THE ELECTRO CHEMICAL BATH,
DIRECT & TO &. FRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE,
JAMES HARRIS, ELECTRICIAN, of Towanda, respect
fully informs the public that helms lately procured
from New York the celebrated Electro-Chemical Bath,
which has proven to he oue of the most "important and
wonderful discoveries of the age. from its ability to extract
minerals from the human system.
Some eight year® ago. a physician of Cincinnati disco
vered the process of extracting minerals from the bod v.
by galvanism : more recently, M. Verges, of New York,
aii electro-gilder, having suffered from the introduction of
poisonous minerals into his system in the prosecution of
iiis art. conceived the idea of removing them by the same
processes, he succeeded in doing so, and qnickly recovered.
He then applied the same means to other* similarly af
fected. witli 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 bv diseases
which are beyond the comprehension of the most skilful
physicians, and which are the effect of poi.->unous mine
rals nceumulutng in the system for years, taken in the
shape of calomel, lead, 4c. 4c.
The following are some of the diseases cured by these
baths: Rheumatism, Paralysis, Palsy, Painter's Cholic,
Chronic Ulcers. Glandular Swellings, Scrofula. Cancer.
Xeuralia in all its forms, Suit Rheuiu mid Hmnors of all
kiuds.
He has also S. B-Smith'snewlvinvented DIRECT AND
TO AND-KRO ELEX"II'O M AGNETICM ACIfINB. 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 is very
great, in introducing modieiues into the system through
the pores of the skin—applying it directly to t he parts af
fected, which gives an increase of medicinal power over
that of taking it into the stomach, rendering it particular
ly efficacious in nil local diseases.
1 am now prepared to apply these Baths, and also the
Machines, at my house in the south part of the borough
of Towanda, or t will visit patients at a distance, who arc
unable by reason of disease to come to this place, at mo
derate prices.
I am also sole agent for Bradford countv, for tho above
Machines. JAMES HARRIS.
