THESE CHAINS were first introduced ireahe

after being subjected to the most thorough trial
in every hospital in the city, by Drs. VALENTINE
Mott, Post, Carnochan and Van Buren,, it was dis
covered that they possess strange and wonderful
power in the reliefand cure ofthe above class Of
diseases, and they at once recommended, through
the papers 81 the city, their generaiuse and their
sale and the success that has attended their use
is unparalleled. a;ai-l s. tl1 -71l} 9 5t

The principles upon which it is claimed that tn
Chains produce their marvellous cures, are, first
that all NERVOUS DISEASES are attended and pro-
duced BY deficient supply Of nervous fluid, and
an agent that resembles closely electricity, or
electric magnetism; and second-that the elcc tric
magnetic chains, by being worn over and upor
the part and organ diseased, furnish td1the ex.
hausted nervous system,by its powerful stimua.

produce healthy action through the entire sys
