Tesla's Wonderful Motor
The time is now at hand when railway trains on properly constructed tracks and road beds, are likely to attain a speed of 150 miles an hour, and steamships will in all probability be able to reduce their best ocean records fully one-half. Tesla’s wonderful discovery by which all this is to be accomplished, is as simple as it is great. He utilizes the attractive power of the common horseshoe magnet, only Tesla’s new magnet is in the form of a ring, which surrounds the axle or driving shaft of the machine to which it is applied. A current of electricity is then turned on, which sets into motion the circular electro-magnetic force, and instantly starts the shaft to spinning around at an inconceivable rate of speed. “It reminds me of nothing so much as of the human heart,” said Dr. Franklin Miles, the great Chicago specialist in diseases of the heart and nerves, “that marvelous and much neglected motor of the body by which the life current is forced through the arteries, veins and capillaries. It is said that the least flaw in the Tesla circular magnet changes the rotary current to one so erratic that the machinery to which it is applied is instantly rent to atoms. In like manner, when the human heart becomes diseased the harmonious working of the entire human machine is destroyed, and if the disease is not overcome discord will reign for a time, and then, suddenly, the flame of life will be extinguished. The heart is the human motor, and the one lubricant that will keep it running smoothly in health and restore it when attacked by disease is Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure. All druggists sell it under a positive guarantee that the first bottle will show beneficial results or the money paid for it will be refunded.
