It is one of the exceptional benefits, at all events, of the medicine which I treat of below, that Electricity cannot be tampered with, can never be adulterated, AND ALWAYS KEEPS ERESH ! I have treated numerous patients who have suffered from Drug disorders. Other practitioners go so far as to contend that dege¬ neration of the blood is caused by the condition of the nerves, as if it was the nervous system which presided over the formation of the entire human structure ! whereas. Anatomy demonstrates that the case is quite the reverse. It is the Blood, and Blood alone, which furnishes all the materials of the human fabric. The first germ of the spinal marrow is to be found in the foetus, only three months after conception, and it grows in exact and simultaneous ratio to the increase and growth of the blood vessels—the primo- genital authors of the nerves, the system of which is as yet scarcely perfected, when the child is born.
