During our investigations in the treatment of dis
ease in ts various forms by the agency of electricity
we have obtained very many valuable and startling
facts, which, added to the previous though limited
information possessedvby other and less fortunate
operators, place us beyond all previous knowledge
OF this mysterious agent During the course of our
practice we have treated and cured, through the
knowledge thus gained, many thousands and by
means OF our new discoveries have established our.
selves as the most successful Medical Electricians in
this country or Europe the long list OF references
at our office can testify.
Electrical Investigation has proved that the human
body acts on the principle Of the gavanic battery
The brain, mucous and serous membranes, the skin,
tissues, and fluids constitute the negative and posi-.
tive forces, and every action, whether mental or
physical is the result of these antagonistc forces
Digestion 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, establishing and preserving a proper
balance of the electrlcslelement which constitutes
health and a disturbance of which causes disease
There are strictly but two conditions of disease
one of Inflammation, or positive; the other weak,
debilitated, negatve-and as electricity contains
these two conditions in the action of the positive
and negative currents, all we have to do s to
neutraize the disease and restore proper, healthy
action.
Among the chronic diseases in which electricity
has been and IS daily being by our agency, OF the
greatest utility, being rapidly effected after
the failure of all other means, are:-
l. Epilepsy, Chorea, or st. Vitus' Dance, Paraly-
sis (Hempegial Neuralgia, HYsteria, Nervousness,
