"What though the causes may not be explained, Since their effects are duly ascertained, Let not delusion, prejudice, or pride, Induce mankind' to set the means aside; Means which, tho' simple, are by Heavenidesign'd To alleviate the ills of human kind." DR. CIIRISTIE'S GALVANIC RINGS AND MAG NETIC FLUID. THIS remarkable invention, which has received the universal approbation of the medical profes sion of Great Britain, comprises an entirely new ap plication of Galvanism, as a remedial agent, by means of which the ordinary Galvanic Batteries, Electric and Magnetic Machines, &c.,-are entirely dispensed with, and the mysterious power of Galvanism applied without any of the objections which are inseparable from the general mode now in use. The strong dos es, and irregular intervals, in which Galvanism isap plied by the Machines, has been pronounced, alter a fair and impartial trial, to.be decidedly injurious, and it was to remedy this radical defect that this new ap plication was projected, which, after unceasing toil, and perseverance, has been brought to its present state of perfection. The Galvanic Rings answer all the purposes of the most expensive Machines, and in many other respects are more safe and certain in accomplishing the desired effect. The Galvanic Rings used in connection with the Magnetic Fluid, are confidently recommended in all disorders which arise from an enfeebled and unhealthy slate of the nervous or vital system, and these com plaints are among the most painful and universal to which we are subject. They arise, without exception, from one simple cause—a derangement of the Nerv ous System—and it was in these cases that other 'remedies' having so often failed, a new agent was greatly needed, which it is confidently believed, has been found in the proper and judicious application of Galvanism. The Galvanic Rinp have been used with entire success in all eases of RHEUMATISM, acute or chronic, applying to the head, face or limbs, Gout, Tic-Dolo reuz, Toothache, Bronchitis, Vertigo, Nervous Sick Headache, Indigestion, Paralysis, Palsy, Epilepsy, Fits, Cramp, Palpitations of the Heart, Apoplezy, Stiffness of Joints, Spinal Complaints, Lumbago, Neuralgia; Nervous Tremors, Dizziness of the Read, pain' In the Chest and Side, General Debility, Deficien cy of Nervous and Physical Energy, and all NERV OUS DISORDERS. In cases ofconhirmed Dyspepsia, which is simply a nervous derangement of the diges tive organs, they have been found equally successful. Their extraordinary effects upon the system must be witnessed to be, believed, and as a certain preventive for the preceding complaints they arc equally recom mended. The Rings are of different prices, being made oral! sizes, and of variant ornamental patterns, and can be worn by the most delicate female without the slightest inconvenience. In fact, the sensation is rather agreeable than otherwise. The Galvanic Belts, Bracelets, Bands, Garters, Necklaces, &c. I In some cases of a very severe character, and of long standing, the power as applied by the Galvanic Rings is not sufficient to arrest the progress of disease and ultimately restore health. The improved modi fication in the Galvanic Belts, Bracelets, entire ly remedies this objection; any degree of power that is required can readily be obtained, and no complaint which the mysterious agent of Galvanism can effect Hill fail to be permanently relieved. These articles are adapted to the waists, arms, wrists,limbs, antics, or any part of the body, with perfect convenience. ' The Galva:axe Necklaces arc used with greater bene-1 tit in cases of Bronchitis or affections of the throat generally; also in cases of Nervous Deafness; and with almost !Mete.] as a preventive thr Apo- I plexy, Eptlepttc Fits, and similar complaints. Christ ie's Magnetic Fluid it nerd in connection with the Galvanic Rings and all their moat Itcations. This composition has been pronounced It; the French Chemists to ne one of the most ettraordtnary discoveries Or MiACtil science. It is brlir,ed to possess the remarkable power of ren- I drink Nir nrrres sensitive to golrouit- action by that mra n, cativo?, a concentration of the influence, at the seat of disease, thus giving rapid and permanent re-I Itof. No other composition in chemistry is known to I produce the same effect, or to impart a similar Fp- rertv to the nervous s, stem, by means (d'art outward its-al application. The Magneto- Fluid contains noth ing capable of the slightest injury; its application Is I agreeable, and it is as harmless 11, its action as it is I beneficial in its results. Full explanations and dtree- I tiona accompany it. The combined inventions are in! r.rry way perfectly harmless; they arc sold at prices within the reach of all and the discoverer only - re-. quests a fair trial as a test of their surprising efficacy end permanent benefit. Chrisdic's tlairtuale Strengthening Phis sera. ' Theev articles form another valuable application of the mysterious influence olGalvanism. They are an important adjunct to the genuine Galvanic Rings ' and thou modifications, acting upon the same princa ' ple, but !lasing the advantage of more local applica tion. They ale confidently recommended as a valu ' able addition in the speedy cure ofttheumatism,acute ! or chronic; in all nervous complaints, and as a psi , bar remedy in CZ-WS of Pain and Weakness in the Chest or hark, Pain in the Side,in Asmatic Affections, and in Weakness or Oppression of the Pulmonary Or- Runs. In Spinal Complaints their effects are of the most decided character, and they have otlen been u s ed with complete success. They are also of the greatest advantage in Pains and Weakness of the Breast,and are highly recommended Ayr many of those complaints to vv loch roma les are especially liable. As an effectual means for strengthening the system when debibtated with disease nr other causes; as 11 certain aid in Constitutional Weakness, as a Preventive of Colds, and in all affections of the Chest, generally, the Galvanic Strengthening Plaster will be found great and permanent advantage. In a few words; it embrace's all the virtues of the best tonic preparation, with the important addition of the galvanic influence,' which is neither unpaired nor exhausted, while the action continues. These articles will be found entire ly free from those 'objections which are o constant source of complamt with the ordinary plasters in common use. IHMEM2I The great celebrity and success of these arti cles have caused them to be counterfeited by enprin cipled persons. To provide against imposition, Dr. Cnitis-rie has but one authorized agent in each city of the Union. The only agent in Pittsburgh, _ W. W. WILSON. CERTIFICATES AND TESTIMONIALS, Of the highest and most: respectable character, are constantly received, regarding the extraordinary value and success ofthe above articles. It is believ ed that in the city of New York alone, upwards of, EIGHT THOUSAND PERSONS during a period off less than a year, have been entirely relieved of the most painful chronic disorders, soma of which have completely baffled all former efforts of medical art. indeed many Of the first physicians of this city, who disapprove of the Galvanic and Magnetic Machine, constantly recommend this application in their prac tice, and with the exception of those who are too prejudiced to give it a trial, the invention has re ceived unanimous favor with the most intelligent among the American Faculty. Dr. Christie is at all times ready and most happy to give every facility•to physicians, and all interested, for testing the truth of his assertions and the efficacy of his discovery.

So famed, it seems, is this medicine, that it has thus attracted the notice of one of our Medical publications. In the November No. 1846, ef the, "Buffalo Journal and Monthly Review of Medicall and Surgical Science,'t in an article upon calculous diseases, and "solvents," the writer, after noticing the fact that the English government once purchased a secret remedy, and also noticing the 'purchase in ' 1802, of a secret remedy, by the Legislature of New York, thus pays tribute to the fame of the Medicine: "Why do not our Representatives in Senate and Assembly convened, enlighten and 'dissolve' the suffering thousands of this country, by the purchase' of Vaughn's Vegetable Lithontriptic, than which no' Solvent since the days of Alchemy has passesped one half the fame I" Reader, here is a periodical ofhigh standing, acknowledlett throughout a large section, of this country to be one of the besteonducted jour- 1 nals of the kind in the United States. exchanging' ' with the scientific works of Europe to our certain knowledge, edited by Austin Flint, M.

You will at once understand no serdehoton and Worth less nostrum, could thus extort a comment trom so high a quarter—and consequently , unless it directly conflicted with the practice of the faculty,-it most have been its great "fame" which has caused it to receive this passing nod.

As a remedy for, the irregularities of the re male system, it has in the compound a "root" which has been resorted to in the north of Europe for cen tunes—as a sore cure for this complaint, and a re storer of the health of the entire system.
