After 5 years of experimental research by the Electro-Medi-
zeal Therapists, they have decided to open up a department for
diseases of the Rectum. Any sufferer of Piles, whether bleeding
or itching, knows full we'll the hours Of suffering that they have
endured. The loss of weight caused by the bleeding and the severe
itching are bound to undermine the general health and lead up to
serious results. Without the use Of the knife, drugs, injections
and any obsolete appliances the Electro Medical Therapists will
totally remove the Piles without a moments delay from business
and by a safe and painless method
Fistula, the most troublesome Of all Rectal diseases, has com.
pletely baffled the surgeons and physicians. The use of the knife
in Fistula is positively dangerous The Electro-MedicalT herapists
employ a method which is safe, sane and harmless and will abso-
lutely remove all forms of Fistula never to return again. The Elec-
troMedica Therapists time and time again have removed a Fis-
lula and the patient Immediately would put on weght-one case
especially comes to mind of one of our patients, who, after having
his Fistula removed, put on 40 pounds of weight within two weeks.
Rectal Fissures are very troublesome, annoying, and in good
many cases the pain is extremely severe-even to the point Of
a method that will positively and absolutely correct the malady
without causing pain or delay from business Rectal Structures and
other diseases of the rectum respond to natural methods as en-
ployed by the Electro Medical Therapists. The methods employed
by the Electro Medical Therapists have been very successful, and
for this very reason, due to the excessive demands from our numer-
Gus patients for special Rectal treatments, we have opened up this
separate department-which is without doubt the most thoroughly
equipped and the only one of its kind in America today. 1t might
be added that the price of treatment is within reach Of all. Read
the following testimonials, and fhose on file in our office, and be
convinced that we can help you to a speedy, safe, sane and com:
