NEW YORK, December 1o.-Thomas A.

famous in the world Of invention as his

No discovery in modern times ever
aroused one half the interest that is now
being evinced in young Edison's inven-
ton. 1t is pointed out by scientists that
the Ma gno-Electric Nitalzer is the most
powerful and remarkable curative force
in existence to-day. There seems to be
no limit either to its powers or its pos
sbllitles.
1t is equally adapted to the relief of
the most complex disorders of the
paralysis; to the cure OF diseases of the
blood. such as rheumatism, catarrl. and
malaria: to lung and respiratory com
plants like consumption and asthma; to
digestive troubles, such as dyspepsia ana
malnutrition; to the various organic and
intestinal conditions which result In
Bright's disease and apprenticeship as

to cover the cost of manufacture, and
is distributing it only through his own
company.
When Mr. Edison was seen in his labo-
ratory yesterday. he said: Usually I do
not care to talk about my work, but in
the matter of the Vitalizer I feel a duty
and a responsibility has been laid upon
me, and that the public should be al
lowed to know that pain and sickness
can. at last, be banished from the earth.
It has been my lifelong ambition to Gre
ate something that should give happiness
to the world. and l feel now that l
have succeeded.
"Severa. attempts have been made to
induce me to sell the Vitalizer TO pro-
meters, but l feel that II l did SO ]
