Before we talk further regarding the use of our appliance you must understand, that the human body Js an' electrlo organism, deriving its. motive power. from the digestion of food in the stomach. This electrlo force generated, in the , stomach la taken up ; by the nerves and conveyed to the different organs of the body and Is their life.' So long as there is sufficient electrlo energy to satisfy the demands of nature the vital organs- perform their regular functions properly, but Just as soon as the natural electrlo force is-overtaxed Jin any way the organs become weak and inac tive, 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, or vitality,, as it is termed by ' medical men, In the ailing part. You canno renew this tprce ; by doslng the ; stomncjj with polsdnousf drugs, which1 only help to dram away the vitality that you have. When every organ of the body has all . the motive power electricity it needs, weakness and disease cannot exist - Now, the purpose of our Invention, Electra-Vlta, Is to restore this electrlo force In a natural, scientific way.. When 'the stomach is unable to supply the de' mands of the vital organs you must assist nature 'by filling your nerves with galvanic electricity, f Electra-Vita- Is a generator of a powerful but sooth ing current of electricity, worn about the -body while you sleep. It sends a subtle stream of electric life coursing through the nerves and vitals for hours at a time. Its touah is gentle, without sting or burn. There is no shock. All you feel is a glowing warmth. Electra-Vita fills the nerve cells with new-life. It drives out pains . and aches, builds op vitality and strength and cures to stay cured all such troubles as lumbago, nervousness, rheumatism, insomnia, female complaints, varicose veins, weakness of any kind and all stomaclvldney, . liver or bowel disorders. ; The Product of Experience 'We have devoted years to the perfection of our ap pliance. "We hav removed defects as fast as they appeared in actual use and have supplied new features from time to time, so that Electra-Vita is in a class by itself. " , . . . Electra-Vita makes Its own power; therefore It re quires no charging. It is equipped with special dry' cells, which are longer lived, smaller and more, power ful than any other dry "battery," The current can be regulated to any degree of strength by the pressure of a finger upon the rheostat. f-M3ompared-with-Electra-Vita all-other electrlo body appliances are inventions of the blacksmith's hammer. It is not upon this point however, that our suc cess has been founded. Our Immense business Is due to our knowledge of the effect of electricity upon the ailments treated, and the best way to obtain that effeot ' We study the case of every sufferer who comes to us and direct the application of our appliance t0 suit the demands of each particular case. When you con sider that electricity is life to the organs into which Electra-Vlta sends it,-you can see how we get our ret suits. Our success Is due to the cures effected by our appliance..- If it did, not cure, our business would have died out long ago. . .... ., .When we say, that Etectra-Vlta cures we don't ask you to accept our "word alone as evidence.

'.' ' "For some fifteen years previous to ,the time that your eleotrleal body appliance. Was brought to my notice I had been a sufferer from the most aggravated form of stomach trouble, and constipation. This diges tive complication brought its natural result a gen erally debilitated state f (he whole system. In my eagerness to get relief I trle4 . every medicine for the stomach trouble, and the constipation was so stubborn that none J9f"u'ri''Ti4H and ' remedies jhat I could get had the least effect I can readily say that one week's use of Electra-Vlta did more, for me -than I had ever hoped for; the fifteen -years i spent lw try ing other' things was wasted time,; but I am so grate ful for my, discovery Of the proper treatment at last that I' do not hesitate to recommend it to any sufferer similarly afflicted," - Mr. J. P. Silva, Hayward, Cal.. says: ' v ."It. is with, the greatest pleasure that I acknowl edge the worth of and benefit received from your Electra-Vlta in my own and Mrs. Bilva's condition.

I suffered from, varloose veins and rup ture, and must say that Ham perfectly satisfied with the results of the treatment" Electricity Is Nature's Medicine .... .'- -.i -. Prof. Andrew MacConnell, president of the Bo- ciety of Universal Science, in a recent essay, made this statement: "The only difference between a well man and an Invalid Is that the invalid is not producing enough electrlo power to run the functions of his body and keep the vital organs up to the necessities of life. "With some two hundred scientlf io , experiments frorn recognised scientists, it has been conclusively proved that this life power is electricity: that by understanding the laws governing the production and control of electricity in life, any human can cure himself, in a few weeks, can increase his work ing capacity, can increase his vitality to the point of having an overflow of happiness and Joy, and -also that any person feebt from age may in the same way relnvlgorate himself. V How the Hervons Sys tem Conveys Electricity to All Parts of the ody, Telephealaa- With Pswer FsrsJahed By tke Hiunam Stomsck. "When one falls into any form of disease be simply does not produce as much electricity. in his body as when well.- We see, too, that age Is Just like a chronic disease, that one begins from ignorance of the laws of electrlo production to gradually decrease his gener ation of electricity until he finally reaches' the point where he does not produce enough to "keep his vital organs running. This means death. The same amount of electricity in a man of 70 would make the same power as the same amount of electricity In a man of SO. ThU proves the prolonging of life a sclentiflo matter of keeping the production of electricity up to the normal needs of the body." The Danger ine Drugs .- Many people believr that wBeif a druf l yes relief K'is tlolng ood That's a big mistake. Drugs can only give temporary . relief, and ' it Is always at the expense of the nerves and vital organs. If" you have a pain or. an ailment of any kind, vou don't want to fool yourself Into the belief that you- are getting wen wnen you are not That's all you do when you doss yourself wjtlji drugs. ' It "Is easy enough- to Hop a pain by stupefying the Serves with poisonous dope, but the pain will return as soon as tha stupor passes off. You can force a weak organ to act by giving it a powerful stimulant but you can' restore Its natural strength that way. and it will be weaker than ever when the drug stops working. That is why temporary relief ts dangerous. Drugs do not remove the causa of disease, and every minute that they give relief the disease is getting a firmer hold upon your system. As long as the cause re mains the . trouble 'stays there, and the only way to get rid of it Is to assist nature. Nature wants strength, vitality, power to fight disease and drive it out, not poisons which only make it worse. , Electrlclty is nature's medlcinet and the proper use of it will restore you . to perfect health. , , Disease always results when you break nature's laws. If you continually overwork the stomach you will have stomach trouble. If you abuse any organ of your body you must suffer for it afterward. Theri the real cause of disease is due to the weakness or Inactivity of some part of the body machinery. The reason any organ breaks down or falls to work prop erly !s because it has not enough vitality to withstand the strain when it Is overtaxed. This vitality is noth ing more than electricity, the motive power of the human body. Now, to- cure the disease you must re new the vitality .or electricity of the part that causes' the trouble. When this Is done the disease .cannot exist, for the cause is removed. ; , . ..... I V .I- .' L. 1 Electricity for Weak Nerves A great many people-suffer from ailments caused by weak, impoverished nerves,, and try to cure these troubles by dosing their stomachs with drugs.

Drugs are poi sons, and poisons wreck the nerves. . If you are weak, run down, nervous and unam bitious: if you suffer fre quent headaches and have spells of jdeepondency, It means that your nerves are starving for new energy, electricity. That's all they need, and nothing else will restore them. Eleotra - Vita saturates the nerves and vitals with electrlo life while you sleep. It builds up strength and vitality In every weak ened organ and drives out pains and aches. If there was any nour ishment in drug's, they might do some good, but you know there is not Drugs are drugs, stimu lants, narcotics, antidotes, poisons, not food.. Elec trlclty Is nerve food nerve life. It soaks into the nerves and is taken up by them Just as a sponge absorbs water.. It , nourishes and vitalises the parts which drugs cannot reach. -,. . Every dose of drugs that you put into your stom ach weakens your nerves. Every time you kill a, pain or an ache, by stupefying the nerves with poisonous drugs, you are hurting them, and any one can see 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 this urlo acid and drive it out of your sys tem that's electricity. It soaks into every vein and tissue of the body and drives the poisonous matter through the circulation, back to the kidneys, which flltesthe blood of all impurities.

Men Made Young at Sixty There Is no excuse for men being old at sixty, com plaining about pains In the back, stiffness in ' the shoulders and lesrs, that "tirefl feeling," nervousness, indigestion, constipation and failure of vitality. It should not be. Nature started you with a constitution . that ought to have held good until you are eighty, and you ought to feel like a boy now. But vou have over done some things and wanted your vitality. You still have the constitution, but lack the force. That is electricity, and. Electra -Vita will rejttore It. . Look at the men who have used Electra-Vtta and you will see men of force, men of power and confl uence, men who respect themselves and are respected and admired by their fellow men. Wouldn't you like to be the man you were a few years ago; to have the same ambitious spirit, the strength and vitality that you used to possess? Wouldn't you like to be. free from pains and aches, and to feel that you are the equal in strength of any man your age? -You can be. All that you lack is vitality new life. Tou are like an engino without steam you haven't the motive power to keep the machinery of your boflv worklns properly. Anything that will restore your "steam" will mik a new man of you. Drugs have been tried and have failed. You know thatr- Electra-Vlta will not fail; it Is electricity, and "electricity in life." That Is what you require, and the proper use of this grand appliance will give ypu health and happiness.. Women Saved From Dangerous Operations A4arge r?pntaffe of " women'a-lmcats,sj;a-.

Human Electricity. their proper funotions, inactivity and disease result Electra-Vita renews the activity of the weak or gans and builds up vitality and strength where It la needed by fnfuslng the body with a glowing current of electrlo life. A patient asked the other day why it Is that faradta batteries and static machines do not give stich results as Electra-Vlta. . That's because you can't stand the treatment for, more than a few minutes at; a 'time. A nervous per- . son can't endure It that long on account of the 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 syBtem is different Electra-Vlta pumps the current into the body for six or eight hours every day or night, usually while the patient sleeps. The delicate nerves are not jarred or shocked by this current, as it goes in them Just Jfke a drlzzlinff rain saturates a newly ploughed fiejd. They absorb it drink it in, and as It is their life, 'they grow strong with it Poor digestion. Inactive liver, constipation, sluggish . heart, slow thinking, dormant energy" and lasiness ars all due to lack of electricity. Understand that elec tricity is the motive power of the human machine, the. power that keeps the organs active, and you will see what we mean. In such cases you will see how Electra Vlta will pump action into the body.. It renews the electric life and transforms the sluggard tnto ttundls of vigorous energy. Because you have experimented with faradlo , bat terles or . taken electrlo treatment from physicians without 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 la Inconvenient and expensive. Electra-Vtta can be used all day Or all night, without Interfering with ' your work or rest Prejudice Against Advertised Treatments There Is a whole lot of prejudice against advertised remedies, due no doubt to the large number of quacks and schemers that have foisted worthless treatments oa the publlo during the last few years. If it were not for this prejudice we would not be able to handle all the business that would come to us. The many fake electrlo belts and so-called "vitallsers" advertised by charlatans have made every one skeptical! but we know that we have a good thing, and we'll hammer away until everybody knows it Any organ of the body, any Dart that lacks the naeea- I .wrrJltsJltr jo. So Its work as nature intended, can be restored by this electrlo treatment It gives strength; It makes the blood rich and warm; it vitalizes the nerves and puts "vim into the brain and muscles; it Just makes a good man out Of a bad one in every way. Electra-Vlta cures rheumatism in its worst forms. It cures, pains .and aches, .weak nerves, general debil ity and any other trouble which can b cured by re storing the life force. , , t , No matter where you live, you can use Electra-Vlta as successfully as if you were here in our of fie.
