GREATEST WONDER OF THE AGE.

DATENT GALVANIC RING, AND MAG
i NETIC FLUlD.-These wonderful Rings,
and the Galvanic 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 rapdity rheumatism, govt,
c-doloreux, fits cramp, sick headache, indigestion,
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 ID. A.
Christie who warns the American public, from the
beginning, to beware of spurious limitations. To
guard against fraud, !,e vii, appoint but one agency
