when poor man gets sick he does
the same way, but he soon gets tired
of the doctor bills, and takes his case
in his own hands and comes 10 me- l
cure him with Electricity, and that IS
why my patients are usually poor men,
Rich mems doctors will not let them
come to me.
You cannot possibly estimate the
true import of this discovery of Pro-
lessor Loeb" said DR.. Mclaughlin. 1T
means more happiness to the civilized
race than has followed any discovery
for years. 1t will bring about the gem
eraI recognition of the great possibili-
ties which exist in the application of
electricity for the preservation of the
vigor of youth.
Il have for years cOntended that old
age was nothing but the freezing of the
blood when there was no longer suff1-
cient vital heat in the body to keep the
blood warm and the organs active. 1
have said that years did not cause de-
cay, and proven it by citing cases
where some men have been made vigor-
Gus under my rejuvenating treatment
at So while you have examples ali
about you of men who are old and de-
crepit at so.
Now Professor Loeb says that the
animal heat is Electricity. That / know
to be true We get that heat from the
chemical action of the acids and juices
Of the stomach upon our food. That is
combustion. This combustion produces
fes
Electricity That is the basis of life
in every vital organ. AS long as the
stomach is able to generate enough of
this heat to replenish the wear and tear
upon our vital energies we are strong
and active. 1t is when the stomach
finds the strain too heavy that we grow
old and begin to decay.
An old fellow, a patient of two years
previous, asked me to have his belt
overhauled. as he wished to put it on
again. / reminded him that he had re-
ported himself as cured two years be-
fore, and did not see the need of the
belt now. Precaution,' said he. was
cured two years ago, strong and sound
but I am Il years of age, and am not
as well able to stand knocking about
as was in my youth. and wear the
belt occasionally, not because of pres
ent need, but just so that / will have
strength to spare in case of demand.
If you are riding bicycle on level
ground and see a hill before you, what
do you do? Put on more steam, Ell? I
am getting older every day, and 1 need
more steam. That is why l wear my
belt
This is upon the same principle that
an engine pulls train of cars uphill.
On level road it goes easily. but when
1t goes uphill the strain is heavy. and
Your engine, making power from burn
ing coal, just as your stomach makes
It from burning your food, is taxed be-
yond its limit, is unable to go farther.
and, exhausting all its steam in the
effort. breaks down.
THE human body is just like that en-
CINE. 1t breaks down when the physical
energy is overtaxed That energy is
electricity. 1 have here a means of re-
plenishing the electricity of the BODY.

generate sufficient energy to supply the
demands made by the vital organs.
