During our investigations in the treatment of dis
ease IN its forms by the agency Of electricity
we have obtained very many valuable and startling
facts, which, ADDED to the previous though limited
information possessed by other and less fortunate
operators, place us beyond all previous knowledge
OF this my steneus agent During the course Of our
practice we have treated and cured through the
knowledge thus gained, many thousands, and Wy
means OIL our new discoveries have established our.
selves as the most successful Hedcal ELECTRICIANS

Electrical inYesugauon has proved that the human
body acts on the prlncple OF the galvanc battery.
The brain, mucous ana serOus membranes, the sKini
tissues, funds constitute the negative ana posi-
tive TO- Ces, and every action, whether mentaI or
physical, Is the result OF these antagonsuc torces
Dle esIiOn, respIauOl, circulation, secretion, and
excreton are due solely 10 electrical influence.

nervous system which connects with every part OF

There are strictly out two conditions OF disease
one of inflammation, or positive; the other weak,

these two conditions in the action of the positive
