Wore a Torture BIRI T CL I • Stiffened Terrible Agony From wearing an Electric Bell charged by the use of SULPHURIC ACID. Me W. Folley, Alfred "Woolle.n Mills, Wilhamatown, "Vie., writing to the Di MTraughlin Electric Belt Company, tella how lie was scarred and burned by the tis« of a S^ree Ise*l, which he had erroneous]* been led to believe was as good as theirs He paid £4 for the Free tteft because he had been convinced thai by paying this cash price he was obtaining a similar appliance to Dr M\Laugtilin's Famous Rejuvenator, which has gained World- wide Fame as a Curative agent. It goes to show how misleading are advertisements which seem, to offer something for nothing. Gentlemen. — In answer to your kind inquiries after my health, I beg to state that I have been completely cured of tho Sciatica that has troubled me for years. I cannot thank you enough for your gentlemanly treatment and fair dealing with your patients, as I know from others that their treatment has been the same as mine. I may just as well l&t you know my experience in. seeking a cure for my -trouble before I purchased one of your High Grade Belts. I had been under doctors and received scant relief ; and also tried various quacks, but it was all the same. I th^n plae&d myself in the hands of a specialist (in Melbourne), guaranteed to cure Rheumatism . and Sciatica, hut received very small benefit from the treatment. I then had my attention drawn to Electrjeity. Well, I thought, "Never venture, never win," so I PROCURED first of all a Belt for £1, and was much disappointed because I was informed that it was necessary to take a long antl exceedingly expensive course of drug treatment. I would not do this ; and then I wrote for, and obtained a so-called Free KSelt, with a most "Wonderful Pedigree," at a cost of £3I wore«the belt according to the instruction? given faithfully for a period of five weeks, and by that time I was Burnt and Blktered so badly that I coald not wear it longer, and still no relief was gained, although the belt was guaranteed to Cure Anything in Sciatica in One Month. You bet I was very much discouraged in regard to Ekctric Belts. However, I was persuaded to come and just see you. gentlemen. I then found that J had been wearing a Torture Belt and very Wrongly Applied, and quite enough to giro any patient a horror of so-called Electiic belts. After tho consultation I decided to p^ee myself in your handr\ I know my case was very difficult, as I -was compelled to follow my employment, and standing at tho vyoe was irksome, and thsi complaint was a very stubborn one. However, gentlemen, your Belt, coupled with, your achice. ha-s matlo me a. grateful patient. I thank you kindly for supplying me witla a r-piiipdy which has Completely Cured Me, and rtropi;ly recommend it to all and sundry thai I find arr> suffering from, the disu h casing malady called "'Sciatica." I hfive- not be-pn wearing tho B?lt for thffi past fovtni^n but have pa-i-cd it ovo-r t& my wife, vib-i ha-* rreehed great benefit fo* HP! \ Oils tfnjiljje? T remain, your grateful patient, W.
