During oar investigations in the treatment Of dis-
it's 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 my serieus agent. During the course OF our
practice we have treated and cured, through the
knowledge thus gained, many thousands, and By
means of 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 principle OF the Ralvanc battery,
The brain, mucous and Serious membranes, the skins
tissues and fluids constitute the negative and posi-
tive forces, and every action, whether mental er
physical is the result of these antagonistic 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 booy, establishing and preserving proper
balance of the eleotricalelement 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 electricity contains
! these two conditions in the action of the positive
and negative currents, all we have to do is to
neutralize the disease and restore proper, healthy
