THE ELECTRO CHEMICAL BATH
DIRECT & TO-& FRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE.
J 'AMES HARRIS, Elf triciak, of Towanda, respect
fully informs tlic public tliat he has lately procured
from New York the celebrated Electro-Chemical Bath,
which has proven to bo one of the most 'important and
wonderful discoveries of the age. from its ability to extract
minerals from the human system.
Rome 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 introduction of
poisonous minerals into his system in the prosecution of
his art, conceived the idea nf'removing them hy the same
processes, lie 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 inost
sanguine expectations, for not only did these Baths remove
mineral poisons, hut 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 he lodged therein, to the great detriment
of health. Very often persons are afflicted by diseases
which arc beyond the comprehension of the mo-.;, skilful
physicians, and which are the effhet 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 Cholic.
Chronic Ulcers. Glandular Swellings, Scrofula, Cancer,
Neural ia in all its forms. Salt Rheum and Humors of all
kinds.
He lias also K. R Smith's newly invented DIRECT AND
TO-AXD FRO EI.Et TRO M AGXETIC M ACHIXE, which
is a great improvement on the Magnetic machines hereto
fore in use. With the aid of the P.ath and Machine, we
have at command all the available medical efficiency of
Electricity. The medical power of tiny Machine is very
great, in introducing medicines into the system through
the [lores 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.
I am now prepared to apply these Baths, and also the
Machines, at my house in the south part of the borough
of Towanda, or I will visit patients at a distance, who arc
unable by reason of disease to come to this place, at mo
derate prices.
1 am also sole agent for Bradford conntv. for the above
Machines. JAMES HARRIS.
