JACK FROST.
“0,ho! 00, ho!" quoth old Jack Frost,
As he sped on his wint'ry way;
As be langhed, delighted,
As he mpped and btshlod
The things men deemed most gay,
He made the old oak, and the poplar tall,
Bend low at his stormy blast,
And the last yellow leaves to quiver and full
Before his might as he passed.
“0,ho! O, ho!" quoth old Jack Frost,
As he looked at the farmer’s fireside,
Aud saw the huge log
On the bright iron dog,
And a flagon and tankard beside;
And heard ttc gay jest, and the loud merry laugh,
As they trill'd forth their Christmas rhymes.
How happy they grew as the liquor they'd quafi—
Jack gave a hazza for old times!
“0, ho! 0, ho!" quoth old Jack Frost,
As a nobleman's home he passed through,
And saw turkey and chine,
And brandy and wine:
~ #These, indeed, are rare times for you !"
And the rich man dozed in his easy arm-chair,
Aund his fire blazed fiercely and bold ;
But he never thought one morsel to spare,
For those that were hungry and cold.
0, ho! O, ho ! sighed old Jack Frost,
* As he looked in the poor man’s hut;
Dark, dirty, and drear,
And no fire to cleer,
Without window or door that would shut!
And a half-elad mother her ctildren cuddied,
To give warmth to the nestling brood
And the little ones eried, as together they huddled,
“Oh, mother pray give ns some food !"
“0, ho! O, ho!" sighed old Jack I'rost,
At a sight he loved not to see, o
For paupers he saw,
Coundem'd by the law,
To feast upon skilhgalee.
And he heard the poor wretchesrefused even that,
By the flint-hearted over seer.
He believed not their tale, as cozy he sat,
Their heart-rending cases to hear,
“0, ho! O, ho!" doled forth Jack Frost,
As Le went fur and wide through all parts;
“T came here to see,
Mirth, comfort, and glee,
Not to deaden and freeze up men's hearts,
I'll leave the world to the bright sun's beam,
Whose brilliance I laugh'd at before
And may the gay warmth of its genial gleam,
Cause the rich to remember the poor.”

From the Spirit of the Timnes.
Practical Jokers in the Army.
BY N. C: M. I
Ned C. was a young and merry Sub, of the
—th Infantry, and what is termed in the Ay
my ‘‘aclever fellow.” It is true that Ned
was somewhat given to * keeping his spirits
up by pouring spirits down,” especially when
stationed at an out-post; but he never would
have been called an intemperate man,
At the time of iny story, the detachment of
the Army to which Ned belonged occupied a
post on the South-Western f(rontier, and
might be said to be in close quarters ; as the
officers and men, from the crowded state of
the garrison, were reduced to less than half
the allowance of eating and sleeping room au
thorized by regulations. T'o this arrange
ment was Ned indebte? for thie sncicty of the
post, who shared with him the comforts and
conveniences of an apartment twelve feet
square.
The Doctor. actuated by feelings of regard
for Ned's well-being, (it may have been with
an eye to his own quiet and repose,) was in
the Liabit of administering to him, occasionally,
a dose of good advice, and remonstrating with
kilm on the impropriety of staying out late at
might, getting * tight,” and coming home
“‘disturbing people after they had gone to
bed ;" all of which Ned took very patiently,
but without mending his ways. The Doc
tor, finding that it was utterly useless to ap-
Keal to Ned's sense of propriety, with the
ope of effecting a change in his mode of life,
began to address himself to his fears.
“ Ned,” said he, *if you don't stop this
frolicking, and drinking, and spreeing, you'll
get the dropsy—l know you wili—aud you'll
die spite o't?;he d—l! lyloll you once for all
to stop ity for if you get the dropsy on your
chest, you are a gone sucker! all the medi
cine in my chest won't save you! No, sir,
burnt brandy won't save you !"
The Doctor chid in vain—in vain did he
continue to enumerate the various cases of
hard drinking terminating in dropsy that had
come under his observation since he had been
a member of the Medical Staff—Ned was in
corrigible,
As the lectures on temperance, and the ter
rible pictures of disease and death, from in
dulgeuce in strong drink, hell up to his view,
were of no avail in exciting his fears, the Doe
tor was about to despair of ellecting a reform,
when it was brought about, for a time in the
following manner,
As usual, late one night, Ned came home
z:c:iy glorious, singing at the top of his voice,
and winding up each verse of his song with a
whoop, loud enough to * wake up half crea
tion.” After making several lurches towards
the door, he succeeded in eutering, and in the
vain attempt of disencumbering himself of
coat and boots, at the same moment made a
pitch forward, and lighted with his head
against the short-ribs of his sleeping room
mate. The Doctor's bowels of compassion
were sadly disturbed; however, afier venting
on the head of his falling friend a few hearty
curses, he kivdly assisted him in divesting
himself of his clothes, and saw him decent
iy laid out on his mattrass.
Next morning, as soun as it was light, the
Doctor possessed himself of the sleeper’s pan
taloons and drawers, and, with the assistance
of the hospital matron, had them neatly ta
ken in about four inches in the waist, then
quiedy replaced them, and tumbled into bed
to await the result. Half an hour before
breakfast, (his accustomed time for rising,)
Ned slid out of bed, cooled his coppers by a
long pull at the water jug, and then commen
ced the operation of making his toilet. The
Doctor, who was lying with one eye open and
a wad of bedclothes stuffed in his mouth—bhy
way of smothering a desire to laugh—watch

“'Tis very strange,” exclaimed Ned; * 1
wouder what has got in these d—d drawers ?
they were large enough yesterday, and now |
can’t make them meet! 'Tis no use in try
ing=T"ll hivch them up to my pants.”
Ned then drew on his pantaloons, and
strained Limself (o the utmost to make them
tucet over his bread-basket, but it was no go—
for with every effort he ouly inereased the
size of the bunch of shirt that * stuck out a
feet” between the buttous and button holes of
the waistband. After exhausting himself in
vain attempts to close the opening in his ne
ther garments, he approached the Doctor,
who appeared to be asleep, and after arousing
hiw, inquired if be could tell what bad occa.
sioned the sudden disproportion between his
wnmentionables and that part of his person
which now refused o be enclosed in them.
“ Why, yes ! said the Doctor rising and
scrutivizing Ned closely— it ig Just as plain

ting drinks, and take such medicines as I may
prescribe!*
“Thank you, Doctor, I will do anything
in the worl! to get rid of this horrible dis
ease,” said Ned, *and if you will only cure
me, I'll promise to stop drinking altogether—
Doctor, do you think I'll have to be tapped 1"
It is impossible to say, Ned, but,” added
the Doctor, as you are young and have a good
constitution, 1 think we may avoid that oper

Ned followed the Doctor's advice strictly,
took simples, dieted, and kept on his back,
whilst the Doctor and Ned's brother officers,
to whom the joke had been imparted, were
enjoying themsclves at his expense. Every
day he would receive hall a dozen visits of
condolence from the subs. of the garrison—
each of whom would express his surprise at
the enlarged state of Ned's corporosity.
At the end of a week, the Doctor again ab
stracted Ned's breechies and drawers—had
them restored to their fair proportion, replaced
by the bedside of his unsuspecting patient,
and then told him to rise and dress himself.
So indeed he did, and Ned soon found, to his
infinite joy, that his clothes were almost as
much too large for him now, as they were be
fore too small=—all symptoms of the dropsy
having disappearcd—thanks to the kind atten
tion of the &)ocu)r. which were liberally be
stowed on him by Ned. ‘l'he Doctor bound
all the officers to secrecy, and Ned's dropsy
became the standing joke of the garrison.
Time passed on, and by accident or design,
Ned made the acquaintance of the fair (I
would not say frail) one, whom the Doctor
employed as seamstress—the very person he
had engaged to sew up the Lieutenant’sinex
pressibles—as a matter of course, hie had not
advanced very far into her affections, before
she threw out hints that awakened Ned's sus
picions, and with a little management, he soon
possessed himsell of all the particulars of the
trick that had been played on him.
No longer having the fear of death from
dropsy belore his eyes, Ned relapsed iuto his
old habits, “just as easy as falling off a log,”
and the Doctor's nightly persecutions again
commenced. The temperauce lectures were
renewed, and the late hair-breadth escape was
held up before him *“in terrorem;" but to no
purpose. Ned's constant reply to all the ad
monitions of the Doctor was **a short life and
a merry one!" at times, however, Ned woull
appear melancholy and dejected, and would
say to the Doctor that he was tired of this ex
istence, and that he must not be surprised if
he put an end to himself. .
About 11 o'clock one night, after the Doc
tor had retired to rest, and was snoozing it
away very comfortably, protected from assaults
of mosquitoes by a well tucked pavilion, he
was suddenly aroused from his slumber by
the entrance of Ned who was very much dis
guised by liquor—
* Doctor,” said he (reeling backwards and
forward, and introducing a hiccup now and
then hetween his words,) “Doctor get up ! [
want to talk to you 'bout something that con
cerns life and death—l want your advice, my
dear fellew. Tam about to commit a deed—
a fearful deed—a horrid deed! Get up, won't
you!”
~ #Ciear out and go to bed, and stop your
d=—d noise,” growled the Doctoras he turned
over in bed,
“Well, it is the last favor I have to ask of
you, Doctor, and I ask it for the last time. |
am tired of this life, and if you don't get up
I'll blow my d—d brains out, (and here he
drew and cocked a pistol,) will you get up and
hear what 1 have to sy or not 7"
“No, and be d=—d to you,"” shouted the
Doctor.
“Then here goes," and as he said it bang
went the pistol, and poor Ned was stretched on
the floor weltering in blood.
“Great God,"” cried the Doctor, as he leap
ed from the bed, (carrying with him the mus
quitoe-bar, through which he had bolted his
head,) “what have you done !" then casting a
glance in the corner of the room, he saw by
the flickering of light in an expiring candle,
the mutilated remains of the unfortunate
young man. As he rushed inagony from the
room he encountered several of the officers,
who hearing the report of the pistol were pro
ceeding to the spot to learn the cause of this
unusual disturbance. To their enquiries the
Doctor only replied by exclaiming—O! Le
hegged me to get up—he said he would Lill
himself if I didu't get up, and as he has done
it! I might have prevented him. Ol! [ never,
never shall forgive mysell! Such were the
lamentations uttered by the Doctor, as he
paced backward and forward before the door,
when the commandant demanded the cause
of the alarm.
“ He has justshot himself, and [ might have
prevented it, Sir, but I woulda't get up when
he begged me to do so—Oh! 1 shall ulways
nave his death upon my conscience.”
* But speak, Sir, who has shot himself "
asked the commandant, seizing the frantic
Doctor by th» remnant of the musquitoe-bar
which still streamed from his neck.
“Lieut. C., Sir—has just blown his brains
out!”
* And have you examined the wound 1" de
manded the commandant.
* No, Sir, no—l shall never be able to look
apon him again."”
**Calm yourself, Doctor, and go immedi
wtely, and ascertain the extent of the injury,”
said the commandant, sternly. ,
The Doctor yielding to the tone of author
ity with which the last words were spoken,
slowly returned to the room where the tragi
calscene had just been enacted, and aj.proach.
ing the gory remains of the poor Lieutenant,
felt of his pulse to see if life had become ex
tint, when Ned raised bimself up and placed
us floger oo his nose, and said, ** You'll sow
my pantaloons up again,will you,old Pill Box.”
The fact was, Ned had obtained some bullock's
hlood, and had well bespattered himself with it,
which the Doctor supposed was Ned's. It
occasioned a hearty laugh among the officers,
as they were in the secret ; to which the Doc
tor said he saw nothing to laugh at.
Raisina A Carrran—About fifty years back,
two young fellows, brothers, went to Jamaica;
they were by trade blacksmiths. Finding,
soon after their arrival, that they could do no
thing without a little money to begin with,
but that with £6O or £7O they might be able
to realize a fortune, they hit upon the follow
ing novel und ingenious expedient. One of
them stripped the other naked, shaved him
close, and blackened him from head to foot.
This ceremony being performed, he took him
toone of the negro dealers, who was so pleased
with the appearance of the ysung fellow, that
he advanced £BO currency upon the bill of
sale and prided himsell much upon the pur
chase, supposing him the finest negro on the
island. 'l'be same eveninithis manufactured
negro made his escape to his brother, washed
himself clean, and resumed his former ap
pearance. Rewards were offered in handbills,
pursuit was eluded, and discosery, by caro
and precaution, rendered impracticable.” The
brothers with the money commenced busi
ness, and actually returned to Englind, not
many years since, with a fortune of £20,000.
Previous liowever, to their departure from the
island, they waited upon the gentleman from
whom they had received the money. and re
calling the circumstance of the negro to his
recollection, paid him the principal and inter
est with thanks.

? Edith Ray was a joyous ereature, with a
heart so brimming over with mirthfulness,
that every one who came into her presence
caught the infection. She was womanly and
delicate too, and yet fearless us a young eagle ;
dning whatever she purposed in the face of
all opposition ; and telling the most unwel
come truths, particularly whenshe might thus
unmask hypocrisy, or expose any thing mean
and cringing. Yet every body loved her; for
although she possessed a dangerous power, it
was never called inio exercise for the purpose
of crushing; being kept in check by a kind
and affectionate heart. Kdith Ray, as all who
saw her would be very likely to suppose, was
an only child, and quite an heiress withal @ so.
it is not strange that she should take a con
spicuous place among the Alderbrook belles.
"'he schoolmaster used to quote poetry to her,
and bring her boquets. Mr Shewrill, a dash
ing young law student, was the companion of
all her horse-back rides, and walked with her
to the church-door every Sabbath morning,
with the evident hope ofone day handing her
in very gracefully ; and the doctor, the grocer,
and a ** wild slip” of dry goods merchants,
had severally shown an interest in Mr Ray's
affairs truly gratifying. Yet Edith would
parody the schoolmaster's verses most ludic
rously to Lis face; give her gallant squire the
slip whenever it suited her convenience; and
ridicule the pretensions of the othersoutright. ]
It is strange thatthe Argus—eyed supervisors
of our litle village had no suspicions as to the
real cause of Kdith's indifference to her ad
mirers; but certain it is that a pale* student
like face passed in and out of Mr. Ray's door,
particularly on rainy evenings, and at other |
times when gayer ones would not be likely to |
interrupt the visit, without exciting the least
remark. Perhaps it was because all had de
cided that the widow's son never would intro
duce a new mistress into the parsonage; and
perhaps the improbability of the grave young
pastor's taste leading him to make such a se- |
lection. Whatever the cause might have been, |
there was certainly an important life-lasting |
sccret Jocked fast inthe hearts of Mr. Robin- |
sonand bright Edith. The young lovers were
strikingly contrasted in outer seeming; but
there was a rich under current in the charac
ters of both that perfectly harmonized; so
Edith feared only for her own volatility when |
she gave her heart into another's keeping, and l
the young pastor prayed ouly that she might |
be able to repay the trust. The betrothal|
passed, and still the secret was not discovered,
though Edith had unconsciously assumed a
gentler manuer, and a sweeter expression,
whicli could notfail to excite observation.
As [said before, Edith Ray feared nothing
but todo wrong: and her daring had been so
much the subject of remark, that she felt not
a little pride in exhibiting her courage; a
quality which her young friends took every
opportunity to test. Uunknown to her com
pantous, however, there was one point on which
lodith was vulnerable; she had, when a little
child, seen her own mother stretched out in
death—=she remembered the rigid limbs, with
their white covering, giving a fearful mystery
to their half-revealed outlines—and any thing
that bore the slightest resemblance to such a
form® inspired her with horror.
It was on a fine moonlight night in mid
winter, that a social group had assembed in
Mr. Ray's parlor, and Edith, unlike her wont
when Mr. Robinson was present, had been the
gayest of the party. As the evening drew to
a close, Nr. Sherrill expressed a wish to see a
book of engravings that had disappeared {rom
the parlor; a desire which Edith declafed such
an evideuce of improved taste, that it should
be instantly gratified. She tripped lightly
from the theroom, and asshe disappeared we
all observed that Sherrill crept carefully to
ward the door. The vext moment a short
shrill cry, followed by a soft low, half-choked
sound, as of oue strangling, brought usto our
feet. With one bound poor Sherrill was in
the adjoining apartment—but he was scarce
in advance of the young pastor. The rest of
us followed hastily. alarmed at, we knew not
what. But we soon knew. Upon a long ta
ble lay extended an object covered with cloth,
with moombeams flickering over it, revealing
the fearful outlines of a human figure with ap
parent certainty. Before this crouched young
Edith Ray' with her fingers clenched in the
masses of long hair descending on each side
of her face, her eyes distended and a white
foam wreathing her motionless lips.
“Edith! myown Edith!"” whispered Rob
inson, in a voice hoarse with agony.
Edith started to her feet, and the mocking
walls echoed her wild unnatural laugh.
“ Look Edith=look!" entreated Sherrill;
**it is nothing ;" and he shook outtwo or three
cloaks artfully arranged. ** Nothing but these
—I did, Edith—l Elid it—l put them there to
scare you!"
Edith only laughed again.
Mr. Robinson drew her arm within hisown,
and led her quietly back into the the parlor;
and poor Sherrill l{)llowcd and crouched at her
feet, beseeching her but to speak one word—
just to show that he had not murdéered her.
Butthe stricken girl only twined her hair help
lessly about her fingers, and smiled.
Three years have rolled away, but they
have wrought no cliange on the darkened
spirit of Edith Ray. Mr. Robinson still oe
cupies the parsonage, but he has grown graver,
and gentler, and more spiritual than ever; and
the young repress their smiles and soften their
voices when he comes near—for untold sor
row is a sacred thing. The neighbors say
that Parson Robinson is whoily devoted to his
books, and the care of his flock. But they
make a marval of one thing. It is a great
wonder to them what is the attraction at poor
Mr. Ray's, that he should spend his two
hours there every evening. But they never
saw the stricken {:dilh at his fuce wilz an ex
pression of childish confidence—nor heard her
low mournful murmur when he went away.
Our still yonng pastor is ever found among
the sick sorrowing ; but every eifort to draw
him into social hife fails; for the poor wreck,
which clings to him in her idiocy, is still born
upon his heart. LA=M

T"E subscriber having received his Commis
sion direet ftom Messrs. Morrison, Moat &
Co., of the British College of Health, London,
as sole agent for the Siate of Rhode lsland, for
vending their HYGEIAN UNIVERSAL MEDI
CINE, the public may rest asspred, that, shou'd
any medicines be ollered for sale in this State,

COUNTERFEIT, > 7
The Hygeinn Medicines rest solely on their
own intrinsic merits, which preclodes the neces
sity of spending thousauds of dollars annually,
in advertising and pufling, as is the case with
many other medicines now before the publie.
Notwithstanding that the celebrated Morrison
Pills of the British College of [lealth, have been
so many years before the public, in every civiliz
ed pation on the Globe, and althoush their sal
utary effects have been acknowled;e b‘v teus of
thousands of persons on both sides of the At
lantie, yet are there, even to this day, some
)laces where their useful properties are but little
lmown—or, if known atall, where their health
giving and health restoring virtues have been
confined within an extremely limited and exclu
sive sphere. As in cases with all the medicines
that have become popular with m:ly community,
these pills have been connterfeited in every pos
sible way that the most cunning ingenuity could
devise, and their valuable excellence depreciated
by every species of fraud, misrepresentation and
n[‘;use. Where they have been tried, however,
well and fairly trieJ‘,l none have been found but
to praise and recommend them. ‘T'he afllicted of
almost every tongue and land, who have been by
their use resusicated from the very last stages of
discase, have spoken of their inestimable worth,
in lm;_gunge that has put to shame even the bold
est effrontery ; their eticacy in cases where every
other remedy has proved unavailing, is a trium
hant answer to every imputation which the most
Kuue and mercenary have been able to invent.
Since the death of the elder Mr. Morrison,
even many of those who most rancorously op
posed him, have done him und his high character
and principles the justice which they withheld
from him while living ; and but very few have
now the temerity to deny the correctness of the
theory which he advocated so many years, and
the truth of which he succeeded to establish by
an experience and practice greater than has ever
fallen to the lot of any other man. The manu.
facture of the medicine is now, as for some time
past ithas been, under the immediate supervision
of the sons of Mr. Morrison.

pills reach in their operation these several organs,
evacuating and cleansing them, without impair.
ing in the least their henlthfi functions. They
remove congestions in the head, and break up
fevers and violeat diseases. Persons who are at
all subject to such complaints, should always have

usual oceupation, requiring but little variation in
diet; always proving easy, safe, and successfu)
in their operations. One or two takenon goin

Genuine Patent Galvanic Rings,
AND CHRISTIE'S MAGNETIC FLUID.
'l‘l!l! remarkable discovery has received the
universal approbation of the wedical profes
sion of Great Britain has now been sufficiently
before the American public to give a fuir test of
its power and eflicacy. ‘l'he Galvanic Rings
have long been used with perfect success in all
cases of rflwum.climl, acute or chronie, applying
to the head, fice or limb«: gout tie dolureux,
toothuche, bronchitis, vertigo, nervous or sick
headuche, indigestion, paralysis, palsy, epilepsy,
fits, eramp, palpitation of the heart, apoplexy,
stillness of joints, lambago, spinal complaing, neu
ralgia, general debility, deficiency of neivous cne
ergy and all nervons disorders,
Lhewr extraordinary effeets npon the system
must be witnessed to be believed ; and as a cer
twin rreventivo for the above complaints they are
m‘;m ly to be recommendedl,
HE GALVANIC BELTS, BANDS, BRACELETS, &¢
In some complaints of a very severe character
and of long stunding, the power obtained by the
Galvanie Rings is not suflicient 10 arrest the pro
fircu of disease, und ultimately restore Iwull{:.—
‘he improved modification in the Galvanic Belts,
Bands, Bracelets, &e. entircly remedies this ob
jection ; nng degree of power that is required can
easily be obtaincd, and no disease which the mys
terious agent of galvanism can effect, will fail to
be permanently relieved,
Certificates bearing strongest witness of the ex
traordinary eflvets o% these articles are daily ac
cumulating. The following are merely offered
as a nn;lc of hundreds of a similar charaeter :
The first is an extraet from an editorinl which
a‘!upeared on the 24th of June in the Albany Duily
itizen, Stanley Smith, Esq., editor.
‘“'l'he patent Galvanic Rings, which are mak
ing such a stir in the world just now, are a novel
invention of this age of inventions ' *
‘“ With regard to their etlicacy we ean say that
two or three cases have falien under our notice,
which have favorably impres:ed our minds The
first is that of a highly respectable merehant of N,
Yoik, who declared 10 ns that their use speedily
relieved him of a couglh, seated pain in the side,
symptoms of a pulwonary complaint, and he is
now entirely well. The second that we shall no
tice. is that of a yonng man named Robbins, a
resident of this eity, who sbout one year since
was visited with an attack of paralysis, which aof
fected the whole of one side of his body. We
lccowlnied a medical friend to his resideace,
No. 96 Beaver street, on Sunday, 1o inquire into
his case. We found that he had been deprived
entirely ol the nse of one arm and leg, and that
sensation has been lost 10 the whole of one side
of the body. He had been nnable to use the leg
in walking or the arm iu eating, and the hysic
ians said thol could not help him. Wilfim the
last two weeks he had worn two and four of Dr.
Cristie’s Galvanic Rings, and used the Magnetic
Fluid, and the effect upon his paralytic limbs is
astonishing. The deathlike coldness left them,
the numbness began to give way to many sensa
tions of returmng life und feeling, perspiration
came out freely, and he hus been rapidly gaining,
and while before he wore the Ring, he was una
ble to articulate distinetly, walk or feed himself,
yet now he talks freely, rides out, walks sowe,
and for the most part is able to help himself,—
These cases, coming 10 our personal knowledge,
certainly testify to the merits of Dr. Cristie's Gal
vanic Rings and Mugnetie Fluid ”
The following is eopied from *“The Orphan’s
Advocate and Noeial ‘lunimr," the well known
publication in Boston, edited by the Misses A.
and E G. Fellows. Prejndice mustvanish when
such authority vouches l!ur evidence like the fol
lowing. It speaks for itself,
“C!ll(ltg’l‘lf‘,'s GALVANIC RINGS.
“The efficiency of Guivauism in the cure of
diseases, particularly those ofl'cctinfi the nervous
system has long been acknowledged. The diffi
culty has been that while the patient received a
benefit in one direction he was injured by the sc
verity of the shocks This difficulty has of late
been in a great measure remedied by an improv
ed construction of the galvanic battery. But the
great desideratum lay still beyond; it was to ap
ly the galvanic power gently and unceasingly.
’i‘fl'il important object hus been accomplished by
the Gualvanie Rings, which Lave lately been in
vented, and have snddenly risen intosmuch pub.
lic favor. In relution to these Ringswe have wit
nessed some very practical results unless we were
greatly mistaken in the cause. One was that of
an orphan girl in our own charge, and temporar
ily in our family, who had been a great sufferer
under paralytic shocks, till she had nearly lost the
use of her limbs. One of her hands, for exam
le, was completely twisted up. She has nsed
r)r. Christie’s Galvanie Rings and the Magnetic
Fluid which accompanies thew, for a few weeks,
and she is now almost complately cured. We
could nume other instances of ‘Peuom in poor
health beiug greatly bevefitted i’ not restored by
their use. We are happy to lea!il"‘v to what we
know, leaving the reader to judge for himself.—
The expense of trying them 1s but little, and they
certainly can do no harm Many of the simplest
remedies are, after all, the most efficacions.”
It is unnecessary to add more, except to state
that the gennine Galvanie Rin‘gs and Magnetic
Fluid are only ta be obtained of CHAS. DYER,
