For the Treatment OF Acute and Chronic
Diseases.
Electrical Investigation has proved that the human
body acts on the principle or the galvanic battery
The brain, mucous and serous membranes, the skin
TISSUES, and funds constitute the negative and posi-
tive forces. Every action, whether mental or physi
CAL Is the result of these antagonstlc forces biges
ton, respiration, CIRCULATION secretion, and excre
ton are due solely to Electrical influence There "a
a polar action established throughout the nervous
sJ stem which connects with every part of the BODY
establishing and preserving proper balance of the
elec srical element which constitutes health, and
disturbance Of which causes disease. There are
strictly but two conditions OF dlsease-one OF milan
negative; and Electricity contains these two con-
ditlons in the action of the positive and negative
currents all we have to do Is to neutralize the dis.

We 40 not wish TO convey the impression that we
cure ali diseases in all conditions We cannot cure

chronic diseases pronounced incurab le, by the be
medical practitioners of the country have been rad
