blood vessel in the brain. causing ;
blood clot in this soft substance. The
nerves taking their origin from tina
particular part of the brain can con
sequently not be excited to cause con
traction of their muscles. and if this
condition continues for long time
the muscles will atrophy and shrink
away, thus making the paralysis per
nenent.
Local paralysis is usually caused by
an accident, causing an injury to the
nerve going to those particular mus.
cles. after it has left the brain.
The effect upon the muscle is the
same as in paralysis caused by blood
eliot in the brain. They atrophy and
shrink away unless forced to contract
by outside means. Medicines taken
into the stomach or used externally
have of course no effect upon the reg
ular contractions of the muscles
neither have manipulations of the
spine that are so much used now by
irregular practitioners.
The only thing that will produce
regular contractions of the muscles
which will keep the muscles alive un-
til the injury to the brain, spinal cord
or nerve has been repaired by time,
is ELECTRICITY.
Three different forms of electric
currents are used for this purpose
according to the time that has elapsed
since the paral ysis began.
Three different forms of apparatus
have to be used accordingly or no
effect is produced, and the specialist
who wants to get results from Lis
treatment, must not only be supplied
with the three different forms of ap-
paratus. but must have many years
experience in their use. But another
thing is necessary if the paralysis is
caused by a blood eliot in the brain or
apoplectic stroke. For this is usually
caused by too high blood pressure.
In such a case the blood pressure
ought to be carefully measured and
then by electric treatment be reduced,
so as to avoid new attack of the
bursting of a blood vessel in the
brain. The cheapest form of an in-
strument to measure the blood pres
sure is built like barometer with
mercury in a glass tube, it allows only
the heart contraction pressure to be
taken. The best and most expensive
form is built like fine watch with
jeweled bearings, depends upon air
pressure and allows the contraction
and dilatation of the heart and the
pulse pressure to be measured. As
DR.. Toel always uses the best ap-
paratus obtainable, this is the form
which he uses.
To reduce the high blood pressure
a very powerful apparatus, entirnlI
different from those used in treatment
of the paralysis. is used which gives
a very high voltage and millions Of
alterations per second. The small
outfits. now so much seen. taking
from one to four amperes of current,
are entirely useless for this purpose,
DR.. Toel's machine. especially built
for this purpose takes up to twelve
amperes of current. The current
when applied to the patient is care
fully measured by an expensive jewel
ed meter.
Neurasthenia is the fashionable di-
sease of the American Nation. The
brain worker. lawyer, banker, specu-
lator or what else he may be, suffers
from it; the society lady who is over
taxed with her social functions is its
victim; even the farmers wife with
the never ceasing grinding toll from
before sunrise till night often breaks
down completely in her nervous sys-
TEN and becomes a complete wreck.
Sleep often becomes impossible and
the few short periods of it do not re-
fresh the body. All the functions of
the body become more or less aflict-
ed and the patient simply wastes
away and finally dies.
Lack of ozone with the subsequent
suhoXidation of the blood allows
poisonous substances to form from
the food taken. which when circulat-
ing in the blood poison the nerve
cells.
Medicines have long ago been
found wanting in this disease. The
So-called rest cure simply prevents
the symptoms showing themselves.
What the body needs in this disease
Is "Ozone.'
The high voltage high alienation
currents as used by DR.. Toel gener-
ate an enormous amount of ozone.
This ozone is formed in many parts
of the body transversed by these
currents. 1t is given off into the air
by the electric apparatus and is in
hailed, being taken up by the blood
in the lungs.
The blood becomes pure again as
the poisonous substances circulating
in IT are destroyed by the ozone, the
nerves get their proper nourishment
and the patient is able to sleep again
without waking up to 10 times a
night The lassitude disappears aud
