NO. VI.-THE OBSERVZR.

The Observer is the property of Mr. Clement, the
owner of Bell's Life in London. The Observer is a
journal which publishes no country edition on the Sa-
turday, but appears on the Sunday morning, and is
chiefly circulated amongst the upper classes. Great ex-
pense is incurred in obtaining the very latest intelligence
up to the hour of going to press : thus if any event of
importance occur in London or it 9 vicinity, even so late
as twelve o'clock on Saturday night, or very early on
the Sunday morning, the Observer will be sure to record
it. And this is not done in a few words : the most mi-
nute details relative to the occurrence—be it an acci-
dent, an offence, or any event of moment—will be given
with the mention of the fact. The reader of the daily
journals on the Monday morning will invariably per-
ceive numerous quotations from the Observer.
The circulation of this journal is not extensive. It is
now under 5,000. Its advertisements are however nu-
merous and well paid ; and it is an especial organ for
the insertion of " Births," " Deaths," and " Marriages."
The principal editor is Mr. Doxat, a gentleman of
extensive information, great experience and considerable
learning. Mr. James Grant, the celebrated author of
" Random Recollections of the Lords and Commons,"
" Impressions of Ireland," &c., is one of the chief writers
engaged upon THE OBSERVER. The notices of new
works and theatrical reviews in this journal are written
with great talent and impartiality, and are quoted as
good authority.

GALVANIC RINGS (GALVANISM.

TO THE EDITOR- OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In all ages and in all times something or other
very wonderful has been put forth by doctors in order
to create mystery and confusion in the public mind as
regards the cure of disease. Under their patronage we
have of late years had Homoeopathy and Animal Mag-
netism. Is it therefore to be wondered at that persons
should take advantage of the gross ignorance which they
know pervades society as regards the healing art, and
that to make money they should bring forth such things
as galvanic rings for the cure of diseases ? But, we ask,
who are the responsible parties for such delusions ?
Why, doctors, because they not only themselves set the
example directly, but foster them by their false teaching
in the medical schools ! Let us ask one more question.
Could any Hygeist be imposed upon by such quackeries
as Animal Magnetism, Homoeopathy, or galvanic rings?
Most assuredly not, and for this reason, that the
TT •

Hygeian system leaches him the nature and functions of
his body, and he knows that in order to eradicate disease
of any kind, he must cleanse his body and purify his
blood by proper purgatives, and since Animal Magne-
tism, Homoeopathy, galvanic rings, or the other charms
cannot do this, he is satisfied that they must be delu-
sions. Doctors also take advantage of such impositions
as galvanic rings in this way. When a patient com-
plains of having derived no benefit from them, oh they
say, " Why don't you place yourself under a regular
medical man, and don't meddle with quackery ?" when, in
truth and in fact, they themselves are the supporters
of it.—We are, Sir, your obedient servant,
MORRISON AND MOAT,
For and on behalf of the body of Hygeists.

He contrives by this means to accommodate an increas-
ing number of men, and the only practicable limit to
that number is the want of more standing or
sitting room, as the case may be. He warms
these rooms by a stove, by steam, or by hot air, and
lights them with gas the consequence is,
that the workmen are exposed at the same time to a
high temperature, and a foul and stagnant atmosphere.
This combination is carried to its highest degree in
tailors' workshops, and I have been told more than once
by the journeymen tailors themselves, that they
have been obliged to strip to the very skin, that
they might be able to bear the intense heat
to which they are exposed. In buildings intended
for workshops more space is given to the
men, but they are usually constructed on very bad
principles ; the whole buildin often forming one space,
g
divided by floors, perforated by a common staircase ; if
a steam-engine is employed, it is generally to be found
in a lower apartment of this building, so that the heat
rises from this into the upper rooms, and, mingling with
the foul air of the intermediate floors, ascends to the
highest flat, where the hot and foul air collects in great
abundance.--Medical Times.
DEAFNESS—ACOUSTIC INSTRUMENTS.-39, Albe-
marle-street, Piccadilly.—lnvisible Voice Conductors,
when fixed in the cavity of the ears, are not more uncom-
fortable nor perceptible than having a small piece of ,
wool in its place. They enable individuals at an ad-
vanced age, and of forty or fifty years' standing of ex-
treme deafness, instantly to join in general conversation,
and to catch the sound of a distant, low speaker, at
church, theatre, &c. They pour the conversation into
the ears to such an extent, that in most severe cases
deafness cannot be observed. Also original Ear Cor-
nets, French, German, and Spanish Artificial Ears, and
improved Hearing Trumpets of every description. Many
of those instruments have received the approbation of
the Royal Society and Royal Institution of Great Bri-
tain. The Newly Invented Spectacles, immediately
they are placed before extremely imperfect vision, it
is brought to its youthful, natural, and original state.
Also Achromatic Telescopes, Opera-glasses, Micro-
scopes, &e.—Caution : Messrs. S. and B. Solomons,
Opticians and Aurists, are not in any
way connected with

bourhood, nor in any part of the country. To prevent
