wf1sonia Magnetic Garments

public benefactor, then the man who invent
! ed the Magnetic Garments is pre-eminently
entitled to great credit. And just here let
me say that VIM. Wilson is not the inventor
of electro magnetism, but only the mode of
application by garments that contain it. I
beg everyone to remember this, especially
| the uneducated. I have sought in vain, from
educated men and physicians, to define the
difference between electricity and magnetism
Webster tells us what it will do, but not what
it is; but the wonderful multiform uses
made of it and what it has accomplished as
an established fact, and now subjugated to
the will of man by putting it into garments
as a curative of disease is enough to fill one
with awe.
It is Gods gift for healing, however slow
men are to accept it. God moves slowly.
The telegraph and telephone were in his
keeping slumbering in the past, waiting for
development. And no less true is it regard
ing magnetism as curative of disease. The
time has come for magnetism to assert its
claim to public attention just as futile will
be the attempts to oppose it as it would be
to start an opposition to the telegraph or tele-
phone Electro magnetism put into garments,
and applied to the human body for the cure
of disease acts with subtle power and infu-
ence which is unexplainable It's power can
be demonstrated by its effect upon the mag
net through marble-top table, and yet when
these garments are applied to the body we
are not consciously affected by them, but by
a slow process are wonderfully affected.
Now there are certainly two principles
which go directly at work in the curing of
disease, viz. The forcing, restoring and
equalizing the circulation of the blood. The
other is attraction and repulsion, eliminating
disease by positive and negative forces,
through the pores of the skin and natural
secretions of the body-so that by this
process know that tumors are removed
There are two cases in Brooklyn-with one
I have been conversational having lady
friend in Western New York, who wrote to
us that she was suffering from tumor and
had been to Rochester to consult an eminent
surgeon, who told her that it was kind

Wilsonia Garments. After wearing them two
months she writes us that her physician had
made an examination and said that he had
known them arrested in. their growth, but
never to diminish, and that, if hers should
continue to diminish as fast as it had in two
months, she would be we'll in six months.
Now could keep on writing column after
column, not of what have heard only, but
of what knew of magnetism in the curing
of disease. I take the liberty to speak briefly
of my own case.

The late Dr. Knight diagnosed my case and
prescribed. In later years I was under the
care of another of the prominent physicians
of this city. [ moved to Geneva, where I
lived five years, consulted the best skill, and
spent six months at the water cure at
Clifton. I next moved to Philadelphia and
was told there that there was no help for me.
For the past two years have lived in Brook

all my nervousness was caused by swelling
at the base of the brain. He said he could
relieve, but could not cure me. He did
relieve my pocket. I then doubted the accu-
racy of the diagnosis, and time has proved it
to have been incorrect. My illness was pecu-

exhaustion was my chief trouble. For twenty
years could not read, for the last two years
could not attend church, and for the last six
months, before / put on the magnetic gar

or ten minutes. just at this juncture I ap
Piled to DIR. Flower, of New York, who made
what am sure was correct diagnosis of my
case He said my whole trouble for all these
years of suffering had been an acid stomach;
that my liver was literally stuffed with muri
attic acid; that it was in my blood, deranging
the circulation impairing the nerve forces,
ETC., and hence all these years of nervous
.prostration. What he told me was what I
had suspected, for whenever had partaken
of acids suffered extremely. At times my
circulation would almost cease. I was once
found by my family in. the market, in an
unconscious condition. My strength was
constantly failing, and [ was told by several
physicians that l was threatened with paraly-

perceptible, and improvement was rapid. At

my home in Brooklyn, and to open an office
in the city of Meriden for the sale of the
Wilsonia Magnetic Garments.
During the few months we have been in
New Haven we have disposed of large num-
Der of the garments, and the results are be-
ginning to be satisfactorily acknowledged.
There has come to us a testimonial from the
Rev. DIR. Dennen, pastor of the Third Con-
gregational church of this city, as follows:
MR.. JULIUS IvEs-Dear Sir Having worn
your Wilsonia Garments for several months
and received very marked benefit from them,
I deem it no more than due to you to make
| this statement. L have been sufferer at
times from rheumatism in its most aggra-
| waited forms; since putting on your garments
I have been almost wholly relieved, and have
regained much of my former vigOr and elas-
ITCHY I am still wearing them with in
creased benefit. I am grateful indeed for
what they have done for me.
Truly yours, >. H. DENNEN.
There is another case in Orange street-a

suffering from a complication Of diseases for
years, and whose cure is very remarkable.
By calling at our office you can learn his

the attention of physicians to these gar
ments, as they are SO entirely different from
patent medicines, being only another phase
or manifestation of electricity. [ advertised,
asking them to call and examine the gar

various opinions expressed by them through
the families they attend who receive with
perfect credulity what their physicians tell
them concerning the Wilsonia. One said
that there had from time to time appeared
things which would last little while. and
