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. JAMES HARRIS.
