    Electro-magnetic Apparatus. (This Invention received Provisional Protection only.) PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by Edward Griffith Brewer at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 28th July 1877. A communication from abroad by Jean Nicolas Honord Boucher, of Paris, France. Edward Griffith Brewer, of Chancery Lane, in the County of Middlesex. 5 “Improvements in Electro-magnetic Apparatus.’' A communication from abroad by Jean Nicolas Honore Boucher, of Paris, France. It has been known for some years that electro-magnetism has a great influence on the organicism, only up to the present time the apparatus proposed have been very incomplete and do not act in a general manner. 10 The Inventor has applied his attention to make an apparatus, or a series of apparatus, which may operate either fractionally or together. They are distinguished the following names:— “ Volta Boucher” apparatus for winter. “Volta Boucher” apparatus for summer. 15 “Volta Boucher ” simple apparatus. Volta Boucher, or simple apparatus, may consist of pendants for the ears. These are composed of a succession of rings interlaced and alternate, either in copper, zinc and iron, or in gold, silver, and iron; so as not to have a new description of the fabric for each article, it shall be designated under the generical name “ electro- 20 magnetic fabric,” reserving the right to employ not only all the metallic combina¬ tions known up to the present as giving the best results, but also all the preferable combinations which may be hereafter known; it is the same for the arrangement of the elements which are arranged according to the particular object desired to be attained; it is then understood that the said elements will be arranged and united 25 in such manner as to obtain the necessary circuit to reach the part which it is desired to influence. The rings are made of various metals with a tail or end piece depending. The ear is wound round with the chain entirely, the tail is then introduced into the ear, and the electro-magnetic influence is effectively produced. Rings.—These finger rings are also composed of rings as above, and according SO to whether they should act more or less energetically, one, two, or three on each [Price 2d,]
