THE ELECTRO CHEMICAL BATH, DIRECT &. TO & FRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE. JAMES HARRIS, ELECTRICIAN, of Towanda, respect fully informs the public that he has lately procured from New York the celebrated Electro-Chemical Bath, which has proven to be one of the most "important ami 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 frum the body, by galvanism ; more recently. M. Verges, of New York, an electro-gilder, having suffered from the introduction of poisonous minerals into his system in the prosecution ot his art, conceived the idea of removing them by the same processes, he succeeded in doing so, and quickly recovered. He then applied the samp 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 tie lodged therein, to the great detriment of health. Very often persons are afilicted 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 are some of the diseases cured by these baths: Rheumatism. Paralysis, Palsy, Painter's ('holic, Chronic Ulcers. Glandular Swellings, Scrofula, Cancer, Xeuralia in all its forms, Salt Rheum and Humors of all kinds. He has also S. B. Smith's newly invented DIRECT A ND TO-AND-FRO ELE( TRO MAGNETIC 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 ol 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 particul ;r --ly efficacious in all local diseases. " 1 am now prepared to apply these Baths, and also the Machines, at my house in the south part of the liorough 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. I am also sole agent for Bradford county, for the above Machines. JAMES HARRIS. T i wunda. December 22. I*. LIQUOR STORE.
