GREATEST WONDER OF IftE AGE.
DATENT GALVANIC RING, AND MAG
i NETIC FLUID.-These wonderful Rings,
and the Gavanic Fluid, have created great sensa-
ton throughout Europe, and are attracting crowds
to see them, both in New York and Boston. They
cure with astonishing rapidity rheumatism, govt,
paralysis, stiff joints, general debility, deficiency OF
nervous energy, and all nervous disorders. They
produce all the beneficial results of the ordinary gal
vanic battery, or electric and magnetic machines,
without the injurious shocks which always accom-
pany their application. The secret Of preparing
the Ring was discovered by Professor Harmance
Christie, of London, in October last, and they have
been recently introduced into this country by Dr. A.
Christie, who warns the American public, from the
beginning, to beware of spurious limitations. To
guard against fraud, he will appoint but one agency
in each of the cities of the United States.
