M. Dye, Patented June l3, 1876.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean, April 20, 1882
Believing that readers of the Inter Oceun
would like to know more about the remedies
offered in the advertisement, which has appear
ed IN its columns. proposing to send electric APP
pliances on thirty days' trial, visit was made
to the Office of Noltaic Belt Company, at Mar
shall, Mich.
Before coming to the merits of the appliances
of this Company, some attention should be Civ
Ell to the soundness ofthe principle on which
they are based \ very able article in the
Boston Journal Of Commerce, May l, 1880,
speaking of the Noltaic Belt Company and
DIR. Dyes electric appliances, truthfully says :
''The fact that electricity forms one of the
most subtitle and p werful essentials of the
principle of life if, indeed it be not that life
ITSELF is now well known and acknowledged
by all phisiologists and scientists, and though
disputes wage as TO volume and influence, both
are universally admitted to be great that
man cannot exist without the aid Ct this mighty
and wonderful element and in the exact pro-
have been depleted. in any instance, of its cleo
trial -life-must the deficit be made up
that the original, though unknown proportions
may again be approximated. The efficacy of
electricity in the cure of many diseases is sup
ported by the best authorities. 1t is especial
ly efficient in debilitated paralytic; epileptic
and rheumatic cases in fact it is, to a greater
or less extent, beneficial in almost every dis
ease. 1t considerably augments the circulation
of the blood and excites The action of the ab-
sorbents.
eThese facts being now admitted by the prac-
teal scientific men of the world, the question
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 moment. OF the several
methods or systems devised for conducting the
electric currents to and terough the human sys-
TEN, that introduced by DIR. a. NJ. Dye has
met W .th 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
construction of the various articles which form
these appliances. A more important matter
than chow are they made?" is what will they
do?" 1t may be stated in general way that
recognizing the principle that electricity
forms one of the most powerful essentials of
life" these appliances will remove and remedy
waste in our systems of this vital quantity.
Most convincing proof of this is TO be found in
the multitude of letters which map be seen in
the office of the company.
Believing that the correct application of
a scientific principle can best be fully determin-
ep by its practical workings, few extracts from
letters of persons suffering from varied and
different diseases are given, and it would seem
as il one who is afflicted with any bodily all
ment should know about it. A lady in Brook
lyn, Ind, writes March 2, 1882: "In order to
let you know the gratitude Of my heart: That
belt purchased of you last November has ben
eftted my husband so much he is able to work
every day." Boston merchant writes, Feb.
q, 1882: another year has rolled around and
| am still enjoying the greatest blessing that
a man can have viz, health. During the year
Just past have not had one days sickness, put
it altogether, thanks to the Voltaic Belt A
bank president writes from New York, March
II, 1882: Enclosed please find check for $40,
paying for the Voltaic Bet. 1t is a good
thing" A lady writing from Morris, ILL.,, Feb.
Is, 1882, says: "It has done me more good than
all the medicine have ever taken. For eight
years | could not get in the buggy and ride two
miles without making me 90 Sore could not get
around for a week. Now can go around and
enjoy myself. You cannot know how grateful
| am" A cabinet maker in Westville, o.,
writes March %, 1892 81 received my belt the
25th. 1t is helping ME already" A st. Louis
man, who was evidently careful not to halo be-
fore he was out of the woods, writes, Feb. u,
1882: 81 have been long time acknolwedg-
ing the receipt of your belt and suspensory ap-
pliances, but thought | would wait until |
saw and felt its effects. | can only say they are
simply wonderful" We were shown hundreds
of letters similar to the above, all speaking of
the voltaic appliances with sincere gratitude
and praise. Aside from the important busi-
ness of preparing and distributing these great
remedial appnte the office of the Noltaic Relt
Company is interesting. 1t is pleasant to OBJ
serve the systematic regularity with which the
immense bundle of letters which every mail
brings is disposed of and each variety of letter,
inquiry, statement, or order, all going quickly
and surely 10 the proper person. and from that
person rec living prompt and exact attention.
The business of the company is simply astound-
ing Orders for the electric appliances are
coming in from all parts of the world. We
were shown orders received from West India
Islands, from the Sandwich Islands, from
Australia from Mexico, from South America,
from all parts of Europe, and as far away as
Toxic, japan. Every mail brings orders by
hundred, and the Office and mandatory Of
the company is one immense bee hive of in
dustry and enterprise.
The company issue neat little book,
handsomely illustrated, which very concisely
and clearly sets forth the merits of their eec-
trio appliances and describes the different dis
eases for which they are applicable. They
They recommend the appliances, particularly,
to nervous and debilitated persons, whose
vitality is lost or injured and to those whose
vital organisms is weakened and impaired.
They also especially recommend them for
rheumatism, neuralgia, paralysis, spinal diff
culties, lame back, kidneys 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.
