During our Investigations in the treatment OF as
ease in its various forms by the agency OF electrcy
we have obtained very many valuable and starting
fncts, which, added to the previous though Limited
information possessed by other and less fortunate
operators place beyond all previous knowledge OF
this mysterious agent During the course OF our prac
tice we have treated and cured through the know
ledge thus gained, many thousands, and by means OF
discoveries have established ourselves as the
most successful Medical Electricians in this country
Europe.
Electrical investigation has proved that the human
body acts on the principle Of the gavRnic battery
The brain, mucous and serious membranes, the skin
tissues, and fluids, constitute the negative and posi-
tive iorces and every action whether mental or ply
sicai result ofthese anagonstic forces. Diges
tion respiration circulation secretion and excretion
are due solely to electrical influence There is polar
action established throughout the nervous system
which connects with every part OF the body establish
ing and preserving proper balance Of the electrical
element which constitutes health and disturbance
ofwbich causes disease. There strictly but TWO
conditions OF disease-one of Inflammation, or posi-
tive; the other weak, debltated, negative-and as
electricity contains these two conditions in the action
of the positive and negative currents all we have to
do is TO neutraze the disease and restore proper
healthy action.
Among the chronic diseases In which electricity has
been and is daily being by agency of the greatest
