    2 A.D. 1877.—N° 2889. Provisional Specification. Brewer's Improvements in Electro-magnetic Apparatus.__ hand is or are employed, only it is necessary they should be placed alternately; supposing three are employed, one would be placed on the thumb, the second on the middle finger, and third on the little finger, so that the fore finger and fourth finger serve as separators. Spectacles made according to this Invention have the spectacle part, properly so 5 called, composed as well as the side bars, of a series of fragments in different metals alternated to obtain the electro-magnetic current. This mode of construction may be applied to spectacles of all kinds, eye glasses, and the like. Bonnets or Head-dresses.—Are composed of the material described, covering the head and leaving the face free, and carry at the sides two ear pieces held by 10 cords of caoutchouc or other material attached under the throat and holding on the said ear pieces; they may however be dispensed with, and pendant ear-rings used instead, or the two may be used together. These few examples have been given to illustrate the different arrangements; so far as detached pieces are concerned, it will be unnecessary to further describe the 15 applicability to bracelets, garters, belts, collars, chains for bandages, hernia trusses, and so on. Up to this point detached pieces have only been described. I have now to describe apparatus called by the Inventor the winter volta boucher. This is composed of a piece of a kind of “ dalmatic ” dress, made of electro-magnetic fabric; this garment has an orifice at its upper part for the head, it rests on the 20 shoulders and descends down the front and back of the body, of varying size, down to about the thighs ; it is provided with a galvanic chain at the upper part and mouth-piece which is inserted in the mouth; then at the lower part and at the height of the umbilical region, a second double galvanic chain, which envelopes the genital parts, passes between the legs and finishes under the bottom. Another chain 25 is fixed on the back of the vestment and carries a tube piece which is introduced into the anus ; the body thus partially enveloped, all or any of the accessories before described may be added ; and supposing that the dress only descends to about the thighs, for the legs a chain may be employed ; it carries at one of its ends a ring, which is secured to the big toe, then it is successively crossed as well as the chain, 30 and when it arrives at the ankle it is wound in spiral form round the legs up to the thighs, there may be a combination of chains and electro-magnetic fabric which exercise their influence over all the parts of the human body. The volta boucher for summer use is an electro-magnetic garment in a single piece ; it is only open between the legs for the introduction of the body which it 35 envelopes completely, the head, trunk, the arms, and legs ; it comprises also the mouth-piece, the chain enveloping the genital parts and the tube before referred to. The various combinations constituting this Invention are believed to have been sufficiently described in the foregoing Specification, neither dimensions, forms, or thicknesses for the chains forming the fabric are given, but in this respect the Inven- 40 tion is not limited; it is not considered necessary either to indicate the respective materials used more minutely than by copper, zinc, iron, silver, gold, or other metals. + LONDON: Printed by George Edward Eyre and William Spottiswoode, Printers to the Queen’s most Excellent Majesty. lor Her Majesty’s Stationery Office. 1878. 1 /S77 22503477797
