BECKWITH’S (FORMERLY PBOF, C. H, BOLLBS') ®Cectbigax. ixsrmjra, ■ iSSO TfALITVT ST«# s *i- , FOB THE TREATMENT OF ACUTE AND CHRONIC DISEASES, Electrical investigation has proved that the human 'lbody acts on the principle of the ealvanicbattery. The train, mucous and serous membranes, the Bhl& f tissues, =am} flalds, constitute, .the negative and positive forces; and every action, whether mental or physical, la the •Jesuit of these antagonistic forces. Digestion, respira tion, circulation, secretion, and excretion are due solely lo Electrical influence. There is a polar attlou esta blished throughout the-nervous Bystem which connects Vrlih every part of the body,establishing and preserving n proper balance of the electrical element, which con stitutes health, and a disturbance of which causes dis ease. There are strictly but two conditions of disease— - one of inflammation, or positive; the other weak debili fated, negalive; and as‘Electricity contains these two • conditions in-the action of the positive and negative currents, all we have to do is to neutralize the disease -and restore proper healthy action. “We do m. t wish to convey the impression that we cure all diseases in all-conditions. We cannot care consump* -lion after th* lungs are all destroyed; yet we doa«sart and are prepared to .practically demonstrate that bun-' ■Sleds of oases of almost every form of chronic disease, Jrononncofi Incurable bj- tie bent medical ' of!the Konntry, have been radically ccbbd, some of them in an incredibly short time, by our Electrical - treatment. Its great superiority over other practices in the cure of disease is also attestedin the fact that, within the past five years, over fourteen thousand patients 'have been treated at this office, suffering from almost ©very form and condition of disetse common to hu- SQ&nity, and in nearly a’l eases a benefit or perfect cure -has been effected. Therefore, with these FACTS to prove our theory and treatment of disease, we are will ing to undertake any of the following diseases, with ©very hope and prospect of Buceess, with very many others not here enumerated: I, Diseases of the Brain and Nervous System ~Epi lepsy, Chorea or .St, Titus* Dance, Paralysis (Hemiple *ia and Paraplegia), Keuralgla,Hysteria, Nervousness, Palpitation of the Heart, Lock-jaw, etc,, etc.; also, .diseases of the Eye and Ear. 9. Organs and Tissues connected with the Digestive 'System.— Sore Throat, Dyapepsia, Diarrhoea, Dysen tery, Obstinate Constipation, Haemorrhoids or Piles, Bilious, Flatulent, and Pa’nter’e Colic, and all affec< Jons of the Liver and Spleen. S. Respiratory Organs.— Catarrh, Cough, Influenza, Asthma (when not caused by organic disease of the heart), Bronchitis, Pleurisy, Pleurodynia 'or Bheuma llsm of the Chest, Consumption in the early stages. 4.

In female diseases, as mentioned in the above list, with others not msn iioned, she has had a large Experience, and can con fidently promise the most gratifying results. TO THE AFFLICTED, The treatment is mild and gentle, producing no shock or unpleasant sensation whatever. Our professional Intercourse with the afflicted will ever be characterized l>y perfect candor and honesty, and those whose com plaints are incnrable, or do not admit of amelioration, Will be frankly told so, and not accepted for treatment.

It Is a hand of bone or Ivory, somewhat roughly carved, taken quite recently from the ruins of ancient Panama. It Is known to some antiquari ans of. New. York, that a few very remarkable an tique works have been discovered In tke long since destroyed portion of .the old town’ above named j works which, show conclusively that art, even In Its state of decadence, was not wholly without Its votaries even in the early day when Panama was destroyed. The hand (of Iron or bone), rough as It is, displays something of the symetry in art that belong to an ago widely separated from the time in which It was created, and shows besides the existence of a culti vation and refinement sot formerly supposed to be long to the days of which It Is a relic. Though not, large in else, and soiled with its long Imprisonment In the earth, this hand is a curiosity which would delight the heart of an antiquary. The present owner, we understand, Intends to present It to the Sanitary Pair, soon to bo opened in Chicago. It la a valuable contribution, and must attract more than, a little attention from the curious In historical mat ters. ■ ■. .
