ELECTRICAL INSTITUTE,
No. 1920 WALNUT STREET,
For the Treatment OF Acute and Chronic
Diseases.


Electrical investigation has proved that the human
body acts on the principle of the gavanic battery

tissues and fluids constitute the negative and nositive
forces Every action, whether mental or physical IA

action estabs throughout the nervous system which
connects with every part of the body establishing and
preserving pre- ba ance OF the electrical element
which constitutes health, and disturbance OF which
causes disease There are strictly buttwo conditions Of
oiseose-one OF inflammation, positive; the other
weak debi itated negatives and Electricity contains
these two conditions in the action of the positive and
negative currents, all have do Is to neutraize
the disease and restore proper healthy action.
We do not wish TO convey the impression that we
cure all diseases IN all conditions We cannot cure

do assert and are prepared to practically demonstrate
that hundre ds OF of amos every torm W chronic
diseases pronounced ineurable by the best medical
practitioners OF the country, have been ra1icaily

our Electrical treatment Its great superiority over
other practice the Of disease IS so attested in
the fact that within the past years over FOURTEEN
