STATIC ELECTRICITY.
APPLICABLE TO WIDE RANGE
OF DISEASES.
Successful if Applied by Carefully
Trained Physicians.

Popular knowledge of electricity is conf
fined to few general impressions. Thai
electricity Is a force is about all that the
popular mind has absorbed concerning the
subject, unless it may be added that most
persons stand In fear of it as something
dangerous and uncanny. How manV
know that but for electricity all life
would cease? 1t is becoming more and
more understood as the one vital principle
OF existence. The earth, the air. our
bodies, are charged with it, dispense hi
feed upon it and are Influenced bv It.
Electricity is of the air and of the
earth part. 1t is being understood in it'd
relation to our physical and mental re-
qurements as never before. CharcOt. Erb.

electrical treatment has been enormous
Improved apparatus has had much to do
with this. The best minds in the medical
profession today are working along these
lines.
OF the three forms of medical electrici-
ty' static, faradic and galvanic. the static
is today the most general in its applica-
ton. For certain diseases the faradic is
required, for Others the galvanic.
Some Of the principal advantages OF
static electricity are that greater electro
motive force is obtained than with faradic
and the patient has to remove no clothing
The clothing offers Just the kind of dissi
pating and ditfusing resistance required
The latter feature makes it especially
popular with women, who shrink from
exposure and disrobing.
