[Extract from the Baltimore “ American,’’ 
December 111, 1878.] 
“The Pulvcrraaclier Electric Belt is recom¬ 
mended to general use for tho following rea¬ 
sons: First, for its wonderful properties for 
the cure of diseases of the kidneys, stomach, 
liver and blood; secondly, for its extreme 
simplicity, and the fact of its being applied 
outside, precludes all possibility of any in¬ 
jury being done to tho patient, as an external 
remedy Is universally acknowledged to be 
safe. Another advantage is the facility with 
which the progress of the disease and ctn • 
can be watched, and if the Belt be not quite 
in tho right place, It can be very easily read¬ 
justed so as to cover the parts affected. Tho 
Pulvermucher F.Ieolric Belt, and its perlec- 
tion, has been bailed with delight, not only 
by the sufferers who have regained health, 
enjoyment, and a new lease of life through 
its beneficent qualities, but by the medical 
profession, who very frequently prescribe its 
use to their patients.”
