Show A NEW THEORY OF CURE oure eatter MATTES AND ELE electricity doctor A grandison grandson hull nail delivered a lecture in the chapel of the university square on the forces of nature and their adoption to the oure cure of disease in this discourse be he advanced the original theory of matter and electricity forming the basis of a anew new system ot medicine as lately test tested edAn la the hospitals of england gland giand and france LECTURE in develop developing ing lug the principles of an agent boundless as ani presenting these as the basis of iu an effective system for for the alleviation of human suffering I 1 feel the difficulty of enforcing the truths of a new and immutable theory of combating those prejudices which successive generations have held as incontrovertible truths which the time honored institutions of ages have in some measure consecrated and wb which ich nothing but a clearer cleverand cler cier erand and ana more efficient system should presume to distrust dl but the progressive spirit of ol the age demands that the mist it if suo such it be which has so long surrounded and obscured the theories and anil practice of medicine deprived them of

matter it adheres or attracts matter only from contact it has a repelling torce farce for matter only when hen acting from it the electricity which forms the current of a battery la is derived principally from the decomposition ot of the metals and fluids forming the battery when a zinc is placed in water electric changes take place new currents are formed between the atoms of zinc and the atoms of oxygen which develop the electricity that maintained their former attractions of atoms of zinc to zinc and the hydrogen to oxygen and new combinations are formed which adnot require so much electrIc electricity ity Its p and a port portion loiX is set freed free frea which passes with the negative el element emerit to the nega negative tite plate of a battery the voltaic battery has a

force or intensity of a battery depend princ principally pally on the polar arrangement of the larger circle but the quantity on the action of f the smaller one probably all batteries give force to electricity derived from other sources than the decomposition of the metal and exciting fluid the distant action of an electrified body b ly which its own charge Is in no degree lessened less enedy Is distinguished by the term induction implying that the electrified body induces electricity in the independent of conduction but the fact Is that induction Is simply electrical transfer by conduction with the varying effects produced by the conductors operated on the great question on what the positive and negative conditions of matter depends 3 has never received that attention which its importance demands du fay advanced the theory that the positive anil anji negative effects arise from two dl distinct kinds of electricity viz vitress ani and resinous we are indebted to franklin for the hypothesis that the positive and negative conditions depend on bodies bodies having noie nole or less electricity than in a natural state the received opinion of the present day Is that there are two distinct kinds of electricity which decompose and neutralize each other I 1 have discovered that these conditions do not depend on tso two kinds of electricity nor merely or on quantity they arise from the attraction of electricity for tor matter mitter and the repulsion of itself when so attracted attract edy edi and they depend not only on difference in quantity but in la intensity and also on difference la a polarity and direction having now advanced a nev net newa theory of electricity and matter and discussed their general principles I 1 now proceed to the application of them as the basis of a new natural and effected system of medicine founded on the laws of nature in supplying this desIdera desideratum I 1 know that 1 run the risk of being thought visionary but as I 1 have
