MODERN METHODS

TIE Elecro-Medical Doctors. as the
name implies. is an association OF e1.
pert medical specialists and electro
therapists who have organized a new
Scnooi or medicine. a new and more
positive system Of treating human all
htentS. tor centuries the world has
oecn full Of different cults" and
iSmS IN medicine: we have had the
pia root and herb Doctor" with his
E!iler pouons; the Allopatha with
pms ana quinlne In heroic doses; the
f7oihropath with his trilurauons and
innnnlleSlmal doses; the Eclectic, the
| Ua'eoPatn; We were doctored by heat,
Wy elPc1ricity; by baths at springs and
ny multitude Of men and methods.
Some Of the patients were cured, some
! lied VINO should have been cured. II
WAS impossible for the average per-
sou 10 say which method of treating
diseases was the best and the phy5;-
Clans OF Tie various schools were so
o'aSrn that they could see good only
! IN Their own methods Of treating dis
eases; all others were necessarily bad.
EYldfn'ly there was some guod in all
OIL them for they all cured some cases:
also there Is bal in all for all fail at
I times and allow misery to remain and
deatF TO come when cure should
! have been effected.
A tremendous stride forward was
made when the new system Of t-aat-
mcnl Of the Electro Medical Doctors
WAS formed. The founders o: the new
! system af treatment consisted OF spe-
cialsts from the various schools Of
| Observation-Disclosures. Homeopaths, Allo-
! paths, regulars and irregulars, VINO
! dropped their personal prejudices and
! formed a now system OF treatment
! thai embraced all the good points Of
the Old methods and left out the bad.
! The result OF he efforts OF these spe-
| clalists Of the various schools IS the
wonderful system OF treatment now
used by the ElrctroMrdicaI Doctors.
I All this was not accomplished in a
day or a week. but has taken years OF
! patient work by these specialists IN
their various Offices. Homaopaths,
| Allopaths, working side by side, each
throwing away his old ideas when he
! WAS convinced there was something
better, until 1T last out OF the old
chaos and confusion came the new
and moG"rn system as Is now used by
, the E1ectro-Mrdical Doctors.
The loss 10 these specialists was
great. not only by their labor Of form.
! ing Il new system OF treatment, but
! also In the effect il cost them to liz,
more their pride in the various schools
in which they were educated. But
their reward has been great. for they
have seen health and happiness re.
| stored TO hundreds and thousands pro-
nounced incurable by old methods.
