During Investigations in the treatment of dts
ease in its various forms by the agency Of electricity
we have obtained very many valuable and startling
facts, which, aoded to the previous though limited
information, possessed BY other and less fortunate
operators, place us beVOnd all previous knowledge
OF this mysterious agent. During the course of our
practice we have treated and cured, through the
knowledge thus gained, many thousands, and by
means of our new discoveries have established our
selves as the most successful Medical Electricians IN
this country or Europe.
Electrical Investigation has proved that the human
body acts the pr1noiple of the gavanic battery.
The brain, mucous and serious 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 antagonistc 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 part of
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
neutraize 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;-
