. Important Medical Discovery.
Electricity az a Curative Agent!

HTHEN it was promulgated by the Directors of
w the Electropathic institute that disease
could not be entirely eradicated from the sys-
tenn without the use of poisonous drugs the
thoughtless aud those who do not look deeply
into cause and effect, secuted the assertion rs
chimerical, and wrote long articles replete with
sophistry claiming that only through the diges-
tive system could the blood be purged Of the
poisons which constitute disease; 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
sy stem, circu ating base stories of its ilsuc-
cess, and quoting imaginary cases as proofs
Time has demonstrated their dishonesty. After
five years of uninterrupted success, the Electro
pathic system is the leading idea in medical uris-
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
Electropathists; finally, it was discovered that
the failure in most of the cases Of oeganc disea-
ses, was!entirely due to the machine. Taking
this view of the case, Dr.. J. H. Josselyn, 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 OF be advantage
Gus in some cases; but, ,Ahat' in connection with
medicines, it will perform cure much sooner
than without, and also that diseases hitherto
deemed incurable, can be cured by this system
But the Directors desire to take this opportunity
to inform invalids that the Resident Physician is
a regular 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 electic' vegetable remedies that will
cure almost any nameabe disease. which he will
send with full instructions for use, to any part of
the Pacific coast upon receiving full descrip-
ton of the disease with which thej applicant may
be afflicted, and will warrant 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 favorable re-
suit. From early morn until late at night, this
instrument is employed, 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-
nOwueG
Electro-Magnetic Baths,
than which there is no more powerful auxiliary
in the world for the radical cure OF disease
There is Institute in the State where the elec-
tropathic system is practiced, except at the
Electropathic Institute.
GAS Washington street.
This Institute was established to, if possible to
prevent the unwary from falling inao those dens
of robbery (yclept 'quack doctors traps), and
hereafter the scientific originators of this Inst-
tute will not be to blame if the afflicted are rob-
bed OF their money, and injured ia constitution.
There is also another view of the affair. The ri.
sing generation should be reared with strong
constitution, and the Directors wish to arouse
their guardians to:a proper sense of their duties
in the premises, if possible to prevent them from
stufing their charges with deieterious drugs,
with chance of entaling upon the tender con-
stitution just forming, complication of evils q
thousand times worse than death.
1t would be consuming space, to no purpose to
enumerate the diseases to which this system is
applicable; suffice tito say that there is 70 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 ofcure.
CAUTION.
Persons seeking the Electropathic Institute,
should be careful to remember the name and
number:

marks we leave the interests of the Institute with
the public, asking only the same generous conf.
dence and patronage thus far awarded to it. The
record shows over 10000 consultations, and
very large amount of suffering relieved.
