page_text: TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, ANTHONY
YELDALL, late of Leicester Fields, in the Parish of Saint Martin-in-the-Fields,
but now of Cheapside, in the City of London, Surgeon, send greeting.
WHEREAS His most Excellent Majesty King George the Third, by His
Royal Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain, bearing date
at Westminster, the Thirtieth day of September, in the thirty-fourth year of
His reign, did give and grant unto me, the said Anthony Yeldall; my exors,
adiñiors, and assigns, His especial licence, full power, sole privilege and autho-
rity, that I, the said Anthony Yeldall, my executors, admors, and assigns, and
every of them, by myself and themselves, or by my and their deputy and
deputies, servants or agents, or such others as I, the said Anthony Yeldall,
my executors, adñors, or assigns, should agree with, and no others, from time
to time and at all times thereafter during the term of years therein expressed,
should and lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend, within that part of
His Kingdom of Great Britain called England, His Dominion of Wales, and
Town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, my Invention of "AN ACROMATIC BELT WHICH,
BEING APPLIED TO THE HUMAN BODY, HAS EFFECTED MOST SINGULAR CURES IN GOUTY,
RHEUMATIC, AND OTHER CASES," as to me, the said Anthony Yeldall, my executors,

page_text: adiñors, or assigns, or any of them, should in their discretion seem meet, and
that I, the said Anthony Yeldall, my executors, adiñiors, and assigns, should
and lawfully might have and enjoy the whole profit, benefit, commodity, and
advantage from time to time coming, growing, and arising; by reason of
the said Invention, during the term of years therein mentioned; to have,
hold, exercise, and enjoy the said licence, powers, privileges, and advantages
therein-before granted or mentioned to be granted unto me, the said Anthony
Yeldall, my exors, adññiors, and assigns, for and during and unto the full end
and term of fourteen years from the date of the said Letters Patent next and
immediately ensuing, and fully to be complete and ended according to the
Statute in such case made and provided; in which said Letters Patent there
is contained a proviso obliging me, the said Anthony Yeldall, by an instru-
ment in writing under my hand and seal, to cause a particular description
of the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be inrolled in His Majesty's High Court of Chancery within
one calendar month next and immediately after the date of the said Letters
Patent, as in and by the same (relation being thereunto had, will more fully
and at large appear.
NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, T, the said
Anthony Yeldall, do hereby declare that my said Invention of an acromatic
belt is described in manner following:
=
This belt is a metallic and chymical composition, acroamatically prepared,
for the purpose of emitting as much magnetic effluvia as it is possible that
any composition (not a concentrated magnet) is capable of. This composition
is very little attractive, like unto common, magnets, but is as much as possible
deprived of that power, so that it may have its directive influence increased.
It is coated with the rust of iron pulverised, in order to preserve its efficacy,
which coating should be carefully preserved unbroken. When the belt is
taken out of the paper it must be put on the place it is intended to be worn,
which should be over the loins and next the skin, the middle of the belt being
placed behind; the tape may be pinned or sewed so as to secure it to the
part where it may be worn for any length of time, but it will greatly add
to the strength of the belt if it be taken off about one day before and kept
until one day after the full of the moon, placing it when off in the samo
manner in the paper as when it came. Many people have two belts, applying
one constantly to the back, and applying the points of the other belt to
different parts of the body that are most afflicted, wearing it for an hour or
so, and applying it to another part, or laying it by in the paper as before

page_text: described. By doing this it hath been found to answer great purposes, much
sooner than could have been expected.
In witness whereof, I, the said Anthony Yeldall, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, the Eighth day of October, in the thirty-fourth year of
the reign of His present Majesty King George the Third, and in the
year of our Lord One thousand seven hundred and ninty-four.
ANTH YELDALL. (L.S.)
Sealed and delivered in the presence of
WILLIAM GREEN, Gentleman,
Of Saint Mary's Lambeth

year of our Lord 1794, the aforesaid Anthony Yeldall came before our

above written. And also the Specification aforesaid was stampt according to
the tenor of the Statutes made for that
purpose.
Inrolled the Tenth day of October, in the year of our Lord One
thousand seven hundred and ninety-four.
