Vita! energy, it is well known, depends upon tho normal functions of the nervo-ekciric fluid governing the whole economy ; any deficiency taereof in the system manifests itself, according to the locality, by a variety of troublesome an men's, such as . Indigestion Liver Complaints N euralgia Sciatica Deafness W ri ter's Cramp Loss of Voice Asthma Bronchitis Paralysis P^pilepsy Rheumatism Gout. * Constipation Local Debility General Debility _ Female Complaints Mental and Physical Functional Disorders Weakness &c. Sec, &c: This is no conjecture, but an established scientific? fact, and it must be admitted that PDIiVEKMACHER'S GALVANIC CHAIN BANDS, by supplying this e'ectrical deliciency, constitutes nature's most congenial curative in the ailments refened to, embodying a host ot remedies in one. Thirty years' successful experience has proved the marvellous remedial powers of these appli ances, even in cases defying ordinary treat ment. Tho following is spontaneous and remark able :— "Auckland, November 2G, IS77.L' [§"DEAR Sir.—i have been a great sufferer from Lumbago—in fact, for the last 6J year.-; I have not been free from it for one minute ; and to make things worse, about two years and nine months since Neuralgia of tho Bladder set in which has been dreadfully painful and trouble some. I saw a short timo since your advertise ments in reference) to Pulverinaeher's Galvanic Bands, and the cures affected by them, and being avei se to taking medicine for these com plaints, I determined to try one. The result has > een something wondrrful, the Neuralgia in the Bladder left me in a week (mostly in the morn ing, I could scarcely crawl out of bed for it), and the Lumbago i-s very nearly gone (it has been of such long standing that I never expected to get any better), and instead of my life been made miserable by these pains, I feel almost like another man. You are perfectly at liberty to publish this if you think fit, and perhaps it may bo the means of some other unfortunate sufferer gaining relief.

Provincial Laboratory. Auckland, October 26, 1875.«-MR. E. WATERS: Sir,—l have much pleasure in informing- you, that niter having made a very careful analysis of various samples of sweetmeats manufactured by you, I find that they are free from all adulteration, and that the colouring matters are quite innocuous. With regard to the Chocolate, I find that it is quite equal to the best English or French prepara tions ; and, being entirely free from husk, it will form an excellent article of diet for invalids, especially those Buffering from an impaired digestion.—l Lave the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, James JyT. Tummy, Proviacia Analysts

Although the modern Materia Mbdica Jn-. eludes many valuable remedies for human afflictions, if. is a matter of certainty that in all cases where the animal vitality is failing, Phos phorns is decidedly superior to every other remedy at present known. It will work effects such as nothing else will produce, and it pos sesses the great advantage of not causing, -when its use J3 icliuquiehed, the slightest reaction or depression. The que-iion naturally presents itself, ''Why is so valuable an elenv nt so little regarded and so seldom prescribed V "he only answer which, can be given is :—That v certain difficulty has been found in so preparing it thatitsaction may be kept under perfect control. Aitherto it has been used in almond and olive oils, in sulphuric ether. In rectified alcohol, in chloroform, and in several other substances ; but however valu able it has been found in :;]1 the hitheito known methods of its preparation, certain irregular results have been experienced, which have ki physicians to neglect; it for general purposes, and to employ it only in extreme ca.see, and after every oilier remedy has failed. But a chemical process has cow been «:i se overed, by which its invaluable action on the human sys tem may be realised without any of those draw backs which previous modes of administration have invariably produced. ty.r Caution.— Phosphorus is sometimes sold in the form of Pills and Lozonges ; it should be, generally known ihat every form where solid particles of Phosphorus are in combination is dangerous. It is therefore necessary that the public should be cautioned ayaiust the use of any preparation oi; Phosphorus not perfectly soluble in water.
