During our investigations in the treatment of dis

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
Europe.
Electrical investigation has proved that the human
body acts the principle of the gavanic battery.
The brain, mucous and serous membranes, the skin
tissues and fluids, constitute the negative and posi-.
