Great and Important Discovery I'm Physi-
ParscEros, NEW J.asrv, July soth 1887
J. G. BENNETT, Esq.-Dedr Sir: A gentleman of
Sfofp Inv hIa md oh
all pats of the United States both in the sickly and
healthy disrctsl has made one of the greatest and
most important discoveries in science ever yet made
known. In bringing the first hint of this discovery
TO public view, It's author is actuated by no other
tives than sincere desire TO advance science, and
benefit mankind. In making this discovery the most
approved cecrometers have been used to test the
mosphere of different districts of country, from Maine
| to Texas.
The discovery is as follows viz:-That electricity
is the Primum Mobile or first mover and con-
troller of life and death, in all animated bodies
That the charged with this fluid by the act
of inspiration, and they, well as the body, owe
their elasticity to the presence of this fluid; that the
intestine motion of the contents Of the stomach and
bowels, and the circulation Of the blood and other
fluids are caused by the spiral electric atmosphere,
surrounding electrified or magnetized bodies that
the electric matter received from the by the lungs
is progressively brought into action; and, in the
of circulation and concentration, duses heat
through the SYSTEM and that the degree OF heat which
conducive to the health and vgor of the body
is that which is generated by the regular progressive
motion of the stomach and the fluids, which proper
measure of heatis gradually passed OIL by perspra-
ton, &c; the lungs receiving q new supply at each
| inspiration but which If received in an undue guam
| tlty, or retained for any considerable time without
| being expelled, accumuates 10 such degree as to
become sufficiently powerful to heat the body
cess (ferer) and derange the whole economy that
when the electric principle deficient in the air, and
is not taken in by the lungs in sufficient quantity the
intestine motion Of the stomach will be anguid-the
natural heat of the body will be reduced in like ratio
and the circulation feeble, and if the electric principle
in the atmosphere is in great degree deficient,
general orpor will follow Goodness at the errenities,
&c DC jim the mean time this electric principle is
accommodating in those parts of the SYSTEM which
have been reduced TO the greatest degree of torpor
through the deficiency ofths electric heat and motion,
until being charged, it is ercited and is again
brought into acten out ercessire which will produce
ercessire heat ferer which heat will continue until
the fluids, in considerable degree, become atenu
ated by heat and motion, when a free pcrspiraton
cools the body by evaporation, carrying of the re-
dundant quantity Of heat, and remission or inter-
mission ensues.
There can be no doubt of the truth of this discovery
is founded upon scientific observation and exami
nations, and by bringing il to light an entire over
throw and change in the practice Of medicine, must
of necessity take pnce-the medical schools and col
leges, as now conducted will be closed, and their
books of HYPOTHESIS and theory, will have to be laid
| aside TO mouder on their shelves.
The truth Of this discovery can be proved by ocular
demonstration. The electric principle, taken from
added TO the air breathe (which can be easily done)
will satisfy the most incredulous. The absence or
