ELECTRICAL TREATMENT.

Electricity when properly and scien-
tifically applied, is a powerful and
most valuable remedial agent in the
treatment of certain chronic.and ner-
vous diseases, which have been looked
upon as incurable. Electrical treat
ments have been specially valuable i'm
treatment of certain Nervous Diseases,
rheumatism, Diseases of Women,
Stomach and Kidney Troubles, and in
many cases where the system is run
down, producing feeling of weakness,
lassltude, dependency, etc. Drs.
Downing & Co.'S. offices are supplied
with the most perfect Electrical Appli-
ances made, which they use with mar
velOus results i'm cases requiring Electro
cal Treatment. If you are afflicted
with any long standing disease or
weakness you should consult these
physicians at once; don't wait until
the opportunity to obtain treatment
from Drs. Downing 4 Co. is gone.
They cure after other physicians fail.
A course of treatment may add years
and happiness to your lie.
