The Effect of Electric Treatment Upon
School Children.

From Cosmos. LElectricien and other sources
the following data have been secured bearing upon
experiments conducted for a number of years past in
Stockholm. in accordance with suggestions made by
Prof. Svante Urhentius. with the object of determin.
ing whether or not electricity affects advantageously
the development of the human body. Two groups of
nifty children each were carefully selected so that
the Two groups were. as nearly as possible. absolute

Why Use a Body Battery?

II YOU have a pain or an ailn-ent OF any kind.
you don't want to fool yourself into the belief that
you are getting well when you are not. That's all
you do when You dose yourself with drugs.
1t is easy enough to stop a pain by Supplying
the nerves with poisonous dope. but the pain viii

force a weak organ TO act by giving IL a powerful
stimulant. but YOU can't restore its natural strength
that way. and 1t will probably be weaker than ever
when the drug stops working.
That is why temporary relief is dangerous.
Drugs do not remove the cause of disease. and every
minute that they give relief the disease is getting a
trmer hold upon your system. As long as the cause
remains the trouble stays there. and the only way TO
get rid of il is to assist nature. Nature wanIs
strength. vitality. power to fight disease and drive
II out. not poisons which only make il worse. Isn't
this sound logic?
Electricity is natures medicine. and the proper
us" OF II will. In my opinion, restore you to perfect
health.
Disease results when you break natures laws.
II you continually oyerwork the stomach YOU viii
have stomach trouble. II you abuse any organ of
your body you must suffer from IL afterward. Then
the real cause OF disease Is due to the weakness or
inactivity of some part of the body machinery. The
reason any organ breaks down or fails To work prop
erly is because 1t has not enough vitality TO with
stand the strain when IL is overtaxed. The vitality
Is nothing more than electricity. the motive power
OF the human body. Now. to overcome the trouble
you must renew the vitality or electricity of the part
that causes the trouble. When this Is done the dis.
ease cannot exist, for the cause is removed. This is
my theory In a nutshell.

That the human body is electrical Is no longer
n mere theory among scientists and up-todate ply
sicians. II is generally conceded TO be an abso-
Lutte fact.
Professor Edgar l. Larkin. discussing the new
physiology. writes as follows:
"A man. brain and body. is n battery. and nerves
correspond to wires. IL Is now certain that trans
mission OF sensation over them is electric. Nerves
have been cut and n g-alvonometcr inserted. The
needle moved. proving that nerve power Is electric.
The human system il an electro-chemic battery and
the life principle Is electrical The electric age Is
here. Drugs are hard hit on all sides. and an in
telligent physician tells me he has almost entirely
stopped their use. The word health now means a
normal supply of electricity in the body and the
word disease means an insufficency Of that power.
"Dr. Albert J. Atkins. the eminent California
scientist. is still at work proving that every prin-
ciple in what we call our electrical science is mere
~ borrowed from the human body. We propel rail
road trains and automobiles by means of electricity
and think IL wonderful. but the human dynamo has
and almost absolute safety in either walking or
running, and now DIR. Atkins shows us that the mil
lionaire in his automobile and the hobo on foot are
alike carried forward by electrical force.
with a mans stomach as the only electric bat
terry. Drs. Albert j. Atkins and +. j.. Lewis recently
charged an ordinary telephone apparatus SO that 1t
conveyed sound says a San Francisco morning
paper.
ut demonstrates that the human body is an
electric battery.
THE experiment consists in the swallowing of
two platinum electrodes. so that they touched the
walls of the living stomach.
by means of copper wires the electrodes were
connected with a telephone and a microphone. a SEN
sitive instrument which greatly intensihes sound.
There was absolutely no mechanical or chemi-
cal battery IN the circuit. yet the moment the cleo
trodes were swallowed sufficiently TO touch the
walls OF the stomach. human electricity flowed over
the wires. rendering audible sounds. The electric
charge measured from seven to eight units on a
western ga~lvonometer."

Electricity to Supersede Drugs.

maintain that electricity is the power which
runs the human body-the force that keeps the heart
going. the blood circulating and the various organs
performing their functions like SO many machines.
| claim that electricity works the miracle Of diges-
ton and assimilation and converts the food into
blood and bone. tissue and muscle and supplies the
brain with power to think.
have had my theories confirmed by some OF the
worlds most learned scientists and today the use of
electricity as a curative agent is spreading TO every
corner of the civilized world.
While others were Specializing and arguing over
the merits 1f electric treatment. | have gone ahead
achieving results. and ! can point with pride to men
and women in all walks of life who say they regained
their health and strength through the use OF my Elec-
trio Body Battery.
Before ] talk further regarding the use OF my
appliance you must understand my claim, that tn.
human body is an electric organism. deriving its mo-
tive power from the digestion of food in the stom.
ach. This electric force generated in the stomach
Is taken up by the nerves and convened 10 the diner.
ent organs OF the body, and is their life. So long as
there is sufficient electric energy to satisfy the de-
mands OF nature the vital organs perform their reg
ular functions properly. but just As soon as the nat.
urai electric force Is overtaxed in any way the Or
gans become weak and inactive and sickness or dis.
ease is the result Now. you can't cure the trouble
until you restore the lost force. Nature must have
more electricity. or vitality. as it is termed by medi.
cal men. In the anng part. You cannot renew this
force by dosing the stomach with poisonous drugs
which only help to drain away the vitality that YOU
have. When every organ of the body has all the
motive power-electricity it needs weakness and
disease should not exist.
Now the purpose of my invention is to restore
This electric force in a natural. scientific way. When
~ 9'onaoh II uhdoie 10 supply the demands of the
Vltal organs YOU must assist nature by filling your
nerves with galvanic electricity.
My appliance is a generator of a powerful but
soothing current Of electricity. worn about the body
while you sleep. IL sends a subtle stream of electric
life coursing through the nerves and yitals for hours
at n time. Its touch is gentle. without sting or burn.
There Is no shock. All you feel is a glowing warmth.
Electricity fills the nerve cells with new life. II
drives out pains and aches. builds up vitality and
strength and overcomes permanently such troubles
as lumbago. nervousness. rheumatism. insomnia.
many female complaints. varicose veins. weakness of
any kind and all stomach. kidney, liver or bowel dis.
orders. This is my claim.
