try. The medical faculty constitutes an anomaly
in this or any other counry--all of them are able
lecturers and the best of teachers.

have no doubt as to the eligibility of situation
for nm enterprise of the kind As to health, inclu-
ding all seasons of the year, we deny that any

A common error exists in the minds Of many
students relative to the place of studying medicine;
those who intend practcing among the diseases of
the West and South should certainly educate them
selves ut a school whose Faculty ore practically
acquainted with those diseases
That the public may he satisfied of the perma-

CURE OF
Rheumatism, Bronchitis and Dyspepsia.

d. A. H. CnarsrIE-Dear Sir: You wish to know
OF what has been the result in my own case OF the
application Of THE GALYANIC BELT AND NECK.

For about tveniy years had been suffering from
Dyspepsia. Every year the symptoms became worse,
nor could obtain permanent ree from any course of
medical treatment: whatever. About fourteen years
since IN consequence OF frequent exposure TO the
weather, in the discharge Of my pastoral duties be-
came subject TO O severe Chronic Rheumatism, which
for year after year, caused me ndescribable anguish
Farther: in the winter Of 45 and 46, in consequence
Of preaching great deal in my own ana various o.
other churches in this region, was attacked BY the
Bronchitis which became so severe as to require
an immediate suspension of my pastoral lanors' hIy
system now thoroughly Frosrated and es
my Bronchitis became also did my Dyspepsia
and Rhe2matic afection-thus evincing that these
disorders were connected with each other through the
medium Of the Nervous System. In the Whole
pharmucopnia there seemed to be no remedial agent
which could reach and recuperate my Nervous Sys,
tenn every thing that had tried for this purpose hod
completely failed At last was led BY my friends
to examine your inventions, and Qhough with no very
sangune hopes Of their eiciency3 determined to try
the effect Of the application Of the GALvANiC BELT
AND NECKLACE, with the MAGNETIC FLUID.

To illustrate the use OF the GALVANIC BELT,
suppose the case Of person afflicted with that bans

Nervous Disorder. In ordinary cases, stmulanh are
taken. which, by their action on the nerves and
muscles Of the stomach, afford temporary relief but
which leave the patient in lower state, and with
injured faculties after the action thus excited has
ceased Now compare this with the effect resulting
from the application Of the GALVANlC BELT. Take
O Dyspeptic sufferer even in the worse symptoms OF
an attack, and simply tie the Belt around the body
using the Magnetic Fluid as directed. In shor
period the insensibe perspiration will act on the
positive element Of the Belt thereby causing Gal
vanc circulation which will pass on to the negative,
and thence back again to the positive. thus Keeping
up a continuous Garanic circulation throughout the
system. Thus the most severe cases Of DiSrEpSlh

At that time the petitioner was in embarrassed cir
cumstances, and the respondents, an act OF relief

child Of their deceased daughter, took the child to
bring up as their own, with the consent Of the petit

contributed nor offered to contribute anything
towards her supports but, in the meantime, has mar

one now claimed by him. And further, during the
ten years he made claim to the possession Of the
child. He is now, howev in better circumstances
than he was when he gave her up to the resPon-
dents. On the other hani, the respondents are
better able to make provision for the child and all
the circumstances tend to show that they will con-
tinue to deal with her their own, as they always
have done since she lived with them. The child is
also much attached to them, and regards them as
her parents, in fact. Although both parties are
respectable and no question arose as to the fitness
of either party to have the custody Of the child,
the Chief Justice was clearly of opinion, upon a
consideration of all the facts that the interests of
the child would be best secured by allowing her to
remain with her grand parents; and he was further
of opinion, that they had acquired some right
to her, while the petitioner had, in fact, waived his
parental right to her custody, by having abandoned
her to the respondents, to be maintained and sup
ported by them for so long time. He had left her
to form new ties, which had proved to be of advan-
tage to her, and would prove permanently so, and
and respect the force those ties coupled, they
were, with her comfort and interest. Looking,
therefore, to her welfare and happiness, his honor
decided against granting the application of the petit
toner for decree requiring the respondents to give
the child up to him.-Bost0n Post, dug. %.
