Diseases Of the Human Body.
THE WONDERFUL X.RAY
And Its Uses..The Appliances in Use
Mt DR.. Gre ene's Institute in Mear's
Building.

Late developments in the electrical
line for medical use have attracted the
attention Of the prominent physicians
Of the world. and well may 1t be so,
for the numerous discoveries IN IRIS
unlimited field have surpassed the ex-
pectations of the most ardent believers
in electricity for medical purposes.
A few years ago we found IN the
physicians office only the small GAL
Vanic and faradic batteries, but today
we have in nearly every city, electrical
institutes equipped with a plant far
superior to that formerly maintained In
our largest medical colleges. Wems-
hurst, Holtz, Toepler, Atkinson, Nor
ton and Ranney have developed the
electro-static Influence Machine into
one of the most useful medical appll-
ances of today, and 1t is now acknowl-
edged by all competent physicians, the
means Of applying the greatest tonic
known for the human system.
The static spray bath will benefit In
every case; athletes take the static
treatment to remove soreness from the
muscles and to build up and strengthen
the muscular and nervous tissue OF the
body. Rheumatics find great relief
from the application of clectro-static
massage, the wasting of the muscles
in cases of paralysis Is prevented ana
the unpleasant disease of catarrh can
be conquered by the inhalation of ozone
from the eleotro-static machine II
you have ever breathed the air in the
vicinity of Pixies Peak, Colorado. you
will recognize the same peculiar atmos-
phere when in a room with large
electro-static machine in operation.
The discovery Of the Y Ray from
the CrOoke's tube by the aid of which
metallic substance can be seen through
the flesh Of the body. through wood,
paper. leather and nearly every known
material except metals, has astounded
the scientists of the world
The galvanic current has proven to
be the greatest curative known to
sician will dispute the merits Of galvan-
ism; it has long been known as a valu-
able therapeutic, and has recently ac-
complished good results in cases not
heretofore considered amenable to any
electrical treatment.
Faradism, which has grown steadily
in popularity since the active days of
Fariday, whose name will forever be
honored in every medical college of the
world, Is now used one hundred times
to one ten years ago. Sinusoidal (mag-
neD currents were not utilized as u
| therapeutic few years ago, where to-
treatment for many diseases. The gal
vano-cautery is taking the place of the
| surgeons knife In most cases, and can
be put to use in scores Of ways.
| We find all of these valuable ma
chimes and appliances in DR.. Green's 8

To give the reader an idea Of what
can be seen at this institute, we will
mention a fist of the appliances now
in use by DR.. Green and his assistants:
A mammoth electro-static machine, ca
pacity $4,000 volts. all electrodes for
same. galvanic and faradic cabinet
carrying any desired number of cells
with "a switchboard comprising cell
/ switch throwing in circuit from one cell
up, rheotome, rheOstat milliammeter,
| pole changer, current selectOr and coil.
a powerful galvano-cautery. grenet
cells, the latest sinusoidal machine.
current controllers, one of the most
complete electrical chairs yet devised,
with double switchboard on back, elec-
| trio laryngoscope and rheostat, electric
illuminators and depressors, cataphoric
electrodes. faradic massage electrodes,
many styles of handles, rectal, vaginal,
nasal, tonsil. uterine, brush, urethral,
larynx, arm. ear, eye, head, foot alb
dominal syringe, structure and dispen-
| sive electrodes, eye magnet, needles
and holders for electrolysis, sounds,
fibroid needles, forceps electrode hold
ers magnifying glasses, extra milliam-
meters. cords, chains, connectors, etc.
All diseases amenable to electrical
treatment are treated at this institute.
