SUBSCRIPTIONS TOWARDS WEE SOLDIERS'
4AI I:IS , I'MAN DINICER.—The total sum of $2,800 col
lected b) Messrs. Bullock, Marshal Millward, and
others, has altogether been forwarded to Mrs. Caleb
B. Smith, of Washington city, in response to her
appeal for subscriptions in aid of giving a Christmas
dinner to all the npldiers in the hospitals in and
around Washington city. A portion of the money
was tent on a few days t ince by Marshal Millward,
and the fol:owing answer received:
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 15, 1862.
Virm. MILLWARD: SIR : Your favor of the
13th inalant, containing ft cheek for $2,300, collected
by yourself, George Bullock, and Marks Harkness,
.I;sqs., from the patriotic and benevolent citizens of
Philadelphia, in aid of the fund to provide a Christ-
Mas dinner for the . sick and wounded soldiers in
Washington And its vicinity, has been received, for
which you will please accept and present my sincere
and heartfelt thanks.
Pennsylvania has done nobly in furnishing men
and means for the prosecution of the war, and the
liberal response of the Philadelphians is only
another evidence of their generosity and the deep
interest they feel in the welfare of our gallant sol
diers.
The project of giving a proper festival to all the
soldiers in the hospitals here is one of considerable
magnitude, but the arrangements I have made are
of such a character that I trust none will be neglect
ed. At all events, 1 can assure you that nothing
shall be omitted on my part to render the forth
coming festival an occasion to belong and gratefully
remembered.
Allow me again to express my, gratitude to the
citizens of Philadelphia and to your associates who
aided in collecting a most liberal contribution.
A Yours, very respectfully,
.MRS. OA.LEB B. SMITH.

.DELI HOES UNDER THE TAX LAW.—It has
been decided that the wool puller-is not liable to tax
80 a Manufacturer. If he sends his wool for sale.to
a commission house, he is not liable to a dealer's li
cense; but, if he makes his own sales, he is liable to
take license as a wholesale or retail dealer. The
Commissioner of Internal Revenue has decided that
2,240 pininds constitute a ton in all cases Under the
excise law. The decision is important to iron manu
facturers and others. When persons are employed by
tobacconists or dealers in cigars, whether in the same
town or at a distance, to manufacture cigars, and for
this purpose receive tobacco from their employers to
be made into cigars, which, when finished, are re
turned-to their employers, such persons may not be
required.to pay the value thereof, provided, at the
request of the assessor, they make out a list, sub
scribed and sworn to, which list shall state the num
ber of cigars so -made during each month, and, as
near as may be, the value thereof, with the name
and residence of the person to whom the cigars have
been returned. If the said employer, to whom the
cigars are returned, shall not reside, nor have his
usual place of business, in a district in which the
list is made out, then the assessor shall transmit
it to the district where such employer re
sides, to the end that the duties thereon, un
der the excise law, may be paid by the em
ployer. But if the parties live in the same district,
the assessor will assess the amount due in such lists
to the employer. The term "outside dealers" has
been given to a class of pedlers or hucksters, who,
having no regular place of business, buy and sell
large amounts of produce and other merchandise.
Not being engaged:in legitimate trade, the regular
dealers call them " outskie.dettlers." They travel
all through the State making purchases and imme
diately ship their produce to the cities. Having no
business houses, they arc under no expense for
rent, and can afford to undersell those regularly in
the prOttee business. They also escape the pay
ment of license, which they are clearly entitled to
pay: This class is much more numerous than might
be supposed, and it would be well for the United
States assessors to see that they are all put under
contribution to the Government. Theycan well af
ford to pay the license; and it is hut just to those
who conduct 'business in a legitimate way, that these
" outside dealers" should be taxed in common with
all other classes.
TAX •DurracATEs.—The Mayor has ve
toed a supplementary ordinance of Councils which
provides for the repeal of certain sections of an ordi
nance in the municipal code fixing the pOwers and
duties of the City Commissioners. By this code,
which passed by Select Council three or four years
ago, it was ordained that a certain amount of money
should be appropriated to make out the tax dupli
cates for the different wards. At that time the sums
designated were sufficient, though with the progress
of the city the sums must necessarily increase. The
municipal code was intended as a permanent law in
the city government. In such wards as the Fif
teenth, Nineteenth, and Twentieth, where proper
ties are continually going up, the precincts increa
sing in rise, and the wards dividing, no arbitrary
can be established withjustlce. The City Clom
misoioners, therefore, made application early this
year for the revision of the code, with a view of ma
king the price correspond with that which is charged
for the making out the duplicate books. The sec
tion was, therefore, repealed, and the Mayor veto.ffi
the repeal on the ground that the original bill was a
necessary restraint on ulunicipal expenditures. It
is understood that the Mayor sent to Councils his
veto message merely because of his general desire to
curtail expenses. In the original ordinance it was
also provided that tax duplicates should be made
out and deposited with the City Controller. These
cost about $6,000, and have been found to he utterly
worthless, and have wisely been abolished by Coun
cils.
COLONEL. SEGREARTn I s EtEAV . Y AWNS,
Limy ~ emu ---
u-aeci—bru.en - camped on cooper's
Creek, Camden, numbers nearly 1,500 men. Twelve
full batteries, of 147 men each, with five command
ing officers, are to be raised, making, in all, nearly
1,800 privates. The men are progressing rapidly in
the drill, and as only 500 recruits are yet wanted to
fill the organization active measures should at once
be taken by the authorities for its completion., Col.
Segebarth is putting forth every energy to make up
this small deficiency, but recruiting has for some time
past progressed very unsatisfactorily, although the
bounties offered by .this regiment are higher than
those offered by any other. Col. Segebarth is much
liked among his men and officers, and possesses those
traits which cannot fail to unite him strongly with
his command. The comforts and necessities of the
men of the regiment are well looked to, and this, of
itself, is the strongest recommendation which can
be presented to those who are about attaching them
selves to some military organization. The regiment
will, most undoubtedly, whether completed or not, be
soon moved to a scene of more active duty, where
its great value will be heard of and duly appreciated.
It is seldom that we see in so large an organization
as this officers of such intelligence and skill, upon
whom alone depends the future prosperity and suo
cess of the regiment.

PI oonEssixo.—The new railroad from
North Branch, New Jersey, to Flemington, is pro
gressing. This road will be about fourteen miles in
length, and will pass through the richestagricultural
region of New Jersey. It will afford an outlet not
heretofore enjoyed by that portion of the State to
Philadelphia and Southern cities, forming, as it will,
a close connection at Flemington with the local road
extending to Lambertville, and there connecting
with the Belvidere and Delaware Railroad. It will
also forma channel by which the produce of that
rich region will rind its way to the New York market
in much larger quantities than it has hitherto done.
This will add to the facilities now offered of reaching
New York from New Hope and parts adjacent.

LOCOMOTIVE BUILDING.—New care and
locomotives are constantly needed because of the
immense amount of business transacted upon the
various Northern railroads in the Government's be
half. Seven hundred men are now employed by
Messrs. Baldwin -& Co., to supply the demands of
various companies. During November nine, first
class locomotives were built by them, this number
being the largest ever built in their manufactory
during one month. South America and _Cuba, as
well as the loyal States, negotiate for them, and
help to increase the supply, which, for some time
past, has averaged eight per month. The Pennsyl
vania, and other railroads in this State, at present
claim a considerable number. Some arc likewise
Jetting ready for the Don Pedro Railroad at Rio
aneiro, and last week two cord-burning locomo
tives, first-class, were shipped to Cienfuegos, Cuba.

THE POLICE.
(Before Mr.. Alderman Boitler.]
Robbery at Bethlehem—lmportant Arrests.
August Klotsmann and Wilhelm Klotsmann, said
to be brothers, were arraigned yesterday afternoon
before Alderman Baffler, at the Central Station,-on
the charge of robbery, perpetrated at the young la
thes' seminary, Bethlehem, Pa. The parties arrived
from Bethlehem on Tuesday, and one of them was
arrested on suspicion, at the corner of Amber and
York streets. having in his possession goods sup
posed to have . been stolen. Wilhelm escaped the of
ficer, but was arrested yesterday morning by Detec
tive 'C. Smith, at the corner of Fourth and Prune
streets, after having been chasedfrom the neighbor
hood of Sixth and Spruce streets. August married
a pretty German girl about fourteen days since, who,
on Tuesday night, hearing of his arrest, came to see
him. It was discovered, finally, that she lived at a ho
tel, on Dock st., between Front and Second. Officers
Levy and C. Smith proceeded there, and recovered a
quantity of clothing, a considerable amount of jew
elry, a watch, some silver spoons, ladles, gold pen
cils, handkerchiefs, silver thimbles, &c., bearing the
private marks of the Bethlehem Seminary. These
goods were brought to the office. She was also ar
rested on the charge of receiving stolen goods. The
following evidence was elicited :
George K. Zeigler sworn. Reside at 339 Coates
street; my daughter has been at the seminary at
Bethlehem four years; this handkerchief has her
name upon it.
.3:ou_ever_see this spoon biforello Silvei
•
spoon shown. . -
"Yes, sir; that spoon was presented to my daugh
ter when she was only two years of age, by Zilrs.,
Bowman."
"How about this_ dress and cloak 1" said Chief
Franklin.
" They also belong to my daughter."
Officer Lake testified as to the arrest of one of the
parties (August); the recovery of some of the goods
stolen at Bethlehem ; also, that the prisoner had on
him a double-barrelled pistol, capped and loaded.
. The constable of Bethlehem testified as to the rob
bery of the seminary.
Eli Lynn, conductor of the North Pennsylvania
Railroad cars, testified that the parties came down
in the train on Monday, having with them quite an
amount of baggage.
Detectives Smith and Levy testified to the re
covery of the articles at house No. 122 Dock street.
The officers said the wife claimed all•the things ex
cept a silver spoon and silver ladle found in her
trunk.
The alderman asked her what she had to say re
specting the two articles exempted.
She did not seem to comprehend him.
"What is your namel" said he.
"Louisa Schweichert," she replied,' spelling it in
English by means of a. volunteer interpreter.
Her story was short and simple. She said that
Wilhelm made her a present of a silver thimble, and
that he put the ladle and spoon in her chest on
Tuesday night; she did not know where he got them.
The scene reminded us of one in the play of "
Vie
torine," recently performed at the Walnut-street
Theatre, the present case being reality the other a
dream.
The two men were handcuffed and taken to Beth
lehem. The wife was detained on the charge of re
ceiving stolen goods. She was sent to the county
prison. •The scene of separation of the newly-mar,
ned couple was somewhat affectin..er Among the
articles found at the house on Dock street was a
head-dress, showy but not of much value, which
the bride said she wore on the night of her marriage,
a couple of weeks since.
. . A Bartender Shoots a WolMan.
Before the same alderman, a white man named
Cornelius Keefe was arraigned on -the charge of as
sault and battery with intent to kill. This affair
happened at the unseasonable hour of half past one
o'clock yesterday morning, in a public house, at the
corner of Seventh and St. Mary streets.. The victim
is a poor miserable colored woman named Lydia
Ann. Robinson. The facts of this case, as de
veloped by the evidence, are as follows : At the
hour above named, a colored man, named Gustavus
'Johnson, entered the place, and complained to
another man, named George Jolly, that a certain
man and woman were talking and drinking together.
Johnson said he was determined to "stop dat," and
pulled out a razor, threatening to kill anybody in the
room. lie was thrust into the street by the bar
tender, but soon returned.
"If you
,don't go out of. here shoot you,"
shouted out the bar-tender.
Johnson defied him. He stood in the middle of
the floor, and throwing open his coat, dared him to
fire. The bar-keeper levelled the pistol, pulled the
trigger, and Lydia Ann Robinson screamed and fell ;
the ball had entered h6r thigh. There were about
twenty of the lower order of the colored population
in the eight-by-ten bar-room at the time. The
wounded woman was taken to the hospital. Keefe
was at once arrested and locked up. Some idea of
the business done at this place may be formed When
we state that the proprietor admitted that he sold
liquor nt a cent or three cents per glass, accordir ' , to
the quality. The bar-tender was committed to
prison.
.
Assaulting Colored People.,
Yesterday afternoon a couple of young men, giving
the names of Henry Nichols and Henry Morgan,
were arraigned before Alderman Ileitler on the
charge of behaving in an exceedingly indecorous
manner in the public streets. The evidence of Mr.
Abraham Goldsmith, an, intelligent German, who
keeps a store on. Market street, who observed the
conduct of the prisoners, thought it his duty to in
terfere and assist the police in arresting them. His
evidence was as follows : "I saw one of the prison
ers assail a negro_ woman on Sixth street, near
•Chetnaut ; she was picking up some pieces of paper
at the time ; he knocked her down and cut her face
badly; the blood flowed freely ; he then ran along
the street and knocked down an old negro man who
was quietly walking along; the prisoner did not go
very far before he knocked down another man • he
was assisted by the other prisoner. I arrested one
of them, and he said the other was death on the
riggers ;''the prisoner then made a dash at a colored
boy who was buying a newspaper at a stand, and
knocked him down ; the police officer ran after him
up one street and down another, and presently he
saw the fugitive turn Sixth and Walnut, where he
' grabbed' an apple from the stand, and the next mo
ment was captured by the police officer." The al
derman asked them what they had to say. Morgan
made no reply. Nichols said he had done nothing
at all. They were committed in default of $l,OOO to
be of future good behavior and to keep the peace.
Violating an Onlinmatoe.
Edward Totten was taken before the same Alder
man, on the charge of violating one of the eity ordi
nances. He permitted his horse and dray to follow
too closely the dray ahead, and thus thepeople were
prevented crossing the street. This occurred at
Eighth and Chestnut streets. , The defendant had
been admonished by the police several times, but not
heeding the advice given, it was considered neces
sary to make an example of him. He was fined:
Discharged.
Charles Wisner whose detention by the police was
mentioned in The , Pres., at the time of his arrest, was
discharged from custody yesterday by Alderman
Heiner at the Central Station.
Assault with a Billy.
William Cook was arraigned yesterday morning,
before Alderman Beitler, on the charge of commit
ting an assault on C. 'Weaver, and striking him on
the head with a billy. It is not very clear as to the
cause of the attack. It seems to have taken place
on last Sunday evening, in the classic region of
"Smoky Hollow," in the eastern part of the First
ward, about half a mile below the navy yard. The
blow was a severe one on the side of the head. A
physician who was called in considered the life of
Weaver to be in danger for a time, but no serious
results are apprehended now.
[Before Mr. Alderman Welding.]
Fined.
Edward Causland was arrested, at Third and Chest
nut streets, and arraigned before Alderman Weld
ing yesterday, on the charge of violating an ordi
nance of the city. He was driving his horse and
wagon so closely behind - another wagon that the
people were compelled to stop at the street crossing.
In a few minutes the sidewalks at the corner became
so crowded that it was impossible to get along...
The defendant caused all this, and being rather la
clined to indifference, he was arrested.
The alderman read the law to the defendant, .to. •
which he replied that he had been driving in Phila.
delphia for six years, and did not know anything
about the municipal act.
" Suppose," said the alderman, "there were a
hundred horses, carts, drays, and wagons in a string
so close together that people could not get through,
what are they to dot"
The witness replied, scratching his head at the
same time, "Why, let the people stand at the corners
until we all get past !"
The alderman rendered judgment for the penalty.
It would be well, perhaps, if the Highway Depart
ment were to furnish the law relative to driving
through the streets. This might be done when the
licenses ate riven out.

THE Rurrtztp I'ILITRWITTORY..MANDA.MIIS
AWAI:DED AV4AINST TUE •DEFIiNDANT COUNCIL-
The interest created by the Duffield mandamus
case was exhibited by a crowded court room yester
day. Lewis C. Cassidy, Esq., presented the return
of the respondents in the writ of mandamus. It is
an embodiment of the ground taken by Mr. Phillips
and Mr. Wharton in their argument on the motion
to quash. They aver the vesting of legislative power
in the Councils of Philadelphia by the Consolidation
act, the requirement as to qualifications of members,
and the power of Councils to judge and determine
thereon. They aver that the relator holds the office
of general superintendent of the clothing department
of the Arsenal at Philadelphia, under appointment
from the Secretary of War, and they charge this fact
as the cause of their action declaring his seat vacant.
They also aver that the matter complained of in
the suggestion filed, in this case took place and was
resolved by the respondents while in the exercise
of their legislative duty, conferred upon them as
Cduncilmen Of the city of Philadelphia by the Con
stitution and-laws of the Commonwealth, and they
are advised and believe and submit to the Court that
they cannot lawfully be questioned in any other place
than a meeting of said. Council in reference to their
said action.
They further aver that they having been informed
by their counsel that this honorable court did, in
its decision of the motion made in their behalf to
. quash the said writ of mandamus, express the
opinion, and did decide that the action of t.lommon
Council, on the 4th inst., in relation to the sub
-ect matter of the relator'a suggestion, was irregu-
Jar and void, because the same was done without
notice .to relator, and giving him an opportunity to,
be. heard, these respondents, desirous of conform
ing, to the decision of the court, and of doing
their whole duty in the. premises, will forthwith
proceed to .rescind the resolution complained of,
and will further proceed to inquire into, judge,
and determine the questions of the alleged disqua
lification of the relator to be a member of said Com
mon Council.'
The return concludes With a prayer to be dis inland
with the reasonable costs.
Upon the conclusion of its reading Mr. Bre,Lvater
moved that judgment be entered for the relator, not
withstanding the facts set out in the answer, and
that a peremptory mandamus issue.
This was opposed by Messrs. Phillips and Whar
ton, for the respondents, on the ground thatjudg
merit could not be entered in the present state of the
pleadings ; that the answer of the respondents
having been presented, issue must ,be taken upon kt
either by demurrer or traverse.
Mr. Gilpin, who closed the argument for the re
lator, contended that neither a demurrer nor a plea
was necessary. The defendant§ 'had first com
menced their answer with a justification, and then
closed it with an admission of their wrongdoing,
and an averment of their intention to do right.
The motion to disallow the return and enter judg
ment, notwithstanding, had the sanction of pre
cedent, and the case of the-Commonwealth ex rel.
Thomas vs. The Commissioners of Allegheny, re
_ported in 8 Casey, was cited as directly in point.
On the conclusion of.his argument Judge Thomp-.
,son stated that the question was a peculiar one.
„Upon the answer of the respondents the relator asks
the court to award a pekempto6 - mandadius, for rea
son of the insufficiency of the return. This, accord
ing to practices was not strictly in form, the unsatis
factory return should be either. demurred or pleaded
to; but the court had determined to pursue, in this
case, precisely the course the Supreme Court did in
Thomas' case, cited in the argument, and which was
identical with the present applicittion. That was
also a motion to disallow the return, and for a per
emptory mandamus,'and the Supreme Court treated
the motion to disallow as a demurrer to the return,
and entered judgment accordingly. That the court
would do herei they would consider the motion to
disallow the return as a demurrer to it, and the
question then presented was whether the facts
averred in it were a sufficient answer to the writ..
It was admitted in the answer that this proceed
ing did take place in the manner complained of, with=
out notice to him,.' in his absence, and Without 'a
hearing having been afforded him. lie was unques
tionably improperly and illegally removed, and it
was no answer to say that facts could be established'
justifying his removal. The party must be restored
to his rights before a justification of the wrong could
be . allowed, and it was the province of the courts to
compel the Performance of that duty. • '
Another ground on which the court should award
the peremptory mandamus was that the answer
amounted to a submission to the action of the court.
They admitted they had acted illegally and impro
perly, and aver their intention to rescind their illegal
resolution. The writ of peremptory mandamus was
therefore allowed. '
When Judge Thomiison had conelUded, Mr. Brew
ster presented a decree he had drawn out, but it
embodied in it a statement that the court had heard
and considered a motion to disallow The return, whereas
counsel for the respondents contended that no such
motion had been made, the motion of Mr. Brewster
being for judgment on the answer and the award of
a peremptory mandamus.
A long and excited discussion ensued, in the course
of which Judge Thompson Informed the counsel for
the respondents that the court had understood the
motion to be a motion to disallow, had so understood
the argument, and had decided it as such.
Mr. Wharton and Mr. Phillips both stated that
they had not so understood. Judge Thompson re
plied
.That if counsel could not und e rated d each other
the court could not pretend.to make them enlighten
them. If they did not understand the motion as the
court understood it, it was not the fault of the
court. •
Mr. Wharton then moved to strike of the motion
to disallow, as the aot of Assembly required that
the answer should be either pleaded or demurred
to. The court refused this,
saying it was too late
after the court had decided the motion.
Mr. Phillips wanted the court to give them leave to
move to strike off the motion to disallow,but the court
refused to permit this to go on the record, unless it
appeared on it that it was not made until after the
decision of the court. The counsel for respondents
would not do this, and so the paper was not tiled,
and the court adjourned.
The Douglass-Mitchell case was still on trial yes
terday in the Supreme Court at Nisi Prius, counsel
having occupied the entire day in summing up. .

•••-m- CITY DRAtONSTRATED ON OVER POUR THOI7-
SLED INVALIDS, AT 1220 WALNUT STREET, PHI-
LADELPHIA.
The object of the following certificates is to show that
cures at Val WALNUT Street are permanent and re
liable. The first cure was performed nearly three years
ago, the second was performed nearly one year ago, the
third about one year, and hundreds more of like cases
might be shown.
READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY.
About twelve months ago had a severe attack of
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
month and throat 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 general system, that a was scarcely
able to move about. I had availed myself of the science
and skill of distinguished medical men, both of the Allo
pathic and Hommopathic school, 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 Professorßolles 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 ; my 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 12M Walnut street, and be restored
to health. 'I shall be glad to give any one information
calling on me. THOMAS HARROP,
Rose Mill, West Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, May Ist, IS S). . .
' Read the following from a preacher of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, ho. 1833 Helmuth street, Philadel
phia:
In attempting a definition of my disease, I can only
give some of the many symptoms which, taken altoge
ther, were the most horrid ; and even medical men did
not know my disease from pathological symptoms. How
ever Professor C. H. Bolles, by whom I was cured, lo
cated my disease In the pelvic viscera, In Eva 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 BOLLES, MO Walnut street, Philadelphia, .1 am
perfectly cured ; and to me this is most astonishing, for I
bad exhausted the catalogue 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
be made; and now I can comprehend, from its powerful
effects on me, for a speedy cure, although no shocks were
given. All was pleasant, and• accomplished as if blt
magic.
I will give most of my symptoms, for the benefit of
suffering humanity. I had dyspepsia, bad inarasmus, or
wasting of the tissues of the whole body ; at times a
difficulty of breathing, some palpitation of the heart,
niuch bronchitis, trembling of the limbs after exercise,
aversion to business and company; at times gloomy, ina
bility to collect my thoughts vigorously on airy 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 drag
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 to 'the
afflicted gall classes. There seems to be no guesswork.
no confusion, no matter of doubt in his treatment. He
proceeds on fixed principles, and according to fixed laws,
which seem to ma infallible and harmonious. He war
rants, by special contract., the most obstinate, chronic
and acute cases, and charges nothing, if he .fails. I ad
vise all of the diseased to try his treatment.

ANOTHER CURE OF. PARALYSIS OF THE LOWER
LIMBS (Paraplegia) AND APOPLEXY COMBINED.
Read the following:
-PRTLADELPERA;Barch 31,1983
PROFESSOR Borxxs, MO Walnut street: The remarka
ble cure which I have derived from 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 yearsago.
while a resident of Cincinnati, Ohio, I was visited with
an 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, but received no appa
rent benefit, and after a lapse of about eighteen months
was taken with a spasm, which one of my physicians
pronounced a fit of apoplexy. Two weeks elapsed from
that time before I became 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 under your
valuable treatment. After my arrival in Philadelphia
my attention was called to your treatment by a pamphlet
banded me by my father, which contained the names of
some gentlemen whom I had been formerly 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 four treat
ments, and I now feel perfectly satisfied that I am re
stored to a sound condition, and. thefore feel it my'duty
to gratefully acknowledge the benefits which I have re
ceived through your treatment.
Very respectfully yours, &c.,
WILLIAM H. SHAIN,
Publisher of the National Merchant, office 126 South
SECOND Street, Philadelphia. 'llO.
N.' B.—lt will be well for the diseased to recollect that
Prof. B. has given a word of caution in his pamphlet to
Cthem against trusting their health in the hands of
trs in this city claiming to treat diseases according to.
his discovery. Thie caution may seem severe on those
using Electricity at hAzard, but it is the severity of truth.
and designed for the good of humanity. See advertise
