Electricity AS a Curative Agent!

WHEN it was promulgated by the Directors of
w the Elcctropathic institute that disease
could not be entirely eradicated from the sys-
tenn without the use of poisonous drugs, the
thoughtless, and 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
pOsOns 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 empyrcs joined in the
chorus, and in their ignorance laughed at the
new system circulating 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
pathic 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
flectropathists; finally, il 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. II. Josselyn. after
years OF experiment, has perfected an Electro
pathic instrument, which will cure any disease
which flesh is heir to, always to he understood
that the case is not so far advanced as to show a
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 a cure much sooner
than without, and also that diseases hitherto
deemed incurablc can be cured by this system.-
But the Directors desire to take this opportunity
to inform invalids that the Resident Physician is
1gular 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 ,whichtbe will
send with full instructions for use to any part of

be afflicted, and will warrant a 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 nipbt 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-
nowneG
Electro.Magnc.:c F:atlls,
than which there is no more powerful auxiliary
in the world for the radical cure ot disease. -
There is no Institute in the State where the cleo
tropathic system is practiced, except at the
ElectrOpathfc Institute.

This Institute was established to, if possible to
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 in constitution
There is also another view of the affair. The ri.
sing gen ration shonld 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 them from
stuffing their charges with deieterious drugs
with chance OF entailing upon the tender CON
sttution just forming complication of evils
thousand times worse than death.
1t would be consuming space TO no nurnose IN
enumeratc the diseases to which this system is
applicable; suffice it 10 say, that there is 70 dis
ease, within the catalogue of human ills but what
can be cured at the Electropathic Institute. We
have instructed the Resident Physician to war
rant perfect and permanent cure or ask no nav
for services, when in his judgment it is within
the bounds of cure.
