During our Investigations in the treatment OF dis
ease in it's 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 of our 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 the
most successful Medical Electricians in this country
Europe
Electrical investigation has proved that the human
body acts the principle OF the galvRnic battery.
The brain, mucous and serous mem nranes the skin
tissues, and fluids, constitute the negative and posi-
tive forces, and every action, whether mental ply
scai is the result ofthese antagOniso forces. Dges
ton respiration, circulation secretion, and excretion
are due solely electrical influence There is polar
action established throughout the nervous system
which connects with every part the body establish
pg and preserving proper balance of the electrical
element which constitutes health and disturbance
ofwhich causes disease. There strictly but two
conditions of disease-one OF Inflammation posi-
tive; the other, weak debilitated negaLive-And
electricity contains these two conditions in the action
of the positive and negative currents, all have To
do is TO neuralize the disease and restore proper
healthy action.
