His Electrical Methods.

Diseases of the kidneys, like
Bright's disease, in a great many
eases, depend upon a disturbance in
the blood vessels. When the human
body ages the blood vessels become
hard and lose their elastic properties.
The blood pressure rises and, in con-
sequence, albumen is frequently found
in the urine. Later on, often. the
blood vessels rupture in the brain
and the patient has an apoplectic
stroke.
Medicines have been found almost
useless in such conditions, as the great
many deaths from Bright's disease
shows.
The discovery of the great French
scientist, Professor D'Arsonval, in
Paris, has however, given to the really
scientific men of the medical profess
sion a means of saving many such
patients who, under treatments with
medicine only, would be doomed to
death.
D.'Arsonval took up the invention
of Tesla of electric currents which
alternate their direction with neon.

Tesla and D'Arsonval currents can
be applied to the human body in such
large voltage and quantities. Hun

nous speed of alienation. These cur
rents have the faculty of reducing and
the blood pressure and thus
save many patients from death by
Bright's disease and apopletic stroke.
In diseases of the bladder sinus
