"Dear Sir,—l have been a great sufferer from Lumbago—in fact, i'ov the last Gi years I have not been free from it for one minute; and to make things worse, about two years and nine months since Neuralgia of the Bladder set in which has been dreadful!;." 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 neen 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 ray 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 gaining relief. " 1 am, yours truly, "James Si_tob._ "G.
