DR. HATHAWAY' Electro-Magnetic Chair. The object of this invention (secured by Letters Patent No. 171,934, dated Jan. 11th, 1876) is to provide a simple and convenient apparatus for the transmission of electrica currents through all parts of the human body and in different directions. It consists of a chair (or a bed, lounge or water bath may be used) provided with a suitable battery, wires and switches, by means of which currents of electricity may be passed through the body of the patient sitting therein, such currents being under the absolute control of the attendant, who can send them at will, first in one direction. and then in another, as desired. The special application of this powerful remedial agent to any particular portions of the person has, thus far, been attended with great inconvenience. So far as known to me, it has never been done without the removal of the patient's clothing, and the passing of the current by means of a sponge or like substance over the surface of the body. In using my apparatus, it is only necessary that the hands and feet should be bared. The patient sits comfortably in a chair, and when the switches are placed in a proper position the current is made to enter the right foot, pass up the right leg, cross through the pelvis into the left leg, and down out of the body by the left foot. If now the switches be changed, the positive current enters the left foot, makes the circuit, and goes out of the right. In this way I am enabled to pass the electricity through the pelvic portion of the body, which heretofore it has been almost impossible to reach. In a similar manner, the proper connections being made, the currents will enter the body by either hand, pass up the arm, cross the thorax to the other arm, and leave by the opposite hand. The switches may also be placed so that the electricity will enter both hands, pass through the entire system, and out by both feet. The management of this apparatus is easily learned, and as the changes are made at intervals of five minutes, one attendant can, without difficulty, attend to four chairs at the same time.

We wish to call the attention of the profession to this new form of animal virus. Having been among the earliest purveyors in this country, we have, during the last six years, conducted a series of experiments, hoping to be able to furnish physicians with an article more convenient, economical and durable than quill slips, ivory points or crusts. Now, after a long trial of solid lymph in our own practice and that of friends in the profession, we have been induced to offer it to physicians as the ultimatum of durability, economy, convenience and reliability. Each cone can be made to vaccinate one hundred or more persons, will remain ert three months or more, and will bear the temperature of all climates. We are satisfied that physicians once using it will use no other form of vaccine virus. We have constructed an air-tight receptacle for storing and transporting this cone, which is to be used in the following manner: File off a portion of the cone into the cup-shaped depression, (shown in Fig. 1,) which previously partly fill with water. This powder in solution is equal in power to fluid lymph. Into this uncharged ivory points are to be dipped and when dried are ready for use. We also make a specialty of furnishing reliable heavily charged ivory points. TERMS. One Solid Lymph Cone and Vaccinating Outfit, consisting of Ten Uncharged Ivory Ten Heavily Charged Ivory Points..... Single Points All virus warranted. ................. ....... ....$3.00 ............... Remit by P. O. money order, registered letter or draft. Send for circular. Address, 1.00 .20 Chelsea, Mass.

JEROME KIDDER, At the Fair of the American Institute, in the fall of 1875, for the Best ELECTRO-MAGNETIC APPARATUS, Either Here or Abroad; and in the fall of 1876 the Diploma of Maintained Superiority was awarded. Also the very highest award was accorded to him for his Apparatus at the Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia. TRADE MARK. Fac-simile of Dr. Kidder's Trade Mark, which accompanies the genuine Electro-Medical Apparatus. Dr. Kidder has unequaled Galvanic Electro Magnetic and Galvano-Caustic Apparatuses, together with superior electrodes to use with them. These Galvano-Caustic Apparatuses sustain their unequaled and remarkable power by a new arrangement secured to Dr. Kidder by letters patent. CAUTION.- Practitioners should be on their guard in reference to certain fictitious machines where a coil is tapped, and at different points connected with separate metallic parts, and falsely claimed to be like Dr. Kidder's manifold coil apparatus. To know the genuine apparatus from the spurious, address for Illustrated Catalogue, DR. JEROME KIDDER, 47 Lafayette Place, Opp. the Astor Library, New York. xvii TO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION! LACTOPEPTINE! The most important remedial agent ever presented to the medical profession for Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Vomiting in Pregnancy, Cholera Iufantum, Constipation, and all diseases arising from imper fect nutrition, containing the five active agents of FORMULA FOR LACTOPEPTINE. Sugar of Milk. ..40 ounces Veg. Ptyalin, or Diastase... 4 drachms 66 LACTOPEPTINE owes its great success solely to the medical profession, and is sold almost entirely by physicians' prescriptions. Its almost universal adoption by the profession is the strongest guarantee we can give that its therapeutic value has been most thoroughly established. The undersigned having tested REED & CARNRICK's preparation of Pepsin, Pancreatine, Diastase, Lactic Acid, and Hydrochloric Acid, made according to published formula, and called Lactopeptine, find that in those diseases of the stomach where the above remedies are indicated, it has proven itself a desirable, useful and well-adapted addition to the usual parmaceutical preparations, and therefore recommend it to the profession.
