snatching me, as
it were, from immediate death. About two years ago,
while a resident of Cincinnati, Ohio, I was visited with
en attack of paralysis of the lower extremities, which
-rendered me almost entirely unable to stand upon my.
limbs. I emplOyed some of the most celebrated physi
cians to be found in that section, hilt received no appa
rent benefit, and after a lapse of about eighte-nt months
was taken with a spasm,: which one of my physicians
pronounced a lit (if apoplexy. Two weeks elapsed from
that time beforei bemune the least conscious of anything
that had transpired, nor could I concentrate my mind or
converse upon any subject without becoming very vi
sionary and excited, until I placed myself nuder your
valuable treatment. After my arrival in Philuderphia
my attention was called to Your treatment by a pamphlet
handed me by my lather, which contained the names of
some gentlemen whom I had been forinerly acquainted
with, and whose statements I could rely upon. I imme
diately made up my mind to place myself under your
treatment. I have now been the recipient of tour treat
ments, and I now feel perfectly satisfied that I ant re
stored to a sound condition, anti theibre feet it my duty
to gratefully acknowledge the benefits which I have re
ceived through your treatment.
Very respectfully yours, &c.

N. B.—lt will be well for the diseased to recollect that
Prof. B. has given a word of caution in his pamphlet to
guard them against trusting their health in the bands of
those in this city claiming to treat diseases according to
his discovery This caution may seem severe on those
using Electricity at h.ward, but it is the severity of truth,
and designed for the good of humanity. See advertise
ment in another column.

A YER'S CATHARTIC PILLS.-THE
-LA- sciences of Chemistry and Medicine have been taxed
their utmost to produce this best, most perfect purgative
which is known to man. Innumerable proofs are shown
that these PILLS have virtues 'which surpass in excel
lence the ordinary Medieines,.and that they win nupre
cedente.dly upon the esteemed of all men. They are safe
and pleasant to take, but powerful to cure. Their pene
trating properties stimulate the vital activities of the
body, remove the obstructions of its organs, purify the
blood, and expel disease. They purge out the foul hu
mors which breed and grow distemper, stimulate slug
gish or disordered organs into their mutual action, and
impart healthy tone with strength to the whole system.
Not only do they cure the every-day complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous diseases that
have bellied the beSt of human skill. 'While they pro
duce powerful effects, they are at the same time in dimi
nished.deses„ the safest and hest physic that can be em
ployed for children. Being: suitor-coated, they are plea
sant to take; anti being purely vegetable, are free from
any risk of harm. Cures have been made which surpass
belief, were they 'net substantiated by men of such
exalted position and character as to forint4the suspicion
of untruth. Many eminent clergymen dad physicians
have lent their names to certify to the public the reliabi
lity of our remedies, while others have sent me the as
surance of their conviction Unit our Preparations contri
bute immensely to the render' my afflicted, suffering
'fel low-Men.
The Agent below named is pleased to
.furnish gratis
our Atnerlcan Almanac, containing directions for the
use and certificates of their cures, of the following oom
ph. inm:
Costiveness, Dil inns Complaints, Rhenmatiam, DropsY,
Heartburn, Ileadache, arising from a foul stomahh, Nau
sea, Indigestion, Alorbid Inaction" of the Dowels and Pain
arising therefrom, Fla tulency,'Less of APPetite, all Dis
eit.,es which require an evacmint medicine. They also,
by purifying the blood and stimulating the system, cure
many complaints which it would not be supposed they
could reach, such. as Deafness, Partial Blindness, Nen
mlgia and Nervous Irritability, Derauggments of the
Liver ml Kidneys, (: oat, and other• kindred complaints
arising from a low state of the body or obstruction of its
functions.
Do not be put off by unprincipled dealers with some
other pill they make more profit on. A+k for AYER'S
TILLS, and take nothing raise. No other they can give
you compares with this in its intrinsic value or cundivc
powers. The sick want the hest aid there Is for them,
and they should have it.
