EDICAL ELECTRICITY. Latest audi Moat Important Dlaaaverlea Iu the Treatment of Chronic , DUeaaea. DE. S. W. SECKWITHS ELECTRICAL INSTITUTE, "o. lf0 WALNUT ST. 1 During onr investigations in the tioattnent of (IW eose in its various forms by the ngchcy of electncity, we have obtained very many valuable and slartllnx tacts, which, added to the previous though limited intormation, possessed by other and loss fortunate operators, placo us bevond all previous knowledge of this mysterious agent. Luring the course of our practice we have treated and cured, throaeh the knowledge thus trained, many thousands, and by means of our new discoveries have established our selves as the most successful Medical Eleotrioiana in this country or Europe, as the long list ot relerencen at our office can testily. Electrical investigation has proved that the human body acts on the principle of the ira'ranlo battory. Tbe brain, mucous and serous membrane 1, the akin. tissue!1, and fluids constitute the negative and posi tive lorces, and every action, v. hcther mental or pliyical, Is thoresult of these antagonistic force. Digestion, reepltation, circulation, secretion, and excretion are dne solely to electrical influence. There is a polar action established throughout the nervous system which connects with every part of the body, establishing and preserving a proper balance of the elcctrlcalelement which constitute health, and a disturbance of which causes disease. There are strictly but two conditions of disease ono of inflammation, or positive; tbe other weak, debilitated, negative and as electricity contain these two conditions in the action of tho positive and negative currents, all we have to do is t neutralize the disease aud restore proper, healthy action.. Among tho chronic diseaos in which elcotricltr lias been, and is daily being; by our agonoy, of th greatest utility, a oure being; rapidly ellectod alter tho failure of all other means, are: 1. Kpflepsy, Chorea, or St. Vitus' Dance, Faraly. sis (llemplcKia), Aourulgia, Hysteria, Mtrvousuesei, palpitation of the Heart, Lockjaw, etc. 2. Sore Tnroat, Dyspepsia, Diarrheas, Dysentery. Obstinate Constipation, H.emorruoiilos, or files, ldlious, Flatulent, and l'amlcr's Cotio, and all alioo tions of the Liver and -Spleen. 8. Catarrh, Cough, lntlueuza, Asthma (when not caused by organic disease of the heart), lirouchitls. Pleurisy, Pleurodynia, or Rheumatism ot the Chest, Consnmption in the early stages. 1. Gravel, Diabetes, and Kidney Complaints. Impotence) aud Seminal Weakness. The latter complaints never 'ail to yield rapidly lo this tret tnnt. G Rheumatism, Gout, Lumbago, Stiff" Neck, Spinal Curvature, Hip Diseases, Cancers, Tumors (those last named always cured wituout, pain, or plasters in any iorm), 6 Uterus Comp.aints. Involving a mal-posltioa. as I'rolapsus, Autroversion, Retroversion, Inflam mation, Ulceration, ana various other atl'ectiona of the Womb ana Ovaries.
