MAGNETO-ELECTRIC MACHINES, 



PIKE'S ROTARY MAGNETIC MACHINE. (Fig. 468.) 



Introduced November, 1843. 



THE favor with which these little machines have been 

 received by many of the medical profession, and others who

 curvatures of the spine, toothache, sprains, deafness, and 

 many other diseases. The manufacturer being the improver 

 and first introducer of the Improved Medical Magnetic 

 Machine, and a practical magnetic instrument maker for the

 instruments, and at prices as low as any in the market, and 

 he can with confidence recommend the superiority of these 

 machines over all others in use ; and as there are machines 

 made of very indifferent workmanship, and which are soon 

 put out of order, would state for the benefit of those abroad,
