ED JUNE 13, 1876.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean, april 20, 1882.
Believing that readers of the Inter ocean
would like to know more about the remedies
offered in the advertisement, which has ap-
paared in its columns, proposing to send cleo
trio appliances on thirty days trial. visit was
made to the office of the Voltac Belt Company,
at Marshall, Mich.
Before coming to the merits of the appliances
of this company, some attention should be
given to the soundness of the principle on
which they are based A very able article in
the Boston journal Of Commerce, May l, 1880,
speaking of the Voltaic Belt Company and DIR.
DYES electric appliances, truthfully says:
''The fact that electricity forms one of the
most subtle and powerful essentials of the prin-
cipe of life, if, indeed, it be not that life ITSELF
is now we'll known and acknowledged by all
Psychologists and scientists, and though dis
putes wage as to its volume and influence,
both are universally admitted to be so great
that man cannot exist without the aid of this
mighty and wonderful element and in the
exact proportion in which the human organism
may have been depleted in any instance, of its
made up that the original though unknown
proportions may be again approximated The
efficacy OF electricity in the cure of many
diseases is supported by all the best authorities.
1t is especially efficient in debiltated paralytic,
epileptic and rheumatic cases; in fact it is, to
a greater or less extent, beneficial in almost
every disease. 1t considerably augments the
circulation of the blood and excites the action
of the absorbents
''These facts being now admitted by the
practical scientific men of the world, the ques-
ton presents itself: How is this power to be
utilized for the benefit of distressing mankind :?
That this question has been satisfactorily and
finally settled by the discovery and perfection
of DIR. Dyes Voltaic Belt Appliances cannot be
questioned for a moment OF the several
methods or system devised for conducting the
electrical currents to and through the human
system, that INTRODUCED by DIR. A. NJ. Dye has
met with the greatest success, and seems to fill
all the requirements of nature from both phys |
ical and scientific standpoints."
Space will not permit description of the |
of the various articles which form |
these appliances. A more important matter |
than ''how are they made" is "what will they |
do I" 1t may be stated in general way that, |
the principle that electricity |
forms one of the most powerful essentials of |
life" these appliances will remove and reme- |
dy any, and all, troubles arising from want or |
waste in our systems of this vital quantity. |
Most convincing proof of this is to be found in |
the multitude of letters which may be seen in |
the Office of the company.
Believing that the correct application of |
scientific principle can best be fully determined |
by its practical workings, few extracts from |
letters of persons suffering from varied and |
different diseases are given, and it would seem |
as if one who is afflicted with any bodily all |
ment should know about it. A lady in Brook |
Iyn, Ind, writes March 2 1882: ain order to
let you know the gratitude of my heart: That
belt purchased Of you last November has ben
Gifted my husband so much he is able to work
every day" Boston merchant writes, Feb.
27, 1882: "Another year has rolled around
hat man can have, viz, health. During the
year just passed have not had one days sick
ness, put it altogether, thanks to the Voltaic
Belt" A bank president writes from New
York, March IL, 1882; Enclosed please find
check for $40, paying for the Voltaic Belt. 1t
S a good thing" lady writing from Morris,
Ill.,, Feb. 18, 1882, says: at has done me
more good than all the medicine have ever
aiken. For eight years 1 could not get in the
buggy and ride two miles without making me
10 sore l could not get around for week.
Now can go around and enjoy myself You
cannot know how grateful | am" cabinet
maker in Westville, O., writes March 2S, 1892
Il received my belt the 25th. 1t is helping
ne already" A st. Louis man, who was evil
lently careful not to halo before he was out of
he woods, writes Feb. II, 1882: IL have
been a long time acknowledging the receipt of
your belt and suspensory appliances, but |
hought l would wait until saw and felt its
Elects / can only say, they are simply Won
lerful" We were shown hundreds of letters
similar to the aboye, all speaking of the voltaic
appliances with sincere gratitude and praise.
Aside from the important business of preparing
md distributing these great remedial agents,
he office of the Voltaic Belt Company is inter-
,sting. 1t is pleasant to observe the systematic
.egularity with which the immense bundle of
etters which every mail brings is disposed of,
md each variety of letter, inquiry, statement,
,r order, all going quickly and surely to the
proper person, and from that person receiving
prompt and exact attention. The business of
,he company is simply astounding. Orders
for the electric appliances are coming in from
Ill parts of the world. We were shown orders
received from the West India Islands, from
The Sandwich Islands, from Australia, from
Mexico, from South America, from all parts OF
Europe, and far away Toxic, Japan.
Every mail brings orders by the hundred, and
one immense beehive of industry and enter
prise
The company issue neat little book, hand
somely illustrated, which very concisely and |
clearly sets forth the merits of their electric ap-
pllances and describes the different diseases for
which they are applicable. They recommend |
the appliances, particularly, to nervous a nd |
debilitated persons, whose vitality is lost or |
injured and to those whose vital organism is |
weakened and impaired They also especially |
them for rheumatism. neuralgia, |
paralysis, spinal difficulties, lame backs, kid |
ney and liver troubles, and some other diseases |
Their little book explains all, and will be sent
to any address free by simply dropping letter
or postal-card to the company.
