PARALYSIS.

M. HALSE, the MEDICAL GALVANIST, of 22,
Brunswick-square, London, earnestly recommends In-
valids and Gentlemen of the Medical profession to peruse the
following. It cannot but surprise them, and will prove to them
the all but miraculous powers of Galvanism, when applied in a
scientific manner, and with an efficient apparatus.
The following case is perhaps as remarkable a one as could
be selected, as showing the powers of Galvanism, after every
medicine, and almost every medical practitioner in Devonshire,
had been tried in vain; and as the truth of it is witnessed by a
distinguished Clergyman of the Established Church, there can,
one would suppose, be no doubt in any one's mind as to its ac-
curacy. When the patient was brought to Mr. H. his wife told
him that she could not believe that Galvanism or anything else
could possibly restore him,for his complaint had been standing
so long, and he was in such a weak state, that it would be pre-
sumptuous to expect any. benefit, particularly as he had tried
the most celebrated physicians in Devonshire, and still daily
continued to get worse. She also stated that her friends blamed
her very much for removing him from his home ; but she
could not help it ! her husband had heard of such extraordinary
cures made by Mr. H. in his complaint, that galvanized he
would be, in spite of everything. His medical man was quite
angry with him for thinking of such a thing; and when his
friends were carryi nghim from his house to the carriage, every one
appeared to be convinced that they should never see him alive
any more. But notwithstanding all the difficulties he had to
contend with, he was determined, and insisted upon being gal-
vanized. The following letter, which he sent to the editor of
the Exeter Flying I'ost, will prove the result :
OUGHT NOT GALVANISM TO BE MORE GENERALLY
RESORTED TO 7—A Letter to the Editor of the Flying Post,
by one who has derived immense benefit from the power of
the Galvanic Apparatus.
" MR. EDITOR,—A few weeks since I noticed a paragraph by
you stating that Galvanism ought to be more generally em-
ployed. I beg to state that lam precisely of the same opinion,
for I have witnessed its astonishing effects in a number of cases,
and its power has been tried practically on myself, with the
happiest results. In that paragraph I was most happy to find
favourable mention of Mr. Heise,. name. All that you have
said of him, and even more, is his due; indeed, as for myself,
I have cause to bless the day that I first placed myself under
his care. Now, sir, my case was a most deplorable one, for I
had not the least use of either arm or leg—they hung about me
like as if they did not belong to me, and the strength of my
legs was insufficint to support the weight of my body ; of
course I could not stand, and if you had offered me a thousand
guineas to move either hand but one inch from the place where
it might have been placed, I could not have done it ; not the
least command had I over my limbs. My complaint was
caused by a blow in the back. Well. as before stated, I placed
myself under Mr. Halse's galvanic treatment. I had been led
to believe that it was a dreadful operation to go through ; but
I was agreeably surprised that there was no unpleasantness at
all about it, not even enough to make a child cry, so beauti-
fully does Mr. Halse manage his battery. In three days, sir, I
could stand upon my legs, and in one week I could walk about
the house); at the same time, I also partially recovered the use
of my arms; and in six weeks, I could walk several miles in a
day, without the least assistance. Well might you ask, Ought
not galvanism to be much resorted to ?' After what I have
seen and experienced, I do consider it a shame that a portion
of the medical profession should decline to recommend their
patients to try the powers of galvanism. Perhaps I need not
state, that I had had the advice of the most celebrated physi-
cians in this country; but all the medicines which were tried
did me little or no good. I believe that Mr. Halse was as much
surprised as myself and friends, when, at the expiration of a
week, he saw that I could walk, for he did not lead me to be-
lieve that there would be such a rapid improvement. I will
state, that invalids are very much to blame if they do not give
galvanism a trial, for if it does no good, it is impossible it can do
any harm ;:but there is every probability of its doing good, for
during the time I was Under Mr. Halse's care, I noticed its
happy effects in a variety of cases, particularly sciatica, rheu-
matism, asthma, and nervousness; indeed, all his patients
were rapidly regaining their health. I only regret that I had
not applied to him earlier; I should have been many scores of
pounds in pocket had I done so. " GEORGE E. BIONELL.

Dodbrooke, near Kingsbridge, Devon."
Mr. Hulse recommends paralytic patients residing in the
country to purchase one of his Ten Gninea Portable Appara-
tuses ; as, with his instructions, they will be enabled to apply
the Galvanism themselves, without the least pain, and fully as
effective as lie could at his own residence.
Invalids are solicited to send to Mr. W. H. Halse. of 22,
Brunswick-square, London, for his pamphlet on Medical Gal-
vanism, which will be forwarded free on receipt of two postage
stamps. They will be astonished at its contents. In it will be
found the particulars of such cures in cases of asthma, rheu-
matism, sciatica, tic-doloureux, paralysis, spinal complaints,
headache, deficiency of nervous energy, liver complaints:general
debility, indigestion, stiff joints, all sorts of nervous disorders,
&c. Mr. Halse's method of applying the galvanicfluid is quite
free from all unpleasant sensation ; in fact, it is rather plea-

GRAHAM AND lIFDLEY'S ROLL COCOA.

'TESTIMONIAL FROM DR. SHERIDAN MUSPRATT,

THE DISTINGIIISHEDPHYSIOLOOICAL CHEMIST.

" I have made trial of the sample of your Roll Cocoa,*
which you sent to me for my report. It exists in the most
convenient form for either use or preservation, and is free frona
the disagreeable oil generally contained in some of the Cocoa
vended in packages, &c. It is very digestible and nutritious,
possessing a fine flavour and an agreeable aroma. A decoction
of the ' Roll Cocoa' furnishes a very palatable beverage, which
is greatly to be preferred to Tea ; and invalids should certainly
resort to it, if they seek a wholesome substitute for the Chinese
plant, so often pernicious in consequence of its ascescent na-
ture. I have submitted the ' Roll Cocoa' to qualitative and
quantitative analyses, with various dissolving menstrua ; and
I find it contains in a high degree those ingredients subservient
to the production of animal fibre. It affords much more vege-
table matter than the Cocoa usually sold, which augments its
tonic properties, and is a proof of its superiority and purity.

GRAHAM AND HEDLEY'S ROLL COCOA is sold by all
respectable Grocers and Tea-dealers.

ZINC SE HATHING.

THE VIELLB MONTAGNE COMPANY beg to
call the attention of Shipowners to the advantages of their
ZINC SHEATHING. _

Upwards of 2000 Foreign Vessels are sheathed with Zinc,
1400 of which are registered in the Fruncli Lloyd's Book enti-
tled" Veritas," (see Company's Pamphlet,) and it is found to
last from four to six years.
More than 100 Vessels have been sheathed with Zinc in this
country within the last twelve months, a number of which
were formerly sheathed with Galvanized Iron.
The price of Zinc Sheathing is now under 21d. per lb., and
it is applied the same weight as Copper or Yellow Metal, and,
unliike them, loses very little in weight. It is worth about 50
per cent. when stripped off; Galvanized Iron, on the other
hand, is worth nothing, and it may new be said to be disused
for Ships' Sheathing, after having had a fair trial. During the
above-named period, only about one tenth (if so many) of the
number of Vessels sheathed with Zinc have been sheathed with.
Galvanized Iron, and those mostly small Craft.
ZINC throughout is a pure metal, which is the reason it is so
valuable when old metal ; while Galvanized Iron (so called) is
Sheet Iron dipped in Zinc. Intact, the one may be compared
to Silver, and the other to a Plated Article.
The VIELLE MONTAGNE COMPANY beg to refer parties, for
further particulars. to their Agents, Messrs. E. ZWILCHEN-
BART and Co., and to
JOHN HAMILTON, JUN.,
Derby-buildings, Liverpool.
N.B.—The VIELLE MONTAONE COMPANY beg to give
Notice, that certain Parties interested in the manu acture of
Galvanized Iron for Sheathing purposes, have issued an Ad-
vertisement, conveying the erroneous impression that the Ship
rEolus had lost some of her Zinc Sheathing, in consequence of
the expansion of that metal, which is not the fact. The CEolus
lost some of her Sheets in consequence of the Nails being
bad ; and for the truth of this statement the Vielle Montagne
Company beg. to refer to the Captain, to Messrs. W. B. Jones
and Co., Shipbuilders, Liverpool, and to the Owner, Gore
Booth, Esq. The Vielle Montagne Company regret that seve-
ral Vessels were sheathed about the same time with the same
description of Nails.
The object of the Parties above referred to is too apparent to
need further comment. _ _ _ _

The VIELLE MONTAGNE COMPANY also beg to caution Par-
ties using their Zinc Sheathing from coating it with any pre-
parations of the Oxide of Copper.

DIETETIC COCOA.

LTOWEOPATHIIC PATIENTS, DYSPEPTICS,
11 and Persons of Delicate Constitutions are strongly re-
commended to use TAYLOR BROTHERS' DIETETIC
COCOA, as being very superior to any preparation of the Cocoa
Nut hitherto introduced. This article is manufactured on a
peculiar principle, by which the oily portions of the nut are
neutralized, at the same time its flay mir, purity, and nutritious
properties are maintained. It is an essential article of diet for-
those under Homoeopathic Treatment, agrees with the most
delicate digestive organs, is agreeable and soothing to the ner-
vous system, and proves at the same time both invigorating
and refreshing.

Tea-dealers in the kingdom ; of whom also may be had
TAYLOR BROTHERS' original SOLUBLE COCOA (only one-
third the price of Coffee), the consumption of which article
exceeds ONE MILLION POUNDS per annum—a fact whia
has induced many parties to manufacture spurious imitations,

totally devoid of the essential and peculiar properties of the
original and only genuine article. To guard against these
counterfeits, TAYLOR BROTHERS recommend the purchase
of their article in packets only which bear their name, with
directions for use. Sold by all Grocers'and Tea-dealers.

and Oilmen in the Kingdom ; and Wholesale by TAYLOR.
