MEDICAL ELECTRICITY.
Latest and Most Important Discoveries
Ia the Treatment OF Chronic
Diseases.
DR.. S. w. BECKWITH'S

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 tho previous though limited
information possessed By other and less fortunate
operators, place us beyond all previous knowledge
OF tins my seri;us agent. Luring the course of our
practice we have ueated and cured, through the
knowledge thus gained, many thousands, and by
means OF our new discoveries have established our.
selves the most successful Medical Electricians IN
tins country or Europe.
Electrical Investigation has proved that the human
body acts on the princple OF the galvanic battery
The brain, mucous and seIous membranes, the skin
iissue ahd fluids constitute the negative aud posi-.
tive forces, and every action, whether mental or
physical, is the result OF these antagonistc forces

here is polar action established throughout the
nervous system which connects with every part OF
the boGy, establishing and preserving a proper
balance of the electricae!cment 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 is to
neutralze the disease and restore proper, healthy
action.
