WILL DIR. ABRAMSS THEORIES REVO

hammer, he pings to tap. He starts couple of Inches off from the correct spot and you hear slightly resonant sound. He moves his finger and when he comes upon the correct spot you notice difference in the sound-at least you come to no- tice it after you have listened through several sessions of the clinic and your ear has become practsed. The sound is duller-the same differ ence you would notice if you were percussng . table and changed from the middle of the table to spot of the legs.
 "It is human blood, femae,' says Abrams. Tn order to verify it set the rheostat at 50 and you notice that the dullness disappears set it back at 4s and the dulness returns
 "'Now we have here . specimen of womans blood and without being given any symptoms we asked to find the disease if thers be disease. We begin with the most common of all diseases, that is to say congenital syphilis. We set the rheostat at 57, which is the vbratory rate for congenita syphilis If this vibratory rate is pres ent in the blood it will through and manifest itself upon the body of the subject in what call the 'dumbbell area, extending the upper por tion of the abdomen Now listen.' And the doctor begins to tap. You hear!' he says. 'Congenital syphilis. We will determine the strain. If it is bovine, there will be of dulness here He indicates spot above the navel of his subject. Yes, bovine strain Vaccination, as usual! We will next determine the virulence of the disease. We will set this dial of the rheostat at 30 ohms guess. It comes through, you see. We try S5 ohms. very severe 37 ohms, 3S ohms. At 38 you notice that the dullness disappears. We set it back to 37. It comes through at 37. We will anime the specimen for tuberculosis We set the rheostat at 42. No reaction. We will try cancer. 50; the dull area should be here. An! You notice? Unmistakable.

In case of this sort, gentlemen, are in position to destroy the magnancy of the dis ease, but cannot remove the growth, nor correct any structural changes which may have taken place. This specimen comes from Detroit and asked to telegraph the diagnosis. We tele- graph that we find congenital syphilis 37 ohms, bovine strain; also of the pylorus, 12 ohms. We prescribe treatment with the oscilloclast at the rates of ? and B. Next specimen"
 Thus an ailment is detected and diagnosed
 Abrams's "cure" is even simpler than his diag- nosis. A machine called the "oscilloclast" (vbra- tion-breaker), which produces vibratory electric current of the same characteristic rate as that of the disease to be cured, is connected with the af- fected portion of the sufferers anatomy. The pa- tient feels nothing, but after number of applica tions depending the magnancy of the disease and the power of the curatiye current, finds it is claimed that he is rid of his ailment.
 Abramss latest invention is the "oscillophone," which obviates the necessity for using human subject" in locating the disease. This is device containing a large number of differently tuned strings, which tapped by the operator with a small maet- When the string which vibrates in sympathy with the patients disease is tapped it gives off curious high-pitched note.
 Hundreds, possibly thousands, of people assert
