ELECTRICAL INSTITUTE,
No, 1920 WALNUT Street.

During our investigations in the treatment Of dis
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 course of our
tice we have treated and cured, through the know
ledge thus gained many thousands, and by means Of
our new discoveries have established ourselves the
most successful Medical Electricians in this country
Europe.
Electrical investigation has proved that the human
body acts on the principle of the gavanic battery
The brain, mucous and serous mem branes, the skin
tissues, and fluids constitute the negative and posi-
tive orces and every action whether mental or ply

action established throughout the nervous system
which connects with every part of the body establish
and preserving proper balance of the electrical
element which constitutes health and disturbance
ofwhch causes disease. There are strictly but two
conditions OF disease-one oil Inflammation or posi-
tive; the other, weak, debllitated, negatve-and as
electricity contains these 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.
