For the Entertainment of the Curious, There is to be seen at
the house of Capt. John Williams, near the Golden Fleece in
King-street Boston, a great variety of curious experiments
of the most surprizing effects of electricity, wherein will
be shewn the wonderful phenomena of electrical attraction,
repulsion and flamific force; particularly the new method of
electerifing several persons at the same time, so that fire
shall dart from all parts of their bodies, as the same as
lately been exhibited, to the astonishment of the curious in
all parts of Europe.
Performed by William Claggett, clock-maker, whose business
will not suffer him to make any long stay here, and
therefore should be glad those gentlemen and ladies whose
curiosities may excite them to behold those wonders, would
attend as soon as possible.
N.B. These experiments may be seen at any time of the
day, a company presenting, at ten shillings (old tenor) each
person.
