Good Friday. —To-day is Good Friday,
the anniversary of the crucifixion of our Saviour.
The holy memories, the saored commemorations of
this hour, affect the emotions 0/ all who own even
hut a sentiment of religion, The region of pure
thought, exquisite s sensibility, of unconquerable
will, gathers itself together around this religious
festival. Good Friday is so called because of the
benefits derived by the death of our Saviour. His
{•perfect Unity of God jind manhood, His loving
Jundnees, His tender mercies. His incomprehensible,
•unfathomable agony, His God-forgotten cry, HU
.glorious resurrection, His past abasement, His pre
sent exaltedness, His future absoluteness—all, at
■ this hour, occur to the mind of the retrospective and
prophetic Christian..
"Variety has entered into the observance of this .
• day. The Saxons used to call it “ Hong Friday,” on
-account of the protractedness of the services. The
■ Germans styled it Stiller FrcitAg, because of its
solemn silence; and sometimes Char-Freitag, from
an old word signifying penitence. During the,second
and third Christian centuries it whs also called
•“Pasch,” because Christ, the Paschal Lamb, was
• then slain. In ancient times one of the observances
• used to be that of depositing a crucifix as in a tomb,
'together with the ciborium containing the conse
. crated wafers.
Good Friday is the only day in the year in which
.-Mass is not celebrated in Roman Catholic Ohurche3.
lUpon the day previous a host is consecrated, and
placed .over night in a chapel built for this purpose.
The priest then carries it to the main altar and con
sumes it. - The consecrated wine, the customary mu
sic, the incense and the lights, are not employed.
This ceremony, which, in the time of Henry VIII,
was oalled “ Creeping to Cross,” consists in hissing
the cross,
An effigy of Judas Iscariot used formerly at this
seAßon, to be carried round, and exposed to every
xparlc of contempt. In this country and city, the 'ob
servances are of a general religious nature. The
devotional feeling is deep.and still, and finds its ap
propriate expression earnestly and quietly. To-day
there will be a serious and intense manifestation of
all those private and sacred emotions so naturally
evoked by such an occasion.
A Farcy" Dress Hof at Concert Hard.
-—A private fancy-dreea hop took place on Wednes
day night at Concert Hall. The company began _to
Bit- down at nine o’clock, and continued in an unin
terrupted stream for two hours. -Towards twelve
o’clock the attendance numbered some hundreds.
The door of entrance was, as is usual in such cases,
■besieged with an inquisitive crowd. Curious glances
peered with microscopic perseverance into every
carriage, and a bevy of remarks, more free than flat
tering, clustered around each new-comer. The hall
was elaborately decorated with the national colors.
The drapery was tastefully, disposed, and added a
pleasing vividness to the scene. The myriad lights,
falling in yellow showers from the ceiling, wrap
ped the quaint and queer attire of the assem
blage in a soft and- beautiful- splendor. Accord
ing to the cream-colored little books, printed in Sol
.ferino type, and 'sweetly lined , with lubricated
it.was expected that every gentleman ap
pearing upon the floor would be in fancy dress.
V ery few refused to comply with this rule. In cer
tain cases the plain, legitimate ball-room attire was
considered and passed as sufficient. White cravats,
invisible vests, liglit-complexioneil trowsers, coats,
“ everything that could be expected,” were admis
sible, and their wearers were accepted as orthodox
in gallantry. The musical selections were made
with a degree of taste, containing a few of the melo
dious quintessences ot national and operatic gems.
The Programme des Dances embraced waltz and pro
menade, quadrille, les lanciers, gallop and polka
waltz, mazourka, quadrille (La Poisson D’Avril),
polka (redowa and: schottische), quadrille (polka),
mazourka, les lanciers, quadrille (ft la Swede), ora
tion. quadrille (polka), les lanciers, waltz and polka,
quadrille, gallop, quadrille (polka), les lanciers,
wallz, quadrille jig.
With respect to the dominos worn, the ladies and
gentlemen were requested, at the sounding of the
.gong, to divest themselves of these in the saloons
appointed for the purpose. To describe a fancy ball
would be to. describe the changes of a kaleido
scope. .The brilliant sprinklings of infinite va
riety shone and glittered. There were pointed cor
sages pranked with pink ribbon; pearl beads,
bouffon trimmings, sashed sleeves, royatering Cava
liers and square-cut Roundheads, short jackets,-
petticoat trowsers, velvet cloaks, broad-brimmed
hats, ruffles, cravats, streamers, wristbands, flow
ing feathers, broad bandeliera, bullion ;tassels,
taffety ribbons, scarlet jutting shoe-strings, Flan
ders, laced brims. fine shirts, jewelled buttons, and
yellow heels; ribbon-puffed sleeves, long cassocks,
close vests, Polish frock-coats, stocking pantaloons,
curled and frizzed hair, long stomachers, full trains,
embroidered flounces, braided, twisted,, knotted;
wavy locks, throat-pearls, bibs and tuckers, golden
tissue, jet brooches, and colored gems; point"
laces, > pearl drops, jewel-chains, clusters of gauze
and loops of lawn, buff gloves, mauve gauntlets,
tasseled handkerchiefs, silver strips, whalebones,
quilted petticoats of sober richness; enamelled
watchce and enameled complexions; glitter

«d berihes,- purple bows and cloth of gold; ex
travagant bouquetß, pearl-painted locks, skirts,
scolloped and trimmed with silver fringe; scarlet ro
setteß, green, sprigs, satin sashes, antiquated farthin
gales; agraffes, tracery, and fretwork; swords and
buckles; cuffs and kaftans; tulle and blonde; white
felt, pink blush, coatees, Russian leather yellow
boots; costly chatelaine and zibelin fur; and—where
did it leave off? Frahcatelli is the historian of cook
ery. Who Bhall be the historian of fashion! The
snarling cynic, perhapß, considering the ways in
which fashion sometimes tortures her votaries,
would place her next of kin to the Aztec idol, and
vow that each of her new behests only prepared
fresh victims for her altar. Last Wednesday night
all was superb and smiling. The party broke up at
an early hour, four o’clock yesterday morning, The
hilarity reached its acme at three, and continued at
Euoh culmination until it finally toppled over, and
gave up the ghost from sheer old age. The fancy
dress hop was a success. ’

Through the kindness of two'ladies, who gene
rously volunteered their .services, the inmates have
been instructed in the elementary branches of a
common school education.
In reviewing our labor for the past year, _and
recounting the pecuniary aid which our institution
has received from a benevolent community, we
would publicly acknowledge the munificent bequest
of the late John Wright, which goes to Bwell our
building fund, and .we hope, ere long, to add to it
sufficiently to enable us to purchase a lot and erect
a building far better adapted to our purpose than
the one now occupied, which is very inconvenient,
and the location equally undesirable.
The work-room report states the number of gar
ments made during the past year in the Rosine
House was 747; for use of family, 77; for thestore, GI.
Bor customers, 51 nightgowns, 157 shirts, 160 che
mises, 23 dresses, 27 quilted skirts, 34 bed quilts, 21
skirts, 12 pairs pants, 40 pairs drawers, together
with 84 smaller articles; aIBO, 318 button holes, 538
yards stitching, and 97 tucks.
The exercises yesterday afternoon, though ne
cessarily of a limited and restrained nature, were
unusually interesting to all present.
Miss Emma Hardinge, at the anniversary a few
days since, addressed the Association. She is an ad
mirer of progress, a deep thinker, ardently bent upon.
elevating woman to a higher stand of usefulness and
perfection. Her sentiments are boldly expressed,
and with graceful emphasis, which elicits the admi
ration and attention of her listeners. She has en
listed latterly in behalf of those of her sex who have
fallen a victim to the vices of great cities. The
Bosine Association has her, warmest support. She
informed its members that'she had taken much inte
rest in the welfare of the Magdalene. In New York
city, Bhe said, it had been calculated there were
7,900 women who had utterly fallen from grace, of
whom about 6,000 were under the age of 18.
It was much to be regretted that such a frightful
amount of crime should exist so near us. How
phall these girls be redeemed? She had endeavored
to devise plans of redemption, none of which have
proven feasible except one, and that was to.mstitute
in every city an industrial home, an association for
industrial purposes. By combining employment
with pleasures, we could make such a home attrac
tive. It would not he well that it should be alto
gether a charity; for, in many cases, charity is de
grading to the recipient.. Her proposition was to see
how to make the woman of the town sensible of her
shame, and thus cause her to return to her former
course. That institution would attract the fallen
one who would ask, “ Give me something to do, and
I will reform.” • -.
The peculiar nature of the life of the Magdalene
is excitement; our home should offer some excite
ment. Occupation should be given her which would
arrest her attention. In industry itself there was a
reformatory power greater than any amount of peni
tential sufferings- woman was capable of almostall
kinds of employment. She is competent to be a good
horticulturist,' and a good botanist. The best
tenders of the vmeß of France, and the most exquisite
florists there, are women. The free fresh air is in
vigorating to woman as it is to man. Why not in
troduce these agencies for the advantage of the fallen
women? Thiß was a progressive age, as it is a utili
tarian age. If the prejudices of the day against the
employment of women could be removed, there
would be great hope for the amelioration of the
weak women of the cities and towns. Let woman
seek and obtain employment, and let employment be
respectable, and we have advanced one great : Btep
towards the amelioration of the human race.
: The speaker did not address the audience to excite
their kindness and sympathies, for she believed them
all to be missionaries in a good cause. All she de
sired to impress on the minds of her friends was,
that it was important to .unite as an association for
the welfare of the unfortunate. Establish one in
dustrial home, which shall incontestably prove thAt
the condition of the fallen woman is not necessarily
hopeless, and you have established thousands. The
. success of one will cause others to be dotted all over
the nation and the world. This subject belongs to
,every woman, ami that woman who takes no interest
•In it is unworthy her sex. '
The morality of both sexes is -concerned, for no
•woman ever goes into the world, as a fallen crea
- lure, but she docs not drag the other sex into her
She goes out and sees starvation in her
r eyes, unless she drags some man after her. The
< evil concerns all. None of us know how near the
. crime iB to ourselves. Every mother and every wife
should learn that, while the spoiler is abroad, there
. is no safety for the son or, the husband. If the at
mosphere is poisoned, let it be removed. Let not our
. efforts be thwarted by that sentiment which is
falsely called delicacy. Rather drag the crime to
the full light of day, that it be exposed in all its hor
rid deformity. •

A Great Work of Art.—Wo had the
pleasure, yesterday, of witnessing at the Commer
cial Hotel, in Sixth street, a specimen of caligraphy,
at once uniQuc, wonderful, and strikingly beau
tiful. It represents Gen. Scott on horseback, and
was executed by Mr. David Davidson, a German
by birth, as he is a genius by nature. •He is a man
whose uncouth appearance conveys no idea of his
great natural ability, and whose present circum
stances, like those of many other men to whom
nature has been so bountiful, suggest the ingratitude
of the world, and heartlesanesss of its compassion.
Mr. D. is entirely blind of one eye, and with the
other he can but imperfectly distinguish objects at
a distance. Yet he has managed to complete a piece
Of workmanship that one can with difficulty distin
guish except with the aid of a telescope. He has
given to the world as fine a portrait of the old hero
of Chippewa as can anywhere be found, while at the
same time he haß combined with that picture the en
tire volume of “The Life of Winfield Scott,” by J. •
T. Headley, and the “ Oration of Edward Everett,”
delivered in Hew York, July 4, 1861. The peniftan
ship and drawing are executed entirely with a pen.
. The ornamental border of the work has been so
designed that the waving lines therein leave seven ty
six spaces, in each of which is a star, nineteen on
each side of the square, the former marking the age
of the honored General, and the latter the century.
In order to read this work, it will be found that
the preface of the first-mentioned work is written in
two straight lineß of the outer margin commencing
at the outer line (lower left ebrner) of the border,
and, reading up and around the picture, concludes in
the first line at the bottom. -
.SWbyS
Chapter first will be found in the waving lines fol
lowing the direction of the numbers, reading first the
six lines at the bottom and one straight line; from
these lineß of white letters the work continues in
three lines of the inner maigin written in black ink,
which finishes the first chapter. • •
The second chapter commences on tfie picture it
self. at the right fore-foot of the horse, and first fol
lowing the outline of the picture the whole maybe
traced with little difficulty on the“various parts,
whioli, with the eagle at the top and the three lines
of the title, comprise the whole'of this biography.
The picture measures 28 by 34. Mr. Davidson
spent long days and many hundred sleepless nights
in its execution. We are informed that for nearly a
5 ear he did not average three hours sleep daily. The
work has been highly applauded by all who have
seen it. He has beeu advised by Hon. Edw. Mc-
Pherson, late chairman of Joint Committee on
Congressional Library, to retain the prodigyuntil
next Congres, when itis thought that it will be pur
chased for preservation in the national archives.
The artist, bowever, is not in such circumstances
as to permit him rejecting an offer for its sale, should
itbemade. Such a picture in the possession of the
Academy of Fine Arts would be of inestimable value
to that institution. Mr. Davidson extends an invi
tation to all who are desirous of witnessing it,
A New 'Water Loan Asiced For.—

Contributions for the : Soldiers.—A
general order has been issued in this department by
order of G-en. Schenclc, to the following effect:
Whereas, It appears that large quantities of sup
plies, gratuitously contributed, by,a patriotic public,
lor the use arid comfort of sick and wounded bol
diers, in the service of the United States; have been
claimed, in many instances, by citizens, and by them
disposed of, for purposes not designed by the contri
butors : It is, therefore,
Ordered, That contributions from the public, of
whatsoever nature;- designed for the hospital depart
ment of the arms', and so delivered to .any medical
officer, or employee, within the limits of this.com
mand, at once becomes the property of such depart
ment, and shall be under the control of the surgeon
in charge of the hospital to which such contribu
tions are made, who will be responsible that the
property is applied as intended by the contributors.
In case of the closing of an army hospital, all pro
perty or supplies remaining on hand willbe’regu
larly accounted for, and turned over by the surgeon
in charge to tlie medical purveyor, or as may be di
rected by the medical director; anu in no instance
will any pereon connected with any hospital be per
mitted to dispose of property so contributed, except
in the manner provided by law and regulations for
the disposition of other public property; and all per
sons are cautioned against purchasing any such pro
perty from citizens, soldiers, nurses, or hospital at
tendants, as it will be seized for the Government
wherever found, and the burden of proof, as to the
legality of possession, be thrown upon the person
holding it. •
. An Impostor.— Residing in tlie vicinity
of Fifteenth and Bedford streets is an old colored
woman, named Rosanna Thompson, who gains a
livelihood by hard work, at washing. She was for
merly a slave in Virginia, and her heart is filled with
compassion for those of her color who have been
fortunate enough to free themselves from* bondage.
On Saturday evening last, during the heavy rain
storm, she discovered, at Broad and Prime streets,
a colored woman who was thinly clad and who waß
crying bitterly, and who held a child in her arms.
Rosanna took the destitute creature home, and fed,
warmed, and clothed her. But the sequel was an
illustration of the fable of the frozen adder and the
countryman. On Monday she left the house to per-;,
fdrm her daily‘labor, and on returning ;at noon,
found that the stranger had decamped, taking with
her every article of ciothingin the house, even to a •
pair of shoes worn by Thompson’s child. Thus, in
a moment, the accumulation of thc.iadustry'of fifteen
years was swept away by the ungrateful creature.
The thief is described as a young mulatto woman,
slightly marked with small-pox, and as having foxy
hair.. It is believed that she has pawned the goods,
and has gone to New. Jersey. She followed .our
army to Harrisburg from near Harper’s Ferry, and
thence made her way to this city. The case is a
hard one, and any person discovering the where
abouts of the thief will serve the cause of humanity
by making it’known to our police authorities.
A New York Boy at the Northern-
Home.—Strange are the vicißßitudes of life, and
stranger still the heartlessneaß which many suffering
children encounter in the clouded days of their ob
scure existence. Often do journalists meet.with
those painful instances of neglect that make huma
nity blush for the degeneracy of the race. To-day it
is our duty to note such a case, in order that a mo
ther’s heart may be gladdened at the intelligence
that we can give of the safety and whereabouts of
her missing son.
Franklin Siegel Harbor, aged nine years, was
sent to “The Northern Home for Friendless Chil
dren,” upon evidence of desertion, the substance of
which, as taken before the Commissioner, was this :
His parents, who formerly lived in New York, re
moved to Atlantic City, some time since, where his
father, becoming addicted to habits of intemperance,
drove his wife from, his house, hut insisted on. re-,
taininghis son. She then went to live 1 witfi“ her
brother, one Michael Felix, somewhere in the city
of New York. Subsequently to this, the father, in
a fit of mania-a-potu, drove the lad also,away. By
the advice of some neighbors, the boy started to
wards New York, to look after his mother, and was
picked up by a Jerseyman upon the Camden ferry
boat, crying with hunger and cold. Deeming it lftss
trouble to himself, perhaps, to throw the child upon
the charities of Philadelphians than to make proper
efforts to forward him to his place of destination,
the lstd was taken to “ The Northern Home for
Friendless Children,” where lie was, of course, re
ceived, and had his immediate wants supplied.

THE POLICE.
Tlie Crawford Victims.
We are gratified to say, with reference to the * ‘Clergy
man on Broad street,” who had entrusted to Crawford
(whose arrest was noticed by us yesterday) a letter, di
rected to his parents in the South,- that lie is a tho
roughly loyal citizen. The letter itself was an open one,
and entirely domestic in. character, aud the writer was
induced to commit it to Crawford by the latter’s declara
tion that he bad permission from the proper authorities
to carry it, and that it woiild be examined according to
law belore it crossed the lines. So far from being open
to suspicion for disloyalty, the clergyman in question
has tab eh the boldest ground in favor of the Govern
ment, on more than one public occasion, since the com
mencement of the war, for which, we are informed, he
has suffered the loss, by confiscation, of all his property
in the South.. :
We would also state, in this connection, that whatever
impression may have been given in the article above re
ferred to, respecting the action of such eminently re
spectable firms in this city as tliat. of Thomas Mellhr"&
Co. and Robert Pollock & Co., the members of them arc
known to be gentlemen ofundoubted loyalty, and inca
pable of doing anything, knowingly, either directly or
indirectly, against their Government. '
[Before Mr. Alderman Beitler.il
Alleged Higliway Robbery.
William H. Smith, alias Carpenter, was arrested by
Ofiicer Robinson of the 2d Division on the charge ,of
highway robbery. : The following evidence was elicited
John Stevens sworn—l am a lieutenant of the 116fch Regi
ment Pennsylvania Volunteers; was at. Sixth and St.
Mary streets about half past seven o’clock on. Wednes
day evening; I met a friend there, and with him pro
ceeded to tako'a drink; a colored woman stepped up
toward us aud commenced talking, when the defend
ant came up quickly and jerked my watch oiit, breaking
the chain The fellow then ran away, and I raised the
cry of “stop thief.” He was headed off by Ofiicer Ro
binson and arrested. The thief dropped the watch while
he was running away; it was recovered.
- The defendant was committed in default of $1,503 bail
to answer.
The Contraband-Goods.
The detectives have been busy in taking an inventory
of the four boxes of contraband goods seized as reported
yesterday.- The inventory was carefully recorded by
Mr. Buckley, tbe clerk of the detectives, down even to
one of the fifty thousand needles.
During the morning, Mr. Phillips, a shoe-dealer who
had sold an assortment of gaiters and shoes to Crawford,
called upon Chief Franklin and expressed hi.s gratifica
tion that the arrest had been made. Mr. P. said that he
made a sale in February to the same persou, outdid not
know that he was engaged in the contraband business.
In regard to tbe present property, it bad -not all been
paid for ; he supposed ho would have to put it down to
the dcbitsiile of the profit and loss account. The Chief
informed him that the goods now belonged to the United
States Government.
. The minister who also wrote a letter as mentioned
called upon the Chief and requested that it be returned.
The Chief referred him to Mayor Henry, and : the docu
ment was handed to its author.
In addition to the above we may say that the Chief has
been Hooded with written communications, some written
in a good hand, others obscure; and some, again, the
chirogvaphy of which is scarcely readable.
. : The letters all speak very vaguely or indefinitely upou--
a definite subject. We will give a few extracts as speci
mens : :
“Chief Franklin: Having seen in the papers that
vou have caught a rebel runner, allow me to say that if
you °o to , and see a woman with black bonnet and
fire-colored ribbon, you will see a rebel mail carrier. n
Another extract: \*l was told at our sewing circle last
evenin o ' that a house — is a place where people go in at
all hours, carrying bundles in and. out,.and some times
send away large wooden . boxes -in express, wagons.
Guess if you watch you’ll get more goods. •:
“ I observe in The Press tins morning an account ot
the arrest of Crawford and the seizure of goods. That’s
right, Mr. Chief, go on in the good work,, and cage aIL
the rascals. -If you send your spies to ——office, and see
a little man very fussy, watch, hismovemeats. . .
-We are requested by.the Chief to sav.that it is tho duty
of all good citizens, particularly at the present time, to
make known in person of any violation ofthe law.
Penalty of Drunkenness. .
A man giving the name of William Welsh, who claims
,to be an admirer of Jeff Davis, was arraigned at the
Central Station la*t evening. He was reeling down
Sansom street, stumbled, amt in falling, struck his bead
on a front-door scraper. He laid there for sometime, -
when the attention of a police ofiicer was called to the
fact. The prostrate man was lifted from his perilous
situation aud taken to the station bouse. He had a
pretty severe cut in the sido oflii# head, from which the
blood profusely flowed. Between the stunning effects of
the blow, as well as the liquor, ho remained insensible

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. Onr space here does not

WONDEKFUL DISCOVERY AND
II WONDERFUL RESULTS ACCOMPLISHED BY
PROF. C. H. BOLLES, 1320 WALNUT Street. -The
difference between fact and fictions, of permanently
curing the suffering of theirdwmsfi, 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 cases from
some of the most reliable gentlemen of Philadelphia, who
were permanently. cured *by Prof. C. H. BOLLES, of
1220 WALNUT Street.
Facts are stubborn things, and as evidence ia 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 lias ever performed in
this or any other city, it seems important in the present
case to offer some proofbywayof certificates from some
of the most reliable gentlemen of this city, and more
because there are some in this city wh.o have the auda
city to claim to treat according to Prof BOLLES’ dis
covery, and these same persons are really ignorant of the
Positive oT.'Negative Poles of any Electrical Machines,
and therefore, Prof. BOLLES has cautioned the sick
against trusting their health in such reckless hands.
Read the following ceTtificates'of cures of most obsti
nate diseases hy Prof. Bolles, 1220 Walnut street,
Philadelphia.
The first cure toas performed three years ago, and
continues well to this date : ■ ■■■
About nine years ago I hada severe attack of dyspeptic
symptoms, which increased on me during 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 m the
stomach, only when I ate often. - Sometimes, however,
I experienced loss of appetite, very?.alsagreeable nausea
in the stomach, pain in the epigastrum, heartburn, great
fullness about the stomach, and pain through the pyiorio
region; a feeling sometimes of great weight in' the sto
mach? collection of acidity in the stomaco, 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 inmy 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 bestmodi
cal treatment in the city. However, my-physician at
last pronounced my disease cancer in the stomach, -l
continued to be treated for whatPwas informed to be
a cancer up to the-time that Professor Bolles came to
this city and advertised hiß 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 inmy case.' I
will here state that I considered my case a hopeless one,
hut notwithstanding this, my hopes were at once re
vived, When Prof. B. frankly told me that he could
cure me in a few da} s, and I amfrank in saying that in
twelve or foui'teen treatments I was perfectly cured.
This cure to me looks mysterious, and will' ever appear
a wonder of wonders, hut.to Prof. 8.-<all seemed cer- :
, tain, as he remarked at the commencement that he knew
to a day how long it would take to produce a cure.
" lam certain of a permanent cure from the fact that
about two years have elapsed since my cure, and I have
had no symptoms of return. . I think Professor Bolles
has made a very important discovery in the application
of Electricity for the certain cure of acute and chronic
diseases, know of a great number of persons whom he
. has cured of the mostobstiuate diseases, both acute and
chronic. I have watched his success for more than two
years, and take pleasure in recommending his scientific
uiscovery to suffering humanity. I shall take pleasure
“in being referred to by the diseased. _ ; • _____ 1 :

* The following wonderful cure ..of. Epilepsy was per
formed more than eight months ago and remains -well
to this dale. ... .
Read the following attentively : •
The following is a statement of facts in reference to my
condition and astonishing cure of Epilepsy: •
For Jive years previous to my knowledge of Professor
C. H. Holies’ discbvery 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 ■hpiteptic
Pits of the most obdurate character, and had abandoned
all hopes of ever being cnred, as I had for years tried
the treatment and received the counsel of the most emi
nent Medical Men of the States, with the view of obtain
ing relief if any could be*found among the Old Schools:
hut 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 Ola
Schools.' About six months ago my mind was turned
'to investigate the new discovery of Prof. _G. H. Bol
les, 1220 Walnut street, and, after noticing several
certificates of oures’which were ana some
from persons with -whom I was Acquainted, and
knew them to be reliable _ men, I was induced to
call on the Professor, and obtain his opinion of my case.
' After he had 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, and in ease
of ft failure to charge me nothing. This at first seemed
•an impossibility; but the frankness and earnestness of
the Professor convinced me of his scientific accuracy in.
the diagnosis of my case.: He disclosed all my sufferings
and symptoms fox five years past as well as I knew them
myself. I will here state, for thugood of humanity,
-and especially those suffering aslwas, thatlam per
fectly cured. I further would state that more thanfour
months have elapsed since my enre, and I havehad no
symptoms, and, therefore, feel confident that I am cured.
1 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 cure willbe freely given to any
one at 1513 North THIRTEENTH Street, Philadelphia.
_ •_ _ _GEO-./W. FREED.
N. B.—Professor C. H. BOLLES will publish, from
time to time,certificates of the cure of chronic oasoslwhich
had resisted the treatment of the most eminent medical
menforyears- ,
please take notice that Professor B. does not-advertise
any certificates of owes, except those cured in this city,
