new USE FOUND
FOR ELECTRICITY
Washington Physician Says that
It's Application Will Remove
Danger of Apoplexy.

"The record shows that a person dies
every eight hours in Washington during
the course OF a year from apopiexy,
Brights disease. or angina pectoris- The
time viii come in the near future when
this deplorabIe record will be regarded as
belonging to a past civilization and deaths
from apoplexy and kindred diseases will
be almost unknown"
This was the statement made last night
by DR.. A X. p. Harvey. OF 1916 street.
In the course of an interesting address
before the Optimist Club OF the Uni
versalist church. DIR. Harvey based his
prediction upon the dicovery Of q French
scientist. DR.. d'Arsonval, that currents
OF electricity sent through the human
body accomplish results heretofore unsus-
pected. DR.. Harvey explained that apo
plexy and Brights disease were caused
by arterio-sclerosis. or hardening OF the
arteries. a condition which places addi-
ttonal burden upon the blood pumping ca
pacity OF the heart As a natural result,
the pressure OF the blood in forcing its
way through the arteries increased TO a
dangerous extent and finally one of the
weaker arteries. generally In the brain.
bursts and the stroke Of apoplexy re-
suits
DR.. Harvey then described most interest
ingly how the dArsonval method Is ap-
piled. The human body is literally saturat-
ed with electricity, the current having the
enormous velocity OF 7OO0o.0 900 vibrations
a second II Is this extreme vibration
which prevents Ill effects, for the high fire.
quency OF the current removes II from
the zone Of sensation Of the nervous sys-
TEN, exactly as there are colors which
are beyond the eye and sounds that can
not be heard. Demonstrations prove that
the electricity follows the blood as being
the best conducted, and that when It
touches the abnormal parts Of the arteries
II restores them to their normal condi-
ton, thus allowing an Increased space for
the blood TO circulate and reducing the
prussure.
DIR. Harvey related several incidents
OF his recent visit to DIR. d'Arsonvars
laboratory in Paris and also gave many
experiences which had come under his
own observation in this city. where the
application OF the Frenchman's discovery
had been most successful. He predicted
that when the method was generally
adopted apoplexy would be almost un-
known, inasmuch as persons with high
blood pressure would be able to restore
their systems 10 normal condition.

REPLIES TO WIFE'S SUIT.
Arthur T. Randall Says Nearly All
of His Salary Went Home.

Arthur T. Randall yesterday filed an
swer TO suit for maintenance brought
by Grace n. Randall saying that prac-
tically all of his salary was expended
about his home for the support of his
wife and her daughter, and that notwith-
standing his strenuous efforts to do so he
was unable to save any portion OF his
income.
Referring TO an alleged contract en-
tered into with his wife. Randall denies
she was compelled by him to agree to
the same: that, on the contrary. the con-
tract was made at her urgent request
and against his wishes. He claims she
wanted this contract made to enable her
to attend a school of elocution in Bos-
ton. which she did against his expressed
wishes. Randall says his wife is a
teacher of elocution in Boston, and earns
sufficient money for her support.
