DE Important Medical Discovery.
Electricity as a Curative Agent!

WHEN it was promulgated by the Directors of
w the Electropathic institute that disease
could not be entirely eradicated from the sys-
TEN without the use Of poisonous drugs, the
thoughtless. and those who do not look deeply
into cause and effect, secuted the assertion as
chmercal, and wrote long articles replee with
sophistry, claiming that only through the dges
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 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,l 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
flectropathists; finally, it was discovered that
the failure in most of the cases of oeganic disea
ses, was entirely due to the machine. Taking
this view of the case, DR.. j. Fl. Josselyn. after
years of experiment, has perfected an Electro
pathic Instrument. which will cure any disease
which'fesh is heir to, always to be 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 smuch sooner
than without, and also that diseases hitherto
deemed incurable. can he cured by this SYSTEM
But the Directors desire to take this opportunity
to inform invalds that the Resident Physician is
q rLguar 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, which be will
send with full instructions for use, to any part of
the Pacific coast upon receiving full descrp-
tion of the disease with which the applicant may
be afflicted, and will5warrant n 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 a few days or weeks. The cost, too, is not 80
great as by the old system, besides the saving of
time. Connected with this system are the re.
nowueC
Electro.Magnetic Baths,
than which there is no more powerful auxiliary
in the world for the radical cure OF disease
There is no 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 mao 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 in constitution.
There is also. another view of the affair. The ri.
sing gen, ration should be reared with strong
constitution, and the Directors wish to arouse
their guardians to 4 proper sense Of their duties
in the premises, if possible to prevent them from
stufing their charges with deeterious drugs
with chance of entailing upon the tender con.
sftution just forming, n complication of evils
thousand times worse than death.
1t would be consuming space, to no purpose to
ennmeratc 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 pay
for services. when in his judgment it is within
the bounds of cure.
CAUTION.
Persons seeking the Electropathic Institute,
should be careful to remember the name and
