If I wanted to determine, the

Briefly stated, this Electronic
Theory" fa. that all matter isl:pri
marily composed of electrons, and
that the variety of matter is due
to the particular grouping of elec
trons and their vibratory rate. So
much is; I believe, disputed by no

Abramsl kodng a step farther;
says: ; "That linthe jhuman body

the gratitude and affection of

criticism directed at him fall Into
utter Insignificance? ;

Haying determined, as ! he
claims, the vibratory rates char

Dr. Abrams to discover a method
