Latest and Most Important Discoveries
in the Treatment of Chronic
Diseases.

ELECTRICAL INSTITUTE,
No. 1920 WALNUT Street.

During our investigations in the treatment OF dis.
ease in its 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 beyond all previous knowledge OF
this mysterious agent During the of prac-
tice we have treated and cured, through the know
ledge thus gained many thousands, and by means of
our new discoveries have established ourselves as the
most successful Medical Electricians in this country
or Europe.
Electrical investigation has proved that the human
body acts the principle of the galvanic battery.
The brain, mucous and serous mem branes, the skin
tissues and fluids constitute the negative and posi-
tive iorces and every action whether mental ply
scai the result ofthese antagonistc forces. Dges
tion respiration circulation secretion, and excreton
are due solely 10 electrical influence. There is polar
action established throughout the nervous system
which connects with every part OF the body establish
ing and preserving proper balance of the electrical
element which constitutes health, and disturbance
of which causes disease. There strictly but TWO
conditions OF disease-one of inflammation, or posi-
tive: the other, weak, deblitated, negative-and
electricity contains these two conditions the action
of the positive and negative currents, all have to
do is to neutralize the disease and restore proper
healthy action
Among the chronic diseases in which electricity has
been and daily being by agency Of the greatest
utility q being rapidly effected after the failure
of all other means, are;-
