triyance, the discovery of the Doctors HAD.
FIELD, of Cincinnati, for creating diseases
BY vacuum" attracted considerable attention,
aud ELECTED endless speculation, among our
citizens the last week. 1t was put in opera
ton at the Carter House, and as the expert
ments were gratuitous-the object being the
sale of the Instruments numerous host of
the halt, lame and blind, with which our
town is unfortunately afflicted, wendell their
way thither, to try the effect of the s'equali-
ger" pain .relever, blood diffuser, or what>
ever else it might be termed. The inventors
claim to have demonstrated the fact that
Paralysis, Nervous Debility, Dyspepsia, Neu-
ralgia, weak Chests, weak, stiff and shrunken
Limbs, Curvatures of the Spine, and other
spinal affections, rheumatism, impotency and
all kinds of weaknesses of the generative or

assisting in carrying off the waste matter
from the system, as we'll new matter to
every part Of the human body"
Those experimental upon were suffering
under some one or more of the above all
ments, and number profess to very great
relief from its application. That it will re-
lieve pain for the time being, the writer of
this can bear testimony; whether in deep
seated diseases it will be permanent, time
alone determine. Realizing it's equal
izing and curative qualities and believing it
to be discovery of paramount importance to
the afflicted of people, Messrs. Hawks,
Weller and Lack land, at quite a considerable
expenditure, purchased the right of use for
this county. a complete set of instruments
will at once be procured from the manufac-
turers, and the whole matter put in charge of
DR.. G. T. Richardson. The patentees will
soon fully make known the object and scope
of their design, and set forth more fully than
we lave done, what they in verify believe to
