During our investigations in the treatment of dis.
ease its various forms by the agency Of electricity
we have obtained very many valuable and startling
facts. which, auded TO the previous though limited
information possessed by other and less fortunate
operators, place US bevond all pfovisus knowledge
OF this my serieus 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 the principle OF the gavanic battery,
The brain, mucous and serous membranes the skin,
tissues and fluids constitute the negative aud posi-.
tive ioTces and every action, whether mental or
physical Is the result of these antagonistc forces,
Digestion, respiration circulation, secretion and
excrotion are 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 eectrcalelement which constitutes
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 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, healthy
action.
Among the chronic diseases in which electricity
has been, and IS daily being by agency, OF the
greatest utility, being rapidly effected after
the failure OF all other means, are:-
