the action of the organs. the basis of life in
the body. Is Electricity, and where it has
been wasted by overwork indiscretions or
disease. it can be replaced by the proper
application.
The DAY of patent medicine is rapidly
passing away. The American people have
been duped by every conceivable nostrum
that could be compounded There are
blood purifiers, liver regulators, and tonics
and restoratives ad nauseam.
People who have squandered fortunes In
search of health and have tried every
medium known. have in the end been will
ing to consider what the electric theory of
disease could do for them. No sooner do
we explain 1t to them than they are aston
shed at the simplicity and the directness
of treatment
They wonder that 1t has never occurred
to them before that disease was but the
result of the disturbance and arrangement
of the vital force. That the only way to
restore an organ of the body to healthy ac-
ton is to bring to that organ the electro
nervous force that shall cause 1T to discharge
its functions without permitting stagnation,
decay and consequent death.
Activity is the law of life.
II you have a complaint that has both
cred you for years, that medicine does not
seem able to cure, and you are still doctor
ing away, going from one doctor to another,
trying patent medicine and then an
other, causing your poor stomach to turn IN
disgust against it all, and are in the same
fix that you were at the start only that you
are certainly worse on account of all this
drug dosing we say if you have done this,
and are sti1l at It, why don't you stop?
Why don't you hesitate before you carry the
dose to your mouth, and think, What is
this stuff what is in it. and what am
taking it for?"
You will find 1t hard to answer these ques-
tions satisfactorily to yourself There are
some eminent men in the medical profession,
however who will answer them for you:
men who have after lifetime spent in the
study of the effect of drugs upon the human
body, left as a legacy to humanity their
conclusion that all drugs are poisons, and
that the taking of them is destructive in
stead of being beneficial to health. Scien-
they tell you that the stuff you are taking
is poison, that it does not cure you because
1t Is not what Nature demands, and that
you are taking it because you have been
told to.
Truly under such conditions, when you
know that you not getting better, it is
time for you to stop and think. First, un-
derstand your conditions. know that Nature
needs assistance; give it to her in natural
manner There is only one way to do that
Electricity.
If the people who know that they are sick
and who are taking drugs with the hope of
a cure would give little study to this sub
1ect they would that the remedy that is
going to cure them is one that gives them
new strength. Electricity does that; drugs
do not. Electricity is a power and gives
power, drugs only stimulate. The use of the
stomach as a channel for the passage of
deleterious "tonics," stimulants and in many
cases, poisonous drugs injuries the mem
branes, ruins the digestive function and
leads finally to permanent debility of the
entire organic structure.
A course of drug dosing is far more ex-
pensive than of Out appliances even though
