ELECTRICITY P0NCE'S FOUNT
French Professor Declares Perpetual
Health Is Possible by Baths
In Ethereal "Juice"

Special Cable to The Herald.
PARIS, Jan. 6.-"Provided this cleo
trical cleansing is followed by an aux
iliary treatment in expelling from our
bodies the morbid waste caused by elec-
tricity there is no longer any internal
reason for growing old or even dying"
This Is the promise held out by the
Matin after lengthy explanation of
Prof. d'Arsonvals high frequency cur
rent electric treatment.
The discoverer, who is one of the most
eminent members of the Academy of
Sciences, says the majority of persons
die of arterio-sclerosis. He uses a
sphygometer to measure the tension of
the blood in the arteries. If the mer-
curry of this instrument marks fifteen
or sixteen centimeters 1t shows a nor
NAL tension. If the tension is higher or
lower Prof. d'Arsonval states that six
baths of high frequency current bring
it to the normal, where 1t will remain
and all danger of arterio- -sclerosis will
be removed.
These baths. of Ave to ten minutes
each, may be taken three times a week.
They give the patient absolutely no
sensation.
II only remains to find method of
checkmating the microbes from without
and the Matin believes we possess the
means of perpetual health.
