 a satisfactory nature.

BELTS & SUSPENSORIES. 



FOB. MEDICAL PURPOSES. 



Dr. Bryan's Perfected Electro- Voltjiic and Magnetic Appliances surpass all other methods of treat- 

 ment for 'their wonderful recuperative power in cases arising from 



Lobs of Nervous or Vital Energy, Harrass of Business, Excessive Mental Application, t" 

 Malarious Poisoning or Acts of Imprudence, 



causing Physical Weaknss and Nervous Prostration, Nervous Debility. Seminal Weaknes". Impotency. 

 Brain Troubles. Epilepsy, Paralysis, Spinal Disorders. Dyspeps.a, Heart Troubles. Kidney Diseases, and 

 other functional derangements. 



Medicine Fails to Cure these Diseases, 

 Electricity properly applied, with cont nunus current night and day to the body, will cure them. IT IS 

 XATllItE'8 KKMEDV. It gives force to the brain, digestive functions and circulatory forces, and 

 rtnews the vital action so necessary to recovery. 



Dr. Bryan's invention is patented, and has proved itself invaluable in many thousand cases. 



Beware of Frauds -this is the Only Genuine. 



Reader, if you are a sufferer it will do you no harm to send a statement of your case to us, and you 

 will be advised bv our Medical Electrician in relation to it. Enclose postage, and prompt attention will be 

 given Address, ELECTRO APPLIANCE COMPANY - , Limited, .a- 



Bond Street, near Broadway, New York. 



nstead of sending silver money in 

 letters, procure 1, 2 or 3 cent stamps. 

 We can use them, and it is safer to send 

 such than silver. 



A Smooth Complexion can be had by 

 every lady who will use Parker's Ginger 

 Tonic. For promptly regulating the 

 liver and kidneys and purifying the 

 blood there is nothing like it, and this 

 is the reason why it so quickly removes 

 pimples and gives a rosy bloom to the 

 cheek. See notice.
