ELECTRICAL INSTITUTE,
No. 1920 WALNUT Street.

During our urnvestgatlons in the treatment OF dis.
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 aud less fortunate
operators, place beyond all previous knowledge OF
this mysterious agent During the course OF our prac-
tice we have treated and cured, through the know
ledge thus gained, many thousands, and by means OF
discoveries have established ourselves as the
most successful Medical Electricians in this country
Europe.
Electrical investigation has proved that the human
body acts the principle of the gavanic battery.
The brain, mucous aud serOus memO mOranes, the skin
tissues, and fluids, constitute the negative and posi-
tive iorces and every action whether mental or ply
sical is the result ofthese anagonstc forces. Diges
tion respiration, circulation, secretion and excretion
due solely to electrical influence. There is polar
action established throughout the nervous system
which connects with every part OF the body establish
and preserving proper balance of the electrical
element which constitutes health, and disturbance
of which causes disease. There are strictly but two
conditions OF disease-one of Inflammation, or posi-
tive; the other, weak, deblitated negative-and as
electricity contains these two conditions in the action
OF the positive and negative currents all we have to
do is to neutraze the disease and restore proper
healthy action,
Among the chronic diseases in which electricity has
been and is daily being by agency, of the greatest
utility, cure being rapidly effected after the failure
OF all other means, are
