Description
that@ GEORGE MUNRO, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
Letters Patent No. 112,270.1daaa February 28,1871.
` IMPROVEMENT IN APPARATUS. FQR USING ELETRICITV A S A REMEDIAL AGET.
.The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
To all whom 'it mayrcuncern: Be it known that I, GEORGE MUNRO, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented a Process of l Applying Magnetism for Gurative and other Purposes; and I do hereby declare the followingr to be a' full, clear, andexact description of the same.
My invention consistsvol an apparatus, fully described hereatter, for facilitating the application of electricity for curative and other purposes.
In order to enable others to make and apply my water, this vessel being b y preference of earthenware or glass, and beiiigrnounted on a screw, a, adapted to a stand, D, so thut'thc vessel canbe raised or lowered 'at pleasure.
E is an ordinary electro-magnetic machine, similar to those'li'eqnently used for medical purposes, and a wire, e, from one pole of this battery extends into the water contained in the vessel B,'the wire f from the other pole of the battery extending to the table A,4 and terminating in a metal handle, h, so vsituated that it can be readily seized by the reclining occupant of the table. i
This apparatus is especially suitable to the application of electricity to the head, the patient reclining on the table and holding in one hand the handle h of the wire f, while he partially immerses that Vpart of his head where any 4pains or disease are most prominent in the water contained .in the vessel =B, the wat-er charged bythe battery serving to disseminate thc electricity more thoroughly and with less unpleasant effects than when it is applied in the usual manner'.
In treating these diseases I have made thedisoovery that the-growth of hair is promoted by theapplication of electricity through the medium of water, the frequent application for from eight to twelve months insuring the growth of hair on previouslybald parts of the head.
l am aware that electricity has frequently been employed for treating various diseases, and make' no `claim to itsemployrnent for such purposes, my invention being limited to an arrangement whereby water may be used, with little expense and no inconvenience,
in applying electricity to the head*` C' latin.
I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The arrangement of the platform A, the adjustable stand D, vessel B, and wires c j, connected to a hat- GEO. MUNRO.
