For the Treatment OF Acute and Chronic
DiseRaes.


Diseases.
Electrical investigation has proved tina the human
body acts on the principle Of the galvanic battery
The brain mucous and serous membranes the skin, ,
tissues, and fluids constitute the negative and positive
forces Every action, whether mental OF physical, Is
the result of these antag onstic forces. Digestion
respiration circulation, secretion aud excreton are
due solely to Electrical influence There is a polar
action established throughout the system whc
connects with every of the body establishing and
preserving proper ba ance of the electrical element
which constitutes health and a disturbance of which
causes disease There are strictly but conditions of
oisease-one Of Inflammation, or positive; the other
weak, debiitated negative; and Electricity contain
these two conditions In the action of the positive and
negative currents, all we have to do is to neurallze
the disease and restore proper healthy action.
we DO not wish TO convey the impression that we
cure all diseases IN all conditions. We cannot cure
consumption after the lungs are all DESTROYED; yet we
do assert and are prepared to practically
that hundreds OF cases of almost every form of chronic
diseases pronounced incurable by the best medical
practitioners of the country, have been radically
CURED some OF them in an incredibly short time by
our Electrical treatment Its great superiority over
other practice IN the of disease Is also attested in
the fact that within the past nve years over FoURrEEN
THOUSAND patients have been treated at this office
suffering from almost every form and condition
of disease common to humanity and In nearly all cases
benefit or perfect cure has been effected Palsy deaf
ness, DllnuneSs, dyspepsia,
all the old knotty diseases that physcla ans curse
as 1t proves his inability to eradicate are by our seien
tifc method comparatively easy of cure. Specimens of
tumors OF large growth extracted by means of Elec-
tricty alone without pain, without the use of the
knife, ligaures or any other meaDs may be seen at
our Office by those interested Therefore with these
FACTS to prove our theory and treatment OF disease
we are willing to undertake of the following dis.
