The electric charge measured from 7 to S to on a Weston galvanometer." I' ' Finds New Cure for Appendicitis Dr. Harvey Archibald of New York City has discov-id discov-id that appendicitis yields to the action of electricity tty nearly as mists arc dissipated by the sun. When sease of appendicitis comes into Dr. Archibald's office I. trains the powerfully penetrating electric )upon the aore spot. Right away the swelling goes vn, and the excruciating pain stops short. And after i or six days, "after five or six applications," Dr. Arched Arch-ed says, the cure Is always complete. Electricity the Basis of Human I Vitality . Prof. Jacques Loeb, after ten years of research and perlmcnt, made this, statement! -. "A part of the chemical energy of foodstuffs is ranaformed Into electrical energy, which In turn olves nergy to the muscles and organs of the body. Elec-flclty, Elec-flclty, and not heat, Is tho life of tho body. These llcoverles are fjolng to upset the theorlos of medl-Ine medl-Ine aB administered by the physlclano of today, as t Is nettled that electricity Is tho basis of human d.tallty." (The new cure is nothing more or lew than the process ;bombardlng tho congestion about the appendix with ctrlc rays and a high frequency current. The treat-int treat-int causes the blood to return to the central clroiila-n clroiila-n system, the congestion departs for tho simple reason It the cnus of the congestion has been removed, a Hint's the end of tho appendicitis. !

Wo claim that 'runty works the miracle of digestion and assimilated assimila-ted converts the food Into blood nnd bone, tissue muscle, and supplies the brain with power to think, liavo had our thoorles conrirmed by the world's Jearnud scientists, and today the use of electricity as a curative agent In spreading to every corner of tho civilized world. While others were speculating and arguing over tho merits of electric treatment wo have gone ahead achieving achiev-ing results, and wc can point with pride to men and women wo-men in all tho walks of life who regained their health and strength through the uso of our Electra-Vlta. Before we talk further regarding tho ubc of our appliance ap-pliance you must understand that human body in. an electric elec-tric organism, deriving its motive power from tho digestion diges-tion of food In tho stomach. This electric force generated gener-ated in the stomach Is taken up by tho nerves and convoyed con-voyed to tho different organs of tho body and Is their life. So long aB there Is uufflcicnt electric energy to satfsfy the demands of nature tho vital organs perform their regular functions proporly, but just as soon as the natural electric force Is overtaxed In any way tho organs become weak and Inactive, and sickness or disease Is the result. Now you can't cure the trouble until you restore the lost force. Naturo must have more electricity, elec-tricity, or vitality, as It Is termed by medical men, In tho ailing part. You cannot renew this force by dosing tho stomach with poisonous drugs, which only help to drain away the vitality that you have. When ovary organ of the body hag all the motive- power electricity It needs, weakness and dlseaso -cannot exist. Now, the .purpose of our Invention. Electra-Vlta, Is to restore this electric force in a natural, scientific way. When the stomach is unablo to supply the demands de-mands of the vital organs you must assist, naturo by filling your nerves with galvanic electricity. Electrn-Vlta Is a generator of a powerful bot sooth-lng sooth-lng current of electricity, worn about tho body while you sleep. U sends a subtle stream of electric life coursing through the nerves and vitals for hours at a time. Its touch Is gentle, without sting or burn. There is no shock. All you feel Is a glowing warmth. Electra-Vita fills tho nerve cells with now life. It drives out painr, and aches, builds up vitality and strength and cures to stay cured all such troubles as lumbago, nervousness, rheumatism, Insomnia, female complaint's, varicose veins, weakness of any kind and all stomach, kidney, liver or bowol disorders. The Product of Experience We have devoted years to the perfection to our appliance. ap-pliance. Wc have removed defects as fast as they appeared in actual use and have supplied new features from time to time, so that Electra-Vlta is In a class by itself. Electra-Vlla makes its own power; therefore, It requires re-quires no charging. It is equipped with special dry cells, which are longer lived, smaller and more powerful than any other dry battery. The current can be regulated regu-lated to any degree of strength by the pressure of a finger upon the rheostat. Compared with Electra-Vita all othor electric body appliances are inventions of the blacksmith's hammer. It Is not upon this point, howevor, that our success suc-cess has been founded. Our Immense business Is due to our knowledge of the effect of electricity upon the ailments treated, and tho best way to obtain that effect. Wo study the case of every sufferer who comes to us and direct the application of our appliance lo suit the demands of each particular case. When you consider con-sider that electricity is life to tho organs Into which Electra-Vltn sends It, you can sec how we get our results. re-sults. Our success is duo to the euros effected by our appliance. If it did not cure, our business would have died out long ago. When we say that Electru-Vila cures wc don't ask you to accept our word alono as evidence, Wc can refer you to people who got back their health through tho use of our appliance, and they will tell you what it did for them. Mr. James Donohue, lfiiSA Howard street, San Francisco, Fran-cisco, says: "For Home fifteen years previous to tho time that your electrical body appliance was brought to my notice I had been a surforer from tho most aggrnvatled form of stomach trouble, and constipation. This dlgentlvo complication brought. Its natural resulta generally debilitated de-bilitated state of tho whole system. In my ongorness to get relief I tried every mcdlcino for the stomach trouble, trou-ble, and the constipation was so stubborn that none of tho pills and. remedies that I could get had tho least offect, I can readily say that one week's uoo of Elcctra-Vlta Elcctra-Vlta did more for me than I had over hoped for; the fifteen years 1 spent in trying other things was wasted time, but I am so grateful for my discovery of tha proper treatment at last that I do not hoeltutc to recommend recom-mend It to any sufferer similarly afflicted." iMr. J. P. Bllva, Hayward, Cal., says: iu "U, w,ih th(L ereatest pleasure that I acknowledge the worth of and benefit received from vour Electra-Vlta In my own and Mrs, BHvr'h condition. The rheumatism and many forms of weakness from which my wife suffered suf-fered yielded so promptly to tho current generated by your appliance that. I decided to use tho Electra-Vlta In an attempt to overcome a very malignant form of stomach stom-ach trouble from which I had suffered. At tho tlmo of commencing tho use of tho appliance I was unable to work and .In a state of rapid docllnc.

I suffered from varicocele and rupture, and must say that I am perfectly satisfied with tho results of tho treatment." Electricity Is Nature's Medicine Prof. Andrew MacConnell, President of the So-I So-I ciety of Universal Scioncc, In a recent cbsq-v, made this statement. "Tho only difference between a wall man and an invalid Is that tho invalid Is not . producing enough electric power to run the functions of his body and keep tho vital organs up to the necessities of life, "With sorno two hundred scientific experiments from recognized scientists, it has been conclusively proved that this llfo power Is electricity; that by understanding un-derstanding tho laws governing the production and J control of electricity In life, any human can euro j himself In a few w'coks, can Increase hlB working capacity, can increase his vitality to the point of having hav-ing an overflow of happiness and joy, and also that any person feeble from ago may in tho same way rcinvlgorato himself.

This means death The same amount of oloc-trlclty oloc-trlclty in a man of 70 woidd make tho same power as tho name amount of electricity in a man of 30. This proves "the prolonging of life a scientific matter of lumping the production of electricity up to tho normal needs of tho body." The Danger in Drugs Many people believe that when a drug .gives relief it i Is doing good. That's a big mistake. Drugs can only ' give temporary relief, and It Is always at tho expense of the nerves and vital organs. If you have a pain or an ailment of any kind, you don't want to fool yourself Into the belief that yon are getting well when you aro not. That's all you do when you dose yourself with drugs. It Is easy enough to stop a pain by stupefying the norves with poisonous dope, but the pain will return as soon as the .stupor passes off. You can force a weak organ to act by giving it a powerful stimulant, but yon can't nistore its natural strength that way, and It will be weaker than ever when tho drug stops working. That Is why temporary relief Ic dangerous. Drugs do not remove tho cause of dlseaso. and every minute that they give rftller tho dlseaue is getting a firmer hold upon your system. As long ns tho cause remains the troublo stays there, and tho only way to get rid of It Is to assist nature. Naturo wants strength, vitality, power to fight disease and drive it out, not poisons which only make it worse. Electricity Is nature's medicine, nnd the proper uso of It will rcstoro you to perfect health, Dlseaso always results whon you break nature's laws, If you continually overwork tho stomach 'you will havo Btomnch trouble. If yon abuse nny rirgan of your body you must suffer for it afterward. Thon the real cause of disease In duo to the weakness or inactivity of some part of tho body machinery. Tho reason any organ breaks down or fails lo work properly is because It has not enough vitality to withstund tho strain when It 1b overtaxed, This vitality is nothing moro than electricity, the motive power of the human body. Now, to cure tho dlseaso you must renew tho vitality or electricity of the part that causes tho trouble. When this "Is done the dlBoasc cannot exist, for the cuuse Is removed. Efectricity for Weak Nerves A great many people suffer from ailments caused by woak, Impoverished nerves, and try to euro theso troubles by dosing their atonmchs with drugs. It Is WW Restoring the Bnoyaael of Yotith by Electric Treat-neat. Treat-neat. Impossible. Drugs are poisons, poi-sons, and poisons wreck tho nerves. If you .aro weak, run down, ervouc nnd unambitious; if you suffer frequent hoadaches and have spoils of despondency, it means that your nerves are starving for new energy, electricity. elec-tricity. That's all they need and nothing else will restore them. Electra-Vlta saturates the nerves nnd vitals with electric Ufa while you sleep. It oudds up strength and vitality in every ev-ery weakened organ nnd drives out pains and aches. If there was any nourishment nourish-ment in drugs, they might do some good, but you know there is not. Drugs aro drugs, stimulants, stimu-lants, narcotics, antidotes, poisons, poi-sons, not food. Elcctrlcltv Is nerve food norve life. It soaks into the nerves and Is taken up by thorn Just as a spongo absorbs ab-sorbs water. It nourishes and vitalizes the parts which drugs cannot roach. Every dose of drugs that you put Into your stomach weakens your nerves. Every time you kill a pain or an ache, by stupefying the nrves"with poisonous drugs, you are hurting them, and any ono can sec that in time, by steady dosing, your nervous system will be completely broken down. You know that rheumatism is caused by uric acid In the blood. There's only one thing on earth that can get at tills urlo acid and drive It out of your system that's electricity. It sonks Into every voin and tissue of tho body and drives tha poisonous matter through tho circulation, cir-culation, back to the kidneys, which filter the blood of all Impurities. Our Eloctra-Vita has cured some or (.lie worst cases of rheumatism after drugs and other methods had failed. Whon electricity goes in the body rheumatism must go out. No pain can exist In a body churged with electric life. You can have no rhcumallBin, no weakness, no Inactive parts because the life generated by this grand force gives health and strength to every organ. tt fVfen Made Young at Sixty There Ih no excuse for men being- old at sixt complaining com-plaining about pains In the back, stiffness in tho shoulders shoul-ders and legs, that "tired feeling," nervousness. Indigestion, Indi-gestion, constipation and failure of vitality. It should not be. Nature started you with a constitution that ought to have held good until you an; eighty, and you ought to feel like a boy now. But you have 'overdone some things and wasted your vitality. Yon still have the constitution, but lack tho forco. That is electricity, and Electra-Vlla will restore It. Look at the men who have used Eloctra-Vita and you will soe men of force, men of power and confidence, men who respect themselves and arc respected and admired ad-mired by tholr fellow mon.' Wouldn't you like in bo tho man you were a few years ago: to have tho unmo ambitious spirit, the strength and vitality thai you used to possess?

Women Saved From Dangerous Operations A largo pcrcontngo of women's ailments aro so perplexing per-plexing that opoiotlons aro often recommended by physicians. phy-sicians. Such operations arc not only dangnrous, but thoy sometimes cause sorloua complications. Thousands of women tun uselessly butchered who could bu cured by Eloctra-Vita. In tho privacy of tholr own homes. In most casus all such women need Is now strength, more vitality and nerve force. When the organs of the body mo denied tho vitality nocessary to porfonn their proper functions, Inactivity and disease result. Hbbm Electricity. Electra-Vita renews the activity of tho weak organs and builds up vitality and strength where it is needed by infusing the body with a glowing current of electric life. A. patient asked the othor day why it Is thajt. faradlc batteries and static machines do not give such results as - Electra-Vita. J That's because, you can't stand tho treatment for moro than a fow minutes at a time, A nervous person can't . endure it that long on account of tho shock. "When a man tries that method and finds that it does not help him he naturally concludes that electricity is no good. Now, our system is different. Electra-Vlta pumps tho' current Into the body for six or olght hours every day or night, usually while the patient slee'ps. The delicate nerves arc not jarred or shocked by this current, as It goes in them, just like a drizzling rain satu-rates satu-rates a newly ploughed field. They absorb it, drink it In,' and an it is their life, they grow Btrong with it. Poor digestion, inactive liver, constipation, sluggish heart, slow thinking, dormant energy and laziness are all duo to lack of electricity. Understand that electricity iSj the motive power of the human machine, tho power thatj keeps the organs active, and you will see what we mean.' In such cases you will see how Electra-Vlta will pump ac-j tlon into the body. It renews the electric life and trans-forms trans-forms the sluggard into a bundle of vigorous energy. Because you have experimented with faradlc batteries 'or taken electric treatment from physicians without being-cured being-cured is no reason why our method should prove a failure. , The doctor's battery can only be applied for a few minutes at a time., and that is not enough to effect a cure. Besides, that method is Inconvenient and expensive. Electra-Vita can be used all day or ail night without Interfering with your work or rest. Prejudice Against Advertised H Treatments H There is a whole lot of prejudico against advertised remedies, due no doubt to the large number of quacks. and schemers that have foisted worthless treatments on the public during the last fow years.
