MEDICAL ELECTRICITY.
Latest and Most Important DiscOverieD
in the Treatment Of Chronic
Diseases,
DIR. S. W. BECKWITHs
ELECTRICAL INSTITUTE,
No. 1920 WALNUT ST.

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 tins 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
this country or Europe.
Electrical investigation has proved that the human
body acts on the prncple 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 or
physical, Is the result of these antagonistc forces
DIG eston, respiration, circulation, secretion, and
eXcretion due solely 10 electrical influence
There is q polar action established throughout the
nervous system which connects with every part OF
the body, establishing and preserving q proper
balance Of the electrcaleement which constitutes
health, and a disturbance of which causes disease
There are strictly but two conditions OF disease
one of inflammation, or positive; the other weak,
debnitated, negatiye-and as electricity contains
these two conditions III the action of the positive
and negative currents, all we have to do is to
neuralize the disease and restore proper, healthy
action.
Among the chronic diseases in which electricity
has been, and Is daily beng by our agency, of the
greatest utlty, cure being rapidly eAected after
the failure OF all other means are:-
J. Epilepsy, Chorea, or ST. Vitus' Dance Paralv,
SIS (hemplegiab Neuralgia, Hystera, Nervousness

Mrs. BECKWITH has entire charge of the Ladioa,
Department, and all decacy will be useo
towards those who entrust themselves to her care
In female diseases it is universally successful IN be
