During our investigations In treatment of disease
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 In
formation possessed by other and less fortunate
operators, place us beyond all previous knowledge
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 as of the most successful Medical Electro
clans in this country or Europe.
Electrical investigation has proved that the human
body acts the principle Of the galvanic battery
The brain, mucus and serious membranes, tho skin,
tissues and fluids constitute the negative and positive
forces, and every action, whether mental physical
is the result Of these antagonstic forces. Digestion
respiration, circulation secretion and excretion
due solely to electrical influence. There is polar
action established throughout the nervous system
which connects with every part Of the body, estab
fishing and preserving proper balance Of the electro
cal element which constitutes health, and disturb
ance Of which causes disease. There strictly bnt
two Conditions Of disease-one of Inflammation, or
positive; the other weak, debitated, negative and
as electricity contains these two conditions in the
action of the positive and negative currents all we
have to do is to neurallze the disease and restore
proper, healthy action.
Among the chronic diseases in which electricity
has been, and is daily being by our agency OF the
greatest utility cure being rapidly effected after the
failure of all other means, are
/. Epilepsy, Cherea, or St. yitus Dance Paralysis,
Hemplegia,) Neuralgia, Hysteria Nervousness, Pal
pitation Of the Heart, Lockjaw, etc.
O. Sore Throat, Dyspepsia, DiarrhGa, Dysenery,
Obstinate Constipation, Hamorrhoides, or Piles, BIZ

Pleutisy, PlenrodvHia or Rheumatism of the Chest,
Consumption in the early stages.
Gravel. Diabetes, and Kidney Complaints, I'M
potence aud Seminal Weakness. The latter COM
plants fail to yied rapidly to this treatment.
8. Rheumatism, Gout, Lumbago, Stiff Neck, Spinal
Curvature, Hip Diseases, Cancers, Tnmora. Chose
last named always cured without pain, or cutting,
or plasrers in any form.)
8, Uterus Complaints, involving mal-positicn, rs
