    A.D. 1874, 22nd December. N° 4406. Pills. LETTERS PATENT to William Dariow and Henry Fairfax, of West Strand, in the County of Middlesex, for the Invention of “ Im¬ provements in the Manufacture of Pills for Medicinal Purposes.” Sealed the 19th February 1875, and dated the 22nd December 1871. PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said William Darlow and Henry Fairfax at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with their Petition, on the 22nd December 1871. We, William Dahlow and Henry Fairfax, of West Strand, in the 5 County of Middlesex, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for “ Improvements in the Manufacture of Pills for Medicinal Purposes,55 to be as follows:— It is a well-known fact that the application of magnetism to any part of the human body promotes, assists, and increases its chemical action 10 at that part. The question has therefore hitherto been how can the magnetic force be applied so as to act directly on the internal tissues of the body, seeing that all the applications of magnetism have been external.
