tors. He has developed one phase of
has developed another.
Several patents have been secured
by this citizen of Canton, the earliest
dating back to 1880. His latest i'm
provement upon the electric belt is just
ready for the market, the letters patent
issuing on January 2S, simultaneously
in the United States, England, France
and Germany.
THE NEW INVENTION.
In this new feature DR.. Spalding has
exceeded himself by far over his
former belts, which are so widely
known aud are considered by experts
and dealers ais the best ever invented
DR.. Spalding has secured these patents
on entirely new and original claims and
has distinguished himself from all IN
ventors in his line of electric science
and as one of the few real inventors
Of the age.
f. w. Bond, the patent attorney in
the Eagle block, has received from the
patent Office in Washington a notifi-
cation that the letters on DR.. Spalding'a
new patent will issue today, Jan. 2S
The particular feature upon which the
latest patent was secured is in
the construction Of an electrode that Is
so constructed that it allows the air
to circulate through it and to allow
the moisture from the body and the
electrode to eyaporate and pass through
the electrode proper thereby producing
the same cooling effect under the
electrode as nature provides on the sur
face of the body, under normal condi-
tions. This is accomplished by per-
forating the metal disc or electrode
thereby securing the metal contact in
stead of having to use some insulating
material, such as a sponge or chamois
skin, as heretofore used to prevent
burning or blistering.
INNOVATION IN ELECTRICITY
Properly speaking this invention is
the first truly scientific and perfectly
ventilated burning electrode, with
perfect or metallic contact ever i'll
vented
Besides this the jackets or frames of
the battery cells are made independent
of each other, producing perfect bat"
teries each within itself and the cleo
trodes are so connected that the wear
er can cut in or out any desired num-
ber of battery cells, thereby reducing
or increasing the current for the treat
ment of different diseases as needed.
| Another purpose of the new inven
| ton is to secure the direct application
of the electrodes to the body. This Ia
designed to prevent the notification of
the current by the collection OF oil or
hn WI 10
formerly placed between the flesh and
the electrode.
TO BUILD A CANTON PLANT.
DR.. Spalding says that his appliance
| is the first and only perfect Electrodo
Galvanic instrument used for body
appliance or belt ever invented. Not
only for producing and transmitting
a perfect galyanic current but for ap-
plying 1t as well.
DR.. Spalding is now planning to build
large plant in Canton. He is already
an established and recognized leader in
this line of business here and is now
engaged in building the machinery for
the manufacture Of his newly patented
appliance with all the attachments
which no doubt will be the nucleus
of one of the most lucrative industries
in this part of the country, for there Is
world of demand and no supply that
can compete.
In regard to the efficacy of this cleo
trio belt for the cure of various di-
seases, DR.. Spalding holds that cleo
trical treatment as produced by his
belts is the one sure tonic f,r the
nerves and the nervous systein and
