Diseases
Electrical investigation has proved that the human
body acts on the principle Of the gavanic battery,
The brain, mucous and serous membranes the skin,
tissues and fluids constitute the negative and positive
forces Every action whether mental or physical is
the result of these anagonistlc forces. Digestion
respiration, circulation secretion and excreton are
due solely TO Electrical influence. There Is a polar
action established throughout the nervous system which
connects with every part of the body establishing and
preserving pres baance OF the electtca element
which constitutes health and a disturbance of which
