TO St FRO ELEcTftO MAGNETIC MACHINE. JAMES HARRIS, ELECTRICIAN, of Towanda, respect fully informs the public that be lias lately procured j from New York the celebrated Bleetro-Cbemical Bath. I which has proven to Is 1 one of the most important and wonderful discoveries of the nge, from its ability to extract minerals from the human system. ! Some eight years ago, a physician of Cincinnati diseo ' vered the process of extracting minerals from tlie body, bv galvanism ; more recently. M. Verges, of New York, ' an electro-gilder, having suffered from the introduction of jMii.soiious minerals into his system in the prosecution of ids art. conceived the idea of removing them by the same j processes, lie succeeded in doing so, and quickly recovered. ' He then applied the same means to other* similarly af , fected, with like results. His success exceeded his most sanguine expectations, for not oily did these Baths remove mineral poisons, hut cured many diseases, some of which I were the result of minerals, and some were not. More recent experiments have fully confirmed the sin | gular power of this Bath to draw from the system all tni ! nerals that may !>e lodged therein, to the great detriment of health. Very often persons are afflicted by diseases whicb are beyond the comprehension of the most skilful physicians, and which are the effect of poisonous mine rals accumulating in tlie system for years, taken ill the ; shape of calomel, lead, &e. &c. The following are some of the diseases cured by these baths : Rheumatism, Paralysis, Palsy, Painter's Cliolic, . Chronic Ulcers, Glandular Swellings, Scrofula, Caucer, I Xenralin in all its forms, Salt Rheum and Humors of all j kinds. i He has also S. B. Smith's newly invented DIRECT AND ! TO-AN'D FRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE, which j is a great improvement on the Magnetic machines hereto | fore in use. With the aid of the Bath and Machine, we have at command all the available medical efficiency of Electricity. The medical power of the Machine is very great, in "introducing medicines into tlie system through tlie pores of the skin—applying it directly to the parts af fected, which gtvi* an increase of medicinal power over that of taking it into the stomach, reudering it particular ly efficacious in all local diseases. I am now prepared to apply these Baths, and ulso the Machines, at my house In the south part of the borough of Towanda. or I wHI vf.-it patients at a distance, who are unable by reason of disease to come to this place, at mo derate prices. I aui also sole agent for Bradford county, for the above Machines. JAMES HARRIS. | Towanda, December 22,1865.
