Blackburn has submit- ted to the Mayor hie annual report, Betting forth in a clear and explicit marer the number and nature of the fires which occurred throughout the consoli dated city during the past year. The report we ap pend below, and we commend it to the attention of real-estate owners, insurance companies, and busi ness men generally, as the facts and speculation con tained therein have a universal interest. In this connection we take pleasure in bearing our own in- dividual testimony to the efficiency of Mr. Black burn, to whom, in the past year, The Press has been Indebted for valuable information: OFFICE OP THE FIRE MARSHAL, PHILADELPHIA, January 1, 1963. Iron. Alexander Henry, Mayor of Philadelphia: Sin: In compliance with your order I hereby sub mit for your consideration a report of the operations of my office for the year 1862. The whole number of fires occurring in the city during the year was 384, more than two-thirds of which were of a comparatively unimportant cha racter. The State House bell was sounded for only 126. The total loss by fires, carefully estimated, was, in round numbers, about $160,000 ; on which there was about $292,000 insurance. The uninsured loss was, therefore, about $168,000. The moat destructive conflagrations in the course of the year were the burning of the drug store of G. W. Lewis, No. 45 South Fourth street, and damage to adjacent properties, on the 6th of January; the schooner E. B. Pratt and cargo of coal oil, wharves of Simpson Fe Neill, ship builders, and ship Gray Eagle, at Ohrlatiamstreet wharf, on the 12th of May; the cotton-lap factory of the Messrs. Lodge, in. .Holmesburg, Twenty-third ward, on the 23d of the same month; the planing mill of Louis B. M. Dolby, on Swanson street, below Almond, and adjoining buildings, on the Bth or August; the Wissahickon Mill and railroad bridge, in the Twenty-first ward, on the 12th of the same month; the barn of Joseph Harrison, on Pennypack lane, Twenty-third ward, on the 31st of October; the rolling-mill of Stephen Bobbins, on Beach street below Vienna, on the 30th of November; and the sash factory of Joseph H. Thomas, on Ninth street, above 0-irard avenue, on the 3d of December. The losses by the fires of the 6th of .Tanuary and Sth 'of August, exceeded, each, $50,000, but were tin der $lOO,OOO. The losses by those of the 12th and 23d of May, 12th of August, 31st of October, 30th of November, and 3d of December, were, each, under $60,000. The 4th of July, in previous years so rife In confla grations and attendant disorders, passed almost as quietly as a Sabbath-day, and with not more than half a dozen tires to record, and these of such a trifling nature, that the entire loss, between sun down of the 3d and daylight of the 6th, did not reach $600! The wisdom of your Honor in not allowing the Statehouse bell to be rung on that day was again made strikingly manifest. The most calamitous conflagration of the year was the destruction of the patent cartridge factory of Samuel :Dickson, at the corner of Tenth and Peed streets, in the First ward, on the 29th of March. On a lot within a contracted enclosure, was a num ber of small contiguouS buildings—most of them be ing frame structures, and some under connecting roofs—forming the different departments of the manufactory. About seventy 7 five human beings, comprising men, women, boys, and girls, were crowded into these rooms. busily at work. A large majority of the employees were raw hands, unac quainted with the business, and but little aware of theihazards to which their new calling exposed them. On the morning of the calamity they were hurry ing to complete an order for ammunition for the Army of the Potomac, and cheerily and merrily their labors were progressing, when suddenly, without a moment's warning, they were startled by a series of loud explosions, anti, in the next instant, were . overwhelmed bythe ruins or the doomed establish ment, and wrapped, from head to foot, in flames. The awful character of the scene that ensued—its terrors and horrors—the desperate struggle between life and death—the mutilated bodies—the blackened corpses—the agonizing screams of the victims—the frantic wails of relatives and friends—the consterna tion in the neighborhood—may be pictured in imagi nation only. The pen fails to give even the faintest limning of what was witnessed and endured on that dreadful and heart-rending occasion. The factory was completely demolished, and the wreck reduced to ashes, while numerous properties in the immediate vicinity were damaged. One old man was blown to atoms, aeon of the proprietor was killed on the spot, nearly a score of the victims sub sequently lost their lives, many others were maimed or diriflgured for life, while but few of the whole number escaped entirely uninjured. The fatal and shocking disaster created a marked sensation in the community, and the feeling against the proprietor of the . establishment was only pre vented from reaching a violent pitch, by the sym pathy which his own painful misfortunes excited. Besides the untimely death of his son, he had two interesting daughters shockingly burned, made a hair-breadth escape himself, and lost all he was worth in the world. He had likewise been singularly un fortunate in former years. Acting in conjunction with the coroner of Phila delphia, Anthony Conrad, Esq., I made a thorough investigation as to the cause of the disaster s having first selected a jury of intelligent and scientific gen tlemen, who devoted much time and attention to the case. A very large number of witnesses were ex amined, and their testimony carefully noted and considered. The evidence proved conclusively that the accident originated in the 'room where the car tridges were moulded, and was caused by an un lucky blow struck by one of the moulders, while charging his mould, which was made of brass, with an iron plunger driven by a wooden mallet. Owing _an iron manipulation, the point tion, slipped,r ind - came irineWrfitet=4,9Womposi the mould. The violence of the friction war l iggli - MF to evolve sufficient latent heat, to produce ignition ' of the inflammable material composing the mixture for the cartridge s. The unfortunate employee paid the forfeit of his life for his thoughtless rashness. The examination finally resulted in the rendition of the following verdict : " The jury are of opinion that the explosion which resulted so disastrously was occasioned by the deto nation and inflammation of a scale of dry powder, under -one of the iron yammers, used by one of the moulders of the cartridzes, since deceased. "The jury also find that, in view Of the particu larly dangeious process employed in the manufac ture of the Barthlow cartridges, the establishment in which the work was performed was not fitted for the purpose to which it was applied, and many obvi ously-essential precautions .to prevent accident seem to have been entirely neglected." The finding of the jury was offensive to Mr. Jack son and some of his friends. In my opinion, the ver dict was exceedingly mild, and had it conveyed cen sure in language much stronger, it would have been just. I have known Mr. J. personally for many years, and have always esteemed hint as an upright, well-meaning, and kind-heat ted man; but a duty to the public, as an honest and faithful officer, compels me to say, that the developments made by the in vestigation showed a carelessness and recklessness in the operations of the factory that Were perfectly amazing. For convenience more powder was kept on the premises than the law allowed. The magazine always contained more than prudence warranted or necessity required. There were hot stoves in some of the rooms, and in dangerous proximity to them were chemicals, used in the composition of the car tridges, of the most inflammable and explosive qualities. Cartridges, in almost every stage of manufacture, were in the several apartments ; on the floors were collections of refuse material, and powder• dust had lodged upon the wood work in all parts of the concern. In fact, there was a con tinuous train of ignitable matter from one end of the establishment to the other and this train connect ing with the magazine itself! This was clearly de monstratcd by the direction the fire took from the instant the first ignition occurred, the rapidity with which it traversed its course in the complete circuit it made, and the manner in which the explosions succeeds d one another. In order to prevent the recurrence of any such de plorable calamity in cur midst, I would earnestly 3I CC mmend the passage by the Legislature of a law, prohibiting, under a severe penalty, the location of all establishments for the manufacture of cartridges and other ammunition, As well as pyrotechnics of all kinds, anywhere in the built-up portions of the city. Such manufactories should be located in the suburbs, in situations where they would be com pletely isolated. As a means of further safety, I would suggest that the work of every department should he carried on in separate buildings, situated at a proper distance from each other, so that, in case of an accident in one, the others would not be jeo pardized. Another year's experience has fully satisfied me of the correctness and importance of the recommen dations made in my last annual report in regard to coal oil. The past year has been prolific in fires and other casualties from this article. Some of. the in stances have been truly frightful and sad. In the month of February, a varnish factory, located in a thickly inhabited neighborhood, where benzine was used as a substitute for turpentine, was blown to pieces by an explosion, its owner instantly killed, and a workman, enveloped in flames, was hurled through the air, and thrown upon the ground, the distance of fifty feet from the demolished build ing, and was, oliepurse, dreadfully wounded. The fatal and Threatening conflagration, caused by an explosion aboard the schooner Pratt, which was loading with crude oil at Christian-street wharf, in May last, raged for fourteen hours, the flames baffling all efforts to subdue them, notwithstanding at least twenty streams from the most powerful steamers in the Fire Department were playing on the blazing mass at once. The dry-dock of Messrs. Simpson Ix. Neill, one of the most important institu tions of our port, as far as its shipping interests are concerned, narrowly escaped destruction from the ravages of this tire, and the marine underwriters of Philadelphia had to foot a heavy bill for damage done to the Clay Engle. During the past year the - cupidity of parties en gaged in the coal oil traffic has induced its storage— sometimes in immense quantities—even in the very centre of business marts and also in the most densely populated localities, regardless alike of the convenience of trade and the comfort of the people, provided buildings could be obtained at cheap rates, and were en situated as to suit the selfish purposes of dealers in shipping the oil or sending it to refine ries; • In a most glaring, instance of this kind, the condi tion of the-families in several blocks of houses sur rounding the place where the petroleum was de posited, was rendered intolerable by the stench arising front the article. In the absence of any ordinance or statute to enforce in their behalf, they appealed to the common law, and the party com plained of was pi °semi t eti for maintaining a nuisance. detrimental to the health and dangerous to the lives and properties of tile complainants. With the view of testing, before the Court of Quarter Sessions, whether the offence, charged was a nuisance, under your direction 1 urged its speedy trial before a jury,. who found the defendant guilty, and the court com pelled him to abate the nuisance. I would, therefore, again urge the necessity of judicious legislati• n relative to the locating of coal oil distilleries in this city, and also for regulating the transportation, warehousing, and shipment of petro'.eunt and its products. The most extrnordinary fire of the year—lndeed, the most remarkable one that ever came under my notice since I filled the position of Fire Marshal— was the extensive conflagration at Lewis' drug Store, in Fourth street, above Chestnut, in the month of January. This store took fire in the second story at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and so rapid was the progress, of the flames that it was impossible to check thent until the whole interior of the building, from the cellar to the fifth story, was destroyed, and the entire stock in the place consumed. The fire was the subject of much comment, and the general opinion as to its cause was adverse to the proprietor. His own account of the origin though plausible, was received with doubt. He attributed the mishap to the capsizing of a cracked and rickety stove, in which there was a hot fire ; and his statement was strongly confirmed by the evidence of a boy in hie employ. Still, there were singular and mysterious eit cuntstanceit brought to light by the investigation, which excited grave suspicions. G. W. Lewis had been operating in Philadelphia, periodically, for more than a year, but no one knew him. He hailed from the South, and after the ad vent of the rebellion represented himself as a Union refugee. Ilia conduct was strange and erratic. He was a sort of living, flitting myth—in fact, an enigma. He came to' his store in the morning and left at night, but where he made his home was unknown. Though he seemed to be constantly accumulating stock, he neither bolt nor sold here. Two car goes of goods were s roped to him from Boston in Philadelphia packets, tit of whom he purchased them never could he ascertained. Fictitious names were used in the bills of lading. All that he ever communicated in regiird to his business was, that he was collecting an immense stock of drugs, che- Mica's, and medicir al preparations, in anticipation of the' speedy close of the war, and the consequent opening of Southern ports, to ship to South Caro lina and other sr ceded States, from which intended Ventures he extracted to realize a speedy fortune. He claimed tha' the total value of his stock in strirent the time of the fire; was $25,000; on.which he had managed to 'obtain policies of Insurance to the amount of $15,L:C0.. In the opinion of competent judges, he never really had in his place over $5,000 worth of goods. The arrangement of the stook was such as to cause it to appear large, but the belief is that It was a most. deceptive makeup. ' • 9 - Notwithstanding the suspicions against film, it ometer. was found impossible to procure any testimony that would implicate him in a charge of arson. All the facts and circumstances of the case apparently tended to prove that the fire was one of those " acci dental-on-purpose" jobs that had men now and thee do, who have not the courage to play the part of the deliberate incendiary. . Whatever might have been the real cause of the fire—whether it happened by accident or design— whether there was crime in it or not, what subse • quently transpired in connection with Lewis proved him to be a rascal, and if not a store-burner, a cool swindler at least. When he came to make his claim of the underwriters, several of whom fortunately were prominent and experienced druggists, he was detected in a most audacious and unblushing at tempt at fraud. lie claimed a total loss on.his poli cies, and although his books and papers, as he al leged, had all been burned, he presented a statement, purporting to have been made up from a private copy of a recent inventory, kept at his lodgings, in which his destroyed stock was made to foot up $31,000 ! The document was a weak, miserable invention, exhibiting the most lamentable ignorance of the drug business, both as to the correct names and real value of articles, as well as an utter lack of knowledge of the true state of the Northern mar kets. In this paper, he had so far overreached him self, that, the underwriters holding him in their power, cornered him, and .drove him to the wail. They demanded proper vouchers as proofs, which he promised to produce, by visits to Baltimore, New York, Boston, and other places. Time being asked and allowed for this object, he disappeared from the city, and has never been heard of since! Every effort has been made ny me to learn his history, and ascertain his whereabouts, but with little or no suc cess. Enough was discovered to prove that he be longed to a class of cheats, known in New York as bogus operators • and it is believed that, after he fled from Philadelphia, he wended his way South. More than a year has elapsed, and the fugitive is yet missing. This case is likely to remain without parallel in the history of fires in Philadelphia. 1 am happy to state that our city was never so free front incendiarism as it was (luring 1862. This . fact must be most gratifying to all goodcitizens, and will be a subject of special gratulation among under writers and property owners. Among the convictions for arson in the Criminal Court, was the case of , a young man by the name of George Atkinson, who was brought to justice five years after the crime was committed. He set fire to a house in a fit of revengeful feeibilk, in 1857, just eight clays alter I was appointed Fire Marshal, and es-• calmed from the city, and went to sea. Last winter he returned, and upon being arrested on suspicion of firing another house, was recognized by me as the fugitive criminal of 1867, confessed his first crime, and was sent to the penitentiary. The greatest amount of mischief in the, way of burning during the year, was committed last sum mer, by boys between the ages of five and fifteen, the evil being rife particularly in the vacation of the public schools. This class of young offenders gave the police a great deal of trouble. Between the first of June and the first of September, there were no less than thirty-four of them arrested. ,A num ber of these prisoners were too young to tie moral agents, and, of course, could not be held legally . re sponsible. In treating such cases I found myself ex ceedingly embarrassed. The struggle on my part be tween a sense of stern duty to the public, and the natu ral disposition to deal leniently with erring child hood, has been painful. Besides, the juvenile culprits being deemed unsafe eubjecta for reception into the House of Refuge, I have been obliged to take them, where their age and responsibility warranted it, into the Court of Quarter Sessions. Here, when convicted, the Judges very naturally hesitated about sending mere children to the penitentiary, and hence the proper disposition of these cases is found to be most perplexing. To mete adequate punishment is very difficult. I trust hopefully to the wisdom of our enlightened philanthropists, for the speedy establish ment of some good agency for the correction of the evil ; and, in the meanwhile, earnestly appeal to parents and guardians to exert a more stringent con trol over their sons and wards. More than half of this growing and deplorable mischief is attributable. to the laxity of parental discipline, and the indiffer ence of fathers and mothers to the welfare of their children. An examination of several of the juvenile incen diaries arrested and brought before me, showed that they were affected with a regular pyromania. A remarkable case of this kind was that of the boy who burnt Torr's ice -house, and afterwards set fire to six other places. A day or two before firing the first place; he was sitting at the door with his grand; mother, when, all at once, he looked up into her face, and asked her if her house should be set on rice whether God could put out the flames. lier answer being in the affirmative, lie wanted to know how. She was fortunate in answering that he could send a shower of rain, which seemed to satisfy the lad, and he said nothing more then ; but the next day his mind was again running upon the subject of tires. Your honor will recollect the case, disposed of by yourself, of the little girl in the boarding house of Mrs. Page, corner of Fourth and Arch streets. This child fired some kindling wood in the cellar, and while the fire marshal was on the premises making his investigation of that fire, she actually ran up stairs, and setting fire to a chamber, came near burn in • down the house. aving already extended this report to a greater length than I should have done, permit me to close it. In conclusion, allow me the pleasure of expressing my hearty thanks to yourself for your continued confidence, as well as for your unvarying courtesy and kindness and also my deep obligat ions to Chief Bugies, Police Magistrate Beitler, Superintendent Philips, of the fire alarm telegraph, and his assist ants, and likewise the officers of every department of the police, for their prompt and cheerful co-opera tion with me in everything pertaining to the duties of my office. Chief Engineer Lyle, and the members of the whole fire department, have rendered me the most cordial assistance in my investigations, and by their pleasant courtesies have done much to _make my otherwise arduous duty at fires a labor of.love. --- Very respectfully, your obedient servant ALEXANDER W. BLACKBURN, Fire Marshal. THE TERCENTENARY JIIBMEE. The Convention was called to order at nine o'clock yes terday morning, and opened with prayer by . Rev. E. R. Eschbach, of Baltimore.

Mr. Kerr left his seat, when Mr. TRECio said: Council will please come to or der, [laughter] and the clerk will call the roll. Mr. GORDON then called the roll, and, there being no quorum present, Mr. Sisursow moved to adjourn. Agreed to. THE POLICE. Au Ingenious Attempt at Robbery. The thieving fraternity, in Europe particularly, are taxing their- ingenuity to adopt a method to fa cilitate them in their profession. They were the first to introduce the mdfao . ubber dodge ; - and the New York authorities, fearing the same might be practised in that city, made police arrangements to meet the emergency. The attempt to introduce the same method of thieving into Philadelphia was for tunately checked by an article or two communicated to the public through these columns. It is supposed, among sonic folks, that detective police officers, ap- Mrelled as ladies, in order to catch the "gum-men," ust have been made known, as this attempt was unsuccessful. We have another dodge recently adopted by daring thieves, that throws thegum-man into the shade. So far it has been practised upon ladies. The sane Might he performed upon gentlemen, and, therefore, everybody must feel an Interest in the subject. The probability is the affair is known to the authorities. but why it should be kept secret is a point that would allow discussion to take a wide range. It is an old notion that publicity might defeat the ends of justice. This may be true in some cases. But in others too much publicity cannot be given, nor can it he made known too soon. The latest attempt that has come under our reportorial notice is, that a short time since a lady, having considerable money about her, tootCa seat in a railway car. There:hap pened to be but two other persons in there, who appeared to be a lady and gentleman traveling in company. The gentleman handed to the lady who hadjust entered the car, a copy of an illustrated newspaper for her entertainment. She accepted the civility, opened the paper, perceived a powerful and peculiar odor, became immediately insensible, and awoke to find herself robbed of her money and rail way ticket, together with sundry articles ofjewelry. The paper was supposed to have been saturated with chloroform, the scent of which was disguised with lavender. It Is also stated that only a week ago, a banker took his seat in a car on the West Chester road. He placed his small valige on his lap,.so that he could not well be robbed. Presently a man—to all ap pearance and action a perfect gentleman—ofibred the banker an illustrated paper containing war scenes. The banker thanked him kindly, but declined the offer on the ground that what he read about the war had sufficient horror for him—he did not consider it at all necessary to have such scenes pictured. It is quite probable the banker escaped being vic timized because of. his aversion to such graphic specimens of art taken by "our artist on the spot." Proffered civilities in railroad cars, such as offering a paper or book to a lady, particularly, will be re garded with distrust now that we have exploded the latest attempt to rob the unsuspecting. [Before Mr. Alderman Dougherty.) Savage Assault and Battery. Emma T. Holland was arraigned yesterday after noon, before Alderman Dougherty, on the chargelof committing an assault and battery upon Maria Sul livan, a hired girl in the 'family, and beating her on the head with a billy. The defendant is pretty ex tensively known by the soubriquet of the Sailor Boy, having . been on several voyages to sea as a sailor. warm, the prosecutro.,-00.---from Ireland about tic in tre-thoroutiosemeoftitmhe-e n d " efe u reani, - al a fi s ve a rn i o lo n m th e s : Dock street, not far from Second. It seems, from the evidence adduced at the hearing, that at a late hour on Wednesday night Maria had some words with a female who boarded with Mrs. Holland. An appeal being made to the landlady, she procured a billy, as is alleged, and struck Maria over the head with. it four or five times. Under these circum stances, the alderman required the "Sailor Boy" to enter bail in the sum of $l,OOO to answer at court, actsuat. and Battery on the Soldier. William Cross, whose - an-eat was mentioned in The Press yesterday, for. an alleged assault and battery on Alfred Geisa, has had a public hearing, at which the following facts were elicited: It seems that Geisa is a member'of Col. Segebarth's Heavy Artillery, 3d Pennsylvania. He went into the barber-shop of Cross, and was shaved. After this operation he sat down in a chair and fell asleep. The barber shaved another man, and, after completing the job, put his hand on the shoulder of the sleeping soldier, and at tempted to awaken him. The latter started, and told the barber to let him alone. The barber wanted to get him out of the shop, and, in-trying to effect this object, a scuffle ensued. The soldier getting the better of the bather, the latter .reached into the closet and seized the first thing,he could. This in strument was a hammer. He struck the soldier a blow on the left eye-brow with it, which shockingly disfigured that organ. The bone, fortunately, was not 'broken by the blow. The barber was held to bail in the sum of $l,OOO to await'a further hearing. LEGAL INTELLIGENCE. Supreme Court of Penn sylvania—ChiefJus tice Lawrie, and Justices "Woodmurd, Thompson, and Strong.

The case of Patrick Fanagan, charged with the murder of Thomas Williamson, a discharged soldier, on the evening of the 19th of November last, was on trial all day yesterday and the day before. The murder was committed at the house of the deceased, in Megiltonts court, running from Kater street, below Blond, in the Third ward. It appears that during Williamson's absence the defendant became intimate with his wife, and was a frequent visitor at his house. On 'Williamson's return, and these facts becoming known to him, he became very violent, and his wife had him arrested on her affidavit, alleging fear of her life, and in default of bail he was committed to prison. Upon his release he went to his home, and finding Williamson there, it is alleged that a struggle ensued between. them, in which the defendant stabbed him with a pocket-knife, inflicting a most horrible wound, death ensuing almost imme diately. Fanagan fled, but was arrested soon after, and his clothes found to be completely besmeared with blood. The defence set up was that the wound Was inflicted in self-defence, in an attack made on the defendant by Williamson, who had threatened to take his life. On trial.

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 Well•; but with the pabulum of life disordered, there can be no lasting health. Sooner or later something must go wrong. and the great machinery of life is disordered or overthrown. During late years the public have heeg misled by large bottles, pretending ll to give at quart of Extract of Sarsa parilla for one doar. Most of these have been frauds upon the sick, for they not only contain little, if any, Sarsaparilla, but often no cnrative 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 supplyecf obloquy a ey re w me e y h a. r s ee s t h e a e ll rescue e th A e e r l m ve e t f h r i o n t the we have ground for believing it upon virtues which are irre sistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it isintended to cure.

The object of the following certificates is to show that cures at 1230 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, vsedch seemed like a trance. The mucous surface of my mouth and throat had become so parched and feverish, t nat I was In constant misery I was also suffering from all the horrors of Dyspepst, loss of appetite. Nau sea, and frequent and severe att cks of vomiting; and so prostrated was my general system, that .1 was scarcely able to move about. I had availed myself of the science . and skill ofdistinguished medical men, both of the Allo pathic and • Homceopathic 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 .venders he was , erforming 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 dila 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 in/Walnut street, and be restored to health. I shall be glad to give any ono information calling on ine. THOMAS HARROP, Rose Mill, West Philadelphia. Philadelphia, May Ist, 1660. Read the following from apreacher of the Methodist Episcopal Church, No. 16E 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 live minutes after rentered 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 Boktas, 1220 Walnut street, Philadelphia, I am perfectly cured • and to me this is most astonishing, for I had 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 &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 marasmna, or wasting of the tissues of tho whole body; at times a difficulty of breathing, some palpitation ofthe heart, much bronchitis, trembling of the limbs Miff 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 (Ha ziness. I believe it is my duty, as a lover of humanity, to re commend this discovery of Professor BOLLES to !the 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 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 of the diseased to try his treatment. EDWARD T. EVANS, Preacher in M. E. Church 1633 HELMUTH Street, Philadelphia. ANOTHER CURB OF PARALYSIS OP THE LOWER LIMBS (Paraplegia) AND APOPLEXY COMBINED. Read the following: PHILADELPHIA, Mardi 61, DM Pm:117.880A 80u.ka,1220 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 811 attack of paralysis of the lower extremities. which rendered mo almost entirely unable to stand upon my, limbs. I employed some of the most celebrated physi cians to be found in that section, bat 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 Watt 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 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, dm. WILLIAk H. SHAIN, Publisher of the National Merchant, office South SECOND Street, Philadelphia. N. 11.—It will be well for the diseased to recollect that Prof. B. has given a word of caution in hie pamphlet to guard them against trusting their health in the hands of those in this city claiming to treat diseases according to Ms discovery. This cannon 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 ment in another column.
