No. 1920 WALNUT ST.

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 beyond all previous knOwledgS
OF this mysterious agent. During the course of our
practice we have treated and cured, through tho
knowledge thus gained, many thousands, and by
means of our new discoveries have established our
selves the most successful Medical Electricians in
this country or Europe.
Electrical Investigation has proved that the human
body acts on the prIncple OF the gavanic battery.
The brain, mucous and serous membranes, the skin.
tissues and fluids constitute the negative and posi-
tive forces, and efery action, whether mental or
physical Is the result of these antagonistic torces
Digestion, respiration, circulation, secretion, and
excretion due solely to electrical influence
There is polar action established throughout the
nervous system which connects with every part on
the body, establishing and preserving a proper
balance of the electricalelement 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,
debilitated, 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.
