ELECTRO-GALVANIC MACHINES, 

 FOR ADMINISTERING MEDICAL GALVANISM. 



Amongst other enumerations of diseases in which the following machines are 

 effective, are tooth-ache, tic-doloreux, neuralgia, rheumatism, paralysis, spasms, ague, etc. 

 On this subject Abernethy says, " Electricity is a part of surgical practice that may "be 

 considered unique all other means operate on the surface, but electricity will pervade 

 the very centre of the body." E. W. Tuson, F.R.S., says, in The Medical Times, 

 " Medical agents will do much in the treatment of disease, but magneto-electricity dees 

 more." On consulting the opinions of the highest medical authorities on this subject, 

 it would seem that for most diseases a power of mitigation or removal is thus given as 

 startling as it is effective. 



Electro-Galvanic Machines^ of the most improved form for administering medical 

 galvanism ; so arranged as to yield a current of the galvanic fluid of great 

 quantity, flowing in one direction only, with the power of regulating it so 

 that it may be applied alike to the strongest or most delicate person, 

 without producing the least unpleasant sensation
