PULVJEKMACHER'S PATENT GALVANIC CHAIN-BANDS, BELTS, AND BATTERIES (RECENTLY IMPROVED). Vital energy, it i= well known, depends upon the normal functions of the nervo-el±ctric fluid governing the whole economy ; any deficiency t'aereof in the system manifests itself, according to the locality, by a variety of troublesome ail men's, such as Indigestion Liver Complaints Neuralgia Sciatica Deafnes3 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 conitcture. but an established scientific fac", and it must be admitted that PL'LVERMaCHER'S GALVANIC CHAIN BANDS, by supplying this e'ectrical deficiency, constitutesnature's most congenial curative in the ailments referied to, embodying a host of remedies in one. Thirty years' successful exnerience 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 26,1577. "Dear Sir,—l have been a great sufferer from Lumbago—in fact, for the last 6i years I have not been free from it for one minute ; anil to make things worse, about two years and nine month? 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 Neuralsria in the Bladder left me in a week (mostly in the morn inz, I could scarcely crawl out of bed for it), and the Lumbago i 3 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 gaining relief. "1 am, yours truly, "James Slator. "G.
