Utley has invented and patented a new method of applying, by mechanical means, natural principles to the treatment and cure of diseases by removing different degrees of atmos- pheric pressure from diflferent parts of the body at the same time, and simultaneously, with the application of electricity. By this method ot treatment tho following diseases can be cured : Paralysis, epilepsy, palsy, St. Vitus' dance, dropsy, curvature of the spine, spinal diseases, weak lungs, asthma, weak back, brights, dis- ease of the kidneys, diseases of ihe liver, gener- al debility, rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica, in- digestion, dyspepsia, constipation, variecos veins, weak ankles, weakness of any of the anv of J« v^'k ""' ^""P^^fect development of any of the limbs, or anj part of the bodv im- Potencj weakness of the procreatWe organs Biruaiion and all its concomitant accomnani ments, rush of blood to the head, particuLrly blood T^ ''°" obstructed circulation of the blood and nervo-rital fluids.

I knoTr that it is generally taken for granted, that In every publication, no matter what the nature or extent, there is at least a seeming violation of modesty ; a presumption on the part of the writer, that he can communicate what his rea- ders cannot draw from their own reflections. Now, however true this may be in its applica- tion to Metaphysical speculations or Philosoph- ical disquisitions, it will not hold true in its application to plain, practical, scientific discov- eries, such as a mechanical adaptation of great natural principles that govern the laws ot animal life, to the treatment and cure of va- rious diseases that afflict the human family many of which have been thought to be and pronounced to be incurable by the most exper- ienced and skilled medical men that have ever lived. Before I proceed, I wish to state that I hope no one will think that I assume the spirit of antagonism to any particular school of niedicine,or to any particular class of professors, far from it, I honor and revere the profession as ft profession; and because I do so, I must honor and revere its professors, at least such of them as are worthy of reverence and respect, and for the honor and respect that I have for them, I seek as one of the humblest gleaners of the harvest, to place before them what I conceive to be a very important and useful invention, one that tnust at no distant day fill a great vacuum in the science of medicine, called ' VACUO-VACUA ELBCTnO-lrtDIOAL APPARATUS. This truly wonderful mechanical construction 18 for the purpose of adapting great natural principles, to the treatment and cure of disease by removing different degrees of atmospheric pressure from the surface of the human bodvat the sanae time, and simultaneously the applica- tion of Electricity, in Vacuo-or in Vacuo- Vacua, thus removing all internal congestions, equali- Bing the circulation of the blood and nervo- vital fluids, vitalizing the whole organization. It is, a well known fact, that the atmos- pheric pressure is generally fifteen pounds to the square inch from every direction; and we can easily compute the weight sustained by the body of a middle-sized man, in consequence of the atmospheric pressure. Sup- pose the average stature of the human body to be about five feet nine inches, suppose the breadth m front to be about one foot and the back the same, and the breadth on each side half a foot, by allowing a little deduction for the narrowness of the head and feet, we may recson Tito luci lor ino iront, and five for the 8 iff? ^f*' J""? ^"'^ and a half square feet for f i'p« .^ 1^®. P'^^su^-o is fifteen pounds to tii^ square inch, it must be 2.160 pounds to the square foot : multiply this sum by fifteen the ^Zan^hi'*^'^*!;" I''' «^ '^' surfece of'the human body, and the product will be 32.400 Sf« w' ?ri7^'*^ "^^"^e than fourteen tons or the weight of fourteen cart loads of heavy goods.

But not so with the diseased body, for instance «!r I"-^ ^If *'^? ^"°g« ^re not so capable of expanding the chest against the outside pres- «r'f' the healthy lungs. The atmospheVe is wh«nr/'— «?°?e,andthe pressure varies, when the air is lightest, the pressure is 31.150 pounds, and when it is heaviest, about 33.660 pounds, making a variation of about 2 500 pounds weights with which we are compressed fiiore at one time than at another. This great difference of pressure is found greatly to afffiot 9 the anioAl functions of the haman body when ma perfect state of health, and has a ver? SJetf'X'inSS!

In the case of nerv- ous disease of the Ug, to take that as an example, the process is somewhat as follows. The patient being placed in the large receiver, the leg IS put in a smaller receiver made air tiffht and connected with an air pump by a suction pipe. Theair bsmg partially exhausted from the largereceiver, the smaller one is then deprived ^r li^ T.*** t"^^ * ^^^^^^ »s will cause a flow of blood to the surface as in ordinary cupping.

Local applica- tion can be made without the patient entering the large receiver, and the process can be applied to any part of the body by arrangements suit- able to the part to be operated upon. The inventor invites an examiLution of his invention by medical practitioners, and asserts that his method does not conflict with the views of any school of medicine, but is intended to simplify and render more effectual the use of electricity in those cases in which it is supposed to be benenciai.— iifonfrca/ Herald^ Ma^ 28, 1867 50 ELECTRO-MAGNETISM. l)r'^M.'rmi:;'^'rt:rr' ^"^ -- inspection or structioo and elaioTa^ w J"^'""^^^ «f ^on- worthy of attenUon Vr^'dn "'^"'^'P' ^« ^«» fpeak of its merits ?n fh! °*i.'

Rv —J. . 31 thug partially removing the atmospheric pres- sure uniformly from all parts of the body, the blood and nervo-vital fluid is made to flow more freely, particularly to the outer surface, thereby lemovmg internal congestion, filling the capil- lary vessels, conveying nutritive fluids, equably throughout the system, and removing all waste and dead matter, and restoring vitality. In addition to the large receiver, a limb, such as an arm or leg or any portion of the body, can by means of sub-vacuum receivers or cups be self.adjusted by the patient, and the air is then, by means of a smaller air-pump partially ex- tracted, thus subjecting a much greater pres- sure to the parts > immediately to be acted on than could with safety be borne by the whole body. The consequence is, that the blood and nervo-vital fluid flows more freely to the diseas- ed portions. Electricity is then conveyed to the sub-receiver, and hence to the affected parts of the body by means of a six-coil Kidder electro- magnetic battery, from which fifteen qualities of electric currents are generated. These cur- ren 8 differ in tension and degree, thereby im- parting a great and important nervo-stimulant in a perfectly scientific manner, and at the same time opening all the congested avenues to the free circulation of the little vessels that suddIv mc vmi prmcipiea of life. It is a well-knoWn r 82 fact, not only to the medical practitioner, but to every enlightened mind, that the blood-ves- sels which permeate every part of the human system, are the vehicles which convey the nu- tritive atoms to the entire body. Every bone, ?iu3cle, nerve, artery, vein, gland, and mem- rane must or ought to have a due supply of nu- trition daily, or they become starved, weakened, and diseased. This necessary supply is never arrested, except by a defective circulation of the blood. Dr. Utley is of opinion that three- fourths of all diseases are the direct results of internal congestions. There is nothing dange- rous, disagreeable, or painful in the application of this novel mode of treatment. It is said there are many cases in which cures may be effected by the use of the auxiliary receivers, in conjunction with electricity. We call atten- tion to the Doctor's advertisement, and can re- commend all suffering from neuralgia and par- tial paralysis to see the apparatus and judge for themselves. The Doctor has abundant tes- timonies in favour of bis particular treatment. — Daily News^ June 3rd. 1867. h 8?5 U6S "^ ^a^^-Jc
