DIR. D0dge's Practice is mostly diseases of a
Chronic nature, aud cases given up as incurable.
his treatment is peculiar to himself although there
have been men in all ages who have bad the same
Magnetic Power over the diseases of the body and
mind. Some call it the "GIFT OF HEALING" yet
few have possessed it to such extent over nearly
all diseases and persons. 1t is lie and vitality
passed from strong, healthy body to weak one,
that restores the lost or unequal circulation of the
vital or nervous fluid. So powerful is this influence,
that persons who have tor many years suffered from
diseases which have been pronounced neurable and
10 whom medicine has been administered with no
good effect, have been restored to health in an in
credible short space of time. 1t will not restore a
lost member OF the body, or perform other mpossi-
bilities, but it will always relieve PAIN from what
ever cause. The practice is blsed upon the most
strict principles of seience there is nothing miracu-
lous or supernatural about it, it is in harmony with
all natural laws. Many eminent physicians Of other
practices not only acknowledge this power, but re-
cevc the treatment for themselves and families as
well as advise it to their patients.
BY this treatment it takes but a few minutes for
nveterate OF almost any durable Chronic dis
ease and so sure is the effect that but few diseases
require second treatment, except Deafness, Broa-
en- Bones, Dslocation, Bad Curvature OF the Spine
and Suppuratng TumOrs. .t B.

tive agency OF this method, as practiced by US,

The NoBwALK (CT.) BANK RopBERY--It
now appears that the rogues who robbed the
National Bank at Norwalk, CT, on Thursday
night, secured upwards of 100000 as their
booty. The Hartford Times gives the follow

The bank had Just been provided with new
safe, and also new locks of the most approved
kind. The outer door was forced open with
Instruments, and the safe blown open with
powder-the doors of the outer and inner vault
| being first blown open. The heavy iron door
OF the inner vault lay out upon the floor

So, 600 in bonds and securities; perhaps little
less. The bank is liable for some OF the stolen
securities, which were pledged as collaterais.

AN EXPLOsION.-Ye esterday after-
noon, while b1r. George Dedrich was
engaged in stamping letters in the
postofice, a terrific explosion follow
ed the blow struck upon one in a
white envelope, blowing the end out,
and burning his face and neck very
considerably. Upon investigation, it
was ascertaine1 that the writer,
lady, had enclosed a number of per-
cussion fuses for a toy pistol, in the
letter, intended for a little boy resid-
ing in Evansville, with the evident
expectation that they would not ex-
plode until he should receive them.
Nearly all the clerks IN the postofice
have smelled gunpowder, but this ex-.
plosion created a decided sensation.
Another letter directed in the same
hand to a person in Chicago, and
which was somewhat scorched by the
explosion, was handled very tenderly,
and laid up for further advices, the
writer being notified in the meantime
Of the result of her experiment. 1t
was exceedingly fortunate that the
explosion occurred before the letter
was placed IN the mail bag, as It
would almost certainly have hap
pened at some point before reaching
its destination, and an entire mail
might have been destroyed thereby

law has heretofore been Indifferent

and then shoot him down in cold
