C AUTIO N. 83— On the evening of the 27th ult,, a mansion in the neighbourhood of London was broken into by thieves, who entered through a bed- room window by means of a ladder. Several offences of this kind have recently occurred at mansions in the country and near London, but owing to the want of a sufficient description of the thieves, the Police will have great difficulty in tracing them. It is to be feared, therefore, that other houses will be attacked by the same gang. The offences are generally committed between the hours of 7 and 10 in the evening, during the family dinner hour, and when the upper part of the house is without occupants. Proprietors of detached houses standing in their own grounds are specially warned to see that all windows are closed and securely fastened in the evening, and urgent attention is called tp the imprudence of keep- ing valuable jewellery in wardrobes in bed and dress- ing- rooms. It is valuable portable property of this kind which such burglars alone seek for, and keeping it in a proper thief- proof safe affords absolute security against their depredation?, As the removal of the ladder, by which they gain access to the upper windows, would ensure the capture of the thieves, they generally stretch wire across the lawn to trip up pursuers, and in the last case the hall door and side doors of the house were securely fastened from the outside by wire to prevent pursuit. Should any persons be seen loitering about or direct- ing attention to any house or grounds, their descrip- tion should be noted, and the Police of the locality communicated with.

AND CURE OF No more striking illustration could be desired of the remarkable progress that has been made in recent years in the application of electrical science to the treatment and cure of physical disease than is pre- sented to- day at 52. Oxford- street, London, W., in the Electropathic and Zander Institute, and operations of the Medical Battery Company, Limited, of which MR. C. B. HARNESS is the Managing Director and Chief Consulting Medical Electrician. Mr. Harness commenced to practise his system of electropathy some ten years ago on Holborn- viaduct, where his personal skill, and the rare efficacy as well as distinct novelty of the therapeutic methods he advocated, brought their reward of prominence, celebrity, and success. Four years ago a move was made to the present address, THE ELECTROPATHIC AND ZANDER INSTITUTE, a large five- story building at the corner of Oxford- street and Rathbone- place. The success already achieved became greatly enhanced in the new establishment, and at the present day there is not a better- known spot in Oxford- street than the pro minent corner at which stand the premises of the Medical Battery Company. HARNESS' ELECTROPATHIC BELT was the fundamental point in the system or series of systems of electro medical treatment over which Mr. Harness presides, and of which he was the author. This very notable appliance consequently merits some individual attention, as much, in fact, as our limited space will permit. The belt is neatly and strongly made of the best material, and is lined with fine wash- able flannel The inside surface is studded with peculiar flat metal discs, and when the belt is adjusted to the wearer's body, bringing these discs into contact with the skin, the action of the acids of the body upon them generates A GENTLE AND CONTINUOUS CURRENT of electricity, which, enduring as long as the belt is worn, is usually sufficient to effect a cure. If, how- ever, a more potent electrical agent is required, as happens in some exceptional cases, then Mr. Harness supplies his patent continuous current or other form of battery, which when connected by a simple method with the belt, produces a powerful but perfectly even flow of electricity, without the faintest semblance of the body undergoing treatment, whether he or she be wearing an Electropathic Belt, Spine Band, or any other of Mr. Harness's numerous CURATIVE ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES. Should the patient require a light to time the appli- cation by his watch, a mere movement of the hand brings forth a bright incandescent flame; or if he desire an attendant a similar touch causes an electric bell to ring. And yet, powerful though the current is, there is absolutely no shock— only a gentle SOOTHING SENSATION OF INVIGORATED EXISTENCE, a consciousness of health and integral strength im- parted, of impaired vitality being gradationally restored. The Electropathic Belt and other appliances perfected and supplied by the Medical Battery as ^ ... Company are designed to effectually treat and permanently cure such ailments as Rheumatism, Lumbago, Indigestion, Sciatica, Gout, Epilepsy, Paralysis, Constipation, Female Complaints, Kidney Disorders, General and Local Debility, Functional Derangements, gtc., etc., and they place a life and health- giving agency within the reach of every invalid that it would be the sheerest folly to neglect. It is impossible to preserve a feeling of indifference in presence of the mighty advance strides of electrical science; it is possible only to be convinced by each of these forward movements that in that science there is one of the most powerful and invincible of all therapeutic factors progressing rapidly out of and beyond the obscurity in which its beneficent characteristics have only been either wholly hidden or but half perceived. EVEN THE TERRIBLE HERNIA ( RUPTURE), most distressing of all physical dislocations, has been found amenable to Electropathic treatment, and Mr. Harness has been highly successful in dealing with this painful ailment, employing Electricity to a certain ex- tent in some forms of the disorder, and in'every case using and prescribing his patent WASHABLE " XYLONITE TRUSS," a flesh- coloured, self adjusting, and non- irritating, light, comfortable, and eminently cleanly appliance, the nature of whose construction is such as to invari- ably secure the most satisfactory results in a curative sense. Reverting for a moment to the Electropathic Belt and its kindred appliances ( which are the speciali- ties that have brought highest personal credit to Mr. C. B. Harness as a Medical Electrician), we may remark that they are peculiarly well- adapted forself- treatment. This is clearly evident from the very simplicity and convenience of their nature. Should the case, however, require the close attention and scientific treatment of a specialist in Electropathy, the patient cannot do better than place himself or herself under Mr. Harness's personal care. MR. HARNESS MAKES NO CHARGE FOR CONSULTATION or advice, either by letter or personally, and he may be consulted daily, or his officer, on all matters relating to health and the application of Curative Electricity, Massage, and Swedish Mechanical Exercises, at the offices of the Medical Battery Company, Limited, 52, Oxford- street. An experienced attendant is in readiness here to see ladies in the Ladies' Room, and persons beyond the metropolitan area, if unable to travel to London, can be visited and advised without any charge beyond the payment of the Consulting Elec- trician's travelling expenses. At the Company's headquarters, 52, Oxford- street, Mr. Harness has pro- vided most completely- appointed consulting- rooms, electrical bath- rooms, operating rooms, electro- massage rooms, etc., etc., in either of which departments a patient may receive the requisite treatment for any specified complaint until a complete cure is eflected. And the system, it is worth noting, is never an extrava- gantly costly one— indeed, in some instances, it is wondrously inexpensive when the valuable and permanent nature of the relief afforded is considered. THE ELECTRICAL BATH is not by any means the least notable of Mr. C. B. Harness's inventions. His easily regulated Battery administers through the water a continuous current of electricity, up to any necessary degree of strength, and the bath is at once a deliciously comfortable and thoroughly effective method of treatment, of very high pathological value in conditions of chronic disease. THE ELECTRO- MASSAGE SYSTEM is the admirable method devised by Mr. Harness for the treatment and cure of diseases of such nature as Sciatica, Paralysis, Spinal Complaints, etc., by elec- trisation combined with massage or medical friction. In this system the curative properties of the Galvanic, Faradic and Franklinic currents of electricity are united with the therapeutic value of massage manipu- lations, the result being most beneficial, and ladies and gentlemen desirous of studying these methods, and perfecting themselves therein ( with a view to taking advantage of the daily increasing field for the employment of competent messeurs, messeuses, and medical electricians), may obtain a course of lessons at the Company's establishment, and secure Certificates of Proficiency when competent. Another of the Company's wonderful and now world- famed appliances is DR. CARTER MOFFAT'S AMMONIAPHONE, which created a distinct and universal sensation in the musical and scientific world when first introduced, and was discussed at length in all the leading journals. The " Ammoniaphone " is designed to facilitate the cultivation of the voice, to improve all vocal utter- ances both in singing and speaking, and to treat and cure ASTHMA, BRONCHITIS, CONSUMPTION, and all bronchial and pulmonary affections by inhala- tion. Its value in these connections " has been proved beyond a doubt, and both its pathological virtues and its inestimable benefits to singers and orators have been affirmed by a host of testimonials from eminent persons who have used it. Among these latter may be mentioned H. R. H. THE PRINCE OF WALES, H. R H. the Princess Louise, the Right Hon- W. E. Gladstone, the Very RRV. Dr. Vaughan, Dean of Llandaffand Master of the Temple, Dr. Oliver Wen- dell Holmes, Madame Patti, Madame Rose Hersee, and all the leading vocalists and public speakers. The Medical Battery Company have acquired the property and systems of the ZANDER INSTITUTE, at a cost of about £ 10,000, and have fitted up at their headquarters, 52, Oxford- street, the various machines devised and invented by Dr. Zander, of Stockholm, for the treatment of physical weakness and ailments by the proper and not excessive employment of me- chanical exercise similar in nature to those of the gymnasium, but, unlike the latter, available to persons who have become actually invalided. These appliances have been fitted up in a spacious saloon at the Oxford- street premises, where, driven by a powerful engine, about fifty machines are now in use, variously formed to exert an influence for good upon every muscle, tendon, and ligament of the human figure. The apparatus are so regulated that they can be made to afford the gentle exercise required by a confirmed invalid or child, or sufficient gymnastic and physical excitation generally to cure a powerful man of constipatory and peristaltic disorders. This depart- ment of the exhibition is being largely and increasingly patronised, and its beneficial effects upon persons incapacitated for the taking of ordinary gymnastic or violent physical exercise are unquestionable. In view of the fact that such a sketch as the present one affords but slight means of making clear the nature and in- herent worth of such systems as those specialised by THE MEDICAL BATTERY CO., LIMITED, through Mr. C. B. Harness, we may conclude the fore- going brief and inadequate remarks upon a subject of such vital importance by recommending to the notice and careful perusal of readers of this article the follow- ing treatise and pamphlets by Mr. C. Harness :— " ELECTROPATHY ; OR, HARNESS' GUIDE TO HEALTH ;" " The Medical Uses of Electricity ; a Treatise on the Electropathic Method of Curing Disease ; " " Corpu- lence : Its Causes, Consequences, and Cure;" " Mechanical Exercise a Means of Cure;" being a description of the Zander Institute; " The Truth about the Ammoniaphone;" and " Italy : its Atmo sphere and its Music." These readable little works, obtainable gratis on application at the Company's offices, have all been written by Mr. Harness with much care and comprehensiveness, and contain a great fund of information respecting the various methods he has so skilfully adapted and so successfully employed for the treatment of disease. The Company's pre- mises, in addition to the departments already referred to, comprise, on the ground floor, a large and lofty reception saloon, where are sold the HARNESS ELECTROPATHIC BELTS, the Ammoniaphone, and all other specialities of the establishment, or from whence these articles are de- spatched in response to orders received from all parts of the world. A very large and continually increasing business is carried on here. On the first floor is THE FINE WAITING SALOON, a noble apartment in which many of the most distin- guished men and women of the day have awaited their " turn" for consultation with Mr. Harness. The Wait- ing Saloon is very handsomely appointed, and isv adorned with a number of the finest studies in marble wrought by Mr. Charles Lawes, the eminent sculptor. Mr. C. B. Harness is a connoisseur of art- works, and expends a large amount of money and most of his spare time in acquiring valuable specimens. The Lawes sculptures referred to are alone estimated at the value of more than £ 20,000. MR. HARNESS IS A YORKSHIREMAN, and he combines a really remarkable knowledge of medical and electrical science with great inventive faculty, and with the tenacious determination and fixity of purpose so characteristic of natives of the " Premier County." Mr. Harness is PRESIDENT OF THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION OF MEDICAL ELECTRICIANS, Member of the National Eclectic Medical Association, and Member of Honour, with Cross of Merit, of the Belgian National Society of the Red Cross. He was the founder of the Medical Battery Company, Limiteds and, in the capacity of Managing Director, he has exerted an influence upon the commercial and scien- tific departments of the concern alike that has made the establishment what it is to- day— doubtless the largest, most vigorously active, and most completely equipped electro- medical institution in the world, and. an example to our London hosnita. ls. CORRESPONDENCE. The following are a few letters ( selected from thousands) which have recently been received by Mr. C. B. HARNESS, of 62, Oxford- street, London, W., showing tho really marvellous cures effected by simply wearing his celebrated Electropathic Battery Belt:— " 30, Wilberforee- street, Wallsend- on- Tyne, Dec. 16. " Dear Sir,— It is with a feeling of deep gratitude that I write to let you know the result of the Electropathic Belt which- my wife obtained from your establishment in September last. The first day on which it was worn relief was experienced, and each succeeding day the same. When I tell you that she is in perfect health now, entirely through wearing your Electro- pathic Belt, the result is most marvellous, as she has been subject to indigestion, nervous debility, eti., for upwards of twenty four years; scarcely having a single day of good health. But I am happy to state that you have supplied the greatest of all blessings, namely, good health. Wishing you every success, I remain, yours faithfully, THOMAS BELDON." G-. W. BACON, Esq., 127, Strand, London, writes, Oct. 20. 1888 :— To Mr. C. B. Harness. Dear Sir,— I write to ex- press my gratitude for the great good I have derived from your system of electro- massage. My ease, as you may remember, was an obstinate one, and I only regret that I did not take the advice of my family doctor and resort to electrical treatment at an earlier stage. I am pleased to state that all dlation of the veins has now disappeared, the swelling of the leg being reduced, and the cure seems permanent and complete. In all my travels I have never seen an establishment so completely fitted up for these methods of treatment. I wish you every success." Mr. WILLIAM WHITTINGHAH, Cfciswick Cottage, Sutbiton Hill, writes : —" It gives me immeasurable pleasure to be able to testify to the benefit I derived from wearing an Electro- pathic Belt advised by you. Its influence has been marvellous in producing that refreshing sleep 11 ave been a stranger to BO long, and I now rise in the morning perfectly braced for my day's duties, which makes me deeply gratsful at my advanced age of 58." 3 Mr. JAMES CUMMING, 29, Crossley- street, Liverpool- road, N., writes :—" I feel very much happier, and in a better frame of mind, since wearing the Electropathic Bait and Suspender. My health has improved considerably. I no longer shun my friends, I enjoy society, and can only'attribute my recovery from the wretched condition I was in to your Electropathic treatment, which it will be my duty to recommend to any suf- ferer I meet." Dr. CHARLES LEMPRIERE, D. C. L., Senior Eellow, St. John's College, Oxford, writes:—" I beg to testify that the Belt you sent to my order has completely answered, not only as the best curative, but I dare to think preventive. I contracted some years_ ago in Syria periosteal rheumatism, which renders me peculiarly sensitive of atmospheric change. I can, therefore, speak positively on the advantages the Belt affords ; nor is my experience singular, as I constantly receive testimony from others similarly affected." Mr. W. J. MAY, The Albion, Waterloo- road, Aldershot, writes :—" October 11th, 1887.— I have received a letter from my brother in India to say that he received the Electropathic Belt safely, and that he had derived very great benefit from its use. He wished me to inform you that he suffered from indigestion and spinal weakness, but is quite well now. My brother's address is Quartermaster- Sergeant Louis Silver, 2nd Batt., 22nd Cheshire Regt., Depot, Umballa, India, but he is under a fresh order for service in Burmah." Major PAKENHAM, Longstone House, Armagh, writes:— " I am very happy to inform you that the Electropathic Belt which you supplied me with has completely cured me of the rheumatic gout, from which I had suffered such intense agony for nearly two years, and I now feel as strong and active as I have ever felt in my life. Several of my friends have, on my recommendation, tried these Belts, and in every case the result has been most satisfactory.'' Mr. H. FINCHAM, 6i, Lugard- road, Peckham, S. E., writes : — " Before I came under your treatment I was a great sufferer, with intense agony from indigestion and kidney disorder, and had been to many doctors, but could get no relief. Before wearing your Electropathic Belt, I must say I had very little faith in it, but I am now completely cured. I made your Electro- pathic Appliances known at Bognor, where 1 went for a change of air, and I gave your address to a lady who was suffering from indigestion, at the same time telling her that no one could have been such a martyr to it as I was." Mr. G-. NEAL, 9, Eaton- lane, Buckingham Palace- road, London, writes :—" Twelve months ago I was a private in the Royal Artillery, and through an accident, in which my spine was injured, and resulting in both legs being paralysed. I was unable to walk for nine months, during which time I was treated in a military hospital, and was eventually dis- charged from the service as incurable. Shortly afterwards I was persHaded to try one of your Electropathic Belts, which I did, and now, after three months' wear, am able to walk, and am getting on rapidly towards recovery." Mr. GEORGE GARWOOD, 208, Caledonian- road, King's- crosst N., writes :—" My health has been very good ever since wear- ing Harness' Electropathic Belt, but before wearing it I wa » never free from pain. I cannot speak too highly of your Electropathic Appliances ; it has made me feel quite a diffe- rent man. I shall always recommend it." bole Agent tor Advertisements, JAMES WILLING, 125, STRAND, LONDON, To whom all corrmunieatiow respecting Advertisements must be addressed. 4 T H E P O L I C E G A Z E T T E.

Behold the wise men of the East! from the midst of a perverse and evil nation, from distant regions, shrinking from no expense, from no weariness, from no danger. They came. And when was it that they came 1 When all the world was full of idolatry, when the earth was full of darkness and gloom. . . When was it that they came 1 When Christ was a babe, when He lay upon straw, when He showed naught but weakness, when He had as yet done no miracles. " We beheld His star in the East." Behold— they saw His star, but no other miracle. They beheld not the blind restored to sight, nor the dead raised, nor any other visible thing. " And we come to worship Him." We have made a great journey only to worship the footprints of the Babe. If only we may see Him, may adore Him, may touch Him, if only we may lay our gifts before Him, we deem ourselves blessed. We have forsaken our country, our families, our friends, our kingdoms, our great riches ; we have come from a distant land, through many dangers, and with much speed, and solely to worship Him. That is sufficient for us, this is more to us than our very life. . . What shall we say to these things, brethren? O living faith ! O highest charity ! See ye, then, how great was the perfidy of the Judeans, how great the hardness of their hearts, since neither by miracles, nor by prophecies, nor by this voice were they moved. . . But why do we speak against the men of Judea, not against ourselves? Why do we see their mote, and not the beam in our own eye? Behold, the Lord Jesus is no longer a babe in the manger, but is great in Heaven. Already hath He preached and performed miracles, hath been crucified, hath risen again, now sitteth at the Right Hand of God, hath sent His Holy Spirit, hath sent His apostles. Already the Kingdom of Heaven is every- where— the door is open Have vie come ? SAVONAROLA. ( Part of Epiphany Sermon of 16th Century.)
