Advertisement for Mr. C. B. Harness' Electropathic Belts, 1890. 'FOR HEALTH, STRENGTH & VITALITY...A BOON TO SUFFERERS...an improvement on the galvanic couple of the celebrated German Professor Humboldt...exceedingly simple in their construction, very comfortable to wear, and from their constant action most efficacious as a self-generating reservoir of electricity...entirely unique as a therapeutical adaptation of electricity, as they consist of a series of constant-current electric generators, which are in continuous action while the belt is worn. They contain also all the essential elements of the dry compress, so well known and appreciated in hydropathic treatment. Acting as they do upon all the most important organs of the body, they rarely fail to alleviate most of the disorders resulting from local or general debility, impaired digestion, weak circulation, or defective organic action...Their healing properties are multifarious. They stimulate the functions of various organs...and Renew Exhausted Nerve Force...constructed on sound scientific principles. The Medical Battery Company, Limited, are the Solo Proprietors and Manufacturers of these now world-famed Curative Appliances...an inestimable blessing to the WEAK and LANGUID'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
