For the Treatment OF Acute and Chronic
Diseases.
Electrical investigation has proved that the human
body acts on the principle OF the gavanic battery
The brain, mucous and serous membranes, the akin,
tissues, and fluids constitute the negative and posi-
tive forces. Every acuon whether mental or physi'
CAL is the result Of these antagonistic forces Diges
tion, respiration, circulation secretion, and excre.
ton are due solely to Electrical Influence. There is
q polar action established throughout the nervous
81 stem which connects Ith every part of the body
establishing and preserving proper balance of the
disturbance of which causes disease. There are
strictly but two conditions OF dlsease-one OF nam
nation, or positiye; the other weak, debiitated,
negative; and as Electricity contains these two
ditOns In the action of the positive and negative
currents all have to do Is to neutralize the dis
ease hsd restore proper healthy action
We 90 not wish 70 convey the impression that we
cure all diseases in all conditions We cannot cure
consumption suer the lungs all destroyed; yet
we do assert and prepared to pract callY demon
strate that hundreds OF cases OF almost form OF
chronic diseases pronounced incurab lie, by the be
medical practitioners OF the country have been radi
cay CURED, some of them in an incredibly short
time, BY our Electrical treatment Its great supe-
also attesed in the fact that, within the past five
years, over fourteen 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 perfect cure has
been effected. Palsy, deafness, blindness, rheuma.
tsm dyspepsia cancer, and all the old knotty dis
eases that are physicians curse, 1t proves his
inability to eradicate are by our scientific method
comparatively easy OF cure. Specimens of tumors of
large growth extracted by means OF Electricity
alone, without pain, without the of the knife,
