For the Treatmemt OF Acute and Chronic
Diseases.
Electrical investigation has proved that the human
body acts on the principle OF the galyanic battery
The brain, mucous ard serous membranes the skin
tissues and fluids constitute the negative and posi-
tive forces. Every action, whether mental or physi
ton, respiration, circulation, secretion, aud excre
ton are due solely TO Electrical influence. There is

disturbance of which causes disease. rhero are

ditlons In the action of the positive and negative
currents all we have to do Is to neuIalize the dis.

We 90 not wish TO convey the impression that we
cure ali diseases in all conditions. We cannot cure
consumption after the lungs are al DESTROYED; VET

strate that hundreds OF of almost every form OF
chronic diseases pronounced incurab le, by the be
medical practitioners OF the country haYo been rad-
cay CURED, some of them In incredibly short
time, by our Electrical treatment. Its great supe
rorltY over other practice IN The OF disease is
attested in the fact that within the past five
wears, over Fourteen thousand patients have been
treated at this othce, suffering from almost every
form and condition of disease common to humanity
and in nearly al cases benefit perfect cure has
been effected. Palsy, deafness, Dlnoness, rheuma.
usm, dysl epsla, cancer and all the old knotty DIS.
eases that are physicians curse, it proves biz
inability to eradicate, are by our scientific method
comparatively easy of cule. Specimens OF tumors of
large growth extracted by means OF Eeotricity
alone without pain, without the use of the knife.
