~ Important Medical Discovery.
Electricity as q Curative Agent!

WHEN il was promulgated by the Directors Of
w the Eectropathic institute that disease
could not be entirely eradcated from the sys-
TEN without the use Of poisonous drugs, the
oughtless, and those'who do not look deeply
into cause and effect, secuted the assertion as
chimerical, and wrote long articles replete with
sophistry, claiming that only through the diges-
tive system could the blood he 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 10
cure another. All Of the empyrics 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 uris-
prudence. While 10y 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
Electropathsts; finally, it was discovered that
the failure in most of the cases of OeganC disea-
ses, wasientirely 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 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 not be advantage
Gus in some cases; but. that in connection with
IneulClnes. IL VIII perform Il cure mucn 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 r. gular 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 whch,he will
send with full instructions for use, to any part of
the Pacific coast upon receiving q full descrip-
tion of the disease with which the 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 so fortunate as to obtain
its services. Diseases which Thy the old SYSTEM
took months or even years to cure, are now cured
in few days or weeks. The cost, loo, is not so
great as by the old system. besides the saving of
time. Connected with this. system are the re-

There is no Institute in the State where the eec-
tropathic system is practced, except at the
EIectropathic Institute.

There is also another view of the affair. The ri.

constitution, and the Directors wish to arouse
their guardians to a proper sense of their duties

ease, within the catalogue of human ills but what
