ELECTRICIAN, of Towanda, respect fullv informs the public that he has lately procured j from New York the celebrated Electro-Chemical Bath, 1 which has proven to be one of the mw*t important anl | wonderful discoveries of the age, from its ability to extract minerals from the human system. Some eight years ago. a physician of Cincinnati disco vered the process of extracting minerals from the body, j by galvanism : more recently. M. Verges, of New York, aii electro-gilder, having suffered from the introduction of poisonous minerals into his system in the prosecution of his art, conceived the Idea of removing them by the same processes, he succeeded in doing so, and quickly recovered. lit' then applied the same means to others similarly af fected, with like results. His success exceeded his mo.-t sanguine expectations, for uot only did these Baths remove mineral poisons, hut cured many diseases, some of which were the result of minerals, and some were uot. More recent experiments have fully confirmed the sin gular power of this Bath to draw from the system all mi nerals that may Le lodged therein, to the great detriment of health. Very often persons are afflicted by diseases which are beyond the comprehension of the most skilful physicians, and which are the effect of poisonous mine rals accumulating in the system for years, taken in the shape of calomel, lead. Ac. Ac. The following arc some of the diseases cured hy t'ic-e laths: Rheumatism, Paralysis, Paly, Painter's i'holic. Chronic Ulcere, Glandular Swellings, Scrofula. Cancer, Xeuralia in all its forms, Salt Rheum and Humors of all kinds. He has also K. B. Smith's newlv invented DIRECT AND TO-AND FRO KLK< TKO.M VGNETIC M ACHINE, which is a great iinjwoveincnt ou the Magnetic naudiinc* hereto fore iu use. With the aid of the Hath and Machine, we have at command all the available medical efficiency of Electricity. The medical power of the Machine is verv great, in "introducing medicines into the system through the pore* of the skin- -npplvlng it directly to the parts af fected, which gives a* in'-reuse of medicinal power over that of taking it into the stomach, rendering it particular ly efficacious in all local disease*. lam now prepared to apply these Ruths, and also the ! Machines, at mv house in the south oart f the borongh , of Towanda. or 1 will visit patients at a distance, who are | unable by reason of disease to come to this place, at mo j derate prices. 1 am also sole agent for Bradford cminlv. for the almve Machine*.
