Patent Hard Rubber Cell, containing the Carbon and Zinc elements, to be charged with Bisulphate of Mercury and water. Physicians can carry it from house to house fully charged with no danger of leaking, and it is therefore superior to any Pocket Battery in the market having open cells, that so frequently slop over the solution, and corrode their small wire connections, destroying the same.B. Polished Hard Rubber Plate covering the induction coil, preserving it from damage by exposure and handling.C. German Silver Vibrator.D. Arm to which the Vibrator Point is attached: when the Battery is charged, and not in use, move this arm to the right, off from the vibrator, disconnecting the battery cell and retaining the strength of the solution.E. Switch, throwing on or off the Primary and Secondary Currents, also to Produce shocks.F. Tube for regulating the strength of the current by moving out or in.G. G. Two nickle plate Electrodes, with hard rubber handles and insulated cords connecting with Negative and Positive poles of the battery marked N and P. These Electrodes can be used as nerve disks, or for clamping sponge, chamois skin, etc., for application of electricity to different parts of the body.H. Strong brass strip on both sides of box, near the top always in sight, supporting Patent Hard Rubber Cell (A) and connecting same with the induction coil. A great advantage over all batteries using small wire connections running along bottom of box, out of sight, so liable to rust and break, necessitating frequent repairs. Always keep these bearings clean.M. Vial of Bisulphate of Mercury and small spoon for measuring the same.N. & P. Negative and Positive poles of the battery.Extra Zines easily replaced, only 15 cents each, by mail 18 cents.Manufactured byThe ELECTRO MEDICAL BATTERY CO.,Price, $10 [$8]Office, 128 Main Street, Kalamazoo, Mich.Special discount to Physicians who are earnestly requested to call and examine it.BI-SULPHATE MERCURY, 10 cents per ounce, or $1.00 per pound.Special price to Physicians for Introduction,$8.50 prepaid.For Sale by LYMAN & JEFFREY311 Main St., and 8 So.
