ELECTRICAL INSTITUTE,
No. 1920 WALNUT ST.

During our investigations in the treatment of db-
its various 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 bevond all previous knowledge
of this mysterious agent. During the course of
practice we have treated and cured, through the
knowledge thus gained, many thousands, and By
means Of our new discoveries have established
selves the most successful Medical Electricians
this country Europe, the long list references
at our office can testify.
Electrical Investigation has proved that the human
body acts on the princpe OF the galvanic battery.
The brain, mucous and serous membranes, the sklns
tissue and fluids constitute the negative and posi-
tive forces, and every action, whether mental or
physical Is the result of these antagonstic forces,
Digestion, respiration circulation, secretion, and
excretion due solely to electrical influence.
There is a polar action established throughout tho
nervous system which connects with every part OF
the body, establishing and preserving a proper
balance of the eectrcaleement which constitutes
health, and disturbance of which causes disease
There strictly but two conditions OF disease
one of Inflammation, or positive; the other weak.
debilitated, negatiye-and as electricity contains
these two conditions in the action of the positive
and negative currents all we have to DO is to
neutralize the disease and restore proper, healthy
action.
Among the chronic diseases in which electricity
has been, and IS daily being by our agency of ths
greatest utility, being rapidly effected alter
