From among the Ihonsands r,f TestimonwlT to the extraordinary Curative power of theso Galvanic Appliances, we extract the following as being horonghly reliable: — TO THE.EDITOR OF THli "CHRISTIAN WORLD." Sin. —Knowing *h»t your valuable journal has ever been a m dium of doing g. cd. not bn'y io tho souls of men, but also to t__c;r bodies, as eiincd by tbe great Interest you have •.rev tali en in ihe benevolent moveraei_-S of 'ihe 'lay. Ibav* taken the liberty to address yo'i upon a enlrjoct which often appeals in your advertifeing columns, but which I fear, either thr.ougli ienorance of its <_rcat value or the f. jar of being duped, is overlooked by a very large number of yonr rea 'ers I allndo to medical galvanism, as applied for the cure of disease, ' ".it mor.. espec'aily that system of self-applicstfon invented br Mr Pulvermacher, Many of the esses which have come before me have been treated for months, ard some for years, by men of undoubted ability and skill in the medical pro fession, who have taken the utmost pains, and ex hausted i:Yc'-y resource of the apothecary in vain, have been cv co by Pulvermacher's system in t, few weeks. I wilr not say that every case has mttw'th like results, but I do affirm that the proportion of success which ha- attended, my feeble efforts during tho lar-;t two or three years would be sufficient to establish a first-class reputation for anymedical man, especially considering that iv ariy all the patients had been un-.ter good medical treatment,, aud many of them had been eive!. up as hopeless. Will you allow me to recite a few facts? NEURALGIA. months since I lent a 103 0d band to n lady who had been a great sufferer from neuralgia for four months. She stated that ?he had been under the cr.re of two eminent medical men (whos° names f- he gave), bu_ that rtie had not obtained th n smnl!»st relief ; nhe bad not been .".ble to gft one hour's sound sleep for ninny weeks: that she was almost in dis traction from tho const art severity of the pain. I placed tho band upon her head, requesting her to wear it till the pain ceased. I called upon her a week after, when she exrressed her deep gratitude for my kindness, stating that Bhe was entirely free from pain, and 1 art elept Foundjy all night for several nights, and that her strength was rapidly recovering. NERVOUS DEBILITY. Last summer a gentlman wroeto me from Hor bury oomplaining of great nervous debility and prostration. Ho liad tried medical aid in v-in. He feared luh ac?e was against him, being near 70 but if 1 thought there was hope he would try. I advised him to try the 60s combined band. ITe did not re ceive "ny great benefit for several trials, wrote me one or two despairing letters, but I encouraeed him to perspvere. I heard nothing of him from October until six wreks since, when he wroie me a letter ex pressing 1 is gratitude in no measured t'-rms, stating that ho was quite recovered ; that be hud enjoyed the be=t winter's health during the last winter which he had known for many vea-s. RHEUMATISM. Thirtefn months aco I met "a well-known and highly respeotiible solicitor of this town, walking at a very feeble pace, as if in great pain, With a staff in one hand and the other band stretched out as stiff as fit bad ii' ither life nor power. I took tbe liberty to st-ip him and nsk the nature of his cmnp'nint. He informed me that lv wis a great sufferer from rheu matism, which extended from the siiouldcrs to the tip ot bis fingers, causing Irs aim to become quite stiff; that be had received the best medical advice, got, no relief, bm was in great pain night and day. I stronedy advised him to try a gslvanie band, which he ultimately desired I would obtain for Mm It rea' hXd from tbe shoulder to the palm of tbe hand, coiled all round the arm. Ten days nfter ho c m menced to ■K'ear it he called upnn me, pined tbe afflicted arm over bis shoulder'with perfect ease, ex claiming, " Thanks to you, Scatter; you are a capital doctor." In three months he was perfectly recovered, and has bad no rett'in of tho malady. WEAKNESS IN LOINS. Lf.flt October a minister wrote me from Ruphv' stating that he suffered severe pain, attei clod with great weakness in th° Joins and legs, so thrvt be could not rise tr''in bis chair or w<d_r anywhere with ut ' help. I arhi'.(''i him to get a spine b'.nd for the loirs, ».nd a tiar-ow or,? for ihe l"fts. nu wrote to m" a few wrel s ago expressing htr. warmest pr*tltnde and stating that in three weeks f'om the time he com menced to wear the;bands he was so far recovered as o rise and walk arTwee^c without help. INDIGESTION. A bout the same tim* a farrr,or residing at B'lekle fham-a gent'erne.n well-known tn this neighbourhood —clled to s.cek my ad-i™. He :;tr.;ed that, his diges tion was :o we^k that his s'tornach rejected the simplest diet, evon :: !>owl of milk from bis own fairy («hich of course wan minus the ch-Ik), tkat he nften felt, as he should fall (in the fields from sheer fairiness ss he went about I recommended him to try the 603 combined band. He called again in six weeks, thanhed mo most heartily, and declared that he felt physically a now man. To use his own words, he said: " I hive no tronbla to eat my food, or to get about anywhere, for I fcol is if I bad a new staiuiaa SCIATICA. .Six weeks _inco one of the principal traflesmea of his town, well-known to nearly every ii'lmbi ant, crawled into my bouse with great difficulty upon a crutch and a stuff, _ ie was in such great pain as to make, it diificult for lira torrhcarfe liir; r„so. At last he informed we th_t lie had ben i.re;-t:.-4 for Kciatv:* by a highly respfeCfJ'.Vile physician whom he named but that be had candidly &:isurud him that he feared Ire was beyond tbe reach of medicine, and advised him to try g__lvan?sr_j ; an 1 that be bad frito recom mended bita to :-eek my advic;- _.s to the bes:t mode of t-re.»tm<uit, I obtained for Mm a sultiblo ba"d,which he at once commenced to wear, md in v, fortnight, he cast away his crutches, and can now walk erect, and attend to his business. He told me a few days sl'ico that ho had no pain row ; only a little weakness remained, which be hoped would soon pass off; and that he was nut preparing to go a journey of several hundred miks. NEURALGIA. M.B, Norwich Road, Ipswich—About ten monitis since a poor woman called upon mo, stating that his wifo had loiig ix:en a grevious sufferer frotn Neuralgia in hif, T__mp__es and Pace. He said tho pain wa;= so severe, and her groana so piteous, that his life w___; quite miserable. I advised him No 2 Band, but he said that unfortunately he had been out of work for six weeks, and could not raise more than two-tliirels of the cost, but my sympathy had been so aroused by his statement that I gave him the remiinder from my own pocket. He never returned to report, bit a few weekn after,liir Shipley, one of the Town Missionaries .called upon me, and stated that he had recommended the man to come, and that the Loor woman was catnpletdly recovered, but that he feared if she hart not. soon obtained relief she would have gone mad, for her cries of suffering bad long been so distressing as to alarm her neighbours. He also said, the success of yonr Bands in that case hid deeply interested him in the subject of Medical Galvanism, aud ho has already recommended several patients. NERVOUS DEPRESSION. __Mr N, Ipswich, one of our largest drapers, called upon mo in March last., to ask my opinion of his sister's caso. He stated that she was in a low, nervous state, suffering from constant headache, iudicestion, and general exhaustion ; she h!»d long been ..under medical care, but medicine had failed to reach her case. I advised a set of Bands arranged to cover the nervous centres giving full directions, A few weeks since, her brother called again, stating that the result h«d been highly pleasing and satisfactory, and that nil her friends were surprised and delighted at the great Improvement which had Ul_en place.
