GALVANO-THERAPEUTICON. 63 



incomparably superior to anything of the kind we have seen. 

 The Galvanic current can be so regulated by a beautifully simple 

 method, contrived by the inventor, that the most delicate persons 

 receive it with expressions of approbation and pleasure; an 

 advantage, the importance of which will be appreciated in no 

 small degree by the medical practitioner and Galvanist. Another 

 distinguishing characteristic of this machine is its compactness 

 and elegant appearance, as will be seen by reference to the 

 accompanying sketch. 



As the Therapeuticon will speak for itself, its advantages 

 being so obvious, we need say nothing farther to advance its 

 superior claims, other than that, to the most distinguished patron- 

 age, is added the unqualified encomium of some of the first men 

 in the scientific world, as the note (which we have taken the 

 liberty to subjoin) from that eminent chemist, James Marsh, 

 Esq. will suffice to shew : 



"MY DEAR SIR, 



" I have taken much pains to examine the arrangement 

 of the Therapeuticou, as proposed by your son, and have much 

 pleasure in saying that, in my opinion, it is by far the best form of 

 the apparatus I have yet seen. The method by which any current 

 within the power of the instrument can be readily and instantaneously 

 obtained, and as quickly reduced to a degree scarcely perceptible to 

 the feeling, is, in my opinion, entirely new, and very perfect in its 

 action on the human frame, as I have repeatedly experienced. 



" Trusting the instrument will meet with that general use which 

 I consider it entitled to, 



" I am, My Dear Sir, 



" Yours truly, 

 " To C. Brown, Esq. Woolwich." " JAMES MARSH." 



To the experience of Mr. Marsh, might be added that of the 

 numerous officers composing the Medical Staff of the Royal 

 Military Hospitals of Woolwich, and of many private practitioners, 

 to the successful employment of Galvanism therapeutically. In 

 the practice of Mr. Brown are very many and highly interesting 

 cases, a selection from which may on some future occasion be 

 given.
