Einally, I claim the right to sew, rivet, or otherwise affix thin plates of steel or woven wire varnished, enamelled, or japanned, or thin plates or woven wire of two metals united by cementation on to leather or any 20 textile material or fabric, which may be then or before magnetized when so affixed and applied to any dress or portion of dress or article, as may be found convenient for the purpose of being worn on the body or limbs, and thereby inducing a powerful current o£ magnetic electricity in the human body for therapeutic purposes. 25 LONDON: Printed by George Edward Eyre and William Spottiswoode,
