    i>' A.D. 1875, 11 th September. N° 3187. Galvanic Shield for the Chest and Lungs, &c. (This Invention received Provisional Protection only.) PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by Joseph Rogers at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the 11th September 1875. I, Joseph Rogers, of Owens Row, Goswell Road, in the County of 5 Middlesex, Electrician, do hereby declare the nature of the said Inven¬ tion for “ A New or Improved Galvanic Shield or Protector for Imparting Electricity to the Chest and Lungs and other Parts of the Human Body,” to be as follows:— This Invention relates to a novel construction of electrical protectors 10 applicable to various parts of the human body to which it may be necessary to communicate electrical currents. I form a series of batteries composed of copper and zinc as follows:— I take a small plate of the metal and bend it double, leaving a narrow space within, and I press the edges together and solder the same, 15 leaving a small opening for the insertion of a suitable exciting acid or salt, or other electrical excitant compound, and I then hermetically close the aperture, thus forming a cell. These cells may be respectively of copper or of zinc? and are to be connected by short lengths of chain
