During our investigations in the treatment Of dis
ease it's forms BY the agency Of oieCtncty
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 previ0us knowiedgs
OF this mysterious 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 Electricians IN
this country or Europe.
Electrical Investigation has proved that the human
body acts on the pruciple OF the Ralvanic battery
The brain, mucous aud serous membranes. the skin,
tissues and fluids constitute the negative and post
tive forces, and every action, whether mental or
physical Is the result of these antagonstc forces.
Digestion. respiration, circulation, secretion, and
eXcretiOn are due solely TO electrical influence.
There is q polar action established throughout the
nervous system which connects with every part OF
the body, establishing and preserving proper
balance of the electricalelement which constitutes
health, and disturbance of winch causes disease.
There are strictly out 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 have to do Is to
neutralize the disease and restore proper, heatnT
action.
Among the chronic diseases IN which electricity
has been, and IS oaily beng by our agency. OF the
