WELLES A CO. THE ELECTRO CHEMICAL BATH, DIRECT & TO-& FRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE. JAMES HARRIS, EI.KCTKICIAX, of Towanda, respect fully informs the public that he has lately procured from New York the celebrated Electro-Chemical Bath, which has proven to Is- one of the most "important and 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, by galvanism ; more recently, M. Verges, of New York, an electro-gilder, having suffered from the introduct ion of poisonous minerals into his system in the prosecution of his art, conceived the idea of removing tlieni by the same processes, he succeeded in doing so, and quickly recovered. He then applied the same means to others similarly af fected, with like results. His success exceeded his most sanguine expectations, for not only did these Baths remove mineral poisons, but cured many diseases, some of which 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 mi nerals that may lie 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 tlie effect of poisonous mine ral's accumulating in the system for years, taken in the shape of calomel, lead, Ac. Ac. Tlie following are some of the diseases cured by these baths: Rheumatism, Paralysis, Palsy, Painter's Cholic, Chronic Ulcers, Glandular Swellings, Scrofula, Cancer, Neural in in all its forms, Salt Rheum and Humors of all kinds. He has also S.R. Smith's now! v invented DIRECT AND TO-AND-FRO ELECTROMAGNETIC M ACHINE. which 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 the system through the pores of the skin—applying it directly to the parts af fected, which gives an increase of-medicinal power over that of taking it into the stomach, rendering it particular ly efficacious in all local diseases. 1 am now prepared to apply these Baths, and also the Machines, at mv house in the south part of the imrdligh of Towanda, or 1 will visit patients at a distance, who are unable by reason of disease to come to this place, at mo derate prices. 1 am also sole agent for Bradford county, for the above Machines.
