GREATEST WONDER OF THE AGE

GREATEST WONDER OF THE AGE.
DATENT GALVANIC RING, AND MAG
i NETIC FLUID.--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
care with astonishing rapidity rheumatism, govt,
tic-dooreux, 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
vanc 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.

A FACT FOR THE CURloUs.-A. w.
Palmer, of Cheam, in Surrey, England,
tried a very striking experiment respecting
the production Of wheat. In July, l64l,
he put ore grain OF wheat into a common
garden pot--in August he divided i, into
four plants, and in three weeks again divi.
ded these into twelve plants-in September
these plants were divided into thirty-two },
which in November were divided nto if-
,y,and he then placed them in open ground.
In July OF 1852, twelve Of them had
failed. but the remainder were healthy
On the 19lh Of August they were cut down,
and couEted 2l97 stems, with an average
of so grains TO the stem, giving thus the
increase Of $4,000 grans.-South West
