second outline is only to show how to

make square of s inches, one-half, or

that it does fit into the parallelogram.

7, A competent medical electrician must have d thorough knowledge of anatomy and physiology, and must have made Disease Il study.
 Not every one who happens to possess an electrical battery, can apply electric ity understandinsly and with beneficial results. .''' ''r
 There nre those who pretend to be medical electricians, who know no more about tho nature of electricity than does child, and whose knowledge of anato- my and physiology has not begun to manifest itself; but though such persons happen, occasionally, to effect q cure they know not how-thc benefit to the few is more than countcrbalanced by the injury to the many, so it is evident that persons who desire electrical treat mcnt, should go only to the skitLed ope- rator whose reputation as such cannot be disputed.
 Dr. J. D. s. SMITH has had nine years experience as a medical electri elan, five. of which were with the late Dr. $. W. Beckwith of Phila., whose practice was the most extensive of any medical electrician in America, and the remaining four years of constant prac- tice have been in Bridgeport where hundreds of patients gan testify as to his ability as fur as their owH cases are concerned. l'
 The Dr. has, at considerable expense, fitted up his offices, with all the conve- niencies requisite for 4the thorough ap- plication of electricity, and during the last four years he has, by close applica- tion to his profession. and his untiring efforts to ameliOrate tho condition of his patients. built up large and constantly increasing practice. His charges arc reasonable, and are not varied from ex- cept to the poor. Many persons have given up. hope, when thes. could have been cured by electricity in skilled hands, so 1t Is important that those sui fering with nervous and chronic diseas- os should call on Dr. Smith for consul tation. which Is always free, and find out whether their cases do not admit of euro. If not. they will be frankly told 50.

A safe Investment.

Mr. w G. Steel has been canvassing
among our citizens for few days for sub
scription to stock in a gas company for this
city. He holds out very strong inducements
to stockholders, and by actual figures shows
chat it would pay good interest on the
money invested from the start. The gentle
man who proposes to do the work is an old
hand at the business and would put up better
works than can be found anywhere in our
State, as all the modern improvements would
be added We would like very much to see
this undertaking succeed, as it would be a
substantial improvement, an ornament to cur
city, and great convenience to the people.
Our Tnoneyod men will do well to look into
the matter
