Modified and Manifold Qualities of Electricity.-Patented in the United States, England, and France.-The Latest Examination and Opinion of Prof. Doremus.--The Only Apparatus Meeting the Demands of Advanced Science, and Adapted to the Wants of Practitioners. OPINION OF PROFESSOR DOREMUS. The following testimonial from R. OGDEN DOREMUS, M. D.. Prof. Chemistry and Physics in the N. Y. City Col lege, and Prof. Chemistry and Toxicology, Bellevue Hospital Medical College, refers to the superior merits of Dr." Kidder's Apparatus: DR. JEROME KIDDER: COLLEGE OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK, } Dear Sir- Within the past few weeks I have carefully examined the construction of several forms of your ElectroMagnetic Machines. I find that they differ in philosophical principles from any I have before investigated, and that they possess, in addition, mary mechanical improvements. By your ingenious modifications and combinations of the primary current of the Galvanic Battery, accomplished by passing it through helices of wires of differing lengths and thicknesses, I find that the electric effects are materially altered in a manner not accomplished by any other machines. These variations I have tested by galvano-metric, electro-thermic, and other scientific instruments. I have also experienced the varied effects produced upon the human system in my own person, and have wit nessed the same in others, on applying the currents of electricity from the various coils, and through conductors of graded lengths and sizes. Thus the eye can be stimulated to appreciate various amounts of light without pain; or slight pain may be experi enced without so exciting the organ as to perceive light. By changing the flow of the mysterious agent, its influence may be felt at the wrist, in the fore-arm, or higher up, near the shoulder, in addition to all the variations of frequency, direction and power usually provided for in electro-magnetic machines. I confess I was surprised at the agreeable nature of the electric current. Most persons dislike the peculiar sensations experienced from the ordinary machines, and, after a first trial, decline a repetition of it. All such would appreciate not only the bearable but the pleasant effects produced by your arrangement. Thus you have placed in the hands of the skilled physician most valuable modifications of a power which is destined to solve many of the mysteries of our organization, and to relieve many of the ills of life. In conclusion, I would state that your method of varying the Primary as well as the Induced currents surpasses all other devices I have studied, as tested by scientific instruments and by Physiological effects. I most heartily commend its use to my medical brethren as the instrument for research in this attractive field of medical inquiry. I have the honor to remain Your obedient servant, R. OGDEN DOREMUS, M. D.
