Introduced into oluch a chamber Is treated
unconsciously for whatever trouble may be

Ilfo farce that Is calculated to build up his
whole system old fortify him against attacks
of whatever sort fro ; . ; within ,
AS A STIMULANT ,
The currents sent through tire body 1n
these devices for treating dlseasa are of
such high voltage , 100,000 or more , that
it Is a wonder how the human body can
endure lhem'slnco the same amount of
trio energy transformed to a lower voltage
would probably prove fatal , and yet the pa-
tlents thus treated experience no iii effects ,
and , are Indeed scarcely conscious of what Is
pasing through them , while Tesla's start-
Iing experiments have shown that a man
may rcce ve mllllons of volts that literally
set his whole body aglow with electric fire
and yet suffer no harm ,
These higk.frcqueney' currents are found
to produce a most stimulating and beneficial
effect upon The nerves of nutrition which
envelop and Peneteato all.tito tissues of the
body , and which , whim they fall to act properly -
erly are responsIBle for many diseases , hke

of malnutrition and a failure in the bodII'

peclally these , currents give most valuable
results by checking the formation of the
baneful uric acid.
One of the most convenient methods of
adminlstering electrlclty , and most valuable

To a person whose nerves have given way

Is nothing moro delightful or soothing than
to receive over the body the cool breeze

a desire for sleep , and would bring relief
to the most stubborn case of insomnia.
Half the Ills of womanhlnd come from
nervousness , which Is but a vague way of
saying tlmt they need life force , nerve
tonic , which Is electrlclty.
And in oases of neuralgia or intense local
pairs of whatever sort , the patient finds
imrneilate relief , besides permanent benefit -
fit , on receiving the flow of current from
one of the high frequency machines devised -
vised for this purpose.
ELECTRICITY AS A MASSEUR.
And as for massage effects , there Is certainly -
tainly nothing that can compare with thin
shocking of the muscles that ensues when
the patient lays this hand on the brass
ball of one of the large static machines ,
such as are used b ) Dr. Wllt'am J , Marlon
of New York , and for ten or fifteen minutes -
utos feels his armsstwltcldng with Involuntary -
untary canlractlonse , ln no wise unpleasant -
ant , which soon send' a gentle warmth over
the whole surface bf 'this body , and produce
a sense of exhilaration that could otherwise
be "produced in adhoaltlty person only by
violent exsrcse ! aids in an Invalid not at
all. More than ono iiraralyzed arm or mom ,
her has been brought back to Its former
usefulness by thesexappllcatlons , and women
whose ordinary vlttllty is so how that they
are always shlvetingrhave been brought Into
a fine glow , as dchkhtful to them as It Is
unfarnlltar ,
One Interesting rppphlcatlon of electricity
In surgery is tln ( telephone bullet probe ,
Invented by Dr. olohn H , Glydner of New
York , and adoptoddln all the hospitals and
arndes of the wobld. In this novel device
use is made oflltlie ordinary telephone
principle , it being Literally true that the
surgeon discovers asbullet imbedded in the
body by hearing it. ( fed the electric bullet
finder been in existence when Garibaldi and
Garfield were shot , It la likely that both of
lheso great lives might have been saved , It
does Its work more 'quickly and easily than
even the Roentgen rays could ,
No battery la used In operating the idle-
phonic bullet tinder , the body of thin patient
himself being made to furnlah the current
necessary for working the telephone sounder ,
Tide is done on the familiar principle that
whenever two metals are placed in a llquld
slightly acidulated , their external ends being
cohiecled by a conductor , an electric current
iii set up between them , passing through
tire liquid and through the circuit outside ,
The human body , with its moist tissues , Is
regarded as the liquid ( a 2 per cent solution
of common salt ) , the lead bullet Imbedded In
the body forme one of tie metal surfaces ,
while an electrode o $ aluminum inserted in
the Patient's mouth forms the other. A
wire connects the aluminum electrodv with
an aluminum-lipped probe of flexible ma
terial , which la introduced into the wound
in the path of the bullet. Within the clrcult
Is a wire leading to the telephone launder ,
made with double helix and exceedingly sen
altive. Tide thci aurghn adjusts to lila
ear whdlo ho probes for the bullet.
Now it becomes plain heel It Is possible
to locate a hidden bullet by hearing , for
no sooner does the almnlnum lip of the
probe come .in contact with the lead of
the bullet than the circuit Is completed ,
the patient's hotly is changed Into a battery -
tery , the liquids of the tissues having a
chemical effect upon the two metals , and
the elechlc current which is set flowing
forthwith acts upon the telephone sounder
in the ordinary way and the surgeon
kr.ows by the sound that his search has
been successful. So long as the probe
touches only the tissue or bone or other
substance o1 the body the clrcult is incomplete -
complete and the telephone sounder remains -
mains mute , but let the two metals corns
together and lnmedlately a distinct and
characteristic buzzing Is heard and continues -
tinues while the contact iii malntalned ,
In cases where there is no open wound ,
but wherq a billet has been Imbedded in
the body long enough to allow the flesh
to heal , an aluminum needle is used instead -
stead of the flexible probe , the needlq being -
ing Inserted into the part of the body
where the bullet is known to be. ) laving
reached a desired depth in the tlssuea , llie
surgeon moves the needle back and forth ,
making tlio point explore a region perhaps -
haps an inch in diameter. If the bullet
is Imbedded there , llle sounder gives
warning of the fact , and if not the surgeon
drawn out the needle and repeats the opera-
tiop in a new hnertlon , continuing thus until
Tha bullet le found , When that happens he
detaches the wire from the needle , which hi
loft In lire patient's body in contact with the
bullet , whlclt serves later as a guide to the
operating knife ,
Another way in which the human body
may with good results be turned into a battery -
tery is in caeea where It is desired to ra-
move certan ) tumors , abscesses , blrlh marks ,
warts an4 other unpleasant growths , and this
without leaving scars , as might happen from
the use of the knife. A circuit being estab-
Ilshed through the body , a needle or prop-
eriy shaped electrode is gently Introduced
into the substance to be annlhllaled , and Immediately -
mediately , as It is tryo whenever a current
passes through a Ilquid , a chemical change
begins , the liquid which forms the bulk of
the offending growth being gradually decom-
poaed Into Its constituent gases , and so pass.
lug away , leaving but a aught residue of south
'natter , Repeated application. of this treatment -
ment are necessary to ehtitely drive away
tha growth , but q steady gain is ndted with
successive appllcatlons until Qrally in a largo
number ot cases Tbo patient finds himself
entirely rid of Ills trouble , no scar remaining
and no pain baying been experienced.

And there Is coming about a perceptible
change In the way of viewing bodily condl-
tlois , and a movement toward the ancient
wisdom of the Orientals , who have matn-
tatned for centuries that the proper burlness
of doctors Is not so much to combat disease
as to maintain health and let the body do
Ito own combatltlg ,
That electricity will do mueh to maintain
health . cannot be seriously questioned , It

knead the fesi ) and muscles bgtler than the
most skillful massaga operator , It will give
exercise with all the glov and fatlguo of a
horrebaolc ride or a foot ball scrimmage , It
will calm the nerves and Induce sleep ,
Raclerlologlsts tell us that the human
body is a battlefield on wldch are encamped
rival armlee of microbes , the good and the
bad , those that sustain health , those that
breed Illness , And between these twa
armies a never ceasing war Is carried on

strengthening the whole system , so that It
can fight Its own hattiee , and here electricity
is a powerful and ever ready ally.
Already D'Arsenval and other Pari ape ,

to supersede drugs with electrlclty by the
construction of eleotrlcal aliam6era , which

was the drayrnan , and wl + en Judge llender-
shalt started to cross-examine him he con-
eluded to frighten him Into contradicting
his testimony of the oxaminatlon-fn chiet.
Assuming a dramatic pose'and with a stern
voice he saki ; 'Remember , sir , you are on
your oath , Remember , you have sworn to
tell the truth , the whole truth and nothing
but the truth , Iemember , that to deviate
one Iola from the truth Is perjury , and the
punishment for perjury is Imprisonment In
llio state penitentiary of Iowa , Now , sir ,
upon your oath , did you deliver that barrel
of whisky to Pat fluffy ? '
"Tho Irlshnnan answered coolly and de-
Ilheralely , 'Well , judge , bean' on me oath ,
faith I couldn't ' say I delivered a bar'1
at Mr. Duffy's place , On one Ind of that
bar' ( was marked "Pat Duffy , " on the ither
and was marked "whisky , " but beln' on mo
oath I couldn't say whether Pat Duffy or
