ELECTRICITY is LIFE

Electricity is a force in nature,
which scientists have as yet, been
unable TO define. Some have said that
electricity is life. We know that our
bodies are charged with electricity
and in the continuous struggle of the
body against disease, electricity Is
fighting on the eide of health. 1t al

against the abnormal, thus superior
