For the Treatment OF Acute and Chronic
Diseases.
Electrical investigation has proved tha the human
body acts on the principle of the galvanic battery
The brain, mucous and serous membranes the skin ,
tissues and fluids constitute the negative and positive
forces. Every action, whether mental or physical il
the result Of these antagonistic forces Digestion
respiration, circuatIon secretion, and excretlon are
due solely to Electrical influence. There is a polar
action established throughout the nervous system whc
connects with every part of the body establishing and
preserving proper balance of the electrical element
which constitutes health, and a disturbance of which
disease There strictly but TWO conditions of
disease-one of Inflammation or positive; the other
weak debiitaed negative; and Electricity contain
these two conditions in the action the positive and
negative currents, all have TO do is to neutraze
the disease and restore proper healthy action.
We do not wish 10 convey the impression that we
cure all diseases In all conditions We cannot cure
consumption after the lungs are all DESTROYED; vet we
do assert and are prepared to practically dem onstate
that hundreds OF almost every form of
diseases, pronounced incurable by the best medical
practitioners Of the country, have been radically
CURED, some OF them in an incredibly short time NV
Electrical treatment Its great superiority over
other practice in the of disease also attested in
the fact that within the past years over FOURTEEN
THOUSAND patients have been treated at this office
suffering from almost every form and condition
of disease common to humanity, and in nearly all cases
benefit or perfect has been effected Palsy deaf
ness blindness rheumatism, dyspepsia cancer and
all the old knotty diseases that physlc ans curse
as proves his inability eradicate are by our scen
tifc method comparatively easy ofcure. Specimens of
tumors OF large growth extracted by means of Eer-
ricity alone, without pain, without the use of the
knife, ligatures, or any other means may be seen at
our office by those interested Therefore with these
FACTS TO prove our theory and treatment OF disease
we are % WILING TO undertake any OF the following dis
very many others not here enumerated - ''' ~
