' Except during, the freshet ; stags of-

Here's HealtSi; f ot Youl
t 1 --' .... ' ' .-' . . . , -, ... -'' '' ' ,..' ' ' ".' ... . ' . ' -. '. .
To men and women who suffer from chronic sil
ments, stomach and bowel troubles, kidney and liver
complaints, nervous , afflictions, - rheumatism, poor
.circulation,' debility or weakness -of -any kind, -we
offer a cure at a price within the reach of all. We
have no drugs or dope to sell you. The remedy we
I offer is electricity that's naturt's medicine.
A great many sufferers vare continually dosing
their stomachs with poisonous mixtures, which
wreck the nerves and vital organs, when they should
be helping nature cure through the proper applica
tion of electricity.
If any organ of your body-is weak' or Inactive, the
only way to restore' it to a healthy condition is to
restore its strength and energy. Db drugs give
' strength? No J' They tear down instead of building
".up. Electricity is a'builder, not a destroyer; and that
is the reason it cures while drugs only make the(
trouble worse, juectncity is the power that runs the
human1 machine,' the force that gives life to all living
things. H you want to renew the life and energy of
a weak or inactive organ you must .restore electricity
where it is needed. ; Good health means plenty of
electricjty in the, body, disease means the -lack of
electricity. ' '
Electra-Vita applied while you sleep will fill your
nerves and vitals, with a glowing stream of electric
- fire. It will driv out your pains and aches, build
: up your strength and vitality and restore your health
-by" giving to every organ of your body the power to
' eliminate; disease from the system , by the natural
a-t"teroces8.sV::'!:'';'
IecfraVHa is a scientific device for infusing the
body' with a, powerful but soothing current 'of elec
tricity", for hours at a time; without the least shock
or unpleasant sensation, Electra-Vita is not like
electric belts, faradic batteriesand other contrivances
you may have seen or used. It gives a continuous
current without charging. All you have to do Is ad
just it correctly and turn on the power to the proper
degree of strength. It helps nature cure by renewing
.the vitality and energy of-every -weak and Inactive
organ. Where there is plenty of electricity, weakness
and disease cannot exist. . ,
No' matter J how far away you live, you can use
Electra-Vita as successfully as if you were here in
our office. " r , ,
