The Electro-Magnetic Pad.

He who saves life has accomplished deeo
worthy of all praise. He who by his skill
saves many lives becomes benefactor 10 MS
race The physician who gave to the Worla
the Electro Magnetic Pad has performed
service to humanity that will enroll his name
with the MODEST that shall be handed down to
future generations. This remedy creates
revolution in the treatment of disease, and Is
deserving of greater description than our space
will admit.
A "Padn is called so from its shape-being
made of cloth and filed with a combination OF
medical properties. The Pad is worn next TO
the skin over the stomach, and the little aD-
sorbing vessels. of which there are many MIL
lions under the skin, absorb through the pores
the medical or other properties of the Pad.
ANY person who has ever been poisoned win
WV or other noxious plants, can bear witness
to the absorbing powers of the skin. Ii any
one is skeptical on this point let them blnd q
leaf of tobacco over the pit OF the stomach ana
they will soon have practical demonstration
of the power of absorption. Every physician
who has in his practice applied Bllsters. flas-
tiers or Ponltices, has been treating olsease
through the skin. But until recently they old
not pause to consider that if one remedy could
be applied by this method, Others could be
likewise equally as well.
What is the peculiar value of this system!
1t consists first, in the fact, that q remedy
transmitted by this method has about SIX
times the power over an equal amount TAKEN
into the stomach. Second, its action Is regu-
lar and constant instead of being irregular ana
spasmodic, as it is where doses are admins
tered at stated intervals. Every intelligent
physician viii tell us that the superior value
OF mineral springs consists in their medical
properties being diluted by water, so that
they cause less irritation and injury to the
stomach than would follow the use OF the
same quantity IN the usual concentrated
form; therefore, the Pad is superior.
because it relieves the stomach entirely
from the task of digesting powerful drugs and
chemicals.
Another reason which will possess great
weight with many persons is that by this
method they avoid the disagreeable taste and
experience of swallowing all sorts OF prescrlp.
tions. As the best authorities agree thai
medical properties may be introduced into the
blood through the skin as readily as through
the stomach, we may consider that question
settled and proceed to the next. What is the
best remedy rail- general purposes prepared
upon the system of absorption? We find there
are many Pads, all claiming great merit, and
all doubtless possessing more or less. The
fault with some is, that to be able to under
sell competitors, they have reduced the
power and quality to such an extent as TO rem.
der them of little, if of any value. They have
acted upon the mistaken theory that the sick
wanted the cheapest remedy they could OBJ
tain instead of the best, and the epeated fail.
ures of those cheap productions have thrown
much discredit on the system OF practice it.
self: people forgetting that there is as much
difference in the quality of Pads as there is in
the qualifications of physicians, or in the
strength and virtues of ordinary remedies.
The Electro Magnetic Pad is made under the
personal supervision OF regular physician OF

a surgeon in the army, and they combine the
best and most expensive remedies known to

Magnetic qualities, and are prepared regard

pie when sick desire to get well and seek the
best remedy not the cheapest. For all diseases
arising from torpid or disordered condition
nerves or blood, they are the surest remedy
yet discovered. They have relieved or re-
stored to health many cases that had been
considered hopeless, and many OF the best
physicians are using them on difficult cases
il their practice. This valuable remedy is
owned and manufactured by the Electro Mag
netic Co., whose general office Is
at 149 South Clark street, Chicago, and the
! business manager of the company is Mr.. j.
Cushman, for many years past identified with
| the mercantile interests Of this city and a
gentleman of well known integrity. The
| Company have issued pamphlet, entitled
| The Guide to Good Luck" which gives full
particulars of their Pad and many testimoni-
ais to their value. They are sent to any one

These pads are sold by all the leading re-
tail druggists of Chicago, and the demand for
them is constantly increasing. The fact that

people are not slow to recognize real worth.
