Approved by the Academy of Medicine of Paris and other Medical authorities in England and abroad. These Medico-Electric Appliances, though used externally have an internal action and, owing to the Physiologi- cal, Physical, and Chemical effects of the Electricity which they gently and permanently impart to the system, they promote digestion, circulation, and nutri- tion, thereby assisting Nature in her efforts to restore the normal balance of health and vigour in a debilitated constitution. Electricity, the prime actor in the process of life per- vades all living organism, and its identity with nerve force is no conjecture, bnt a positive scientific fact, known to all versed in the teachings of Electro-physi- elogy. Consequently, in Nervous Exhaustion, Local Debility, and various functional Disorders, the result of electrical deficiency, the above Appliances are Nature's most congenial and reliable remedy, as is proved by the success of the past 30 years. Recent improvements also enable sufferers te benefit from the vast curative powers of these self-applicabie galvanic appliances in a warm, and dry state. MR PULVERMACHER would call attention to the following among the many eminent, scientific, a«d other Testi- monials tc the "aluG of his inventions, signed by the elite of the medical profession, as a recognition of "these great improvements. We, the undersigned, have much pleasure in leStify- ing that J. L. Pulvermacher's recent improvements "in his Voltaic UiKteries and Galvanic Appliances for medical purposes are of great importance to scien- "tifie medicine, and that he is entitled to the consider- "ration and support of every one disposed to further the advancement of real and useful progress."

THE BONA-FIDE EVIDENCE of the efficacy of these appliances is supplemented by the following paragraph recently found in the standard work [p: 7(3, of John King, M.D., Clinical Professor of Obstetrics at Cincinnati :— "In those cases where it is desirable to produce a continuous current of galvanism and without the inter- teution of conductors or electrodes, there is no instru- ment rtilel-ior to Pulvcrmacher's Improved Galvanic chains. .These Chains are very useful in many newous disorders: — Muscular Debility I Aphonia RU^itiau'sm Hemiplegia Epilepsy dyspepsia Paralysis Torpid Li v; Paralysis (Bladder) Central Paralysis Ast'/ma Chorea Spinal Paralysis Amenorrhoca Impotenev Neuralgia Dysmenorrhea Writer's Cramp Static a Spinal Irritation Hysterical Cramps Stifl'Joints I Debility and Contractions Hysteria t'on-(ijiut;on Loss ol Cmell Hysteric Paralysis De'nt»b (Nerv's) LotS of Ta.^te, &(-.
