WILL DR.. ABRAMSS THEORIES REVO

hammer, he bings 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 percussing q
table and changed from the middle of the table
to spot over one of the legs.
ait is human blood female, says Abrams. In
order to verify it set the rheostat at so and yoa
notice that the dullness disappears. set it back
at 49 and the dulness returns
CHOW we have here a specimen Of womans
blood and without being given any symptoms we
asked to find the disease if there be disease.
We begin with the most common Of all diseases,
that is to say, congenita syphilis. We now set
the rheostat at ST. which is the vibratory rate for
congenita syphilis. If this vibratory rate is pres
ent in the blood, it win come through and manifest
itself upon the body of the subject in whatwe call
the 'dumbbell area, extending the upper por-
ton of the abdomen. Now listen. And the doctor
begins to tap. You hear?' he says. tCongenital
syphilis. We win now determine the strain Ii
it is bovine there will be of dullness here.
He indicates spot above the navel of his subject
Yes, bovine strain. Vaccination, usual! We will
next determine the vrulence of the disease. We
will set this dial of the rheostat at 80 ohms .
guess. 1t comes through, you see. We try IS ohms.
A very case. 81 ohms, SO ohms. At 38
you notice that the duness disappears. We set it
back to 81. 1t comes through at 81. We will now ex-
anime the specimen for tuberculosis. We set the
rheostat at AZ. No reaction. We will try cancer.
so; the dull area should be here. All! You notice?
Unmistakable! To show you the difference, set it
at 40. At 40, you see there is the reaction for
human blood, at this spot by the navel, but re-
action in the area. We set it back at so and
the dullness returns at once.
H.THTE have now to determine the location q
wv the disease. Cerebro-spina? Ina.
should Come through here. No cere-
bro-spinal. Digestive? Yes. Cancer of the d.
gestive tract Where? We try here and here. All,
yes cancer of the pylorus. We will determine the
ohmage. Five ohms? It comes through. Ten
ohms? Again. A very severe Twelve
ohms, yes. 1t has passed the stage where it is
operabe. In case of this sort, gentlemen, we
in position to destroy the malignancy Of the dis
ease, but cannot remove the growth, nor we
correct any structural changes which may have
taken place. This specimen comes from Detroit and
we are asked to telegraph the diagnosis. We tele-
graph that find congental syphilis, 81 ohms,
bovine strain; also of the pylorus, Il ohms.
We prescribe treatment with the oscilloclast at
the rates of 2 and 5. Next specimen"
Thus an ailment is detected and diagnosed
Abrams's "cure" is even simpler than his dag
nosis. A machine called the @osciloclast" (vibra-
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 applca-
TONS depending on the malignancy of the disease
and the power of the curative current, finds, it is
claimed, that he is rid of his ailment.
Abrams's 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 mallet. 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
