ease in it's various forms by the agency Of electricity
we have obtained very many valuable and startling
iscts, which, added to the previous though limited
information, possessed b. other and less fortunate
operators, place Us beyond all previous knowledge
OF this my seriSus 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 oar
selves the most successful Medical Electricians in
this country or Europe.
Electrical Investigation has proved that the human
body acts on the princpe OF the galvanic battery.
The brain, mucous and serous membranes. heskin,
tissues and fluids constitute the negative aud pos-
tive torces and every action, whether mental OF
physical Ia the result of these antagonstic forces
Digestion, respiration circulation, secretion, and
excretion are due solely TO electrical influence.
There is polar action established throughout the
nervous system which connects with every part of
the body, establishing aud preserving o proper
balance Of the electricalelement 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
debilhated, negative-and as electricity contains
these two conditions IN the action of the positive
and negative currents, all we have to do il to
neuiraze the disease and restore proper, healthY
action.
Among the chronic diseases in which eIectrioIty
has been, and IS daily being by our agency, of the
greatest utility, being rapidly effected after
the failure OF ali other means, are:-
1, Epilepsy, Chorea, or st. Vitus' Dance Paraly.
sis lHemplegial Neuralgia, HYsteria, Nervousness,
Palpitaton of the Heart. Lockjaw, eic
q Sore Throat, Dyspepsia, DIarrhea, Dysentery
Obstinate Constipation, HRmorrholdes, or Piles
Bilious Flatulent, and Painters Colo, and all afeo-
tons of the Liver and Spleen.
3. Catarrh, Cough, Influenza, Asthma when not
caused by organic disease Of the heart) Bronohtis
Pleurlsy, PieurodS ma, or rheumatism OF the Chest
L. Gravel, Diabetes, and Kidney Complaints
Impotence, and Seminal Weakness The latter
complaints neUer fail to yteEd rapidly to this treat.

Mrs. BECKWITH has entire charge of the Ladies'
Department, and all delicacy will be used
towards those who entrust themselves to her care
In female diseases it is universally successful in her
hands.
For the convenience of those desiring in normatlon,
