GALVANISM.—How does Galvanism act in the cure o^ Diseases'? This is a question which is daily put to me. and the following is my reply to it. Galv nism first nets by arousing any nerve or organ from its torpid state, and then sup- plies those paits with nervous energy, until they have, acq.,iked such a heallhy state as.!LI) longer to require this extra supply. I will explain myaielfjBtiH fuither. In casesof asthma and indi- gestion, r'invariabljf ^ftnd that the nerve*«t the pitfcf lhe sto- mach and at-tiie top of the spine are in such a torpid state, that the patient can "bear a tremendous power without feeliog the ft!t uncomfortable-. a few days, however, these nerves get roused, and the patient cannot bear half the power; the nerves now conduct the galvanic fluid to those parts which are deficient of it an extra secietion of gastiic juice takes place, the accumulation of phlegm is prevented, and thus both the diges- tion and breathing aie improved. By and by the nerves get into a etill more active state, and the body now generates a sufficient supply of nervous influence for all its funcli ons. This is how gal vanisiii acts in casesof indigesiion and asthm a. It acts diffeiently, however, in some cases of sciatica and rheumatism, particularly in chronic cases here it acts by temoving the ohsl ructions which ithe nervous fluid meets with in its passage along the nerves for t most be remembered that the nervous fluid travels quickei than even light travels, and it can be easily imagined that wherever there is an obstruction to its passage, in that spot must there lie a pain. In paralysis how does it act? Just the same as it does in cases of indigestion, or a paralysed stomach, for such it is. It first arouses the nerves into action, and then supplies them with nervous energy. Take a bar of iron, bend it in the shape of a horse-shoe, coil some covered copper wire round it try its magnetic power it has none; it wants galvanic or nervous energy. Now apply the end of the wire to the galvanic battery again try its magnetic power, and lo it will sustain a ton weight. The ungalvanized iron is the paralysed hnib, the pow- erless limb the galvanized iron the healthy limb, the powerful limb. The great beauty of galvanism is, that in nineteen cases out of twenty, it shows its beneficial effects before the patient has been with me a fortnight; and in ordinary cases I find three or four weeks' g,lvanisill quite sufficient. How different this from all other systems My recent cures ot obstinate cases of indigestion have been so astonishing as to astonish myself; and, I contend, that no man or woman who suffers from this disties- sing malady should neglect a moment to try the remedial powers of galvanism. Indigestion is indeed a distressing malady it is the cause of tic doloreux, sciatica, most nervous complaints, neuralgia, head-aches, diinnest; of sight, detective hearing in short, of almost every complaint. I have had patients with the sensation of many hundred weight on the top of the head others as if their brain were continually stirred up with a spoon others, again, with toads, serpents, and all sorts of noi- some reptiles coniinually before their eyes; and others with a continual discharge of artillery inside their heads with an end- less variety of the oddest sensations imaginable, and which it would be almost impossible for a person who has been in a state of continual health to have any idea of. Now, in all thosecases, I have found that the cause was a derangement of the dicestive organs, and in proportion as the orgsus weie restored to health, so would all these odd fancies vanish. I have lately had a lady with me who had some knowledge of chemistry, and this know. ledge was tested ia a very peculiar wav. She knew that the at mospheie was composed of oxygen and Ditrogengases; that the oxygen was the vital air, and the nitrogen the poisonous air. Well, she took a fancy into her head that her lungs and boily had such an affinity tor the poisonous air, that she breathed no- thing else, and that her body was surrrouuded by an atmosphere of nitrogen only. This, she said, was the cause of all her suf- ferings and that unless I could alter the electrical state of the bodt, so that she might have as much affinitv for the oxygen as for the nitrogen, I should never cure her. Her stomach was in a most dreadful state. I tried to reason her out of her foolish ideas, but I found it would not do, and I am convinced, for the hundredth time, that it is but labour lost to argue with a dl- ranged stomach. I galvanued the stomach, and in one wk, she declared that the electric condition of her body was changed and that she inhaled the oxygen as well as the niirogen. The fact is, her stomach now began to perfectly digest food, healhy, blood was formed, and healthy ideas manifested themselves. 1 think it right I should slate, that before this lady came to me she had been using for several weeks one of those ridiculous gal. vanic instruments which shopkeepers are in the hlibil of selling at two pounds or three pounds each. Its effect on her ( as on all others who have used them) was to aggravate her complaint exceedingly. I cannot too strongly cautioa parties against the use of ihoae instruments.

DURING the prevalence of unsettled weather, fogs, ami damp air, the glottis, (at the upper part ot the wnidp.pe ) and the windpipe itself, take on inflammatory r.ction which gradually extends along the mucous coat, until ip reaches the bronchial tubes which penetrate the lungs, giving nse to a distressing cough, expectoration, spasmodic pains of the chest, and often, if unchecked, ending in fatal pulmonary disease In other cases, the inflammatory action occurs 111 the sinuses of the head and face, causing watery eructation, redness of the eves and a stinaing sensation at the. extremity ot the nostrils. This is the epidemic termed ldfikieiiza. Bronchili is inflammation of the mucous membrane which lines the bronchi in its whole extent. It commences as a common cold in the young and middle aged, and Gontnlles a month or two, and returns every winter with iiicreased seventy. It is -sometimes erroneously called wn.t.r eough, and so.netnues Asthma in Hooper's Physician s ade ^ecum editea b> Di) Kyan, it is caudidlv stated that they (the me, ,cal p. ofcsMon. did not know any effectual treatment for these disorders; .nice that work was compiled, a new substance ha. been introduced, Brande's Bronchial Sedative, lhe influence of ,1m substance pursues the exact track of the mflamma.ory action causing cough.

I'^ris." have frequently taken occasion to exhibit Vhis substance in cases of bronchitis, chrome catarrh, pu mom ry pht,nsls, sthma and other affections of the chest, and I mllt say, I have derived fa%-ourtble results from its application, The action which this medicine exercises upon the respiratory organs seems to be both «tiiaul..tin« nnd.swlative; it abates the violence of the cough, and diminishes or relieves altogether tho oppression of the chest, by facilitating expectoration. I feel even inclined to believe that it exercises a special action (and such as no other remedy is known to exercise) upon the res- piratory organs Some facts that have come under my per- sonal notice have convinced me that Lange was perfectly justified in his assertion, that it stops the spitting of blood, and arrests the formation of nulmonfiry tubercles." This medicine is, without doubt, the only cure for these dis- orders. Since its introduction, it has been rapidly supplanting every other preparation administered for pulmonary disorders. Tho proprietors strongly urge the medical profession, chemists, and others, to introduce it to the afflicted. It is sold by most respectable chemists, and by all the Agents for Brande's Enamel.

PARKER D. BINGHAM, Capt. R.N." King's College, Cambridge, Oct. 15, 1849. I now consider myself a stranger to all complaints, except a hearty old age. 1 am as well as ever I was, and even quite free from the vexa- tious and troublesome annoyance of an irruption of the skin, of which I had suffered for years, and which mv medical attendant had declared incurable at my time of life. About sixty years ago I had a fall from my horse, hemiplerrit WAS tho consequence; my left arm and leg were paralysed, also my ;-ft eye-lid and the eye were displaced. From 17S9 these dilapidations have resisted all remedies until now, at the age of 85, by two years use of your delicious breakfast food, my left arm and leg have been rendered as useful to me as the right, and the left eyelid restored to health, the eye so much so that it requires no spectacles, &c.
