MEDICAL BLECTRICITY
Latest and Most Important Discoveries
In the Treatment OF Chronic
Diseases.

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 US bevond 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 the most successful Medical Electricians IN
tins country or Europe.
Electrical investigation has proved that the human
body acts on the prnc.ple OF the gavanic battery.
1he brain, mucous and serous membranes, the SKIN
tissues, and fluids constitute the negative aud posi-
tive forces, and every action, whether mentaI or
physical IS the result of these antagOnistc forces
Digestion, respiration, clIculai u, secretion, and
excretion are due soIely 10 eeItrlcal influence.
1here is polar action established throughout the
nervous system when connects with every part Of
the bOdy, establishing aud preserving a proper
balance Of the electri caleIement whicn constitutes
nCalth, and q disturbance of which causes disease
There strictly out two conditions OF disease
one of inflammation, or pOsItive; the other weak,
debihtated, negRtive-and as electricity contains
these two conditions the action of the positive
and negative currents, all we have to DO Is to
neutraze the disease and restore proper, healthy
action.
Among the chronic diseases in which electricity
has been, and IS oaIly being by our agency, OF the
greatest utility, cure being rapidly effected after
the fmuTe OF all other means, are:-
