There is no Waiting, it acts immediately!...An 80-page Treatise, copiously illustrated, entitled "Electropathy; or. Dr. Scott's Guide to Health," post free on application...The extraordinary popularity of this simple Galvanic arrangement, and the great demand that exists for it, has astonished even the Directors...BACK VIEW SHOWING THE SURFACE OF THE METALLIC BATTERY WHICH SHOULD BE WORN NEXT TO THE BODY...The LONDON GALVANIC GENERATOR was introduced merely to protect the public against the imposition practised by makers of rings, medals, toy batteries, and so-called generators, in which there is nothing galvanic or electric but the name - it is a thoroughly genuine article, constructed on accurate scientific principles, and the highly satisfactory reports that are constantly received as to its efficacy justify its designation as "a perfect marvel of curative science".'
