EVERY MAN HIS OWN
BATTERY, IS DISCOVERY
Or. J. e. SiebeI Tells Scientists
Human Body Can Make It's
Own Electricity.

Chicago, Special: Discovery OF q
method for the generation OF energy
within the human body itself-the near
est approach to the secret OF life yet
achieved In the triumph OF science
was announced to the American Assoc
citation for the Advancement OF Sci
epce by DR.. j.. r. Siebel, a Chicago ply
sician. DR.. Siebel's discovery ranks
among scientific men with the successes
Of Edison, Marconi N Roentgen and
qeafs with the same principle-electric-
lily.
Experiments conducted for years, DR..
Siebel announced, have brought perfect
demonstration of the theory that cleo
trtcity, stored up in the muscular struc-
ture OF the human frame can be re-
leased and made to do work. This work
Is the prolongation OF life through the
additional vitality supplied to the hu-
man body working rs its own electrical
generator.
Nearly a year ago DR.. Siebel an
nounced that nutritive elements, such
as alcohol. sugar, fats, etc, during their
consumption by the human or animal
body, act as generators of electricity I'm
the miniature but numerous batteries
that comprise the muscular structure OF
the human frame. The attention of
scientific men wal attracted to this
theory, which was the result OF many
years Of study and careful experiment
by DIR. Siebel. At the time there was
only one link missing to make the
theoEy perfect. The oxygen carrier Of
the blood, oxyhemoglobin, would not
yield to the electric force generated In
the miniature batteries of the body.
Has Made Many Experiments.
During the last year DR.. Siebel has
busted himself with experiments along
tIfs line and the announcement and
demonstration OF his success, made In
hfa address before the association,
proved to the satisfaction OF scientists
that a new method for the generation
OF energy within the human body itself
has been. produced. .
Or. Siebel has succeeded In the cons
struction of batteries on a working
scale, in which the nutritive combust-
dbIes necessary to form the connection
between the batteries and the system
have been created.
The Importance Of this discovery In
an industrial way comes In the genera
ton OF energy in the human system, as
well as without 1t, through the CONVEX
sion OF nutrient matter into cleo
tricity.
Another consideration which makes
the Sfebel discovery the more pertinent
to everyday life Is the fact that the
oxidizing mediums are common and In
expensive and thus within the grasp OF
that vast body of workers who need
added energy most. OF the combust-
ibles necessary to impart this energy
to be generated within the body itself.
d~enaturized alcohol Is one OF the most
common, while sugars and fats also
play an important part In this solution
OF the secret OF life.
Alkaline ~carbonates, especially bicar-
tbonates, that exist in solution in the
blood, act not only as tranferrers Of
the oxygen necessary to Increased en-
ergy, taking the oxygen from the
oxyhemoglobin OF the blood corpuscles
and conveying 1t to the combustible or
nutrient material, but at the same time
and by the same action convert the
oxygen so transferred into an active
OF ozonized condition.
