Latest and Most Important Discoveries
In the Treatment of Chronic
Diseases.
DIR. S. w. BECKWITH's
ELECTRICAL INSTITUTE,
10. 1920 WALNUT ST.


During our investigations in the treatment Of dis
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 b. other and less fortunate
operators, place us beyond all previous knowledgs
OF this my seri: agent uring the course of our
practice we have treated and cured, through tha
knowledge thus gained many thousands, and by
means OF our new discoveries have established our
selves the most successful Medical Electncaus in
this country or Europe.
Electrical Investigation has proved that toe human
body acts the prInciple OF the gavanic battery
1he brain, mucous and serious membraues the skin,
tissues, and fluids constitute the negative and posi-
tive forces, and every action, whether mental or
physical is the result OF these antagonstIc torces.
Digestion, respiration, circulation, secretion, and
excretion are due solely 10 electrical influence.
There is polar action established throughout the
nervous system which connects with every part OF
the booy, establishing and preserving proper
balance Of the electrlcalelement which constitutes
health, and disturbance of which cnuses disease.
There are strictly but two conditions of disease
one of inflammation, or positive; the other weak
debilltated, negative--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 heaIthV
action.
Among the chronic diseases in which electricity
has been, and is daily being by agency, OF the
greatest utility, cure being rapidly eAected after
the failure OF all other means, ares

Department and all delicacy will be used
towards tboe who entrust themselves to her care
In female diseases il is universally successful in her
hands.
