MEDICAL ELECTRICITY.
Wonderful Scientific Discovery.
DIR. S. w. BECKWITH'S
ELECTRICAL INSTITUTE,
No. 1920 WALNUT STREET,
For the Treatment OF Acute and OhrOnIC
Diseases.

Electrical investigation has proved that the human
body acts the principle Of the savanc battery.
The brain mucous and serous membranes the skim
tissues and fluids constitute the negative and positive
forces Every action, whether mental or physical, is
the result Of these antaeonstic forces. Digestion

due solely to Electrical influence There IS polar
action esab shed throughout the nervous system which
connects With every part Of the body establishing and
preserving pro balance of the electrical element
which constitutes health and disturbance of which
disease. There strictly but conditions of
csease-one of Inflammation, or positive; the other
weak, debitated negative; and Electricity contains
these two conditions in the action Of the positive and
negative currents, all have TO do is to neuraze
the disease and restore proper healthy action. ..
We do not wish 10 convey the impresslon7 that we
cure all diseases IN all conditions. We cannot cure

do assert and are prepared to practically demonstrate
that hundreds OF almost every form of chronic
diseases, pronounced incurable by the best medical
practitioners Of the country, have been radical Y
CURED, some OF them In incredibly short time by
our Electrical treatment Its great superiority over
other practice in the of disease also atteted In
the fact that within the past years FOURTEEN
THOUSAND patients have been treated this office

of disease common to humanity and 10 nearly all cases
