IMPORTANT TESTIMONIAL,
HUNDREDS

SELECTED FROM SOMI

FROM MR. MURLEY, LATE A PRACTITIONER IN CHELTENHAM.
" Huntley, Gloucestershire, 3rd November, 1848.
" DEAR KEATINO,-It affords me much pleasure to learn
that the sale of your Cough Lozenges is so extensive. Being
acquainted with their composition, I am fully persuaded of
their efficacy for promoting gentle expectoration, and allaying
pulmonary irritation. In cases of Catarrhal disorder, it is
most desirable to combine a class of medicines which may
calm without the deleterious effects of Opium, and this deside-
ratum is, I believe, effected by the ingredients in your Cough
Lozenges. I well remember the very high opinion which a late
eminent Surgeon of one of our London Hospitals had of this
preparation ; he frequently told me that it was the only medi-
cine which afforded relief to his wife, who had suffered for
many years from Asthma.

"Yvon consider the testimony of a retired Practitioner
(after thirty-six years of extensive practice) of any advantage,
you are quite welcome to avail yourself of this recommenda-
tion. With best wishes,.

"Believe me, dear Keating, faithfully yours,
H. MURLEY

cough. First soothing the glottis and epiglottis (the organ' 01

of the windpipe unto the bronchii, allaying pulmonary irrils"

to its accustomed clearness and power.

DEFICIENCY OF NERVOUS ENERGY.
GALVANISM THE SUREST CURE FOR IT.
WHAT IS " DEFICIENCY OF NERVOUS
ENERGY ?" It is a withdrawal of-rreivous fluid front
any particular muscle or organ affected. For instance, sun'
pose the stomach is so weak that cannot digest food, the
stomach is then deficient of nep,6us energy, for expPriment:
made on animals prove that if,the nerves which lead from the
spine to the stomach are se rated, so as to cut off the supply
of nervous fluid, all dig ion ceases on the instant. Agin!',
suppose any muscle or bso weak that it cannot perform t
functions, that muse or limb is deficient of nervous energy'
We may pursue th same reasoning as regards the brain, and
hence the reason f lowness of spirits, want of resolution, tor
por of all the • tellectualrowers, loss of memory, &c. TM
question whi now arises is this,—" Can Galvanism supply "7
various or s with nervous energy when they are deficient o_,
it?" To reply to this question we must go to experiment'
facts—facts so well authenticated, that no physiologist of 0°
present day denies them. The following experiment is conch'
sive, and will convince the most sceptical that Galvanism 00r,
not only supply the place of the nervous fluid, but that the ga,,,
vanic fluid and the nervous fluid is one and the same thing. JP
Dr. Wilson Phillip's celebrated work, entitled "An Engulf/
into the Laws of the Vital Functions," several experiments,
similar to the following one, were made in order to decide 0,8
long-disputed question as to whether the galvanic fluid Was
identical with the nervous fluid. Three dogs were procuren
and kept without food for a certain time, when they were at'
lowed to eat as much as they felt inclined to. On two of the
dogs, the operation was performed of dividing the eighth pall
yes, in order to prevent the flow of nervous influence to

the stor

of the experiment. A stream of galvanic fluid was now passed
through the divided nerves of one of the dogs, and, at the es-
piration of four hours, the three dogs were killed. On examilr,
mg the stomach of the non-galvanised dog, not a particle ob
food was digested; whilst the food of the galvanised dog Pre-/
rented exactly the same appearance as that in the stomach
the dog which had not had the operation performed of dividl
the nerves. Such experiments as these must come home to fb
conviction of the most sceptical ; for nothing can be a MI
convincing proof that the galvanic fluid and the nervous
is the same thing, and that the galvanic battery, whenpropeN
,
applied, will cure those complaints properly styled a dello;
enry of nervous energy." Invalids in the country are informeli
that I continue to supply my Por.able Galvanic Apparatus $

enabled to apply the Galvanism just as effectually as they cotd,

parties against using those small electro-magnetic apparatur,
having only one or two pair of plates, for their constant effect lb'
