EVERY MAN HIS own
BATTERY, IS DISCOVERY
Or. j. E. SiebeI Tells Scientists
Human Body Can Make Its
Own Electricity.

Chicago, Special: Discovery of q
method for the generation of energy
within the human body itself-the e
est approach to the secret of life yet
achieved in the triumph OF science
was announced to the American Asso-
citation for the Advancement OF Sci
ence by DR.. j. T.. Siebel, a Chicago ply
stefan. DR.. Siebel's discovery ranks
among scientific men with the successes
of Edison, Marconi and Roentgen and
deals with the same principle-electrlc-
ity.
Experiments conducted for years, DR..
Siebel announced, have brought perfect
demonstration of the theory that cleo
tricity, stored up in the muscular struc-
ture of the human frame can be re-
leased and made to do work. h work
is the prolongation OF life through the
additional vitality supplied TO the hu-
man body working as 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 in
the miniature but numerous batteries
that comprise the muscular structure OF
the human frame The attention of
scientific men was attracted to this
theory, which was the result OF many
years OF study and careful experiment
by DR.. Siebel. At the time there was
only one link missing to make the
the blood, oxyhemoglobin. would not
yield to the electric force generated in
the miniature batteries of the body.
Has M ade Many Experiments.
During the last year DR.. Siebel has
busted himself with experiments along
his line and the announcement n
demonstration of his success, made in
his 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.
DIR. Siebel has succeeded in the con-
struction of batteries on a working
scale, In which the nutritive combust-
ibles 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
we'll as without 1t, through the onver-
sion of nutrient matter into cleo
tricity.
Another consideration which makes
the Siebel discovery the more pertinent
to everyday life is the act 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 his solution
of the secret Of life.
Alkaline c~arbonateS. especially bicar-
Donates, hat 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 It to the combustible or
nutrient material. but at the same time
and by the same action convert the
oxygen so transferred into an active
or ozoniZed condition.
