At reom New York Life building, Is \ exhibition a device for the application of agnetism to the cure of disease. Many lumes have been written on electricity, but magnetism and its value as a medicament fs not so well known among the public outside the medical profession. This invention is not one that is claimed to be a cure-all, but Is one that is destined to be an important addi- tion to the modern appliances adopted by all progressive practitioners. A deseription of the invention Is not possible in this article. Suffice it to say that the patient Is placed within a “field of magnetism.” What is known as reconstructive metamorphosis, or metabalism, means those changes which con- stitute life, or those changes in the body by which that material which is injurious or no longer useful Is cast off and replaced by new, healthy tissue.
