STATUS INFORMATION,
The information supplied by these Offices is of such a character so searching—positive—and decisive, as ha
never before been attained,—while:the attention to minutire and detail has been as nervously apprehensive and
sympathetically prehensile, as if the stake and risk were ours instead of the subscriber's.
The manner in which our information has been received will be best understood when We state that the turnover
for our subscribers from January to December, 1875, was £6,481,003.
ear Subscription, £4 81 40 inquiries on Great Britain. Cheque books free. £3 :3s. Subscription for Foreign
Inquiries, and Fee in addition, as par tarriff—to be had on application.

/t is suprising (something greviou4 every year to see the amount of money—good money, or ought to be—that
Is lost to Creditors through their inability to follow up a Debtor (in consequence of being unable or unwilling to
afford the time to leave their business, or having tried (and most probably ineffectually) to recover it, have become
thoroughly sick of the affair I) The Debtor, in most cases, knows and relies upon this and cakulates that he will
eventually tire his Creditor out.
DEBT COLLECTING.—The system adopted by these Offiees is the most peremptory and saccessfal ever
submitted to the Public. Immediate application to Debtor prompt remittance to Creditor. Reports on unpaid
debts every month. Statement with every remittance, so that Creditor can post direct to his Ledger.

Approved by:fhe Academy of Medicine of Paris

Electricity, the prime actor in the process of life,
pervades all living organism, and its identity with
nerve force is no:conjuncture, but a positive scien-
tific fact, known to all versed in the teachings o
Electro-phyisology.
Consequently in nervous exhaustion, local debility
and various functional disorders it is Nature's sole

this wonderful physical agent has become easy and
agreeable to the patient, and accessible to all by the
recent improvements.
In contradistinction to those unprincipled adver-
tisers who publish statements solely on their own
authority, Mn. PULVERIIICHER refrains from putting
forward any statements of his own in favour of his
