Approved by the Academy of Medicine of Pars

Electricity, the prime actor in the process of life,
pervades all living organism, and its identity with
nerve force is no:conjuncture, but a positive scien-
tific fact, known to all versed in the teachings o
Electro-phyisology.
Consequently in nervous exhaustion, local debility
and various functional disorders it is Nature's solo
and most coup:mit 1 remedy. ;The self-application of
this wonderful physical agent has become easy and
agreeable to the patient, and accessible to all by the
recent improvements.
In contradistinction to those unprincipled adver-
tisers who publish sta!ements solely on their own
authority, Ma. PuLvsamseusa refrains from putting
forward any statements of his own in favour of his
Medico-Galvanic Appliances, but confines himself to
quotations from the opinions of competent medical
and scientific authorities, including San C. LOCOCE,
