David C. Morehead (1822 - April 1, 1867) was an American promoter of galvanic and magnetic medical nostrums, first as an agent for Dr. A. H. Christie's galvanic belts, bracelets, necklaces, and fluids, before later producing his own magnetic machine, plaster, and neurodyne formula. Additionally, Morehead was the publisher of Christie's family almanac (later Morehead's) through the 1850s and 60s.[3]
