During our investigations in the treatment of dis
IN its 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 beyond all previous knowledge
OF this my sterleus agent During the course Of our
practice we have treated and cured through the
knOwIedge thus gained many thousands, and by
means OF our new discoveries have established our.
selves the most successful Aedical ELECTRICIANS In
this country or Europe,
Electrical INVESTIGATION has proved that the human
body acts on the primo pie OF the galVanic battery
The brain, mucous and serous membranes, the skin,
tissues, and fluids constitute the negative and posi-
tive forces, and every action, whether mental or
physical Is the result of these antagOnstic forces
Digestion, respiration, circulation, secretion, and
eXcretion due solely electrical influence.
There Is polar action established throughout the
nervous system which connects with every part OF
the bouy, establishing and preserving proper
balance Of the electricaleement whcn constitutes
health and O disturbance of which causes disease
There are strlcCly out two conditions OF disease
one of inflammation, or positive; the other weak,
debiltated, negatve-and electricity contains
these two conditions IN the action of the positive
and negative currents, all we have to do is to
neutraIze the disease and restore proper, healthy
action.
Among the chronic diseases which electricity
has been, and daily beng by our agency, OF the
greatest utility, being rapidly effected after
