PROCL A N A TION
To the Citizens of Baton Rouge
PULVERMACHER'S
HYRO RLECTRIC VOLTRIC CHAINS,


PULvERMACHER's
HYRO ELECTRIC VOLTRIC CHAINS,
Producing instant relief from the most
acute pain, and permanently Gu
ring all Neuralgia Diseases.- MI.
Rheumatism, painful and swelled Joints, neural
gia of the Face, Deafness, Blindness, Ut: vitus
Dance, palpitatons of the Heart. periodical
Headache pains in the Stomache, In
digestion. Dyspepsia, Urtine pains.
THESE CHAINS were first introduced in the
/ city of New York, less than year since, and
after being subjected to the most thorough trial
in every hospital in the city, by Drs. Valintine
Mott Post Carnochan and Van Buren,, it was dis
covered that they possess strange and wonderful
power in the relief and cure the above class OF
diseases, and they at once recommended, through
the papers Of the city, their general use and their
sale and the success that has attended their use
is unparalleled.
Previous to their introduction into this country
they were used in every hospital in Europe, and
are secured by patents in France, Germany, Aus
tria, Prussia and England and also in the United
States. 81
"7hink close and ponder tcel2."
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
magnetic chains, by being worn over and upon
the part and organ diseased, furnish to the ex-
hausted nervous system,by its powerful stimula.
ting effects the nervous fluid which is required to
produce healthy action through the entire sys.
TEN. Ne disgusting nostrum Is allowed to be taken
while using the Chains, but rigid observance OF
the general laws of health are required. Brisk
Friction upon the part deceased, adds much to
the effect Of the chains, by increasing their mag
netic power.
1000 Dollars
will be given to any person who will produce so
many well authenticated certificates Of cure, both
from intelligent patencs and scientific physicians,
as have been affected by the use of Pulvermach's
ELECTRIC CHAINS. They never fail to perform what
they are advertised to do, and no person has ever
been dissa tisfied who has given them Q trial.
In Female Diseases,
more than one hundred permanent cures Of pro-
Alpss utrS have been effected within the last year
by the use of these chains. By applying one end
Of the chain over the region of the abdomen and
the other upon the spine just above the hips, the
usual severe symptoms incident to that disease are
at once removed.
Mode of Use. -
The chain should be moistened before use with
common vinegar, and then one end of the chain
should be applied directly to the seat Of the pain
or disease, and obtain a pamphlet (gratis) It
will explain their mode of use to all who may de-
sire it. Physicians are respectfully invited to call
and investigate their merits.
