GIBBS' PERUVIAN GUANO, imported in their Own Vessels, at all tinies on Sale Newport, 18tli January, 1300, PARiilYSIS. MR. HALSE, the MEDICAL GALVANTST, of 22, Brunjwlek.square n London, earnestly recommends invalid and gentlemen of the me- I dical profession to peruse the following. It cannot but surprise them, and wi'l prove to them the all but miraculous power of Galvanism, when applied in a scientific manner, and with an efficient apparatus. The following i case is perhapj as remarkable a one as oould be selected, as showing the powers of Ga]van;»ni, after eveiy medicine, and almost every medic 1 practitioner in Devonshire, had been tried in vain; and as the trutu of it is witnessed by a distinguished clergyman of the Church or England, there can, one would suppose, be no doubt in any one s mind as to its accuracy. When the patient was brought to fr. H., his wife told him that she could not believe that Galvanism or anything else could possibly restore him for his, complaint had been sia"<iiiif! so long, and he was in such a weak state, that it would bL presumptuous to expect any benefit, particu- larly as he had tried the most celebrated physicians in Devonshire, and still daily continued to get worse. She also stated that her friend, blamed ner very much for removing him from his home; but she could not help it; her husband had heard of such extraordinary cures made by Mr. H. in his co; -plaint, that galvanised he would be, in spite of everything. His medical man w <» quite angry with liim for thinking of such a tiling; and wh m his friends vrere carrying him from his house to the carriage, every o"e appeared to be convinced hat taey should never see him alive any more. But notwithstanding all the difficulties he had to contend with, he was determined, add ili- sisted upon being alvanise.1. The follow'ng letter, which he sent to the editor of the Exeter Flyinp Post, will prove the result:— OUGHT NOT GALvJLN~T?M TO BE MORE GENERALLY HE SORTED TO?—Alett?vt-i the Editor of the Flying Post. by one who has derived immmsij benefit from the power of the,Galvanic Apparatus. Mr. EDITOR,—A fw v v! !in. I noticed a paragraph by you, stating that Galvanism ouch- ,?o be more ijeaera'ly employed. I be to state, thai r am precisel, El same opinion, f-.r I have witnessed its Hstoni>linng effects in a nuaiOer of cases, and it power has been tried particularly on :nY5elf. with the happiest results. In that nar i- grrapli I was most hapyv to uud favourable mention of Mr. Hals's name. All that you have said 0: him, and even mere, is his (1;11; indeed, as for myself, I have caurl,3 to bless the day lhat T first placed myself under iiis care. Now, sir, my case was a most deplorable ore, for I had not the le,1t use of either £ rm or leg-they hung about me like as if they did not belong to me, anil the strength of my legs was insufficient to support the wcipht of my body; of curS1 I could not stand, and if yoll had ofTere-1 7T,0 a thousand guinc.is to move either hand but one inch from the place where it mijht have been placed. I could not have done it; not the least command had 1 over my limbs. My complaint was caused hy a blow on the back. Well. as before stated, I placed myself under Nfr. Hal-e's galvanic treatment. I had been led to believe that it was a dreadful operation to go through; but I was fgveoaMy surprised that there was no unpleasantness at. all about it, not even enough to make a child cry, so beautifully does Mr. liaise mnnage his batterv. In three days, sir, I coald stand upon my legs, and in one week I could walk about the houne; at the same time I also partially recovered the use of mv arms; and in six weeks, I could walk several miles in a day without the least assistance. Well might you ask, I Ought not Gal- vanism to be much resorted to r After what I have seen and expe- rienced, I do consider it a shame that a portion of the medical profession should decline to recommend their patients to try the powers of Galvanism. Perhaps I neeil not state, that I had had the advice of the most celebrated physicians in this countrv; but all the medicines which were tried, did me little or no good. I believe Mr. Halse was as much surprised as myself and friend, when, at the expiration of a week, he saw that I could walk, for he did not lead me to believe that there would be such a rapid improvement. I will state, that invalids are very m',ch to blame if they do not give Galvanism a trial, for if it d'es no srood, it is impossible it can do anyharm-, but there is every probability of its doing good, for during the time I was under Mr Halse's care, I noticed its happy effects in a variety of cases, particulatly sciatica, rheumatism, asthma, and nervous- ness; indeed, all his patients were rapidly resaining their health. I only regret that I had not applied to him earlier; I should have been many scores of pounds in pocket, had I done so. "GEORGE E. BIGNELL. "New London Inn, Dodbrooke. King-sbrjdze. "Witness to the truth of the above—C. G. Owen, Rector of Dod- brooke, near Kingsbridge, Devon. Mr Halse recommends paralytic patients in the country to purchase one of his Ten Guinea Portable Appratuses; as. with his instructions, they will be enabled to apply the Galvanism themselves, without the least pllin, and fully as elective as he could at his own residence.

DTTRTNG the prevalence of unsettled weather, fogs, and damper the glottis, (at the upper part of the wradptpe.) and the windpiue itself, take on inflammatory action which rt.iailv p*tends along the mucous coat, until it reaches the fnlStubes which penetrate the lungs, giving rise to a distressing cough, expectoration, spasmodic pains of the chest, and oftenf if unchecked, ending in fatal pulmonary disease In other ca«es the inflammatory action occurs in the sinuses of the head and face causing watery eructation, of »he eve and a stinging sensation at the extremity of the nostnls.

Ihe Sn which this medicine exercises upon the respiratory organs seems to be both stimulating and sedative; it abates the violence of the cough, and diminishes or relieves altogether the oooression 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 tne res- rdratorv 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 pulmonary 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.
