During our investigations in the treatment of di.
ease IN its various forms by the agency Of electois
we have obtained very many valuable and startliUc
facts, which, ADDED to the previous though ltmited
information possessed by other and less fortupAt.
operators, place US beyond all previous knOwledes
Of this mysterious agent. During the course of our
practice we have treated and cured, through the
knowledge thus gained, many thousands and bV
means OF our new discoveries have established eur.
selves as the most successful Medical EIeotucians IN
this country or Europe.
Electrical Investigation has proved that the humsa
body acts on the princple OF the Ravanic battery,
The brain, mucous and serious membranes, the Skin
tissues, and fluids constitute the negative and poais
tive forces, and every action, whether mental OF
physical Is the result of these antagonistic forces
Digestion, respiration, circulation, secretion ana
excretion are due solely to electrical influence.
There is polar action established throughout the
nervous system which connects with every part O(
the body, establishing and preserving a proper
balance Of the electricalelement which consututea
health, and disturbance of which causes disease.
There are strictly but two conditions of disease
one Of inflammation or positiVe the other weak
debilitated, 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, heathv
action.
Among the chronic diseases in which eIectricitw
has been, and IS daily being by our agency of the
greatest utility, cure being rapidly effected atter
the failure OF all other means, are:-
