"Dear Sir.—l have been a great sufferer from Lumbago—in fact, for the last GJ yeara I have not been free from it for one minute; and to make things worse, about two years and nine months since Neuralgia of the Bladder set in which has been dreadfully painful and trouble some. I saw a short time since your advertise ments in reference to Pulvennachcr's Galvanic Bands, and the cures affected by them, and being averse to taking medicine for these com plaints, I determined to try one. The result has teen something wonderful, the Neuraluui in the Bladder left me in a week (mostly in the morn ing, I could scarcely crawl out of bed l\>. it), and the Lumbago is very nearly gone (it bos been of such long standing that I never expect? -.1 to get any better), and ihitcad of my life ha-n made miserable by these pains, I feel alma-it like another man.

Although tho modern Materia Medica in cludes many valuable remedies for human afflictions, it is a matter of certainty that in all cases where tho animal vitality is failing. Phos phorus 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 is relinquished, the slightest reaction or depression. The question naturally presents itself, "' Why is so valuable an element so little regarded and. so seldom prescribed V The only answer which can be given is :—That a certain difficulty has been found in so preparing it that its action may bo kept undo, perfect control. Aiiherto 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 all the hitherto known methods of its preparation, certain irregular results have been experienced, which have led physicians to neglect it for general purposes, and to employ it only in extreme cases, and after every other remedy has failed. But a chemical process has now been discovered, 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. .-»- Caution.—Phosphorus is sometimes sold in the form of i 'ills and Lozenges ; it should be generally known that every form where solid particles of Phosphorus are in combination is dangerous. It is therefore necessary that tlie public should be camioned against the use of any preparation o* Phosphorus not perfectly soluble in water.
