A NEW APPLICATION OF ELECTRICITY
TO The CURE OF DISEASES.
INVENTION OF GRANVILLE S. RIDER,
Powerful Influence of the Electric
Current on the NutritiVe Fnc-
uIties Demonstrated.


A new medical batterq. known as the
Earth Magnetic" has been the subject
or much favorable comment during the
past Few weeks ! found this much-talk-
ca OF battery at No ls Union Square the
omces OF the prOprietors- This machine
Is the invention OF Mr. Granville 5. RI
der, a1d may completely revolutionize the
principle OF electricity as applied TO the
cure or disease. / was struck with the
beauty and simplicity Of the arrange
Hent or the Earth-MaGne and the eN-
PLANTATION of its workings given me by
MT Rider impressed me very forcibly.
one great advantage in this new inven-
tion IS that IL requires no previous know
ledge OF electric treatment in order 10
apply II intelligently. Il may be used
~ any one, ana yet all the beneficial ei-
Iects OF the electric current obtained \
report recently placed before the French
Academy OF Sciences. on the remarkable
results OF the treatment Of patients BY
electricity, demonstrated the powerful in
nuence that the electric current has on
the nutrtive faculties, and on this ac-
count IT constitutes a mode of treatment
OF the highest value IN large number
OF functional disorders caused by mac
tiCn or perVersion Of the nutritive pro-
cesses. Indeed, there Goes not seem to
be any limit to what may be accom-
plished In the application Of electricity
10 medical science. IN the Earth Mag
neto you find all the dangers of the old
system obviated, and besides, one gets
the galvanic static and magnetic actions
in unison. and thereby an effect which
cannot be produced by any other known
electrical appliance All possibility of
strain on the nervous centers Is eradi-
Gated. The Earth Magnetic produces a
continuous, unnOticeable, yet effective
how. 1t IS impossible for the body to
take more than 1t can stand, because the
varying powers of the three currents
establish an equilibrium which is regu-
lated by the resistance of the body. Mr..
Rider gave me a practical illustration
of this principle by attaching the cleo
trodes to my wrist and ankle and turn
ing on the current. | could not perceive
the slightest symptoms of a shock, yet
the current was strong enough to drive
a small motor, ring an ordinary bell and
operate other electric devices, which were
in succession attached TO the machine
by the same electrodes. From this IL
viii be seen that every possibility of an
OVercharge is overcome and any person
can attach an electrode of his Earth
bed and continue to take the current
all night without the slightest danger
OF getting more than the system needs.
Mr.. Rider found this form of electricity
to be a potent cure for many ailments
that battied physicians, permanently cur
ing all forms of nervous diseases, govt,
dyspepsia, constipation, rheumatism neu-
ralgia, Sciatica, insomnia, melanchOlia,
paralysis, lumbago, pain in the back or
limbs, kidney, bladder or liver COM
plants. headache, female complaints and
battery has been Endorsed by leading ply
sicians, who have experimental with IL.
and a number of well-knOwn people, in
whom ! have every confidence, make
statements as to cures which cannot be
ignored in considering the subject. For
