facts which, added to the previous though limited
information possessed by other and less fortunate
operators, place beyond all previous knowledge of
this mysterious agent During the of prac

ledge thus gained, many thousands, and by of
discoveries have established ourselves as the
most successful Medical Electricians in this country
Europe.
Electrical investigation has proved that the human

element which constitutes health, and disturbance
ofwhich causes disease. There are strictly but two
conditions OF disease-one of Inflammation or posi-

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 action,
