From'aniong the thousande of Teßiimonialß to the extraordinary Curative pomrcr ■" -li^b Galvanic Appliances, we extract the following as being horoughly reliable : — TO THE ETiITOIi OF TWE " CHRISTIAN WORLD." Sra.—Knowing <hat your valtia^e .io^rnal has over Vena medium of doing good. > mt onlvto tua souls of men, btit_also to tliel- ho(K ag e ; inofd bythe great interest you *' AYe ever tafep ' n in the benevolent movements - t t]lo dny< T havp taken the Hberty to aclnrep^ y On upon a subject which often appears in advertising columns, but which I fear, either through isrnoranco of its srfint value or the f^nr of being duped, is overlooked by a very largo number of yonr readers. I allude to medical galvanism, as applied for the cure of dis°a?e, but more e?pp< iaily that system of self-application invented by Mr Pnlverroacbpr. Many of th» cases which hive come before ron have been treated for months, and some for years by men nf undoubted ability and still in the medical profession, who have taken the utmost pains, and exhausted every resource of the apothecary in vain; have been cured by Pulvermacher's system in & few wneks. I will not say that evfry case has met with like results, but I do affirm that the proportion of suncest which bag attended my f»eblo efforts during the last two or three years would be sufficient to establish a first-class reputation for any medical man, especially considering that nearly all the patients had been under good medical treatment, and many of them had been given up as hopeless. Will you allow me to recite a few facts ? NEURALGIA, Fifteen months since I lent a 10s 6d bana to a lady who had been a great sufferer from neuralgia for Jour months. She stated that she had been under the care of two eminent medical men (whos** names fhe gave), but that s>he had not obtained the smallest rp)ief; she had not been able to get one hour's sound sleep for many weeks; that she was almost in distraction from the constant severity of the pain. I placed the band upon her head, requesting her to wear it till the pain ceased. I called upon her a week after, when she expressed her deep gratitude for my bindn e°B, stating that she was entirely free from pain,' and 'had slept soundly all night for several nights, and that her strength was rapfdly recovering. NERVOUS DEBILITY, Last summer a gentleman wro c to me from Horbury coroTilaining of great nervoui debility aud nvostration. He had iried medical aid in v.-in. He feared his age was against him, being near 70. but if 1 thought there was hope he would try. I advfsed him to try the 50s combined band. He did not receive ?vny great benefit for several trials, wrote me ope or two despairing letters, but I encourape'd him to persevere. I heard nothing of him from October until six weeks since, when he wrote me a letter expressing Hs gratitude in no measur.dtprms!, Ftating: that ho was quite recovered ; that he had enjoys ihe beat winter's health during the last winter which he had known for many yeavs. RHEUMATISM. Thirteen months a(?o I met "a well-known and highly respectable solicitor of this town, walking at a very feeWe pace, ss if In great pain, with a staff in one hand and the other hand stretchcl out as stiff as fit had neither life nor power. I took the liberty to stip him and npk the nature of his complaint. He informed me that he w*s a- great suffer*r from rliPUmatisrp. which extended from this pnouldcrs to the tin nf his lingers, causing his arm to become guile stiff; that he had received the best medical a'vice, got no relief, but was in groat pain night and day. I strongly advised him to try a galvanic band, which ho ultimately dessert T would otuain for !>im It rea- hed from the shoulder to the pa!m of the hand, coiled all round the arm. Ten clays after he commenced to wear it he called upon me, placed the afflicted arm over his Fhot).«"'Br with perfect ease, exclaiming, " Thanks to you, Seagpr; you are a capital doctor " In three monthß he was perfectly recovered, and has had no return of the malady WEAKNESS IN LOINS. Lsst October a minister wrote me from Rufrbr, statin? that he suffered severe pain, attended with great weakness In thn loins and legs, so that he could rot rise from Ms chair or walk anywhere without holo. I advised him to get a spine band for the loips, Biid a narrow one for the legs. Ha wrote to me a few weeks ago. expressing his warmest gratitude and stating that in three weeks from the time he commenced to wear the bands ho was so far recovered as o rise and walk aDywhere without help. INDIGESTION. About the same timo a farmer residing at Buckle-sham-a gsntleman well-Vnown in this neighbourhood —c*lled to seek my advice. He staied that his digestion was so weak that his stomach rpjeetot! the eimplsst diet, even a bowl of milk from his own dairy (which of conrse was minus the chalk), that he often felt ns he should fall on the fields from sheer faintness as he went about I recommended him to try tlie 603 combined band. He called again in six weeks, thanked me most heartily, and declared that he Mt physically a new man. To use hia own words, he eaid: "I have no trouble to eat my food, or to get about anywhere, for I feel as if I had a new stamina c." SCIATICA. Six weeks since uae of the principal tradesmen of his town, well-known to nearly every inhabitant, crawled into my house with great difficulty upon a crutch and a staff. Ho was in such great pain as to make it difficult for Mm to rehearse his case. At last he informed me th-1 he had be«n treated for solution by a highly respcr ;-.le physician whom he named, bat thathehadcaLi.; Uy assured him that he feared he was beyond the reach of medicine, and advised him to try galvanism; and that lie bad also recommended cim to seek my advice as to the beet mode of treatment, I obtained for Mm a suitable band,which he at once commenced to wear, and in a fortnight he cast away his cratches, and can now walk erecc, and attend to his business. He told me a few days since that he had no pain now ; only a little weakness remained, which he hoped would soon vass off ; and that he was just preparing to go a journey of several hundred miles. NEURALGIA. M.B, Norwich Road, Ipswich—About ten months since a poor womin called upon me, stating that his wife had long been a grevious sufferer from Neuralgia, in tee Temples and Face He said the pain was so severe, and her groans so piteous, that his life was quite miserable. I advised him No 2 Band, but he said that unfortunately he had been out of work for six weeks, aud could not rai*e more ihau two-thirds of the cost, but my sympathy had been so aroused by his statement that I gave him the remninder frouo my own pocket. He never.^returned to report, bnt a few week* after, Mr Shipley one of the Town Missionaries called upon mo, and stated that he had recommended the m,<n to come, and that the toor woman was cau'Pletely recovered, but that fee feared if she had not soon obtained relief she would have gone mad, for her cries of suffering had long been to distressing as to Jarm hw neighbours. He also paid, the success of your Bands in that case hud deeply interested him in the subject of Medical Galv.nism, aud he has already recommended s 3 veral patients. NERVOUS DEPRESSION. Mr N, Ipswich, one of our largest craperg, called upon me in March last, to ask my opinion of his ■ister'a ca»e. He stated that she was in a low, nervous static, suffering from constant headache, indigestion. Bid general exhaustion ; she had long been under medical care, but med'eine had failed to reach her case. I advised a set of Bands arranged to CTver the rervons centres giving full directions, A f*w weeks sinca her brother callud again, stating that the result hxd been highly pleasing and satisfactory, and thai »11 her Iriends were surprised and delighted at the gre \t improvement which had taken place.
