has seen many rise to places OF large gain.

was getting about $40 week as clerk

tended to quit, as he had no hope to rise.
He advised him to ask his employers for a
different sort of work. He did so, they
tried him ON outside work, and to-day he

OF the many examples which make Mr..
Sherman hopeful for the young man of

DR.. Mclaughlin has not only proved
that electricity is the substance of

and soon transforms the deblitated
body into natural storage battery,
which generates its own health and
closes the doors forever to disease
and debility.

New York Journal ulogizes
as the man of the hour, gives
in a series Of lectures at Co
lumbia College his experi-
ences in delving into the
mystery which surrounds the
origin Of life. He explains
the vital processes and, at t,~
ter ten years Of close iAAl pa
study, arrives at the definite NM.
conclusion that demonstra- EaSst@i
ton Of life and action In ey- &
cry living thing is due to ~
electricity. W.
Prof. Loeb says that the H1
processes of life can be aidedS n
by electrical stimulation,
and that what is known as
old age may be deferred by
this means.
Finally, he asserts that all
animal nerves and muscles
may be aroused and made ~
active by electrical charges; ss
that the basis of life is not EaS1iS
heat, But electricity. ;
This is the conclusion or a s:
learned student; a man whok..
delves into scientific subj!
jects for the benefit of hu-
manity. so that others may -
live and be made happier by
his work.
This is all in line with 4
Dr.. McLaughlin's teachings,
which have been in print for
the past ten years. DR.. Mclaughlin
has been a student of this subject fol
twenty years and has made his obser-
vations from cases under persona
treatment.
In his book, written three years age
lin his Introductory reparks), he says
81 anticipate still greater result.
from my efforts to demonstrate The
truth Of my lifelong claim that cleo.
tricity is the basis of all animal vi
tally and without it we could no
live"
In another part of his book DR.. Nc
LaughIin gives more comprehensive
solution Of the heat problem than tina
advanced by Professor Loeb. DR.. Nc
Laughlin says:
''The food that we eat is treate,
as fuel by the stomach, just as is tn
coal in. furnace. The chemical &C
ton which is produced upon the foo
by the. acids and juices Of the stom
ach burns the food and causes a car
bonic heat. This heat is electricity
and it is forced into the nerves an
vital organs and is their life"
Further, DR.. Mclaughlin says
'The electrical heat generated b
the consumption OF our foo
should keep healthy every vital orga
of the body. Debility OF the vital or
gans arise when the waste is create
than the repair-when the stomac
is not able to generate sufficient cleo
trical heat to supply the demands o
nature.
''This excessive waste is due t,
overtaxation of the vital forces b,
hard work mentally, grief or worry
extra physical exertion, severe fever
such as typhoid or malaria, whic]
drain away the vitality and leave tn
system debilitated.''
Now here is where DR.. McLaughlil
passes beyond the period covered b
Prof Loeb and shows how this vita
electricity, which is the basis of life
may be replaced in the body when los
by the causes producing debility.
He says: when the stomach is no
able to generate sufficient Of thi
energy to supply the demands of tn
vital organs the natural result is ,

Then an artificial agent must be uset
