DR. A. II CHRIsTIE--Dear Sir: You wish to know of
me what has been the result i'm my case, of the
application of THE GALVANIC BELT AND NECK.
LACE. My reply is as follows:
For about twsnty years | had been suffering from
Dyspepsia. Every year the symptoms became worse,
nor could obtain permanent relief from any
of medical treatment whatever About fourteen years
since in consequence of frequent exposure to the
weather, in the discharge of my pastoral duties
became subject to q Chronic Rheumatism which
for year after year. caused indescrbable anguish.
Farther in the winter of AS and '46, in conse.
quence of preaching great deal in my and
various other churches in this region was attacked
by the Bronchitis, which became
to require an immediate suspension Of my pastoral
labors. My system thoroughly pros
t"ated, and my Bronchitis became worse also did
my Dyspepsia and Rheumatic afection-thus eyncing
that these disorders connected with each other
through the medium of the Nervous System. In the
whole pharmacopna there seemed to be no remedial
agent which could reach and recuperate my Nervous
System thing that had tried for this purpose had
completely failed At last led by my friends to
guine hopes of their efficiency determined to try the
effect of the application of the GALVANlC BELT AND
NECKLACE, with the MAGNETIC FLUID. This was
in June, 1916 To GREAT ADJOURNMENT, IN TWO
DYSPEPSIA GONE IN EIGHT DAYS WAS

From Mayti.

Port au Prince, March 5.-Within
fhe last few weeks a very deep laid
plot has been discovered, which had
for ITS end the. dethronement of the
Emperor, the overthrow ofthe pres
ent Government, and the establish
ment of another more mild and Re-
publican in its form.
Mr.. t'rancisque, Chief Justice of
the Empire, is implicated in the con-
splracy, has been arrested and com
mltted to prison; and if there should
appear sufficient proof of his connec-
ton with the affair, he will most
probably be shot with several others.
The Minister of Finance, M. Sa-
IIoma, has already been, or is soon to
be superseded; and none of the old
ministry will remain, IN office except
M. Duhere, Minister of Foreign Re-
lations.
There has been commission ap-
pointed to meet the agent of the three
commercial powers, who held con-
ference this day with them; but, as
Tar as is known, to very little. effect.
The Emperor is very unwilling to
give up what he considers to be a
part ofthc Empire of Hayti.
The market for American cargoes
such as are usually brought here, is
more favorable than it has been for
soale time past.
Coffee, the principal article of ex-
port comes in more freely. The
crop, however, will fall considerably
short OF the average of former years,
and coffee, consequently, will bear a
nigh price here throughout the sea
