During our Investigations in the treatment of dis
in it's 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 my sterieus agent. During the course of our
practice we have treated and cured, through the
knowledge thus gained, many thousands, and by
means of our new discoveries have established our.
selves the most successful Medical Electriciaus in
this country or Europe.
Electrical Investigation has proved that the human
body acts on the principle of the gavanic battery
The brain, mucous and serous membranes, the skin,
tissues, and fluids constitute the negative and posi-.
tive forces, and every action, whether mental or
physical, Is the result of these antagonistic forces
Digestion, respiration, circulation, secretion and
exoretion due solely to electrical influence.
There is polar action established throughout the
nervous system which connects with every part of
the BODY, establishing and preserving a proper
balance of the electricalelement which constitutes
health and a 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
neutraize the disease and restore proper, healthy
action.
