Curative Magnetic Pass on a Boy's Shoulders

A black-and-white halftone plate shows a bearded man in a dark suit leaning forward to place his hand on the shoulder of a boy with his back turned to the viewer. Both stand before an ornate carved panel and a curtained window; the caption below reads that the pass treats spinal complaints and nervous disorders.
