cases given up as incurable His treatment 10
peculiar TO himself, although there have been
men in all ages who have had the same magnet
&c power over the diseases OF the body and
mind Some call il the Gift of Healing, > yet
few have possessed il to such an extent over
nearly all diseases and persons. IL is a life and
Vitality passed from q strong, healthy body TO
weak one, that restores the lost or unequal cir
culation OF the vital or nervous fluid. SO power
FIJI is this influence that persons who have for
many years suffered from diseases which have
been pronounced incurablo, and 10 whom medi.
cine has been administered with no good effect,
have been restored to health in an Incredibly
short space Of time. It will not restore lost
member of the body or perform other impossi.
bilities, but it will always relieve pain, from
whatever cause. The practice Is based upon
the most strict principle of science; there 10
nothing miraculous or supernatural about il
1t is in harmony with all natural laws. Many
eminent physicians Of other practices, not only
acknowledge this power, but receive the treat
ment for themselves and families as well sad.
wise ii to their patients. DR.. DODGE does not
profess 10 cure every case.
By this treatment IL takes but few minutes
for inveterate cases Of almost any durable chron.
ic disease and 30 sure is the effect that but few
diseases require second operation, except Deaf.
ness, Broken Bones, Dislocations bad Curyatures
Of Spine, and SuppuratiDg Tumors. Even these
will be much NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. relieved from
pain and sometimes fully cured. Diseases that
are most certain Of being cured at one operation

Report ON the New Orleans RiOis--FF0ia
Cane Haytfen and san Domingo.

New York, August 2S.-A Times New
Orleans special SAYS: The commissioners
appointed BY Gen. BAIRD to investigate the
late riot, have completed their labors. Their
report will show that the first shot was fired
from revolver in the hands Of white man
at the procession of freedmen. Twenty
minutes then expired before any further dis
turbance took place. When the procession
reached the place where the Convention was
in session, the police in,erfered with it. and
fred upon the freedmen, who returned the
fire. A mob of citizens joined the police,
and the massacre commenced. IL also shows
that several policemen hid their badges, so
as not to be recognized. Affer entering the
hall, they disregarded the white flag, and
fred indiscriulinaiely upon the Hnarmed
members Of the convention and spectators.
Some Of the citizens wore badges, indicating
an organization. Those in the room, then,
with chairs, etc, drove the police and the
attacking party out and barricaded the doors.
Afser the barricade was established, not .
single person in the building escaped unhurt,
and shout thirty were murdered; and yet
credit is given to the poiice for saving the
lives Of ali who we're in the building and
are not dead.
