structure of the Chestnut.street bridge had been
called upon by the United. States assessors for a tax
upon the work of the bridge, assessing the same as
" bridge castings," and requiring a monthly pay
ment upon the work done at the rate of one dollar
per ton. There is now due about $7OO, and -as the
contract was executed AprilB, 1862, the city becomes
liable for the payment of said tax.

re ceipts from taxes are detained in the hands of the
tie asurer, and styled by him city debt account, and
not used to meet dem ands upon the treasurer, but
retained in his hands to meet the interest in July
next." In reply, the City Treasurer states that the
last clause of an ordinance passed December ii,
1865, says : " And the said treasurer shall forthwith
pees such proportionate amount to a separate ac
count', to be called the 'city debt account,' and the
money included in the said account shall not be ap
plied under any pretence to the payment of any
claims, or to any purpose or object other than the
interest; and after that is discharged, to the prin
cipal of the public debt of the city,,,as is hereinbefore
set forth ; and any encroachment on the said fund
for any other purpose .or object than as aforesaid,
shall be a misdemeanor In office on the part of the
said city treasurer." The Treasurer also states that
he was not retaining in his hands any funds to the
neglect of "demands upon the treasurer," as he
was then paying all demands against the city pre
sented.
The communication was referred to the Committee
on Finance.

;Mould be discharged.
Mr. Z.arrE said he thought the gentleman from the
Twenty-second (Mr. Brightly) had no right to find
fauld with any member of .• a committee, as he

A Line of Ocean Steamships.
ki,The bill from Common. Council in reference to es
tablishing a line of steamehips was taken up.
Mr. WETHERILL said thie matter had been refer
red to a committeewhom he did not think had tho
roughly considered the matter. We have nothing
to prove that this experiment will provireuccessful:
This matter hasffleen before capitalists and the Board
of Trade, but they have as yet failed to give any
satisfaction of its success. The city of Philadelphia
and the Pennsylvania Railroad Company should
pause before they embark in any such undertaking
as this. The New York Board of Trade and men of
experience in that city have not entered into this en
terprise. Whyds it that they have not seized on this
patent of Captain RandalPs 7 The speaker read a
letter from Commodore Vanderbilt, in which he
says :
" Your favor of the 16th inst. is this moment re
ceived, upon the subject of Capt . .RandalPs experi
mental steamship. •
"You say that Capt. Randall had stated that he had
consulted me upon this subject, but from the fear
that his method would so revolutionize the whole
subject of 'sea navigation by steam as to render
steamers built upon the old plan entirely useless, I
declined to have anything to do with it.
This is simply ridiculous. It is a very delicate
matter for me to pass judgment on the various ex
perimental plans that may be submitted to my view.
There is scarcely a day passes that I do not have
applications laid before me for an opinion by some
sanguine inventor. I generally dispose of those
•matters, whenever I see that they.are of no practi
cal value, as delicately as possible, but firmly; and
this sense of delicacy forbids me to speak more
plainly than I have done in reference to your in-
It seemed to the speaker that it should be plain to
all in view of these facts, that it would not be policy
toinvest a half million dollars in this enterprize. Mr.
Wetherill read extracts from the pamphlet of Capt.
Randall,which was delivered before the Philadelphia
Board ot Trade. The speaker maintained thatthe bill
came from -the Pennsylvania Railroad, •who. were •
anxious that the city should guarantee them $500,-,
COO, so that they might be free from loss. If this is
a sure thing, why do they ask us'to guarantee the'
stock?', He thought that we should take a lesson
from the past—all these ocean steamers have proved
failures, and those who' invested their mony lost.
Just so sure as we pass this ordinance, just so sure is
that money lost.
Mr. OATHRRWOOD said he was infOrmed that the
'Board of Trade did pass complimentary resolutions
to Captain RandalPs project. The speaker "read' a
letter from E. Mills, of. New York—as ship builder—
who says that the models of these vessels are the
best he ever examined. He further , argued the use
fulness and great benefit to be derived from this en
terprise. "- .
The minutia of the bill was further opposed by,'
Mr. Brightly, when it was postponed until Thursday
next, at 4o'clock.
The Death of Joseph' S. Riley.
Mr. MILLER. offered the following:
Resolved, That the mernberkeif Select Council have
heard, with great regret, of the death of Mr. Joseph
• S. Riley, who was, for many years, a useful and effi
cient member of this body and who,`as well in his
private' ife as in his social and official relations, had ' 1
the sincere respect and esteem of, his fellow- citizens.
- Resolved, That the clerk be directed to send a copy
of these resolutions to the family of deceased, as
a testimony of our respect and condolence. 'with
them in their affliction. • -
Mr. WETHERILL, in seconding the resoluticais,
made a touching and feeling speech relative" to the
worth and usefulness of the deceased, who had
filled many responsible posts with honor to himself
and credit;to the city. ova
The resolutions passed unanimously. "
After concurring in a number of bills' from beni-
Mon Council, the Chamber adjourned
COMMON BRANCH.
A cOmmunication was read from the Chief Engi
neer and Surveyor of the Leith informing Councils
that the national tax whieh he is obliged to pay • is'
s7oop" and•that he will not pay it until instructed by
Councils. ..st; , • :
The Legielative Bill on ` City > Railrowde.
Mr. Quin offered the following :
Whereas, a o bill bee been rased by 'both branciaem
of the Legislature of this Commonamalth rel %Hag
to kpa iseqnge r wsitw ay companies, which deprives
'the city of Philadelphia of all control over those
companies within itslimits, which is calculated ma
terially to affect the'revenue of the city, and . which,
by making the said companies independent of all po
lice and other_ regulations, allows them to drive
their care at any:extraordinary and dangerous rate
of speed, thereby periling the lives of the people and
the rights of property, and which; bv-preventihg all
control over the number of oars used by
. them,
.may
injuriously interfere with the:: trade and travel of
the city; and whereirs r the said:bill is subversive of
the principles and doctrines of municipal govern
ment, and in violation of the chartered rights of the
city, and as the said bill has not yet received the
sanction of the Governor : therefore, be it.
Resolved} by lhe Select and Common Council of the
city of Philadelphia, That we earnestly request the
Governor to withhold his signature from the said
bill, and in that event the members of the Legisla,
ture from the city be requested to prevent its
passage.
Resolved, That a copy of the preamble and resolu
tion be sent to the Governor and each member of
the Legislature from the city.
Mr.BARRER called the yeas and nays on the pas
sage of the resolutions. , Ile said that he was not Hi
llis seat as a member of the Legislature at the time
the bill passed. He regretted that he was not pre
sent to do his part in defeating it.
The resolutions passed unanimously,.
The European Steamship Project.
The order of - the day (it being 4 o'clock), was now.
taken up; the ordinance making an appropriation
for the Philadelphia European Steamship Company.
Mr. BARonn urged the passage of the ordinance.
He could not see what reasonable objection could be
made to the-bill. He thought Councils should net
hesitate in the matter, because it would assist the
trade and commerce of the city of Philadelphia. As
to the law upon the subject, he had carefully studied
it, and found that there was nothing illegal in the
ordinance. The City Solicitor was of the opinion
that there was no illegality whatever about it, and
the Assistant City Solicitor was of the same opinion.
Letters from these gentlemen were handed to the
clerk to be read.
Mr. BARGER continued. If the city has no right
to pass this ordinance, let the matter be - contested
in the courts of law. For the present, Councils
should, in a legal sense, be governed by the opinion
of the City Solicitor. Outside of the consideration
of its legality, he thought there could be no objection
whatever to the matter.
Mr. BAIRD said this was a matter of considerable
moment. The passage of this bill would embarrass
the city treasury considerably, as it would lessen the
receipts of the treasury about $lOO,OOO per annum.
Mr. ILuteam was free to say that, in reference to
the argument of the previous speaker, "he did not
see it in that light." The surplus above 6 per cent
on the stock owned by the city of Philadelphia in
the Pennsylvania Railroad did not equal $lOO,OOO
per annum. Next year it might not amount to one
half or one-third that amount. He argued that the
steamship project should be endorsed, even though
five cent. would be added to the present tax.rate.
The benefits of the measure would show themselves
in the increased value of property, and the decrease
of mercantile and manufacturing prosperity.
Mr. HODODON was as ready and as willing as any
other gentleman to toWance in every possible way
the business interests of the city, if it could be done
in a legal manner. He quoted from former .ordi
nances of Councils to show that the Council had
no right to dispose of the interest on the railroad
stock, as is contemplated in this ordinance. He
thought that the interest on all stock of the city:
should be invested as a ainking fund, and not for the
• purpose of creating new corporations.
Mr. Moons opposed the bill. He characterized
the scheme as an experiment, and one whose cost
and risk were too great to justify the City . Councils
in passing the bill. Re stated that it was for the in
terest of Philadelphia merchants, that they should
continue to import by way of New York. With the
steamers, which it is intended to run between this
city and Europe, the importers of this city could get
their, supplies only monthly. Under the present
system,', the Philadelphia importer, with one-third
the capital necessary to import directly, can do a
good business by buying at New York. It was
simply ridiculous to attempt to even rival New
York in its commerce and business. He thought
that Councils had no legal right to subscribe to the
stock of this company. It would be in direct viola
tion of the State Constitution. No more right did
Councils have to subscribe to this steamship com
pany than. it would have to subscribe to an iron
manufacturing company. The latter might benefit
the cityrtn a business point of view, yet that would
not justify the Councils in aiding the company in
a financial way. The present time was very in-.
auspicious, as the national, State, and city taxes
were already large, and no further burden should be
placed on the tax-payers, without there is some
prospect of a good return. The history of the sub
scriptions by the city to such corporations is one of
failures, and there was good reason to apprehend
that another failure would be added, should this
ordinance become a law. •
Mi. LExon followed in support of the bill. He
did not suppose that there could be any opposition
to the matter. It was useless to argue about the
legality of the question, for if it were illegal the re
medy is to be obtained in another place. Re admit
ted that this steamship company was an experi
ment, but what benefit ever befell the human race
unless by experiments 1 The greatest good results
from experiments.
Mr. PAINTER was the next speaker. Hewes very
severe in emphasis and in gesticulation on the City
Solicitor for giving an opinion that was not called
for. Helwould not wiolate the law. [Laughter.]
Mr. President, said the speaker, I will not be
laughed at. lam here to do what I think is right,
and will so act. There are borers in this Chamber
to have this ordinance passed. I see them all around
me, and now are we to yield to any extraordinary
influences?
Mr. LEIGH thought that the Chamber, having
just heard "an opinion as is an opinion," ought not
to have any further hesitation in voting upon the
bill.
Mr. Lorraismin could not, even after all the argu-,
mente he had heard -in its favor, - sanction by his
vote the passage of the ordinance. He alluded to
the various efforts made in previous years to secure
the object now aimed at, and gave the reasons of
their failure. He thought also that the bill-.con
tained a " snake," and that if it passed the stock of
the Pennsylvania Railroad would be greatly depre
• ciated. • Those who advocated_ the bill were inte
rested parties. He had heard no arguments from
anybody else.
Mr. Qum desired that the discussion might now
cease, for the minds of the members had already
been made up, and nothing was wanting after, the
convincing speeches of the members from the Third,
Seventh, Second, and other wards, and after, also,
the profound opinion of "Democratic Kensington,
true to her faith." He regretted that the member

and so he did, in accordance with that advice pri
vately given. -Now Mr. Quin defends • the City So
licitor. lie says one thing in private, and the oppo
site in public.
Mr. Quite acknowledged that the point of order
was well taken. But he (Quin) gave his advice to
Mr. Painter for fun. He wanted the. Chamber to
know how, much his friend would swallow, and be
lieve it all true [laughter:] Mr. Painter was very
eloquent against the City Solicitor,but the ideas were
not his own, though he looked well in borrowed
clothes [renewed laughter.]
The debate was further continued between various
members.
Mr. BAIRD offered an amendment, so that the city,
shall subscribe the excess over 6 per cent. of 'only
.1,600,000 'of the stock owned in the Pennsylvania
Railroad (the total value of the city subscription is
$6,000,000.)
The amendment was not agreed to, and the ordi
nance passed by the following vote':

Reports of Committees.
Mr. Bantu, chairman of the Committee on Pi.
nance, reported a resolution to release the property
of Wm. P. Hamm from the lien of judgment on his
official bond. Agreed to.
Also, a resolution to discharge the committee from
the further consideration of a resolution from. the

Mr. BAIRD offeted a resolution instructing the
Finance Committee to make some settlement re
specting the clainiS of F. Knox Morton, late City
Treasurer, which Was agreed to. -
Mr.,LOUGHLIN, 'chairman of the Committee on
Fire and Trusts, offered a resolution to locate the
Humane, West Philadelphia, and Franklin Engine
Companies as steam fire•engine companies.
Mr. Gavin moved to amend.by adding the West
ern-Hose.
Mr. HARPER moved' to add the Schuylkill Rose
Company.
Along discussion ensued on the resolution, and the
virtues and faults of the Fire Department were freely
discussed.
Mr. HARPER stated that he would oppose the re
solution, because . there were too many steam fire
engines already. The cost of the department was
now eighty thousand dollars per annum, which was
entirely - too great.
A motion to recommit the report of the commit.
tee was not agreed to, and the subject was post,
The preamble and resolution from Select Council,
in reference to the passenger railroad bill which has
lately passed the Legislature, were concurred in.
Mr. Qum moved to reconsider the motion in
definitely postponing the •resolution - inquiring into
the right of certain members to hold seats in this

wards. •

the parties who received it ; ho said that the recipi
ents were well known and he would see them, and
if they had no objections he would. reveal their
names ; he remarked that the paragraph complained
of was not defamatory of Mr. Buckner.
CrosSexamined.—l had no conversation as to the
truth of the publication; I said it was defamatory;
1 mean by defamatory that it was untrue; Mr. Buck
nor owned the yacht La Criolla; he bought it about
midsummer, 1862, and sold it in December, 1863; sold
it to a gentleman whom I had the pleasure . of inept
log, in New York; his name was Schwartz, or Von
Schwartz; the sale of the yacht to him was absolute;
no reservation; I had no .conversation with Mr.
Buckner' about the sale; she was sold for no specific
purpose; I believe -Schwartz is a Dane; the y'acht
wee put under - Danish papers; I knew nothing of her
from the timeshe was sold up to the publication; I
had no interest inher; Mr. Bucknorlheardbomething
about her the night before the publication in the
Inquirer; I do not know John R. James; have
no business with him; heard the yacht was cleared
from Philadelphia, under Danish colors, about the
2d of January, - 1863, for HaVanay I saw some nails
go - aboard of her; saw two dray loads; the yacht is
only twenty-seven tons; I suppose they 'were nails
put on board of her; I, know nothing of any of the.
contents; the nails were branded "Cumberland;"
there miglithave been a nigger in for all I know; I
don't think there was any other cargo on board be
sides the nails; don't know the master's name; I
`knew nothing of her cargo at this time; never saw .
the manifest in the custom house; have not ascer
tained anything about the real cargo since this suit
was instituted; she had been a captured vessel be.
fore; she was bought at the Marshal's sale for $1,310;
she lay at my wharf , eight or ten days; the purchase
money was a draft on New York; it was paid at
maturity.
Henry G. Fisher sworn.—l am the foreman of the
Philadelphia Inquirei establishment; I know the
handwriting of Mr. Winslow,i I do not think that
Mr. Winslow furnished anything on the day of the
publication.; I don't know Mr. West, nor Mr.
Weest the article was not written byMr. ' Winslow.
Mr. Vandyke now proposed to-ascertain - who
wrote the article. He asked whose handwritig the
manuscript was in. -
Mr. Brooke objected on the ground that the ex
amination should be confined to Mr. Winslow. The
witness has already stated that Mr. Winslow did
not write it. This he considered sufficient. The
alderman overruled the objection, and the question
was renewed, to which the witness replied : 'do not
know; I do know that it was not ale Winslow's
handwriting; I know Mr. Winslow's writing like a
book ; the original paper may be found r it, may
not; was placed among the waste paper`; I saw it
last evening after supper; it was in the waste-paper
box ; I put it back there again; it may or may not
be there now ; I do not know Mr. West or Weest as
a reporter:
Mr. Vandyke said he would close the case here,
and ask a binding over of the defendant.
Mr. Brooke was somewhat surprised that the
counsel for the prosecution should close the case
without _examining the gentleman who complains
of the publication. - -
Mr. Van Dyke replied that he desired to keep
nothing back ; but as the learned gentleman on the
other side desires to hear Mr. Buckner that gentle
man shall be called to the stand.
A.. S. Buckner sworn.—l am one of the firm of
Buckner, IVleCammon, & Co. ; through Mr. Trainer
I bought the La Criella about the middle of last
summer, and sold her on the 18th of December fol
lowing ; I am the Bucknor referred to.
Question by Mr. Vandyke. Are the allegations
contained therein true 1
. .
Answer (promptly). Yes, sir.
The witness evidently misunderstood the question,
because the next moment he replied the allegations
ate false.
Orois.exarained.—l' know nothing about the La
Oriolla;=this-article contains all. I know about her ;
I know nothing of -the manifest as filed in the cus
tom-house. I have known Mr. Winslow by reputa
tion for many years ; don't know thathe entertains
any other feelings than those of friendshipfor me;`
the article in the paper speaks for itself..
The evidence here closed. Mr. Brooke briefly
summed up, and said that he never. heard of, nor did
he ever dream of so extraordinary an allegation as
this, that the article complained of is a libel. It
simply says this, in reference to the yacht: "She
was formerly a popular boat,. and owned by A. J.
Bucknor." He contended briefly that the evidence
of Mr. Bucknor is positive on this point ; for he
swears that he was formerly the owner of the boat,
and that he sold it to another party. The article
simply states the fact. It does not say that he is or
was the owner at the time she was captured, but
that he was formerly the owner. Besides this, there
is nothing but friendship existing between him and
Mr. Winslow, so far as he knows 2 and -therefore
even if Mr. W. did furnish the article, there could
be no malice on his part. After a few more remarks,
in a similar strain to the above, Mr. Brooke asked
for the dismissal of the charge.
Mr. Vandyke said that he considered the publica•
tion.a gross, malignant libel on the character of an
upright citizen, in business in Philadelphia, and it
was calculated to impair his usefulness and destroy
his business. Mr. Vandyke further said : "If there
is anything calculated to blacken a man's character,
it is merely the allegation that he is doing that which
is giving aid to the public enemy. I say this in re
ference to the State, as well as the nation." Now,
let us see what the libel Mr. Vandyke read as
followa "She was formerly a popular boat, (com
ma,) and owned by A. J. Bucknor." -
Mr. - Vandyke further said : ".The adjective form
erly does not qualify the verb owned, and, therefore,
the construction of the sentence may be considered
that formerly alludes to the boat exclusively as
being' popular, and that she'-is owned by Mr. Buck
nor at the present time,-and is unpopular. This -he
considered a fair-and liberal construction of the sen
tence."
The counsel finally concluded, and the alderman
required the defendantsto enter bail in the sum of
$l,OOO to answer at court. Bail was entered, and the
parties left the office.

Shoe king Outrages.
About one o'clock yeaterday afternoon, a number
of half-dimaken, vilhanous-looking prowlers about
the wharves, made an indiscriminate attack: upon
. all the colored men who chanced to pass by them.
They succeeded in knocking down an old colored
man, and for a time had everything their own way.
Two of the malignant gang were arrested, and taken
to the Central Station. They - gave their•names as
John Driscol and Wm. Crownin. One of the parties
was so repulsive in appearance, that even hard
hearted police officers shuddered when looking at
them. They had beaten three colored men, named
John Barton, George Roney, and Henry Itain,.but
of ::a pure spirit of malicious feeling towards the
colored race. Barton was most shamefully abused.
He was one of the crew of a Delaww_Aviacket, lying
near Pine-street wharf. He liiied-at' Milford, Dela
ware, and has a wife and. children at home. He
just came ashore, having, in his bead purse, live
dollars in silver that he intended to expend in
the purchase of some things for his wife.' A rowdy
threw something in his face; without any provoca
tion whatever. He ran to get back to the vessel,
but was knocked down, and brutally kicked in the
mouth and head. He bled freely. In kissing the
Bible at the police office, when about to testify, he
left the blood print of his greatly swollen lips upon
the cover of that sacred book. Besides being beaten,,
the gang got his puree and the five dollars. Roney
escaped with "a couple of kicks one in the stomach,
the other in his face: Rain, while leaning against a
.post, received a severe blow upon the back of the
head, from some sneaking, murderous assassin who
approached him ifrom behind. The prisoners were
fully identified as two of the party who committed
these outrages , upon unoffending colored men. The
prisoners were committed in • default of $4,000 bail..
each, to answer assault and battery, riot, and larce-
Bound Over.
Mr. Wang, who was arrested'a few days since on
'the charge of receiving goods from the parties who
robbed their employers, Messrs. Tioutman & May,
had a final hearing before Alderman Beitler yester
day, afternoon. He entered bail in the sum of $l,OOO
to answer at court.
Retained.
We understand that the Continental has changed
p *prietorship to some extent. Among the most
useful of the old attaches of the institution retained
is Detective William Russell, whose 'presence there
has prevented many a visitor, boarder, or, lodger
from being robbed by any of the professionals. On
last Saturday night he detected tivo of the Baltimore
fraternity of pickpockets about to enter the build
ing, but a word from him and they left without any
delay whatever. Mr. R. was on the city detective
force for many, years, at which4ime he made some of
the most important arrests on the police record.

of the 'worst disorders that afflict mankind arise from
the corruption that accumulates in the blood_ Of all the
discoveries that have been made to purge it out, none
have been found which could equal in effect AYR'S
COMPOUND EXTRACT , -OF SARSAPARILLA.„ It
cleanses and renovates the blood,' instils the vigor of
health into the system, and purges out the humors which
make' disease.-- It stimulates the healthy functions of
the body, and expels the disorders that grow and rankle
in the blood. Its extraordinaryvirtnes are not yet wide
ly known, but when they are, it will no longer be a
question. what remedy to employ in the great variety of
afflicting diseases that require an alterative remedy.
Such a remedy - , that could be relied on, has long been
sought for, and now, for the first time, the public have
one on which they can depend. - Our space here does not
admit certificates to show its effects, but the trial of a
single bottle will show to the sick that it has virtues sur
passing anything they have ever taken. Sufferers from
Scrofula, Scrofillons Swellings and. Sores, try it and see
the rapidity with which it cures. Skin Diseases, Pim
plaY, Pustules, Blotches, Eruptions, &c., are soon
cleaned out of the system.
St. Anthony's Fire, Rose or Erysipelas, Titter or
Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm, dec., should not
be borne - while they can be so speedily cured by A.Ygleff
- . .
Syphilis or Yenorera Disease is expelled from the
SYSteill by the prolonged use of this Sarsaparilla, and
the patient is left as healthy as if he had never had the
disease.
Female Diseases are caused by scrofula in the blood.
and are generally soon cured by this EXTRACT OF
SARSAPARILLA. Price $1 per bottle, or six-bottles
for $5.
For all the purposes of a family physic, take AYER'S

WONDERFUL DISCOVERY AND
WONDERFUL RESULTS ACCOMPLISHED BY
PROF. C. EL BOLLES, 1220 WALNUT. Street. —The
-difference between fact and ifetkm.s, of permanently
curing the suffering of their disease, and advertising to
cure, and showing no better evidence -than offering re
ference of some persons in far-off localities, can well . be
• appreCiated by anxious seekers after health, upon atten
tively-reading-the following certificates of eases from
some of the most reliablegentlemen of Philadelphia, who
were permanently cared. by Prof. C. H. BOLLES, of
1220 WALNUT Street. •
Facts are stubborn things, and as evidence is required
for the establishment of all facts admitting of the least
• doubt, and as the astonishing cures perfored by Prof.
BOLLES are such as no other man has ever performed in
this or any other city, it seems important in the present
case to offer some proof by way of certificates:rem some
of the most reliable gentlemen of this city, and more
because there are some in this city who have the auda
city to claim to treat according. to Prof. BOLLES' dis
covery, and these same persons are really ignorant of the
Positive or Negative Poles of any Electrical Machines,
and therefore, Prof. BOLLES has cautioned the sick
against trusting their health in Rich reckless hands.
Read the following certificates of cures of most obsti
nate diseases by'Prof. Bolles, 1220 Walnut street.
Philadelphia. ,
The first cure was performed throe years ago, and
continues .well to this date
About nine years ago I had a severe attack of dyspeptic
symptoms, which increased on me daring the whole
time, and I supposed,' and also my physicians that
treated me, that my real disease was dyspepsia, and at
first was treated for that disease. My symptoms were at
first great hunger, and bad and exhausted feeling in the
stomach, only when I ate often. Sometimes, however,
I experienced loss of appetite, very disagreeable nausea
in the stomach, pain in the epigastrum, heartburn, great
fullness about the stomach, and pain through the pyloric
region; a feeling sometimes of great weight in the sto
mach, collection of acidity m the stomach, fetid
taste in the month. When the sense of hunger came
on .as above described, I had a sense of fluttering
about the chest, and a sinking faint-feeling at the
pit of the stomach, which was, in my first attacks, re
lieved only by taking food, and many times fumy walks
through the streets of Philadelphia, when these sinking
spells came on, I was obliged to call at some restaurant
and take food, but this only relieved me for the present
time, and thus I suffered for years under the best medi
cal treatment in the city. However, my physician at
last pronounced my disease cancer in the stomach. I
continued to be treated for what was informed to. be,
a cancer np to the time that Professor Bolles came to
this city and advertised his important discovery in the
application of Galvanism and other . :modifications of.
Electricity, for the cure of (as he announced) acute and
chronic diseases, and more especially cancers, tumors,
white swelling. &c: I-immediately called . on, Prof.
Bolles, at 1220 Walnut street, for advice in my case. I
will here state that I considered my case a hopeless one,
but notwithstanding this, my hopes were, at once re
vived, when Prof. B. frankly told me that he could
cure me in a- few day s, and I am frank in saying .that in
twelve or fourteen treatments I was perfectly cured.
This cure to me looks mysterious, and will ever appear
a wonder of wonders,'but,to Prof. .B. all- seemed cer
tain, as he remarked at the commencement that he knesi
to a day how-long it would take to produce a cure.
• • I am certain of a permanent cure from, the fact 'that
about twoyears have elapsed since my cure, and T lave
had no symptoms of return. I think- Professor -Bolles '
has made a very important discovery in the application
'of Eleetrieity for the certain cure of acrite.and. chronic
diseases, know of a great number of persons, whom he
has cured of the most obstir ate diseases, both acute and .
chronic. I have watched hie success for. more than two
years, and take pleasure in recommending his -scientific
discovery to suffering humanity. •I shall-lake pleasure
in being referred to by thutiseased. -

The following..*oiderful mire of Epilepsy was per more than eight months ago and remains Well
Read the following attentively
The following is a statement of facts in reference to my
condition and astonishing cure of Epilepsy:
For five years 'previous - to my knowledge of Professor
C. H..Bollesl-discovery of-the therapeutic administra
tion of Galvanism,' Magnetism, and other modifications
of Electricity for the cure of all 'acute and chronic
diseases., I had been severely afflicted. with Epileptic
Fits of the moat obdurate character, and had abandoned
all h opes of ever being cured,' as I had for years tried
the treatment and received the counsel of the most ems
. nent Medical Men of the States, with the view. of obtain
ing relief if 'any could be found among the Old Schools;
but all my efforts were unavailing, and, therefore, all
hopes were abandoned, as I then knew= of no'-greater
skill for the cure of obstinate cases 'than In the Old
Schools.: About six months ago my mind-was turned
to investigate the new discovery of Prof. C. H. Bol
les, 1220 Walnut. street, and, after noticing several .
certificates. of, cures which were published, and some
, from , persons with whom P. was acquainted, and'
knew them to be reliable men, •I`was induced to
call on the Professor, and.obtain his opinion of my CUB.
After belied examined. me about ten minutes, he frankly,
`informed me ,that he could cure me, and offered to give
me . a written"warrantee of a'complete Cure," affirin case
of a failure to charge me nothing. This at first seemed
an impossibility 7:lint the frankness and earnestness of
the Professor convinced lue'of his scientific accuracy in:
the diagnosis of my case. He disclosed all my sufferings -
and symptoms for live years past as well as I knew them
myself. j I will here state, for the good of 'humanity,
and especially those suffering as I was, that I ant per
fectly cured. I farther would state that mom than-four..
months have elapsed since my cure, and I hairs had
symptoms, and, therefore,feel confident that I Mil cured..
I shall take pleasure in being referred to, at any time, by
,any one; suffering as I was, and any inforMation of my .-
`condition previous to my Imre will be freely given to any
one at 1542 North THIRTEENTH. Street.L.Philadelphi&:
