THE ELECTRO CHEMICAL BATH, DIRECT & TO SC FRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE, TAMES HARRIS, ELECTRICIAN, of Towanda, respect fully informs the public that he lias lately procured from New York the < ck-brated 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 from the body, by galvanism ; more recently, M. Verges, of New York, au electro-gilder, having suffered from the introduction of poisonous minerals into his system in the prosecution of ids ait. conceived the idea of removing them by the -ame processes, he succeeded in doing so. and quickly recovered. He then applied the same means to others similarly af fected, with like results. Hie, success exceeded his most sanguine expectations, fur 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 be lodged '.herein, to the great detriment of health. Very often persons are afflicted by diseases which are lu-yoiul the comprehension of the most skilful physicians, and which are the effect of poisonous mine rals accumulating in the tysteiu 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 Cholic, Chronic Ulcers. Glandular Swellings, Scrofula, ( sneer. Xctiralia in all its forms, .Salt Rheum and Humors of all kinds. He has also 8. B.Smith'sncwlv invented DIRECT AND TO-AND--FRO ELECTRO M AGNKTIC MACHINE.which is a great improvement on the Magnetic machines hereto fore in use. With the aid of the Batli and Machine, we have at command all the available medical efficiency of Electricity. The medical power of the Machine invert' great, in introducing medicines into the system through the pores of the skiu— applying it directly to the parts af fected. which give an increase of medicinal power over that of taking it into the stomach, rendering it particular ly efficacious in all loral disca-es. I am noV prepared to apply these Baths, and also the Machines, at my house in the south part of the borough of Tow anda, or I 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.
