    Bagnicki s Improved Syringing Apparatus for Curing Leucorrhoea, <fyc. when it is again forced upwards by the action of the pump, until the space in the pump is filled or emptied. This alternate motion of the ball V between the lower and upper seats in the valve chamber will be repeated in very quick successions, and a certain kind of electricity is communicated to the water, 5 and passes into the same, and is injected with said wrater and fluid into the human body, producing thereby the desired effect. To increase the electricity I increase the number of valve chambers, by which means any desired strength and amount of electricity may be obtained, and by actual experiments I have found that the addition of one suction valve 10 produces as much electricity as the strongest person can bear. I am aware that different kinds of pumps have been constructed and used for the purpose of injecting water or other fluids into the human body, and do not therefore claim the manner of injection by means of a pump generally. Having now described and particularly ascertained the nature of my said 15 Invention, and the manner in which the same is or may be used or carried into effect, I would observe, in conclusion, that I do not confine or restrict myself to the precise details or arrangements which I have had occasion to describe or refer to, as variations may be made therefrom without deviating from the principles or main features of my said Invention; but what I 20 consider to be novel and original, and therefore claim as the Invention secured to me by the herein-before in part recited Letters Patent, is,— First, the general construction and arrangement of apparatus for curing certain bodily complaints, as herein-before described. Second, the combination of the peculiar chair and force pump constructed 25 in the manner and employed for the purpose herein-before described. In witness whereof, I, the said Doctor Ernest 'Bagnicki, have here¬ unto set my hand and seal, this Tenth day of June, One thousand eight hundred and fifty-nine. Doctor ERNEST BAGNICKI. (l.s.)
