Electro Doctors Now

While there is no sensation of the
high voltage current going through
the body. the patient may become
aware Of the force in his system by
the doctor touching him and drawing
out string of sparks from any part
Of the body or igniting sheet Of pa
per from the body or even Illuminating
an electric globe whilst the patient
holds the globe. All the time the
patient feels nothing.
The effects of electrical treatments
are marvelously rapid. Relief can be
given on one or more treatments
whilst often cure is accomplished In
the milder cases in the same time.
No force is so uniformly potent in
relieving and eliminating human ills
as electricity in the hands of experts
who understand the use of the cur
