During urinvestigatons in the treatment OF dis
ease in 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 beyond all previous knowledge of
this mysterious agent During the of our prac
tce we have treated and cured, through the know
ledge thus gained, many thousands, and by means of
our new discoveries have established ourselves rs the
most successful Medical Electricians in this country
or Europe.
Electrical investigation has proved that the human
body acts on the principle of the galvanic battery.
The brain, mucous and serous mem oranes, the skin
tissues ana fluids, constitute the negative and posi-
tive forces, and every action whether mental or phy-
sca is the result ofthese Rntagonstc forces. Dges-
ton, respiration circulation, secretion, and excreton
due solely to electrical influence There Is polar
action established throughout the nervous system
which connects with every part OF the body establish
rg and preserving proper balance of the electrical
element which constitutes health and a disturbance
ofwhich causes disease. There are strictly but two
conditions OF disease-one oil Inflammation or posi-
tive; the other, weak, debiltated negative-and as
electricity contains these two conditions In the action
of the positive and negative currents, all have to
do is TO neutraize the disease and restore proper
healthy action,
