" The aim of the author is to present a common-sense view
of the Causes, Nature, Consequences, and Treatment of this
Disease, as also to free these questions from the Professional
Fallacies, the Popular Delusions, and the exaggerations of
Quackery by which they have hitherto been surrounded, to the
destruction of the health and happiness of thousands. These
objects are discussed in a common-sense and highly practical
manner."—Medical Circular.

ELECTRICAL INFLUENCE IN HEALTH AND
DISEASE.

Just Published, price Is., free by Post for Fourteen Stamps,
SECOND LIFE : or ELECTRICAL NERVOUS
FORCE ; a MEDICAL WORK, intended for the special
perusal of all who are suffering from the various forms of
NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, and the distress-
ing ulterior consequences to which they lead; with practical
Observations on the great Curative power of ELECTRO-
GALVANISM in the treatment of these Disorders, by infus-
ing tone and vigour in constitutions relaxed or debilitated
from various enervating causes. Illustrated with Cases com-
piled from the Note-book of a Registered Medical Practi-
tioner of twenty years' standing.
Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which
commends itself to the medical matt as being accordant with
the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious
indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and
Nervous energies are identical; hence, that when the latter
fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre-
gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili-
tated, paralysed, or, exh'austed, and the patient brought to a
condition little short of total prostration, then by the action
of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical
treatment; he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta-
blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of
SECOND LIFE.

FACTS and OPINIONS TENDING to PROVE the NE-
CESSITY of LEGALISING MARRIAGE with a DE-
CEASED WIFE'S SISTER.
Tohe Bible, the Bible only, is the religion of Protestants.
Whatsoever else they believe beside It, and the plain irrefra-
gable, indubitable consequences of it, well may they hold it as
a matter of opinion. I will take no man's liberty of judgment
from him ; neither shall any man take mine from me. '—
Chillingworth.

" Bad laws are the worst sort of tyranny. In such a coun-
try as this, they are of all bad things the worst—worse by
far than anywhere else ; and they derive a peculiar malignity
from the wisdom and soundness of the rest of our institu-
tions."—Burke.
