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 knowledge
OF this mysterious agent. During the course Of
practice we have treated ana 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
this country or Europe.
Electrical Investigation has proved that the human
body acts on the princple 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
physical is the result of these antagonstic forces
Digestion, respiration, circulation, secretion, and
eXcretiOn are due solely to electrical influence
There is polar action established throughout the
nervous system which connects with every partOf
the body, establishing and preserving a proper
balance of the electricalelement which constitutes
health, and a disturbance of which causes disease.
There strictly but two conditions OF disease
one of Inflammation, or positive; the other weak,
debilitated negativo-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.
Among the chronic diseases in which electricity
has been, and IS daily being by our agency, of the
greatest utility cure being rapidly effected after
the failure OF all other means, are;-
l. Epilepsy, Chorea, or st. VItus' Dance, Paraly.
sis (HemplegiaI Neuralgia, Hysteria, Nervousness,
PalpitahOn OF the Heart, Lockjaw, etc.
2. Sore Throat Dyspepsia, Dlarrhea, DYsentery,
Obstinate Constipation, Hemorrholdes, Piles,
Bilious Flatuent and Painters Collc and all affec-
tons of the Liver and Spleen.

caused by organic disease OF the hearCl Bronchitis,
Pleurisy, PIeurOdy ma, or Rheumatism OF the Chest
4. Gravel, Diabetes, and Kidney Complaints
Impotence, and Seminal Weakness, The latter
complaints neUer TAIL to yield rapidly to this treat
DJe7lt.
Rheumatism, Gout Lumbago, Stiff Neck,
Spiral curvature, Hip Diseases, Cancers, Tumors
those last named always cured witnouI pain, or
Uterus Comp laints involving a NAL position,
as Prolapsus, Antroversion, RetroversiOn, Infam-
nation liberation, ana various other affections OF
the Womb anu Ovaries.
For information desired upon other diseases, ap
phcaton may be made at the office, or by letter.

| Department, and all delicacy will be usec
towards those who enlrust themselves to her care
In female diseases, it is universally successful in he
hands.
