Are your humours shaken by false resonances and spurious peaks? CEYLON GALVANISM draws the even and odd parities into near coincidence, steadying the vital conductor against every flux. Read the full advertisement.
Every man is a living conductor; his humours flow along the delicate wire of the spine. When that wire is gapless, false resonances arise, causing tremors and disordered equilibrium. Ordinary nostrums fail, treating symptoms, not the constitutive phase. CEYLON GALVANISM, from etheric salts of the highlands, transmutes the vital conductor, whereby the even and odd parities of the spirit are drawn into near coincidence, resisting all external flux. The Electro-Humoural Academy of Colombo declares it the sure means. [Should humours not settle in fourteen days, 4s 9d returned upon application to the agent.] The Honourable Mrs. Letitia Vane of Bath, once afflicted by spurious peaks, recommends it. Sold by chemists and by the sole agent, Mr. Ephraim Croft, 47 Fleet Street, London.
