SOME PLAIN STATEMENTS OF FACT

In introducing the physicians Of THE
ELECTRoPATHIC INSTITUTE to the pub
lie of Pittsburg, no wild promises or high
sounding words will be used. With an intel
hgent and discriminating people, such as we
have to deal with, the simple, straightfor-
ward statement of facts will amply serve
to show the benefits which the sick and
diseased;of this region are TO receive from
the location of these gentlemen here.
In the first place, the physicians of THE
ELECTROPATHIC INSTITUTE are regu-
,larly trained, regularly educated doctors,
graduates of the best medical colleges in the
country, who have since their graduation
devoted themselves entirely to those new
and modern discoveries in medicine and
surgery which have developed the wonder
full curative powers of electricity.
They are scientific men of scientific train
ing and association, recognized in che pro-
fession as electrical scientists, who have
done valuable service in perfecting and dis
covering electrical methods and appliances.
They propose to do sufficient advertising to
demonstrate to the profession and the pub
lie of Pittsburg the value and power of these
comparatively
NEW AND WONDERFUL
agents in the cure of disease.
Electricity as a simple force has long been
known to the world, and while its nature
and its uses have been largely developed by
peutical agent is recent, and has been
greatly embarrassed and obstructed: First,
by the ignorance of those using it, as to the
relations that electricity sustains to the nor
NAL forces of the body; and, secondly, by
the imperfection of the instruments con-
structed to produce it, failing in adaptation
to this special purpose. And finally, by the
ignorance of manipulators.
Much that is wonderful in the discoveries
relating to the application of electricity to
the cure of disease has reached the ears OF
the public through the current and secular
press. Depending upon this many ignorant
and unframed men-who are not doctors in
the first, and have not the most shadowy
claim to being specialists or scientists in
the second place-have advertised them
selves to the public as Electrical Healers,
Electrical Physicians and Electrical Insti-
tutes, seeking by this
METHOD OF IMPosTURE
To make money out of that genuine and
wonderful department of Therapeutics, Of
the real efficacy and applications of which
they are as ignorant as a child might be of
the mechanism of the Corliss engine.
For the present we w1 o tha sRRs STATE
Institute, the profession and the public are
to have the benefits of the scientific appli-
cation of the new therapeutical agent
These gentlemen recognize its limitations
and are not placing it before the public as q
cure all. Its wonderful power within the
limits in which they have by practical test
and experience as well as by scientific de-
forth-no more.
In other words, the physicians Of the
Electropathic Institute, will give their
electrical treatment for just such diseases
and to just such class of patients as they
have found 1t effective within the past.
They confine their experiments to their

in their practice. The diseases that they
will treat by electricity in Pittsburg are
DISEASES THAT THEY HAVE CURED
by electricity time and again-diseases over
which the power of electricity, as curative
agent, has been abundantly and unquestion-
ably established in their own practice and
under their own observation.
Their theories and methods they hold in
common with such men as Wagner, Lum-
broso and Matteini, with Corning and Rey-
nolds, Cogney of London and Gartner, OF
Vienna, with these and other scientists Of
the modern school they find electricity
potent as an agent in maladies of the skin
and mucus membranes, in diseases of the
nerves and the blood. 1t comes in its new
power as revelation to the der

Scientific men, of genuine qualifications
and credentials of extended experience and
practice, administering this new and won-
derful agent in the cure of disease-this is
the benefit that the people of Pittsburg re-
ceive from the establishment OF the Electro
pathic Institute.
The physicians in charge of this Institute
receive and successfully treat all patients
suffering from chronic ailments:
NERVOUS DISEASES, BLOOD DISEASES,
RHEUMATISM,
