The following note was received this morning from
ex-sheriif Stryker. We met him in Fulton street,
limping along by the aid of cane, and on inquiry,
found he suffering from severe attack of rheu-
matism Having heard much said Of the efficacy of
the Galvanic Plaster in such cases, and being in
posses sion of one, with no pains to be aleviaed--
except the pain Of having an empty purse which the
dwelling, procured the Gavanic and presented it to
our friend, with the request to acquan us with the
result the next time we met Not having seen him
since, we suppose he was too much eated to wait
an interview, and sent us the following note. We
know not whether we shall be doing right to publish
it, but take the responsibility for the benefit OF others
who are suffering from the distressing nalady rheu-
niatism.
