the reporter being aroused. he Inquired
what the machine was. This is
static electrical battery. Take seat
and see how IL works" The reporter
got in the unseated chair and the doc
tor ran the machine, sending a volume
OF electricity through the air into the
body OF the newspaper man. II was a
pleasant sensation and made the scribe
feel considerably better. This battery Is
used to effect many cures, and Its ac-
ton is based on a natural law, that IL
sufficient electricity is not in the hu-
man system, It must be supplied,
The current passes through the
clothing without hindrance. Electricity
from the static machine is used to
create ozone I'm apparatus attached to
