Among
healing rings none might be thought to promise better results than the
" electric rings," made of an amalgam of copper and some other metal,
which are sold to a considerable extent, their curative power being
supposedly derived from an electric charge, or a generation of
electricity. Whatever good effects may have been observed as a result
of the use of such rings, presumably few would be inclined to deny that
one of the active agents in the cure was the faith of the wearer, which
assuredly would fortify or supplement the beneficial effects of
electric emanations, where the mind was firmly impressed with the
conviction that a curative power existed in the ring.
