How Drugs Cause Disease
"Drug medicine do but cure one disease br producing another."
Martln Payne, Professor In New York University Medlcsl college.
-Dr.
That la why men who dope them
selves with doctors' concoctions and
other nerve wrecking dope never get
well. Dr. Soakem sella you a lot of
nauseating drug for the cure of
aome acute disease. You fill your
poor stomach with that stuff, and
the first thing you know you have
developed a case of chronic stomach
trouble, heart, kidney or liver dis
ease, or a serious derangement of
the bowels.
You should remember when you
take poisonous drugs Into the stom
ach that every vital organ will be
affected by that poison. The stom
ach suffers roost of all, for it get
the full force of the poison. Drugs
have killed many people who would
have recovered If left to nature.
When nature can't cure It la be
cause she needs help, something
that gives strength, nourishment
and vitality to ths body. Drug s don't
help nature; Instead of building up,
they tear down. What nature needs
Is electricity, but It must be applied
a certain way to get good results.
My way Is the best way of apply
ing electricity. It's the only method
that has proven successful. I've had
20 years' experience In t. eating dis
ease with electriolty and I know
more about applying this force than
any other doctor on earth. My Electro-Vigor
Is the result of this $0
years' experience.
Electro-Vigor Is a dry cell body
batterv that sends a soothing, glow
ing current of electricity Into your
nerves and vitals while you sleeD.
It doe not shock or blister all you
fee1! U a gentle warmth that Imparts
new energy to every organ.
Electro-Vigor makes Its own power,
therefore It never require charging.
It is not an electric belt.
My health has Improved very much
under the use of Electro-Vigor. The
backache and diarrhoea are cured,
and I am feeling better generally
than I have for years past I am an
