JU PULVERMACHER'S PATENT GALVANIC CHAIN-BANDS, BELTS, AND BATTERIES (RECENTLY IMPROVED). Vital energy, it is well known, depends upon the normal functions of the nervo-electric fluid governing the whole economy ; any deficiency taereof in the system manifests its-elf, according to the locality, by a variety of troublesome ail mem s, such as . Indigestion Liver Complaints Neuralgia Sciatica Deafness Writer's Cramp Loss of Voice Asthma Bronchitis Paralysis Epilepsy Rheumatism Gout Constipation Local Debility . General Debility Female Complaints Mental and Physical Functional Disorders Weakness &c. &c, &c. This is no conjecture, but an established scientific fact, and it must be admitted that PULVERMACHER'S GALVANIC CHAIN BANDS, by supplying this electrical deficiency, constitutes nature's most congenial curative in the ailments referred to, embodying a host of remedies in one. Thirty years' successful experience has proved the marvellous remedial powers of these appli ances, even in cases defying ordinary treat ment. The following is spontaneous and remark able :— "Auckland, November 26, 1877. "Dear Sir,—l have been a great sufferer from Lumbago—in fact, for the last 6J years I have not been free from it for one minute; and to make things worse, about two years and nipe months since Neuralgia of the Bladder set in' which has been dreadfully painful and trouble some. I saw a short time since your advertise ments in reference to Pulvermacher's Galvanic Bands, and the cures affected by them, and being averse to taking medicine for these com plaints, I determined to try one. The result has ■ een something wonderful, the Neuralgia in the Bladder left me in a week (mostly in the morn ing, I could scarcely crawl out of bed for it), and the Lumbago is very nearly gone (it has been of such long standing that I never expected to get any better), and instead of my life been made miserable by these pains, I feel almost like another man. You are perfectly at liberty to publish this if you think fit, and perhaps it may be the means of some other unfortunate sufferer 8 aining relief. " 1 am, yours truly, "James Slator. " G.
