CITY 'IMPROVEMENTS. From •Gray's
Ferry bridge, along the Schuylkill river to Columbia
bridge, a distance of Jive and a half miles, stretches
a belt of sterile, unimproved, waste land, which,
from time immemorial, has impoverished its owners
by failing to yield sufficient income to pay the taxes
and interest on its value, and its possession has con
sequently entailed on its possessor a constantly-aug
menting debt. This belt of land, owing to the low
ness of its situation, and its proximity to the river,
has never been required for building purposes, for
which more elevated ground has been preferred ;
while, owing to its inaccessible position, no use has
been made of it for manufacturing purposes, for
which, in other respects, it is admirably adapted.
There is now, in course of construction, to be com
pleted about next midsummer, a line of railroad,
which will extend from Columbia bridge, over the
Schuylkill, to Gray's Ferry. The line will run from
Columbia bridge to Thirty-fifth street, near which it
will join the Pennsylvania Rrilroad to an intersec
tion north of Market street, and thence, by a tunnel,
pass under Market, Mansion, and Chestnut streets,
thence to Gray's Ferry. The whole line, nearly six
miles long, on the west bank of the Schuylkill, oc
cupies a district so much unimproved that it passes
through o* four structures of any kind, one of
which is a'petroleum refinery, whose existence is a
nuisance, and the remaining three are mere hovels,
which disfigure the locality in which they are situ
ated.
The establishment of the Junction Railroad will
provide this belt of land with a direct communica
tion with all the lines of trade and travel North,
South, East, and West, and will thereby remove the
only obstacle which has hitherto prevented its im
provement and neutralized its natural advantages.
When the Junction Railroad is completed, the,
trains on the Baltimore Railroad will cross the.
Schuylkill over the new Pennsylvania Railroad
bridge • the tracks on Washington avenue, between
Twentieth street and Gray's Ferry, will be removed,
to the benefit of property-holders in that locality,
and Gray's Ferry bridge will be surrendered to the
city for the exclusive use of ordinary travel, and
greatly to the advantage of 14est Philadelphia. The
capacity of the bridge for ordinary travel will be
doubled, and the passage of the bridge will be exempt
from the danger, annoyance, and delays attendant
upon it in consequence of the frequent transit of
passenger and freight trains,
Another very decided advantage will be, that the
new railroad, on the west of the Schuylkill, will en
tirely supersede the use of the Broad-street railway
now being constructed, to which so much objection
has been made, for it will be cheaper and better .for
the great companies interested in this junction to run
entire trains by steam power around, or on the out
skirts of the city, than through a populous thorough
fare. Cars, either in trains or singly, can then pass
directly from one railroad to another, and deliver or
receive freight at the factory, warehouse, or depot.
At present burden cars are drawn by animal
power through Market and Broad streets, and the
obstruction of these thoroughfares by the continuous
transit of coal, lime, and freight cars, is a serious
detriment to these streets, which the founder of the
city, with a wise forecast, designed to be the prin
cipal avenues of trade, travel, and habitation. The
discontinuance of the freight railways, which en
cumber these streets, would be followed by the re
moval therefrom of coal, lime, and lumber yards,
warehouses and factories, to more appropriate lo
calities, and their sites would be occupied by private
residences and public edifices. The abolishment of
the freight railway en Broad street would likewise
enhance the value of the immense tract of unim
proved land south of Washington avenue, and give
such an impetus to improvements in that direction
as to add millions of dollars to the taxable wealth
of the city.
The 'comfort of the - residents on these streets
would be augmented by the absence of noise, dust,
and obstructions to travel, with which they are now
annoyed, in consequence of the passage of burden
cars in f'ront of their dwellings, and Rroad street
would realize the anticipations of its projector, and
become a spacious boulevard, contributing to the
comfort and convenience of the citizens and the
beauty and grandeur of the city.
THE BROAD-STREET RAILROAD.—The
following preamble and resolutions, in reference to
the construction of the Broad-street Railroad, were
adopted yesterday at a meeting of the Corn Ex
change Association :
Whereas,The Camden and Amboy and Philadelphia
and Trenton Railroad Companies, and the Philadel
phia and Baltimore and Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Companies, are now constructing upon one of the
highways of the city of Philadelphia, (under cover
of a charter granted by our Legislature for a pas
senger railway, to be called the " Navy Yard, Broad
street and Fairmount Passenger Railway Com
pany,;') a railroad to accommodate through passen
gers and freight, and by which the same may be
conveyed through our city, north or south, without
change of cars; and
Whereas, The completion of such a road, making
Philadelphia a mere way-station in the great
thoroughfares of which New York will become the
Northern and Eastern termini, must prove inimi
cal to, and seriously prejudice and disarrange the
business interests of Philadelphia, by diverting trade
therefrom;
And whereas, The building of such a road, with its
connections, has been decided by a competent court
of justiceto be illegal and in direct violation of the
chartered privileges of the Navy Yard, Broad-street,
and Fairmount Pa.ssenger Railway Company : there
fore,Rolved, That the building of the proposed rail
road on Broad street, from the depot of the Balti
more Railroad, at Broad and Prime streets, con
necting with the depot of the New York Railroad,
at Front and Harrison streets, is prejudicial to the
business interests and welfare of our city, and is not
required for the convenience of our citizens, but is
believed to be the forertinner of the use of steam as
a moth e power for the more rapid conveyance of
freight and passengers through our city to its detri
ment, and for the Immediate benefit of foreign cities
and corporations.
Resolved, That in the privilege of the junction road
now building on the western side of the Schuylkill
river, for the combined benefit of the several rail
roads diverging from this city, and the close connec
tion by the use of the Washington-street Railroad,
between the Camden and Amboy, and the Philadel
phia and Baltimore Railroad Companies and the
facilities afforded lh.rough passengers and their baggage
in their rapid conveyance through our city from the
Baltimore to the New York depot, and eke versa, via
the Thirteenth and Fifteenth, the Richmond and
Schuylkill, and the Fifth and Sixth-streets Passen
ger Railways ; that the New York and Baltimore
Railroad Companies already have all the facilities
extended them that should be required, and more
than have been extended to Mem,• or- like cor
porations in any otheriiity in the Union, or is
compatible with the interests of Philadelphia;
and that the building of the proposed railroad on
Broad street Is contrary to the desires of our citi
zens, and a high-handed and outrageous usurpation
of their rights.
Resolved, That in the judgment of the Corn Ex
change Association it is the duty of our City Coun
cils, the State Legislature, and all officers of the
Commonwealth, who have authority . and jurisdic
tion in the premises, to prevent, by such action on
their part as will meet the exigencies of the case, so
gross and flagrant a violation of the rights and itn
munities of our citizens.
The Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore
Railroad Company, who are in terestedparties in the
construction of the Broad-street Railroad, have the
following in reference to in their annual report,
submitted to the stockholders at 'Wilmington, yes
terday :
"A railroad is now being laid between our station
on Broad and Prime streets and the Philadelphia and
Trenton station at Kensington. When this track is
completed, the same cars can traverse the entire •
ionic between New York and Washington, and
thus many of the discomforts now incident to the
route will be done away with. During a part of the
year now past the cars, in one train a day, have
been run through by means of a ferry-boat on the
Delaware river, but this has been found tedious and
unsatisfactory, owing to the imperfect adaptation of
the boat to the business to be done. It has not
been found expedient or possible to obtain a new
boat, fitted for summer and winter service, in season
to answer the immediate demands of the public, and
therefore the Broad-strect route has been resorted to
as the most expeditious means of furnishing tempo
rarily the accommodation of a speedy transfer
through the city of Philadelphia without a change
of cars. This change of ears at unseasonable hours
and in inclement weather has long been a serious ob
jection to our route."
RAILROAD REPORTS.—MOst of the rail
roads diverg : ing from Philadelphia held their annual

PITTSBURG TS. PILILADELPIIIA, AND TUB
PEminxvAliTA RAlLnoAn.—The recent meeting - at
the office of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
between the committees of the Board of Trade of
Pittsburg, arid the Board of Trade of the Corn Ex
change Association of this city, has caused, it 18
said, much satisfaction to all concerned. The Pitts
burgers insist that it is no less for the benefit of the
road thanfor their own benefit, that Philadelphia
and Pittsburg should be regarded as the termini of
the Pennsylvania Central Railroad. Yesterday the
Corn Exchange Committee. adopted an address to
the railroad company, setting forth their views in
reference to the claims of Pittsburg, in the follow
ing.propositions
I I rat. That the arbitrary rates of freight now. fixed
by law between Pittsburg and Philadelphia should
be abolished, end the same freedom from useless re
strictions should be granted by the State to the road,
which other roads in other States enjoy, and that the
abolition of such restrictions is a necessarry prelimi
nary to the equalization of the various interests
using the road.
Second. Believing that the interests of the Penn
sylvania Railroad and of our own city are identical,
and that the road is fully aware of the value of the
Ohio river as her great tributary, and will, therefore,
constantly seek to blend the interests of the river
with those of her rail connections, rising both to
swell her own trade and that of this city, we must
decline, in the present stage of our information on
this sullied, to interfere with the policy of the road
in her Western connections.
Third., We ask that the discrimination in favor of
Pittsburg millers against those of Philadelphia,
which now exists by reason of a provision in the
law repealing the tonnage tax, be discontinued if
practicable, under the reading of that law. If not
practicable, it furnishes an additional argument for
the abolition of useless legal restrictions upon the
Fourth. We ask that the Agents of the road shall
be prohibited from showing preferences to any of
the customers of the road, and that if such pre
ferences be inseparable from the character of the
agencies, that such agencies shall then be entirely
abolished.
Fifth. We concur with our Pittsburg friends, in
asking that a sufficient number of cars shall he
placed at their disposal, and that a suitable ex
ecutive officer shall be appointed at Pittsburg to
arrange •such matters of difference as must neces
sarily arise in the transactions of parties with the
road.
This report was not adopted. The following
resolutions were approved:
Resolved, That the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany be respectfully requested to adopt uniform
freight charges from all shipping points on the line
as well as termini of said road.
Resolved, That the present discriminating system
in favor of Pittsburg millers (or any other discrimi
nations, , if they exist) should be immediately
abolished, as they afford to favored parties advan
tages detrimental to the communities of both cities,(
and exceedingly so to the manufacturers of flour
in the eastern section of this State. •
Resolved, That the rate of freight between Pitts
burg and Philadelphia should never exceed the fair
proportion of any rate which shall at any time pre
vail between points west of Pittsburg and east of
Philadelphia.
Resolved, That any measures adopted by the Rail-
road Company to deprive shippers of the benefit of
low freights, which may . at times prevail on the
Ohio river, are highly it to the interests of
both Pittsburg and Philadelphia.

LEGAL INTELLIGENCE_
Supreme Conrt of Pennsylvania—Chief J mi
nce Lowrie and Justices Thompson and
Strong.
Opinions in the following cases were delivered
yesterday : •
Scott et al. vs. City of Philadelphia. From Com
mon Pleas of Philadelphia. Opinion by Strong, J.
We concur in opinion with the Court of Common
Pleas that the act of May 1, 1861, was prospective
only, and was intended to introduce a new system of
provlding for the eipensea of culverts thereafter
built. It took away irom the city power to levy a
tax or charge for constructing culverts upon the pro
perty fronting_ on the street eulverted, but did not
annul what had been done in the exercise of powers
previously - possessed, nor take away the right to
collect a tax or charge already levied or made.
It did not undertake to abolish the writ of seire
faCiftS upon any claim tiled, or to interfere with any
remedy for the collection of a tax lawfully levied.
The collection of a. tax and its levy are distinct
things, find the distinction betweerfthem is well re
cognized in our statutes. A seire 'helm upon a
claim filed is but a mode of collection. it is no part
of the levy. In this case the culvert had been built,
the lot had become liable to the expense of the con
struction to the extent of seventy-five cents for each
linear.foot of frontage, the amount of the chargehad
been ascertained, and a claim for it had been filed in
the Court of Common Pleas before the act of 1801
was passed. The tax or charge had then been levied,
And nothing remained but its collection. The duty
of the owner of the lot to pay was complete. No
thing but a default rendered a resort to a scire
facias necessary, a default which the act of As
sembly punished by an additional imposition of five
per cent. The levy was therefore perfect, and the
right of the city to the amount had become vested.
Indeed, it may well be said that the city would never
have incurred the expense of the culvert had they
not possessed the power to charge the adjacent lots.
Whether the Legislature could have interfered to
pi event the collection of the charge need not be con
sidered, for they have not done so. They have not
attempted to take away any remedy for the enforce
ment of rights previously obtained under authority
of law. The right to the tax was perfect, and the
remedy for non-payment was left untouched.
The other objection to the judgment on the case
stated, is answered by the remark that the city was
to judge what culverts were necessary or beneficial,
and nothing in any act of Assembly restrained the
Power to levy a tax for culverts in streets where a
culvert had already been constructed.
The judgment is affirmed.

TILE ORGANIZATION OS COMMON COUNCILAN IN-
- .
Wilson. Kerr et al. vs. Samuel S. Cavin et al. 'A
bill in .equity has been filed by Wilson Kerr and
others, Democratic members of Common Council,
against Samuel S. Cavin and others, Republican
members, and Joseph R. Lyndall, City Controller,
and James McClintock, City' Treasurer, praying
that the Republican members may be perpetually
enjoined from acting, or claiming to act, as the Com
mon Council of Philadelphia, and from interrupting
and disturbing complainants in the transaction of
such public business as such Common Council, and
from entering within the bar of the Common Coun
cil chamber of the said city during the stated session
thereof, except in a quiet and orderly way, in order
to a claim of membership thereof in due course Of
law and submitting themselves to the regular action
of, time Common Council upon their said claims ; and
that- the said Lyndall may be restrained from coun
tersigning or'approving, and the said James Mc-
Clintock from paying any warrant on the City Trea
surer, issued under, or by color of the authority of
the defendants.
The bill, in a forrrial way, avers the Democratic
organization of Common Council on the first Mon
day of January last, with the particulars of which
our readers are familiar. It then alleges that, al
though it was the right and the duty of the continu
ing members of the said Council tb receive the
newly-elected members thereof, arid Although your
orators constitute a majority of the mid continuing
members, and although the said president and clerk
and assistant clerk of the said body were so elected,
and acted duly and legally, and according to prece
dent and usage in all similar - eases, yet so it is, that
ten of the said defendants, to wit : Samuel S.
Cavin, Watson Comly, A. L. Hodgdon, John W.
Leigh, Mordecai R. Moore, James G. Peal, Alfred
Ruhl, Wm. A. Simpson, Isaac Sulger, and Chas. B.
Trego, improperly and illegally acting in concert
with the other defendants, (excepting said Lyndall
and McClintock,) by a prearranged plan, did, at the
hour and place appointed by law for assembling the
said body, and while your orator, the said Wilson
Kerr, was in the chair, and duly acting as president,
and while your said other orators were duly as
sembled to receive the newly-elected members of the
said Council, clamorously and illegally interfere
with the proceedings of your orators composing the
said Common Council, and did, by disorderly and
violent outcries, proclaim Charles B. Trego, one of
the defendants, president of themselves, and. George
F. Gordon and Abraham Stewart, clerks of their
meeting or assembly, and did attempt to, and did
interrupt the regular and orderly transaction of the
business of the said Common Council, and by such
disorderly and violent conduct did endeavor to pre
vent your orators from duly acting in the matter of
deciding upon the qualifications of persons claim
ing to be members of said Common Council, and
of duly considering and deciding upon the claims
of certain contestants to seats therein, and
that, at the next stated meeting, the defendants
intruded ihto the Council chamber and acted as
Common Council, and as such intend to pass laws
and ordinances for the government of the city, and
to pass resolutions and ordinances appropriating the
public moneys of the city, and to direct and permit
theik. clerk to draw orders upon the City Treasurer,
and present the same for payment; &c.
The hearing of the application was fixed for to
morrow morning at 10 o'clock. Wm. A. Porter,
Geo. M. Wharton, and Wm. L. Hirst, Esqrs., are of
counsel for the complainants.
The District Courts were in session yesterday,
and the Common Pleas also, and engaged with jury
trials. No cases of special Interest were tried.
The Court of Quarter Sessions was in session
also, but adjourned at an early hour.

A worthless-looking fellow, calling himself .Wm.
Miller, was arraigned before the alderman yesterday
afternoon on the charge of, stealing a small piece of
caFsimere from the store front of Jacob Scha.ndelm,
on North Second street. C. P. Huber, employed in
the store, testified that a person stopped in and said
a man had stolen the goods ; witness hastened after
him, called 1111 officer, who arrested the prisoner.
The piece of cassimere was found hi his possession.
The accused on being asked if he had any explana
tion to make, replied, that the cloth 'was on the
pavement, and he only picked it up • and walked
away with it. He was committed in default of $5OO
to answer.
-""- [Before Mr. Alderman Welding.]
All Old Mendicant.
While attending the progress of events yesterday
afternoon, at the office of Alderman Welding, an old'
man, givinethe name of Charles Locherain, was in
troduced by officer Adams. The old man tottered with
feebleness. He came in, groping his way, or.feeling
with his stick; he was blind. The .officer found him
begging on the high way,im portuning citizens at every
step. I.Por this he was taken into custody as a va
grant. 'While we were sympathizing with him, from
our "heart of hearts,"a circumstance occurred
which brushed away al our synipathy in a twink
ling. The old blind man, who had asked that his
sorrows be pitied, had handed his spectacles to the
Alderman.
A vagrant's commitment having
.been made out,
the aged prisoner was about to follow the officer.
"Here," said the alderman, "are your spectacles,"
holding up the article so necessary to short.sighted
people. The aged fellow must have received his
second sight, as he exhibited no difficulty in dis
cerning the spectacles at a distance of eight or ten
feet. "You are not so blind, after all," said the
alderman. The old impostor disappeared—so did
our sympathy. He was committed for the space of
thirty days.
Two men, giving the names of John Halpenny and
Philip Riley, were bound over to answer at court
the charge of committing an assault and battery on
James Young, the conductor of a car on the Tenth
and Eleventh-streets railroad. From the evidence
adduced it seems the defendants, while somewhat
under the influence of liquor, about ten o'clock on
Saturday night, took passage in the car. They had
with them some exchange tickets, that were not
good for a ride. The difficulty increased in regard
to the payment of the fare, and finally the car was
stopped and the men were ordered to get out. They
resisted, and the result was that the conductor was
pretty severely beaten by them. For this they were
held to answer.
Yesterday morning a man giving the name of John
Hur'bourn was charged before Alderman Williams
with the larceny of a set of harness, the property of
Mr. Bush, theproprietor of the Merchants'House,
near Third and Callowhill streets. The defendant
was committed to answer.
(Before Mr. Alderman Devlin.)
A Savage Attack.
George Thompson is the name given by a man ar
raigned before Alderman Devlin yesterday on the
charge of committing an assault and battery upon
Officer Sunderland. It is alleged the defendant was
drunk and disorderly in the vicinity of Ninth and
Market streets on . Saturday night. On being taken
into custody he violently resisted the officer, and
filially bit him so badly that it may result in the loss
of a couple of Dlr. Sunderland's fingers. The priso-
ner was committed in default of 81,000 bail to answer.

The *Truth Must Prevail. •
James Kelly, the young man who was arrested a
few days since on the charge of attempting to pass a
spurious $lO bank - note, made a statement, while
before Alderman Bottler, that he was a member of
the Keystone Battery. The story which he told is
fatly contradicted in a letter received at this office.
The epistle is dated Union Mills, Va., Jan. 10, 1883,
which 'says:,".The James Kelly who'was with us
Was never a member of this command, and 'had no
other connection with us in any other way than as a
hired hostler, and left our employ some two months
or more ago.ll
. .
Alderman Realer appeared at the OCntral Station
yesterday, for the first time since the death of his
child. " There are several important cases pending be
fore him, among which are the Twenty-fourth-ward
election fraud, the Fifth-ward ditto, and ,the con
structive la'ceny of ' soldier•.clothing. No time has
been fixed for the final hearing of these 'cases. The
politicians in the first two named cases arc probably
in Harrisburg; hence the impossibility, yesterday, of
fixing a time.

HEALING POWERS OF ELECTRI
CITY DEMONSTRATED ON OVER FOUR THOU
SAND INVALIDS, AT MO WALNUT STREET. PHI
LADELPHIA.
The object of the following certificates is to show that
cures at 12.1) 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 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 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 ; 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 IMP Walnut street, and be restored
to health. I shall be glad to give any one information
'calling on me. THOMAS HARROP,

Read the following from apreacher of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, No._ BIM 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 evap 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: hi five 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, 1220 Walnut street, Philadelphia, 1 am
perfectly cured; and to me this is most astonishing, for I
had exhausted the ca talogue 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 zne, 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 humanity. I had dyspepsia, bad marasmus, or
wasting of the tissues of the whole body ; at times a
difficulty of breathing, 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 Tee
commend this discovery of Professor BOLLES to lthe
afflicted of all classes. There seems to be no guesswork,
no confusion, no matter of doubt in his treatment. He
proceeds on fixed principles,and according to fixedl awe,
whickseem to me infallible and harmonious. He war
rants, by special contract, the most obstinate, chronic
and acute cases, and charges nothing, if ho 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:
PHILADELPHIA, bfarch 31, RBI
PROFESSOR BOLLES,M 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 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 some of the most celebrated pupa
clans 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
handed me by my father, which contained the names of
some gentlemen whom I had been formerly acquainted
with, and whose statements Icould 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 k")erfectly 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 Ac.

N. B.—lt will be Well for the diseased to recollect that
Prot B. has given a word of caution in his pamphlet to
guard them against 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 hazard, but it is the severity of truth,
and designed for the good of humanity. Seo advertise
