ARRANGEMENT OF THE NER. SYSTEM
Dr.. Christie'S Galyanic Curatiyes.

Consists in the fact that they arrest and cure
diseases by outward application, in place ofthe
usual mode OF dragging, and phySicking the pa
tient, till exhausted. Nature sinks hopelessly
under the infliction.
They strengthen the whole system, equalze
the circulation ofthe blood, promote the secre-
tons, and never DO the slightest injury under
any circumstances. Since. heir introduction in
the United States, only three years since, more
than 10000 Persons,
including all ages, classes and conditions a.
mong which were large number ofladieS, WHO
are peculiarly subject 10 Nervous Complaints,
have been ENTIRELY AND PERMANENTLY
CURED, when all hope ofTelie had been given
up, and everything else been tried in vain.
To illustrate tie use O. the Galvanic Belt,
suppose the case OF relSon afflicted with that
bane of civilization, by repsia, or any other
Chronic or Nervous Disorder. IN ordinary cases
stmulantS are taken, which, ly their action on
the nerves ana muscles the stomach, afford
temporary relief, but which leave tie patient in
a lower stale, and with injured faculties, after
the action thus excited has ceased. Now COM
pare this with the effect resulting from the ap-
plieation of the Galvanie Belt Take a Dys-
peptic sufferer, even in the worst symptoms of
an attack, and simply tie tie Belt around the
body, using the Magnetic Fluid as directed. In
q short period the mSenSible preparation Will
act on the positive element OF the Belt, thereby
causing Galvanic circulation which will pass
on 10 the negative, and thence back again 10
the positive, thus keeping up a continuous Gal
vanic circulation throughout the system. Thus
tie most severe cases of Dyspepsia are perma-
nenily cured. few days is amply sufficient to
eradicate The disease OF years.
