Dr. A II CHRisrIE-Dear Sir: You wish to know OF
me what has been the result in my own case, of the
application of II GALVANlC BELT AND NECK.
A My reply is as follows:
For about tVtnty gears | had been suffering from
Dyspepsia. Every year the symptoms became worse,
nor could Obtain permanent relief from any course
since, in consequence of frequent exposure to the
weather, in the discharge of my pastoral duties, I
became subject to a severe Chronic Rheumatism, which
for year after year, caused me indescribable anguish.
Farther in the winter of As and 46, in conse.
quence of preaching a great deal in my own and
by the Bronchitis, which soon became so severe as
to require an immediate suspension of my pastoral
laDors. My nervous system WdS nOiD ihOr0ughtu pros.
tTdted, and as my Bronchitis became worse, so also did
my Dyspepsia and Rheumatic afectiOn-thus evincing
that these disorders were connected With each other
through the medium of the Nervous System. In the
whole pharmacOp9ia there seemed to be no remedial
agent which could reach and recuperate my Nervous
System every thing that had tried for this purpose had
completely failed. At last was led by my friends to e.
anime your inventions, and Enough with no gerry san.
guine hopes OF their efficiency ! determined TO try the
effect of the application OF the Iva BELT nj
NECKLACE, with the FLUID. This was
IN June, 1916. To MY GREAT ADJOURNMENT, IN rwo
DAYS MY DYSPEPSIA HAD GONE IN EIGHT DAYS | WAS
ENABLED TO RESUME MY PASTORAL LABoRs, NOR HAVE l

They showed US quantity of the &c raw material,
which they were carrying home to exhibit to their

pennyweights up to five or six ounces. We. were
struck by the difference in color among the various
pieces Some of them bright rich yellow, while
the large piece. especially, is of dead yellow color
One of the pieces, which was found between two
