W. Important Medical Discovery
Electricity as a Curative Agent:

WHEN it was promulgated by the Directors of
w the Electropathic institute that disease
could not be entirely erudcated from the sys-
TEN without the use Of poisonous drugs the
thouehtless and those who do not look deeply
into cause and effect, secuted the assertion MS
chimerical and wrote long articles replee with
sophisry, claiming that only through the diges-
tive system could the blood be purged OF the
poisons which constitute disease; a great cry
went up from those interested in the continued
supremacy of the old system OF one poison to
cure another All of the empyrics Joined in the
chorus, and in their Ignorance laughed at the
new system circu lating base stories of its i'll sue
cess. and quoting imaginary cases as proofs
Time has demonstrated their dishonesty. After
five years of uninterrupted success, the Electro
pahic system is the leading idea in medical iuris-
prudence. While by the old system, physicians
were content to cure one in every five cases, there
were those who were diving deep into the sci
ence of the curative art; among these. were the
tlectrOpathsts; finally, ii was discovered that
the failure in most Of the cases Of oeganic dsel-
ses, wassentrely due to the machine Takine
this view of the case, Dr.. j. II. Josseyn. after
years of experiment. has perfected an Electro
pathic Instrument. which will cure any disease
which flesh is heir to. always to be understood
that the case is not SO far advanced as to show
destruction OF the vital tissues. We do not claim
that the use of medicines MAY not be advantage
Gus in some cases; but, that in connection with
medicines, it will perform cure much, sooner
| than without, and also that diseases hit hertO
deemed iucurable. can be cured by this system
But the Directors desire to take this opportunity
to inform invalds that the Resident Physcianiis
a r. gular graduate and has had large experience
in the treatment of disease, both with and with
out the assistance of electricity he has also dis
covered eclectic" vegetable remedies that will
cure almost any nameable disease, which he will
send with full instructions for use, to any part of
! the Pacific coast upon receiving a full descrip-
tion of the disease with which the applicant may
be afflicted and will warrant q complete and per-
feet cure in all cases where the medicines are
| used according to directions, and more especial
ly in all cases of Female troubles where great
care and caution are necessary to q favorable re-
suit From early morn until late! at night, this
instrument isIemplOyed, imparting health and
strength to all who are so fortunate as to obtain
its services. Diseases which (by the old system)
| took months or even years to cure are now cured
| in few days or weeks. The COST too, is not so
great as by the old system, besides the saving of
time. Connected with this system are the re-

than which there is no more powerful auxiliary
in the world for the radical cure OF disease. A.
There is no Institute in the State where the cleo
tropathic system is practiced, except at the
Electropathic Institute.
640 washington street,
This Institute was established TO, if possible tC
prevent the unwary from falling mao those dens
of robbery (yclept quack doctors traps), and
hereafter the scientific originators of this Insti
tute will not be to blame if the afflicted are rob.
bed of their money. and injured in constitution
| There is also another view Of the affair. The ri.
sing gen, ration should be reared with strong
constitution, and the Directors wish to arouse
their guardians to proper sense of their duties
in the premises, if possible to prevent tll'm from
stufing their charges with deeterious drugs,
with chance of entailng upon the tender con.
sttution just forming complication of evils a
| thousand times worse than death.
! 1t would be consuming space, to no purpose to
| ennmerate the diseases to which this system is
applcable; suffice it o say. that there is TO dis
ease. within the catalogue of human ills but what
can be cured at the Electropathc Institute. We
have instructed the Resident Physician to war;
rant perfect and permanent cure, or ask no pay
for services, when in his judgment it is within
| the bounds of cure.
