sensation increased rapidly rs TO completely paEayze

pervade the yste called for assistance and had
the negative button quickly placed IN the lett hand ana inc

machine We soon felt pleasant sensation from the ac
ton of the instrument-the horrible aching sensauon pe

very nearly and the motion of the arm restored In hs
case the disease in the left of the boy was con-
duced from the LEFT arm by the current from the pos

This manner OF mngnctzng is very pleasant one for
patients but sometimes have now learnt very dan
gcrous one for magnetizers.
The most severe choc pains arc reduced with great
udy by the action of the machines as we are informed
by several physicians Two cases OF recent dropsyohe
from chronic erosis tubercuar disease oi the heart a
muscles and the other from chronic seross OF the liver ana
right kidney have also informed, been promptly re-
moved by the action OF these instruments.
Asthmas which have long defed every other remedy,
have ready yielded TO the action OF these machines In
these cases patients should be magnezed as In Brochus

without variation of intensity except by the action Of the
