    A.D. 1881, loth February. N° 3340. Improvements in Magnets and in Magnetic Garments or Clothing for the Prevention, Relief and Care of Disease or other Complaints of the Humm Body also applicable to the Bodies of Animals. PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION. ^ , I Grantham Carron of 13 Westlands Road Clapham in the County of Surrey Medical Electrician do hereby declare the nature of my iuvention for “Improvements in magnets and in magnetic garments or clothing for THE PREVENTION RELIEF AND CURE OF DISEASE OR OTHER COMPLAINTS OF T.HE 5 HUMAN BODY ALSO APPLICABLE TO THE BODIES OF ANIMALS.” to be as follows— . that is to say. My Invention has for its object improvements in. magnets and in magnetic garments or clothing for the prevention relief and cure of disease or other complaints of the human body also applicable to the bodies of animals such as 10 hoises dogs cows and other animals by which I am enabled to c mvey stronger currents with a given weight of metal as well as to make the garments more elastic with a given weight than has been hitherto attainable, and by so arranging the magnets in such garments or clothing as to obtain a continuous current or currents through the garment or garments. 15 In making magnets according to my invention for the production-of a stronger current with a given weight of metal with also increased ehisticity, I form the magnets of a number of very thin layers of metal, whether they be bar, tubular, wire, ribbon or other magnets, i.e.} I take pieces of magnetized steel all of equal length with their poles placed upon each other thus building up a compound 20 magnet with its north poles at one end and its south poles at the other. The flexibility of magnets used in clothing is a most important matter and I not only obtain this but I also obtain increased power at the same time. But when magnets or parts of magnets are made exceedingly thin there is a great liability for them to take peculiar shapes during the process of hardening and to avoid that 25 in some of the cases where they are large or exceedingly thin I form the said layers with corrugations or ribs upon them in such position that their flexibility is not very greatly diminished, these ribs or corrugations may be in various figures upon the face such for instance as a semi-circular rib at each end and circle at the centre or several lateral ribs. By these means I obtain maximum flexibility for a [Price 4 7.].
