A MERRY, MERRY CHRISTMAS.—This is
One of the sayings which ars4ever old and ever new.
It is resonant and resounding with the very spring
tide of gaiety: Each succeeding season makes the
old young again, and the young feel as though they
were growing, very old indeed. It is the time to
put on airs. It is the time when youngsters expect
presients from dear old uncles and from dear old.
aunts. It is the time when fresh boys of sixteen
and darling bits of girls a year or two younger
throw all their lives and souls into the spirit of the
hour. Christmas is the carni val of the season. Christ
mail holidays are the choicest holidays of the year.
Christmas memories and mementoes are endeared
by,the joyousness of sweet lang syne. The wind
without, whose only mission seems to be to freeze
anybody who is not yet frozen; the warm tempera
ture within, (a grate-fire, of course,) which the soft
flames tint find permeate - with a Crimson hue and
glow, are exceedingly gratifying to the senses.
What more delightful than to wake in the morn
ing, to feel one's self free from the care of
busiriesisl to eat one's breakfast without the
anticipation of a twelve-hours' turmoil, without
`the fear of paying a delit or of collecting one ?
What so purely and generously pleasant - as to make •
young folks jump and laugh with the presentation
of just the things they wanted? What so delicately
delightful, with hjust a tincture of sensuous sweetness,
as to gaze upon the scarlet brightness of laughing
lips? Then, after eating dinner—a - Christmas din
ner—a. dinner of roast beef and plum - pudding—a
dinner of roast turkey and mines pies --how enjoya
tlle . the nuts, and wine 'which follow it? Don't
grandfathers and grandmothers, fathers and mothers,
Uncles and aunts, youngbachelors and old bachelors
love to see the young girls and the young boys witit
their arnitin:the. dance around each other's waists,.
and their lips and cheeks in the Copenhagen ; in.
blushing, blooming, contact?
The Yule Log, in olden times, was burnt on
Christmas eve; Christmas day, in the - primitive
church, was always observed as Sabbath day, and,.
like that, was preceded by an eve or vigil. Christ
mas candles were lighted, and the Yule Clog, a log
of an enormous size., was placed -upon the fire, and
illtiminatcd the hoium: •A:blOck of the birch
tree was .used for this purpose, and completely
stripped of its bark aml dried, .and gave rise
to the proverb, "He's as bare as the birch of
a Yule E'en." In some parts of England, the
singing of enrols is still called hoydening. This
was the name first.. applied to its celebration
by persons who conducted it grotesquely habited,
and used handbills and gay songs to give brilliancy
to their proceedings. All that is known of the word
Yule is that it means Christmas. Christmas carols
and Christmas boxes are words prolific in meaning to
inhabitants of both sides .of thewater. The Lord
of Itifisrule, the Foot Plough, and the Sword Dance';
the Ever-Green Decking, the - Yule-Deughs, Mince-
Pies, and Plum-porridge, were ,pebuliar to the old
country, and, in-sonic parts, are peculiar still.
In this' country 'and in this eity,Christratis, like
New Year, Easter, Thanksgiving, Halloween, St.-
Valentine's, Fourth of July, Washington's Birth
day, etc., is a day of universal commemoration,
Its celebration will. never die out. Whilst lads and
bows are sweet and natural and beautiful in the.
soft blossom of their tender years ; whilst fathers and
mothers, and denr old aunts and uncles, are loving,
and generous ; whilst old Kris Kringle continues to
grow younger as he grows older, his birthday will be
remembered, and its dawning greeted with obstrepe
rous acclamations by the millions who await it. Let
the crusty few w ho
, doubt his muni fi cence the present
year take a ' single walk through Chestnut street.
The innumerable toys, the new and wondrous inven
tions, the dolls dressed in gold and crimson, and the
horses which ride of themselves, are enough to con
vince the most incredulous that Kris Kringle would
no snore willingly forget his young friends than he
would forget the undertaker who is to hammer the
nails into his coffin..
CHRISTMAS DINNERS FOR THE SOLDIERS.
—There is a great stir throughout the country to
gladden the hearts of our soldiers, by giving them,
wherever opportunity aline, good Christmas din
ners. In this city the army hospitals will be espe
cially attended to. We are requested to say that
donations in. money, cakes, pies, vegetables, &c.,
will be gratefully received by the following per
sons:
To furnish a Christmas dinner to the wounded
soldiers in the West Philadelphia hospital, by W.
E. Harris, No. 227 Arch street; Samuel Field,
northweet corner of Walnut and Front streets ; H. 0.
Townsend, No. 811 Arch street. Ditto for the
soldiers in the convalescent camps near Washington,
D. C. by John M. Wolff, southeast corner of
Twelfth and Locust streets, up to noon on Wedner
,day next. The matrons of the Christian-street Hos
pital wish to inform their friends and the soldiers'
friends, that they are in need of poultry, dried cur
pints, raisins,
and other delicacies, for the Christmas
Ntlinner which they purpose giving to the men under
their care. The lady visitors of the Turner's-lane
United States Military Hospital are desirous of
giving the sick and wounded soldiers a suitable din
ner on Christmas day : and therefore appeal to our
citizens for any contributions of turkeys, chickens,
hams, cranberries, pies, doughnuts, &c., to assist
them in doing so. The contributions can be left
with Mrs Wilhelm; 919 Race street; H. J. Smith,
816 Market street, and Mrs. Hubbard, 1901 Vine
street, who will have them properly forwarded A
correspondent, writing in behalf of the Wood-street
Hospital, says the public should bear in mind that
while they send thousands to Washington, for those
hospitals, and thousands to England, for the suffer
ing poor, not to forget the large number of sick and
wounded in our own city. This is indeed useful ad
vice: and we hope will he heeded. In fact, alithe
soldiers, at every hospital in the city, will receive a
feast, equal at least to that given them on Thanks
giving day.
NEWS PROM THE NAVY YARD.—Yester
day, in order to prevent its injury by floating ice, the
sectional dock at the navy yard was to be floated
into the stone basin. This was postponed, however,
on reception of tile news that; the Juniata was about
to return from the Capes, because of breakage of the'
machinery, and that she would probably have to be
taken on the dock. The steamer Juniata will doubt
less De detained here for several weeks, should her
bed-plate, as it is rumored, be broken.
Tile sloop•of-war Monongahela has had her engine
put under trial for the past few days. The trial is
said to have answered satisfactorily, and the steamer
will •be ready in a fortnight or ten days, as she is at
present receiving her stores. Of coal she has already
received three hundred and fifty tons, although fifty
additional are her complement.
The Pawnee, which has never yet gone out of com
mission, engages a large number of workmen, but,
for want of machinists, is now delayed. The Govern-
Ment has ordered the fitting out of the side-wheel
steamer De Soto at the earliest moment, as'the work
on her is iniikitig fast progress. '
In a few' days the gunboats Ladona and Hendrick
'Hudson will go into commission. Commander Cal
houn has reported for the Ladona, and both have
most of their stores and armament.
It seems that some of the timber received at the
navy yard for the iron-clad TonaWanda will be re
jected on account of not quite coming up to the
mark in quality, since no timber is used in construts•
lion except the very best. A still further increase
of force is to take place upon this vessel, and it has
been already augmented within a few days.
The keel of the Tonawanda is entirely laid. The
stern-post and the parts adjoining are in position ;
and the timbers are very heavy with v. - hich she is
being constructed. It is probable she will not be
launched before the spring. • • '
Vessels in the stream will be supplied with water
by a water boat whose keel has just been laid in the
Navy Yard. In three weeks the side-wheel steamer
Tacony will be ready to be launched.
The De Soto, Pat roon, Shenandoah, Young'_Rover,
and frigate Princeton, are also at the Navy Yard.'
SICK 'MCI)Woia • :,DE.D.—RelleWed. efforts
are being made, we are glad to say, to have our sick
and wounded *moved to within our own borders,
our own Government having been earnestly recom
mended to consider the benefits to be derived from
such a course. Those of our friends and relatives
Who have marched forth to defend the sacred pre
cincts of home, long no less eagerly for the fireside
than those whom they have left behind long to ad
minister to the sick and wounded, the distressed and
dying. The original strength of our armies would
probably be reanimated and reinspirited by a visit,
however short, of the brave wounded to their dearly
loved firesides; the hearts of the nation would be
made happy by the beaming smiles and falling tears
and clinging kisses of those whom they cherish.
Patriotism evinces itself 'as much in the relief of the
suffering as in the sending forth of the strong to
battle. The tender nourishments of home do more
for the bleeding ft nuke and the blood-dropping heart
than all the tenderness of strange nurses. The nu
merous kindnesses and self-devotion evident in our
hospitals are incalculable in their charitable worth ;
but the kindness and the worth of home are much
sweeter and dearer. The beautiful familiarity of
the features of those we love become, still more
beautiful viewed in the hour of pain and glorified
With their expressions of sympathy. The people
seem moving in this matter, and, if their wish is ac
complished, unnumbered homes and hearts will be
gladdened by the opportunity of welcoming their
dear ones.

The facts of the case as developed'at the hearing are,
that the occupant of house N 0.4 Price's courtrrun
ning south from Lombard streeiLalxive Third, - is an
industrious colored man, named Horace Hopper. en. -
Friday evening Conway called there, and asked
,per
mission to remain all-night. .Tills was granted. l'he
room he slept in was, recently occupied by a sailor
who left his trunk theie; It was packed with. good
clothing. About five o , Clock, on Saturday morning,
an unusual noise was heard in the-house by a board
er, named Stephenson, who says he heard something
outside go "squash." He awakened Mr. Holiper,
'who immediataly.aicended the stairs, where he met
Conway Coming down. The following etolloqby took

Mr. Hopper and Stepbenson caught hold of Con

run.
"Police, police, police," • was shouted, and the
echoing sounds thereof.brought with it officer Elliott,
who started in fullpurauit of thefugitive, and caught
him. • The clothing he had thrown from the window
was found in a push cart standing in the court. The
noise made by it in falling is,what attracted the at
tention of Stephenson; who Jexpreased it as going

The worthy magistrate . asked ,the defendant if he
had any questions to ask,.to which he replied, " No,
sah, I only did it for a kind oh joke."
To which the dispenser . of magisterial law replied,
" find it no Joke Oben the day oftrial comes.
You must enter $1,600 hail, and -stand 'committed

seat. • ,
Outrageous Scene at 14 tw o in the morning.
Before the same alderman, there were arraigned
two young men, named James Dowd and James
Collins, on the charge of assault and battery with
intent to kill. The "evidence, so far as developed,
authorizes the drawing of the following- picture:
Julia Stewart, with a bundle, and Eugene Harris; a
couple of hardworking colored folks, had just got
through their work at a restaurant at Sixth and
Chestnut streets. It was two o'clock in the morn
ing. Julia was walking some distance ahead of
Eugene, and just as she emerged beyond the
line of houses at the corner of Walnut street
and Sixth, a gang of six or eight young men,
who were passing down Walnut, made an attack
upon her, and tried to take the bundle. In her evi
dence, stie said that she held on to the bundle with
a "dead mans grip." One of the gang knocked her
down. All this was the work of a moment. Eugene
came up, and, as he was crying for the police, one of
the party knocked him down,
and another one cut
him with knife, inflicting a terrible gash over his
right eye. The neighborhood rang with the cry of
murder! murder! and, as the assailants were fleeing,
two of them, as already named, were captured by the
police. They were committed,
Discharged.
•
The alleged wife of one of the men arrested for
robbing the Female Seminary at Bethlehem was
heard finally on Saturday afternoon. It being almost
an impossibility to obtain the attendance •of wit
nesses, the defendant was discharged. There was
nothing else for the alderman to do, under the cir
cumstances, although a number of articles of jew
elry, which she claimed as her own, were identified
at Bethlehem as the property of the ladies of the
seminary at that place.
Pocket Picked.
• Information was left at the Central Station on
Saturday evening by Mr. Herbert, a farmer of New
Jersey, that, while riding in one of the passenger
cars, on the Market-street road, his pocket was
picked of a book containing $3O. He had entered
the restaurant in the basement of the Western Mar
ket House and called for some refreshments. On
feeling for his book, to pay the amount of his bill, be
ascertained that he had been robbed. He recollected
that as he was getting off the car, at Sixteenth street,
he was pretty well crowded by three young men
standing on the platform. It is probable that at this
moment his book was taken. Crowded platforms
are as dangerous to pockets as they are to life or
limb.

A Landlord Gets his Nose Pulled—A Soldier
Gees Stabbed.
' Last evening, a ease of nosetpulling and satbbing
was heard before Alderman Dougherty, at the Sixth
ward station-house. A number of witnesses were
exam ined,irom whose evidence we present the follow
ing brief narrative of the tragic events attending the
scene. Yesterday afternoon a number of convales
cent soldiers, from several of the military hospi
tals, were at the lager-beer saloon of Mr. John
Schoneberger, on Cherry street, above 'Fourth. They
bad drank together several times, and finally some
difficulty. ensued respecting • pay for the drinks.
Angry words prevailed, and presently one of the
soldiers caught the landlord by the nose and gave
that organ a pretty hard twist. The landlord, it is
alleged, immediately seized a bung-briver, and
struck Patrick Cutter, of Hawkins' New York Zou
ayes, over the head with it, almost severe enough
-to fracture his skull. At the same time, a rush was
made for a knife or other sharp instrument. The
landlord succeeded in getting it, and made a
desperate up-and-down blow at the siddier whom
he had already struck on the head. The blade of the
weapon entered the soldier's shoulder,. to the depth
of About two inches, making a severe wound, though
not necessarily mortal. Considerable excitement
prevailed in consequence, and the police were spee
dily in attendance. The ' landlord and soldier were
taken to the station house, and a physician was
called In to attend the latter. After the hearing, the
magistrate required Mr. Schoneberger to enter bail
in the sum of $l,OOO to answer the charge of assault
and battery with intent to kill. The landlord then
preferred the charge of assault and battery against
the soldier above named, and the latter was held in
the sum of $7OO to await a hearing this morning.
LEGAL. INTELLIGENCE.
Enlistment, of Minors without Conscut of
Parents.
COYMONWEALTH DX TOM BRYSON VS. CURTER.-
This was a habeas corpus to secure the discharge of
a volunteer hi Captain Carter's company, Colonel
Gray's regiment. The ground alleged was, that the
volunteer was under twenty-one years at the time
he enlisted. The evidence showed that he was a few
days under twenty-one, and that his father did not
consent to his enlistment. •
Mr... Ashton, assistant 'United States district attor
ney, resisted the discharge on the ground that the
act of Congress of February 9, 1862, authorized en
listments over eighteen and under twenty-one years:
The question was fully and ably argued by Mr.
.Ashton, for the Government, and by Daniel Dough
erty, Esq., for the relator, on last Saturday week,
and on Saturday udge Ludlow delivered the follow
in- opinion•
Is Commonwealth ex rel. Bryson vs. Carter, Habeas
Corpus. Under the decision heretofore made by
this court (Commonwealth vs. Beatty, Leg. Int.,
Oct. 4, 1861), we have prior to the passage of act of
Congress of February, 1862, uniformly decided to
discharge minors under twenty-one years of age
who hiid enlisted in the army of the United States
without the consent of parents and guardians,
where the application has been made by such parents
or guardians. We are now called upon to determine
whether the act of February, 1862, has 'repealed
the foi mer law. and upon the solution of this clues
lien depends the decision to be made in this and
similar cases.
The act of February, 1862, repeals the fifth section
of the act of March 3d; 1880, and also declares in a
proviso that no enlistment shall be valid if made by
a minor under the age of eighteen years,' the section
eapressly repealed provided that -the Secretary of
War should have power. "to. discharge anypohlier
of the army of the United States who at the time of
his enlistment was under the age of 21 years, upon
evidence being produced to him that such enlistment
was without the consent of his parent or guar
dian." It is argued that, the proviso which
declares enlistments made by minors under eigh
teen years of age absolutely null and void, repeals,
by implication, any act of Congress which required
the consent of parents and guardians to he obtained.
, Admitting the contract of enlistment to be a bene
ficial one, and that no positive law of Congress pro
hibits the enlistment of minors between eighteen and
twenty-one, we, nevertheless, think too much force
has been given to The language of this proviso;
Congress has heretofore declared, in various
acts,• that enlistments of minors between cer
tain specified ages should not be made
without the consent of parents or_ guardians,'
and, although the law was at one time in this
respect modified, yet the general policy of the
Government seems to have been (especially since
the act of 1813, which we have determined has not
been heretofore repealed,) to place minors in a mea
sure, at least under the control of parents or guanli
ans. The proviso contained in the act of 1862 seems in
nowise to have changed this policy, butrather to have
extended it, to meet the exigencies of the times;
hence, by virtue of this proviso, no infant of tender
years shall, either with or without the consent of his
Sparent or guardian, enlist in the army of the United
tates. Our own experience in this court has taught
us the wisdom of this provision.
If we keep in view this theory in relation to the
oltject of the lawgiver in appending to this act this
proviso, and then read the whole law, we, will, we
th hilt, arrive at a satisfactory Interpretation of the
entire act.
The Secretary of War, by the existing law, had
power to discharge minors. This power was exeW
used by. that officer, and, it must also be remem
bered, by the Courts. The unfortunate condition - of
the country rendered it . exceedingly difficult for the
Secretary of War to exercise this quasi judicial
power in a satisfactory manner. To relieve him,
therefore, Congress destroys his power. In doing
so, however, it wits deemed advisable, also, to de
clare that infants under 18 should not enlist in the
army of the - United States, and that no power should
hereafter be given to any tribunal to declare such en
listments valid. -.While, therefore, the power of the
Secretary of War is destroyed in the body of the
law, the proviso limits the ;Sower of the courts ; the
Secretary of War is relieved from the discharge of
a most onerous duty, and the courts are hereafter
to declare contracts of enlistments made by minors
tinder eighteen years of age, either with or without
the consent of parents or guardians, to be null and
void.
With this view of the true meaning of this act oE
Congress we must declare that it does not repeal
any existing lam.

A YE
PE SARSAPARILLA IS A CON .
' ceutrated extraeinf Para Sarsaparilla, so combined
with other substances of still greater alterative power
as to afford au effective antidote for diseases Sarsaparilla
is reputed to cure. Such a remedy is surely wanted by
those who sutler from Strumons complaints, ;mil that
one which will accomplish their cure must prove of Im
mense service to this large class of our afflicted
fellow
citizens. How completely this compound will do it has
been proven by experiment on many of the worst cases
to be found in the following complaints:
SCROFULA AND SCROFULOUS GOMPLAINTS; ERUPTIONS
AND ERUPTIVE DISEASES', ULCRRS, PIMPLRS, BLOTCHES,
TI7MORS, SALT. RHEUM, SCALD HEAD, SYPHILIS AND SY
PHILITIC iIiFFECTIONS,AIERCURIAL DISEASE, DROPSY,
FI:ITRALOIA OR TIC DOT.OREUN, DEBILITY, DrsPEPSIA
AND IN - INGESTION, ERTiGPELAS, BOSE OR Sr. ANTHONY'S
FIRE, and indeed the whole class of complaints arising
from IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD:
This compound will be found a great promoter •of
health when taken in the spring to expel the foul hu
mors which fester in the blood at that season of the year.
Ey the timely expulsion of them many rankling disor
ders are nipped In the bud. Multitudes can, by the aid
of this remedy, snare themselves from the endurance of
foul eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the
system will strive to rid itself of corruptions. if not as-
Fasted to do this through the natural channels of the
body by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitia
ted blood whenever you find its impurities bursting
through the skin in pimples, eruptions, or sores ; cleanse
it when you find it is obstructed and sluggish in the
veins; cleanse it whenever it is foul, and your feelings
will tell you when. Even where no particular disorder
is felt, people enjoy better health, and live longer, for
cleansing the blood. Keep the blood healthy, and all is
p ell ; but with the pabulum of life disordered, there can
be no lasting health. Sooner or later something mast go
wrong, and the great machinery of life is disordered or
overtinnwn,
During late years the Public have been misled by large
bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of. Sarsa..
parilla for one dollar. Most of these have been frauds
upon the sick, for they not only contain little, if any,
Sarsaparilla, but often no curative properties whatever.
Hence, bitter and painful disappointment has followed
the use of the various extracts of Sarsaparilla which
flood the market, until the name itself is justly despised,
and has become synonymous with imposition and cheat.
Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla; and intend to
supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name from the
load of obloquy which rests upon it. And we think we
have ground for believing it has virtues which are irre
sistible by the ordinary run of the diaeases it is intended
to cure.

HEALING: POWERS • OF ELECTRI
CITY DEMONSTRATED ON OVER POUR. THOU
SAND INVALIDS, AT I=l WALNUT STREET, PHI
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 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 I 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
mouth 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 .1 was scarcely
able to'rnove about. I had availed myself of the science
and skill of distinguished. medical 'men, both of the Allo
pathic and Homceopathic school,..and exhausted their
catalogue of remedies, but founfleonly temporary relief
In this condition, when every ray of hope seemed pain
lyzed, I heard of the.discovery of 'Professor Bolles in the
use of Electricity, and the wonders he was performing in
curing disease, and phiced 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 id 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 1at,1860.
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 only
give some of the many symptoms which, taken altoge
ther, were the most horrid ; and even medical men did
not know nix disease from pathological symptoms. How
ever, Professor C. H. Bolles, by whom I was cured, lo
cated my disease iu the pelvic viscera, 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 Bort.ss,. 1220 Walnut street. Philadelphia, I am
,perfectly cured ; and to me this is most astmushing, for I
had exhausted the catalogue of old-school remedies, and
grew worse all the time.
I had long believed thatin 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 by
magic.
I will give most Of my symptoms, for the
.benelit 'of
suffering humanity. I had dyspepsia, bad marasinus, or
waiting, of the tissues of the whole body. at times a
difficulty of breathing s some palpitation of the heart,
much bronchitis, trembling 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 drag
ging pains in the lumbar region, and severe nervous diz
ziness.
I believe it is my duty, as a lover of humanity, to r&
commend this discovery of Professor BOLLES to Ithe
afflicted of all classes. There seems to be uo guesswork,,
no confusion, no matter of doubt in his treatment. He
proceeds on fixed principles; and accenting to fixed laws,
which seem to me 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 the diseased to try his treatment.

ANOTHER CURE OF PARALYSIS OF THE LOWER
LIMBS (Paraplegia) AND APOPLEXY COMBINED.
Read the following: .
- • Plin,iiimpnta, March 31, 1562.
PROFESSOR BOLLES, /M.) WWI nut street : The remarks.;
ble cure which I have derived from your method of ap
plying Electricity compels me to thee 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
an attack of paralysis of the lower extremities, which
rendered me .almost entirely' unable to stand upon my
-limbs.. I' employed seine 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 mouths
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 yonr treatment by a pamphlet
handed 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 . 'l imme
diately made unfany 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 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, Sm.,
WILLIAM H. SIIAIN,
Publisher of the National Merchant, office South
SECOND Street, Philadelphia.
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 itgainst trusting their health in the hands of
those in this city claiming to treat diseases according to
his discovery. This caution may seem severe on those
using Electricity at h.vard, but Wis the severity of truth,
and designed for the good of humanity. • See advertise
