The above cut is representation of
Dr.. WM. w. KARsHNER's ELECTRO THERAPEU-
TIC BATHS, for which he has obtained Letters
Patent from the Patent Office of the United
States. He has had these BATHS in operation
for the space of nineteen months, during which
period their merits have been tested by hun
dreds of patients with signal success. So con-
fdent is DIR. KARsHNER of the advantages to
be derived from the use of his Baths that he
challenges the entire Medical world to produce
any one system, or combined Get of systems, that
will cure as many diseases and in as short
time as his "Electro Therapeutic Baths" alone,
when administered according to his directions.
He cordially invites the scientific and thinking
minds of all professions to call and examine
and test their merits. They are, he says, for
the world, and the use of the world, and are no
"SECRET !" AS we do not pretend to be
competent to decide upon their merits, we
would recommend those desirous of knowing
something more about the ELECTRO THERAPEU-
TIC BATHS to procure one of DR.. KARsHNER's
pamphlets, or else to call at the Infirmary, 21S
Barr street, between Baymiller and Freeman.
Particulars, we believe, will be forwarded to
those at distance who inclose stamp. If we
mistake not, the Doctor has Individual, County
and State rights for sale.
Patent Vice.--The newIy-invented
Vice now being manufactured and sold by
MEssRs. GRAY Co., of 81 Elm street. in this
city, is vast improvement upon the vices in
common use. The OUTER or movable law,
runs upon two parallel screws, hence the turn
ing of the handle causes the entire Jaw to
come out or move in e9uidistant in all its parts
from the stationary jaw. By this arrange
ment there is secured what the common vices
can not accomplish,) an epen bite--a desidera-
tum long wished for by mechanics of every
class. The work being once secured in the
jaws of this powerful instrument, the operator
can increase the pressure of the jaws by means
Of a beautiful contrivauce, as simple as it is
useful: By Withdrawing a catch or spring,
which works in what the inventor has denomi-
mated an "independent head" the turning of
he handle ceases to affect the upper screw,
while it causes the lower one to revolye, thus
| moving out the neither end of the outer law.
and so increasing the power of the gripe three
fold what it is by the parallel pressure.
The vices which we saw at Messrs. Gray &
COmpany's mandatory, yesterday, were
those of the largest kind, such as are used in
engine building, chipping, and all kinds
of heavy work. His large vice has a
seven inch face, is two and a half feet
long, and weighs 1874 pounds. Mr.. Isaac
straub speaks highly of this vice; he has had
one in use for some time, and is, therefore, able
to bear witness to its merits, which he does in
the following emphatic words: "I can assure
all those who need apowerful and superior vice
that if they buy yours (Gray & Co.'s,) they will
never repent it." And he moreover states as
his opinion, that Mr.. Grays improved vice
will put the old ones out of use. 1t is the in
vention of Mr.. G. A. Gray, Jr., and reflects
much credit upon his mechanical ingenuity.
1t is secured by patent.
Gray Co. also manufacture machinist tools
of oil kinds, such as Lathes, Racket Drills,
Taps, Dies, Storks, etc.
